So when you connect the adapter to the macbook the LED light on the adapter doesn't come up as amber or green? I would take the computer and the adapter to an apple store (or authorized apple service provider) to have the computer tested on a known good adapter. That will let you know if you need to replace the adapter or have the computer sent in for repair. If you are within the one year warranty or extended 3 year applecare plan either of these should be covered. (barring any accidental damage to the adapter or computer)

My iphone doesnt charge on the wall when its on and my pc doesnt recognize when i plugged it

My problem is this, one day I tried to charge up my Iphone 5 by conecting it on the wall and nothing happened (it only works if I turn it off first so it is not a problem of the USB cable). When I tried to do it with my pc (it has windows 7) the pc did not detect the Iphone neither the Itunes and I tried to do it in others pc and it did not work either.
PLEASE I REEDED ON INTERNET THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. ANY IDEAS????
Thankyou.

That indicates a hardware problem with your phone. You need to have it repaired

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information back here.
Also it would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

Sounds like the battery is dead. Take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

Just like the title says, my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 running 10.8.2 freezes for an averge of 15 seconds whenever I plug anything into the USB ports. It varies depending on what is plugged in. Phones, both iPhone and Android make it freeze for about 15 seconds, USB drives are usually just a couple seconds. I dont even know where to begin when trouble shooting this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. When I plug in any usb device I get a short freeze of the pc for about 5 seconds. During my tests, I noticed that the freezing starts from the first time that i move the touchpad. It means that if I plug the usb device and I move the touchpad after 30 seconds, I get the freazing from that time for 5 seconds. if I continue to move the touchpad while I plug in the usb I don't get any freeze. Moreover, I noticed that if in the meantime that I plug in the usb I move the touchpad without any interruption, I don't get any freezing.
I don't know if the problem could be related to the touchpad or not... Help!!!

MacBook doesnt boot when wi-fi router is on.

Greetings.
Thats pretty weird but it is how it is. First time my mac refused to boot i was really confused: tried everything and it didnt help: i saw a loader on the screen but it didnt boot further. Then i decided to re-install Mac Os. Did it, but next time i turned my Mac off i wasnt able to boot it again.
A miracle solved the problem: occasionally i unplugged power supply from my wi-fi router (D-Link DI-524 that is. Latest firmware update installed. original Release:B), and voila my MacBook did a happy beep-beep and started to load a system. So as it is now my MacBook Doesnt boot when my router is on and it does boot if i turn router off.
My MacOsX 10.4.1 is freshly installed with all latest updates that i downloaded via "update software" thing. Did no tuning to it, almost no 3rd party software installed so far, apart from MS Office 2004. My question is pretty simple: How can i make my MacBook boot without unplugging power from my router (since its pretty weird to do it every time i turn my Mac on).
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.

Could it just be stuck trying to join a Network, or mounting a Share of some kind?
Might try dragging these to the Desktop, reboot, and see if it works...

HI. When I plug in my charger and use my macbook, I feel some kind of roughness on the body. It feels like some current flowing around it. Need help please.

My 2006 MacBook Pro and my 2011 MacBook Air both do it. It happens because the earth ground stops at the power brick and is not carried through to the case of the machine. It is not dangerous or the machine would not have been UL approved.
Since I operate on battery 99.9999% of the time it doesn't bother me at all.

My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning

My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning off and on. It will do this for hours until it finally stays on and charges. I've gotten a new charger, but it didn't work. Help

Hi there katygracie88,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing when the battery is only 45%.it goes dead then says the phone is dead,but when I plug in the charger it turns on instantly and the battery is 45%.please help someone!

My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing at 45%!when my iPhone nears 45% from a full charge it suddenly says the phone is 20% then 10% then 1% and then it goes dead.when I plug in the charger instead of waitin a few minutes for it to turn on,it instantly turns on and says the battery is 45%!this is OK at home where I can keep the charger plugged in but what about when im on the go?PLEASE HELP!!!

This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.
