The (relatively new) charger works fine and powers the laptop fine - a green light is on when connected but the battery won't charge.
Here is the information. Can anybody help?

Your battery has as much life in it as Ossama Binladen.  You need a new one which can be installed at an Apple store.  1241 cycles is more than one can reasonably expect.  Though you may operate your MBP with the power adapter, the performance will be slowed down by the OS until a new battery is installed.

  • Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

    Hello,
    Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
    I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
    Thanks,
    FF

    Have you tried resetting SMC?

  • Macbook Pro 2009 Battery won't charge when plugged in

    So recently i've experienced a problem in which my Macbook Pro 15 inch (2009 model A1286) would not charge even while plugged in. So i thought the problem was that my battery had to be serviced for a while now and it said it wouldn't harm my computer so i used it for a bit longer and finally bought a new replacement battery. After installing this NEW battery the same problem still occurs. While going on like youtube or listening to music the computer would flash green for a bit, say "battery is not charging" then go back to orange but the percentage would slowly decrease instead of the opposite. I've tried the SMC reset but the problem still occurs. I am using an 85W magsafe power adapter which is the correct charger for my model so I don't believe that is the issue because i've been using this same charger for a couple years and nothing like this has happened before. One thing i've noticed is that while in the system profiler section I see that the AC charger information only shows that i am using 60W but on the charger it clearly states 85W. Any solutions would be appreciated this has been driving me crazy and i already invested in a new battery I would really like a solution that doesn't require me to buy more stuff. Thank you.

    Try a friends charger to rule out the charger (or visit an Apple store to try one there).  Perform the SMC reset again and also reset the PRAM

  • My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
    I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
    I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.

  • My four-month-old macbook pro's battery when fully charged is now down to 2 hours life from 7...in the last week. Why?

    I bought my macbook pro 13" about four months ago and have been in love with it ever since - especially as compared to my old PC laptop, the battery stays cool and lasts forever when I am working. Best charge was 7 hours. However, in the last week I have noticed the battery suddenly becoming hot when I unplug the charger, and the best length of time I can get on a full charge is 2 hours.
    I have made sure all the settings are for prolonged battery life - which they've been since I first set up - and turned off all programmes running in the background, but this has not made any difference. I have been using iMovie a lot lately which takes a lot of battery which is probably why I didn't notice the battery being low as it automatically seems to make the battery slump to 2 hours when it's on. It's off now, and my battery won't improve.
    I have also now followed the instructions (below) about calibrating, but this has had no effect. My housemate bought the same model a month ahead of me, uses it probably slightly less, but his is still 7 hours for a charge.
    Is my battery faulty?
    Calibration instructions used:
    PowerBook G4 (15-inchDouble-Layer SD), MacBook (all models), MacBook Pro (all models), and MacBookPro (17-inch) (all models)
    Thebattery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) and anymodel of MacBook or MacBook Pro has been updated because of a new batteryreleased with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps tocalibrate your battery:
    Plug in the power adapter and     fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the     power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar     indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    Allow the battery to rest in the     fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer     during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    Disconnect the power adapter while     the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power.     You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low,     the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
    At this point, save your     work.  Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low,     the computer will automatically go to sleep.
    Turn off the computer or allow it     to sleep for five hours or more.
    Connect the power adapter and     leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
    Tip:When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleepmode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", tomaintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is trulyexhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safesleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive.When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep stateusing the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

  • My Macbook Pro saying Battery is Not Charging

    When I plug my Macbook Pro into a charger it is saying "Battery is Not Charging" and the charger isn't changing color when plugged in. But it is making the charging symbol over the battery?

  • 3 years old Macbook Pro's battery inflated after charged overnight

    My Macbook pro was bought in late 2009, normal use for graphic design, never had any hardware changed.
    This morning when I open it I immediately notice theres a bit different and the mouse is not working, so it turns out to be the battery is inflated and pushes up the mousepad so I couldn't press it.
    Went to the apple store and asked one of the worker there, he said it's a normal thing for a battery to inflates, is it true?

