My macbook occasionally just stops charging

i think its the top of the cable that connects to the computer, its  moving and the green/orange charging light occasionaly turns off. and it stops charging,
i just recwntly ran out of warranty on this computer, is there a way to get it replaced still or no?

Try manipulating cable of your cable while it's still in the wall. If the cable light flickers while you're doing this, it's good evidence that your MagLife cable is damaged, and may need replacement. If you find that the cable is at fault, replacement is relatively straightforward.
You can find OEM cables both at the Apple Store and eBay.

  • MacBook Pro '11 "Stops Charging" as soon as iMovie Exports Video.

    MacBook Pro '11 stops charging as soon as you start exporting video from iMovie. A video demonstration in the link explains the phenomena.

    Respectfully, I disagree with your claim that nothing is wrong.
    While I understand the behavior is by design, most users - myself included, believe that when the laptop is plugged in, it's charging and can operate indefinitely as long as it's plugged in. Instead, a Macbook will, in certain circumstances, shut down completely if under heavy load for too long. Heavy load isn't just rendering complex 3D designs or transcoding HD video - things many users will never do - but it does include activities as seemingly trivial as playing videogames or watching Netflix where playing for too long when the battery is significantly less than full exposes the user to a very possible shut down.
    Just this evening, my MacBook Pro (2011) nearly died while transcoding video in Final Cut Pro - while it was plugged in. This is a real problem for a pro user on the road. Simply being plugged in is not enough when historically it has been.
    Again, I understand that the MacBooks exhibit this behavior by design, but it is a design that is counter to most people's experience of electronics.
    Rather than have this simply be "the way it's designed," how about Apple consider providing an option that reduces the maximum system load to a lower threshold that will allow for effectively indefinite runtimes (keeping in mind engineering concerns like heat dissipation)? I'd be willing to deal with lower clock speeds (and the resulting lengthier processing times) in certain scenarios of my choosing if it means my project won't be exposed to an unwanted shut down like it nearly did tonight. This is feedback I intend to submit to Apple after tonight's episode.
    While I'm no longer concerned that something's wrong with my MacBook Pro, I don't believe the current "normal" behavior is good enough for a $2,000+ laptop for professionals.

  • Its out of battery and when i plug it in to charge it will charge until it turns on, and then just stops charging?

    Try a resetting of your phone just to cover that base - Hold down Home and Sleep buttons for at least 10 seconds and see if the phone powers up.
    If the phone was completely dead, powering through wall socket is best approach.   I've never been able to charge off of a PC if it was completely dead.
    If all fails, bring the phone in for service since it is still covered by warranty.  

  • I have an iPhone 4 and as of two days ago, it just stopped charging.

    I have an iPhone 4 and as of two days ago, it just stopped charging. I have tried using multiple different chargers but none seem to work. I don't know whether or not I have a warranty on it or not. What would be the best way to proceed with this issue?
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi VvanZomeren,
    To check your warranty status, find your serial number in Settings > General > About > Serial Number. Then enter it at http://selfsolve.apple.com.
    Did you try a different computer/outlet as well as different chargers?

    I was using Safari , 5 tabs open, when my macbook pro just stopped working .What can i do ??

    Press the Power button for about 10 seconds to shutdown the computer. Wait a couple of minutes then restart. If it restarts OK, then immediately repair the hard drive:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

    Wow long time ago to find a thread...
    Hold the power and home button while connected to your computer for 10 seconds. Then release JUST the power button and continue holding the home button and iTunes should recongnise the device in recovery and then hit restore and iTunes will proceed to wipe the phone and restore to the latest iOS your device can go too.

  • Need help really badly, macbook pro, just stopped booting up.

    Okay. I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro on wednesday(July 12th) and it arrived today (Tuesday July 18th) I turned it on, installed updates to all the programs, then started trying out some of the programs. I decided to instll my copy of Photoshop 7 onto it, but whn I put the disk in nothing happened. I turned the computer off with the disk still in it, walked upstairs and then "Tried" to turn it on. It came on, the little apple gong went off and then after that, nothing happened. All I've been getting ever since has been a white screen and total silence. Nothing else. I've had this computer in my posession for approximately 2 hours. One of those hourse of which it was charging. I am seriously baffled by this and I've read through the trouble shooting section of the manual, tried everything it said to try and still I get nothing but a white screen. Someone help me please. I need this for school which is in a little over a month and I've spent over $3000 on this thing.
    help?

    Can you do a PRAM/NVRAM reset?
    Resetting PRAM/NVRAM To reset, use the appropriate keys (Command, Option, P and R) should be held immediately at startup. If you continue holding the keys, a second startup chime will occur, then a third, a fourth, and a fifth, etc, until you release the keys. The keys should be held until three startup chimes are heard. This runs contrary to Apple's advice, which suggests that only two chimes are necessary.
    This reason for this recommendation is that in cases where holding for two chimes does not resolve issues, holding for three chimes does. Specifically, at issue when a MacBook Pro's battery is not being charged by the system.

  • HELP Macbook display just stopped!!

    Dear All,
    Last night while I was working on Macbook (black one), the screen just suddenly went black. I was listening to music at the time and the speakers went off just a split second before that.
    The power was still on, and battery fully charged, sleep light was still working but Mac display and the apple on the back were black/off.
    I tried to restart, holding power key 3 seconds, and it turned off with a soft click, but when I turned it back on again, I do hear the sound of the dvd rom turning on, but after that nothing. Screen still black, sleep light still on.
    Who can help my Mac to recover? I've had it since June. Problem is that I live in Rwanda and can't just pop out to a macstore on the corner.
    Thanks for any help and suggestions

    Hi rwandamac,
    welcome to macbook forum.
    try to reset PRAM:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    And play with F1 (reduce brightness) and F2 (increase brightness).
    If the screen still pitch black, I'm afraid your lcd or inverter failed, and it required apple authorized technician to fix that (doesn't have to be apple store guy).
    And if that wasn't user abused damage, it will covered by apple.
    Good Luck.
    ps: do check your local rwanda apple distributor policy.

  • Macbook pro just stopped connecting to wireless internet.

    I have tried restarting it and deleting the old usernames and paswords, but nothing works. I thought it might be an  internet problem but i am having the same problem at home and school.
    Can anyone help me?

    My macbook stopped connecting to wireless internet. Ive tried everything. HELP!
    Open System Preferences then select the Network tab.
    Cick Assist me... then click Diagnostics
    If any of the buttons on the left are red click Continue.
    That should help narrow down whether it's Wi-Fi or your settings or your ISP.

  • I have an iPhone 4s.  After upgrading to iOS 6 (and 6.0.1) my sound occasionally just stops working and I have to power off/on to get it back working again.  Anyone else having this issue?

    My sounds occasionally stops working after upgrading to iOS 6.  Is anyone else having sound issues with iOS 6 or greater?

    I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.

    My

    Are you using the charger it came with? A common thing that happens is that people try to use iPhone level chargers for the iPad. The iPads need more power than iPhone chargers put out.
    Have you tried to give your device a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    Are you able to swap out the charger, cord and outlet? If the problem replicates then it rules those out.

  • Sound on new macbook pro just stopped working

    No idea what happened, but the sound isnt working on my mac.  I've checked to see if I muted it anywhere, but so far I haven't found anything like that.  Any ideas?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
