My computer is surviving off chargers, but not allowing itself to charge.

My macbook pro I just got about a month ago now will not charge when plugged into the power adapter. There is a very very faint green light and the computer is constantly (calculating...) the battery life. I have been continually on 11% for 2 days when I am using it when it is plugged in. I plugged a friend's charger (who also has a 15in macbook pro) and it did the same thing with that charger too. Has anyone else experienced this problem and how do I get this fixed?

I am experiancing the exact same problem as well as severe overheating and random shutdown.
My battery is not covered in the recall problem and Apple are refusing to admit there is a problem across the range.

When Facebook is open in browser; computer will turn off montiro but not sleep, hibernate, etc... multiple computers effected, same problem... just me?

When one of my family members' leaves their facebook "feed" page open in firefox, the computer will not go to sleep, nor hibernate automatically. This effects multiple different computers running Windows 7 and Vista.
I believe it has to do with the update-window scripting, though I do not know why the browser(?) is keeping the computer awake. Peculiar though because watching a movie in the browser allows automatic sleep.. Must just be scripting.
Anyone have this issue or know of a "fix"?

I have resolved the problem.
I replaced the AC adapter. Everying works find now. I tested runing the computer without the battery, and it works. So I might add that a possible test for an adapter that is not functioning properly is to try running it w/out the battery. If it does not run its possible that the ac adapter does not work.
Thanks.

My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!

1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

As you didn't say what kind of computer, what operating system, or what version of iTunes it is very hard to give any meaningful advice. You might start with these:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

I can download photos to my computer via my Ipod Touch but not a video of 833mb yet I can send it to my FB account on the same said device, does this make any sense?

See:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Do y have XP? if so see that topic in the above link,
Can you go to My Computer>iPod>DCIM folder and copy it from there?
Windows XP can't import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the files to your computer's hard drive.

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

Computer will recognize my iphone but not my wifes

My wife and I both have Iphone 4's that have been set up on the same computer. Recently the computer will recognize my phone but not my wifes. When I plug her's in, I get a double chime and that is it. Plug mine in, get a single Chime, and Itunes opens and syncs. I have removed Itunes and the supporting programs, including Bonjour, and reinstalled. It did not work. Also I took her phone to the Apple store, it recoginzed on their computer there and they installed IOS 5 for us. Got home and still nothing.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hello: Thanks to all who replied or read my concern. I was able to solve the issue on my own. What I forgot to mention in the original post was that both my wife and I were attempting to use the Free App " Find My iPhone" from the App Store to set up Find My iPhone which I'm not certain if that was the source of the headache.
At any rate, I simply deleted the app from both iPhones and set up them up in iCloud using the same AppleID account and password which is what it said all along-but I was not getting it. After doing so, both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone are listed in My Devices.
Best Regards,
Marty

How to allow some fixed extension go in from outside to inside but not allow go from inside to outside

how to allow some fixed extension go in from outside to inside but not allow go from inside to outside
for example, allow JPEG, MOV, AVI data flow from outside to inside
but not allow JPEG, MOV, AVI files access or upload or get by outside, in another words not from inside to outside
how to configure?

Hi,
The ZBF link sent earlier show how we can inspect URI in http request
parameter-map type regex uri_regex_cm
pattern “.*cmd.exe”
class-map type inspect http uri_check_cm
match request uri regex uri_regex_cm
ZBf is the feature on Cisco routers and ASA though concepts are little same but works differently. However it is important that you can be more granular with the protocol (layer 7) inspection only. Like on ASA if you will try to restrict .exe file from a p2p application that won't be possible, But on router you have some application for p2p in NBAR and you can use it file filtering. Please check configuartion example for both devices.
Thanks

I have a new computer and the itunes store will not allow me to use the remaining balance on my gift card.

i have a new computer and the itunes store will not allow me to redeem my remaining balance. How to handle.

Details, please. What exactly is happening? How is it "not allowing you" to redeem your balance?

Is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again

is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again
I get my email to download then ... it won't. I go to the store and its showing charges again... rather than PURCHASED

Not just you. I too am having this issue including with a movie I just purchased.
If you follow mario49's advice they will eventually help you by posting the purchases to your account again (not actually fixing the current issue) but be VERY specific with them and be prepared to explain your issue about 4 times (I have taken to just copy and pasting) before they actually read what you told them and help out.
e-mail 1: Response was to explain the difference between a season pass and individual orders (even though I attached the season pass order number to the issue message).
e-mail 2: Reponse explained how to redownload episodes again (even though I had clearly stated it was a latest episode on a season pass).
e-mail 3: I may have yelled a little bit here.
e-mail 4: This one was a complaint about the pre-order that was charged but also now giving me the "you haven't paid for this" message. I attached the earlier complaint # to this one and got they same service person. This time he re-posted every episode from the above season pass to my account and my movie so I got the new episode I was looking for and about 5 others I was not.
Now I just have to go through all of this for my other 11 season passes that won't download either.
Good Luck.
Lee
PS is it just me or does everyone get the impression Apple has now farmed out thier customer service to Mircosoft?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

My computer is surviving off chargers, but not allowing itself to charge.
