Batterie stuck @ (83%) & Shut down if power adaptor unplugged

Because I live in Canada Vancouver BC we don't have Apple genius bars so i'll have to phone apple to send me a new batterie if thats the case. All those problems are fine now except i encountered a new problem, It will only turn on with the power adaptor plugged in and the % of the batterie charge/life stays at (83%) and if i am using my MacBook and unplug the power adaptor it shuts off and i have to plug in the Power adaptor again to restart it
My MacBook Is brand new and has encountered several problems after 4 months from perches, with power issues. I believe that it's because i "Over heat/Use" My MacBook.

Hi Appleipod_2575: Maybe check with the Apple store listed below, sounds like a battery/charging circuit issue

Powerbook shuts down when power adaptor isn't plugged

I bought my powerbook G4 about 3 years ago and I've been having alot of problem with it in the past few months (yeah I know it's old lol).
When I first got it my friend told me not to use the battery while I'm working with the laptop, instead use the power adapter by removing the battery from the laptop and use the adapter instead. I tried to do that, and it didn't work.
Even now when I tried to remove the battery and just use the adapter, it's just doesn't want to start up.
I also got this problem whenever I'm using my laptop I always have to have the adapter plugged in or else it will shut down without any warning.
I checked the battery level with the button on the battery cover, it's always on 100% charged. BUT it won't turn up unless I plug the adapter in back.
I can't afford a new macbook pro so yeah =(
thank you!

There is another battery involved: the backup battery or PRAM battery. It resides to the right and under the optical drive (see image from iFixit.com guide) and remembers startup configurations when there is no AC or main battery power connected.
My PB's backup battery is dead and, If I let the main battery run down, I have to reset the computer to get a valid restart even after reattaching the AC power adaptor. If the backup battery is dead, then what little life is left in your main battery will be doing the work to hold the system parameters when you are off AC power.
The backup battery looks like this:

It's a difficult install unless you are familiar with the inner workings of the Powerbook and how to get to them. It's also hard to find these that are new. And who wants a "Used" battery.

Virtualized servers get stuck at "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..."

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 (no service pack) server that has been virtualized last summer and since then:
- Windows Update does not download any updates (it says Cancelled for every update in the Update History)
- When I reboot the vm, it gets stuck on "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..." and I have to cold-Reset the vm to get it working again.
I tried running Windows Update Standalone Installer (Windows6.1-KB947821-v20-x64.msu) on the machine, but that gets stuck on "searching for updates"...
I tried stopping the Windows Update service but that doesn't work either, it says that the service is not responding...
I'm not sure what to try next, I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks a lot,
Guillaume

Not a question. A comment actually. Regarding the persistent blue Autofill popup in Safari. My wife first shut down the Mac then unplugged it for a few minutes. On restart, the box was gone.

Shutting Down when AC adaptor removed

I have a few small problems with my MBP since i got it in early march, a battery has been replaced (the original mysterioulsy died after 4 months), and two power adaptors with fault springs on the pins of the adaptor. My current problem is that:
After extended use with the a/c adaptor plugged in, the battery full charged and the MBP seemingly working fine if i remove the a/c adaptor with 1 second it shuts down (not sleep mode) and requires the power supply to be restored before it will restart properly, although for brief moments a whirr can be heard when the power button is pressed. The battery is charged an full, Anyone got any ideas, think i will call Apple support in the morning but starting to doubt the reliabilty of Apples power units.
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Take it to an Apple store. There was a batch of bad batteries released with the first MBPs which all seem to have this problem. Since you said that you already had your battery replaced once, I would like to think that this is something different. It does however sound exactly the same as the problem I had. Apple replaced the battery, and now all is good.

My Toshiba is stuck on shutting down screen

I have a Toshiba satellite p55t a5118 with windows 8.1 i7 8gb ram 1tb HDD. My computer is stuck on blue "shutting down" screen. And the keys are not responding. I have tried letting the computer die, there is no place for me to take out the battery, and when I press the power button it shows the Toshiba first booting screen and then straight to the shutting down screen. None of the advance booting works. I have pressed 0, f2, alt control delete.still nothing just an annoying shutdown screen. Can someone plz help me?
I am familiar with all kinds of advance boot ups but the computer won't let me get to them

Ibook G3 shuts down when power cord is inserted.

You may have to consider having the computer checked to see if
the DC-in circuit is working properly; could be that is where things
are going wrong. If you had a spare battery and an external
charger (such as some companies offer for their iBook replace-
ment batteries) you could run it for some time before needing to
do some repair, maybe.
For out of warranty repairs, you can check with Tech Restore, PB Restore
and other named companies who offer authorized/certified repairs online. I
had good service and was able to contact wegenermedia about my iBook
repairs before and after the service, which was very satisfactory.
PS: And one assumes there was a reliable power supply on the
AC adapter's power-in; and the adapter has a proper voltage out.

MacBook won't start on battery/shuts down when power adapter is removed

Help & advice needed please.
My MacBook won't start without external power, it gives a whir then a click then nothing. Once started up, if I remove the external power it just shuts off.
The battery shows at 98% & charging. Coconut Battery shows the following:
Current battery charge 4126 (& increasing as I type)
Maximum battery charge 4200
Current battery capacity 4200
Original battery capacity 5200
80%
Battery loadcycles 111
Age of your Mac 6 months
Charger connected yes
Battery is charging yes
Does anyone have a clue why the Mac won't power itself on the battery when everything else seems like it works?
Cheers!

