My macbook 13" black is not charging, even though the light is green

My Macbook 13" black (early 2008) is not charging. The charger indicator light turns green immediately when I plug it in, but the charge remains at 0%. It has a charge cycle of 207. I've tried calibrating it but to no avail. Can someone help?

Did you check your battery with an application, called Battery Health?

I cannot connect on WiFi using my Airport Express even though the light is green

Why can't I connect via WiFi even though my Airport Express shows a green light?

Hi Jose,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you can't connect to your wireless network, trying these steps first can help to isolate the issue:
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router...

My iphone is not charging even though the lightning bolt symbol comes on.

My iphone is plugged in and the lightning bolt symbol comes on, but the battery power does not go up. This is the first time I've had a problem. I have already tried two different cables, and it looks like it's charging but it doesn't.
Is there something I can do or do I probably need a new battery?

Did you check the docking connector for any kind of lint or debris?
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this doe not help, contact Apple to get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

FF tabbar does not appear even though the option is checked.

I just got a new hard drive and installed FF 12 and transferred my profile. My profile was from FF 11 and I just hadn't gotten around to updating. My profile and everything works fine so far, but every time I start FF the tabbar is not there. I must manually go under view and check tabbar each and every time, even though the option "always show tabbar" is checked under tools>options>tabs.

See if you have selected '''Remember passwords for sites ''' in '''Options window''' > '''Security panel''' > '''Passwords''' session.

The opened web pages are not correct even though the address in the link roperty is correct. The web page opens a blank page and says "Done"

When I search for a web sites, it gives a list of connected web site.
If I click a particular web site, it immediately opens a blank page and says"done" at the bottom of the page. The opened web address is wrong even though the link property shows the correct address.
What is wrong?

MacBook pro will not charge even when the charger is plugged in and working

So this is a strange one.
I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up.
I have had this laptop since Christmas 2012 and this has never happened before. The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop.
What is going on? Is in the charger? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am starting to stress!
Thank you everyone for reading,
-Rory Campbell
UPDATE: I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down. I have no idea what is going on!

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If you don't know how to, don't worry. They're very easy to reset. Just google how to do it. If that doesn't work, the only thing I would suggest is to take both the laptop and the charger to your local genius bar to have them examined. If it's less than a year old, apple should replace whatever is wrong with it as long as it was a factory defect.

IPhone 5s not charging even though it says it is.

I just got my new iPhone 5s two-three days ago and randomly my phone charger is acting weird.
It keeps saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone" which makes no sense because
1. I got the charger from the box it came with.
2. I switched it out with another from my at&t store.
3. It kept saying it so i went to apple and they exchanged it for me.
so there is no way my charger is "not certified".
I tried resetting it, turning off my phone completely and turning it back on after maybe 10 minutes, I checked for lint even though it's completely brand new, and I dismissed those messages a bunch of times (still doesn't work). I literally did almost everything that I could find on google but nothing is working.
The phone keeps on saying it's charging when it isn't when I plug it into the wall charger and for some reason it doesn't even say it's charging when I plug it in into my laptop.
It was working perfectly before (the past two-three days) but I don't know what happened.....

Your phone is under warranty, so if this is a hardware issue, you should be able to get the phone itself exchanged at no charge.
Backup your phone, then erase it and set it up as new. Does it still insist it's charging when it's not, there's a hardware fault with the phone and it needs to be replaced.

"Not Charging" even though light is green

My MacBook Air just stopped charging. The power is connected, and is showing a green light but the icon in OS X shows "Not Charging". It will only run off AC power. I have tried resetting the PRAM multiple times and restarted a bunch of times as well.
I'd hate to have to take this in to the Apple Store, but do you guys have any ideas I could try before taking it in? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, there's definitely something wrong than I am afraid to say.
With ours, when it says 'not charging' it DOES power the system fine (i.e. does not discharge the battery!) and the battery does keep charge.
It looks like a call to AppleCare or the AppleStore is in order; they should replace your battery!
cheers

Why does my iPad say it's not charging even though it's plugged in?

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

If you are trying to charge from a USB port on your computer, the port may not supply enough power to charge the iPad. It may even be charging but very very slowly and it will say not charging. You should use the power adapter that came with the iPad and plug the adapter into a wall socket for the most efficient way to charge.
This artcle will explain it

I have recently aquired my husbands iphone4 but when i send a mail it still has his name on it not mine even though the hotmail account etc is changed

I have just aquired my husbands iphone 4 but when i send an email it still comes up with his name as the sender even though i have changed the hotmail id etc

I said that rather confusing.
He has a 25 dollar balance in credit due to a gift card we redeemed.
He purchased something in an app he got and it did not seem to deduct it from his
available credits.
basically i want to make sure the credits will be used before my card was ever charged for anything.
does the app store use available credits before resorting to the credit card on file?
thanks
