MBP DOES NOT charge from magsafe -- 2007

My MacBook pro (2007 I think) does not charge fro the magsafe charger. I took the battery to the apple store, told them the problem, and asked them to tell me if the battery needed replacing. They said yes, and I bought a new battery.
I put in the new battery, booted the computer, and it showed 44% (the same as the old battery last showed). I ran the computed down to 33%, then plugged in the magsafe.
The magsafe showed the green diode -- fully charged --. After one half hour with the computer turned off and charging, the battery still showed 33%.
Any ideas?
Ken

You are correct. Good point on the charging.
Given that the MPB works without the batt, it sounds more like the MagSafe board than the power adapter:

If you can get your hands on another power adapter or bring the MBP into an Apple Store to try one there, that should answer the question.

Deleted email from my iphone it does not delete from Outlook 2007

My friend has an iphone 3GS and when she deletes email from the phone it does not delete from her Outlook 2007 account. She has to manually delete it. Outlook2007 is setup to permanantely delete from the server. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Tell your friend to get an IMAP or Exchange mail account. From what you describe, your friend has a POP account, and that's the way POP accounts work.

MBP does not boot from a USB external hard disk (backup disk)

My MBP does not manage to boot from an external 1Tb LaCie desktop hard disk (USB 2.0) where I cloned my startup internal hard disk with SuperDuper! (I tried CCC too). Unfortunately, this is exactly the external hard drive I bought to clone my startup disk and I desperately need to have it bootable at startup.
As a matter of fact I cannot see anything at startup (option key pressed or not) without disconnecting it from the USB port. Just it seems that the system hangs up if I keep the drive connected at boot time!!!
Please, advice.
Thanks in advance,
Adolfo

Hi, thanks for the input.
I produced recovery media with the built in recovery media creator, and with ATI Home 2013. This was in the form of a usb flash drive for both types, and a cd as well in the case of ATI2013.
In all three cases when booting up with any of these media inserted, the boot hangs almost immediately and the Num Lock led lights and that's it.
I have set the boot sequence to
USB
CD
HDD,
Disabled Secure Boot in bios and switched off Fast Start in Power Options.
F12 does allow me to enter bios and change whatever settings I want.
This coupled with the fact that the option to go into recovery console has disappeared during the boot sequence leads me to think it is summat to do with the laptop settings rather than the assorted recovery media I have created.
Thanks again for coming back to me.

Battery does not charge from the iPhone charger

i have same problem with my iphone 4 and the etisalat provide me with new iphone 4 within same day i find also the new iphone have same problem it take me more than a month for replacement and now i start again to make complain and i do not know how long with take to replace the i pphone i ask the apple to request from etisalat to speed the process to replace i like apple products i phone , ipad,ipod... i hope you can help me to keep your product number one in uae market

Try rebooting the iPhone, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
The iPhone 5 should charge from the iPad charger, doing the reverse doesn't work, however.
Leave it on the charger for a couple hours and if it still does not indicate increased battery charge, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have it checked.

Loud "crack" sound from 2006 MBP, now will not charge from Magsafe PS

While using my 2006 MBP 2.33 C2D , there was a sudden loud "crack" / "pop" sound. I then noticed that the green charging light on the magsafe power adaptor had gone out. So i checked the mains socket, and everything there was OK. I then tried plugging the Magasfe adaptor into different power sockets, and still nothing.
I also tried the MBP with a spare magsafe adaptor i have, and that also fails to light the green light on the side to show any charge/power.
At the moment the MBP still works but is running off whats left on the battery charge.
So i'm guessing the "crack" sound I heard was some interal fusein the MBP blowing?
Any ideas? Could it be serious and an easy fix? In the past I have changed the HD, optical drive etc so am fairly ok at a bit of DIY on the MBP.

With the light on the Magsafe charger being out, I tend to suspect it rather then the MBP.
You might take the Magsafe charger to the Apple Store and see if they can test it for you. If it is bad, buy a new one. If not, then it would have to be the MBP.

My IPad Retnia does not charge when plugged in using the USB from my computer to car adapter, how can I fix this to be able to have flexibility in charging?

When I plug me IPad into the USB connector to my laptop or into my car charger, it show as not charging. How can I fix this so that I can charge my Pad in these settings?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mbp 15" does not start from set up disk

I formatted my MBP because it did not recognize the monitor, had to attach an extermal one to view image. Now, I cannot install the original OS because it does not start from set up disk. I was using OSX Lion latest version

Formatting the entire drive was rather excessive to solve a external monitor issue.
Likely a PRAM or SMC reset would have cleared it.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
10.7 Lion can only be reinstalled via the Recovery HD partition or via a external Recovery USB made in advance.
Hopefully the Recovery HD partition is still availalbe, hold the command and r keys down while booting (with a actve Internet connection cable attached to the router or modem) and see what happens. If you get something then format the Macinstosh HD partition in Disk Utility (GUID, OS X extended journaled) and quit, reinstall 10.7 from Apple's servers with your AppleID and password.

