My macbook pro lost batt charge and will not pwr back on. My charger is connected and green but no luck. What can I do?

I have an old MacBook Pro who's battery needs to be replaced it has since powered off and I can't get it to restart I have charger plugged in showing green light what can I do?

I would just go ahead and get the battery replaced - and, while you're at it, have the Apple techs check out your power adapter and your power unit inside your MBP.
Your MBP should be able to run without a good battery if it's plugged into the adapter. You may have further issues if this isn't the case.

Long loading process when at the apple screen on Macbook Pro, then turns blue and just stays there. What can I do?

I have tried entering safemode, but to no avail, it just gets stucks at the grey screen with the apple logo. I have tried putting in the CD for installation which needs to press a C when restarting the laptop and also holding the option button when restarting the com. Any other tips? Im not good with handling problems. Thanks.

Try to get into your machine and if you do, the first thing you dois
backup your files to a external drive. (not TimeMachine) viaregular
drag and drop methods.
Disconnect this drive. and all others.
Repair Permissions /Drive from the installer disk
You can then c boot off the installer disk for your OS versionand
under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility > Repair Disk and
Repair Permissions.
Any warnings related to Disk Repair that are not repaired
is a sign of trouble.
This one about permissions you can ignore
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Reinstall OS X
Also you can reinstall just OS X itself while c booted off the
installer disk, shouldn't effect your programs or files
(but backup all files just in case)
Hold off Software updating until your third party software
has a update to work with the current OS X version.
OnyX clean and check
You can download and run ALL the cleaning and maintenance
aspects of the free OnyX and reboot here:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Also use OnyX Verify > Preferences (check to show onlycorrupt)
plist files, write them down and find them and move them to your
desktop and reboot, they will be rebuilt. If everything is finethen
delete the old plists and set your preferences again.
Most drastic method
If that don't work, c boot off the installer disk again, thistime
use Disk Utility to Erase >format HFS+ Journaled with Security
option > Zero All Data (will take some time) This will totally
wipe the drive of everything and is a last ditch effort.
When it's done quit, and reinstall OS X.
You'll have to go through the setup and reinstall your programs
and files from backup. Secret is use the same user name and
drive name as the previous time so your iTunes folder will work
without a hitch.
If you restore from TimeMachine, it's possible whatever problem
you had can return, but you can try and if it doesn't work, just
repeat above without TimeMachine.
Clone your boot drive
Later look at free/donationware Carbon Copy Clone your boot
drive to a external HFS+ Journaled formatted drive (in DiskUtility)
and keep in a safe place, it hold option bootable, reverseclone
great if your hard drive bites it, or TimeMachine gets hosed.
TM isn't bootable.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6. Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6? Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs. When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS. Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP, VTS_01-0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS-01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Where is DVDxDV?

My MacBook Pro (OS 10.7.2) will not load some sellers websites that bounce through yahoo. Other Macs on same network work fine. I have reset Safari, tried other browsers, eliminated cookies..... to no avail. All computers running 10.7.2. I have reset Safari, tried other browsers, trashed out cookies. This has me baffled. My other macs running the same OS version work fine. Flash is up to date and have done the current software update. Any help please. I have not blocked any sites and am administator for all machines. I have tried signing in as Guest. Nothing works.

After searching other users questions with related problem, I found that VirusBarrier 6 was the issue. Reconfigured settings there and problem solved.

I have downloaded Lion onto my MacBook Pro. My husband and I share a desktop. Can we download Lion onto the desktop from my Apple ID without causing problems for my husband's Apple ID use?

Yes. In the future, however, only you will be able to update Lion because it will now require your Apple ID.

(MacBook pro 8,1) Firmware password will not reset. Resetting PRAM fails.

(MacBook pro 8,1) Firmware password will not reset. Resetting PRAM fails. Resetting NVRAM in Open Firmware fails. Resetting PMU fails. Any suggestions?

Not trying to circumvent any feature or security of the hardware. I am the owner of the hardware, I know the current firmware password. I am simply trying to turn off my current firmware password so that I may reset the PRAM to fix a failed OS install. The instructions to turn off the current firmware password should also include having to enter in the current firmware password as done on previous models with the boot CD. This feature was made available to all models because it is a security must have and it abides by industry-standard security procedures as stated in HIPPA and other ISO standards.

My iphone 4s has switched off and will not switch back on even when its connected to power charger or laptop. can someone help please

Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

My iphone 4s crashed today and will not go back on. I see the apple logo, but nothing else will happen.

My mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch unibody battery will not accept a charge

HI there one and all!
                                    My mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" unibody laptop will not accept a normal charge using the mag safe cord. I have replaced the original battery with a factory new replacement, but I still have the same results.
    The computer powers up and runs only with the mag safe cord attached and when shut down, does not switch from green to orange to indicate the charging mode.
    Can anyone be of assistance or perhaps has had a similar issue? Thanks in advance to anyone for their insight and help. If it makes a difference, my computer information is as follows: MacBook Pro 15", Mid 2010
                                        Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
                                        Memory.    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
                                        Graphics. Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
                                        Serial number. W80---------------
                                        Software     OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

Please find "System Information" in this folder path---Applications > Utilities---and launch it. When it opens, find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and click it to get something like this in teh main pane:
Copy everything in the "Battery Information" and copy/paste it here. The number values in that report may help us diagnose what is happening.
Also, did you buy this battery directly from Apple or from another source. There are an increasing number of reports showing up that suggests some counterfeit batteries being sold.

Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) will not connect to Wi-Fi -- persistant 'connection time-out', and fails.

I can see this seems to be a common problem, and it is amazing that there seems to be no consensus (that I can find) on what the underlying problem is.
Here are the basics.... I have two Macbook Pro 13's... Pretty much identical setups (Lion 1.7.3 etc.).
One, works flawlessly connecting to Wi-Fi - whether that is my Airport Express, or any other open or closed networks.
The second, will continually refuse to connect -- to the Airport Express or even a wide-open 802.11b network. It will continually pop up the "connection timeout" erorr, and refuse to connect...
Iphones etc all connect perfectly... Even when connecting to the iPhone hotspot - the same error.
This will happed consistently, until I give up. I can leave it for a day (use ethernet), and come back tomorrow, and voila - it will connect. I may be able to use it for a day or several, but once it decides to 'fail', there is virtually nothing I can do to bring it back... it will continue to fail over and over again.
All updates are applied, I've cleaned out all other networks etc from the list. Tried all civilized things that I can.
Thoughts? Anyone have any other insight? Think this could be a hardware issue? I was thinking to yank the wi-fi module from the working notebook to the non-working one as a test...
Thanks,
Brad

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

There is no output from that command line? Maybe the pid changed.
I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.
