macbook can't see the battery

Try starting the MB in Safe mode. If the trouble goes away in Safe mode, then there is definitely a problem with the configuration of your main account. If the problem persists under Safe mode, then it could be a hardware problem, in which case you will need to have it serviced.

MacBook does not "see" the battery. Poweradapter won't charge it ..

Hello, my Macs seem to be at war with me. Today, it's my MacBook playing up. I plugged it in this morning and was surprised to find that it switched off the moment I took the poweradapter out. I then realized that it only works when powered off the power adapter. "No battery" is what the computer thought. I took the battery out and put it in again but nothing changed. I switched the computer off and on again and it nows recognizes that a battery is in but it shows me that it is at 0% and says that "battery is not charging". The power adapter is attached at all times .... It is an older computer (end of 2006), perhaps an old battery, but hey .. is it normal for things to go so out of order from a moment to moment?

Hi, m.g.h. Have you ever tried a different, known-good AC adapter, just to eliminate the possibility that the problem resides there? If you plug the adapter in and the adapter ringlight glows green, turn the Powerbook over and press the button on the battery. The lights on the battery should glow green and stay on if the adapter is working correctly.
I don't see the Battery Info in "About this Mac..." (it's not listed at all; is this because I'm in OS 10.3.9...?
Yes, it is. That info doesn't appear in Panther's System Profiler, so you were right to check it in Terminal.
Your battery is obviously connected to the Powerbook, given the Terminal readouts. That being the case, it would seem that the possible causes include a bad (though new) battery; a bad PMU; a bad DC-In board, if you have a DVI Tibook; and a bad AC adapter.

Can't see the battery, clock, and network indicator on lock or home screen

It only appears in apps. I just upgraded to 7.0.2. It's the whole bar that's missing, also wifi, alarm, DND mode, etc... Anyone else seeing this? Is there a new setting for this somewhere?
Thanks!

Alright. The problem seems to have solved it self after I updated some other apps (skype and pizza pizza). Seems like that should be unrelated, but it happened.

MacBook can't see wifi network

Hi there,
Please help! I'm setting up a wireless network and my macbook can't see the wireless network.
The bizarre thing is that my friend's macbook sees it and connects with no problem. My macbook sees other wireless networks, but not mine! What's going on?!
I have done the following
- checked that it's turned on. (turned airport off, and back on, and restarted the computer)
- checked that the router is broadcasting the SSID
- checked the network name and password are correctly entered.
- tried entering the name/pwd directly into the "preferred networks" setting of the Network Preferences pane
what else could I do? I'm at a loss.
Please help.
thanks!

Solved my own problem.
Although the wifi router was set to broadcast the SSID (and only one of my macs could see it), I changed the settings so it was NOT broadcasting the SSID, then plugged the appropriate settings into the System Preferences pane, and it worked.
crazy. but it works.

Macbook can't see external HD connected to iMac

Hello,
I just bought a Macbook and set it up with my iMac on the wireless network. Everything else works fine, but my Macbook can't see the external drive that is connected to my iMac. I want to be able to back up the Macbook to the drive. I tried turning on file sharing on the iMac and adding the LaCie drive to the list of shared folders, but its still not showing. Is there something I need to change or configure to get it to show up?
Thanks

I believe this Airport update, released in the spring (2008) did enable AirDisk usage with Airport Extreme wireless devices:

Unfortunately, it is Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) only, and I see form your stats that you are still on Tiger (10.4).
It will be interesting if Tadd's tip works though. Let us know.
Cheers!

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

Yes, you can ..

My macbook screen doesn't work so I have connected it to the TV and now nothing works, I can't see the dock or the finder bar, no folders on desktop either. I don't know what to do!

Do you see anything on the TV?
If you just see your desktop, then your MacBook is defaulting to extended display mode. Try pressing the Command + F1 keys to see if you get the menu bar and other icons.

How can I see the quantity of battery cycles on Satellite U200-181?

I have Satellite U200-181, and I use it hard, every. I want to be ready replace my battery, when it will have 400 cycles.
How can I see the quantity of battery cycles on my laptop?

You must not see this. You will see that capacity of the battery drops down and will be empty after short time. Nobody say that you will be able to use battery 400 cycles only. Maybe you will be lucky and the battery will have longer life time.
My Tecra M1 is about 4 years old and still working with original battery.
Your question is pretty unusual and I am really interested about further comments.

Unless there's a disk in there, you won't see it.

No, unfortunately.
You have to use the proper power adopter.

If/when it is dry
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
