Can I keep the magsafe power adapter plugged in to my computer from the power source at all times?

it is ok to keep it in all the time, BUT at least once a month let it run the battery down to 10-15% then do a full recharge.

What do you mean by "power surge alert"? What exactly does it say when you try to connect it? If you're talking about the message about a USB device drawing too much power, that can sometimes be caused by a bad cable or something stuck in the port. Do you have another cable you can try?

Why does my macbook only turn on when the power adapter is plugged in?

The battery life says its at 73% and climbing but whenever I unplug my power adapter the mac automatically shuts down and if I try to turn on the macbook without my power adapter plugged in, it wont turn on. How do I make it go back to where I can turn the mac on without it being plugged in? Thank you for your help!

I would try two things the first being resetting the System Management Controller:
1) If the computer is on, turn it off.
2) Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
3) Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
4) Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
5) Press the Power button to restart the computer.
If that doesn't work I would recalibrate the battery.
To calibrate the battery:
1) Plug in the MagSafe power adapter and fully charge the MacBook or MacBook Pro battery until the light on the MagSafe connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
2) Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer. You may use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
3) Disconnect the power adapter with the computer on and start using it with battery power. When the battery's charge gets low, you’ll see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
4) Continue to keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep. Save your work and close all applications when the battery's charge gets low and before the computer goes to sleep.
5) Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
6) Reconnect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged. You may use your computer during this time.

Macbook won't sleep with power adapter plugged in

Hi,
My Macbook has stopped going to sleep if the power adapter is plugged in.
I have the power adapter energy setting to sleep after 30 minutes. When I got the Macbook (about a month ago) the thing would sleep until I pressed the spacebar.
Now, the screen blanks but otherwise the Mac remains awake.
If I close the lid the Mac immediately goes to sleep.
I have reset the SMU but this didn't fix the problem. I also checked disk permissions and verified the disk in Disk Utility - all good.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
John

my MacBook has also stopped going to sleep with the power adapter plugged in or when using battery power, unless I close the lid. Did you ever figure out the problem? Did you try calling Apple Care?
thanks,
Liz

Can Macbook(2007 late) 60W MagSafe Power Adapter be used for New Macbook Air 13" ?

I just upgrade my old Macbook (2007 late) to the new Macbook Air 13" (2012 Mid).
The old Macbook have a 60W Magsafe power adaptor, it's T style.
I am wondering if this kind of old T style 60W magsafe adaptor can be used on my new Macbook Air which is using magsafe 2, if I just purchace a "magsafe to magsafe 2 converter" on the Apple Store?
Can anybody share your experience?

Thanks captfred's reply.
I go to Apple reseller to get the "Magsafe to Magsafe 2 converter" and test it with my old T-style 60W adaptor.
So far, my new Macbook Air is still working.
Hope my experience can help other user.
BTW, I don't know how to change "This helped me" to "This solved my question".
So, sorry captfred, I can't add your point.

Satellite A300 shuts down when the power adapter plug is inserted

Hi people
When i connect power cable to my toshiba sat a300, it shuts down immediatly. I can use it on battery normally without any problems.
When i boot in the safe mode, it works properly without any problem with the AC Adapter connected to the Notebook.
OS is Windows Vista
What is the reason? what i can do to solve this problem?
Thanks

I can start the Notekook with the AC Adapter plugged, but it turns off before to reach the Welcome Screen or reboot. I tried straight to install Windows 7 with a another HDD . As soon as only the installation files are loaded, the system starts again. I do not reach times the beautiful blue window, of where the actual installation can be started.
thx

Power adapter issue! Please help!

Can someone please tell me where can i find schematic of connector (connector from power supply to Powerbook)! My power adapter is working fine, but the connector is broken, so i just want to replace it, and i don`t know pin assignment! In the connector i have found small electronic board on which are contacts labeled with R, T, S and G. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem! Thanks
Powerbook G4 15"

I would like to experience some of apple's generosity! I just shelled out 400$ for the world wide apple care plan, only to find out it doesnt really cover me. To get my adapter replaced under this plan, I have to turn in my old adapter and wait 'several weeks' for the new one to arrive, in the meantime I have 1 minute left on my battery and a pile of work to finish.
Interesting to note that the apple store here in Germany has the power adapters in stock and are more than willing to sell me one, only apple wont let them replace my adapter on the spot. Outside the USA, it is optional for each shop to honor tha apple care agreement, according to the Apple phone representative - gee wish they would put that in their sales pitch. Needless to say all the shops I have contacted 'opt out' and the only service center in the city, said I need to wait 'several weeks' for a new one! The new adapter is 100$ US , talk about a rip off, and there is nothing to do except pay.
Over 300 complaints have been registered under this product in the Buy section of the website. Mine started sparking and actually started to burn my sheets - I was woken up by the odour.
I have lodged a complaint with at: https://www.cpsc.gov/incident.html (part of the recalls.gov website) I have also written to consumer reports and other agencies as well. I urge others to do the same, if not Apple will continue to sell this product.
I am upset over the adapter, over the fraudulant and shady wording of their 'worldwide' applecare plan - what person travelling for business can wait several weeks for a new part? - for the amount of money I have to dish out on a monopolised product, where I have no choices or alternatives. I had an apple laptop back in the 90s, and the power adapter gave out in the exact same place - I think that apple engineers these things to break after a set time, and knowing they are laptops, people do not have the time to wait for a new one so dish out the 80$

How to send alert when receiver JMS adapter fails? Please help!

