Brand New MacBook wont charge

Less than a week ago I bought a macbook from my schools tech shop (they are Apple certifies sellers) **and I also have a 3 year warranty on it...**, right out of box the battery says "not charging" I called today when I fianlly had time and they said something like it could be my adapter and that they could send me a brand new one, but i didnt want to go that route seeing that there would be a charge on my debit card or a hold of almost 80 dollars (in which I do not have to spend right now), but then claimed they couldn't send me anything because of my certain computer being unale to pull the battery out.. Well now the computer has died and with the adapter plugged in the computer itself will not turn on. I am extremely upset seeing as this is my first Macbook and I am having an experience like this.. especially with how much I paid for it. . What should I do?? And do you think they could fix it or replace it?

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

Use it and enjoy the computer.
If there is any problem, contact Apple.
Best.

  • My brand new MacBook pro charged last night but now won't turn on, help!

    My MacBook pro charged fully last night but now won't turn on, the green battery light is flashing but no matter how long I hold the power button it won't start. I just bought the MacBook in January.

    Well then it isn't really Brand New. Brand New kinda means you bought it yesteerday or 2-3 days ago.
    In any event youy need to take it to Apple and have them fix or replace it.
    You have a hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

  • Brand new macbook air charger suddenly won't work

    I bought a new macbook about four weeks ago. Everything is in great shape, inlcuding the charger. It suddenly didn't work yesterday. I've tried some of the troubleshooting stuff, nothing is working. Any ideas?

    Failure to wake from sleep is not normal regardless of the Energy Saver settings.
    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again?

    i have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer via firewire from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again? (this time il use time machine transfer)

    Just power off the machine(s). Shut them down. Migration Assistant gets 'stuck' sometimes - best way to migrate really isn't over Firewire, though it will certainly work, but with both machines hardwired via Ethernet to the same router. You can use a TM backup, too, of course, provided that it's recent. Which is the best? Your choice. I've done it both ways and have a preference for MA, but TM restore can be a bit faster and less quarrelsome.

    Craig.A,
    have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

  • Why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk?

    why wont my brand new macbook pro boot to an external disk?  I have the 10.7.4 on both.  The MBP came with it so I installed it onto the hard drive i have been using the same way with an older macbook pro but the new MBP does not see the startup disk.  So i installed the same version of the os onto the MBP by hooking it up to my imac as a target disk because it would not recognize the install usb stick.  Now the brand new MBP doesnt start up

    I had the same issue.  The 2012 macbook pro has a different 10.7.4 build that is not yet available for public release.  It won't boot no matter how much you try.  You need to wait for Mountain Lion and create a start up disk from ML.  Apple most likely will release a 10.7.4 update for the 2012 models, but they are focused on ML now.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • Brand new Macbook pro 15inch (not Retina) wont boot my MBP 13 inch (2011) HD

    Just bought a brand new macbook pro 15 inch, replaced the hdd with my 13 inch hdd and it wont boot. i got a Error msg. (Lion)
    - I put the new hdd in the old MBP(13 inch) and it boots fine.
    - I put back the old hdd in the MBP(13 inch) and it boots fine.
    I figured the hdd wasnt compatable with the 15inch so then i cloned the 13inch hdd onto the 15inch hoping it would work. i still got the error msg.
    so now im stuck because the 15inch wont boot from the stock hdd because it has the data from the 13inch. Very frustrating, what could be the logical reason to why it wont boot?

    That's correct. The version of Lion you have on your old disk will not boot on the new machine.
    What you should have done is make a Time Machine backup of your old drive. You still may be able to buy an enclosure for it and see if you can use Migration Assistant to migrate your apps and data, but I'm not sure that will work (works when an old drive is in another Mac and you transfer via, for instance, Firewire).
    So you'll just have to resinatll the correct version of Mountain Lion and then you can TRY to use Migration Asistant to get your data/apps from your old hard drive once it's in an enclosure (again, I'm not sure that it will actually WORK, I've never tried it).

