MagSafe power supply not charging any more + PowerPlug moving inside my MBP

Hello,
I've purchasd my MBP at the end on March.
For now about 3weeks, I've been experiencing problems with my mag safe connector :
It plugs in but does not charge
At the begginning, by changing its side it would charge, but now even that doesn't work.
I've noticed that the MagSafe plug (inside the computer) is mobile. It moves about 1 or 2 millimetters, inside...
I must add that I didn't play football or other harmfull activities with my MBP, and has been on my desk or in its box since I've purchased it, unharmed.
Is this a known problem? What would be an appropriate answer to this kind of problem?
Thank you.

MIne does the same, have to force it aside so it charges, and it got so hot, and one of the pins in both the adapter and the plug got burnt, i haven't had time to go to the mac store to get it fixed.

IPad not charging any more...?

The last two days i notices my iPad not charging any more. Eventhough when pluging it into the A/C outlet it would show on the small top right icon, that it's charging, but the battery status renmained at 10% or so... now the battery seems totally drained and i can even restart it.
I also tried using my iPhone A/C adaptor as well as directly charging it from my notebook USB... nothing...death...
Any one knows what to do?
thx guyy.

Turn your iPad all the way off. Then plug it into the A/C outlet with the adaptor that came with your iPad. Since your battery level is so low, it may take a while for it to have enough juice to power on. Your notebook USB and iPhone charger probably don't have enough power to charge the iPad. Don't use them in the future for charging.

Hello,

By the way I sae a post who propose to do
"option+command+P+R"
WHat is the difference
That is a PRAM Reset: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Instead of me trying to explain the difference, let me just say that it's ok to try both of them.
Yes, on my power cable adapter, the light is green.
That's interesting. It should only be green if the batt is fully charged. Have you done the SMC reset?
My problem is that I absolutely need to engrave a iDVD and it take about 1 hour. I can do this before.
But I happy to read that I can solve my issue as you state. . That's right?
Sorry, but I'm not understanding . . . .

My iPad is not charging any more on my iMac

I used to charge my iPad directly from my iMac on the USB port on the back.
Today, for the first time, the iPad refused to charge (Not charging message).
What's worng?
Same Mac, same USB port, same original cable, same iPad...

Kappy wrote:
The USB port on the computer is not able to charge an iPad which is why it comes with its own separate charger. At best the computer can maintain an existing charge which is why you see the "not charging" message.
I can't understand this.
I charged the same iPad since December 2010. Actually, I always charged the iPad with that USB port from the back side of the iMac. It worked for months. I did not change anything.
I'm talking about an iPad 1, not 2.

My Battery does not charge any more.

Hi,
I have seen this issue in a few other threads but mty situation is a little different.. My Magsafe Adapter stopped working.. i checked the brick part and it was buurning hot like on fire almost.. really bad smell coming from the brick.
My MacBook Pro is no longer under the 1 year warranty as of a month ago..
So I read a few threads that suggested replacing the adapter. So I bought a new adapter.. I plugged it in.. And now my batteries won't charge.. I have two batteries and neither of them will charge to even 1%..
Does this mean the part on my MBP where the adapter plugs in is broken and needs to be replaced or something? I tried bringing my laptop to a store where they sell macs and their adapter did the same thing.. a faint green light.. but no charging the battery.
I'm afraid that the power plug on the MBP might be attached to the logic board and buying a new one of those is pretty expensive.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you
Kai

Thanks for confirming my suspicions guys! I suppose it's not so bad..
After all.. I DID get this computer as a gift for attending a conference last year.. Now I'll have to buy a new one.. I think I'm going to open her up and take a look.. The local store says sometimes you can fix the problem by looking at the logic board.. I'm hoping it's not ALL soldered. Even so.. I fixed a part on a G5 mobo a few months ago and saved a buddy of mine about $3000.
I wish Apple had better repair options.. and MORE modular components rather than everything soldered to the logic board.
Thank you again,
Kai

HT1349 my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store

my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store
it gives me troubles

outianleiz,
Mine quits working every now and then.
Most of the time I can fix it by doing a power button, home button reset. When that doesn't work plugging it into my computer does.
What have you tried?
Also I believe it is a software problem not hardware. So I would suggest not replacing it until you can get your hands on the "iOS 5.1" update. That is what I am waiting on before I calling Apple and/or ATT and raising the roof with someone over this issue.

