Something is wrong with my mac pro battery?
Hi guys, I'm a new mac user and just got this mac pro for less than 3 months.I seldom run my mac on battery and I always charge it when in use.
The battery indicator meter showed 100% at first, but recently it started to decrease even when I'm still charging it. The battery indicator light is always green and the indicator shows it's not charging but the percentile is not 100%. I tried to calibrate the battery once and after I recharged it the battery meter went back to 100%, but after one day or two, it started to drop from 100% to 99% then 98%....
No idea what's going on here... The mac was is basically brand new and I checked the battery status and found only 4 cycles have been done.
Is there any problem with my battery?
So confused......
Nothing to worry about. Even if you use the power cable most of the time, your MBP battery will display numbers like 100%, then 99%, etc. At 94%, you'll see the power indicator light on your cable turn amber. The MBP promptly charges to 100%.
You only need to calibrate your battery once a month.
Post here if you found this info useful, of if you have any other questions!

Please help, I think there's sth wrong with my Mac pro
I just bought my Mac pro 2 months ago. And I just got it back from repairing 2 days ago :-<.
This is how it happened, I shut it down after 2 weeks keep using and then put on sleep mode everynight when I was not using it. I shut it down before, and everything was normal until the last time, when I turn it back on , I could hear the noise which shows me that it's working, but too bad, the screen didn't show up. I brought it to the store and they said it was stuck on sleep mode. Then they fixed it, they replaced units logic board under MFG ( i have no idea what it is).
I thought it would be fine from now on , but no , something wrong happened just 10 minutes ago. The laptop ask me to update as usual, it turns my screen down, put on the updating stuff...it was loading and suddenly the screen was shut off , turn into black :| ....and there comes the noise, sound like the fire alarm ( but smaller) >"<.....then it was totally shut down by itself, I waited for 5 minute, then I push the power button. I hear the sound from the laptop again shows that it was running, for like 5 second later it turns off by itself, then turn on .....all by itself, I didn't do anything. It keep turn on, turn off like that for like 3 times.... Then the screen shows up with Apply logo and the loading bar below it. Then it was going half way then turning off ...again :|..... I wait for 2,3 minutes, still nothing happens...I turn it on again, and this time it is back to normal @@
I'm totally lost now (, please somebody tell me what happen with my Mac, I'm studying graphic design so I need it to death, but it's giving me hard time now ....And the thing is I just bought it 2 months ago , it's still new....TT_TT, what should I do now? Bring it to Apple again ( FYI, it takes me 2 hours driving to a Apple retail store) (The latest MacBook Pro just got a Firmware Update.
It came to you with some other regular software updates. The Installer for the Firmware Update is very unusual. But it does just about what you described ... restarts several times, one time a Beeping noise, one time a Progress Bar.
If your MacBook seems to be working OK now, you do not have anything to worry about. -
Hi All,
I pasted the error report info below that the most recent error brought up. My MacBook Pro will, on occasion, freeze up on me and usually turn the monitor completely black. This also happens occasionally when trying to boot up from a Standby mode, the system just never recovers and the monitor stays black. A couple times the monitor has stayed up displaying the last screen before the freeze and the system will just be frozen. The keyboard stays lit up however. I end up having to hard power down the laptop (by holding the power button for 4 seconds) and booting it back up.
I'm assuming it's a hardware issue, if the below info has any indicators as to what might actually be the problem it would be greatly appreciated if you could share that with me =)
Thanks!
Adam

Something really wrong with my Mac
The main problem is that when I turn it on it shows the apple logo and the little loading wheel under it but after letting it run for about four hours it hadn't started. To try and fix the problem I put in the Mac OS X disc and erased the operating system and re-installed it. Once I did that it ran fine again for about a week then the Mac froze and I turned it off and was stuck with the original problem again. I've repeated this process several times and keep getting the same problem. Is there any way I can get my Mac to run correctly again?
There could be several things awry, first off, did you repair permissions after reinstalling? You can use Disk Utility to check your system:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
After you have repaired the disk, use Disk Utility on your hard drive to repair permissions.
You might also want to Rum Apple Hardware Test from an install disc, boot it holding down the D key, to make sure that there is nothing wrong there.
If you don't have the iSight, open the back of the machine and check your [LEDs|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2831].

my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months. I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer. it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me. I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5
What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't. -

Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
A year ago this was news.
Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates. -
I have some thing wrong with my mac it tovi or something
i have something wrong with my mac called trovi
Michael Wasley's link (wikidot) is as accurate as any I can find.
It's still wise to check with the vendors' websites for compliance.
Biggest source of problems seems to be printer and scanner drivers.
Appleworks 6.2.9 works fine in SL under Rosetta (note; Rosetta is installed by default in Leopard - in SL you may have to select it from the optional installations).
Check particularly with Adobe products; some you'd think should work ok suddenly don't. -
Something is seriously wrong with my mac but I don't know what help me!
Problem: i have a 2011 mac book pro & recently since last month its been randomly freezing (sometimes the screen will just go blue or black or everything including the mouse will stop moving or its a kernel alert) this can happen when i try to open a program or just at random. when I try to turn it back on after I see the apple it stays at white screen and the fan starts blowing hard. after this happens i have to repeatedly turn it on and off just to get past the white screen after i do that. sometimes everything seems fine for a few hours works good everything. but sometimes it freezes & or gets stuck at white screen....
Things Ive done so far: After I called apple we did a few things..... we tried safe mode, we tried repairing the disk and disk permissions, moving to a new user, erasing cache, hardware test, removing certain apps, using specific key board commands to get past the white screen, reinstalling OSX, checking the ram and disk space....
and after all of this THESE ISSUES ARE STILL HERE! whats wrong with my mac anyone know how i can fix it?Welcome to the club, my friend.

Hey
I purchased a crucial 256 m4 ssd. it was not working stable at all on my mbp mid 09 15'' 2,53. lags, freeze, read and write speed around 37 mb/s. Crucial said i should try in an other mac and I did a 13'' mbp from mid 10. same specs as mine mbp. It is working awesome there.
The question is that is wrong with my mac?
cause obviously there is something wrong, everything is and were up to date. including EFI, trim, sms, pram.
should i file a claim, (pruchased the mac last year and have 10 months left to do so accroding to the EU law)SMC Reset - check http://www.apple.com/support/macpro

What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi
What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi
Hello Alex,
It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
