can you please tell me whats wrong with my mbp and how do i resolve it

First check the connections on the power adapter and the MBP.  Make certain that they are clean and see if the spring loaded connectors on the power adapter are not stuck.
Try a SMC reset:

If available, try another power adapter.
If no success, bring the MBP and the power adapter to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

    When the charger is connected, it shows battery not charging as the status.

    If the battery % is above 95% it doesn't charge. Let it drop below 94.

  • My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

    My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge  and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

    Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
    If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price.  Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro 2012 Battery Not Charging

    I have this 1-year old MacBook Pro 13" 2012 model. It was working fine till one day, it decided to die, just like that. Now it shows "Battery Not Chaging, Condition: Replace Now". What do i do? It has done only 200 charge cycles. Resetting SMC/PRAM does not do anything, except that the fans run louder.
    What do I do now? Is there any fix (SMC Firmware Upgrade) or do I take it to a Service Center ? I want to avoid paying unnecessary money.

    Yes.  Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them check the MBP. The evaluation will be free.  If a new battery is required (which the 'Replace Now' indicates), then you should have one installed.  Though unlikely, there may be another issue that may not require replacement.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 battery not charging error code

    My Macbook Pro just turned 1 year old and the battery might be defective or dead ( Warranty just passed by ) it originally cam with Snow Leopard but I WEB upgraded to Lion (which was far from being easy ... had alot of crashes and hanging happening)
    I have the now infamous battery not charging problem. The OSX status bar shows the battery icon with a 'X' meaning no battery. I think the MacBook is not charging the battery because OSX doesn't see a battery.
    Today I just noticed that (IMPORTANT) with the power adapter connected, pressing the battery power level button displays a 5 blinks code. Otherwise with power adaptor not connected, the battery seems even too weak to light up even a single LED".
    Even though I do a proper shutdown, it is to note that the MacBook Pro starts right away when I plug the power adaptor. I starts right away without me even pressing the power button.
    Yerterday I really though the MacBook Pro was not going to work anymore, it kept abruptly shuting down again and again. I couldn't do any of the work I was supposed to.
    I did PRAM and SMC resets and eventually I was able to startup the MacBook Pro and do some work but the battery still remains unavailable.
    I have 2 of the same 85 Watt charger ( the first one being from a previous MacBook Pro 2008 --- which is waiting to get a repair ) and both performs the same: not charging.
    Maybe the battery discharged beyond the point it can be seen my the MacBook Pro and OSX. Just like car battery, if it get discharges way too much, you won't even see the nominal voltage on the terminals even without any load.
    EDIT: just noticed that even though it looks like no battery OSX reports that power source IS BATTERY (in the OSX status top bar )

    It's like mpg for a car. It depends upon how you drive, the weather, the terrain. "7 hours" doesn't mean anything. Your mileage will vary. If I am not doing anything I see 13 hours. As soon as I start surfing or watching a video it changes. Stop obsessing.

  • MacBook Pro (2007) battery not charging...

    MacBook Pro battery not charging... bought a new one, same problem. Any ideas?
    The problem seems to happen to more people at the moment, I know 2 guys who have the same problem.
    I guess it might be a software bug in Snow Leopard?
    ... or it's something like a "time-bomb" to make me buy a new one...

    I really don't think that the battery is the problem. But I asked them for replacement, just to be sure. I think its a software thing!!!!
    I had 2 batteries before and just bought this new third one, because the second wouldn't charge anymore.

  • Macbook pro turns off when taken off the power-cord, is the battery bad?

    For a while my MCP when I take it off the charger it doesnt hold the whole time as it should and the battery doesnt last long, and now the past couple days when i take my laptop off the power-cord it will stay on for five minutes then shut down. I dont know what is going on, maybe a bad battery? I got my computer august 2006 . These are my numbers.

    If your MacBook Pro is a core duo model you may have a bad battery and be elgible for a battery replacement. The batteries on the original core duo MacBook and MacBook Pro had the warranty extended and extra year. The details are in this link.

    Call Apple at the number in the link and explain your problem. You could also go into an Apple store and get help there.

  • New battery not charging and no power supply reported

    The battery for my G4 17inch powerbook had expired and a new one was needed. A brand new battery has been purchased and inserted into the machine. With the old battery the charger would go green then quickly amber before going off. With the new battery the light never comes on and in the battery info in the operating system it is listed as a new battery with 1 charge but the power supply section is not listing the power as connected. However with no batterys inserted the power supply will power and run the machine.
    Can anyone offer any advise of something I could try or is it likely to be a dead laptop / charging circuit?
    Thanks

    There's 4 components in the charging circuit: power adapter, DC-in card, battery, and logic board. If you can run on power without the battery, and does not run when you insert a battery, that suggests that the DC-in board may be OK. So ... power adapter works, assume DC-in card works, new battery assume it works ... if you accept those assumptions, then you have a logic board issue.

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

    About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

    short of doing a SMC reset, you maybe at their mercy.

  • My MacBookAir needs to be charged and the power cord is not lighting or charging

    My MacBook Air needs to be charged so I plugged it in as usual, but the green light on the cord is not on and it is not charging.  I have tried several plugs to no avail.  Does the charging cord wear out???

  • My Macbook Pro speakers aren't working and the headphone jack is emitting a red light when I try to play something with sound. HELP!

    The question says it all. It worked perfectly last night and stopped working this morning. A whole day has gone by and the speakers still don't work. I've plugged in headphones and that works.
    When I try to increase volume or decrease volume, it shows me the mute sign which makes no sense at all. When I try to unmute, it stays muted.
    HELP I'M ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING THIS P.O.S. LAPTOP

    SO I just now had the same problem. A million threads online suggested to try inserting headphones, toothpicks, or even qtips to try and switch the "switch" inside the headphone jack. Everyone had great results from using the toothpick method. Well that didn't work for me. here's what FINALLY WORKED!!--> I wrapped a toothpick in fashion tape (fashion tape is basically stretchy double sided tape. If you don't have any ask some girls and someone will have). My thought was that maybe this "switch" didn't need to be flicked or pushed like a button. Maybe it was stuck in like a button that has been pushed in. I used the sticky toothpick to pull up the button/switch. Basically, take the toothpick and pressdown on the switch (supposedly the botton is inside the jack at the 6 or 7-0clock position) and then press the toothpick away (so that you are pushing in the opposite direction [1-oclock]). do this multiple times so you're flicking the toothpick back and forth. Just make sure you press firmly enough in the 6-oclock position so the tape can get stuck to the button.
    Two tips for this method:
    1) I had tried a manicure q-tip first, which in hindsight could've cleaned out the headphone jack, facilitating a surface that can get stuck to the fashion tape effectively.
    2) You can see in the photo attached that I wrapped the tape on the toothpick a little past the edge so that there was extra tape on the end of the toothpick. That was (and this is just my theory) to make up for the fact that toothpicks have a tapered end. I figured that having this extra loose bit of tape at the end would allow me to reacch into any nook or crany of the headphone jack where this mysterious "button" might be lurking.
