Yoga 11S Won't Run Without Plugged into Charger

My webcam stopped working, so I opened up the laptop to check the connections. (I did this after making sure all the drivers were updated). At first, I checked the connection at the camera, above the screen. I made sure the cable was connected and then put the laptop back together, turned it on, and tested the webcam. Didn't work.
Next, I opened up the bottom part of the laptop. The camera connection was loose, so I fixed it. I then connected everything back together. At first, the laptop didn't turn on. Next, I tried the suggestion to remove the battery, hold the power button down for a minute, then connect the AC adaptor, and then the battery. Since the battery is not a "removeable battery," I did this by disconnecting all the cables coming from the battery. I was then able to turn on the laptop.
Now, the laptop will only stay on when plugged into the charger. It also seems that the battery isn't charging, even though it says "charging" when you click on the battery icon. I've quadruple checked that every wire was reconnected.
Any suggestions?? Please help!

My accounts program won't run without legacy Java SE6 runtime since I upgraded to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it

My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support

Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. And the power button doesn't work.

My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. the problem is that the power button doesn't work.

Well, that is going to make it difficult, since the first two steps of user troubleshooting require the use of the power button. I suggest you get that fixed.

Check for hardware issues

AC adapter bad? Powerbook won't run without battery

I think my powerbook (G4 aluminum, purchased Dec 2005) AC adapter is bad--the powerbook won't boot up without the battery (which, thankfully has not been recalled!).
I did check the AC issues listed in this Apple doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302461
The light on the adapter is green, the battery charge indicator menu states "Charged." However, none of the 5 lights on the battery are lit when the AC adapter is plugged into the computer and an outlet.
I have both AppleCare and ProCare--would a replacement AC adapter be covered under either plan?
P.S. the logic board was replaced in this powerbook last week by Apple because the computer would not boot up, there was a loud "fan" sound and one beep every 3 seconds.
Anyway, help!
powerbook G4 ( Dec 2005) - ARRRGHH! Mac OS X (10.4.7) and ibook G3 (10.3.9) -- never any problems!

I appreciate your advice! I agree that I should take in the powerbook for another round of repairs. However, I want to get some idea of the possible causes of this problem before returning it. Here's why:
[warning: venting ahead]
I am not taking it back to the nearest Genius Bar because of the poor, indifferent service there. Specifically: first guy guesses that the logic board needs replacement, and says the contents of my hard drive are not "protected," then tries to sell me ProCare, which has some kind of hard drive back up deal included. Since I hadn't backed up in months, I bought the Procare contract.
The next day, a different local Genius tells me that the hard drive could not be recovered, it was the cause of the computer crash, and just the hard drive will be replaced at the factory, and it will take 2 weeks.
Two days later, another Genius calls to say my computer's ready for pick up. They replaced the logic board, and the hard drive is fine--untouched. Hurrah.
I used my Procare status to get a Genius appointment to pick up the computer. Yet another Genius doesn't want to listen to my complaints about the "hard drive disaster Genius." I make him turn on the computer [battery power] to make sure the hard drive is OK (yes). I am then shooed out the door.
This is why I don't trust the local Geniuses to examine my computer again. The second nearest Apple store is 25 miles away, so I guess I'll go there for future repairs.

Ipad won't start unless plugged into the wall or earphone jack in??

How to look/ read old messages without plugging into computer

How to get old pictures back and messages

If you deleted pictures without importing them to the computer, they are gone. Messages are kept in the backup, but once they are deleted they are gone as well.
What are you trying to do? Even plugging into the computer will not allow you to read old messages if you have deleted them.

MacBook Pro fans running when plugged into Thunderbolt displays

I just got a sweet setup at work - a new MacBook Pro and 2 Thunderbolt displays. However, immediately upon setup I noticed the fans on the Mac Book operating constantly, even when I was just surfing the net or working in one Microsoft program.
I just spent a few hours working on the laptop - not plugged in to the Thunderbolt displays - and the fans did not go on at all. Within minutes of plugging it in to the displays, the fans started up again. So I think it may have something to do with the Mac Book being plugged into the Thunderbolt displays.
Can anyone help?
Mac Book Pro, Version 10.7.2, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Hello,
I'm so sorry for the slow response! I ended up calling Apple because I was still mystified and no one was responding here.
The nice gentleman at Apple told me the following. The MacBook Pro can handle two Thunderbolts max. If the CPU is constantly running hot, then it could be an issue in the long term.
We went through the software update process for the Thunderbolt displays again, and it turns out that the software was NOT updating!!! It's not the usual "click install and the computer takes care of it all" sort of update - unfortunately I don't remember exactly what we did, but you have to go to the Applications folder and actually install something.
You'll know if you haven't followed these steps if, when you go back to check for updates, the Thunderbolt display update keeps popping up.
Since installing that firmware update, I have been using my MacBook with only one display. In the next week, I will probably plug it in to the second display and see if there are fan issues. If so, then Apple told me to call them back and see about further troubleshooting.
I hope this was somewhat helpful. If you are still unclear, I'd say call Apple! They were really helpful! Good luck!

Yoga 11s won't power on - clicking sound not from hard drive

Looks like I'm two months past warranty, and my yoga 11s is not powering on. Symptoms are as follows, would really appreciate someone's help!
When pressing the power button, the light comes on
A light clicking sound starts
The fan does start spinning
That's it... screen does not come on
When you unplug the charger, a loud single beep results
I took apart the laptop to try to pinpoint the sound, and I believe it's coming from somewhere around the processor. Could it be the heat sink? It's a solid state drive and I don't think the clicking is coming from there...
Any one else have this problem? Any suggestions?!

I had a similar problem and the screen was blank. Not sure if this will help. I searched for a day for solutions but in the end it was the screen that was turned off. I simply pressed the brightness button and one of the other screen buttons on the keyboard and it was alive.

My iphone will not get off the apple logo screen. it also will not let me reset it and won't restore when plugged into my mac. what should i do?

my iphone 4 will not get off the apple logo screen.
I've been trying to rest it for several hours with no luck.
It also doesn't do anything when plugged into my mac,
itunes will not recognize it at all.
what should i do?
thank you !

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.

Laptop turns off randomly when not plugged into charger

I have a 2013 Macbook Air and a few weeks ago, it started turning off randomly after a few minutes of use. It only works without turning off when it's plugged into the power.
I tried resetting the SMC various times, and the battery software update was not applicable to my device.
I'm not sure if it's a dead battery or not, because the device still charges.
I work for a magazine, and kinda need my laptop so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hey bbkae
Continue you troubleshooting with the article below to check the health of your battery. I would try to run hardware diagnostics on it to see if it passes the test.

Hello lorvic9195,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".
