Can adapter cause erratic charging behavior?

For months, my 15" aluminum G4 Powerbook, which otherwise works fine, started slowly losing its charge--went down to 92%, 80%, sometimes 70%, then started recharging, apparently by itself. Also, the light often showed orange at 100 or 99% and sometimes turned green when it was going down. However, the battery appears to work normally when used without the adapter.
I called Apple and was told to reset the PMU and zap the PRAM, which helped. I then bought a new Macbook, and as soon as Apple had transferred my data from the PB to the Macbook, the weird behavior suddenly disappeared.
In the last couple of days, though, it's started again--battery apparently draining for no reason, then recharging again. This time, I tried tightening the connections at various times (duckhead, extension cord head, PB plug), and doing that does seem to get the battery to start recharging. I also noticed that the base of the adapter where the cord winds around the feet, and the adapter itself in that area, seem unusually warm. But the adapter is supposed to get warm when plugged in, right?
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, did replacing the adapter fix it? (And should I buy fire insurance for my apartment?) Thanks for any advice you may have.

Here is an article on troubleshooting power adaptors:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1725
The body of the power adaptor can get warm, but it should not get too hot. If you think it is getting hot enough to possibly start a fire, you should stop using it immediately. Don't take any chances with it.
Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, you could try one of their known good adaptors and see if the weird behavior continues with it. If not, then a new power adaptor might be in order. If the weird behavior continues, then you have a different problem.
You could also get your own power adaptor evaluated.
Good luck!

Erratic charger Behavior

Hi your help is greatly appreciated.
my macbook is 6 months old and and i am having having problems with erratic charger behavior. It varies depending on screen fluctuations and automatically switches off while switching to different applications on screen, or on switching on or turning off the computer. I am having to switch off and switch on power adaptor many times before i get my mac book charged. Battery has completed 60 cycles so far. Please help. Thanks

The 1.3 update is the MacBook Pro update. You need to remove it before you can find out if anything else might be wrong. Leopard installs it.
Try these two locations for it. It will be one or the other.

Drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to empty the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should reset the SMC (System Management Controller) after doing this.
Then watch your battery and see if any of the things continue to happen.

Erratic Charger Behavior - Indicator light (thus charger) work sporadically

On my 18 mo. old Macbook, the charger (or perhaps the battery) is acting erratically in that when connected, the light often will not come on. Sometimes it works instantly, other times you have to snap it on & off 1-20x, or just wait for a while & repeat the above. Occasionally, it will illuminate for just a short period, then turn off. It likely will continue to get worse. Is this symptomatic of the defective batteries on the recall, or is this a charger problem, or something in the computer? I've checked the firmware on battery; it's 1.3, presumably the latest. All software updates have been installed as well.
Further, I've noticed that when the charge goes to about 40%, the machine just shuts off. No warning, just powers down, w/ subsequent loss of unsaved data. This may or may not be related.
Thx for the replies w/ diagnosis!

Mac Pro RAID 5 disk goes offline frequently in a random way. What can be causing this odd behavior?

