Macbook Pro Retina not charging, please help!
I recently plugged in my charger, and the green light did not come on. I then clicked on the battery at the top of the screen and it says that it is plugged in but not charging but that the power source is the power adapter. Right now my computer is stuck at 14% when plugged in. Please help!
This is the available inoformation on my battery from my computer.

If anyone could help that would be amazing!!
I've noticed the same thing on my 13" rMBP. Plug in the MagSafe 2, and sometimes the light comes on instantly. Sometimes there is a 20 second delay before the charging indicator kicks in. And occasionally, the light has turned off hours after it has been on for awhile.
Anyone else seeing this issue? If it is widespread, it could just be a firmware update to fix.

<Edited by Host>Hi sdennisonta,
If you are having an issue with charging your MacBook Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
If the battery appears to be working correctly you may want to see if the issue lies with your power adapter. Use the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My macbook pro is not booting, please help me :(
hello,
my macbook pro is not booting in OS X, it displays the apple logo and the spinning wheel, but a circle with a cross appears and the spinning wheel continues, please guys, help me
P.S: my MBP is boot campedWell, sometimes you can gain access to the drive from another Mac connected to your computer via Firewire cable. It's called Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Or you already have backups. If you don't then you should consider a backup strategy to avoid this the next time it happens.
There are too many reasons for a drive to become corrupted within the normal course of use. A most common cause is abnormal shutdowns from power outages or not using the normal shutdown procedure because of a system lockup. Software glitches happen or you may be using software that is poorly written, and on and on.
If don't have backups:
Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -

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.

My macbook pro will not charge or turn on. When I plug in the charger nothing happens and the light doesn't turn on. What can I do?
Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on -
My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?
The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs.
You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters.
But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing. It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

After you have backed up your data, open System Profiler>Power and post the following from your MBP:

Macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging
macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging
This isn't reference in any of the online support material that I've seen. Do you have a link to support this? Just curious is all.
I had a similar issue on my wife's '09 MBP. Initially I thought it was the battery seeing as it's an older machine, but we tried resetting the SMC (after a bunch of other suggestions) and that seems to have done the trick. -

Macbook Pro Retina 15" charging slowly
My macbook pro retina was bought in august 2012, and yesterday it just started having charging/battery problems. All of a sudden when I plugged my computer in to charge it got REAL slow and said my estimated time until my battery was full was over 20 hours. I tried resetting SMC etc. and it seemed to change the estimated time, but it still seems slow, and now my battery life seems short. I'm not sure what to do, if I can do anything about it or if my battery is just dying all of a sudden. If you know anything please help!!!
Thank you!!This is what it gave me(i took off the serial num and stuff):
