Battery won't fit

I'm having the oddest problem with my computer right now.
Tuesday they replaced my battery because the glue on the white battery face didn't hold and it was popping up. Today I noticed that the battery wasn't flush against the bottom. After taking the battery out I've discovered that the glue is not holding on this one either.
I thought no big deal I'll just bring it back in, I haven't done anything to cause this but now I can't get the battery to go back into the computer.
The side with the table pad refuses to go in.
Anyone have any ideas I can try before I take it in tomorrow?
TIA Rose

There should be no glue holding a battery into any model laptop. The newer unibody ones are held in by a combination of screws and overhangs. Older models had latches that would lock the battery in place. There was a little coin-like rotating device with a picture of a padlock in both the locked and unlocked state that causes a couple of small bars to be extended that then slot into the battery and hold it in place.

  • Replacement battery won't fit into my 3g touch wheel ipod

    I just changed the battery on my 3g ipod, but the 850 aMh battery that is labelled "Replacement battery for 3G ipod" is bigger than the original 700 aMh battery. I can force it in, but I don't want to break anything. Has anyone else had experienced this?

    I may have exaggerated that the difference in size between the 2 batteries is 1 cm. In order to make the new battery fit, I had to squeeze it past the lip of the surrounding panel rather than easily tuck it in as was the case with the original battery.
    It may be the wrong battery, but how come multiple sites, including this apple authorized site I bought my battery from, are advertising the same exact battery as compatible with the 3g ipod? The battery says 3g right on it. If you have replaced an ipod battery, you must have come across different capacity batteries for the 3g. I appreciate the response, but Chris, are you saying its the wrong battery because you've replaced a 3g battery yourself and came across a multitude of sellers making this fraudulent claim, or are you assuming that the difference in size automatically means that it isn't the right battery.

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • Battery won't charge

    I had my MBP for 3-4 months now. My problem is that the battery won't charge when it has more than a certain persent. If it goes red (the battery indicator on top), then it charges to 100% but before it charges to 100% the light blinks green, amber, green, amber (like the one mention a few post before mine). When its at (lets say) 85%, it won't charge, all I get is a green light from the magsafe indicator and its stuck there. The persent indicator on the screen doesnt move as well, I also check the led indicator at the bottom of the battery, one led is not lit. I did the reset the PMU as well as battery calibration it didnt help. I'm down to like ~ 4200 mAh. It has like 11 charges since I got this, age of the machine is 4 months. So I can't call apple to ask for help unless I want to pay like $56 for a week of tech support or buy the applecare (I only have 90 days of telephone support, and it ended a couple of weeks ago). Any way I can email apple or something?

    Because it says invalid. Apparently, they forgot to put a "it must start with 6N"
    The website should say (according to the apple tech):
    Identifying your battery
    The affected batteries have model number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number that begins with 6N and ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. To view the model and serial numbers located on the bottom of the battery, you must remove the battery from the computer. The battery serial number is located above the barcode. See photos below. Only batteries within the noted serial number ranges need to be exchanged.
    Edit, it says:
    One or more of your serial numbers didn't validate.
    Please check the serial number and try again. Or, in the United States, call 800-275-2273 between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. PST for further assistance. For other countries, please use our contact page to find the appropriate support number.
    So I called Apple Support.
    I read the FAQ 5-8 times.

  • Battery Won't Charge & Can't Update OSX Beyond 10.4.6

    I'm a relatively new Macbook user, so any insight would be helpful.
    Here's my plight:
    My battery won't charge, so I called AppleCare and they told me to download the latest FIRMWARE for the battery. (This is after re-setting the battery, and pressing the button located on the BACK of the battery, hoping to get the three-or-four green lights... I'm getting nothing).
    I came here and downloaded a battery fix/update - the problem is that the battery fix requires my OS to be 10.4.8.... I have 10.4.6... And I can't log onto the internet (another 'fun' issue) through my Macbook in order to download anything beyond 10.4.6....
    So, now, I downloaded 10.4.7 from the apple website, off my Windoze PC, yet when I try to load 10.4.7 on my Macbook, the set-up goes through the motions, then STOPS after I ACCEPT the terms, and tells me that I don't have a (I'm paraphrasing) proper HD to store the updated version.
    No more than two months ago I had to get a new HD (after only having my MacBook for six months) and I'm not looking to get another one...
    Since the root of my issues stem from me not being able to upgrade... Any thoughts on how to upgrade, even though I can't connect my Macbook to the net?

    I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air.  I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work.  The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything.  What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder.  So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air?  Whew!

    iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
    After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

    Good luck and you are welcome.
    Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

  • My trackpad is not working properly and my battery won't charge

    Hi guys, yesterday my macbook probably suffered electrical shock and now my trackpad is not working properly, it's a bit slow and my battery won't charge. and also ethernet port is not working but wi-fi is , can you help me please ?

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer and battery checked out.
    Best.

  • My ipod touch battery won't charge

    My ipod was out of batteries, so I charged it, but no matter how long I left it for, it wouldn't get past the 20% battery line.

    Take to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop. When a battery won't charged, it's time to replace it.

  • Pc card won't fit

    I backed up all my stuff from my old hp computer to a Toshiba 5-GB PC Card drive. I transferred most of it to my new Satellite L305 through a USB cable (I think; Properties doesn't work) but one thing doesn't work and now I find the card won't fit. It goes part way into the PC Card slot but it won't go all the way in. I tried both ways, a reasonable amount of force, ejector button in or out; it simply will not go in. Computer (from Start) won't recognize it. I'm afraid to really jam the thing in. Why won't it fit???
    Roger AC Williams

    That system has an ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slot.  I may be wrong, but I don't believe it will accomodate a PC Card. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • One hour 25 minutes won't fit on a single layer

    Hey People,
    Using Toast 7, I get the error that 1:25 min. won't fit on a single layer Verbatim. ???
    It is an export from FCE with lots of editing if that makes a difference.
    iDVD is not much use; it spits out blank disks during multiplexing stage but pretends to keep burning,
    a common problem I know but I have never been able to fix it.
    Thanks for any insight,
    Al

    Hi
    This is my notes on first part - From FC to iDVD (or Toast™)
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • Burn won't fit - is it minutes or MB's?

    I'm getting the message that my songs won't fit on one CD. There are 55 songs (actually spoken word) 1.5 hours, 482 MB. The CD is 80 min, 700 MB. Is it the minutes or the MB that is important? 482 MB should fit easily.

    Its where your burning an audio CD.
    All your songs/books are in either MP3 or AAC both being compressed formats. When a program gets ready to burn an audio CD, it has to uncompress the song(s) and burn them in a uncompressed format so a regular CD player can read it.
    So the 400 and something MB COMPRESSED files when uncompressed are MUCH larger. If you look at the blank CD or the case it came in, it will tell you how many minutes of music it can hold on average. I THINK most 700MB CDs hold 80min worth of audio