Hi dudes,
I installed recently two Mac Pro RAID cards inside their corresponding Mac Pro systems. Four 2 TB Hitachi SATA disks are contained inside each system, and configured as RAID 5. Yes, the operating system is installed on this RAID 5 volume in order to get the highest performance of the array, taking advantage of the RAID 5 protection (Autodesk Smoke runs in each system; this application works only with uncompressed video in real time). I already had tested both systems keeping separated the boot disk just for the operating system, and making the RAID 5 volume just with three 2 TB disks, but the performance was slow on both systems.
The performance is now very good, but unfortunately, in both systems happens that sometimes one of the disks goes offline with no apparent reason. The RAID Utility immediately reports the failure and it is mandatory to declare as spare the disk that went offline. Then the rebuild process begins, but in the meantime, the performance goes down in a noticeable way. Sometimes it is even worse, because the disk disappears completely. Then, it is mandatory to turn off the system, and boot it up again, in order to see in the RAID Utility the missing disk, which needs to be declared as spare in order to be reintegrated into the RAID 5 volume in a slow rebuilding process.
Some important remarks: this very new Mac Pro systems do not have the iPass cable (at least apparently; I already disassembled completely one of these systems). This cable is mentioned in one Mac RAID card manual that I found over the internet. The diagrams do not match exactly with the Mac Pro nor the Mac Pro RAID board. I did not find a proper iPass connector in any of the Mac Pro RAID cards (?!). So, my guess is that currently the communication between the system and its Mac Pro RAID card is just by means of the internal bus. I think that if the iPass connection were mandatory, the RAID Utility would report it with a noticeable error message. Please advise.
I think that these Mac Pro RAID cards need a firmware upgrade, in order to be able to work fine with big SATA drives. Again, please advise.
Thanks in advance from Mexico.
Sincerely,
Martin Ponce de Leon

Hi Grant,
Thank you for your prompt response. The manual is a PDF document issued by Apple and it seems OK, but no updated to the latest Mac Pro system and Mac Pro RAID. I do not find the link where I found this manual. The systems belong to one of our customers. As far as I remember, in the printed manual included with the boards, it is not mentioned anything about the iPass cable, just about the battery cable. Do you know where can I get a PDF manual of the latest Mac Pro RAID card and the latest Mac Pro system? This client is far from our offices. So, I would prefer a PDF copy of this manual.
The drives that have gone offline, once they are back, are reported in a good status in the RAID Utility. Besides that, I have tested them in another system in our facilites, and all of them work fine. So, my guess is that the high capacity drives are not yet supported by the Mac Pro RAID card, or it requires a firmware update.
They do need to have in the same volume OS and video storage because three disks do no provide a good performance (they need also RAID 5), but four disks work fine... excepting when one disk is missing. Please advise. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Martin

If you mean the 'charge' when updating your card's details on your account then that is only temporary, your card issuer should remove it after a few days or so. It's applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If you want to remove your card's details then if you are doing it on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

Erratic charging, No full charge.

Possible warning to always use surge protection?
While running my PB off an automotive inverter and then repeatedly trying to start a vehicle. (causing the inverter to go into low voltage alarm) A week or so ago also dropped it and bent the case, making the plug not fit well and not always making full contact, It would show green when discharged and requiring a little extra push to go orange and start charging.
Replaced my battery and got a new 65w charger a couple years ago. Still barely got 2 hours use of it on the battery and prior to now barely 1 1/2 hours which might be normal for the age of it. Now maybe a 1/2 hour starting from an indicated full charge.
Now plugging it shows green and occasionally flashing orange briefly while in use, (usually only for a minute or two and tpically only for 15-30 seconds) charge rate is slower than normal, power indicator shows as charging, but isn't.
Installing the plug incomplete has the adapter showing charge orange but the charge indicator shows as on battery power and quickly shows a discharge state.
I put the unit to sleep with 45% charge and woke it up 8 hours later with the same state and it typically appears to stay at what ever charge it was at when put to sleep and not be charging unless in use.
The adapter light usually flashes orange for maybe a minute at a time when in use and gradually shows an increasing state of charge while in orange. Though sometimes still shows an increasing state of charge despite not changing to orange or not always going up immediately when it's actually showing orange charging.
When the hard drive is spinning up and other use also has the adapter light showing charge and charge state stays the same when showing green, so it appears I'm only charging for brief times. It might start showing an orange charge when the screen saver kicks in and for about 15-30 seconds when closing the lid.
When it eventually gets to an indicated full charge it turns out I only have a 20-30 minutes of use and typical shutting down despite showing indications of over 50% capacity.
Reset the PMU and restated, ran the utility, Figuring if it still works resetting should make it work properly, but it not making any difference. My cd/dvd drive also failed, so I can't run the hardware test.
Any clues as to what the problem is, Requiring replacement of part or all the charging circuit components?
I also developed hard drive noises after dropping it a few weeks ago, but this charging problem didn't started till my vehicle starting problem.
PB 12 G4 1.12 GB Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Looking in posts for different size units, others seem to have encountered similar problems.
It looks like it could be a battery problem, though in my case I'm still getting about a 1/2 hour out of it (but was getting 1 1/2 hours out of it) and it acting the battery is at the end of it's life on top of the odd orange green light function etc,
The charging problem also possibly tied to something in the PMU or logic board, or charger itself that is either damaged or worn out and the problems with incorrect battery capacity etc appears not exclusive to old units or OS's and being a bit erratic and not showing up in the hardware test. (of which I can't run due to my disc drive also not working anymore)
When I first had problems with my old battery everything went back to normal with a new battery and charger. So I'll blame it on built in defects, globalization and profit margins.
I bought a new 65w charger thinking I might get better life out of the new battery, but it didn't. (and despite extended applecare supposedly my old battery was at it's expected performance level and not replaceable for free, and the place I had it tested at claimed to get better life out it than I ever could, but was likely using newer charger)
My old 45w charger also had a frayed cord where it entered the plug and wasn't maintaining a good connection and I was getting tired of fixing it as well figuring my problems might be tied to running off inverters and a not very good plug in power source when plugged in, not getting full line voltage.
My current problem started with dropping it and it not making a good connection unless forcing it in more and later developing into erratic and incorrect charging after a few power surges. But because it still appears to work, I figured it could be a software problem, but didn't fix itself running the disc utility or restarting.
I've yet to try running the battery down again, because it appears to take so long to recharge and only recharges while using it.
Even sleeping for a 3-4 hours on the battery runs it down to 80% where it used to only lose a few points. Seeing it shut down at 60% last time, likely means I don't have very much use on the battery now and my power indicator is optimistic.

