  • "Not Charging" even though light is green

    My MacBook Air just stopped charging. The power is connected, and is showing a green light but the icon in OS X shows "Not Charging". It will only run off AC power. I have tried resetting the PRAM multiple times and restarted a bunch of times as well.
    I'd hate to have to take this in to the Apple Store, but do you guys have any ideas I could try before taking it in? Thanks in advance!

    Yeah, there's definitely something wrong than I am afraid to say.
    With ours, when it says 'not charging' it DOES power the system fine (i.e. does not discharge the battery!) and the battery does keep charge.
    It looks like a call to AppleCare or the AppleStore is in order; they should replace your battery!
    cheers

  • My sons macbook 13 when I plug in to charge battery wont charge even after I bought new adaptor pug

    how to fix my sons battery  wont charge in fact when you plug it in . The macbook does not show it is plugged in.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem.  I even got a new plug adaptor.  and It does not even show that it is plugged in, this is a brand new issue.  Anyone have an answer to fix this.

    Try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out.
    Also inspect your power port to see if dirt has accumulated.
    Have a look at the link below and see if it applies to you.

  • Battery wont charge even with new battery

    Tries two diferent maglink chargers...light stays green, battery remains at 0% .....despite a new battery. Tried most things. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
    Best of luck.

  • TS1373 I have an ipod model A1099 and i cant get it to restart. I keep getting the sad face icon and the battery wont charge even tho I out a new battery in it

    I cant seem to get my ipod working even tho I put a new battery in it I keep getting the sad face icon and i cant restart it

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

  • HT1476 my iphone wont charge even if im using new battery charger

    my iphone 4 wont charge even if im using new battery charger please help me how to fix it..

    Ignore the hysteria about destroying any Apple support by taking screwdrivers and levering devices to install batteries supplied from goodness knows where to you iPhone. Apple parts are NOT available from the Internet.
    Logic: the charger is faulty. You might have covered this.
    The cable is faulty. Have you tried a different cable?
    The docking port is blocked By pocket fluff or other detritus. Have you checked this, and/ or tried to clean it out?
    The phone is faulty: refer it to Apple.

  • Iphone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....tried usb to computer and directo to wall socket. help?

    phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?

    Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

  • Battery wont charge at high loads all of a sudden?!

    ANy help here would be appriciates, asap! thanks:P
    All of a sudden, as of today, my battery wont charge when the mbp is under a high load. I thought it was just not charging (was not charging in wow) and then realised as soon as i quit, it started to charge again. SO i ran 2 yes > /dev/null to test, and all of a sudden it stopped charging and the magsafe light went to green... (at 25%) as soon as i stopped one of hte processes, abck to orange, charging... started a 2nd up, stopped charging and started to use the battery again.
    Does ANYONE have any idea what is going on? i know macbooks can't cahrge under high loads, however, im on a MBP and it has never happened until this evening. Any ideas guys? could it be the bettery somehow, actual computer short not letting it get enough power.... anything? 3 month old mbp (3rd one, first two never had a problem, nor this until tonight)
    callign apple in morning, but hoping to resolve before since the closest store is hrs away.. thanks!
    james

    Hey,
    I've actually used yes to test it ( yes > /dev/null) in console to mac the cores, its standard on all systems. They've sent em a new power supply saying it sounds like 'it isnt getting all the current' basically, which, seems rather odd. it ONLY started after the keyboard update, as if the new firmware ***** more power ot eh usb hub and it just pushed it over.. maybe my magsafe was always busted nto working properly, but it's always worked for me.. I have a feeling i'm gonna be going into the store an hr away this weekend :/
    Had a friend who has NOT ran the update try, and at full loads he still charge fine, unplugged with it running to drain battery a bit, plugged in and it went ot charge, i tried again and it goes green and wont charge at a heavy load Oh, yea, and my laptop wont go on w/o battery and plugged in.. like it's not getting the full 85w, or.. somethign is toasted on my actual laptop. CCC here i come for a drive clone tonight! heh

  • My ipod touch 2g 8gb has no battery, wont charge on my pc or on my outlet 220W, and it wont turn on.

    My ipod touch 2g 8gb has no battery, wont charge on my pc (Hp Pavilion g6 intel Pentium 2.2Ghz, 2 gb) or on my outlet 220W, and it wont turn on. What should I do?

    Hi there fCdawg123!
    I have an article here that can address this issue for you and give you some further troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    As you may note, this article was written for the iPhone, but the steps for troubleshooting will be the same for your iPod touch. This is the section that I believe will help you the most with this issue:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Battery wont charge above 82%

    I followed the calibration guide in the manual and let my MBP sleep for a over five hours before plugging the power source back in. I let it charge overnight and when i turned it on the level was only 93%. As i used it, the battery level dropped and it now hangs around 82% no matter how much i charge it. Any suggestions? Should i reset the NVRAM?

    Go to System Profiler and check the Power section under Hardware. Take a look to see what's going on. Lots of great info. I was one of the first to get the 2.16 MBPro and it's battery was DOA, even though the MPB said there was a battery and the charge percentage was 71% continually. Once the power adapter was pulled, it would die. PMU reset didn't work. All the standard tricks did not work, so I sent it back...

  • HT201272 Some songs off an album I down loaded wont play even though I have down loaded the album again. Anyone know what I can do to retrieve the missing songs?

    Some of the songs of an album I have down loaded wont play even though they appear on the play list, I have re-downloaded the album and yet still they wont play? Can anybody help?

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Hi
    I think the new battery should be tested but before doing this be sure that you use the latest BIOS
    I means either its battery issue or notebooks power supply electronic issue and before the notebooks hardware would be checked, the notebook should be tested using new good working battery.
