Hi druebanks,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these suggestions if your MacBook Pro battery does not charge:
If the battery is removable, remove it and install it again, to make sure it’s properly installed. Refer to the manual that came with your computer for more information about properly installing the battery.
Make sure you’re using the correct power adapter for your computer.
Apple Support article: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord
Make sure the power adapter is connected to your computer and is plugged into a power outlet.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC), which controls how your computer manages power.
Apple Support article: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If the battery still won’t charge, your Mac may need to be serviced.

  • My MacBook Pro has a blank screen

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix the blank screen on my MacBook Pro? I can hear it running and the lights on the keyboard works. I also can see the apple sign when starting it up but then I get the blank screen

    Hi sburkhalter,
    It sounds like the MacBook Pro isn't starting up completely. Take a look at the article below, it has suggestions that should help resolve the startup issue.
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

  • Macbook pro has a white screen and is basically not allowing me to do anything.

    My sisters macbook pro has a blank white/grey screen for some reason. We have been at school all day, we come home to find a small dent on the right of the trackpad, but the laptop had been closed all day. I have already looked at other peoples discussions talking about restarting and putting the Mac OS disc to reinstall and things like that... But the laptop is not allowing me to eject, or put anything in it. I have clicked on all different combination of buttons but still the white/grey screen. There is a disturbing whurring sound when the laptop starts up, almost like a small scratching noise and something has definetley been broken. I put the charger in and the small light goes orange teling us its not completley done for.
    Has this happened to anyone else before?!
    And we really need some HELP !!

    The lid was opened and something was dropped on it is my guess.
    You'll have to take it in, user damage is not covered by AppleCare/warranty.

  • My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    EDIT: RESOLVED
    For anyone else who finds their way here like I did, this link did it for me: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/527599/windows-8-issues-solved-please-r ead-if-you-39-re-having-black-screen-and-or-flickering-/
    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl.  It started when I was printing off the Internet.  Now I get the spinning circle in just about every move.  Any help?

  • MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

    MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.  This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so.  While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes.  For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode.  Any idea or suggestions?

    Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon.  From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility.  Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair. 
    If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
    Ciao.

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro, suddenly dying - blank screen, no response.

    Hi there,
    So My Macbook Pro has developed this habit of just switching off the screen and appears to become unresponsive. Complete hard power down and reboot seems to be the only way to get the machine back.
    At first I though it was a battery problem, with the majority of incidents occuring either when the Macbook was charging or on battery. However now the problem has become much more frequent and occurs even when the battery is full.
    Here is the report that I get when I reboot:

    I get the sense from the above that it might be a problem with my graphics card, however I'm not going to rush out and buy a new one untill I'm fairly certian of that.
    Any help would be highly appreciated!

    If you boot into Safe Mode does it then work OK? You have a lot of third-party extensions installed including a non-current version of Parallels. Safe mode will disable them until you boot normally. This way you can determine if the problem may be related to the third-party software.

  • I have a Macbook pro thats prints fine to my HP printer, but when I try and print from my iMac it doesnt see the pages and just prints two blank pages. Even thou the document is a number of pages

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A and I had no problems printing to it from my Mac or Macbook pro. The macbook is wifi and the Mac is cable, I have recently had the printer replaced with an exact model. Since doing that I can only print from the macbook pro, when I try and print from teh mac it doesnt see the pages. It could be a 10 page document and it will just show two blank pages. I have googled the question and have tried deleating the printer and reinstalling without any luck. When I got the new printer I insalled all the latest drivers thats the only thing different.
    Could you please help
    Michelle

    Right click the printer in System Prefences -  Print & Scan and use Reset Printing System... and then reinstall the printer, should take less than 5 minutes. Here is a photo showing how to Reset Printing System....

  • HT1338 MacBook Pro 13.3: Desktop screen will not come up when turned on.  Screen is blank except for an icon of a folder with a question mark on it, in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, laptop making a clicking noise.

    My MacBook Pro 13.3 MAC OS  X v10.7 laptop will not come up.  Blank screen comes up, no color/desktop, etc., only an icon of a folder in the middle of the screen with a question mark on the folder.  Laptop making a clicking noise. Suggestions? Thanks!

    It's under warranty. Take it in to have Apple fix it.
    The "flashing ?" means the machine can't find the start up disk. The clicking noise is a give away that the drive is damaged.

  • My MacBook Pro has a white screen when I turn it on

    When I start up my MacBook Pro. It just ha a plain white screen and I can also hear a faint beeping (like if you were on a desktop computer holding down a lot of keys on the keyboard) please can someone help me!!??

    I can tell you what I did the last time this happened to me:
    I made a careful note of my Display settings when my computer started up correctly and everything looked fine
    ... and, I ensured that the same settings were there the next time I restarted (and it happened that my screen didn't appear to display correctly) I checked these settings. If they had changed, I chose the one that 'worked' for me and it 'set' thereafter. In my case, it was 1280 x 800.
    If I were you, I wouldn't shut down my computer too often (just telling you what I do.) I shut down mine only after a week or 10 days so that it can 'clean itself up.'
    Hope this helps.

  • I backed up my macbook pro before they intalled a new hard drive but when I reinstalled, my book says it isn't compatible with Maverick and I can't get the last year of pictures or files back.

    I backed up my macbook pro before having a new hard drive installed. They installed Maverick for me, but now My Book says its not compatible and I can't restore my files and pictures from the external hard drive. What can I do?

    Simple if you have a complete backup of your old drive erase the new one and restore from your Time Machine backup. That will put your Mac back to exactly like it was before you had the hard drive changed.
    In all honesty I have no idea why most all the Apple stores upgrade every Mac that comes through to Mavericks.
    To do the erasing and restoring you need to either boot from the original system discs that came with your Mac or if it came with either Lion or Mt Lion use the Online Internet Recovery system. To boot to that at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. Once thje Mac OS X Utilities screen loads use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as one partiotion to remove all data from it. Then when that is done exot disk Utility and select Restore from Time Machine Backup. Have the TM backup drive connected before you start this process.

    Try resetting the SMC. If that does nit help, take it in for diagnosis.

  • MacBook Pro has a black screen?

    Black screen with cursor. After restart computer comes on then goes to black screen.

    Digirosa,
    any version of OS X that comes with Software Update can be fully up-to-date, but the version of OS X that is installed will determine what options are available to you; a fully updated Leopard installation will not have the same options as a fully updated Mavericks installation. Why do you choose to interpret my request for relevant information as condescension?