As of today, my MacBook and I have been together for 40 days. Yesterday, while I was happily surfing (on battery), it powered down with no warning. Okay, these things happen. I plugged it in, restarted, and all seemed to be fine. Battery was about 70%. I did other things on my other machines and when it was about 90%, unplugged it and everything was good. This morning after using it unplugged for 1.5 hours it did the same thing, but decided to only work with the power adapter, not on battery alone. When trying to boot without AC, it would try to spin the CD and then fall back into off. When on AC, if I pulled the adapter, it would last two seconds and go blank. I made an appt. with the Apple store (Fashion Show Mall, Las Vegas) for 3:20pm. I got there right at 3:20pm and the monitors showed I was 5th in line. Store was fairly packed, at least one patron at every display item. Monitors also said the next MacGenius appt. was "approx. 8:30pm." Glad I made an appt! I was served about 15 min. later, during which time the monitors had changed to "No more MacGenius appts. available today, please try tomorrow." However, one guy came by without an appt. and was told he would be put on standby and to come back in 30 min.
Once I explained my issue with my MacBook battery, my Genius tried one of his batteries. "I just want to make sure it's your battery and not your motherboard." My machine worked fine, so he said "No problem, I'll have you out of here in 10 minutes." He got me a brand new battery, tested it, and put my old one in a box on the rear counter with four others. He pulled the serial number from the "About this Mac" area, didn't need my receipt for purchase date or anything. I had even printed this page: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/ to use as ammunition, but didn't need it. He did approve highly of my dashboard widget "iStat pro", available here: http://islayer.com/.
So the battery issue is a very common problem, and one that Apple has tried to deal with as painlessly as possible for the consumer. My Genius did ask if the battery showed an "X" in the icon bar, and I said no. Just wouldn't run on battery. On the way out of the store, one of the 3 MacBooks, in fact the one closest to the door, had an "X" on the battery icon. When I unplugged the power, it shut down immediately! The moral of the story is to contact Apple immediately with problems and give them a chance to fix them. Hope this helps others.

Finder gets stuck, and shuts down my wifi connection. Anyone has experienced this same problem?

While working on my website, I have Safari and Finder opened.
Happened three times today. Finder, while moving (by dragging) a file from one window to another, gets stuck.
At the same time, the wifi connection shuts down, and only after I force restart for finder, I get the wifi to work again.
That's quite weird... is't it?
I have two USB 3.0 HD connected, and 3 Firewire ones connected to the thunderbolt inlet.
Can you help me understand the problem? it happens just randomly.
Thanks!

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Shut Down and Power Off

I am about to change to a 27" i7 mac from my current PC and have a shut down question.
My computer is plugged in to an energy saver adaptor plug. With this plug you have your computer in one sockets and you power strip for other peripheral in another socket on the adaptor. When you turn of the computer it detect the power drop and COMPLETELY turn of all power to the adaptor, thus ensuring everything else is off too (Printer, Speakers, Scanner and so-on) including the computer.
Will this be a problem when using it with an iMAC

I imagine that the adapter should work the same with the iMac. If you turn the iMac off, the adapter should perceive the same drop in demand for electricity and cut the power to the other devices.
However, many folks do not turn off their iMac, they merely put it to sleep. This sleep mode is very low in power consumption, but saves wear & tear on the iMac's hardware. Since the iMac draws very little power in sleep mode the adapter should perceive a similar drop in power demand and cut the power to the other devices, but you can only know that for sure by experimenting.

Satellite L40 won't shut down with power connected, and won't go in standby

Hi everybody. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with shutting the laptop (Satellite L40-17U (Vista 32-bit Home Premium SP1) ) down when the power is connected, and one with closing the lid and putting it to sleep.
1. Since a few weeks, it suddenly doesn't want to shut down, whenever the power is connected. When it is on battery, it will shut down. When the power is connected and I try shutting it down, it seems like it shuts down (all activity ceases and the LEDs go off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then it goes back on.
2. When I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in 'sleep' status when the lid is closed) the laptop goes into a state from which it can only be recovered by shutting it down by pressing the on/off button for about 10 seconds to completely shut it down. When closing the lid, only the battery LED keeps blinking orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I reboot it later (first having to shut it down as described above) the battery tends to be quite a emptier than it was before rebooting it (like going from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes, while being in 'sleep' state). Also, when I open the lid, the other LEDs do go on again (green), but nothing happens.
After rebooting by first pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds to shut it down, I frequently get a message that Windows could not be started, and have to run System Repair.
I've just done a completely clean installation with the product recovery CD (didn't install SP1 yet), upgraded the BIOS to v1.90, but the problem remains.
I'm afraid my only option will be to bring it away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd prefer to try a solution anyone here could recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Daniel Breslauer

Hi guys
Never had such issue on my notebook but regarding to another users here in the forum the BIOS might help to solve such strange notebook behavior
To be honest the shut down issue is not known to me I noticed an standby issue on my notebook but the BIOS update helped.
Therefore I recommend updating the BIOS firstly.
If the issue will still appear, then the ASP should take a look into the notebook.
Good luck

Macbook Air 13 shuts down if power cord isn't connect

My new (apr 2012) mb air 13 has randomly started shutting down if the power cord is not connected...At first, it was just randomly shutting down every 5-10mins, rebooting, and then shutting down again. I updated the software, and now - when plug into power - seems to work ok. However, if it is not connected to the power cord, it shuts down almost instantly.
Has anyone had this issue? Can anyone help? Thanks a million to anyone who can through their hat in the ring on this one...

Seems like your battery is on it's last legs.
Or, it could be that there is a loose connection somewhere between the battery and your logic board. This I highly doubt since you're getting a "Service Battery" notice.
To be sure, take it to the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Dealer/Service Center to be sure.
Click on the apple logo on your top left corner, about this mac, more info, system report and under power, see what it says about your battery.
You'll then know if your battery is dead.
