MacBook Pro; problem with charge

My 2011 MacBook Pro was charging all night, but won't go above an hour and a half on the battery without it being plugged in. Even having it plugged in for an hour when it dropped to an hour left only brought it back up to an hour. It keeps saying calculating and then 1:30 and the time keeps dropping, even with Wi-Fi off, screen brightness down all of the way, and nothing opened. Usually when I take it to class with me it has a GOOD four hours (if not more) on the charge. Do I let it die and then fully recharge it when I get home from class?
Any help, advice, or past experience you would like to share I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you!

Hold the option key down and click the battery icon in the menu bar.
Does it say condition: Normal?
Do not let the battery run down.

Macbook Pro Problems with D-Link Router

My router D-link (Dl-624+A, model available in Asia) 802.11g/2.4 Ghz wireless router serves a G5 iMac, a G4 Aluminum Powerbook plus a Windows laptop and desktop. We have never experienced any problems with the network.
I have recently bought a 17" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz laptop (intel MBP) and have not been able, in any combination of modes, to join the network. A dialogue box simply says that there was an error trying to join the network.
I have no problems joining other wireless networks around town its so easy, just the one at home is the problem.
What is going on? Is there a fix? Thanks

Hi, my MacBook Pro can't connect to my D-Link DSL-G604T router via wireless too.
Airport can see my wireless connection and asks for the WEP password to connect. I put the password key in and an error pops up saying it cannot connect. I can connect via an Ethernet cable. Also, my previous system PowerBook G4 is able to connect via to the router via wireless, hence there is nothing wrong with my network.
Based on the suggestions from other threads, I tried to set my security to WPA instead of WEP. However, after I set my security to WPA, and tried to connect to my wireless network, the AirPort popup only gives me 4 options for the Wireless Security:
WEP Password
WEP 40/128-bit hex
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII
LEAP
There isn't an option to use WPA. Can anyone advise?

Macbook pro problem with spinning wheel

hello....i have a macbook pro 15" i7 and i have a problem with the spinning wheel of Mac os X. I am always seeing this spinning wheel. for example I open mail and safari at the same time and i get this spining wheel for 25 secondes...
any solutions????
please help me...

i open mail and then the activity and i saw that it was sending me password to find any new mails
Did it find any new mails? Or did it just sit there asking for a password?
then how can i see that my home page is set to one that fully loads accurately in my browser???
Find a website you like to visit that doesn't have problems loading. Google and Wikipedia and Apple's own website all should always work.
Go to Safari menu -> Preferences -> Click on the light switch for General.
There you will find a home page field where you can put that website you like.

MacBook Pro Problem with screws I think

So I recently saw my MacBook Pro casing lifting up and when I lifted up to look inside I saw the screw is attached to nothing. So I went on google and looked up the shell and there should be a slot where the screw on the left hand side screws into. I'm taking my Mac into a Apple Authorized Reseller to put a 500GB HDD and might ask them to fix it. Will they charge me as they charged me bloody 800 Bucks to replace a monitor and getting the hard drive done will cost around €260. So do you think they will fix it for free? Here are some pictures. Also I have Apple Care

Hope Apple gets it sorted out for you. Having computer problems (sort of like having car problems on a long road trip) is not much fun and very frustrating.
Thanks for leaving feedback in Apple Discussions by marking the "solved" post.

Macbook Pro problem with chip on motherboard

After 3 year working macbook pro begin to lag instantly without any reason. In the service master sad that the problem is connected with some chip on motherboard that couldn't be repaired.
Did somebody face the problem? What possible solution?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. Forget about the service master.

MacBook Pro Problem with Final Cut Studio

For some reason Final Cut Studio will not run on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It loads then disappear. The only version that worked was 5.0 but felt very slow so im thinking it was using rosetta. After reinstalling OSX hoping that would help. Still that didnt help. I installed 5.1 then used Apple Software Update to download all the update. All update was install but still nothing works. Well if this post seems similiar to someone else post please point me to the right place. any answer will help thanks. I've read the support CPU but didnt see any information on whether it support the Core 2 Duo.

no reason it shouldn't work, and work very well at that.
do none of the FCS apps work, or is it just FCP?
if you have just finished a full reinstall, then for good measure you should run Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/Dissk Utility
it may also be that the preference files are corrupted (try FCP Rescue http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ )
also try the prebinding thing ... see this post by Brian Conner http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3961108&#3961108 or the apple technote http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93984

Macbook Pro (Early 2011) charging problems

Hey Guys,
The Macbook Pro was bought in July of 2011 which is only a few months old .When I plug in my magsafe to charge the macbook pro it turns green, then orage to show that it is charging. However, after a few mintues of charging the orange LED light goes off and it stops charging, then the orange light comes on to charge for another few mintues then stops charging. I have been aren't to charge the macbook pro
Is the charger broken? I cant find or see anything tearing in the charging cable or anything broken with the power brick.
Thanks

First try resetting the SMC...
Reset SMC of a MacBook or MacBook Pro’s with an internal battery:
* Shutdown your MacBook/Pro
* Connect the power adapter to your Mac
* On the MacBook/Pro’s keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time
* Release all keys and the power button at the same time
* Boot your Mac as usual
Then try resetting the PRAM...
Resetting the PRAM
You reset the PRAM by rebooting a Mac and then immediately hold down theCommand+Option+P+R keys, you will then hear the Mac reboot sound again, signifying your PRAM has been reset. You must hit the key combination before the grey screen appears otherwise it won’t work.
If those two tricks fail, take the adapter and the laptop to the applestore. IMO it sounds like a battery issue and not a charger problem.

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys,
This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8. The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

My macbook pro will not charge. the charger blinks with a dim green light and the computer will not turn on

my macbook pro will not charge. the charger light is dim green and blinking.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.You may have a bad charger, battery, or worse.

My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it.

My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it. My battery will say "charged" then "not charging" and it goes back and fourth. It says "Power Source: Power Adapter". But when I use my pro it will loose the power source then reconnect a second later to it. This problem is getting annoying because I have to stop using my macbook pro to charge it.

Reset SMC.

If this does not help, contact Apple.
Best.
