MacBook Air :: Wouldn't Turn On Fully
Jun 27, 2014
my macbook air, the other day wouldn't turn on fully so i restored it but somewhere along the way, i deleted my start up disk and now it won't go past the questiomark, i went into disk recovery mode and tried to reinstall osx mountain lion but it won't install because i think must've deleted my Macontoish Hd as well.i have an external drive which was my time machine backup called 'mactiosh Hd' but when i tried to restore it with that info it won't let me.

I don't have a warranty anymore. I got my Mac three and a half years ago. At first two days ago, I had a hard time turning it on. The charger didn't have a glowing green light. Then, once I got it on, the battery sign said it wasn't charging, had an X or something. But I got by by just leaving the charger on and it must have been charging some because I could use it for more hours than my usual 100% charged. My battery have always been damn awful because of the edition. But last night, I couldn't get it to turn on at all. The fan makes noises and so does the computer and sometimes, I can see very faintly that it goes to the sign-in. It could just be out of batteries and doesn't turn all the way on, just shuts down after a minute.
But since I don't have warranty, I am wondering how much it'd be to visit the Apple Store. And also, if anyone know of any way to fix it...could it be some other issue aside from the battery? This happened right after a storm that we had while I was at work and left it plugged on. But there was no lightning.

I bought a MacBook pro in march 2011 and has been working perfectly fine since then. The charger did break but I purchased a new one. I was using it for most of the day on Tuesday and it worked fine, I shut it down like normal and stored it in it's case overnight. On Wednesday morning I tried to switch it on and nothing happened! It's fully charged and I've tried the smc reset and nothing happens. There's no fan sounds or anything!

I am using Mac Pro with retina display
Processor : 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Problem: My mac turns on only when connected to the charger even though it is 100% charged. Once it is on, I can disconnect the charger and continue to work on it.
However, if I don't connect the charger at the initial stage it does not turn on at all.

This is something that has happened since my initial installation of XP on my bootcamp partition. Whenever the light sensor detects low light, the backlight turns on at full blast. This is normal. However, when I go to turn the backlight off completely (as to save battery or if I'm watching a movie in windows and I don't want to see the keyboard lit up) it turns it down, but not completely off. Even though the backlight indicator claims that it is down the whole way, it never completely turns off. In OSX when I do this, it turns it completely off whenever I set it to the same setting.
has anyone had something similar in their MBP or any ideas of what is wrong? Is it just something with the drivers?

My macbook refused to charge but it could still come on when plugged in, but at some point it didn't even come on so i figured there was something wrong with the charger. I changed the charger but still it wouldn't come on.

I have a macbook pro (penryn) that just stopped working. I believe the hard drive just died on me because whenever I try to boot up, I just hear this clicking sound. I think I may have a bootable backup I made with SuperDuper! a while back on my external hard drive. I tried connecting it to my MBP but it wouldn't detect the drive. I only get the mouse cursor when I hold down the option key at boot.
Does anyone know if this may be a known defect? Do you think Apple will replace the hard drive for me?

So I partitioned my MacBook's hard-drive so I could put Windows 7 on, using BootCamp. That all went well, except for some reason, the Windows 7 wouldn't work on the partition, according to the installation program. So I thought "Oh well, I already have Vista and XP on Parallels." I returned to OS X, and went to Disk Utility. I erased the partition I created, and when I tried to resize the original partition afterwards (so it took up the whole hard-drive again), it... failed. The computer froze.
I held down the power button for several seconds, and then it shut off. When I tried turning it on again, the computer said "No bootable device found. Insert bootable drive and press any key."
(Just for giggles: imagine a 16-year-old kid who paid $1600 to get a computer in this situation. Yeah, that's me.)
After I calmed down from my panic attack, I restarted it again and held down the option key. Thankfully, it gave me the option of starting in "Macintosh HD." Everything fixed... right?
Wrong.
I was on the MacRumors forums when my computer froze (stupid "grey screen," and it makes your music skip over and over which is really annoying). When I shut it off and turned it on again, once again it gave the same warning about a bootable device!
What do I have to do to make it so the HD is the bootable device?

