Charging Status Stuck On MacBook Pro

So I had my MacBook Pro charging, and it said it was on 59%. For some reason, it had been stuck at 59% for a while. I highlighted the power readout in the menu bar, and it said 20:00 until full. I unplugged the charging cable and plugged it back in, then it read 89% full and charging.
Is this a problem with the OS or the battery?

  Resetting SMC may help.

    How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

    You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
    Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
    You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
    In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
    As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery.  It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
    Good luck and enjoy your macbook

  • Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    I searched for docs and specs but can't seem to come with anything. Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    Well, obviously you have NO faith in me or you wouldn't ask.
    Go to the Apple Store online. Search for laptop power products and look for Apple's replacement AC adaptors. One is the 60 watt model for MacBooks. The other is the 85 watt adaptor - now read this very carefully because it's in smaller, lighter print - which says for 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. Will you take Apple's word?

  • Ram stuck in MacBook Pro. HELP PLEASE

    Today I bought 8GB ram for my MacBook Pro late 2011 15 inch so I removed the previous ram that came with the MacBook Pro no problem but  when I went to go put the first Ram in I accidentally pushed it to far into the bottom and now it's stuck. What can I do to get it out!!! It's jammed in there tight and won't move i've tried pushing it away from the  back metal part but no luck. If I take it into the Genius Bar will they charge me for it I'm still under warranty It doesn't look like I have broken anything just the ram is stuck . Please help anybody !? 

    If I take it into the Genius Bar will they charge me for it
    Even if they do, it will cost you a lot less than a new logic board, which is what you'll need if you cause damage while trying to extract the DIMM's by force.

  • "Battery not Charging" on a new MacBook Pro 15''

    The battery of my new MacBook Pro 15'' is not charging when plugged in. The battery is down to 4% and the battery status bar shows "Battery not Charging".

    If this is a new MBP and you purchased it from an Apple store, you have a 14 day period in which to exchange it for a new one (or a refund).  If you purchased st from a reseller, their return policies will apply but the MBP should be fixed under the warranty provisions.

  • What appears to be a battery or charging issue with my MacBook Pro

    I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this situation... I have one of the earlier models of the MacBook Pro (Silver keyboard) and am having issues with it. It normally sits in my office and is plugged in but I took it on a business trip recently and it started acting oddly. Suddenly it didn't seem to want to hold a charge. When I had it plugged in it showed as "not charging" in the menu bar but was still running properly. It seemed the battery couldn't get past maybe 12% charge. Anyway, once I returned home it wouldn't turn on at all. The light on the mag power adapter is not on but I did see a spark when I plugged it into a socket. The battery button flashes fast for a few seconds when I push it. I'm sort of assuming that it is either the battery or the charger but any thoughts on where to start? If it is the battery shouldn't it still power on when plugged in? I have left it for a full 24 hours "charging" and so far nothing. Any help appreciated!

    I'm sure I need one anyway so I'll likely do that regardless... I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that the light on the mag adapter wouldn't be lit up if it's a battery issue so I can rule that out though

  • I just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and since then put it on 6-7 hours of charging but still my macbook pro is not 100% charged. but why? (green light is displayed on the adapter pin)

    i just brought Macbook pro(without retina display) on 15 june 2013 and when i switched it on the battery was 72 % charged and now the battery is charged to 62%, i used the charger that came with it and kept it for 6-7 hours on charging but it is not charged to 100% but why? also the green light is always on when i plug the charger with my mac book pro.Please tell me the meaning of Green light on power cord lid (mac book pro not charging or charging?) and also the other light if there like amber or any other colour.

    Hello Shailendras33,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!  Thank you for providing all the information about what is going on with the charging issue. 
    Firstly, I found some information on page 11 of the MacBook Pro User Guide about what each color of the LED means on the Power Adapter:
    When you first connect your power adapter to your MacBook Pro, an indicator light on the
    MagSafe connector starts to glow.  An amber light indicates the battery is charging.  A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    You can find the MacBook Pro User Guide here (this is not for the latest MacBook Pro, but the information about the MagSafe adapter is true for the newest model):
    MacBook Pro User Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_2011.pdf
    It sounds like you are not getting the amber light indicating your computer is charging, and you are noticing that the battery level is depleting.  I recommend resetting your System Management Controller when something like this is occurring:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Charge new ipad on macbook pro (mid 2010)

    I have a Macbook Pro MID 2010. When I connect my new ipad using MAC OS X Lion it charges normally, but when I connect it on my Windows 7, it doesn’t.
    does any of you guys know how to make it work?

    Newer mac books have USB ports that provide sufficient wattage to charge an iPad.  Very few windows laptops have high powered USB ports so they can only trickle charge an iPad when they can easily charge an iPhone. 
    It is because the iPad, as has been mentioned, needs to pull 10 watts through the charging system to do a normal charge.  This is why the iPad comes with a dedicated 10 wall charger and not the standard 2.5 watt wall charger that comes with the iPhone and iPod.
    If you need to buy an extra wall charger for your iPad for when you are on the road or to keep at work make sure it is truly iPad compatible.  I found a really nice two port charger that provides high (10 watts) capacity on one port and low (2.5 watts) on the other.  So I can charge both my iPhone and iPad at the same time without damaging my devices or the charger.

  • 60W charger for 15 inch Macbook Pro?

    Hi, it is finals time and my 85W Macbook Pro charger has just decided to quit on me. My friend is selling her 60W charger that she uses on her 13 inch Macbook Pro...can I buy it and use it on my 15 inch one?
    Thanks!

