Macbook pro 13 in 2010 not charging?

hi! i recently bought a macbook pro 2010 around a month ago, put of no where it stopped charging and i didn't realize until after my laptop had already died, i had the charging port replaced thinking that could be the problem but sure enough it still does not work, the battery indicator flashes one green light for 5 seconds, the magsafe L charger i have shows an orange light when i plug it into the outlet and when i plug it into the computer, when i unplug the charger from the laptop the battery indicator does flash that one light again, can anyone tell me what could be wrong? i cannot do much with it considering its dead and wont turn on. i already tried leaving it alone to charge all night and it still made no difference.

If you try different outlets and that does not help, try to borrow a different charger and see if that works. If not, or you cannot borrow one, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an App,e store genius bar and have them tested.

Macbook Pro Early 2011 says (Not Charging)

Hello, my Macbook Pro Early 2011 says (Not Charging) when I unplugged the charger, so I can't see how much battery percentage it has, the battery life runs normally, but I can't see where it goes because of the (Not charging) message. I can only see it when I plug the power adapter, but once I unplugged it, it comes the (Not charging) message again. please help. thank you.

ok, the problem is that it says (Not charging) even though the power adapter is not plugged in. It is charging normally but doesn't show the battery percentage because it shows a (Not charging) message. The only way to know the battery percentage is plugging in the power adapter, but once I unplugged it, the (Not charging) message appears again and don't let me see how much battery it has left.
PS: English is not my first language so I'm doing my best to be understood

NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Macbook Pro suddenly turned off, not charging either.

My Macbook Pro suddenly turned off last night. I've tried all the troubleshoots listed in the user manual. Thought it was just batt low but it would not even charge, neither the battery sign located on the left side wouldn't show any sign/blink/color. Please help me, it's just 8-month old and Im not sure what could be the reason of this problem. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Macbook pro a/c adapter not charging

The Apple a/c adapter that charges the Macbook Pro (daughter's computer) does not charge the computer nor does the green light on the cord light up. Was going to test someone's else Macbook Pro adapter to see if the issue is with the original adapter and not the internal battery. Assume the adapter just needs to be replaced. Not for sure if there was some type of electrical surge or problem that caused the adapter to go bad.

Hi
Had the problem of "battery not charging" on Macbook Pro 2006
Charger connecter lit up green
It was very new non apple battery from OWC
Looked at the System Profile only 16 cycles on the battery
AC charger was shown as "connected"
Battery showed up so not a problem with poor connection or not properly inserted (I had tried taking the battery in and out several times) but the profiler said "Charging: No"
Charger worked on another Macbook so that wasnt the problem
I tried the SMC reset where you sleep, shutdown, take out the battery, press power supply for 5 secs, reconnect AC, reinsert battery etc - No luck
Then I read the SMC also controls the sleep wake cycle and lid closure.
I cant exactly remember what I did because I was so ****** off by this stage and starting to lose concentration but I think I closed the lid and let the computer go to sleep and then opened it again to rewake.
After doing this 3 times the bloody thing now shows the battery is charging
A bit random I know but saved me having mental breakdown
I would love to know if this helps anyone else!

My Macbook Pro saying Battery is Not Charging

When I plug my Macbook Pro into a charger it is saying "Battery is Not Charging" and the charger isn't changing color when plugged in. But it is making the charging symbol over the battery?

Hi ohhellonat,
If you are having unusual power or battery issues with your MacBook Pro, you may want to try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). You may find the following article helpful:

Macbook pro 5,3 will not charge the battery

the 85w charger will not charge my macbook battery, the indicator turns orange indicating that its charging, but the battery charge level does not increase. either its the charger or its the battery not accepting a chare.
is there any way to distinguished between what one it is other than purchasing a new charger?

See Step #1 for power/battery issues. Do a SMC Reset.

Macbook pro 15'' 2011 will not charge while playing games under win7 64

During the game (under high load ex. crysis2), the charging LED changes from orange to green and the computer does not charge,
even the battery drains slowly. If battery charge is 100%, in about 50 minutes after the start of the game, the battery charge drops to 94% and
when I quit the game the charging LED changes from green to orange... What's the deal? (Sorry for my english, i'm italian ).

I've just bought a 17" MBP and I'm having the same issue, but in OSX and Linux just the same. In one incident, my battery was running low so I plugged it in, but it still died about 10 minutes later because it continued to draw more power than the Magsafe plug could provide. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of filesystem corruption from the sudden power loss. That this is a common issue to 2011 MBPs does not magically make it "acceptable", especially when the fix consists of providing a more powerful charger.
For a $2500 laptop this is absolutely ridiculous. If the thing draws 100w under peak usage, make a damned charger that provides 120w. In the worst case, it will keep the computer running without unduly stressing the battery. In the best case, it will charge the battery much faster.

My Macbook Air 11 (late 2010) not charging "battery replace now) message 28 months old only 6 charge cycles. what could cause this?

