My Macbook air is not charging.

It's connected to a power source and is running off of this power source, but the battery itself is not charging.  I've already tried doing the shift-control-option-power button reset and it did not work.  My battery report is as follows:

I have a similar problem. My macbook air will not turn on unless it is plugged in, but it is not charging. It says "Battery is not charging Power source: Power adapter". The battery percentage remains the same. If i turn off the charger or remove the magsafe 2, my macbook air will automatically turn off. I have tried SMC but it has not worked either.
My macbook air is only less than 3 months old and I'm unsure what the problem is, my adapter or the battery.
Please help, many thanks.

  • My macbook air is not charging, I've replaced the charger but it is still not working?

    My macbook air is not charging, I've replaced the battery but its still not charging. Can anyone help????

    If two different Apple supplied chargers have failed, it sounds like there's a problem with the port.  It's probably a good idea to have an Authorized Apple Service Provider have a look.
    Here's how to find one:

    Hi HarmitClaire,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your MacBook Air is not charging as expected. In this situation there are troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the attached article as a resource for steps to help you resolve this situation.
    Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
    My battery is not charging
    Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer. For assistance identifying the proper adapter, review Intel Based Mac notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord--US. Additional adapter troubleshooting is available in Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. If issues persist please reset the SMC.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Macbook Air is not charging

    I have a macbook air that won't charge.  My first magsafe adapter wouldn't charge unless it was held at a certain angle so I went and bought a new one.  The new one I bought has the exact same problem except now it actually lights up when not held, but it still won't charge when it's not held.  I have to put something like my phone under the tip of the charger for it light up and actually charge my computer.
    My battery health right now says it is normal.  My macbook air is not under warranty anymore since I bought in 2010 and I have tried resetting the SMC.  What could the problem be?  Does it have to do with the mac itself or do I just have bad luck with magsafe adapters.

    My wire is heading towards the hinge.  For it to charge I have to sort of lift the the little white cylider thing at the tip of the magsafe.  It's sort of hard to explain.

    It's that little white cyclider part directly under the metalic part.  I have to keep holding it or else it won't charge.

  • My macBook Air is not charging anymore when I put it on the power and now is completely off

    Please help me with my macBook Air not charging anymore

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 If this problem is related to software, this should fix this problem.
    If it doesn't work and you can start your computer, open System Information or System Profiler (it's in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar, and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information".
    If you can't start the MacBoook, the only thing you can do is to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • My macbook air will not turn on and it has been charging all night? What to do?

    My Macbook Air will not turn on this morning after charging all night, what can I do to start it?

  • My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

    My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
    Warm Regards,

  • I have purchased (veranda magazines) for my IPHONE which I would like to use on my macbook air. Do I have to repurchase these app or is there some way to get them in my macbook air with no charge?

    i have purchased (veranda magazines) for my IPHONE which I would like to use on my macbook air. Do I have to repurchase these app or is there some way to get them in my macbook air with no charge?

    Veranda Magazine is a free app available for iOS devices in the iOS App Store.  You then purchase a Veranda Magazine subscription from within the app.  In other words, the app itself is free, but the contents are not.
    There is no way to duplicate or import this to a Mac.  Your Mac runs a totally different operating system.
    iBooks can now import to Mac since OS X Mavericks came out about a month ago.  But that does not apply to magazines or iOS Newsstand publications.

  • HELP! My MacBook Air does not switch on at all

    My MacBook Air does not switch on at all. I press the "switch on" button but nothing happens. The battery is fully charged and the laptop is absolutely new (2 month of rare use). Have no idea what's wrong with it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Aliyusha,
    welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear about your computer issues.
    Do you get a chime? dose the sleep led turn on or blink? What about the led on the power adapter, that LED on or off?

  • My macbook air does not start! I press the on key and nothing happens.

    my macbook air does not start! I press the on key and nothing happens.
    this morning when I took my macAir it would nt start and when I pluged it, there was no light indicating a charge.
    I checked the charger on my wife's mcAir and it worked.
    I plugged it back to mine and the orange light came.
    since a few hours, the plug is on with the orange light on, and still I cannot start the computer. Nothing happens!
    help!

    Try a SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    This process helps correct these power issues.
    Power

  • My MacBook Air won't charge, have tried SMC reset too..

    I have noticed today that my MacBook Air won't charge. I changed the socket I was using to a different one in the house.
    The charger itself is not hot. Has not been used at all today.
    Have followed a link on here and tried an SMC reset to no avail.
    This is what my system report has to say: (my charger is attached right now - no light)

    MacBook Air does not have an optical drive.  There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V.  Installation requires the use of a CD.  Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?

  • My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs. 
    You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. 
    But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing.  It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.