    Hi collegegirl,
    The earlier MBPs, like yours, have a separate Graphics Processing Unit that adds to the power draw when compared with the current "base model" 15" 2.53 model that comes with the 60W power supply. The newer computers also have a reduced power load in other areas, too.
    I've run my own older SantaRosa 15" on 60W power adaptors on various occasions (more by accident than deliberate decision - we have several of both varieties in the house) and nothing untoward has happened, but they are likely to heat up a little more than an 85W when used on an "85W" computer, and your battery may also be "called on" to supply extra power on occasion, even when the charger is connected.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2346 has some advice, and lists the adaptors appropriate for different MBPs.
    So, in short, though the solution probably seems appealing to you both, it is not really a good idea, I'm afraid.
    Cheers

  • Charge dropping out on MacBook Pro

    Hi all, I've got a problem with my MacBook Pro and could do with some advice. I bought it about a month ago and today I've noticed that it's started behaving a bit oddly - when it's plugged in to the mains, the LED display on the MagSafe adapter keeps switching from amber to green, then off, back to green and then to amber. This is coupled with the battery display up on the top right hand of the screen switching from showing the charging image, then showing it's on battery, then to 'Not charging' and then back again to the charging image. The power brick was starting to make some odd noises too, a very high-pitched whine and when I held it to my ear I could hear what sounded like a whirring sound.
    I tried the SMC reset to no avail and eventually shut the computer down but kept it plugged in. It seemed to charge with no problems when it was shut down, but when the laptop's both charging and being used (internet, Word, etc) it flickers between charging and not charging.
    What would you suggest, just taking it to an Apple store and seeing if getting a new adapter would make a difference?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Try a different outlet. If you get the same result with multiple outlets, then the problem isn't with the outlet.
    Make sure your power adapter is not damaged. Check the cable for frays and other damage.
         Also check to make sure you have the correct adapter. 13" Macbook Pros take the 55W adapter, 15" and 17"      Macbook Pros take the 85W adapter. If you have a lower voltage than what was included, charging can be      hindered.
    Disconnect everything from your Macbook and shut it off. While it's off, press the battery indicator button. You should see the LEDs light up. If they are green, the battery is ok. If they flash amber/red, or any other pulse, there could be a problem with the battery. There is a support article on this.
    There was also a problem identified with the new L-shaped power adapters. Install the MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4 and try.
    Cyclying the battery every 2 months or so is also helpful. Run the battery completely dead until the computer sleeps. Leave in this state for 4 hours or so. Fully charge the battery. This is also called calibrating the battery and helps expand its capacity!

  • Caps key stuck on macbook pro

    Hey there.. using a Macbook Pro 2.4 ghz 4 gb running latest OS 10.8.5
    I went to use my computer tonight and found that the caps lock is stuck.
    - I didn't spill anything on it
    - I pulled up the shift keys.. there is no grease or food or anything in there my keyboard is immaculate ( I'm a Virgo )
    - I've done a total clean install of the OS and there is still the exact same problem
    - I've gone into the keyboard settings in the system folder and tried turning the shift key off.. no solution..
    - I've contacted my Haitain neighbor ( she is a voodoo priestess ) she put a spell on it to fix it... no luck
    It will only start in safe boot mode....
    I cannot reset the permiter ram... even using an external keyboard
    I cannot run the ADT ( apple diagnostics test ) by restarting it and holding down the D key.
    There is one other problem... that is it periodically runs slowly as well.. like its in space ( when you go to click on an folder on the dock.. the folder opens super slow )
    I don't have apple care.. I know I know... dumb move !
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    John

    It's possible that it's burned out.  
    I'd try a SMC reset following these instructions:

  • Ram stuck in MacBook pro

    Hi,
    So I have to take my MacBook pro into the genius bar to get the battery replaced as it has failed. To be safe I decided that I would change the ram back to the standard 4gb that it came with as I upgraded to 8gb. I managed to remove the 8gb fine and put the 4 gb back in. I then booted up my MacBook pro to discover that only one slot was working. I then reopened my mac and pushed the top one down further as it didn't appear to be in position. I heard it then click into position as it normally would. One again I booted up my mac and only one slot of ram was working. I then reopened my mac once more but this time the ram appears to be jammed as I cannot release the top one using the clips and nothing happens. Only one slot is currently working, which is 2gb.
    Is there anything I can do to release the jammed ram. After a few searchers it appears that I am not the only person this has happens to, so it must be somewhat of a common occurrence, although it didn't happen when I first upgraded my ram.
    Also as I am going to the genius bar tomorrow would they be happy enough to fix it for me. I only ask because this is something that I have done myself, and the apple care policy does not cover accidental damage, although I'm sure it's only a case of them getting the ram out and making sure it is correctly inserted, although what would happen if it was something more serious or they will not do it?
    My MacBook pro is a mid 2010 model.
    Thanks

    I'd just ask the genius bar folks to have a go at it. It's doubtful that you damaged anything. Just take your 8GB in and ask them to install it when they replace the battery - there will likely be no charge.

  • MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down, MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down

    Hi can anyone help me? My MacBook Pro cannot charge at all (keeps showing not charging or not connected) when i am using it. only when i shut it down or let it sleep then wil it begin to charge normally. Does anyone know what to do??

    You could always try a SMC reset -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - but I don't believe that will solve your problem.
    If I were you, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem. It could be something very simple or it may be something more complex within the power management system.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