  • Brand New Macbook Pro one of the USB wont recognize device

    Hi, I recently acquired a brand new macbook pro i5 core model for school. It was running perfect and I was so happy with my machine the last few days then suddenly last night my mouse didnt work no more. I thought it was strange so I tried the port that was closer to the power adapter and it worked in that slot. I tried plugging it into it several times again and no luck. I tried restarting my computer, no luck. I tried plugging in my Ipod nano, no luck but works in the other one. I went on here and looked for options. So then I tried resetting the Pram, and the smc, several several times, to no avail. I then even got this thing call usb prober and that didnt make it recognize it either. I am at a lost of what to do. The strange thing is though it WILL run my laptop cooler, it just will not recognize any devices?? Any help without having to go to a Genius would be great, thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your USB port may not be delivering the power it should. The best thing to do would make an appointment at the genius bar and have it evaluated. You are under warranty, and this sounds like it may be a hardware problem that Apple needs to fix for you.
    Good luck!

  • Brand new MacBook Pro Retina display wont come up at all.

    I got a brand new MacBook Pro retina display a week ago. Since yesterday, it won't come up at all. Screen stays blank, no HD sound, nothing. Does anyone else have same issue which they resolved already?

    I did call them and it seems there is no solution except sending it back to them and getting a new one.
    This is by far the most strange issue I have seen. Seems more like a hardware issue than software.
    Thanks for you suggestion though. I will post an update ones this case gets resolved.

  • I bought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid 2014, and my battery cycle count is on 2!!

    As I said on the question, a brand new MacBook Pro I bought recently which I haven't even put on charge yet already has a cycle count of 2!
    I'm just curious if this is normal and I want to make sure that I received a brand "new" one not a refurbished one.
    Did anyone else order a new laptop and have cycle charge of 2 or more and is this normal or not?

    The factory charges the battery, one cycle, they may then test that particular MacBook Pro as part of the production testing and it ends up with another cycle.  Two cycles is not something to worry about.  If you bought the unit from an Apple store or directly from Apple, it will not be a refurbished MBPr unless they specifically said it was.  They don't do things like that.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro won't turn on. What's the deal with this?

    I got the thing yesterday. Sat down with it last night and everything started up fine. I set up my account and then it was time for updates. Naturally, I said yes to the updates. They downloaded, they installed, and that was the last time my brand new MacBook Pro turned on. I've checked to see that the battery is fully charged. I've tried plugging into other outlets. I've tried removing the battery and the power cord and pressing the power button for 5 seconds. Nothing has worked. When I put my ear up to it while pressing the power button, I can hear it try to start and get about 2-3 seconds in to start up and then a click and nothing. Does anybody have any idea what the heck has happened here?

  • Brand new macbook pro 2012 (no retina display) 95% battery health with 5 cycles? is that okay?

    I know, another battery related question. I have recently bought a brand new macbook pro (no retina display), I calibrated the battery at least twice since Ive had it and it states that I am at 95% battery health with only 5 charges. Is that normal or should I bring my macbook in to be checked? Id like to get this settled before school starts in September since I depend on my macbook a great deal.
    thanks !

    Full cycle? 100%, of course.
    How you get there is another matter. It can be a battery killing full discharge that will certainly ensure a brief life. Or a leisure set of discharges down to 20%, 30% or more. When they all sum up 100%, winner! You've got a cycle!!
    Apple recommends you enjoy your Mac and don't obsess too much on battery stuff. Just exercise the electrons every so often by bringing it down to, say, 20% and charge it back up. Going all the way down to the bitter end, when the Mac forces itself to sleep is sort of ok too and won't do (too much) damage, provided you don't make it an engrained habit. We all forget the power brick occasionally and get caught out in the wild with whatever charge was left inside.

  • Brand new macbook won't start up.  Help.

    I recently received a brand new macbook as a graduation gift about 3 weeks ago. All has been absolutely fine until yesterday. I checked my email in the morning, closed the macbook and left for work. When I came home, I opened the macbook and pushed the power button. The screen flashed for a split second and remained black. No start up sound. The power light is on, battery light on the bottom says it's fully charged. When it's plugged in, the charging light is orange. Otherwise, no signs of life. I have an appointment tomorrow to meet with someone at the macstore, but I'm impatient and highly stressed and wonder what the problem is and what will be done about it.
    Thanks.

  • Im trying to transfer data from my ancient 6 year olf macbook to a brand new macbook pro.

    so i have a super old macboo, 6 years old, running 10.4.11 and just bought a brand new macbook pro. my old laptop is so old it wont support any newer operating system. when i try to run the migration software it tells me that i need to update my migration software on my old laptop. i tried this but because dont have a newer op system it wont let me download the migration upgrade. i bought a 800/400 firwire cable for the transfer, like i was told to at the apple store but i just cant seem to figure out how to make the transfer. tips?
