My mac book pro wont charge even when plugged in what is this most likely to be, my mac book pro wont charge even when plugged in what is this most likely to be

my mac book pro wil not turn on even after being plugged in all day, the light on the charger is on a very faint green but will not power up, if anyone else has had this issue please let me no what it was, it could be the battery although my partner seems to think its the little black box the wires go in and out of
Cheers
Lee

First try resetting the SMC.

If that doesn't do it, the best thing would be to take it to the Genius Bar for a free eval. If you can't, best guesses are:
1. The battery
2. The charger
3. The internal board that the power supply connects to.
What little black box?

    hi Mmm ive been told that installing linux on mac book pro retina 15 and even others and using it as my first sofware will make the mac heaqt up and burn from inside!!!!! true??????????

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • I have my Mac Book Pro with the OS Yesomite since a month and I am feeling that my mac is getting slower than before a month. I want to install OS Lion on my mac.  I think i have a DVD of OS Lion which comes when i bougnt Mac laptop in 2011.

    I have my Mac Book Pro with the OS Yesomite since a month and I am feeling that my mac is getting slower than before a month. I want to install OS Lion on my mac.  I think i have a DVD of OS Lion which comes when i bougnt Mac laptop in 2011. Should i install OS Lion? What wil happen if i install OS Lion, do i lost my Applications or ...????

    Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck  and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck  Check out this article.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

    Open a Finder window. If you see your Time Capsule in the "Shared" section of the sidebar, clicking on it should show the "Data" volume (or whatever you named it) in the main part of the window. Double-click on it to mount the "Data" volume.
    If you don't see your Time Capsule in the Finder sidebar, you may not have enabled "disk sharing" in AirPort Utility. In AirPort Utility do a "manual setup of your Time Capsule, then select the Disks panel, then the "File Sharing" tab, then check "Enable file sharing", select a security method (I use "With a disk password"), fill in the remaining options as desired, then update the Time Capsule. Once it restarts, try again to see your Time Capsule in the Finder's sidebar.

    Hello QuinnDev,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on.  I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode.  You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
    Requirements for closed display mode:
    Power adapter
    External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
    External display
    You can find all the steps and the full article here:
    Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
