Mac Book Pro Battery Not Charging

I have a 2.2 Ghz 17' MBP running snow leopard. My battery is refusing to charge. While on standby power the battery seems to charge to 100%. but when in use appears to discharge quickly even with the mag safe attached. Mag safe lights show green then orange as the battery discharges and the battery icon shows the mains connector and the words (not charging) next to it. The icon rollover shows "Battery is not charging. Power Source : Power adapter". The battery info in profiler is below.

  • Mac book pro is not charging fully. any USB i use is disengaged by the computer as 'it uses to much power'. Can anyone help me please

    My Mac book Pro seems to have a power problem. I have used a telstra prepaid USB for 18 months as broadband. It has been great.
    Yesterday, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
    Sometimes later, I got a message that the USB ( telstra broadband toogle) had been disabled because it was drawing too much power from the computer and could cause damage.
    I trashed Mozilla to see if that would fix the problem - it didn't.
    I tried a second USB and got the same message.
    I notice that the power % to my computer is slowly dimishing, even though I have the computer plugged in.
    Looks like I have a reasonable problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to sort out the problem please?

    Running loud and hot does not mean you should worry about malware. By itself, this just means that the machine is generating a lot of heat (perhaps because some process is using a lot of processor time) or isn't cooling properly (perhaps because the vents in the hinge are clogged or blocked).
    However, you say you couldn't turn the machine off. What specifically happens when you try? Does the power key simply not respond, or does the machine try to shut down and fail? What error messages are given, if any?
    Regarding Ogelthorpe's suggestion to hold the power button for 10 seconds, note that that should not be used for shutting down routinely. That is only for cases where your machine has crashed completely and cannot be rebooted normally, so it needs to be forced to shut down. Forcing your machine to shut down can corrupt files on the hard drive that were in the process of being written when the rug got yanked out from under them, thus the reason not to do it except when absolutely necessary.

  • Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power

    Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power although battery at 98% need to connect charger. When started date and time incorrect, comes up as 1st Jan 2012.

    What is the exact model of your MBP?  The date change often is an indication of power loss to the MBP, such as disconnecting the battery.
    If the SMC reset does not solve the situation, post this from your MBP:
    Make certain that the power adapter is connected.
    Ciao.

  • My Mac Book Pro will not power on

    My Mac Book Pro will not (boot-up) power on.
    What should I do?

    Do you have the power adapter connected?  Does it display a light, amber or green? 
    Have you checked the battery charge level by pressing the exterior battery level button?
    Try a SMC reset:

  • 17 inch MAC book pro will not boot up

    My 17 inch MAC Book Pro will not power/boot up.  The battery is charged and it displays a green light on the power adapter.  However, it will not boot up.

    Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it doesn't work, probably there's a logic board problem, so it's possible that you need a new logic board. Take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

    There is a US$10 adapter from old power adapter to new MacBook Pro.

    The MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter allows you to use the MagSafe connector on your LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter to charge your MagSafe 2-equipped Mac computer.
    For battery life, check the latest Software Update for the fix for most problems.

    You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:

    Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard.  I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up. 

  • My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off

    My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.

    It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
    Good luck,

  • Itunes in my mac and itunes in my mac book pro do not share the same number of songs, isn't icloud and match supposed to solve that problem?

    My itunes library in my mac and mac book pro are not the same, depending on which machine I loaded the music on.  Isn't icloud and match supposed to solve that problem?

  • I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

  • My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

    My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
    That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html

  • My Mac Book pro does not recognise the wi-fi net. How to fix it?

    My Mac Book Pro does not recognise properly the Wi-Fi net at home. I've tried many ways in "preferences", but it realy does not work. When connected in the Ethernet port, it works perfectly.
    Don't have any problems with other computers at home.

    I don't know what you mean by "doing new concessions on DHCP"!!???  Have you tried using a static IP address to see if it works that way?  Have you restricted the range of DHCP addresses available at your router?  If you have maybe the other computers have used up the available range.  Suggest you try a static IP address first, then we'll take it from there.
