If the battery is new, and does not charge, perhaps you need a SMC and/or PRAM reset, perhaps this helps. If not, the trouble may lie elsewhere.

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.

Like the topic says, have an macbook pro 15 late 2008 works like a charm.
Have had a bad battery for over a year so today i bought a new one, plugged it in
and started my mac, said charging and stood on 0% for about 10 mins then the adapter
turned green and the battery didnt show up on my mac anymore, tried and SMC or whats
it called, same thing happened again
downloaded cocnut battery and there it just said when i was charging that the
battery was -1 amh?
isnt new battery supposed to be delieverd with 50% on them?
What can be the problem here? is it the AC adapter?
helpful for anytips, a very poor student so cant have it on a serviceHi iphone_warrior,
thanks for the reply and for your support. However, I did not understand why I as customer should go to the next Apple store nor why I should pay 29,- Euros for the replacement.
I give you an example. I have an HP printer. Was not working any more after 2 month. HP send me a new printer and took back the old without any charge.
Apple knows that it is a problem with the phone battery. Why the customer should pay for that. The customer has warranty, the customer paid the product. Apple has to care about the customer. It seems that Apple cares more about to increase its profit and leave the support its customers. Anyhow, if this the only way I have to invest the time and will go for the Apple store. I hope the buggy phone will be replaced by one which is working properly. Otherwise I will go for the offer from Samsung which won't be a good advertisement for Apple at all.
Best regards, Harun99
I wonder why this threat has been taken from the discussion forum. Is that the way Apple is working with the feedback from its customers. Very dissapointing. -
R3000 - New battery reads 77% but won't operate laptop
Hi,
Compaq R3000, Celeron 2.8Ghz
This laptop came to me pretty much unused because of a failed Hard Drive. Successfuly replaced hard drive.
Original battery was showing 0% and refusing to charge so I assumed it was faulty (after several years of non-use) and replaced with a compatible battery. New battery is recognized by laptop & read 77% on first boot while running on Mains adaptor. Left charging overnight - in morning charge level still showed 77% but laptop will not run at all on the battery.
The new battery spec http://www.espow.co.uk/compaq-presario-r3000-laptop-batteries-p-5852.html
Have I got a faulty new battery or might something else be wrong?
Many thanks.You will have to restore them to another Mac, TM is not my specialty so I will let another poster take you down that road.
Good luck -
My macbook pro doesn't turn on. The battery is charged but the screen stays black when I press the power button. Anybody has a solution for me please?
Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?
That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service. -

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
Thanks.hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

My new battery wont charge at all...???
I just replaced my battery in my Macbook Pro because my old battery wouldnt hold a charge. My new battery wont charge at all...??? Could it be the adapter? The green light is on.
Have you reset the SMC?

My MacBook Pro has a faint blinking orange light on the charger but won't turn on, I've tried many different things to restart it but nothing works
The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

Synchs iphone but won't restore without password
itunes synchs with iphone but won't restore without password to unlock iphone backup files. Have tried every password I know, including the one revealed in keychains, and numeric values such as 0000, etc. to no avail. Have checked other forums and all offer possible solutions such as deleting files from itune restarting and upgrading, jailbreaking and various other terms which I do not understand...all sound iffy and possibly precarious, at best since they are not apple supported forums and some users report success using such methods but others do not. This is an apple issue and should be addressed by apple. How can I discover the wanted password and restore function to my phone, avoid this happening again with future updates, and not have to waste 3 days of my life to recover from an apple generated issue?
