MacBook Pro goes black, shows low battery even when battery is fully charged

Since updating last night via the App Store Software Update, my MacBook Pro Retina screen has been fading to black. Power is fully charged but when I press the power button, the battery-plugin to power source icon appears. I'm like, what??? My battery is charged! I plugged in my battery charger just to get the machine back to working again. It's never done this before. I'm blaming this new software update!

Same problem. Just sitting beside me on the table occasionally the screen light up for no reason flashing the red low battery screen. Pressing home, power, etc a few times brings the phone up and shows the true battery charge which is wherever it would normally be - from full to partial discharge depending on how much Ive used it. Seems to not really be indicating something with the battery but ore of a random phantom ghost bug in the OS somewhere that displays that screen for no reason.

Macbook Pro 17 shuts down in minutes even when battery is full

Hi, this has been going on for a while, i took it to a Apple Service Center in Barcelona Spain with a friend who had the same problem, well, her MBP turned back on with a black screen and they replaced the video card for free, and when they looked at mine they said it was not the video card Apple recalled that was a problem but the battery, DVD player, they basically described the logic board which is what they replaced on my friends but refused to service it even though i have several years or some time left now, i got it in Sept 2006.
Anyone know if there is a solution or recall on this problem please do advise.

If we're talking about the MBP 3,1, then you could not have bought it in September 2006 because it was first released in June 2007. If you actually bought it in September of 2007 and have 3 year Applecare, you should still be covered, even if your logic board etc. problems are not the ones in the NVIDIA program. I know, because I have exactly the same MBP bought in September 2007.
Is it possible that the Apple Service Center was not aware that you had 3 year Applecare? The NVIDIA program is good for 3 years after the purchase of the computer, even if there is no 3 year Applecare. If they thought you were out of warranty (or if you actually are) then there wouldn't be coverage for anything other than the NVIDIA problem.
Did they diagnose a battery problem? If so, the cure may be a new battery. Check in the System Profiler and see what it says.
Even if you are under warranty, they will likely not replace the battery for you unless it is clearly defective.
Good luck!
Thanks for corrrecting the year, yes your right about it, its a 3,1
The apple service place claimed that there was nothing wrong with the video card, they said that the problems was the DVD player, BT, battery and possibly the logic board itself but for that they would have to charge to test further, the test was free and the bill was over 500 euros, sounds un fair to me.
Me and a friend have identical computers and both had identical symptoms, the only difference between them on the day we took them there was that i have a USA keyboard and she has a Spanish one, my battery is a bit bloated on one side as well, but even after putting her battery in mine and seen that it still shut off in ten seconds after unplugging the mag-safe the apple care store only slapped me a bill for 500 euros in parts which they replaced in hers due to damages from the video card and telling me it is up to apple to authorize this recall and they probably will not until it dies like hers, so i said in the meantime your asking me to keep replacing parts on my expense that that where damaged from something your recalling even though you know why it happened in the fist place and acknowledged it publicly by offering a recall program.
Its scaring me know, i am forcing myself to use it more so the screen dies before its too late if its not already, i would like them to replace the parts they tested faulty with the acceptance that the battery since it still works but looks fat on one side.
The best part is the dvd player still burns and plays dvds, and bt works.

Macbook Pro goes black while I am using it

Hi,
My macbook pro sometimes goes black suddenly, even while I am using it, as if it were going to sleep.
Tapping any key then wakes the macbook up and I can use it as per normal again.
Anyone knows why it goes to sleep just like that?
Thanks!

Any device with magnets nearby?

Macbook Pro 13" won't turn on even when plugged in and battery in "good health".

It started the day before yesterday: My husband called to tell me that the Macbook wasn't turning on. So I told him to hook it up to the charger and plug it in; according to him, the charger light was on but the laptop still wouldn't power on. Then I told him to hold down the power butten for a couple of seconds (about 5 or more) then release it; again, it still wouldn't power on.
When I arrived home, I took it to a friend and had him take a look at it. (There are no Apple stores on Guam and I bought my laptop from a military base in the States, so I couldn't just "take it to the store".) He opened it up, disconnected and reconnected the battery, resecured the back panel, and plugged it back in. The Macbook powered on. At that time, he suggested downloading the Battery Health App and following the instructions to calibrate my battery gauge - which I did. By the time I finished calibrating the battery, the stats indidcated that my Battery Healthy was still pretty good (92.something %). Afterward I did poked around a few forums (including Apple) and found a few threads suggesting to reset the SMC; so I did (using the instructions for the Macbooks with the built-in batteries: Shut down laptop, plug in the charger and hook it up to a powersource, press option+control+shift+power button at the same time then release, and the press the power button). After all that trouble, the laptop still remains down.
After being misled by the Battery Health App, I'm wondering if it's just a case of "dead battery".

The MBP should work with the power adapter connected.
Put your serial number of your MBP in the entry field in this web site:
http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
This will provide you with the exact model MBP information. The OS that you show (which may be incorrect) indicates that it is Tiger. If that is the case, the SMC that you performed was using the wrong directions. This way we may be able to clarify this situation.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro 2011 slow at low battery

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and when the battery gets to around 15% all applications seem to slow down. After about a minute of being plugged in everything runs smoothly again. Is this normal? Is it just trying to save power by slowing down processors?