My sons power button on his iPhone 4S does not work any more, does anyone know how much it will cost to fix? 1 year warranty just ran out.

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 -

Ipod shuffle does not repond any more

The ipod has worked for four months, though i havent used so frequently. And to day it does not respond any more or can not be found when inserted in may mac (OSX) or my pc (XP), they have both "high-power USB" and "high-speed USB", have also tried in a number of other pcs an macs with the same result. The Mac and the PC cant even find the ipod as an USB memmory/removable memmory, incredible!!!. Since it is not responding i cant make any "restore", and the restor seems to be the final solution to fix whatever problem got the ipod to get lame. The version on itunes is 6.

you're not the only one........i'm having the same problem
Here's my scenario,
i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

V40.0.05 not exist any more

Greeting Reader,
i have a very strange situation with my nokia 5800, black , code: 0573786 , SW: v31.0.101
yesterday i walked up i can't touch the screen any more or enter any number
so i released the battery for 3 min , it start to accept 1 number in the bin code
so i tried to open with hard reset option (this mean i turn the phone on pressing red+green+ camera + power) it also accept 1 number in the lock code and does not response for any other touches
so i charged the battery to full, switch off the phone, and released the battery for 10 min
turn it all back with hard reset option it works again
Problems:
1- the most strange when i receive/make calls or the alarm snooze i can't press any key on the touch screen it seems autolocked and i have to unlock with the side slide bar.
i fond that there is similar option with v40.0.05 to prevent accident answer but with animation solution.
so i don't know if the phone make a minor upgrade for v31.0.101 when i connect to my nokia pc suite or not
2-the second problem, before i was able to upgrade to v40.0.05 (i mean the pc suite offer me the version) but at that time i did not ugrade.
now when i tried to update to v40 the pc suite does not offer it any more
so i checked for the available upgrade with my code in
http://europe.nokia.com/A4305060
it said the available is only v31.0.101
i'm sticked here can any one help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No the autolock was not like that before with v31 the autolock
i mean not the autolock in general ,but the autolock during calls
in another words, before when some one call me the screen light with two buttons (answer, silence) which i can press even the phone was locked before the call
but now the screen light with the two buttons which i can't press any of them until i unlock the screen with the side slider
another issue here, the sensor on the front panel (the small one beside the front camera) does not response any more this mean when i cover the sensor with my finger or answer a call it supposed to turn the screen light off. but now it does not function any more

Major Drama...5G 60GB Video dismounting, not charging, corrupt & more!

