Battery shows as having charge in System Profiler yet will not run from bat

My MacBook is about a year and half old. My battery just started doing this a few days ago. It shows as not charging. Checking the battery shows that it has 85% power left (this was 86% the day it started). The magsafe connector stays green. The MacBook will not run without the power connected.
I am not sure if this is an issue with the battery, the batteries connector, or with my MacBook. I'm pretty tight fro cash right now and need my MacBook working. I don't have money to throw at parts I don't need. If anyone has experienced this issue before and has any insight please let me know. I'm a starving web programmer and I need to be able to bring my MacBook with me to meet with clients.
Thanks,
Steven

Do you think it is software. It will not even boot when the power is not connected. I was thinking it was a problems with ACPI in the EFI BIOS. The strange thing is just a moment ago the magsafe went orange and the power states calculating. This is the first time I've seen the magsafe orange since this started four days ago. I came back to this thread to update it with this little tidbit and saw your reply.
This is my current power information from system profiler:

Computer Recognizes iSight in System Profiler, but will not work

So I have a black MacBook and everything works fine except for the built-in iSight. I have tried reseting my computer and even did a factory restore, but to no avail. When I checked the system profiler, it recognizes my iSight. Here is what it says under the USB Device Tree:
Built-in iSight:
Product ID: 0x8501
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
Version: 1.89
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Micron
Location ID: 0xfd400000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 100
When I open iChat or PhotoBooth, the green camera comes on but it displays only black. Obviously the computer knows that I have an iSight camera, but it just will not work. Is there something I can do, or is my camera just broken? Please help me out.

So Welcome to Discussions, jwellie
(0) Have you tried all relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 ? Did you test iChat and Photo Booth in a new test user account? If you need help creating a test account, see this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
(1) You post that you "tried reseting my computer". If that means you doubt whether you properly reset your PMU (SMC) per this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
print out the instructions appropriate to you model, study them carefully, and perform the reset again.
(2) Did you disconnect all AV devices (examples: eYeTV, iPods, scanners, etc.) before your tests? If you installed non-Apple software with any of those AV items, have you uninstalled the software IAW the supplier's instructions?
(3) When you did your "factory restore", did you zero (securely erase) your disk before installing the factory software? One zero write is sufficient to be certain there is nothing left on your startup disk that may be causing your problem. If you need help with the procedure, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/11.5/en/7090.html
Zeroing the disk will take a long time (hours, depending on the size of your drive), so plan some time.
(4) After zeroing the disk and a "factory restore", did you test iChat and Photo Booth before you added any non-Apple software items? This test will assure that you have not added some third-party item that is causing your problem.

I'm trying to run a scheduled task as system, but it will not run my powershell script

I have a powershell script I created that uses credentials within the script to connect to a network resource to copy files every night. It works fine if I just run the script manually. but I need to run this as a scheduled task, preferably as system. I
have checked "run with highest privileges" still no luck.
If I change the user to my account it works fine, but I need it to work without the use of my account. Is this some kind of security policy problem or what would cause this? I figure having the credentials within the script would work, but not so much.

Firefox will not open on startup and takes over system resorces. Uninstalled. When attempting to reinstall, installer will not run from website, and can not save file to HD. No error message, it just never appears.

After a system reboot, Firefox would not open. I opened the task manager, and saw that Firefox was using alot of memory, and was using 50% of the CPU. I ended the process, and restarted. The situation just repeated several time.
I uninstalled Firefox using uninstall programs from the control panel.
I then tried to run the Firefox installer from the website, it would open the download window, then the "run the install" window. After clicking "Run", the window just closes. So I attempted to just download the install file, and clicked "Save". I tried to save the file to several different locations. A download window would open, and run, but the file would not be there.
I was running 3.6.12, the current version. And that is was I tried to install. After that failed, I also tried to install the beta 4, with the same results.
No error messages have opened, and I have run scans for malware/spyware, and didn't see anything that jumped out as a problem. I am running Win Explorer right now. And it is running fine, but I much prefer my Firefox.