Since downloading latest OS (07?) on my 4G-S can't use regular charger. Phone blinks and bleats but does not charge. Can charge in car and from computer keyboard port. Much slower.

Since downloading os 7.1 to my Iphone 4G-S I have been unable to charge it on the regular charger. I can use my USB port on my keyboard and my car charger but when I hook up to my regular charger the phone blinks on and off and bleets little beeps and does not charge. Ipowered off and on again with no success.

No such model exists, therefore there cannot possibly be an issue with it.
If it works with other chargers, that would indicate a problem with the charger.

12 volt plug charger does not charge battery

the green light on computer connector is on, the computer shows the icon that is connected to external power, but the battery dies. It works fine on wall outlet. This was first time I used plug. All seems fine but it does not charge the battery.
Apple is good at selling computers, but I just spent over an hour to get an answer for this and this is the best i found so far. We is the product support?
Please, someone helps.

Apple does not make a 12 V power adapter (i.e. car power adapter) for the MBP. What type of power adapter are you using?
If you are using the MagSafe Airline Adapter, which comes with the larger 'cigarette-lighter-style" adapter that +looks like+ it will work in a car power port, be aware that the MagSafe Airline Adapter _does not_ work for 12 V power from an auto - it explicitly states that in the product description.
If you are using an inverter, what are the power specifications for the inverter? Can it deliver the 85 W of power the MBP power adapter requires?

Battery does not charge while plugged in

My computer is plugged into the charger and does not lose power while plugged in, however, it does not charge either. It currently sits at 63% power and says "Battery is not charging" when I mouse over the battery icon and verifies that it is plugged into the power adapter. Basically the problem is that it doesn't lose power when its charged in, but the battery isn't recharging either. The light on the charger isn't lighting up either, however, I've verified that its the computer's problem by plugging my charger into my roommates identical laptop. Any idea what the issue is? Thanks everyone.

I also have this problem with my Mid-2007 MBP.
I have reset the SMC to no avail.
I've noticed that if my battery appears to be charging (albeit slowly) and then I try to play World of Warcraft, it switches to "Not Charging" once the fans startup.
I just had it serviced and they replaced the logic board 1 wk ago and then I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could any of this have an effect?

Macbook shuts down, charger does not charge then charges hours or days late

My daughter's macbook symptoms:
- shuts down all of a sudden
- when restarted, displays error message: date reset 2008 etc.
- When restarted, charger may or may not charge (Magsafe LED off). It may take days before it works again
Macbook under 3 year guarantee (contract says you get a new computer if it breaks down):
In French: www.fnac.com/guides/services/garantie-echange-neuf/default.asp?NID=0
In English via Google: http://tinyurl.com/6ayl5re
Was sent to repair (MSS repair centre, FNAC, France) . They said they did "un reset du système" = a
system reset .
Worked well at my home for 3 days.
Back to my daughter's: same thing happens.
Charger does not charge Magsafe LED off.
Taken to my home: charger charges magsafe red. But my daughter had moved the charger's parts tried other power sockets to no avail before Macbook repair.
Note that this macbook has a mildly loose magsafe port. Yet, moving the magsafe won't change anything while Mac is on. Loose Magsafe port has been reported to me as not an issue (some geek on a forum, and a genius at an applestore)
I suspect something wrong with motherboard. Loose magsafe port should not shut dow the machine should it ?
Back to repair centre: they say it's a "software problem" this is not covered by their 3 years guarantee. Which is plain false (look up - in French only - http://tinyurl.com/6avkvhy ) .
As I don't see which software problem that could be, I took it to the genius bar at Applestore's: Genius says bah ! not a software problem.
Says it's a motherboard failure. So he gives me a written estimate for motherboard repair. Indeed that may to help me battle with my 3-year guarantee and "FNAC" repair centre since they are not so smart.
Happy with this and having checked that the guarantee contract covers even for the alleged "sofware" problem, having an Applestore paper telling me the rub lies in the motherboard, here I am, sending FNAC a formal notice by registered mail (with a copy to my lawyer. An excellent one with the appropriate specialisation , and my other daughter, hence cheap).
But .... in the meantime, I'm using that faulty computer, and here I get another shutdown.
I was moving the computer softly to place it on a table, this pulled a little bit the charger's cable: screen goes black. Magsafe LED off.
I have to restart it, and I get the usual error message telling me the date is set earlier than 2008.
Same crash as usual. Note that my daughter says the shutdown never happened without the charger on, and shutdown did happen without movement nor strain on the cable.
But as I have my own Macbook, same as my daughter's, I perform an experiment.
- I plug my daughter's charger cable on MY Macbook: LED stays off !
- I plug MY Macbook 's charger cable on my daughter's Macbook: LED is on !
My impression is that there is a problem with my daughter's charger, isn't there ?
But how can a problem with the charger, its cable of the magsafe cause the Macbook 's clock to bet set back a few years ?
I have to point out that the battery is not dead, and behaves normally, so the charger suddenly stopping should not shut the computer down. I can use the computer on battery for hours and battery capacity is 86 % of theoretical.
Could a motherboard problem or some other Macbook problem cause charger dysfunction ?
This is important since while I may resort to buying a new charger if FNAC does not abide by their contract duties, if there is another problem than that of the charger, we'll be in trouble again sooner or later.
We know MSS FNAC have not been good at all (not my first untoward experience with them) and Applestore may be wrong or partially right.
Thanks for your ideas about this trouble.

