MacBook Pro Retina - Battery Runtime not showing

Hi,
just got my brand new Retina MacBook pro and I LOVE IT. Only weired thing: the battery menu in the menu bar won't allow me to select the left runtime - it will only allow me to show the left percentage. This doesn't seem normal, any solutions?

It's normal.  Read the threads in the  "More Like This" column.  Or call Apple Care.  You're still under warranty.

  • My Macbook pro retina battery is not working

    Hello everybody,
    I kinda need help, maybe somebody here can give me an advice. I kinda destroyed my Macbook pro retina with coffé My father spilled the coffé on the table and the coffé went exactly inside the laptop. It didnt work but after complete and careful cleaning it works. (except the battery) Battery is not working at all, but interesting is, that I still can see the percentage of charge of the batery.
    In the authorised czech service they told me that they need to replace the whole battery (with the skelet of the laptop) so it is very expensive. But I believe that there is maybe some other way? Anybody can help me?
    Thank you very much
    Jakub

    I forgot... The percentage of the charge of the battery is moving now it is 9% but before it was more... 10%,11% etc...

  • My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers

    My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers. HP only has updates but not full drivers for Mountain Lion. Some articles say the compatibility might only allow me to print, but the scan feature won't work. I am attempting to use either my HP Color Laser 2840 and my HP Photosmart 209-B printers. I tried to reinstall the printer drivers, but HP doesn't have drivers to download for Mountain Lion OS.
    Anyone else have this issue?

  • Macbook Pro Retina battery not charging

    Hello, when I loaded up my Macbook pro Retina today (4 months old) I noticed the battery wasn't charging and the power logo says power source: adaptor, I have tried SMC reset but that hasn't fixed the problem, need some advice as to what to do now?
    Thanks
    Ben

    What % is the battery at?  If it's at 95% and above, it won't charge.  It must get lower to charge.  If it was lower than that and it won't charge no matter what, you'll need to contact AppleCare because you can't service that laptop yourself for this issue if it is a bad battery.

  • How to protect Macbook pro retina battery?

    Hello guys,
    I would like if someone could help me and give me tips for protecting the battery life for macbook pro retina, as I work for long hours on my macbook for about 8 hours so i keep it plugged on and from what I heared that it affects the macbook battery life. What is the good things to do in order to keep the battery live longer.

    Keep it plugged in whenever possible.
    If you keep it plugged in all the time, make sure that at least twice a month run it on
    battery until the battery charge level drops to about 50 to 40%.
    Do not let the battery charge run down to 0%.
    That will affect battery health negatively.

  • Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

    Hello,
    Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
    I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
    Thanks,
    FF

  • MacBook Pro retina 2013 do not start and no light on the magsafe

    Hello
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 13' core i5 2.5 8gb ram
    My mac was open, connect to the sector with full power. I left it the time to lunch and when i came back maybe 2 hours after my mac was off, and no light on the magsafe.
    Impossible to start it.
    I tried the key sequence, nothing worked.
    I used the magsafe of a friend who have the same model, i had i green light for 10s before it turn slowly off. and nothing worked too.
    One of my neighbor on the same building, had the same problem at the same time, computer open (not a mac) and it turn off impossible to start it, he had to disconnect/reconnect the battery to solve the problem.
    May it be a power surge?
    Did i need to open it and disconnect the battery on the motherboard?
    Thank you for your help.

    A Few things to try if you haven't already:
    1. Try unplugging the charger from both the wall and from your MacBook Pro. Now, make sure the powerpoint the MacBook was connected to works by plugging it in any electrical appliance you have. After unplugging the test electrical appliance and verifying that everything is OK with the electrical source, wait a minute or two and just plug the charger back into your MacBook and the powerpoint.
    2. A possible problem could be a MagSafe port not working correctly. Look for any kind of debris inside the port that might prevent it from connecting the power adapter correctly to your MacBook. On the adapter, take a quick look at the DC connector for any type of debris and carefully check if any of the pins are missing, are bent, or stuck down.
    3. Try a quick restart. Just press CMD CTRL ALT EJECT For about 5 seconds.
    4. Try CMD, CTRL and POWER for about 5 seconds.
    5. If none of this works, my last suggestion is removing the battery connecters and power supplies ect and holding the power button for a few seconds and reconnecting everything.

  • MacBook Pro late 2013 does not show login window after waking from sleep

    MacBook Pro late 2013 does not always prompt for login, but opens directly to desktop, even though security settings are setup to prompt for password after 5 minutes. Up to now, this only has happened on battery, machine goes to sleep or lid is closed, 10 minutes pass, lid is opened and desktop is shown instead of lock screen. Console shows, that the machine was actually sleeping (10 min no log entries) and also does not show any error in regards to login window.
    This behaviour occurs randomly and I could not track down any root cause/behaviour, yet. Sometimes everything behaves as it should.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
    I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
    I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    We'll see if it helps.
    It happens toughly a couple of times a week.

  • Late 2013 macbook pro retina battery question

    I just bought the new macbook pro retina 2013 (first macbook!) I wanted to know what I can do to extend the life of the battery. Right know, I start charging the battery once it gets to about 60%. I keep the charger plugged in when im at home and left the battery discharge at uni. Would doing this having any advatange or disadvantage for the battery?
    Also once the battery reaches 100%, would it overcharge if it is kept plugged in? or would it just start to use the power from the adapter instead of the battery
    Anyother tips?
    Thanks

    Look at these links.  They will provide you with all the information you need regarding MBP
    batteries:

    csupinski is 100% correct, the OS will not allow the MBP battery to be overcharged.

  • Windows 7 on MacBook Pro Retina late 2013. Showing popup window as "Windows detected a hard disk problem"

    I have installed Windows 7 64 bit version in my MacBook Pro Retina(13") late 2013 model . It was working fine from last 8 months but recently popup window showing as "Windows detected a hard disk problem" once login. Please check the following image.
    I have contacted Apple Support team. They have tested the hard disk while booting from Mac OS and all the reports showing as hard disk is fine. Then I thought might be it was some virus and removed the Bootcamp partition and re-installed Windows 7 Operating System. But once updated Windows 7 with latest updates. This message showing again.
    Would you please help me out to fix this issue. Anybody faced similar issue?

    No I think that all drive are really on failure
    I've boot with an ubuntu livecd and smartmontools see also the failure.

    When I use the Mac disk tools from the startup menu, it see also the problem.
    Now the big question is : Why I've this type of issue with 2 MBA and 1 Macbook pro 15".
    Their configurations are the same : windows 7 with truecrypt.
    Maybe Windows drastically reduces the lifetime of the Apple SSD drive.
    The 3 Mac are used for less than 6 month !!!!

  • Macbook Pro retina 13" fan not spinning

    Hi, I have had my macbook pro retina 13" (late 2013 model) since november, it had a fan problem after a month, where it made a horrible whirring noise and according to istat just wasnt spinning. This was independent of tempeartures for example 0rpm at 25 degrees and still 0rpm at 55 degrees, obviously it began to heat up rapidly after even just mld usage.
    Took it back to apple and they cleaned the fan and the problem cleared up, however a few months later it has started again, surely this can't just be dirt build up seeing as the fan has been cleaned already and the computer is only 4/5 months old.
    I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, if they solved it, or just whether I should take it back to apple.
    Many Thanks

    There are no bits you can flip to straighten this out.
    Take it back to Apple, remind them they already cleaned it and suggest maybe they should replace it this time.
    Apple is unique in the way they run their repairs. They are not trying to squeeze every penny out of you the way the car dealers are. They mostly want you to be a happy customer.
