Does keeping a macbook pro plugged in even when fully charged damage the battery?

no it will not, your battery stops charging when it reaches 100%. you can verify this if you'd like to through system report - power.
once in a while however, it's best to use it under it's own power and charge it back up once it's down to 75% to keep the battery in optimal condition.

Macbook Pro suddenly turned off when fully charged and won't restart. Charger not working either coincidently

My 2 year old 13" MacbookPro suddenly turned off, presumably when the screen automatically dimmed (or went to sleep?) and now it won't turn back on. It was at 96% charge and now when I use the battery checker on the side, nothing shows up. No lights or anything. The charger doesn't seem to work either even after trying it on different outlets. This has never happened before but it has been harder to wake it from sleep in the last 6 months or so. I would have to push the On/Off button for a sec and the screen would turn back on. Also when I turn it on, the password screen is sometimes off-centered..weird.
I'm using Yosemite, the latest version..not sure what it is and can't check right now...I had to go use a PC to ask this question >_<

Try a SMC reset:

IPhone 5 keeps shutting down and needs rebooting even when fully charged?

My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down when left unattended. This requires a full reboot and this doesn't always work either. Sometimes it requires a full reboot several times. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I travelled to the UK and my phone started having this issue over there (i have turned the cellular data off). I restored my phone last night but when it asked me to set it up again, i chose for it to set up from the back up i had stored on my Mac. The problem is still presistent even though it is shutting down less often. I am going to restore it to the factory settings tonight and see if I keep getting the same issue I will take it to a Mac Genius. However if it works i will let you know

MacBook Pro won't sleep when lid is closed and battery lights won't work?

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 15" and ever since I got it, the battery indicator lights wouldn't light up (not that big of a deal) and the computer wouldn't sleep when I closed the lid.
I've reset the NVRAM/PRAM, the SMC and verified/repaired my hard disk as needed. But the computer still won't sleep when I close the lid (regardless if the machine is plugged into a charger or not). Is there a known fix for this problem? I've been searching through the forums and troubleshooting from advice that other people have suggested, but nothing seems to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This exact thing happened to me. Resetting the SMC solved all my problems. Here's a link to how to do it: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) Hope it works!

Late 2008 Macbook Pro shutting down at 94% while running on the battery

So I called Apple about this issue last week, since I tried calibrating my battery to improve it's health. And when my battery life got down to 94% or lower... my laptop just shut down. For no reason. When I called Apple, the guy I talked to before said it sounded like my battery was defective. He hooked me up to a tech guy, and when I told him what was up, he said that all the numbers on my battery sounded normal, and that he thinks that my logic board is failing. I'm not entirely sure what is up. These are the numbers I am getting now, one from iStat Pro, and the other from System Profiler:

I had my laptop plugged in all day, but I unplugged it for like, 2 seconds because the LED light on my 85w Magsafe Adaptor was out again... just from bumping it. It was at 82% battery health yesterday, and was fully charged. The battery, as well as the adaptor and laptop are a little over 2 years old. My battery health has been declining since January... it was at 86% health at the end of January, near the beginning of February... then a few weeks into February, it went down to 84%, then 81%... up to 82%, and now down to 79% health. What on earth is going on? Do I need to get a new battery along with a logic board replacement?

Software update to 10.6.8 fully?
Reinstall 10.6 only then Software update fully?
You can do that by backing up data off the machine and disconnecting, then c boot off the 10.6 disk, just reinstall OS X over the more recent copy, then reboot holding shift key down (precaution) then Software update fully to 10.6.8.
then you'll have to check all third party software to make sure it's running, some install kext (kernel extension) files into OS X which get booted out by the overwrite install method, so install those again from fresh sources.
If that doesnt' fix your issue then it's a firmware or hardware issue..
run a hardware test

For the "D" you need a internet connection previously (don't move if on wifi) and hold that D down for quite some time.

Put my macbook pro to sleep. When I opened it, the desktop window is small and I can't resize it. All applications now run in the smaller size window. Can't make it fill the screen. Just switched from windows. Thank you.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

My ipod keeps shutting off randomly even when fully charged

The past few weeks my ipod will not stay on even when fully charged. i already restored it and put the setting back to the original settings and it hasnt helped. any other suggestions?

Hi yanksfancvh,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod is not staying powered on and you have already restored it to factory settings, it likely needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Keeping Satellite C55-B901 plugged in even when battery is 100%

Hi,
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite c55-b901, and i was wondering whether it is fine to keep the laptop plugged in even after the battery is fully charged or not. Would that affect the battery's life or is it okay.
I also have a cooling pad that keeps the laptop cool.
Would you recommend i keep it plugged in, keep using it when it is 100% and only recharge when 10% and stop when 100%, or use it both ways as i like?
Thanks in advance!

Do you know the software called Battery Manager?
As far as I know its part of the Toshiba power saver and it should be preinstalled on the Toshiba notebooks. This tools helps you to handle the battery properly and to increase the battery life time.
Nevertheless, the battery should be calibrated from time to time to keep a good battery performance as well as to increase the battery life time.
To calibrate the battery, you should run the notebook at battery power until the battery would be fully empty. Then connect the AC adaptor and charge it until the battery indicator would switch to green (or blue depending on the notebook model).

HT204347 I CAN'T KEEP MY MACBOOK PRO FROM SHOWING APPLEMAIL WHEN I START UP. I HAVE GONE TO SYSTEM PREFERENCES, USERS AND GROUPS, AND THERE ARE NO LOGIN ITEMS LISTED. WHAT DO I DO?ERENCESS,

I cannot keep my computer from showing applemail mailboxes when I start up. When I go to system preferences, users and groups, login items nothing is listed. If I try listing mail and then restarting and deleting it, that does not work. What to do next?

System Preference > General
At the bottom of the section "Number of recent items"
uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

MacBook Pro won't turn on or charge or show battery indicator

Yesterday I plugged my phone into my MacBook Pro 13" using a knockoff USB cord (my charger), my phone wouldn't connect and then the screen on my MacBook just went black and it completely shut off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it on and nothing happened. I checked the battery indicator on the side and no lights came on (not even the blinking red one that tells you your macbook's dead or low battery). I plugged in my MacBook charger and it was green for a few seconds and then the light shut off. I unplugged the charger from the socket and then plugged it back into my MacBook and the light starting blinking a faint green and orange and it still would not turn on. I let it sit overnight without being plugged into the charger and today it won't connect to the charger at all and still won't turn on. Any ideas?

My macbook pro from 2006 is not getting started. The battery light is green.

All of a sudden my macbook pro refuses to get started. In trhe last weeks the sreen had been doing strange things: all of a sudden it wouyld be all stripey.
Mi macbook pro no arranca. Desde hace unos días, la pantalla en ocasiones se quedaba a rallas verticales.

Here is a link for troubleshooting the problem by ds store
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Some quotes to guide you:
If you see this hardware issue:
Distorted video, artifacts on the screen, zig zag lines (but not dots or "stuck pixels") it's likely a failing video card. "Stuck pixels" are a monitor issue as so are thin straight lines from top to bottom (the machine can continue to be used). Do #3 and #9, take the machine in for service.
3: Hardware Test
9. Backup personal data off the machine

MacBook Pro won't start up, can I transfer photos to iMac any way

My MacBook Pro will not start up after latest update, I contacted Apple Support who said I needed a thunderbolt cable, I purchased this and tried to put my photos onto someone else's IMac, iit won't work any suggestions please.

You may take out the HDD and install it into an enclosure. Then connect it to a Mac via USB and If the HDD is functional, you should be able to take the data off of it.
Ciao.
