Macbook pro doesn't see the battery...

i couldn't reinstall Mac Os 10.8 so i haven't used my mac at least 3 weeks. after i take one of my ram out i was able to install OS.
when i first opened my mac it said "Battery is not charging"... (it showed %0 percent)
i did a SMC reset, and now my mac doesn't even find any battery pluged in.
what should i do?

I went to a Service in Turkey. they told me my mainbord was defective. they charged me 740$.
but i told them my mac's only problem not to see battary otherwise it worsk fine.
my warranty has ended 4-5 monts ago.
they also told me normally the price is 950$ but we will sent your ex mainbord to apple so the price will be reduced to 740$.
does any one has any idea that i face the problem because of mainborad.
( i also fell that they are tring to cheat me.)

MacBook Pro doesn't see hard drive

My MacBook Pro doesn't see it's hard drive. It doesn't show up when I press the Option key or in Disk Utility on the Snow Leopard disc. It was working for a while and then the computer started freezing, mainly when I was using Xcode. I thought it was an OS problem originally. Then it would occasionally not see the hard drive and come up with the "?" folder. It steadily got worse until it reached where I am now, not working at all. It doesn't see my Windows XP partition either. I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM, but to no avail. The OS boots just fine when I put the hard drive in a different MacBook, so it's not the hard drive. I have taken great care of this computer, rarely taking it out of the house. I did buy it used with a backlight problem though, so I don't know exactly what the previous owner did. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
Or if you have Diskwarrior or Techtool Pro use one of these utilities by booting directly from their cd.

Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, 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.

W8 doesn\'t see the battery driver

My G6 started not to recharge battery recently. Device manager doesn't see the battery. But the power cord's white light is on when plugged in. Also at the battery sign it looks like plugged in. Message there is "plugged in not charging"
Type: Pavillion G6
Serial No: 5CD207690D
Product Number:A9J86EA
Any useful help would be appreciated...

Hi,
First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here. When the uninstall is complete, shut the notebook down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery and then start the notebook on just the battery. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver - leave Windows running for a few minutes. Shut down the notebook again. Now plug in the AC Adapter ( with the battery still inserted ) and start the notebook to see if this has helped the issue at all.
Regards,
DP-K

Macbook Pro doesn't see Airport Express

Hi,
I've been struggling with connection to my Airport Express.
My Macbook Pro (OS X 10.6.7 + all the latest updates) doesn't recognize it anymore. Occasionally, my wireless network was briefly visible to the Mac, but connecting to it only led to a time out. My Windows laptop from work did not have issues connecting, and neither did my iPhone...
I've done a reset of the AE, which did not help (my Windows laptop now shows the Apple Network XXXXX that is supposed to appear). However, the Airport Utility that is supposed to help me reinstall the thing from my Mac will not recognize it either...
Anyone any suggestions on where to go from here?

I am having the same problem. Right now i am sharing the wireless connection through the iPhone because my MBP2011 won't even see the SSID broadcasted by the airport express.
I hace tried emptying the keychain, emptying the list of known networks but nothing helps. It had the same kind of episode last week but after a lot of rebooting and editing of the AE over ethernet cable it started working again.
Tonight I came home from work, started the MBP and it wouldn't see the network. It has popped up once but clicking on it only resulted in a timeout error message.
Any help would be much appreciated! The AE is only a month old..
MBP2011
OS: Lion latest update
Airport utility and AE are updated. The utility doesn't see the AE.
iStumbler doesn't see the AE-network.
Please advise,
Sebastian

MacBook Pro-How long should the battery last?

Hi there i just recently got a MacBook Pro a month ago this is my first laptop and i was wondering how long the batery is ment to last for befroe going flat? my macbook is the most recent 13 inch one and its battery only tends to last 6 or 7 hours before i need to charge it again, just wondering if this is normal?

I have the same MacBook Pro, and "eww" is absolutely right. 6-7 hours is what you will get under normal use. Now if you want to see the battery reach 10 hours, dim the screen to 6% and just do nothing. Just kidding, but you get the point.

My macbook pro doesn't bootbeyond the grey screen with apple icon and spinning wheel.

