I was on my mac when my charger stopped working. When I turned on my laptop again it was acting weird. Saying I needed to give permission for certain applications? Help!
I was about to go on my computer as it was charging. My charger stopped working (it made a popping sound) and when i turned my computer on, it was acting a little strangely. The date was wrong and I had to "allow" or "deny" several applications. Why did this happen?
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.

A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port. When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why? Obviously the device is operational. Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn? If so, is it reparable?
It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired. -
My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?
Reinstall OS X;
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
My iPhone 5 charger stopped working. It's under warranty and I want to send it back. How do I initiate that process? The website keeps sending me in circles. I'm getting an error message when I put in my serial number. Why is this so difficult?

So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

MacBook pro charger stopped working
I have a lightly used n
MacBook pro 13 inch that stopped charging today. The battery health yesterday was at 95%. The green light on the plug end of the charger is not on. Could ths 80 dollar charge already have quit working?Thanks. I was afraid of that. I tried several plugs. It seems like everything we own from apple starts breaking down just after AppleCare ends. Our apple store is really slow in northern virginia. Had an appointment this Afternoon on a iphone5 that won't charge anymore and it still took more than an hour. Get home only to find my Mac charger stopped working today one month after the warranty expired.

What's happening when i turn on my laptop it's blinking, I need to shut down or restart again. Please help!
Hello Melophage,
Thanks. Done..:)
BTW, I got another issue, hope can help me, I'm updating my OS X maverick to new one 10.9.2, while updating I need to restart my laptop to update, however i got this error message, "Install Failed! OS X could not be installed on your computer. The installer encounter an error that caused the installation fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Click Restart to restart your computerand try installing again." I did that so many times, unfortunately, nothing happens. This is the 1st time Ive ever encounter that issue while updating my Mac. Now, i cannot even go to my main menu, coz everytime I turn on my laptop it's shows the updating process and go back to failed installation. Thanks. -
When I turn on my laptop it looks as if it's updating. When it finishes loading it shuts down?
When I turn on my laptop it looks as if it's updating. When it finishes loading it shuts down?
...looks as if it's updating...
Do you mean it shows a thermometer bar, and progresses part way across the screen, then shuts off?
This is caused by a Boot Drive that has become damaged, and cannot be mounted. It is doing the equivalent of a Disk Utility (Repair Disk) before it attempts to mount the drive again.
--If it passes, it will boot up.
--If it fails, booting is impossible, so it shuts down.
You will need to boot to an alternate system drive or an Installer DVD or a Recovery_HD and attempt a Disk Utility (Repair Disk) from there.
If the damage is severe, you will need a new Drive (and an external enclosure to hold it), Install Mac OS X, and once everything is working again, then you can attempt to salvage and possibly rehabilitate your old drive. -
My laptop's charger stopped charging periodically so I went to get it checked out. They told me the Charger port was damaged and needed to be changed. I accepted and they changed it and I finally took it home. After a few days my original charger stopped working and I took my laptop back to the store where they had supposedly fixed it and told me that the charger was now the problem and should buy a new one. I finally bought a new original one and now it has stopped working again. What do I do? I don't know what the source of the problem is. I also tried it in a new power source and the problem persisted.
What model MBP do you have?
An new Apple charger comes with a warranty. If it has failed, you should receive a replacement.
Have you tried a SMC reset?

Charger stopped working with iPod
This is not a question. This is an answer to why my iPod charger stopped working, and I hope I can help someone out there experiaincing this issue. Instead of going through all the hassle of changing cables, sources, and taking it in to the apple store, look in your iPod lightning connector slot and see if any lent from your pocket has accumulated over time. Once I cleared it out with a needle (this obviously could damage your lightning port, so be careful, and dont be stupid) it charged again without issue.
I attempted that as my first, however there was so much lent smashed and settled in there that compressed air didnt work for me. That is a good first option though.

I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.
