[HELP!] My charger isn't working for some reason.

Hey everyone!
I am having a problem with my charger. I can't quite clarify if it's broken or not, but I know that there is something wrong with my computer or the charger itself. As a mac user, I've gone through 2 chargers so far. I'm currently on my second one because the old one broke. I've noticed that they had the exact same issues.
Here's the story:
First, the charger would be perfectly fine for about... a month or half a month.
Then, the connecter (metal part) would start to overheat and the light that tells us when the computer is charging or full battery wouldn't work properly. Sometimes it would get all mixed up. For example, when it's 100% it's orange and when it's 88% it's green. Or sometimes it wouldn't even charge at all.
I know that some of us have the sign "Not Charging" at the upper-right hand corner of our tool bar. That would occur too, in my experience. This would probably go on for about as long as my computer or charger gives up.
Finally, I have to go down to the apple store to see what's going on with my jacked up charger.
Last time, they said that it was the charger at fault.
I have no idea if it's my charger or just my computer, but I'm a bit suspicious of my macbook's inner battery source though.
Now my laptop is doing the exact same thing now as it was before. I'm so frustrated, but I never really cared about it until now; when it doesn't work.
>:O
This computer was a hand-me-down from my mother who got this computer from my father. He payed WAY too much for this computer and I don't want to haveit damaged; internally or externally.
I still have my warrenty and I plan on checking it out at the apple store as soon as I come back from my vacation.
I'm extremely anxious about this situation because I do online schooling and I'm in an area that has no apple store. At all.
Please help me with this mess!

It is allways helpful to indicate what model MBP you have and the OSX you are using.
There is the posibility of a bad connection in the MBP.  Examine the electrical input port for dirt and debris.  also check to see if there is any discoloration of the contacts.
Open System Profiler/Information and post this from your MBP.  Please make certain that the power adapter is connected.
Ciao.

  • I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else.  I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason.  Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message?  Any ideas?

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
    Cheers,
    Owen.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    Happy New Year

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do

    Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do I fix this?

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

  • Can't remember password. Security ? (DOB) isn't correct for some reason. Email doesn't come to current email (might be old work email).  Help!

    I got my iphone & ipad many years ago.  My ipad was stolen and I had to set up a new user ID for some reason.  But all my old purchases are on my old ID.  When I try to do the reset password it gives option for security question or email.  Security question is my DOB which I obviously know but it tells me it is wrong.  When it emails me, it doesn't show up in my inbox (maybe it was my old work address when I originally set it up).  How can I get in so I can access to all the stuff I bought before my ipad was stolen?  Can I merge the two apple IDs?  Help!

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then have you checked the inbox and spam folder on that email account as well ? If you haven't (the reset email would go to your primary email address if you don't) or its not there, and you've tried requesting the reset email again, then try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset the email for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content between accounts. What you might be able to redownload will depend upon whether the items are still in your country's store (audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), and if you've moved countries since buying them. What you can redownload will show in the Purchased tabs in store apps on an iOS device, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on a computer's iTunes. Redownloading an account's past purchases may tie a device or computer to that account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

  • This program won't work for some reason

    I'm having trouble with getting this program to do what I want. It reads in a file and identifies certain parts that follow the rules I've given. The first version below is one that works. It simply prints out the string if it meets the conditions in the if statements. The second one will compile but shows no data. I know it stores the values in the arrays sortstem and sortdg becuase I put the println statement directly after the code for storing them and it worked. However, when I put it where it is now, it will not work. Any suggestions? Also, I get an error after the program runs for both versions: It says exception in thread "main" Java.lang.NullPointerException at tokens.main(tokens.java.69) (this was for the first program).

    I'm still having trouble with the println in this program. For some reason, in this section of the code, if I put System.out.println(sortstem[0]); inside the for loop, it works fine. But if I try to do it ouside of this loop, it will not work. The only thing I can think of is that the variable is only available inside the loop but I just can't figure it out. Can anyone enlighten me?

  • How do you save data into an excel file while myRIO is acquiring data? I tried saving it using "Write to file" but it doesn't work for some reason.

    I am acquiring cosine wave and a pulse wave as input and I want to store their peak to peak values into an excel file. "Write to File" is not working for it. Is there any other vi which can be used for data logging?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Ssheoran,
    Can you provide more detail when you say that the Write to File VI doesn't work? Is there an error given? Or can you just not find the file on your computer? Keep in mind using this file in a Real-Time VI on the myRIO will save files on the myRIO. You will then have to transfer to your PC. Please view the following video as a guide for saving files and transferring them to your computer: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuREWnD6Eno). Hope this helps.

    Hi Somehunk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone.
    Then restart / reset the device.
    When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
    The following articles will explain these steps in more detail:

  • CFQUERY not working for some reason

    I have the following code to authenticate a password, and it
    is successful, complete the <CFIF> Statement:
    <cfquery name="checkpass" datasource="#request.ds#">
    SELECT Count(tbl_Passwords.password) AS CPASS
    FROM tbl_Passwords
    WHERE tbl_Passwords.password='#FORM.password#';
    </cfquery>
    <cfif checkpass.CPASS GT 0>
    Do something here........
    However, it shoots right to the <CFELSE> part which
    says password cannot be authenticated. The password exists and is
    in the database, so I'm confused as to why this no longer works.
    Especially since I have not changed this code in quite some time
    and it was working fine. Please help

    If you haven't already, turn on CF debugging and see what
    query you are actually sending to the SQL server. If you're problem
    isn't obvious at first glance, paste the resulting sql code into
    query analyzer and run it there to see what happens.
    Also use <cfdump var="#checkpass#"> right after you
    </cfquery> to see what actually got returned to coldfusion.
    You may also consider removing the count() aggr function from the
    sql and letting it return rows and cfdumping those instead of just
    the count() - as this may be more telling as what's really going
    on.