I should have been more explicit. My intent was not to suggest the the MBP should be connected to the AC outlet 100% of the time. If conditions permit, use the AC connection, if not use it under battery power. If you have had the MBP connected to the AC outlet for 4-6 weeks, then do disconnect it and run it with battery power to a 30% - 40% discharge level and the proceed with a charge back up to 100%.
All batteries deteriorate and discharge over the course of time regardless of whether they are being used or not. Chronological maximum battery life will be achieved by minimal to moderate battery usage. I have a replaceable battery in my old MBP that is about 4 years old and is and is a 91% health. The newer MBP has the original battery and in 19 months of usage is at 96% health. I may not achieve the number of cycles that Apple advertises, but I am confident that I will get at least 5+ years service from them.
Certainly there may be situations where an AC connection is not readily available and the cycle count will accumulate quickly and the battery life will be shortened as a consequence. (ex. a student in classroom environment) Such situations are the reason why we have battery powered MBPs, but if you discharge a battery totally every day, it will need to be replaced well within three years of service.

Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

Macbook Pro Late 2008 not recognizing battery and not charging

Hello
i really need some help please
i have a Macbook pro 15" Late 2008 running os x 10.7.4
i will say briefly how did the problem begin and what is the problem
it stopped charging for some reason the magsafe light was (and still is) dim green and at the battery icon it said not charging but after a couple of hours that it was turned off and connected i found out it is charging really slowly
later on that week
i was using an app called DSLR remote connected to my camera i left my macbook on the table outside connected via usb to my camera waited on it and came back
when i came back my mac was out of battery
i took it in hook it up to the magsafe nada nothing not charging dim light
so what i did i knew my magsafe charger is ready to be changed so i bought a new one
tried it same problem
later on did an smc reset
it did turn on biw the fans are really loud the battery icon (x) and it said no batteries available
so i tried my old fastly drained battery it used to hold up about 1-2 hours then i bought another battery but that was in the past
so i tried both batteries smc reseting with both same result
the smcfancontrol app says fan speed 000 rpm and temoerature 0 C
and one more thing when the mac is off and not connected to the magsafe i click on the battery indicator light on the left side i get a flashing light (battery empty needs to be charged) when i connect the magsafe it stops working even when its off and while its just connected
so it is and SMC problem
it has been like that for the past 4 weeks or so
i really need some help
and im from israel so no apple genius bars around =_= and i have a good technical knowledge
Sincerely, Sari Hassoun

its not about solving or not its about trying to
i understand nobody wants to make any harm to my macbook
thats reasonable
anyway its a hardware faliure of some sort i'll need to check it my self but now im almost sure its not software because i've tried many things
my other option is to run it off a battery
the thing is my battery is out so when its attached the battey indicator lights do work (they are controled by the SMC) that might solve it too
thanks for replying really
its appreciated

HT1379 My macbook pro 2013 is running to slow even when I am using the keyboard, it running with a delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still slow what can i do to fix it.

Good morning I am confronting serious problems with my Macbook pro 2013, that is runing to slow, even when I am writing this email is running with some kind of delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still running slow . Please let me know what I can do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance. Fernando

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec bash
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My macbook model 7.1 will not start up unless connected to power supply even when it is fully charged. Does anyone know the cause of this?

I have a 4 year old MacBook 7.1 that has worked wonderfully until today. I went to turn on my computer and it would not do so until it had been plugged into the power supply, and it was fully charged. Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this? DO I need to take it to an apple repair tech? Thanks

Hello ssamaro13,
I definitely understand your concern with your battery not powering your MacBook when the power adapter is disconnected. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
The first thing I recommend is resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include 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 SMC.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If your battery is still not powering the computer when disconnecting the power adapter, the next thing I recommend is troubleshooting your MagSafe adapter using the steps in this article:

My iPod automatically turns off, even when it is FULLY charged!!! :(

Before I go to school, I let my iPod charge over night so then on my way to school && back I can listen to it.
It's FULLYcharged and after I listen to 2 or 3 songs it just turns off. Somtimes it says "low battery pleaese connect to computer". (Remember, it's still fully charged!)Even when I turn it back on it eventually does it again.
What's wrong!

Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.

MUSIC PLAYS AT A SLOWER BEAT EVEN WHEN IPOD IS FULLY CHARGED.

THE MUSIC IN MY IPOD NANO 4TH GENERATION IS PLAYING AT A SLOWER SPEED EVEN WHEN THE IPOD IS FULLY CHARGED. THE MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DYING. IS MY IPOD DYING? NEED HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod shut off and wont turn back on even when its been fully charged, and it was working perfectly fine 4 hours ago. What do I do?

I don't know what happened as it was working perfectly fine, and all of a sudden it shuts off and even when I pressed down on the on and home buttons at the same time, it wouldn't turn on. I don't know what to do.
