What the heck is up with my macbook pro

I just got it back from being repaired by apple because my mbp would not charge. It came back from the repairs with full battery life so i have been using that and now im down to 15 % and i go to plug it in and it won't charge. The charger is brand new as my other one melted and had to be replaced. The computer was just "fixed". brand new charger and supposedly repaired macbook pro that won't charge. any ideas as to what the heck is wrong with it, and will apple keep sending it back for repairs or will they give me a new one?

well it turned out it wasn't the computer, the charger that i had when i received my repaired laptop had been shorted out somehow when i plugged into the laptop before i had it repaired, so apple gave me another charger and it's all good now

A little patience would be a virtue. This is a volunteer-staffed user-to-user forum, and reposting after 5 minutes isn't likely to endear you to the other users who respond when they have time available.
If this problem happens everywhere you need to have the phone checked out, as Ralph says. If it is only in certain areas it could be network congestion or a partial network outage. If that is a possibility contact your carrier.

IPhone 5c crash shows green and red lines then shows apple logo and won't come on.

My iPhone 5c has been crashing for some reason. When it crashes it shows green and red lines followed by an endless loop of what seem to be restarts (because the apple logo keeps on flashing). I have no clue as to what could be causing this but it is worrisome. I my phone hacked ? Or is it a mistake on Apple's end? Please reply ASAP.
Thank You

You may want to visit an Apple Retail Store or an authorized reseller to have your device serviced. It seems that your device may have a failing component preventing it from working properly.

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.

What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

MacBook Pro keeps Crashing/Rebooting when Typing

Ever since I installed Mavericks my MacBook Pro keeps crashing/rebooting. It's an early 2012 model machine, and until now has given me no problems at all (except for some odd SafariDAVClient thing that keeps hogging my memory and I have to force close periodically).
The problem is when I am typing a lot (e-mail, or a document) the computer will suddenly freeze momentarilly, then reboot giving me the grey screen with several different languages indicating there was a crash and I need to press any key to continue. I have tried doing a clean re-install of OSX as one discussion thread here suggested to no avail.
THANK YOU for any help someone might be able to offer!

MacBook Pro won't reboot. Get spinning circle even after hard drive replaced at Apple Store

MacBook Pro won't reboot. Have to reinstall OSX each time I shut down in order to get it to start up. What could be wrong? I had the hard drive replaced already.

You shouldn't be using the disc at all. I thought I had made that clear. Boot from your recovery partition and run Disc Utility. If you get the same result -- the internal drive can't be repaired -- then you should consider replacing it. No storage device can be trusted, in my opinion, after throwing an error like that. But whether you choose to replace it or erase it, you have to get the data out first.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Thanks for all of your help! Big time!
Guys, I been in the business working on PC and MAC for years. So I am not green at this, I was looking for some kind of option to get past the boot loader.. Which is failing.
I know how to boot into these modes.. Done tons of research before posting and couldn't find anything.
It will not go into Internet Recovery, or any thing else. I hear the sound .. then that is it.. I get nothing else..
I have tried clearing the NVRAM which is Option + Command + P + R
Still nothing..
So I thought I would try here to see if maybe there was some trick out there someone might know of that would work.
What else guys? I am hitting th keys right..

After updating from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, my MacBook Pro will not reboot. Why? What can I do about it?

After upating from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, my MacBook Pro will not reboot. Why? What can I do about it?

I ended up having to visit an Apple Store. They claimed that the update must have aggravated an already corrupted hard disk drive. The solution was to wipe my hard disk (fortunately I had recently backed up on Time Machine). The "Genius" also claimed this was the first time he had come across the problem. Although he was clearly able to diagnose it straightaway, and the next person he saw had exactly the same problem with his Mac, and I saw an awful lot of customers queuing up with their Macs and iMacs looking very suspiciously like they all had the same problem! So clearly Apple know what the problem is but as usual treat customers as if they're idiots in order to cover up the problem. But at least the problem is now solved (although having to take at trip out and wait in a queue at an Apple store, and then restoring from backups is a painstaking inconvenience I could well have done without). All I can suggest is that you might as well take it in. None of the "solutions" on the Forum are remotely on the ball, and all Apple "Geniuses" have clearly been told what the problem is and how to fix it. Good luck!

MacBook Pro doesn't reboot on Yosemite

Hello!
I upgraded my MacBook Pro (2009) to Yosemite few days ago. Everything was working fine but today, I rebooted my computer and after the loading, I get this page and then nothing happen.
Please, anyone could help me ?
Thank you very much,
Valentin

Hi Valentin,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It looks like your computer is only starting up to the prohibitory sign (circle and slash), and I know this may be worrying.
There are several steps that may help your Mac start up normally that are found in Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup.
For example, try these steps first:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing a Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
All the best,
Jeremy

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all. I have also re-installed OSX from scratch and still happens.

I have the same problem. I have a white macbook 2010, with mavericks os. I just found my mac not powering on and then I tried to run it on safe mode by holding the shift button but it will turn off seconds after I let go of the shift button. I am able to access the desktop and use it while holding the shift button the whole time. It's a bit slower than before but I figured maybe it's because of holding down shift button.
I went to the Apple Store to have them look at my mac and I was told it's a failed hard disk. I wasn't told why he was able to conclude that a failed hard disk is causing the problem, I was just told to get a replacement. But the thing is when I ran Disk Utility it says, "disk appears to be okay." So I also feel like it's possible it's not a hard disk issue because it's also the first time it happened. My mac was working perfectly fine before all this.
Do you know anything else that could cause this problem? Were you able to find out what's wrong?
Thanks.

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.