How to trouble shoot curious charger behavior

Having a power cord charging issue.
1.67 GHz PB G4 15" about 8 years old.
The origional power cord died long ago with a pop and smell of smoke.
I replaced the cord with a powerbook medic brand power adapter that has worked
with out flaw for 6 years.
The curious behavior is that when plugged into the port the PB will sometimes stop taking a charge.
Giggle the cord at the port and it will some times return. When the PB stops charging green light on adapter stays green.
How do I determine if it is the charger or the port in the computer that is faulty?

The other weak link is the barrel-shaped power jack within the Powerbook:
(this image from microdocusa.com is of a G3 Powerbook connector but is similar to the G4's)
With age and stress, the solder joints that hold the thin "legs" to the logic board can loosen and cause intermittent charging failures. If you are handy with ripping apart a PowerBook and resoldering tiny parts, that's usually the sure cure, but not one for the faint of heart.
One person I know simply inserted tiny plastic shims between his loose connector and the logic board to wedge the connector back into constant contact. Decided a low-tech approach, but it greatly extended the life of his PowerBook.

IPad won't charge using power adapter but will charge via USB

I have an iPad 1 that recently stopped charging using the power adapter. "Broken power adapter or cable" I thought and reached for a spare that I have. That didn't work either. The original power adapter however DID charge another iPad without any problems, so the problem cannot be with the adapter or cable.
Now this is the wierd bit - using the original cable plugged into my laptop I get the usual "Not charging" message but the iPad DOES charge slowly this way.
I rebooted the iPad, restarted it in recovery mode and restored the firmware, cleaned out the 30-pin connector port - all those useful bits of advice that you find on the internet but all to no avail. The iPad just will not charge using any of the many original Apple iPad charger sthat I have been able to get my hands on but will only charge on an underpowered USB port!
The 30-pin connector must work otherwise it wouldn't charge via USB. Can there be some kind of wierd internal hardware defect that might cause such behavior?
I fear that if I take a 3 year old iPad to the Apple Store they might just give me their best smile and show me the latest iPads but this old iPad works fine otherwise and I don't really want to replace it.
Anyone got any ideas?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can a MacBook Air charger charge a MacBook (white)?

