  • My MacBook Pro, even when connected to the power chord, will turn on for a few seconds then shut back off. Any ideas on what is wrong?

    I Am trying to turn on my MacBook Pro laptop, but when I do, it starts to turn on for a few seconds then shuts off again. It has around 80% charge and even if the power chord is connected it won't turn on. Need some help because I am out of the US right now and there are not a Mac store or anything that I could go to.

    HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

  • New Macbook Pro 15 -when i remove the power charger the computer shuts down

    Hello,
    I just bought my new macbook pro 15 inch from my campus store (first mac- finally converted from pc) and i was loving it.
    Then it randomly shut down. so i try to turn it back on... no response. so i plug in the charger and boots up so i forgot about it but then when i took the charger out it shuts down again. and when the charger is in the battery status is saying that its not charging. Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery then if it keeps doing the same thing call Apple and make an appointment for them to take a look at it.

  • Please give us the option to turn off vibration when plugging phone into power!!!

    Ok you're married, you're up later than your spouse, you creep into the bedroom, eventually you manage to put the little connector in to charge overnight.... then BRRRRR BRRRRR a "silent" vibration that is so loud it wakes up your spouse. So Apple what is the explanation for not allowing us to turn this off? I'm guessing you want that satisfying vibration safe in the knowledge the phone is getting power, except it's annoying as **** plus the screen turns on anyway and floods the room with light. Why do I need 2 methods of confirmation that the phone is getting power.

    I would imagine, if your spouse is such a light sleeper, you've got your phone on mute or DND at night anyway. Change the setting back in the morning. Or, charge the phone in another room. Or buy your spouse earplugs.

  • MacBook Air and Pro buzz when connected to French Power

    My MacBook Air and Pro laptops buzz in a pronounced way when plugged into French power sources (Martinique, Paris, Aix-en-Provence).  They are American computers, and I use the adapters from the Apple World Traveler kit.  Sometimes I use a regular wall adapter when I want to use the extension cord, as World Traveler doesn't allow this.  The computers work fine, but I'm in French territory a lot and I worry that the buzz, which only happens when the computers are plugged in, is doing some long-term damage.  I feel the buzz the most when touching the computers very lighly.  Thanks~

    Sounds like your adapter is not earthing properly? Change it ASAP.
    Might be worth picking up a pukka French power supply if you are over here a lot too.

  • Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

    Just like the title says, my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 running 10.8.2 freezes for an averge of 15 seconds whenever I plug anything into the USB ports. It varies depending on what is plugged in. Phones, both iPhone and Android make it freeze for about 15 seconds, USB drives are usually just a couple seconds. I dont even know where to begin when trouble shooting this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. When I plug in any usb device I get a short freeze of the pc for about 5 seconds. During my tests, I noticed that the freezing starts from the first time that i move the touchpad. It means that if I plug the usb device and I move the touchpad after 30 seconds, I get the freazing from that time for 5 seconds. if I continue to move the touchpad while I plug in the usb I don't get any freeze. Moreover, I noticed that if in the meantime that I plug in the usb I move the touchpad without any interruption, I don't get any freezing.
    I don't know if the problem could be related to the touchpad or not... Help!!!

  • My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook.  All software is up to date.  iTunes just gives me an error.  No problems when plugged into a PC.  Why the nonstop vibrating!?

    When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
    Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
    Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
    In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
    If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
    I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • New macbook pro fail to respond to the power button

    Why did my new macbook pro fail to respond to the power button?
    I have a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina (10.9.1) which I have been using for about 3 weeks. I am new to Mac and am in the process of making the transition from Windows XP.
    Today, with the battery at 100% and the power lead disconnected, I left the mac with the lid closed but, when I returned, it did not come back to like when I opened the lid. Also, it would not respond to the power button.
    After some web searching, I managed to get it back to life after resetting the SMC.
    Is this a software problem, or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?

    Highly unlikely that software is involved - especially since resetting the SMC corrected the problem.
    Unless it happens again, I would forget it. If it occurs again, take it in for warranty service.

  • Macbook Pro crashes when running on battery

    Hi.
    My Macbook Pro crashes when running in battery. It seems it doesn't happen when connected to the power.
    Is there any way to know if it's a battery malfunction?
    Because Apple changed the motherboard a month ago or so because Nvidia broke. So it could be also the connector to the battery?
    Is there any tests I can run?
    Thanks

    I would take it back to Apple and have them check it. You may have got a replacement logic board with a problem. Apple usually use rebuilt ones.

  • MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem

    My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).

    MacBook Pro 1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

  • I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preference, the external speakers option does not appear in the Input tab. Help?

    I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preferences, the external speakers option does not appear on the input tab and, of course, the external speakers do not work. Help?

    When you plug headphones in, or external speakers, where it states "internal speakers", it will rename that "headphones", say. Unless you are running an external sound card.

  • Is Macbook Pro can be plug in to 240 volts AC current?

    Is Macbook Pro can be plug in to 240 volts AC current?

    Not the computer, but the power adaptor. It auto-switches between 110 and 220 v systems. A wall outlet plug adaptor may be required in other countries.

  • MacBook Pro (late 2011) suddenly won't power up

    Was working with my MacBook Pro this evening, initially on battery power. Switched to AC when the battery was at 60%. An hour later it was nearly fully charged and I closed the laptop (without shutting down) and took it with me to a restaurant. Got back to work, opened the MBP up and...no power. MagSafe light flickers faintly; no battery indicators light when I hit the battery strength button. Tried an SMC reset and a PRAM reset to no avail. All this while I'm in a foreign country doing a project with a tight deadline.
    I'm going to attempt to see an Apple reseller in the morning, but does anyone have further troubleshooting or diagnostic suggestions? Thanks.

    The Mac Pro logic board includes a set of LEDs to help troubleshoot the
    computer. The LEDs are located toward the rear of the logic board, under the memory cage, next
    to PCI card slot 1. You can view these LEDs by removing the computer’s side access panel and
    looking through the memory cage to the logic board below. LEDs 2, 3, 4, and 5 are normally off
    and will automatically illuminate if an error occurs. To read LEDs 1, 6, 7, and 8, you must press the
    DIAG_LED button, which is adjacent to the LEDs. To press the DIAG_LED button, use the nylon
    probe tool.

  • What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

    When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

    I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
    I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
    It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
    So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
    I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

  • Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

    Hi Guys,
    Good day to you all!
    I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
    What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
    I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
    I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
    Best regards,
    Aris

    It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea.   But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac.    The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one.    Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless.   If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for.   Do get AppleCare before it is a year old.  That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.
