Mac won't stay running, no internet? PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I have a 13" macbook pro.bought it refurbished and it was perfect- in january i brought it into a mac & pc repair shop since it was running a little slow and refused to burn CD's.
The problem they said was the operating system and the battery, so they reinstalled the operating system with an upgrade and the battery but now the laptop isnt running properly at all! ive never seen it so bad.
When it starts up it doesnt remember date & time, or network preferences. the battery condition says "replace" and when it does remember networks it wont connect as it says it doesnt have an IP address or has a self assigned IP address most of the time. and now wont stay powered on without the AC charger being plugged in even though its says its fully charged. The guarantee on the repair that i paid for isnt valid anymore.
how can i fix this? ive already reset the PRAM by holding down cmd,alt,P,R al at the same time as the computer starts up but hasn't helped.
These are the power stats.:

You might try a SMC reset:

However I suspect you have some hardware issues that can best be addressed at an Apple store genius bar.

  • Removed System Library files, Mac won't boot up!? Please help!

    Ok so I moved to trash the Library folder from the Systems folder. I only had like 15 mb left on my iBook so I was trying to remove files. But then I thought it might be a bad idea to delete the library folder so I tried to drag it from the trash but it wouldn't let me. And then my computer started going really slow so I rebooted, but a error message came up and it said something like "we are hanging here" now when ever I try to reboot it shows that message. I tried loading it in single-user mode and typing in some code that worked last time something like this happened, but it wouldn't let me type anything in single-user mode.
    Now I'm stuff and have no idea what to do. Please help!

    Your only option is to reinstall OS X. The lesson of the day:
    Never move, rename, or delete any system files or folders including the System and Library folders.
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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 installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Macbook won't stay turned off. Please Help

    so i spilled some water on my keyboard and a few of the keys are no longer working however one of the keys is acting like its held down thus keeping my macbook powered up. so every time i shut down it just powers right back up. My question is will an external keyboard cancel out the built-in keyboard and is there a way to make my macbook only power up by pressing the power button at the top right to temporarily fix my problem until i can get it fixed or buy an external keyboard. Any help is good help at this point.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I've had this same problem off and on for months. It is a major pain since the battery drains quickly win the phone won't stay in the standby or off modes.
    I went into the genius bar once but it stopped having the problem about an hour before my appointment.
    Usually when this occurs I just dock the phone and hope for the best. Sometimes it fixes itself when attached to the doc and sometimes a hard reset works, but not always. Of course, when I'm out and about I'm screwed since the phone drains quickly.
    I am currently experiencing the same problem so I will try a restore at home.
    I want this addressed before my warranty is up!

  • My Mac won't stay connected to Internet after Leopard upgrade

    Suddenly after upgrading to Leopard, both Safari and Mail report that Mac OS X isn't staying connected to the Internet. I'm using AirPort and a cable modem and it's always been reliable before. But now there seems to be something jumpy/fishy going on in the AirPort menu in Leopard's menu bar. The list of available networks changes very often and although my own network remains checked, Network Diagnostics shows that I am indeed getting disconnected often and for long lengths of time. But everytime I restart my Mac, my Internet connection is restored.
    I had fully expected BETTER networking in Leopard, not WORSE.

    Jorge
    So sorry, I have not checked back to Discussions til tonight. You have undoubtedly solved your problem. But just in case not...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451 is where I learned about Soft and Hard Resetting of the Airport base stations. There is also a Factory reset that's not really on this page.
    After I Hard set, I then went into Leopard's new interface for the AirPort Utility. Very straight forward to configure to set your station(s) up again. I've not had a problem since.
    Again, soooooo sorry I didn't drop in sooner with this information.

  • IPhone won't Stay connected to Wifi, please help

    i will connect to wifi, and everything will be ok when im on the phone. but when i lock it and set it down for awhile then go to unlock it the 3G is there and not the wifi symbol. i am wanting to know why that is. it hasn't done it before until now. i recenlty restored my phone because of some other issues my phone was having. those issues are fixed as far as i can tell. but this issue has just appeared. i have also been away from home so i am not on my home wifi, i am on my friends wifi. i feel as if my phone doing this that it is killing my battery alot faster then it should. so my question is why is it doing this? thanks for the help.

    It is doing this because this is the way iOS is designed to work.  Turning off Wi-Fi when the device is asleep and not actively using the Wi-Fi saves battery life.
    Now, if the device were streaming audio or doing something that would use the Wi-Fi and stay active when the device is put to sleep, the Wi-Fi will stay active as long as that apps/feature is still using the Wi-Fi.

  • My mac won't start at all. Please help urgently. Thanks!

    My shockwave was not working. So I decided to quit all programs and restart my mac
    It doesn't restart at all.
    There is a ding and then it just gies power off.
    Tried safe reboot but still the same thing happen.

    Did you try booting into your Recovery partition? Hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and if you can get to your Recovery partition use Disk Utility to verify your disk and, if needed, repair the disk.
    If it can't be repaired, then it's likely dying.

    Why would this be covered under warranty?  There is nothing wrong with the device, it simply needs to be restored.
    As already stated twice in this thread, disable ALL security software on the computer and restore the device.
