Mac air not charging?

my mac air is showing its being charged with the 'plug' icon on top right hand and charging light is orange but the % charged stayed the same for over 10 hours.

plugged in you have no charge indicator?
What does the on-screen indicator read? charging? .........% of charge.....etc.
turn the unit on and unplug and re-attach the magsafe charger connector, ......do you get a light?
Yes, contact Apple for possible charger replacement and full in shop diagnostic of your Air.

Why wont my mac book not charge

All of the sudden my computer will no longer charge. I am trying to determine if the issue is my power cord which no longer provides a green charging indicator light. Or the Battery since the power indicator states "not charging". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

There are more possibilities.
- a bad contact; does it effectively charge, how is the small chargeibattery icon in the upper right side of Apple bat? does it effectively charge, even if LED is off? sometimes, LED contact may be broken, but charge goes on
- chip does not detect the computer; I have one such charger, which behaves erratically, sometimes it charges, sometimes does not; no, not a contact problem, a chip problem.
- charger damaged
- magsafe port damaged
- battery damaged
One cannot say, you must take it step by step and isolate the issue: 1. connect another charger, just go to an Apple Center or ask a friend to let you test; 2. connect another battery; 3. connect your charger to another mac etc.

Mac Air not detecting NEC Mutlisync LCD display

Mac Air is not detecting an additional display. Any ideas?

same problem w/macbook air 13" with snow leop. minidisplay to dvi acer 24" external... intermittent the external won't wake up. After much research I see others have the same problem and no answers except: 1. plug/unplug dvi, 2. reset to sleep and rewake up -
This maybe connected to the monitor not auto detecting which input is connected after wake. from what I see it's no better w/Lion or Mt Lion

IPad Air Not Charging

Hi, I just purchased a new iPad Air and I've noticed something odd happening involving the charging process. I have the 12W USB Power Adapter and lightning cable that came with it, a 10W USB Power Adapter from my old iPad 3, and 2 aftermarket lightning cables (from Amazon, not likely Apple certified).
iPad Air iOS 7.1.1:
12W+Apple cable-OK!
10W+Apple cable-OK!
12W+after market cable-"Not Charging"
10W+after market cable-"Not Charging"
(I must clarify-initially it shows charging, but if I let the iPad sleep then wake it up, that's when it says "Not Charging")
..now here is where it gets odd.. I also have an iPhone 5S on iOS 7.1.2..
iPhone 5S iOS 7.1.2
12W+Apple cable-OK!
10W+Apple cable-OK!
12W+after market cable-OK!
10W+after market cable-OK!
(no issues with the same aftermarket lightning cables tested with the iPad Air)
I know Apple has had a warning/pop-up message re: unsupported accessory, cable might not work properly, and up until now I thought that message was software/iOS based.. but now I'm experiencing a flat out lack of compatibility (not even a warning/pop-up message) and it appears to be hardware based. Both my iPad Air and iPhone are running iOS 7.1.x, yet the iPad Air refuses to charge using an aftermarket lightning cable where the iPhone 5S charges without incidence!?
Can anyone shed some light on this situation I'm describing?
Thanks!!

@Demo @Skydiver119, Thank you for your responses.. Since reading them, I started searching for '12W lightning cable'.. it's not really turning up the results I was hoping for.. I can search for 'iPad Air and lightning cable'.. but of course majority of product pages don't post specs like rated wattage, and even some claim compatibility with the iPad Air, but then you read user reviews and they state the cable does not work with the iPad Air..
I am looking for a 10'-12' cable.. I have an unopened Sharper Image 10' cable at home that has 'MFi Certified' on the box.. I will try that and see if it works with the iPad Air.. if it does, I guess I'll start looking for 'MFi Certified' 10'-12' cables.. I know monoprice has one for ~$13.
Thanks!

HELP!!! mac book not charging

ibought my mac book back in 2008 and have nothing but great things to say about it. Recently i ran into a charging problem where it just says not charging at the top. My mac is still working fine but i would like it to charge. I was wondering if it would be the charger, battery, or both? someone help me please

You'll want to provide your battery information. The process is a little different depending on whether or not you have Lion installed or not.
1) Pre-Lion: Click on the Apple logo on the top left of your display. Select "About this Mac" and then select "More Info". Scroll down the left pane and click on "Power". On the right pane, scroll down to the battery section and copy that whole section and paste it here.
2) With Lion: Click on the Apple logo on the top left of your display and select "About this Mac". You'll get a pop-up like below. Select "System Report". On the System Report, scroll down the left pane and click on "Power". On the right pane, scroll down to the battery section and copy that whole section and paste it here.

My Mac air not connecting to wi fi

My Mac air will not connect to wifi. Router ok. Desk top and iPad all connect without difficulty. Air worl in other locations. Can I delete router and reboot. If so how?

