Magsafe Charger not charging - when it lights up may not work

I started experiencing this a few weeks ago. Since then I have gone through 2 adapters.
The magnet works and everything, but it doesnt light up, and where that battery is up there it doesn't show any signs of recognition.
I have to wiggle it a little bit and apply some pressure to get it working.
Even then, it still sometimes doesn't work. It'll be green and say "Not Charging".
It doesn't always do that though. Sometimes it will charge. I have a new battery (from around christmas time) so it cant be the battery... i wouldn't think anyways.
Another thing, is when I get it charging, I have to lay it perfectly still. One little tiny bump or something will cause the light to go off and stop charging. I've cleaned the magsafe part and the part it lpugs into the computer. I have the same problem.
On the "About this Mac" thing, here are my stats (*NOTE this is with the magsafe adapter in, but not working):

I had the same pin problem as many here. My neutral pin (outer most) stop pushing out, I can turn the plug upside down and the pin falls into place. Take a bit of wiggling to get it to charge the computer. This is a new magsafe, only 4 weeks old. I had to have my other one replaced because the exact same pin did the exact same thing again.

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

    The 'Do Not Email' when sharing a Document does not always allow a check mark to be entered.
    Just wanted to report this. I have not checked to see if it has been previously submitted. The issue
    is intermittent.

    I think this happens because you need to send e-mail when you do the first contact with the user. Tellimg him who you are and etc.
    When you already "know" that user, u can check the box.
    Hope it helps,

  • I keep getting a display message saying this cable or accessory is not capitiable with this apple product may not be reliable with this iphone even when i have no cable or accessory in use

    My iphone 5 has been saying this for days now. Yes I have recently purchased a motorola ear piece for easy talking while walking, but i have also used a 10ft cord purchased at walmart for months now and no display before the motorola. now even without anything plugged in ,I still get the display message on my phone saying" the cord or accessory is not capitable with this iphone and may not be reliable with this iphone.
    what DO I do ?! is there something I can do without going to either Sprint or Apple for help.... will this be damaging to my iphone ?! HELP before its too late.
    sincerely,
    Apple lover JAJA

    Try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    CAUTION - This may get rid of the warning for now, but the issue the warning points out still remains.  One or both of your cables is certainly suspect.

  • The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

    I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
    I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
    I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

    I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
    After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.

  • Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

    I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
    "The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
    There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Pro
    Captivate Version 6.1.1.240
    Intel Core i5 25-20 CPU @ 2.5 Ghz
    4 GB RAM
    32-Bit Operating System
    If anyone knows why this issue has presented itself and how we can get around it, much would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
    I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
    Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
    Also what operating system you have on your system?
    Thanks!

  • Other members not responding when a clustered member is not reachable

    We have an product that uses Coherence 3.3 we have cluster 5 members.
    We are finding that if for whatever reason a cluster member is down or unresponsive (eg doing a garbage collection) the other members are then trying to do some work to compensate, which leaves them not responding to requests. The nodes have been configured in a unicast mode so each node has been specified in the configuration.
    Examples we've seen:
    1) member 3 does a stop the world gc all other members pause - we see the following in the logs on all other members
    2009-12-31 00:20:18.291 Oracle Coherence EE 3.3/387 <Warning> (thread=PacketPublisher, member=6): Experienced a 1982 ms communication delay (probable remote GC) with Member(Id=1, Timestamp=2009-12-30 16:01:26.85, Address=172.29.4.16:8090, MachineId=46352, Location=process:27758@and-msg4); 30 packets rescheduled, PauseRate=0.0030, Threshold=901
    In this instance we had a pause of 19 seconds.
    Can we configure the nodes to not wait if communication to member is not possible. How?
    2) Take a single node down during the day (off peak hours) The other members start logging a lot of coherence debugging which I've been told not to worry about, but during this period the applicatiokn is not processing requests and causes timeout to the calling servers.
    When a member is removed from the cluster what are the other nodes doing (redistributing cache?)? How can we minimise the fallout from this so that we can handle this more gracefully.
    I would be grateful for any help and any useful links to documentation. It may well be that our configuration is incorrect as we leave most things as the default values. I could do with some pointers on where to start looking and which parameters to tweak as there seem to be quite a few.
    Regards

    What can we do to minimise this?
    Edited by: user12406699 on 04-Jan-2010 07:31

    Hi there thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I understand that the pause during the gc will be helped by ensuring they are as short as possible. I have tinkered with the CMS parameters and I think our old was becoming very fragmented and therefore hitting the point where a stop the world occurred. I have limited the number of threads and increased the heap space. After a couple of days we are seeing that the concurrent garbage collector is doing work more frequently but with no stop the worlds. So I think issue 1 has will be resolved by this.
    2) This issue still exists. When we stop tomcat server for one of the nodes we see a pause and lots of debug messages from coherence during this time the other node are no longer processing requests as we can see the number of running requests increase and the time to respond increases as well across the node. Because of the amount of traffic we are recieving our clients soon timeout.
    Going over the sugestions
    a) graceful shutdown of the cluster node
    How? Currently we stop traffic being driven to the node and then stop tomcat. Is there a way to also gracefully stop node being apart of the cluster??
    b) Set <timeout-milliseconds>
    I don't quite understand the documentation for this setting
    "Default value is 60000.
    Note: For production use, the recommended value is the greater of 60000 and two times the maximum expected full GC duration."
    So we will be currently using the default. To me 60 seconds sounds very high for a production timeout which makes me think that this is not what I had in mind. Is there anything in the configuartion that may help?
    Regards

  • Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

    WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?!  This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told  "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

        Hello NotHappy101,
    I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
    Thanks,

  • What do I do when it says accessory may not be supported

  • Page not found when connecting to server (if not logged in on server)

    Hi,
    When we try to connect to the presentation server (http://esddev02:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard) we get a page not found error if I don't open a remote desktop connection session on the server first.
    I suppose the problem originates in the fact that the installation of the software has been done with my credentials on the server.
    The windows services start with 'Local System' as logon but the OC4J seems to start only when I log on with my user.
    I don't see a reason for this as in the registry the OC4J start command is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
    Changing this to "D:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin\oc4j.cmd -start& " did not change anything.
    Has somebody got a clue?
    Tx for any advice,
    Kris

    Hi,
    I checked further on this today. Problem is not solved yet. I need to find a way to start the OC4J server independent from my session on the server.
    Has anybody got some advice?
    Brgrds,
    Kris

  • Firefox will not launch when I click the icon, it worked okay previously

    A week ago firefox began taking a long time to launch sometimes requireing reclicking the icon.
    Now it will not launch at all.
    I get no error messages, nothing happens when I click the icon.
    HELP

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
