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?

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired
Yes, but you should consider this.
A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

Hi Folks. I cannot get into my Mac book air after downloading Lion. I do not and have never needed to use a pass word. what can I do to get back in ?
Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details. -

Can someone help me download itunes onto my desktop computer? I have Windows Vista. When I try to download itunes this is what pops up "this instillation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package." So with that said can someone please tell me what is going on I have tried everything I know?
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

My mac book pro said not charging in and on windows is said 8%
help plz
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. -
My mac book pro will not fully boot up. I have the grey background with the apple sign and the timer going round...but 20 minutes later still no desktop
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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
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 new Mac book pro will not save any of teh bookmarks I make in safari. If I make a bookmark, it will not appear until I close safari and reopen it. Then, if I shut my computer down and reopen safari, all of the bookmarks are gone. This has happend multiple times and I don't know what is going on. I would really like to use my bookmarks.
Delete the
com.apple.safari.plist
reboot and start Safari, reset your preferences, instructions are here

I have Os Lion on my mac book pro, im not a fan of this because i cant run many games, i have the disk for snow leopard my machine came with but i get a error saying "unable to unmount disc" when i try erase my hard drive i just want OS SL back any help?
many thanks Carl.You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

HT3205 My mac book pro will not turn on. The light on the battery charger is weak, barely visible.
I recently purchased an iphone 5s. After returning home form the apple store, so very excited to sync my new device, my mac book pro won't turn on.
it was last used 3 hours prier to me returning home. It won't turn on, the charger light is weak, barely visible. When I plug the charger to another device it works fine. Before I take it to be repaired I would like to get a general idea of the problem, as well as an estimated cost.A. We have no idea what the problem might be.
B. We have no ideaa what it will cost to repair it.
C. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. -
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 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:
