Do you connect the charger in the MacBook Pro battery damage if using device ?
i am sorry i not good speak english

Provided you are using the correct charger for your Mac (13" have a 65 watt charger, 15" and 17", an 85 watt charger), it has enough capacity to power the computer for normal tasks, and the leftover power can charge the battery at the same time. If you are doing something very intensive, there may not be leftover power, but the Mac will take power from the battery if needed. Once the battery is fully charged, the pilot light in the charger plug will change from orange to green and no further charge will be applied to the battery.
You can use your Mac plugged to the charger with no damage to the battery or the computer.

    For some unknown reason, the charger for my Macbook pro is not charging.  The green light that is at the connection does not turn on.  The outlet power source remains good.  Am I stuck having to buy another charger?

  • The disk image "Name Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use Try ejecting the disk image

    I upgraded my Mountain Lion two weeks ago and I've experienced number of issues since then.
    Now I have problem with the Time Machine.
    When I try to create backup I'm keep getting following message:
    "The disk image "MyName Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use
    Try ejecting the disk image"
    The problem is that Time Machine seem to be ejected, I checked this both in Finder and Disk Utility.
    Please could you possibly help me with the issue?
    I work on 2010 Macbook Pro

    Try the following:
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

  • Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected  - an internal error occurred.

    No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8. 

    My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

  • How you connect a monitor to a Macbook Pro?

    Hi guys,
    I'm interested in connecting the Dell U2312HM monitor to my late 2012, non retina version of the Macbook Pro.
    How do I do it? What are the parts that I need to buy?
    Thanks in advance!

    This monitor also has a DisplayPort connection.
    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=6099&l=en&sku=320- 2807
    You should be able to use a DisplayPort(u2312hm) to Mini DisplayPort(Mac) cable which would avoid any adapters. I'm not aware of any issues with this method, but I have not tried it yet. My u2312hm is scheduled to arrive on Friday.
    I like mono price for high quality but inexpensive cables.

  • Trying to connect Canon MD101 camera to MacBook Pro

    I am trying to connect my Canon MD101 video camera to my MacBook Pro so I can get the videos off it.
    I have connected the camera and laptop using a 9-Pin to 4-Pin firewire cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001IUM20C/ref=pe_385721_37038051_pe_217191_31005151_ 3p_M3T1_dp_1
    You can see the connections in the 2 pictures below.
    When I plug in the cable the camera does not appear in Finder or on the Desktop or anywhere that I've looked. I could succesfully connect the camera to my old laptop using a 4-Pin to 4-Pin firewire cable, but my MacBook Pro doesn't have a 4-Pin port.
    Does anyone know how I can connect my camera to my MacBook Pro? Am I using the wrong cable or is it just not possible to make this connection? The camera is quite old, bought it in 2007. Any help is appreciated!!
    Rob.

    Hi Bob. Yes, I did get it to work and I can now get my videos off the camera and onto my laptop. I use the same cable that i was talking about in the original post.
    The camera has to be plugged in to the laptop and turned on. I have my camera set to 'Play' (The power switch on the camera gives a choice of 'Play', 'Off' or 'Camera'). I then open iMovie. In iMovie I go to 'File' then 'Import Media'. A window called 'Import' should open up and then you just click the 'Import' button in the bottom right. I hope this works for you. It's pretty simple, I was just surprised that the camera doesn't appear in Finder.

  • My phone fell in water and I put it in rice and everything works but now I can't get the charger in the charging thing. Like it won't go in... What do I do?

    I had my iPhone 5c in my pocket the other day and it fell in the toilet... I was mortified. I immediately grabbed it out and ran and got a bowl of rice and stuck it in. Siri was going crazy all night cause the home button wasn't working so I turned it off for the night. When I turned it on she was working perfectly! Until today when I tried to plug in the charger. The charger just will not go in! I don't know if rice got stuck in there or what but I do not know what to do! Please give me some suggestions guys!!! Also hopefully cheap cause I don't have the money to pay for a new one lols... Thank you

    First of all, you are fortunate that everything works.  Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port.  However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is.  Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port.  Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there.  I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts.  Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible.