Here is my situation. This is long, sorry in advance . I hope someone here has some insight.
As stated in the title I have a 5G 60 GB video ipod. I got it in March of 2006 when it was the replacement under warranty for my non-serviceable crashed 4G.
It has been in for several repairs under my extended warranty. First control wheel and headphone jack last May. Then hard drive crash (sadface error) in July 08. After I got it back that time, although in good working order it occasionally began dismounting itself from my computer. It was a pain because it still showed "Do not Disconnect" but would not be found in iTunes. So I would use the windows "safely remove hardware" function to remove it and then replug it and it would mount. It did this more and more frequently as time went on and sometime in Oct/Nov 08 I began getting the error message "Scan and fix Jen's ipod F". I looked it up and supposedly it is just a Vista glitch so I didn't worry about it.
It still worked OK so I did not take it in for repair over these minor issues. On Jan 31 09 the battery finally went, it would no longer hold a charge.
I took it in for repair and the battery was replaced. It took a while to get it back and I just got it back last Sunday March 1.
The day I got it back, I plugged it into the computer and after letting it charge for about 10 hours, began the work of manually transferring over my library. (I use disk mode and prefer to do this manually instead of just synching) I managed to transfer about 2K songs (IIRC about 15 GB) at this time and took it to work Monday. It was, of course, fully charged.
At work that day, I listened to music for about 6 hours. It worked fine, although the battery drained faster than usual (normally I get from 12-16 hours of use -music- before needing to charge). When the indicator got to red, I plugged it into the wall adapter for while. After about 1/2 hr the battery had not seemed to charge at all. I tried a different wall plug, no change.
At home I set it into my radio/ipod dock and after 5 hours it had not charged any in that device either. Finally I plugged it in to my computer via my USB and still nothing.
At this point I pretty much figured my new battery is defective, however a couple of days later I decided to troubleshoot a little deeper. I uninstalled/reinstalled the newest version of iTunes 8.02.20 on both my laptops. This time when I mounted it, it really wigged out. Since the battery was still going (but not charging) I tried transferring several songs over to see if that would work.
Right away it froze up. I tried to disconnect and of course no dice so I tried through Windows and got this message " Windows cannot stop your Apple ipod USB device because a program is still using it. Close any programs that might be using it and try again" So I close iTunes. Immediately before I can try to disconnect it, iTunes comes back up again, as it is obviously trying to mount. But when it does, on the summary page where it shows the picture and details of my device, it is instead showing a picture of an old, white click wheel ipod and not my black 5G. Also it does not say :"Jen's ipod" in the list it just says "ipod"...so when I click on it I get this lovely gem: " Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to Restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod". Ugh. So I tried to disconnect via windows and it worked. I reconnected it, like the error message said to do and again it came up as the phantom click wheel ipod. I clicked on it and got the corrupt message again, so this time I tried to Restore it. As soon as I clicked Restore button iTunes froze and I had to use Task Manager to shut it down.
I loaded iTunes again and reconnected it in another attempt to Restore it, but this is the error message I got this time; "USB device is not recognized. One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". THEN the ipod starts beeping and it says the dreaded "Please wait....very low battery" ( I have started reading that thread but haven't got too far in it yet.
So basically my question(s) is this: Is all of this mess related to the (apparently) defective battery that was installed? Could it be a software issue? When I took it in for service I was strongly cautioned that software issues are not covered (and my warranty expires next Tuesday).. I was cautioned about this very emphatically....so much so I wondered if they knew something I did not. What exactly is corrupt? Is it the hard drive or is there a corrupt file or driver somewhere? Was mny batter issue possibly caused my the dismounting problem I was having??
Oh, I do know that it is not an issue with iTunes, my USB ports, my dock, or my wall adapter, or both of my laptops as my husband's 30GB 5G video still works fine and has had absolutely no issues (his never has).
Any insight or advice anyone could give me would be sincerely appreciated.
THANKS! Jen

I have one isea that might work...
Here are the steps:
1)Do a hard reset (menu + select)
2)Before it turns back on quickly press (select + play)
3)This should put the iPod into disk mode
4)plug the ipod into the computer
5)if iTunes doesnt open, open it
6)you should now be able to restore it
Hope this fixes your problem!

W510 - nVidia 880M - GPU throttle not working any more

Hi everybody,
my W510 (2 month old) used to throttle down the GPU from maximum performance (550/790 MHz GPU and Memory) to lower values (135 Mhz or something) when the GPU was nearly in idle mode. I don't know when it sopped working, but today I realized the GPU staying in high performance mode all the time.
I tried the things below but none worked so far:
- changing through the different power schemes
- updating the video driver with Lenovo update tool
- installing the video driver from nVidia (using clear install option)
It has to be a software issue since I can manually change the clock using a tool called Powermizer Manager. But the "Auto" mode is not working any more. I watched the GPU clock with GPU-z.
Any ideas where I might have a look? I'm currently running the most recent Lenovo video driver.
Thanks,
Andy.

This is the response from AirDisplay ==>>>
Hello,
My apologies for this issue. It's a bug we are aware of. It stems from an issue with OS X. Certain Macs that have a third party video driver installed will exhibit this issue. So, it's not just Air Display that causes this problem but other apps like Display Link, AirParrot, etc. will also have this issue. Apple has contacted us regarding the problem and they're looking into it. It's not actually something we or those other third party developers can fix. Apple has to address the issue with OS X. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
