Magsafe freaks, charging to not charging every few seconds

My computer has done this before but until recently wasn't bothersome. When my laptop is plugged in, the magsafe goes from green to orange and back rapidly. About every three to two seconds. The menu bar also changes with the light, going from charging to not-charging. Could this because the battery I have is real crappy? Its charge lasts for 15 minutes max, and charge time is the normal hour and half. Is there a work around for this? Anybody else have these issues?

given that your charger works perfectly fine without the battery it's 98% safe to say it's the battery .. I had dying batteries act almost the same on me before ..because the battery cells communication is not properly handled with the charger of the logic board, you get this happening .there is 2% chance it could be the logic board as well but given the condition of the battery and the behaviour without the battery I'd say is just very unlikely .. there is no chance this is a software issue
hope I could shine some light

My macbook isn't charging continuously. It goes between 'charging' to 'not charging' every few seconds. What could be the problem?

Try a SMC reset:

Have you checked the connections from the power adapter to the MBP? Note the pins in the power adapter are spring loaded. See if they are free. Are the connections discolored?
Have you checked the battery status? Open System Profiler or System Information and look at this display:

Flash CS6 not responding every few seconds.

I've been working on a few animation projects for the past few days, and Flash CS6 always tends to show the spinning blue wheel and white screen for like 10 seconds. This is very irritating. I would probably be done with the project by now if it weren't for this bug.
Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Nvidia GeForce GT 540m
8gb ram
Intel Core i7
Thanks in advance.

I'm also having this problem. Every now and then (probably with a 5-10 min interval) Flash CS6 freezes for 10 or more seconds. The larger the Flash-file, the longer it freezes. I've turned off the auto-recovery mode, I'm not working on a file that's in a network folder (like Dropbox, since I heard somebody had trouble with this), and I've quit all programs. Still freezes. I've also got all the latest updates.
It's very annoying, and I think I would've been able to work a lot more if this weren't happening all the time. Perhaps I'll try to import all of the content into a new file?
Any know solutions?
I'm on a late 2009 iMac:

HT201412 My iPhone 4S stops charging a few seconds after being connected to the USB, it will, however, charge when it is switched off.

iPhone stops charging a few seconds after being connected to a USB slot, it will charge when switched off is I think it must be a software issue.

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.

My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. does not happen with any other streaming video service.

my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. This does not happen with any other streaming video service. I have restarted and rebooted already.

I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

My 4s iphone will not restart. It also pings every few seconds when plugged in.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

String of bad luck, caps lock is flashing once every few seconds

So lets start off with the beginning of the bad luck, first i was watching a youtube video and deicided to go make a snack b/c i was hungry, when i came back my compuuter had shut itself off, overheating wasnt uncommon so i checked the how hot the computer was over the processor and it was coo and not hot at all, so i turned it back on, and i didnt get a thermal shutdown message, so i was a little confused and started checking for the error, the first thing was the power, in which it said "9% availiable(plugged in, not charging)" so i first made sure it was plugged in and everything a bit confused, still did it, and then i googled it, and apparently i had to uninstall the apci from device manager, so i did the ~11 step solution that had helpe so many people, and then it still was like that, so then i used the HP assistant to check my battery, and i needed to replace it, but on the way i noticed i had "system updates" and such i was bummed i had to get a new battery(To put it simply, im poor) and decided to update my system at the very least, maybe the HP assistant was wrong and after the update the battery would register as good again, with little hopes on that(i knew that the chance was near 0%) i updated, and one of the updates were BIOS updates, so half way through downloading my sister decided to power-cycle our router, as our router is a pretty bad router and every now and then our internet would slow to the point of pretty much being non-existant, so then my computer resets i get a black screen and capslock starts blinking twice, i use my issters computer to google it, my BIOS is corrupt, so i use windows + b + the power button, to try and restore my BIOS, during it flushing my computer overheats, and now when i turn it on its a black screen with the capslock blinking once every few seconds, i havnt been able to find a fix, can anyone help me? also i should mention the tag on my HP is worn out pretty bad i can barely salvage any info off it which is pretty bad, all i know is that its an hp pavilion G4 with AMD radeon GPHX, and 8mb of memory

MacBook Pro freezes every few seconds

Hi All,
My two year old MacBook Pro started freezing randomly one day. It happens with any application that I have open (Safari, Word, Finder), I get the beach ball every few seconds for any operation I try doing. When the cursor comes back I have seen spikes of CPU usage and the relevant program also shows as 'Not Responding'.
I have tried everything, PRAM/SMC resetting, hardware test, disk repair etc. The latest being a clean install of Mavercks. It was fine for a few hours until it started freezing again like before. I made sure not to install much and didn't even copy my backup over yet. Here is my EtreCheck output, can someone please HELP!!

My macbook pro freezes every few seconds

Hi everyone!
About a week ago my MBP started freezing every few seconds showing the well known spinning beach balls every time, even when running no apps, I've sepnt plenty of time looking for a solution, I've read this problem might be due to a physically damaged hard drive, bt I've tested it several times using different apps and it shows no error, I've read from another discussion about Etrecheck as a useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem, so I hope some of you guys can help me checking the log output.
