Macbook Pro Battery "replace now" after installing Lion

I'm 101% sure that this is not the first thread concerning battery problems with the "advcanced" system.
Here's my problem,
After I installed Lion, the battery won't charge. and now i'm livining on power-cord.
Hardware Overview:
  Model Name:    MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:    MacBookPro6,2
  Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed:    2.66 GHz
Charge Information:
  Charge Remaining (mAh):    0
  Fully Charged:    No
  Charging:    No
  Full Charge Capacity (mAh):    0
  Health Information:
Cycle Count:    49   <---- LOL??? only 49 cycles.
  Condition:    Replace Now
  Battery Installed:    Yes
  Amperage (mA):    0
  Voltage (mV):    10070
If anyone out there has found a resolution, please comment on. -.-||

Talk to Apple by calling the appropriate support number on this page. Either the battery is failing for some other reason that simple wear and tear, or the Lion OS is incorrectly reporting it as in poor condition.
Best of luck.

  • Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.)

    Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
    Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

  • Macbook pro won't reboot after installing lion

    After installing Lion on a 2007 MacBook pro, it won't reboot.  Just gets to the gray screen with the spinning wheel.  Have tried re-installing and disk repair to no avail.  Anyone else figured out how to fix?

    Lion only runs on Intel based systems which have to be core2duo. with a minimum of 2GB RAM.
    If these is given on your system, in most cases it comes from running old PPC-Applications which are not longer supported since Lion.
    Try to start your MB in "Safe Mode" by holding option key (alt) imediately after first chime and disable / delete this applications.

  • MacBook Pro won't restart after installing Lion

    I have a late 2010 model MacBook Pro that I upgraded to Lion about a year ago.  Ever since, I have not been able to "re-start" my computer and have to manually switch the computer off.  Because of this, I cannot install firmware updates.  Do I need to revert back to Snow Leopard or is there another way to fix this issue?
    Thanks.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Has anyone noticed that your Macbook Pro is really hot after installing Lion?

    Since I have installed Lion on Friday, I have noticed that my MacBook Pro is very hot to the touch. Has anyone found this same issue?
    Haven't had any of the problems that other people have had since installing.
    What are your thoughts out there?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    I had this same concern on mine as well until I remembered that Lion would have to index the entire drive. My MBP is using an 120GB Intel SSD so once indexing started it did not take long, about 2 hours with the drive at 59GB, but it was warm the entire time.
    My iMac (2011 version) ran hot for around 6 hours with the standard 1TB drive about half full.
    Since then I have noticed they both run a few degrees hotter than before but nothing I am concerning myself with as it's right around 100 to 100 degrees versus 90 to 100 with SL. So I beleive there are some services running that are doing alot, probably the biggy is the autosave feature.

  • My MacBook pro don't start after installing Lion

    Hi
    I just downloaded Lion from AppStore, then my MacBook pro wan,t start. It is only the apple.

    I'm afraid that with hardware problems, such as you dsecribe, are difficult (if not impossible) to diagnose over the Internet. You're just going to have to break down and make the trip to your nearest Apple Store or AASP and have them diagnose your computer. I take it that you didn't purchase the extended AppleCare Protection Plan? Let's just hope it's not a logic board problem...

  • Mid 2008 15" MacBook Pro 2.5 dying after installing Lion

    Has anyone else run into this? Have seen a number of results on Google. What is Apple doing about it? I was told to buy a new computer after it finally dies last weeked. The problem was an increasingly cumbersome wake-up process, where I had to move the mouse around the screen to build some squares so I could just see my sign in loge and where to type the password.
    Have read that it is due to the failure of the nVidea video chip caused by Lion. Both my sons have the same computer since I had mine (9/08 or so) and theirs are working flawlessly on Snow Leopard. So it can't be the chip itsleff, but how Lion treated the whole video chip. The computer started running hotter than normal tc.
    I have been using Macs since 6/87. Funny thing was, the guy at the Apple didn't try anything different from I had already done. Pull out battery and hold down power key for 10 seconds, reset parameter RAM, etc....... Then I find out via Google that there is an issue with Lion and some PBPs.
    Is Apple giving some kind of cash back reward? They must have known about this problem for a while now and should have warned people that they may not want to upgrade to Lion.
    Any feedback and ideas are welcome.
    Tx.

    Download the right test software from Apple : details at https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest#
    You can either make a bootable CD/USB or replace the missing /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics folder on your startup drive.
    This doesn't seem to work for everyone, but has for me & others with similar age & later MBPs.

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep after installing Lion

    Hi,
    I have just installed Mac OSX Lion last night. Everything worked out fine until I realized that everytime I close the Lid or Press Sleep from the Apple menu, it will not actually Sleep. After I open up the lid, I actually have to press the brightness of the light for the light to comes up. Or else its just going to be blank/black. During I close the lid, I could actually see that the light isn't actually breathing and I wonder how do I fix this? I have tried resetting the PRAM though.

    I have the same issue with my MacBook.  I have it in a docking station hooked to an external monitor and after upgrading to Lion it will not go to sleep.  I can click the sleep button from the Apple menue, from the start menue where the password is entered, or even set up sleep hot corners and nothing works.  The only thing that worked for me was to take my computer out of the dock then restart.  Once I restarted I was able to put the computer to sleep, but only as long as it was no longer connected to the dock.  As soon as Lion recognizes there is an external monitor connected to my MacBook it prevents the sleep function.  I understand why they did this, because some people had issues with their computers going to sleep while plugged into an external monitor, but I'm not sure their solution is any better because they have now created several unnecessary steps for many people who use external monitors.  I hope Apple addresses this issue and comes up with a patch of some sort to give users the option to have it set up one way or another.  I'm also pretty ****** that they got rid of Front Row.

  • My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

    my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion?  Is anyone else having this issue?

    If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
    one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
    If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
    the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
    You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
    There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
    You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
    Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

  • HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

    Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Pro battery stopped working after water spill.

    Hello,
    I own a Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2010 that suffered water damage, after that it stopped functioning so I unplugged and plugged again the battery, the computer than turned on and now it's working well. The only issue I'm having is that now it only works when connected to a power source, there is a message telling that my battery has to be replaced (Condition: Replace now). My question is: If I replace the battery would the problem be solved or it may be a problem in my logic board due to the liquid spill? Can anyone help me?

    You have "killed" your Macbook.
    If you let it dry out, it MAY start working again, but if it does, this will inevitably be temporary as corosion sets in and does futher (and almost certainly terminal) damage.
    The only benefit of letting it dry is that IF it works again, you will be able to save what is on the HDD.  Only important if you don't have a backup.......you DO have a backup don't you???
    Irrelevant whether you have AppleCare or not - water damage isn't covered.  And the cost of repairs is likely to exceed the value of your MBP.  It is worth taking it in for a free evaluation of the cost of a repair.
    Your best option may be to sell it for spares and invest in a new computer - which will be kept a long way from any drinks or other sources of liquid damage!
