It's clear that the battery has got enough capacity to work correctly, so something happens with the MagSafe port or its charger. If you have another charger, try it, and if not, take the MacBook and the charger to an Apple Store or reseller. It's better to do this as we don't know if the problem is in the charger or in the MacBook Pro -
I bought a new macbook pro 13inch retina and sometimes the charger doesn't work properly, I dont know if its the charger or my laptop? i always have to take the charger in or out for it to work ... -.-

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.
Hi Winterwilly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below answers your question of how to use QuickTime to record something on your MacBook Pro’s screen.

MacBook Pro shuts down and won't charge, battery light on the side is off completely?
Hey guys,
So about 20 minutes ago, I walked over to my macbook pro ('17) to plug in my phone charger. The top was already open, so I didn't have to pull it up. I clicked the touchpad to turn it on, and it turned on for literally half a second, and turned black with a bit of a static noise I believe. As if it blew a fuse.
So I look on the side of the computer where you can press that little button and a bunch of lights will turn on according to battery life, and nothing. Not one light turned on. I got this computer fixed a month ago with a replaced battery, screen, graphics card I believe, and operating system.
What happened?? It won't charge or turn on. Is there any chance I can revive this or is it toast?Hi, I am having the same exact problem! Anyone who know what to do?

Why does my MacBook Pro battery discharge even when the charger is plugged in?
I've been having a myriad of problems with my MacBook Pro's battery. The main problem is that when in use, the battery steadily discharges often at a very quick rate even when I have the charger plugged in, the only way I can get it to recharge is to close the lid or turn the computer off, however, it has recently started to take a very long time to recharge (I left it for 12 hours and it charged from 0% to 60%). I also noticed that while off, the charger light occassionaly goes green and then back to orange every few minutes. When I manage to get the battery up to 100% charge, it usually stays at 'Charged' for around 5 or 10 minutes and then it just comes up with 'Calculating...' as it slowly discharges, it also occassionaly claims that it is recharging and that it will take around 6 to 8 hours but it only charges about 1% of the battery and switches to 'Not charging'. Also, sometimes the charger light wont come on when it is plugged in and the Mac refuses to acknowledge it is plugged in for some time.
I took it to the Apple Store a few months ago and one of the Geniuses reset the System Management controller and did a quick hardware test which seemed to fix it but the problems returned soon after, I cannot enter the hardware test screen and subsequent attempts to reset the SMC have done nothing, he also tested the charger and tried it with another charger but it did not help. Hope you guys can help me as I am completely stumped by this and its beginning to annoy me as my Mac is becoming almost unusable.

MacBook Pro battery: Conditioning and using
So, my question is mainly this: Is it harmful to ALWAYS leave the power cord attached and plugged in on my wonderful MacBook Pro? Or is it best to use on battery power only until it is nearly drained?
Also, does one need to condition the battery after so many hours of use?
ThanksMost of the time my Macbook Pro (first generation) is plugged in, running on A/C power. I have done so for about 7 or 8 months when I first got it. Lately I've been using the battery as it should be used and I've noticed some minor changes with the battery and battery life. Occasionally the battery power meter would show it at only 47940 mWh (at 100%, fully charged), then when I recallibrate it, it would jump back to around 55000 as it was designed straight from the factory.
Again I would take the charger off and use it, and it would only be on a/c when it was being charged. Sometimes it fluctuates drastically, (usually once or twice a month) but a simple recallibration fixes the problem. I'm thinking the reason why it's not constant and steady is because for the first 7 or 8 months of its life it has always been running off the a/c power.
I don't know if this is irregular, it certainly doesn't bother me, but it's just an example that you can look at if you decide how to condition your battery in the future. -
Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on
I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?
Try a SMC reset:

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

MacBook Pro Battery overheating and expanding
I purchased a MacBook Pro three years ago and have not had any problems with it. However, during the last month the battery has been getting very hot. And within the last week or two, the battery cover has been expanding and coming loose. I'm guessing that the battery needs to be replaced. But at the moment I don't have the funds to purchase a new one. Can I still run the laptop with the AC power connected and the battery out of the computer? Or will this hurt the laptop?
It's perfectly safe for your hardware to run without the battery. You should be aware however that should there be even the briefest interruption of power, you will lose anything you might be working on if you have not saved it.
Your MacBook will also run at nearly half its normal speed if you use it with the battery removed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2332
Regardless of the two issues raised above, you should not continue to use your machine with that battery installed. It is possible for the expanding battery to create enough upwards pressure to damage the logic board or to cause trackpad/keyboard problems. -
MacBook Pro battery indicator and stand-by problems
The battery indicator on the left side of my Macbook Pro shows battery empty all the time, evrn though the battery is charged. It also takes two or three minutes to stand by. Both the problem started at the same time so I think they may be related. What could be the cause of the problems?

My macbook pro battery is not holding a charge...what do I do?
So, suddenly, literally the last two days, my Macbook will not hold a charge. Within about an hour or two of use, the battery drops 30%. Previously, I could use it for several days before the charge dropped; it would take a week to go from 100% to critical and it was on all the time. The computer is about a year and a half old (so to speak). The closest Apple Store is almost 300 miles away.
Is there something I can do? Install/uninstall items?
Thanks for any and all help.Install the free Battery Health utility available on the App Store. It will tell you how much battery capacity you have left, compared to the official charge capacity when new, plus will let you monitor in-use battery drain, that will let you learn and use power management techniques to maximize runtime.
For instance, mine shows up after 32 cycles and 7.5 months of life as having 102% of max official capacity (6990 of 6900 mAh), which translates for me to around 6 hours of usage on the average, but which I can stretch out to 7 or 7.5 in a pinch. Guess I got lucky with it, cause when brand new it arrived with a 7160 mAh capacity Yours being a 13" model will show up with a smaller battery capacity. -
Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?
I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?
Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?
The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity. -
My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge, but charger is fine
My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge. I did the PRAM reset when there was still some power left in the battery. The charger indicator light doesn't come on when I connect it to MacBook Pro, BUT it works just fine with my old white Mac book. This happened a few times before, and unplugging and plugging the adapter into the MacBook pro helped. Now nothing happens no matter how many times I reset the charger. Is there anything else I can do?
More than likely you need a new battery.
