I have reset the SMC and PRAM
The charge light is orange on the magsafe charge cord.

Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
It's clear that the battery has got enough capacity to work correctly, so something happens with the MagSafe port or its charger. If you have another charger, try it, and if not, take the MacBook and the charger to an Apple Store or reseller. It's better to do this as we don't know if the problem is in the charger or in the MacBook Pro

Try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out for you - had to do that to my Macbook once and it worked for me.
Good luck.

Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
Hope this helps.

MacBook Pro battery indicator and stand-by problems

The battery indicator on the left side of my Macbook Pro shows battery empty all the time, evrn though the battery is charged. It also takes two or three minutes to stand by. Both the problem started at the same time so I think they may be related. What could be the cause of the problems?

2008 Gen Macbook Pro battery constantly drains

I have a 2008 era Macbook Pro (it's the one that's last of the aluminum keyboard generation)
Sometime in the middle of 2010, the battery started bubbling out of its encasing eventually to the point where my laptop was no longer stable. The battery also never held a charge unless plugged in.
So I replaced the battery with a new one, and it was fine for about a month or two. Then the same thing happened -- the battery doesn't hold a charge. It's at the point now where the laptop no longer powers on.
I'm worried if I simply replace the battery again that this same thing will happen again. Does anything have any ideas or thoughts on fixing this?

So you think this is related to the battery?
Yes, the battery was brand new when I bought it -- in the Apple packaging and all.

Late 2008 Unibody MacBook Pro Battery Bulging

Hi,
As of a few months ago, I noticed that my MacBook Pro felt as though no matter which surface it was on, it would never sit there straight. Upon further inspection, I have noticed that the casing which covers both the battery and hard drive is being pushed out of its ordinary position.
Taking the battery out reveals that it is beginning to swell and bulge which is causing this problem. While it isn't an enormous bulge like some I've seen on the Internet, I still consider it a safety issue and would rather not continue using it in the event it continues to develop and potentially explode.
I called Apple support today to ask them what I can do about getting it replaced. Given that I bought this machine when it first came out in late 2008 without any additional warranty, I am a few months out of warranty.
After being diverted to three different people from various departments and being put on hold for at least 45 minutes, a customer relations woman told me that Apple could not cover it. As a gesture of good will, she offered a discount coupon for my next purchase from Apple. I'm yet to receive such a coupon, but that isn't the point of this post.
I want to know if there's anything I could possibly do for Apple to replace this battery - I know it's a long shot, but I'm currently a student and I don't really have $199 lying around to replace a battery which shouldn't be preparing to explode on me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm copying my message from another thread, since this one is more "specialized".
Thanks for understanding.
Not so good news here (Croatia).
I own a late 2008 MBP unibody. Bought in December 2008, so now 5 months out of warranty.
I had the same battery bulge issue as described earlier, along with the trackpad not working problem (when I remove the battery, the trackpad works normally).
A few days ago I contacted the Apple authorised reseller and distributor for Croatia, and got the answer which can be roughly described as "Buy yourself a new battery, we can't do anything".
I was persistent and the person in the Croatian Apple Service department, after having an online chat with "someone from Apple", gave me the "case number" and said I could try contacting Apple directly (although they ARE Apple's distributor/reseller) - but still, they can't and won't do anything about replacing the battery free of charge.
Of course, I mentioned the safety issue, and I was really polite and calm - but still nothing.
Thanks to this thread, I called the Apple UK's Customer Service.
I spoke to 3 different persons there (they had a completely different approach than the Croatian ones, congrats!), tried to reach the Customer Service directly, and finally spoke to someone. But, the answer was still - we can't help you. I got the new case number, but still - nothing, no offer for the replacement battery or anything similar.
Yes, I will pay for that 1.5 hour long conversation.
When I finally asked: does this mean that Apple oficially claims that bulging "good, healthy" batteries is a normal thing to happen, I got no response.
My battery's health is GOOD, it has around 33 (yes, 33!) cycles since the machine was mostly used at home with external Cinema display/keyboard/mouse attached. When I try to put the battery back in, the trackpad is pressed from beneath so it's unusable; and I even can't close the back lid since the battery is deformed.
Yes, every time, I did mention the fact that I am a loyal Apple customer since 1992, and I own exclusively Apple computers, currently in posession of 9 Macs and 3 iPhones and responsible for many people "switching" to Apple (friends, colleagues etc). This is the FIRST time I have ever had any technical issue with an Apple product and I am really disappointed now.
The only useful information I got was from the last person over the phone in UK, and that is - that I should write a letter (not an email) to the Customer Relations - Apple Operations Europe, located in Hollyhill, Cork (Republic of Ireland).
Finally, I contacted the Service Manager from Apple Croatia, who was extremely unconcerned about the whole thing and said "You can call the newspapers, you can call whoever you want, we won't do anything until Apple says we should replace it".
So, NO battery replacement exception code.
At least not until I write that letter to Ireland.
P.S. I did, as asked from the UK's Customer Support, e-mail the System Profiler info, clear photos of the swelling battery, and iStat screenshot showing the battery's status/health. It didn't help to resolve this issue.

Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on

I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?

Try a SMC reset:

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

MacBook Pro battery: Conditioning and using

So, my question is mainly this: Is it harmful to ALWAYS leave the power cord attached and plugged in on my wonderful MacBook Pro? Or is it best to use on battery power only until it is nearly drained?
Also, does one need to condition the battery after so many hours of use?
Thanks

Most of the time my Macbook Pro (first generation) is plugged in, running on A/C power. I have done so for about 7 or 8 months when I first got it. Lately I've been using the battery as it should be used and I've noticed some minor changes with the battery and battery life. Occasionally the battery power meter would show it at only 47940 mWh (at 100%, fully charged), then when I recallibrate it, it would jump back to around 55000 as it was designed straight from the factory.
Again I would take the charger off and use it, and it would only be on a/c when it was being charged. Sometimes it fluctuates drastically, (usually once or twice a month) but a simple recallibration fixes the problem. I'm thinking the reason why it's not constant and steady is because for the first 7 or 8 months of its life it has always been running off the a/c power.
I don't know if this is irregular, it certainly doesn't bother me, but it's just an example that you can look at if you decide how to condition your battery in the future.

MacBook Pro Battery overheating and expanding

I purchased a MacBook Pro three years ago and have not had any problems with it. However, during the last month the battery has been getting very hot. And within the last week or two, the battery cover has been expanding and coming loose. I'm guessing that the battery needs to be replaced. But at the moment I don't have the funds to purchase a new one. Can I still run the laptop with the AC power connected and the battery out of the computer? Or will this hurt the laptop?

It's perfectly safe for your hardware to run without the battery. You should be aware however that should there be even the briefest interruption of power, you will lose anything you might be working on if you have not saved it.
Your MacBook will also run at nearly half its normal speed if you use it with the battery removed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2332
Regardless of the two issues raised above, you should not continue to use your machine with that battery installed. It is possible for the expanding battery to create enough upwards pressure to damage the logic board or to cause trackpad/keyboard problems.

My macbook pro switched off and wont turn back on. i tried to charge it but it still wont work. how can i get it to turn back on??

My macbook pro randomly switched off and wont turn back on. I have tried to charge it but it wont work. How can I get it to turn back on??

It's more than likely broken, a part has failed. You need to take it to a Apple store Genius Bar to be checked out and fixed. Or just buy a new Mac as to fix the one you have might be cost prohibitive. Especially if your warranty has expired.

Early macbook Pro retina 13" and 4K monitor

Hi,
Will the new macbook pro retina 13" (with Iris 6100) be able to display 3840-by-2160 resolution at 60Hz via mini display port?
On apple website it is restricted to 30hz but under HDMI port, and I couldn't find any verified answer to what will happen on with mini display port?
(the display is samsung U28D590D - but it doesnt really matter I guess)
Thanks!

Hello RumbleFish0,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The only way for a Mac to display 4K content at 60 Hz is if it is connected to a Multi-Stream Transport display. Otherwise, it is limited to 30 Hz or 24 Hz depending on the resolution. To learn more about using 4K displays with Mac, please see the information in the article below.