My macbook pro doesn't boot beyond the grey screen with apple icon and spinning wheel. I used the "Option" button to access the Disk Utility function and run Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions. Should I restart my computer?

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

Macbook pro doesn't see lexor 16gb usb memory stick. (Windows PC does see it)

Heading says it all. I'm baffled. Windows PC sees the memory stick but my MacBook Pro doesn't.
Plese help.

Mac's are very very particular about the Ram they use. Mac's historiclly only seem to like top of the line when it comes to Ram.
http://www.crucial.com
or
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
Both of these are considered the top of the line in Ram.
I have been in computers since 90 and I am not at all familiar with Lexor Ram

I have the same camera and never had a problem connecting it to my PC. I just bought a MacBook Pro and now I cannot figure out how to get it to recognize the camera either. Sorry I cannot offer any suggestions, but wanted to get on this thread to see if anyone else can help. Good luck!

MacBook Pro doesn't see my iPhone to sync it

I've been using my iPhone 3GS (OS 4) to run the Nike+ app, and have been syncing it nearly daily to my MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.11) after my runs. A few days ago when I tried to sync, the computer didn't recognize the iPhone was connected. I purchased a new cable and was able to upload the stored data yesterday with it, but today I have the same problem with both the new & old cables: the computer doesn't see my iPhone as even connected. Both the cables work when I plug them in to recharge the phone. I don't think the problem is the cable -- does anyone have any ideas about what to try next?

You need to update your software to 10.5.8 at a minimum. That's your problem, 10.4.11 is no longer supported.
See here:
Mac system requirements
* Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
* Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
* iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
* iTunes Store account
* Internet access

My macbook pro simply dies when the battery runs low

I've got a MBP, running 10.6, and as of a few months ago, whenever the battery gets low to just a few percent, the computer simply shuts off. It used to go to sleep, which would allow me to plug it in and restore to where I was when it went into standby. It doesn't do that now, just a hard shut down and I've lost anything that was open. Any ideas how I can correct this and get my computer to sleep instead of dying? Thank you

It's getting low but not that low,
Try this:
Note: MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SM

Iphoto on macbook pro doesn't see photos on iphone--how to move them off??

Hi,
I have an iphone 5S (updated to latest version of iOS) and a new macbook pro (retina), also updated. I have plugged my phone into iphoto (version 9.6) and it says all pictures are downloaded but there are over 1000 photos on my phone and 140 videos, too. How am i to bring these into iphoto if iphoto doesn't even see them???
Thanks,
A.

It should look like this:
But if you are seeing cloud icon beside the device name, you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone using your Mac. The delete button will be missing.
As to the number of photos and videos you are seeing on your iPhone.
In which albums do the photos and videos appear in the Photos.app on your iPhone?

Will a mid 2010 15" macbook pro not boot without the battery in it?

I have a 15" mid 2010 mabook pro with a swelled battery. I tried booting it without the battery in it and it would not power on. Is this by design or has my macbook been damaged?

Here are the Apple costs for a replacement battery:
iFixit sells Apple batteries, but the last time I looked, they were out of stock.
Recently on another post, it showed Apple batteries available through Amazon at favorable prices that appeared to be OEM quality. I suspect that these are gray market batteries but they may very well be satisfactory. I still say 'Caveat Emptor'.
If you do choose to go the third party route, you will need a #0 Triwing driver to install the battery.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro doesn't see my Ipad

Forgive if this has been posted elsewhere but i looked and could only find Ipod issues. All of a sudden my MacBook doesn't see my Ipad (1st generation). it just worked yesterday and I've done no updates and the cable is in working order. When i plug in the ipad to my laptop it doesn't even charge it. Can someone point in to a resolution other than the Genius Bar (not one in my country). sigh Thanks!!!

The reason i noted that it doesn't charge when plugged in my computer is to show that i don't think it is an itunes issue. i don't ever charge it on my computer but when i do sync it and it is plugged to my macbook, it it does show that it is charging.
That's great. I was just making a point. My iPad charges when plugged into my MacBook as well.
Did you think about updating iTunes or uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes? The most recent version of iTunes is 10.4.1. I just updated my version today - with much apprehension I might add - and it did in fact clear up a couple of issues that I was having with my iPad.
Don't give up!!!!
