Macbook unable to be used with out being pluged in

Hi
i own a Macbook late 2006 1.83 dou core 2
MY issue is power and battery. I had to replace the magsafe adaptor in the spring and it works great. However in the last week or so, if i want to use my macbook without being pluged in i cant. I have to leave it pluged in. When i try to start up the macbook it simply wont start up. i have to plug it in to start it up. Thus rendering the mobility of the laptop useless. And if i accidentally unplug my mac from the magsafe it shuts down. I believe the battery needs to get replaced but any other suggestions that could save me some $$. Granted though the batter has been working fine for three years and hasnt giving me any trouble untill the last week or so here is was i found in system profile
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4474
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4472
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12579
Cycle Count: 410
AC Charger Information:
Connected: Yes
Charging: No
Hardware Configuration:
UPS Installed: No
the only thing that concerns me is the 0 amperage.... the cycle count seems to be with in range.
Thanks

Your battery looks pretty healthy to me. There is the possibility that the capacity will suddenly decrease though. With the capacity numbers you have, the battery should work fine for about 3 hours. I'm not sure a new battery will help with your issue.
If you disconnect the MagSafe adapter, does the computer shut off immediately? Do you have the battery status displayed in the menu bar? If so, what does it say?
Try resetting the SMC to see if that helps any:

    Hey jestinsinclairr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • My old version mac book airdoes not start up so i tried to reinstall lion but it says its locked. how do i unloke it with out being able to start up the system.

    my old version mac book air does not start up so i tried to reinstall lion but it says its locked. how do i unlock it with out being able to start up the system.

    Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
    What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
    Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

  • X-Fi Fatal1ty IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUY WITH OUT BEING BRANDE

    Well modding the card would definitly void warrenty plus whats the problem? Do you use a clear case or something where ppl can actually see all your cards? If not why worry bout the card appearence.Now customizing the I/O dri've faceplate I can understand if hate the guy so much. As for price being alot cheaper, probably no or just a bit cheaper, the higher price for the FPS is because of the 64 megs of "X-ram" so not sure how much his name even adds to card cost. I doubt CL is gonna tell us either hehe

  • How do I acces the hard drive on my Macbook air as a target with out firewire

    My Macbook air boots to a blue screen. Can I connect to another Mac via USB or etherent to access the hard drive? I did a disk repair through the disk utility but that did not solve the start up issue.

    Clone it using Carbon Copy Cloner.  Here's the link:
    http://www.bombich.com/
    Then to move it to the MBair and boot the Air holding down the Option key between the startup tone and the Logo / pinwheel.
    The boot manager will start and then select the external drive as the boot device.
    First some qualifying questions:
    1. What OSx release is on your other Mac.
    2. What MBair do you have. 
    I want to make sure the OS you're going to clone is more recent then the OSx that your MBair originally shipped with.

  • Create forms with out being logged into planning

    This may appear as a dimb questio. Besides building an xml webform via planning, using an lcm to import the xml, or using the defutilform utility does any know of there is a way to build a web form in excel and import that to planning?
    If you have any information please respond.

    The only way you can import forms from outside planning are building the formats used for the import tools such as LCM or formdef utility, you cannot build a form in excel and send it to planning as there is no way to save the right xml or txt definition from there for the import tools.
    Some users sometimes confuse adhoc forms on a planning or essbase connection with planning forms and therefore think that they have "built a planning form" in excel when setting up adhoc, but this definition only resides in their excel sheet and there is no way to turn this into a fully fledged planning form, they are two different formats of datainput.
    However a user with adhoc designer privileges can create adhoc grids and save these definitions to make them available to others. These adhoc grids will reside on the planning server, but they should not be confused with forms as they do not have the full form functionality such as asociated rules, run on save etc.

  • How do I upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 everywhere I look I find everything but an upgrade to 10.5. I cant even hook my ipad up to the computer with out being on 10.5?

    Help

    Check first to see if your iMac meet specs.
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    512MB of memory
    DVD drive for installation
    9GB of available disk space
    If it does, backup your data first
    Purchase Leopard DVD and install
    These DVD are no longer being sold be Apple so you will have to find it else where.

  • Is a "Spare" HD "Hot" or ready to use with out me doing anything?

    Hi,
    when a single drive has the option "Spare" (see also image here: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1567/picture1xoi.png ) does it mean it is a hot spare? So if one of the drives fails it will automatically use this drive (without me being around or doing anything?
    thanks

    Yes. Any unused drive is treated as a hot spare and will automatically be used to replace a failed drive in any array on the same side of the XServe RAID.

  • Can this be used with out a internet connection?

    Can this be used without WiFi? Like be used as an external hard drive?

    You cannot plug in to the USB as many people would like to do. It can only be used as network drive.
    If the TC is not going to be part of the network.. just in bridge to the main router is fine.. then it is very hard to set two networks. It is possible but as g_wolfman has stated, it is far from great in that role.. USB drives are cheap as, faster than TC and more reliable with TM.