App, will not run from other system

I use G5 10.4.3 with external (system) drive dedicated to xcode developing. Application created here runs perfectly OK, a copy of the app on internal drive runs OK. BUT boot-up on internal drive and niether copy will open ! help!

no problem,
I have always found that there was a relatively High level of expectations that ANY dev platform has for the new developer's ability to just understand how things work. The debugging vs. release target thing had me stymied for a few weeks (during which I was in panic mode), before someone in this forum understood what I was trying to say, and took pity on me. it is squirreled away somewhere in the documentation, but knowing where exactly to look when you don't know what is causing your problem... thats tough. well, at least its not as bad as MPW! as much as i loved finding out about MPW, and learning how to interface with it... it was also very scary and VERY un-mac-like. Now its just a menu option, or a Plist entry, or a checkbox in an inspector window.
Xcode = progress.

The slide show runs in "live mode" but will not run from the browser.

Here is the link to the web page http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/welldone.html
This is the first time that I've tried to use a widget and it looks good, but will not run fromthe browser.

The answer to the problem is very simple, the main images cannot be found. Please have a look at the following markup starting with line 305 or thereabouts:
      <ul id="ImageSlideShow" title="Jesse the Border Collie">
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg" title="Jesse"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjessethumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeach257x381.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeach257x381.jpg" title="Jesse and his Friend"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeachthumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-2.jpg" /></a></li>

      </ul>
Now take a closer look at the first image.
The thumbnail is jacksjessethumbnail.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjessethumbnail.jpg. Bless me, the thumnail is there. No problem here.
The main image is jacksjesse251x270.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg. Lo and behold, the image cannot be found. The problem must be here.
We can do the same analysis for each of the remaining images with the same result. This means that the main images have not been uploaded to the correct folder or that the path to the main image is incorrect.
Assuming that the path to the main image is correct, using DW, have a look in your local folder as follows
Then 1. single left click on the jackandjesse folder to highlight it, 2. click on the symchronise button, 3. make sure you have the correct selections in the Synchronize Files dialog and click on preview.
Then click on OK as per
and the files should be uploaded to the correct remote folder.

Compaq Mini 700 will neither run from, nor charge the battery

Netbook will only run from mains charger.
Original battery flat, battery icon has a red cross through it.
I tried a n new battery which is recognised as 56% charged.
No charge light and no "charging" message. Netbook shuts down when the charger lead is removed.
I have replaced the power socket as the connections looked suspect, but still no joy.
Any suggestions?
model 702EA Windows XP

OK, I guess I'm having the same problem... When the "Mini" was purchased, everything worked fine. I normally leave the "Mini" with the AC adapter plugged in on my desk. The little light by the plug on the computer is illuminated, so I'm supposing that the unit is charging. However, when I unplug the unit from the adapter, the computer shuts off, and it will not turn back on unless it is plugged into the adapter (so much for portability)... Any suggestions??

System profiler "information is not available" for PCI cards

After swapping two cards in their slots, I get the message system profiler "information is not available" for all PCI cards. Mac Pro 4 core 2.66, OS X 4.11 server. The cards are still working. I tried clearing PRAM, etc. Is this a hardware problem or just system profiler being difficult? Is there any way to tell?

That is a bit odd. Maybe try forcing kextd to run can resolve. You might be working off cached info and it is giving System Profiler a hard time. Run this command and then reboot:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
That will update the modify time of the Extensions folder and trick the system into thinking you installed new drivers. This will force an update of the kernel caches when you reboot.
Not sure it this will do it, but best I could think of.
Hope it helps.

HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Sorry for being unclear.
When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list). I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account). I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro. When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite. FCP was working fine until the upgrade. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

PB will not run on battery-RePost

Sorry, but I posted this under the battery and power section w/o a response.
A coworkers 12" PB will not run off the battery. As soon as she removes the power cord it shuts off. New working battery was purchased and used.
Any ideas?
Thanks

There are 3 components to the charging circuit: The power adapter, the battery, and the logic board (and within that the dc-in card).
When the battery is installed, what does it say about it in the system profiler (click blue apple, about this mac, more info, power)? What's the fully charged vs current capacity? Even though it's new, how many cycles are on the battery? When you push the button on the battery, how many lights light up?
You might have the person try resetting the power management unit (PMU), following directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If you know for a fact the power adapter is working, and that the battery is fully charged, then it's either a dc-in card problem (this is the card which has the plug the power adapter plugs into) or a logic board issue.
