Macbook pro charger melted!!??? the pin and the contact are bust

my sister has a macbook and the plastic around the two pins on either side of the (mid 2010 new design) charger, and the plastic around the two outer contacts on the notebook melted and went black, and the pins sunk into the structure of the charger. My sister started to use my charger (which i think is the same charger or similar charger), i dont know what happened to the charger, but when i used it with my Macbook Pro the same thing happened, only this time it was with one of the pins on my charger, and the corresponding contact on my macbook. The Macbook Pro still charges, haven't checked the Macbook, but i dont want to charge anything at the moment - just incase i cause more damage.
Can someone please tell me what's going on and why this is happening, and how i can fix it. Is it a hardware problem with the charger? the notebooks? both? maybe a software problem - a virus causing it to happen? maybe there's a problem with mains? maybe the fan doesn't work properly and the laptop heats up and melts the port? really need to sort this out - before i start university again this september. I want to have an idea of whats happening or to rule out any illegitimate reasons before i decide to go to the apple store. I find it strange that it happened to both our notebooks.

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list.

I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home. All my music is stored on the cloud. So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different. The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I think you ave sorted my problem with your question. I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud". I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs. This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
I am totally confused now.

Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have a technical support question?

do not use that charger AT ALL. It could cause a fire. Bring it to your local Apple store or AASP. They may give you a free replacement, but you need to bring both the charger and the mac.

Does my macbook pro charge with the cover closed?

I just noticed that the battery does not charge to full when the cover is closed.. I always thought that it did.

It does, perhaps you need to do a #1 SMC reset and a Hardware check

If it continues, take the machine to Apple for service, a sensor or button isn't working properly.

MacBook Pro charger overheating.

MacBook Pro charger overheating replaced it and new one is overheating also don't know if its the charger causing the the problem.

Yikes! I assume you mean that thing some people use to smooth out their clothes?
Are you still under warranty? I would take it in to make sure it's not something on the computer side.

You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

Might be a problem with the adapter.

MacBook Pro Charger not working, end of cord before the magnet part got detached from it.

for past an hour, my MacBook Pro charger stopped working so took the charger off and tried to fix it a bit by fixing the corn and straightening it or something.. Suddenly, the end of the cord, just before the magnet part, got detached from the magnet part with the pins and all.
i Tried to attach it back, and even if it did enter, I don't think it would continue to charge..
Is there anyway to fix this? Or do I have to get a new charger (which has to be my last resort, because I don't want to have to repair it by removing parts etc etc, or really pay money)

No and yes. A new charger is in your future.

Ive had my macbook pro for a week now and when i cleaned the screen 4 days ago i found a little chip in the screen so the computer was definitely chipped at the manufacture or at the store but again its almost microscopic

To whom It May Concern,i have my macbook pro its a week old and after maybe 2-3 days cleaned it and noticed a little chip in the screen when the light flashed on the computer. Also my charger sometimes just dose not work ill plug it in at a different outlet then it will work its very frustrating to have this many issues i would like to see if i could get a new charger that actually works and a macbook without a tiny chip in it
Please let me know what you guys can do about it.
Thank You,

My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.

After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.

How much ram can I add to my late 2008 MacBook Pro? I run Mavericks and just got a new inexpensive hard drive. RAM is not very expensive so Thought I would bump it up from the current 2MB of 1067 Mhz DDr3

When I sync my iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro I get the following message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". The strange this is that the phone did not disconnect because it sync my contacts and is charging.
Why does this happen? I have tried several cables and it does the same thing.

My macbook pro charger does not work!! I have extended warranty/Guarantee from the store, do they exchange or give me a new one?

Hi,
There is a problem with my MacBook Pro Charger. It was working for a few months, but then it just doesnt work. My laptop doesnt charge!!
I have an extended guarantee from the store, i got my laptop, does it apply Warrantee/Guarantee? There is no problem with my laptop, cause it charges all fine with my wife's charger!
Thanks

In as much as we here are not the store the best thing to do is bring it back and have them give you a new one. You should be most certainly covered under warranty. (As long as your dog didn't eat it).