Can a MacBook Air charger charge a MacBook (white)?

The power available from the MagSafe adapter intended for a MacBook/Air
likely would be insufficient for a MacBook or MacBook/Pro. They vary due
to output specification, provide inadequate power and likely could be unsat-
isfactory in performance.
While you may be able to charge the battery in a MacBook whose original
adapter was higher output than a that from a MacBook Air, you may not
be able to run the MacBook from MB/Air adapter whilst charging its battery.
Other considerations should be followed, but general specification and well
intended design for correct power to the battery and computer needs have
to be met by the power adapter.
•Intel-Based Apple notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord
•Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
•Mac notebooks: All about batteries
You should try & match the correct spec adapter, or nearest. May be of higher
output than the one originally shipped with the notebook, but check all the spec
to make sure that, too, can be a workable match and not cause undue damage.
Depending on the build model identifier of the MacBook (these, made between
2006 and 2010) the power requirements changed; however a current working
replacement Magsafe 60w adapter is available from Apple, or quality vendor such
as OWC, see example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC461LLA/
Hopefully this helps somewhat
Good luck & happy computing!

Adapter won't charge battery when MBP is on

I have a early 2007 MBP. Battery and left I/O insulator replaced last year, among other assemblies. Everything ok until last week: Symptoms are the battery is not being charged by adapter. Battery continues to act as if there is no adapter. Adapter is green so it looks it thinks the battery is fully charged. I have reseated the battery, reset the SMC, and recalibrated the battery. AC adapter charges the battery when sleeping (very slowly) or if computer is shut down, it will now sometimes recharge to a full 99% charge. I do not know if it is the adapter that is a problem (have checked for debris, dirty contacts and pushed down contacts) and/or battery.
Anyone hazard a guess before I truck this down to Apple?
Specs as follows:
Firmware Version: 0110
Hardware Version: 0500
Charge Information:
Charge remaining: 1698
Fully Charged No
Charging No
Full Charge Capacity: 5312
Health Information:
Cycle Count: 29
Condition: Good

Here's the calibration article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
You do want to calibrate a new battery, and calibrate an existing battery on a regular basis.
However, I'm not at all certain that the battery is the problem, since your battery is in good health and can be charged up to 100%. I think the problem is elsewhere. If it turns out that the power adaptor is faulty, a new battery won't solve the problem.
Here is the article on troubleshooting the Mag-Safe adaptor:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
As I understand it, the power adaptor will charge the battery until the battery has a full charge, which will show up in the menu bar as 100% or 99%. At that point, the power adaptor should stop charging. When the battery charge drops to under 95%, then the power adaptor should start charging again until the battery is fully charged. If this is not happening, then I think the problem is either with the power adaptor or the Left I/O Board.
You may want to try another SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
I don't know why your battery is staying at 100% for so long, but I might hazard a guess that maybe it was never getting fully charged. I really don't know. It would be interesting to see if it has a normal run time now.
It could be that there is an intermittent fault somewhere that is causing the charging cycle to not function properly. I think it would still be worth trying a different power adaptor on your Mac and yours on a different Mac. If you happen to have access to an Apple Store, they could help you with this. They should be able to determine where the problem actually lies.
Good luck!

Wireless adapter causing blue screen

Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected. When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen. When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine. Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error. I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

Where can I buy a charger for an ipod mini 1st generation

I believe that is a 4th gen iPod. When you say "charger," do you mean the USB docking cable? Or do mean a USB power adapter that you connect to a wall outlet to charge the iPod?
If it's the docking cable, it's the standard USB docking cable
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable
If you happen to have a Mac with a FireWire port, the 4th gen iPod actually ALSO works (better) over a FireWire connection. But you'll have to look for an old FireWire docking cable on eBay (or other online source).
If you are asking about a USB power adapter, this is the lowest power version from Apple, and it works with the 4th gen iPod.
