Help mee, computer will not charge..

hello..
i just got a new power cord for my Mac. I live in the USA, but i am in Hong kong for about a month..
When i first got here, my Mac charged perfectly, and now it will not charge at all.. Why is this happening???

"There have been reports here of the new L-style adaptors not working with older MacBooks. Where did you buy this from? Can you take it back and ask for a T-style adaptor? Many Apple Stores and probably Apple phone sales can still get you one. "
The above is copied from Jay Bullock's answer on another thread.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

  • My computer will not charge or turn on

    Lost my charged and purchased a new charger for my Mac Pro retina with 15. I plug the charger and it will not charge or turn on after few hours

    You will have to take the computer and the power adapter to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    A Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
    Make use of it.
    Best.

  • Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

    My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on.  First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9).  I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

    Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Help!  Computer will not recognize my camera at all!

    Hello, everyone. This is my first post, and I am at a loss as to what to do.
    I've had my camera for over a year, and I have never had any problems before uploading pictures from my camera to my PowerBook. However, all of the sudden, last night, my computer decided it didn't want to recognize that I had my camera connected! Both iPhoto 4.0.3 and Image Capture are unaware I have my camera connected. The camera I'm using is a Kodak EasyShare Z730.
    Any suggestions as to what I should do? I've tried plugging it in a different USB port, and I've tried restarting the computer.
    Any ideas would be wonderful!
    Thanks in advance!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Can you temporarily connect some other USB device to verify that your PowerBook's USB ports are in working order? Do you have another computer to which your camera can be connected to verify that a working USB connection is being made from the camera?
    If we can somehow eliminate a hardware issue, then you can focus on software. Have you tried creating a new admin user account? If the new account recognizes your camera, it would narrow the problem down to something within your regular user account.

  • MacBook Pro will not charge, hold a charge or even turn on now.

    My charger was/is not charging my battery. I have tried other chargers that have worked for me in the past couple months when my original charger went bad but now my computer will not charge at all. The amber light shows, but I cannot turn on my computer even hours after letting it "charge."
    When I first plug the charger into my MackBook, the green light comes on for about 5 seconds and then switches to orange.
    I press the power button to see if the comupter will turn on while charging and it will not.
    What should I do from here..
    Thanks for the help!

    The MBP should work when the charger is attached (assuming the charger is functional).  Try a SMC reset:

    If that fails to bring life to the MBP, bring the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
    Ciao.

  • P10 504 will not charge and will not operate from mains

    hi
    I'm having difficulties with my P10-504. I plug my charger in the back of the unit and nothing happens. No lights come on at the front and no charging or powering of the notebook.
    I have some charge left in the battery and it shows that the computer is operating from battery power (discharging) and not AC power.
    I have checked to make sure that the charger is operational with a volt meter and it seems to be fine.
    Can any one offer a soloution for me?
    Thanks
    Adam

    Hi there
    What's the ASP?
    I've had a similar problem before, somehow the prong in the power clug snapped off in the charging cable and so the computer would only charge if the cable was held in place.
    I sent my computer to Toshiba who fixed the problem, replacing the motherboard I believe.
    I now have the problem that the cable and socket appears to be fine yet the computer will not charge.
    If I hold the cable in a certian position the light flicks on. If I find that position and leave it there within seconds the lights go out and will not come back on.

  • HT4060 My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or athrough my computer. Help!

    My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or the computer. Help!

    Here are some things to check when there is a problem charging the iPad. First use the charger that came with the iPad and connect that to a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the charging ports. Check and carefully clean with a toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
