Installed a new battery but there is a black X on the battery icon

My battery my Early 2011 MacBook Pro was expanding so I bought a new battery and replaced it myself.
I turned my MacBook Pro on and it works, but there is a black X on the battery icon. When I check the battery information on the System Profiler, it says there is no battery installed, BUT, when I press ALT and click on the battery icon in the top right corner, it says "Condition: Normal".
Can someone tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix this?

Thank you BUT this would be for a completely different Mac. My MacBook Pro is the type where there is no removable battery on the outside. I had to open mine up to change the battery.
I bought the new battery on eBay and am going to get it resolved with the seller, and if he doesn't refund me or replace it, then I will claim the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
Hopefully someone has advice for me still.

Hi. I am reinstalling Macbook Pro OS X from the "question mark icon". During process, there is a question "select the disk where to install Mac OS X" but there is no option/selection in the box. I really need your help guys. I need it badly. :'(

If you got the question mark and you do not see any partition to install OS X to, it is not good.
Close the OS X installer by pressing the red button at the top left corner of the Install OS X window, and open Disk Utility. Then, look at the left sidebar and tell me if you see your hard drive. You should see something like this:
Do not worry if you do not see Macintosh HD or if the option with an arrow shows a different name. This is normal.
If you see it, choose it, go to the Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. You will lose everything if you do not have a backup.
If you do not see the drive, it is damaged and it has to be replaced. You can replace the hard drive of a MacBook Pro without voiding the warranty, and any 2'5" SATA hard drive is valid. If you are not an experienced user or you do not want to go inside the MacBook, take it to an Apple Store or reseller.

HT1459 Last night I was installing an itunes upgrade but there a problem . Error in the installation of the runtime c+. Now I am unable to access iTunes

I was upgrading my iTunes program last night, but there was an error in the installation. Runtime error of incorrectly installing of C+ by the program. Now I can not access my iTunes program. Is there a fix to this problem?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Bought new MBP, but there is no cd/dvd in the box

Hi,
today I bought a new MBP 15", and there is no software cd/dvd inside of the box...
there were the small "hello" book, and a screeen clean pad, but no cd...
is this normal or just a mistake?

Even if I found this unpractical in many instances, e.g. in case of erase-and-install, Apple engineering say this is the future. You are entitled to Lion, which may be re-downloaded any time you wish, You may also copy it unto an external disc or flash drive, and use it from there.

Installed trial of Premiere but there's no application to launch the program

I've checked Start > All Programs and there's no icon on my desktop. I'm using Windows XP.

Hi kathmc1404,
64 bit support is required to install Premier Pro CS6. It has not been tested on Windows Xp and is not compatible.
Please check the system requirements at : http://www.adobe.com/in/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
Make sure your machine meets the minimum requirements.

I got a lot of notices about a new version, but it would never download. Now the Firefox icon in the dock has a question mark and won't open

Firefox will not open. Using Mac 10.6.7.
Previously we got notices that we should download the new Firefox version, but it would not open--just spun its wheels.

HT3964 Installed a new battery for a Macbook 2,1 New battery not charging. Battery symbol shows (Not charging) and replace battery. Green LED on magsafe connection. Disconnection results in an instant shutdown.

I have just installed a new Battery after the old one showed (Not Charging) and when you clicked on this icon the dropdown"condition replace now". Problem now is the computer still shows the same message in the top bar (Not Charging) and the dropdown also shows "condition relace now". the magsafe show the greem LED i.e not charging, but providing power. If you disconnect the magsafe the computer powers off instantly confirming we have power. I have carried out resetting the SMC controller and still no change. Tested the standby voltage on the magsafe pins etc, all in spec. What should I do now, as I don't want to keep spending more and more. Bellow is the info from the system profiler.

Interesting, since I'm experiencing similar issues (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20098653#20098653)

That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?

I own a Mac. I want to install some new programms but itunes wants me to agree with some conditions. I WILL not agree to those conditions.

I own a Mac. I want to install some new programms but itunes wants to upgrade itself and wants me to agree with some conditions. I WILL not agree to those conditions.
How can I install software now? The stupid screen keeps popping up that itunes wants to be updated. Going round in a circle here.

Well, if you want to use iTunes and whatever security or changes have been made with the iTunes Agreement have changed since last time, and to work with the iTunes Store....
Clone your system.
You can also turn off updates.
Are you on Lion? And already have iTunes 11? You can manaully download and go to the support page and see what changes were made and other requirements.
There is a forum for issues with itunes (but not with the software license and agreement)

Won't get juno mail messages says there are no new messages but there are.

I installed Thunderbird for my multiple email accounts. Works fine with yahoo, aol, and Gmail. But, it will not get any messages from my web based Juno account. I've double checked all the settings (pop incoming, port 995, smpt outgoing, SSL encryption, etc.) and nothing works. I keep getting a message saying there are no new messages, but there are multiple new messages in the account. It does send.
Thanks

Thunderbird connects to mail providers using the POP and IMAP mail protocols. If the provider does not support these protocols (or blocks access to them for certain customers) then Thunderbird can not work with that provider.
Have you followed these steps
To begin getting Juno email on your phone or other email program, change your Juno email settings with these simple steps:
1. Sign in to your Juno Email on the Web at webmail.juno.com
2. Click on "Options" and select "General," or click on "Settings" and select "POP Mail" under "Preferences"
3. Select "ON - POP my mail to my desktop/smartphone"
4. Click "Save" to finish

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

I had to replace both printheads about $85 a piece. It may be more cost effective to buy a new printer. Once I replaced the one printhead, the other one went out. It is common and it did solve the issue. I really like my printer and if it gets me another year or so, I think it was worth it.
