Problem: I can’t turn my MacBook Air on - problems android solved

Problem: I can’t turn my MacBook Air on

Solution:

  • First, check to see if your whole Mac has turned off, or just the screen. Is it still making noise? Does the Caps Lock key still light up? Does pushing the Power Button making a chiming noise? Then the issue is probably with your screen, and you should skip to the next problem on our list.
  • If your MacBook is truly off and refuses to turn on, then check for any power problems. Cover the basics first. Is your battery charged? Does your laptop work when the power cord is plugged in? Does an extra power cord work? This indicates a problem with your battery or power cord. You should also disconnect everything (including your mouse, mobile devices, etc.) from your MacBook and see if that helps fix the problem.
  • Reset your MacBook. You can reset simply by holding down the power button for at least ten seconds. Then push the power button again as you would normally to see if your Mac turns back on.
  • Sometimes an important new upgrade like new memory can freeze your MacBook in permanent “uh-oh” mode. This is rare for the Air, which is built with a very compact design and resists most modding attempts. However, if you have added memory or other capabilities via external or internal work, note that removing upgrades may solve your problem. The access to Apple’s instructions may help here.

Can’t Connect Android to a Windows PC - problems with android 2016

Can’t Connect Android to a Windows PC - problems with android 2016

There’s two ways (there used to be three) that Android connects to a computer: Android Debug Bridge (ADB) or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). ADB lets users interact with Android’s operating system while MTP only permits access to specially designated media storage directories. ADB always causes the most amount of problems.

I have a full-length article on how to fix ADB in Windows. More or less, it’s just a matter of installing Koush’s universal ADB drivers. Read the complete article in case that Koush’s drivers aren’t enough.

The Nuclear Option

If all else fails, and you’ve even turned to search engines for help, there’s still the Android equivalent of the nuclear option: a factory reset. To perform a factory reset go to:
  • Settings
  • Backup & reset
  • Then choose reset at the bottom of the window

How do I Free up Memory on My Android Device? - problems with andoid 6

How do I Free up Memory on My Android Device? problems with andoid 6

By memory, you might be referring to RAM. The Android operating system works best with a minimal number of installed applications. That’s because some apps like to run in the background, even when you don’t actually use the app. The more apps installed, the more likely it is that some will run wild in the background. The simplest solution is to uninstall all non-essential applications.
We do not suggest using an app killer as this will negatively impact the functionality of some of your apps.

How Do I Install Google Play? - problems with android 5 - 2016

How Do I Install Google Play?

Some imported tablets and smartphones don’t come with the Google Play Store. Users will need to locate an APK (Android installable file) from a third party source and then manually install it. Before getting started, you’ll need to enable third party sources. To do so, go to:
  • Settings
  • Security
  • Then check the box for “unknown sources”
Once checked, you can install the Play Store. Here is a link to a legitimate Play Store APK: Download Google Play Store.

Google Play Store Not Downloading Apps - Problems with android 3

Google Play Store Not Downloading Apps

Sometimes Google Play won’t install applications. There’s two kinds of popular fixes. The first is to wipe Google Play’s cache. The second is to erase Google Play’s history.

Wipe Google Play Cache

In my experience, the best fix is to wipe Google Play’s cache. Go to:

  • Settings
  • Apps
  • Swipe right to locate the “all” tab
  • Locate Google Play Store and wipe cache and data
  • Restart your phone

Wipe Google Play History

I’m skeptical about this fix. However, for those desperate, give it a shot. Here’s how:

  • Open Google Play Store.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Choose Clear History.

Insufficient Space on Device - problems with android N 2

Insufficient Space on Device

Android allocates fixed storage space for apps. Users can’t expand it. So you might run into this error even if your device indicates a great deal of remaining storage capacity.

The easiest way to free up space is to begin uninstalling apps. However, if you use music apps, like Spotify, you might not be able to find where the files are being stored. The quickest way to free up space is to use an app like CCleaner.

 If you want to get a visual display of where all your memory is going, try using DiskUsage. It will visually display your files’ locations and size.