I wasn't able to edit and was having issues on this site earlier (access denied) I'll try to make this as short as possible. I have a Macbook Pro (late 2011) running OS X 10.9.4Today I was typing in a website address for work and instead of that homepage I had hostprivilege.com come up with something about Norton anti virus, virus not removed, i can't remember exactly but something along those lines. Also a small pop up window showed up to call an 1 800 number with the ok button highlighted Everytime I hit the ok it would pop right back up.
I was unable to click anything else front ehSafari drop down box except for the quit button. When I did and came back on it was till there. I finally kept clicking the ok and reset Safari and after frantic clicking was able to reset. What that was and should I be concerned? I was leery about logging on even to this site or any other until I know that happened. I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I got a red error message bar a couple of times while in the site and when trying to change my avatar, I had a access denied on the server message.

I have 'Illuminate Keyboard in Low Light Conditions' Checked in system preferences and the keyboard is still lit up when the room is fully lit? Wouldn't only light up when the room is dark? I'm pressing keys and its always lighting up? its probably not even an issue and I'm over thinking it?

I pressed the play button (F8) on my mac book pro yesterday. Iphoto began playing a fullscreen slideshow that I was not able to stop by any means. I hit the key for force quit and it appeared on the screen but was not able to be clicked. I pressed the power button for 5 seconds then for the first time ever on macbook pro that was so expensive.. Are there people switching back to snow leopard, which is less iPaddy?

I was on Netflix but all of a sudden my MacBook crashed, it wouldn't do anything, so I held the power button until it turned off. But when I tried to turn it back on, the booting wouldn't complete. It turns on, I hear the chime, I see the apple logo and the "turning on" screen but out of nowhere it turns off. What should I do?

my 2006 macbook has not been able to start. First it didn't even have the chime, then I read through some threads in this forum and figured out that one of my RAMs was not properly put in. I fixed that, now I get the chime, the apple sign, and a spinning wheel and I am stuck there forever.
I tried:
resetting PRAM, didn't help.
start from safe boot, still stuck with apple sign and spinning wheel.
boot from installation CD by holding either the "C" or "D" key, it would not start from the CD.
Curiously, I can start it in Windows and I am using Windows right now. Some threads said that it could be a hard drive problem, but if I am using Windows, does it mean that my hard drive is fine?
I've already spent 800+ fixing the logic board in 2008 b/c of a water spill and really don't want to spend any meaningful amount of money to fix this 1000 bucks or so laptop. If any hardware is in jeopardy, I'd rather just throw it away. However, I would like to at least be able to start it in Mac OS once so that I can back up my documents.

I have a 2.5Gh intel core i5. I put it to sleep last night and today when I went to turn it on it wouldn't wake up. It wouldn't respond to pushing the power button. I unplugged it and plugged it into another power outlet (both worked with other appliances). finally after about about 20 minutes I unplugged the power cord from the back of the computer. As soon as I pushed it back on the computer started booting up (without even hitting the power button). What happened? Did my power drop and this was sort of a reset for the mac?

So, when using bootcamp today I was installing Republic commando for PC. While it loaded, it froze. So I turned it off and back on, but the windows parition wouldn't start up while loading. Neither did mac, unless I used the safe boot. It wouldn't detect my mouse, and I had to replug it. And finally, I discovered my sound didn't work. It shows that its at top volume, and its locked, with a transparent volume icon. So I can't listen to anything, use my windows parition, and I have to use safe boot (which takes about five minutes) to start up my mac parition. Is there any way to fix this?

I tried to launch Safari (version 4.1.2) but it wouldn't open. It just bounced once from the dock and that was it. Today it bounces twice and nothing.I started reading some stuff in mac forums and read what others with a similar problem were saying. They said ichat and itunes were not working either. I checked mine and lo and behold mine weren't working either. How are these applications all connected? I tried to check for software updates for Safari from my computer but when I tried that, the software update icon appeared in my dock, bounced once, shrunk and disappeared. It wouldn't open either.I am using firefox currently. I had not used it for a long time, so when I opened it last night, it asked me to update flash. I did. But I don't see how that could be the problem since I updated flash AFTER realizing safari wouldn't open.

I just bought a Dell U2410 to use as an external monitor (connected with DVI) with my MBP. After initial problems getting the best calibration setup I'm now very happy with it except for one annoyance. The problem: When the MBP puts its display to sleep the Dell monitor goes into sleep mode and then immediately wakes up and then goes back into sleep mode, cycling like this indefinitely.

Sarfari version is 5.1.5. I got the Google Earth icon on the desktop, but wasn't sure I was installing it on the Mac Hard drive. When I see the plus sign, does and then press enter, does that install where it's supposed to on the HD?