Hi experts,
   I have the following Asynchronous scenario:
   SAP R/3 -
>IDOC----->XI>JMS--->BizTalk.
   I am sending IDOC from a given SAP R/3 system to XI. XI then sends the same to BizTalk via JMS adapter. In SXMB_MONI the message is successfully processed as it shows checked flag. But if I see the JMS communication channel status in runtime workbench then there it shows error saying JMS queue user id or password not found.
How to send this JMS adapter error as alert?
I also tried configuring alert rule in runtime workbench but still it does not trigger any error.
I have also verified the alert category and everything is fine with that.
What could be the problem? How can I send an alert when an Async adapter fails?
Thanks & Regards,
Gopal

Hi! GOPAL,
Once make sure whther all the below mentioned steps are configured correctly or not ok
1: First make sure whether you are working on SAP XI or PI 7.1
           a) If XI you need to create Alerts (ALert Category) in CCMS ABAP stack in the
                    Tcode. ALRTCATDEF
           b) Open the alert category/classification definition environment (transaction ALRTCATDEF).
     ensure you are in change mode.
           c) In the group box with the alert classifications, right-click All classifications to open the
                context menu, and choose Create.
           d) Under Classification, enter a name for the classification.
           e) Under Description, enter a description of the classification.
           f) Save your entries.
           g) Then go to RWB-->Go to ALERT Configuation and ADD the RULES to your alert category gor
     which created there in the abap stack.
Note Suppose if you want those ALERTS to come to your MAIL then again go to ABAP STACK and go to Tcode. ALRTCATDEF and select your alert category press FIxed Recepients and there give your SAP XI ID's then u can see those alerts in RWB-->ALERT INBOX
Suppoe if you want those to mail then ask the basis team to link your company mail or personal mail ID to your SAP ID.
2. Supppose if you are working on PI 7.1 Server.
     Only difference is creating Alert Category...Here you can create your ALERT Classification I mean
     alert caltegory in the ESR (Enterprise Service Repository )
     Software Component >S CVersion>NameSpace-->Alert Category.
     You can configure how u configure there in abap stack such as long and short text every thing
      except Fixed Receipients you need to give that recepients there only in ABAP STACK.
      what ever ALERT CATEGORY you are creating will reflect there in the ABAP STACK
     even you can Use these alerts Category in BPM --> CONTROL STEP -->Configure here in this step
You can also reach alerts like this.
NOTE Most Important point is You can also view your mails or Alerts in the T Code:: SOST.

Burnt with Macbook Pro 13" 60W Magsafe Power Adapter

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13" and unboxed it. As usual with my heavy duty devices, I decided to charge it for a day and then begin using it. As I plugged it in, the Magsafe LED flashed on. During the night, there was an issue with my electricity as the main power flickered on and off. The next morning, many of my different appliances were burnt along with my charger and my son's Macbook Pro charger. Is it really burnt or might there be an issue with the computers themselves?

well if you just bought then you should be able to return it for a refund and buy the same one again.

Your update 33.0 is not compatable with Norton antivirus and the screen only turns black when trying to open firefox. Please help

Please see question. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with no success. Chrome and Int. Exp both work fine, but nothing comes up but a black screen covering most of my monitor in Firefix.

Sorry but it is always the other way. Norton needs to update their Firefox extension to work with the new major version Release so it can tie in with their antivirus client.
The good news is that Norton as usual has a live-update patch for Firefox 33.0 which was available on October 13, the day be fore Firefox 33.0 was Released.

Hi Marlisa,
#1 Your battery should be replaced if it has actually gone through 1128 cycles. Most batteries don't last near that long.
#2 Reset the SMC

HT3371 My MacBook (2009) won't turn on, and the power adapter doesn't light up when I plug it in. What should I do?

What should I do? Help!

There's information for troubleshooting the magsafe power adapter at that link also.

Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. Please advise!

Hello,
My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on. When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound. I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works. I first thought I needed a new battery because the lights at the back are all off, but shouldn't the computer turn on once the power adapter is hooked up and the light on the Magsafe adapter shows green? I'm a computer doofus, so please be kind. Please advise! Thanks in advance.

Take it in for service.

2009 Macbook Pro's fan spin faster with power adapter plugged in?

I was playing restaurant city on facebook with macbook pro with the power adapter plugged in
( a flash game)
after a while, the fan starts to spin faster and faster and made noise, and the body of the laptop starts getting hot too.
However, when I play the game without the power adapter, the laptop stays more quiet, and the i can't hear the fan spin anymore...(which sounds good)
but what i am worrying is that, is the hardware SUPPOSED to get hot and the fan is supposed to spin faster? the reason why it is not is because the computer recognize the power adapter is not plugged in, so it forced the fan to stay at a lower rpm to conserve power? (which do harm to my hardware?)

Hi
that sounds normal to me - charging the battery produces heat, which must be removed via the fans.
They didn't run slower to conserve power, but because they weren't needed to remove the heat by=product of charging.
Flash is a real cpu burden.
