MacBook Pro 2011 doesn't charge the battery at all. Only works with the powercord. Reset SMC already. Ideas?
The battery doesn't charge at all anymore.
My Macbook pro suddenly stopped working without the cord plugged in.
And when the laptop is switched off, it switches on by its own as soon as I plug it in.
I reset the SMC, to no avail.
Any tips?
Thanks.

If it has a replaceable battery, then consider replacing it.
Open System Profiler in Utilities folder. After it opens click on the Power entry in the sidebar. See what it reports for your battery. If it's no longer usable it will generally say "Service."
If you don't have a user-replaceable battery, then take it to an Apple Store.

My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks
Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps. -

how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.
Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner. -

Late Macbook Pro 2011 won't charge via MagSafe adapter.
My friends Macbook Pro 2011 same as mine wont charge the battery via MagSafe adapter. The battery is good and the adapter also, ive checked them on my Mac. The problem is that on her Mac it won't charge. I've change the MagSafe adapter on her computer and it didn't work still no charge, no green light on the L shaped adapter. Can it be the Logic Board?
Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

My MacBook pro 2011 isn't charging!
My 13" MacBook Pro 2011 i7 model isn't charging. It's only 2 weeks old. The magsafe adaptor light doesn't come on at all, I have tried restarting my computer, and I have tried several different power outlets, all give the same effect. I havn't been rough with it, the most travelling it has done is going between my bedroom and my loungeroom. The screen seems to keep dimming and lighting up, but I may just be seeing things being paranoid.
What can I do? Will Apple cover this in the warranty if it's actually broken? D:Try this first:

I am going to NYC in a week and I'm wondering if there is a store where I can buy a new trackpad for my Macbook Pro 2011 unibody. I would also like to buy the tools i need to replace it myself. I can't find anything when I search the interwebz.
The problem is that when the machine is closed, it goes to sleep, and in sleep mode, all that goes on is that a bare trickle of power is used to keep the contents of RAM alive. Networking is definitely not active while asleep.
Now, regarding ds store's solution, that's a fairly bad idea. If the machine is just sitting at your desk, you don't need to close it, or if you feel a need to close it you can use Kappy's solution. (Although, it should be noted that apps like InsomniaX and Caffeine do not, as far as I know, keep a machine awake when the lid is shut.) If you're worried about passersby seeing your screen, just activate the screen saver instead. You could even require a password to dismiss the screen saver for added security.
On the other hand, if the machine is being transported, keeping the lid open and the machine running is not a good idea. The sudden motion sensor ought to protect your hard drive against damage caused by moving the machine around... if it's working properly, and I'd rather not depend on an "if" to prevent hardware damage to the machine. Plus, if it's in a bag and you've forced it to stay running, it could overheat due to lack of ventillation.
So, long story short: if you're transporting it, close it and deal with logging back in to the network, and if it's on your desk, don't bother closing it. -
My MacBook Pro A1278 won't charge the battery.
The battery is in good condition and it will charge in another laptop and run the pro with no problems. The charger shows a very faint green light. I replaced the DC-in board and no luck. Same problem. The pro will not power up with the charger alone and no battery. I've also tried different chargers and SMC reset. Any suggestions, or does it sound like it may be the logic board? Thanks.

MacBook Pro (2011) Won't Charge Without Restart
Hi guys, I searched the forums for this problem but couldn't find a match. When I plug the power cable into my 2011 17" MacBook Pro it won't take a charge and the light on the cable doesn't come on. However if I restart the computer, the light will come on and it will start charging. This sounds like a software issue to me and I haven't had the problem until recently so I'm guessing it's caused by the latest OS X update. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and found a fix?
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

"Error Disk too Slow" Macbook Pro 2011 - Maverick and Yosemite - The Great Grand Mystery Unfolds!!!
Hey everybody,
Logic Pro X user here, have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2.8ghz intel core i7, running latest version of Mavericks and more recently on a separate partition I tried Yosemite with a clean install of only Logic Pro X.
I use Apogee Quartet as my audio interface, I have a OWC Mercury Elite Firewire 800 external drive that I record to, all LPX files are on my internal drive.
Before Mavericks I had 0 issues with this setup, no with just one sole drummer track, or one single audio or software track, I get the various disk too slow errors after a few seconds.
I have tried reinstalling LPX, I tried a clean partition with nothing but Logic Pro on it (both Mavericks and Yosemite).
I have reset my PRAM and used Apple Hardware diagnostics as well as memtest (i think it was called) and even reverted back to my old original RAM that came with the computer. All hardware tests passed, I have verified and repaired disks from disk utility as well as from the recovery partition.
I have worked with Apple a bit over the phone doing these things, I have also read just about every thread on this pervasive issue. And its ruining my experience as a user. I absolutely loved Logic on Mountain Lion, no issues whatsoever! I'm considering reverting back to it actually.
On a side note I also have a HDMI Tv connected through the thunderbolt display, and a self powered USB hub that I connect my wireless mouse, iPhone cable and WD MY passport drive (which I only use for Time Machine).
I'm basically at my wits end and open to anybodies suggestions, I even tried resting the SMC and several other things advised in these forums.
I'm Stil under Apple Care and wondering if going into them is my only hope left.
I find that garageband acts the same, but I have no other system issues! its so bizarre, performance on all other programs is totally fine, its only when I want to record that I get issues.
For the record I do have some 3rd party VTS (Arturia V collection, EZ drummer 2 and AMplitube) but when I did the clean partition they weren't there and I still had the disk to slow error, so I'm not convinced its because of those.
Also Since the partition I obviously have played with my storage but I still have 75 gas of space on the mavericks partition (out of 500gb ) and on Yosemite partition I have 125 gbs available and on my Firewire external drive I have about 150gb left on a 500gb drive, so I'm not convinced its a space issue either (especially since before Mavericks Mountain Lion seemed to work just fine.)
HELP! Please help...I'm so exhausted trying to fix this on my own, and admittedly I've run to the end of my own capacity and don't know where to go from here.
Thank you for any suggestions, sorry for the long post, and if I have left anything out please let me know, this is my first post.And yes I did upgrade my apogee drivers to the recent ones they just released.

My MacBook Pro (Latest, Retina, Mountain Lion, 10.8.2) won't work with HDMI..!?!!!?!?!
I usually connect my MacBook Pro to my TV through a HDMI cable, I never have to change any settings or anything, I just turn on my TV, plug in the HDMI cable to my MacBook and my TV, and it does the rest itself. But I tried to do this yesterday, and my computers screen just went blue, then briefly flashing my original screen before going completely dark. I can then only see an enlarged cursor, and it slowly, veeeeeery slowly, peices together my screen (NOTE: it is doing this on my TV AND on my MacBook, so I can't see anything on either screen for ages unless I remove the HDMI cable) it took 40mins to peice together about 1/3 of the screen, and even then, it was insanely glitchy, I could hardly press anything... How can I fix this? Keeping in mind that I cannot see my screen while the HDMI cable is in... And I know for a fact that it is not a problem with either the TV or the HDMI cable because it had no trouble connecting my other Windows laptop to it... Someone please help!!!
This is just one of the glitches you'll find in Apple Mac OS X. One day something works and the next, or a few hours later, it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for it. It just happens.
About the only way to fix it is to Reinstall, at least that is what I have found I've had to do in some circumstances.