    No its not true
    The battery could explode and cause a fire hazzard, also you state that your track pad is not working due to the bulging battery.
    Return to a Genius Bar and get them to confirm

  • MacBook Pro runs slowly; won't charge

    My brother (I'm the family's tech support) has an early 2011 15" MBP. After the family went on a cruise this past week, he turned on his computer to find his battery had 0% remaining, however after plugging it in for hours that didn't change. Unplugging the machine forced it to die immediately. The machine also runs very slowly and every time the computer starts up it sets the date to sometime in 2000.  He says he replaced the RAM about 4 months ago while I was away at college, and since then he has had no problems until now. The sleep/wake indicator light on the front of the computer flashes on startup and the battery indicator on the left side of the machine only flashes all of the lights. The battery indicator in the menu bar shows that the computer isn't charging.
    I've tried clearing the NVRAM, resetting the SMC, verifying/repairing the disk and its permissions, reinstalling the operating system, reseating the RAM, starting on AC power with the battery disconnected, reseating the RAM again (after cleaning), disabling Java, uninstalling Flash and all other Adobe software (that helped with my computer a couple of years ago), and uninstalling all of his other installed plug-ins (he's a Minecrafter/gamer) but all of this to no avail. The machine is still sluggish and I'm out of ideas. The genius bar has no appointments until after the New Year and my brother needs to do work.
    Long story longer, I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like he didn't turn it off when he went away and left it sleeping which drained the battery completely and probably Killed the battery.
    Only other thing to try is to turn it OFF, not just put it to sleep, for a few hours, a day, with the AC charger connected and see if the battery comes back to life. If not have the battery changed.

  • Battery in 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge faster.

    The battery in my 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge more quickly.  Also does not charge to 100% as it used to when new.

    Hi A,
    You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple.

  • NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

    If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart

    Hi, as mentioned in the header : MacBook Pro - After Battery dies I'm not able to type in login window, until forcing a restart
    After the battery drains to 0% the computer switches off.... *Makes sense*
    Once I put the charger power chord back in for an extended period of time I hit the power button and then see the login screen.... *Makes sense*
    However it won't let me type into the login box therefore having to force a restart and lose any saved data or data open when it died of battery. *WEIRD*
    This happens every time my computer runs out of battery. I understand that obviously not letting the laptop die is a good idea, however it seems like there is something wrong as it allows me to login yet won't let me type anything...
    Any solutions? Anyone else experience this?
    I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro - 15 Inch Screen.

    Hi s4mboy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'd start with resetting the SMC and PRAM on the MacBook Pro:

  • What if i leave macbook pro for 15 days without charging?

    i am going out of town and i am leaving my mac at home,,,, will this effect my mac's battery cuz it would not be charged!!!!!!
    model no.  md101ll/a

    It won't affect to the MacBook Pro's battery life. I recommend you to leave the battery at about 50% or a bit less, but as you aren't going to use the Mac for only 15 days, it's not as important, but you should do it.
    It's more recommended when you aren't going to use the MacBook Pro for months. If you want more information, see > http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

  • Battery Won't Charge & Can't Update OSX Beyond 10.4.6

    I'm a relatively new Macbook user, so any insight would be helpful.
    Here's my plight:
    My battery won't charge, so I called AppleCare and they told me to download the latest FIRMWARE for the battery. (This is after re-setting the battery, and pressing the button located on the BACK of the battery, hoping to get the three-or-four green lights... I'm getting nothing).
    I came here and downloaded a battery fix/update - the problem is that the battery fix requires my OS to be 10.4.8.... I have 10.4.6... And I can't log onto the internet (another 'fun' issue) through my Macbook in order to download anything beyond 10.4.6....
    So, now, I downloaded 10.4.7 from the apple website, off my Windoze PC, yet when I try to load 10.4.7 on my Macbook, the set-up goes through the motions, then STOPS after I ACCEPT the terms, and tells me that I don't have a (I'm paraphrasing) proper HD to store the updated version.
    No more than two months ago I had to get a new HD (after only having my MacBook for six months) and I'm not looking to get another one...
    Since the root of my issues stem from me not being able to upgrade... Any thoughts on how to upgrade, even though I can't connect my Macbook to the net?

  • Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

    Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
    I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

    Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."