I've unplugged plugged in. Checked the charger. Nothing runing. I've Shut down rebooted ran diagnostics and just about everything resolution I could find on-line. Its almost always plugged in and has not been used on battery power in a long time. Its not run down to zero power before. Just suddenly shut off the other day and won't charge now. Says replace battery now, but I just want to see if it could be something else. Hard to believe the battery went bad like that.
Thanks

always plugged in and usually in sleep mode.
So it was always plugged in, never discharged, and was never really OFF, just in sleep mode.
Sounds like you got some half-true 'advice' from some people.
It DOES shut down when fully charged and you cant "overcharge" your macbook....., and the "others" were correct that your battery should be cycled every couple weeks at least.
what they didnt tell you is "plugged in and OFF is one thing.......plugged in ALL THE TIME...AND in sleep mode (for years)......NO!"
Heres some info for the "next battery" :
Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles DOWN on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery.
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your macbook and therefore you cannot 'overcharge' it when plugged in and already fully charged
If you leave your macbook plugged in all the time, take it off charge and drain the battery down to 15 or 20% every couple of weeks or so.
LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
LiPo batteries do NOT like to be dropped down to 15% or so often,....key word being "often"
A lot of battery experts call the use of LiPo cells the "80% Rule" ....meaning use 80% of the charge or so,.. then recharge them for longer overall life.
Never let your Macbook die from power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
**Also new evidence suggests that sudden loss of power can adversely affect data on a SSD (solid state drive).....again, dont let it ever shut down from total power loss
The only quantified abuse seen to LiPo cells is instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low.
Contrary to what some might say, LIPo batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity.
Same way you dont take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
*Also, if youre going to store your macbook away for a few weeks or more,... make sure it has at least a 50% or so charge.
*Cycle count / use/ lifespan is one thing that cant be countered.
Proper treatment is another thing. Just because LiPo batteries dont need conditioning in general,.. does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesnt need conditioning.
Just use and enjoy your new macbook,
From Apple on batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
but really all you would keep in mind is --"consider 15-20% is the same as 0% and recharge it"
and best "tip" is if its near a socket, .....plug it in as long as you can (especially at home) since cycle count on the battery are the "miles that wear out the tires (battery)"

I can't get any of my applications to open. I can't connect to my Wi fi and my MacBook Pro says it's not charging. It is 4 yrs old and I've taken it in for repairs 3 times this year. Also was told my cd rom packed it in. Is it possible I need a new one?

Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(. Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch not charging

Plugged in my laptop this morning and it refuses to charge. Have checked the transformer to wall section and it's working fine, not sure what to do now.
Is this a common problem?
Really urgent because I use it for work, can't get an appointment at the Genius Bar until Sunday.

I fear if you can't fix it there, we can't fix it from here...
This might help.
You may also see if an AASP is perhaps nearer and faster than the Genius Bar.
Other than that, you can only try finding out what it is, the charger or the Mac, by seeing if you can try your charger with another Mac, or your Mac with another charger, so then you'll be at least prepared when heading to the Genius Bar. Friends? Family? Neighbors?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010. My battery has 326 cycles. It is not lasting more than 1 hr and a few minutes before needing a charge. How many cycles should it have?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010 that was purchased in summer of 2010. My battery has used 326 cyles. Is this normal for these batteries after two years? How many cycles should I expect to get out of it before getting a new one? Also, it only last about 1 hour plus about 30 minutes before needing to be charged again.

The battery is considered a 'consumable' item by Apple - I know that newer models (not sure about 2010's) are supposed to 'last' to about 1,000 cycle counts. But it all depends on how you've used (or abused) your battery as to how long it's going to last. I've 182 cycles on my 8 month old MBP and my battery 'health' is at 98%: I can still get a good 6 1/2 hours out of it...
...if you want more battery time, you're just going to have to buy a new battery or, if you purchased AppleCare, see if Apple will replace it gratis. I doubt that they will, though...

Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 freezes ,hang , not respond

HI all!
Im a owner of Macbook Pro 13 MID 2010 and mine has same problems
System freeze ,mouse blocked,keyboard light off,keyboard blocked,only power off by button.
It happens randomly with aplications or only in finder ,or once was at start up after login ...
But i can work 3 days or more without problems,so for technical service will be difficult to see it.
Im a professional musician and i make my performances for a hundred of people with a laptop so i cant risk a set with this laptop no more...
Y tried to reinstall system,same problems...
I think is a hardware in 13 ,15 and 17 macbook pro 2010.
I will not accept a hard drive repair,i will request a new unit.
It only has 2 months......And as my job depends of a laptop, i need a new one.
Now im again working with my old Powerbook G4 (2002) and still goes perfect !!!!
BTW: check this link,apple is returning new unots tosome users with same problems
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/05/continued-macbook-pro-mid-2010-beach-ballsfreeze s-apple-replacing-testing-units/
By the way
It happens with 10.6.3 and 10 6.4
Hardware test OK!!
And just system installed with no aplications...
I only use Traktor NAtive instrumentes for my performances....all original software.
Freezes were with traktor and without it on system....
External hard druve boot tested and also freezes.
Repair permissions and the same problem.....
APPLE,PLEASE, YOU CAN DISCOUNT TO ME A MONTH OF USE ,BUT I DONT WANT THIS UNIT FOR SURE.

Hi,
I've been having the same problem. I'm a Dj, like a lot of people I use Traktor Scratch Pro. I've been using a mac for mixing for around, 2 years now, never had a problem. Since I updated to leopard snow, I've been experiencing the exact same problems described in this post,the screen freezes, sudden dropouts, when using Traktor software exact same thing, audio dropouts, screen freezes when loading track, or searching library.
I've been doing a LOT of researching, and I'm almost sure the problem is Leopard Snow, I don't know why but I'm almost certain. I erased mi HD, thinking this would solve the problem, loaded snow leopard again... EXACT same problem occured.
I tried all the suggestions in this link, none of them worked for me... http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/mac-os-x-10-6-4-troubleshooting-guide/
So, right now I'm downloading an older version of MAC OS 10.5.5, I will format (again) my HD and install this older version.
I will post again if this solved the issue, hope this helps.
Apple URGENTLY needs a new update (10.6.5) there are a lot of other people like us, that are depending in a lap top (mac) to perform to a lot of people, you can check the forums in www.native-instruments.com, and see this issue is hapening to many of us.