It did briefly once, but now Airport just says "scanning" all the time. I'm plugged in via ethernet usually which continues to work fine. My wireless network is also visible and working fine to my 2 iMacs, iPhone and (non Apple) laptop. No error messages, just can't see the wireless network. The network has WEP security. I tried switching it off but that didn't make any difference.

Mac Air not supporting iPhotos

Just updated ios8 on iPad and phone and both seem to have worked. Did the same on my mac air (version 10.9.5.) and now I cannot access my photos on the laptop. Message comes up saying iPhotos not supported by the mac. What have I done wrong and how do I correct it? Thanks for advice in advance.

Did the same on my mac air (version 10.9.5.) and now I cannot access my photos on the laptop. Message comes up saying iPhotos not supported by the mac
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1
WARNING: If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device.
Also it will disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

Mail on mac air not connecting with Gmail

Hello
I have a Mac Air and Mail has been working fine but stopped a couple of months ago. Same account still works fine on iPad and iPhone. I have not changed anything like passwords etc.and I can still connect with gmail via safari on this device. Looked at Connection Doctor and internet connection is fine but connection to IMAP and SMTP are saying connection failed and asking to verify username and password. That verification comes up when I first open Mail but the password is not accepted.
Has anyone else had similar problems.

My mac will not charge when plugged in

I went to plug my mac in and noticed that the green light on the charger did not show up and it says not charging in the upper right corner. My mac doesn't die so I'm assuming it is gettig power but not charging. Do I need a new charger or batt.? Thanks

Battery information is found in SYSTEM PROFILER>HARDWARE>POWER.
Sometimes the power adapter does not show the light but is still functioning. (that often the case with mine) If on the menu bar the icon shows that it is charging, your ok. If not, I jiggle the connector or snap it and that restores the connection. If neither works, make certain the the connectors are clean, both on the adapter and the MBP. Check to see if any of the posts are bent or missing.
If still no success, try another adapter if available. If that does not work, the are issues with the MBP. If it does, a new will be the answer.
Ciao.

APPLE TV doesn't find my IPAD, not may MAC AIR, not my wife's MACBOOK

I have not been able to wirelessly (wifi) connect any of our APPLE devices to APPLE TV. They don't appear in the menu. I have set my computer to the same ITUNES account of the APPLE TV, I switched off all of the devices and the APPLE TV, unsuccesfully turn on again.
But I have been able to stream photos (¿?) from my MAC AIR to APPLE TV.

If each computer uses a different ID and password in homesharing in the iTunes advanced menu, both computers cannot connect to the Apple TV, they need to be the same.
On the Apple TV under the Settings menu, select 'Computers' (5th option down and enter the same ID and password. If it says 'turn off homesharing' you have already entered an ID and password, but it might be a good idea to turn it off and check you enter exactly the same details as on both computers from the iTunes advanced menu.

My apple mac is not charging

My MacBook doesn't seem to be charging when it's plugged into the power outlet. I have tried restarting, plugging it in again and other outlets...at least 3 times each. It was working earlier today.

There are several possible causes for symptoms that affect the MagSafe
adapter; some of them include minor issues, up through wear-related ones.
•Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
An Apple Authorized Service Provider with technical test diagnostics can
check over the adapter and the MacBook/Pro itself for causes of this issue.
Also an Apple Store with Genius bar may be able to test and make a basic
preliminary diagnostic, often for free; however some repairs may be more
complex than first determined and may require other parts or service later
should the initial test not fully discover the main reason of partial failure.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
The MagSafe Board (a DC-in Board in the computer) may be defective
or just the connective ends and surfaces may be damaged or dirty. So,
in addition to battery condition and life, MagSafe adapter & cable, magnetic
ends of the cable and in-computer connection, these can contribute to a
situation where the light is dim on the charging plug, or where insufficient
power may be getting into the battery and the computer, as needed.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
You could try and see (if no damages are present to power adapter/ports)
if a System Management Controller - reset - may help, if the matter could
be based in software instead of the hardware related to power.
So, depending on the actual cause of the symptom, service may be
required; and at some point, the battery could need replacement, too.
Good luck & happy computing!

You can try an SMC reset:
Resolve power and other issues by resetting the SMCIn some situations, you may need to reset your computer's SMC. Learn how to identify these conditions and reset the SMC.
If that does not fix it, you have software on your Mac that will reveal your battery's condition. Click and hold on your Apple menu (left end of menubar) and the press your OPTION key. The top items will change from "About this Mac..." to "System Information..."
When SI opens, look in the left-hand panel under hardware and find "Power" Click it. You will see this:
Copy/paste what I've shown (ingore anything lower on the screen) into a reply to your own post here. Please omit the serial number.
From that we can get an idea if this is a software glitch or a real battery problem.