I am having the exact same problem, although it only takes a few minutes for my computer to start charging again. What was the solution you found? My computer just returned from Apple today with a replaced thermal assembly, and I just had the problem repeat itself, not two hours after I picked it up from the postal service.

I-pad does not charge

My I-Pad does not charge and does not turn on

My iPad two will not charge from my MacBook Pro, nor will it charge from an older iMac. It will charge from my Mac Pro and other Mac's I've connected it to. Tried various cables, different USB ports on MacBook Pro, and I still get "not charging" messing in top right, next to battery icon. It's an Intel MBP, what's wrong?

The thunderbolt display does not charge macbook pro,

there is a magnetic adapter for the power cord...do I need to find a new cord for the display or is there a problem with the mac book pro?

The Thunderbolt Display has two cables to connect to the MacBook Pro.
The first is the Thunderbolt cable, identified by the lightening bolt on the connection. This carries data to the display for either passing through to other devices connected to the display (in this way, the display unit also acts as a hub for other devices (USB, Thunderbolt or maybe FireWire), or to the display unit to put on the screen. This cable does NOT charge the MacBook
The second is the power cable. The current version of the display (as of April 2013) contains the power cable to connect to the older type of MagSafe connections on the MacBook, and an adaptor to connect to the newer MacBook's (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina). You have to (of course) use the the adaptor or not depending on how old the MacBook is. It is an akward thing, but you have to use the adaptor for the newer Macs and not for the older Macs (sounds backwards, but that is the way it is).
The older versions of the display (mid 2012) do not come with the adaptor and you have to buy one if you have a newer Mac. Or you can continue to use the power brick that came with the Mac.
Soon, (hopefully - but not soon enough IMHO) Apple will release a new version of the display which will (in addition to being thinner, lighter, use less power, etc.) will contain a power cord that will fit right into the newer Macs and you will need an adaptor if you have an older Mac.
Sounds kind of confusing, but if the power cable from the Thunderbolt does not fit your Mac, you have to use an adaptor.

My iPod Shuffle is not charging from USB

Hi,
My iPod Shuffle is perfectly operationnal when connected to my laptop thru a USB port. I can see it with iTunes et it syncs perfectly. The only problem, it does not charge. I see the yellow light flashing for a few seconds, while it syncs and then nothing.
I run Windows 8.1 on an ASUS laptop. I have disabled the USB suspension. Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
When I connect my iPod Shuffle to a desktop computer (running Windows Vista), everything is fine.
Any clue?
Thx

I don't know where "fix" this will be (Microsoft, Asus, or Apple), but this may be what's going on...
When an iPod is NOT set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing. The rest of the time, the iPod's disk is not mounted. There may be a "feature" on your laptop, and/or in Windows 8, that attempts to save energy by putting the USB port into a low-power mode, when the connected storage device (the iPod in this case) is not mounted. When iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk after syncing, it may look like an external storage device that no longer needs full power, even though an iPod needs full power to charge its battery.
When an iPod IS set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously. Therefore, the USB port stays at full-power mode and the iPod's battery is able to charge.
I know you said
I have disabled the USB suspension. Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
but maybe that setting is not working properly (as it relates to iTunes/iPod), and that's the cause.
A desktop computer does not run on battery power, so it may not have this feature; saving energy is not a high priority when the power source is the wall outlet, not a battery. Or, Windows Vista may not have this feature. Therefore, the USB port gets full power whether the connected storage device is mounted or not.
One additional test you can try is to see if it makes a difference if the laptop's power adapter is connected or disconnected. When the power adapter is connected, the laptop has "unlimited" access to energy from the wall outlet (like the desktop), so maybe the USB ports stay at full power all the time.
