My Macbook Pro saying Battery is Not Charging

When I plug my Macbook Pro into a charger it is saying "Battery is Not Charging" and the charger isn't changing color when plugged in. But it is making the charging symbol over the battery?

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.

I can't get any of my applications to open. I can't connect to my Wi fi and my MacBook Pro says it's not charging. It is 4 yrs old and I've taken it in for repairs 3 times this year. Also was told my cd rom packed it in. Is it possible I need a new one?

Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(. Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

Macbook Pro 2009 Battery won't charge when plugged in

So recently i've experienced a problem in which my Macbook Pro 15 inch (2009 model A1286) would not charge even while plugged in. So i thought the problem was that my battery had to be serviced for a while now and it said it wouldn't harm my computer so i used it for a bit longer and finally bought a new replacement battery. After installing this NEW battery the same problem still occurs. While going on like youtube or listening to music the computer would flash green for a bit, say "battery is not charging" then go back to orange but the percentage would slowly decrease instead of the opposite. I've tried the SMC reset but the problem still occurs. I am using an 85W magsafe power adapter which is the correct charger for my model so I don't believe that is the issue because i've been using this same charger for a couple years and nothing like this has happened before. One thing i've noticed is that while in the system profiler section I see that the AC charger information only shows that i am using 60W but on the charger it clearly states 85W. Any solutions would be appreciated this has been driving me crazy and i already invested in a new battery I would really like a solution that doesn't require me to buy more stuff. Thank you.

Try a friends charger to rule out the charger (or visit an Apple store to try one there). Perform the SMC reset again and also reset the PRAM

Macbook pro 13inch mid 2009 not charging X on battery

Hello
I need some help regarding my macbook pro 13inch mid 2006. My battery will not charge it has a X over the batter logo. My laptop will only stay on if it is plugged in, if i unplug the charger it will die. Ive attached my battery info which does not seem like it helps.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

my charger also gives the green light as if it is charging

My early 2011 MacBook Pro says battery not detected and does not work with a new battery either. Works only with the charger plugged in.

About a year back i had replaced the MLB of my early 2011 macbook pro and it was all working fine. A month back my battery went dead saying "Battery Not Detected". I went to Ample technologies, Bangalore, India and gave it for diagnosis. Ample technologies are the authorized Apple support service in Bangalore, India. After 3 days and no phone calls they email me that "They feel that the MLB MIGHT be the problem and they want to test it by replacing the MLB and i have to pay for their testing". I had already spent 40k indian rupees ($700) less than a year back to replace an MLB and now they want to replace it again at the cost of 43k ($750) indian rupees. I have no idea what to do now. Spending 80k indian rupees ($1400) in less than a year to replace the MLB twice sounds unfair to me. Can someone help me out here ? Is there a valid warranty period applicable , since i have changed the MLB a year back ?

short of doing a SMC reset, you maybe at their mercy.

My four-month-old macbook pro's battery when fully charged is now down to 2 hours life from 7...in the last week. Why?

I bought my macbook pro 13" about four months ago and have been in love with it ever since - especially as compared to my old PC laptop, the battery stays cool and lasts forever when I am working. Best charge was 7 hours. However, in the last week I have noticed the battery suddenly becoming hot when I unplug the charger, and the best length of time I can get on a full charge is 2 hours.
I have made sure all the settings are for prolonged battery life - which they've been since I first set up - and turned off all programmes running in the background, but this has not made any difference. I have been using iMovie a lot lately which takes a lot of battery which is probably why I didn't notice the battery being low as it automatically seems to make the battery slump to 2 hours when it's on. It's off now, and my battery won't improve.
I have also now followed the instructions (below) about calibrating, but this has had no effect. My housemate bought the same model a month ahead of me, uses it probably slightly less, but his is still 7 hours for a charge.
Is my battery faulty?
Calibration instructions used:
PowerBook G4 (15-inchDouble-Layer SD), MacBook (all models), MacBook Pro (all models), and MacBookPro (17-inch) (all models)
Thebattery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) and anymodel of MacBook or MacBook Pro has been updated because of a new batteryreleased with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps tocalibrate your battery:
Plug in the power adapter and     fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the     power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar     indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Allow the battery to rest in the     fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer     during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
Disconnect the power adapter while     the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power.     You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low,     the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
At this point, save your     work. Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low,     the computer will automatically go to sleep.
Turn off the computer or allow it     to sleep for five hours or more.
Connect the power adapter and     leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
Tip:When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleepmode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", tomaintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is trulyexhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safesleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive.When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep stateusing the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

Macbook pro 13 in 2010 not charging?

hi! i recently bought a macbook pro 2010 around a month ago, put of no where it stopped charging and i didn't realize until after my laptop had already died, i had the charging port replaced thinking that could be the problem but sure enough it still does not work, the battery indicator flashes one green light for 5 seconds, the magsafe L charger i have shows an orange light when i plug it into the outlet and when i plug it into the computer, when i unplug the charger from the laptop the battery indicator does flash that one light again, can anyone tell me what could be wrong? i cannot do much with it considering its dead and wont turn on. i already tried leaving it alone to charge all night and it still made no difference.

If you try different outlets and that does not help, try to borrow a different charger and see if that works. If not, or you cannot borrow one, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an App,e store genius bar and have them tested.

My Macbook pro retina battery is not working

Hello everybody,
I kinda need help, maybe somebody here can give me an advice. I kinda destroyed my Macbook pro retina with coffé My father spilled the coffé on the table and the coffé went exactly inside the laptop. It didnt work but after complete and careful cleaning it works. (except the battery) Battery is not working at all, but interesting is, that I still can see the percentage of charge of the batery.
In the authorised czech service they told me that they need to replace the whole battery (with the skelet of the laptop) so it is very expensive. But I believe that there is maybe some other way? Anybody can help me?
Thank you very much
Jakub

I forgot... The percentage of the charge of the battery is moving now it is 9% but before it was more... 10%,11% etc...

Macbook Pro suddenly turned off, not charging either.

My Macbook Pro suddenly turned off last night. I've tried all the troubleshoots listed in the user manual. Thought it was just batt low but it would not even charge, neither the battery sign located on the left side wouldn't show any sign/blink/color. Please help me, it's just 8-month old and Im not sure what could be the reason of this problem. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Macbook pro a/c adapter not charging

The Apple a/c adapter that charges the Macbook Pro (daughter's computer) does not charge the computer nor does the green light on the cord light up. Was going to test someone's else Macbook Pro adapter to see if the issue is with the original adapter and not the internal battery. Assume the adapter just needs to be replaced. Not for sure if there was some type of electrical surge or problem that caused the adapter to go bad.

Hi
Had the problem of "battery not charging" on Macbook Pro 2006
Charger connecter lit up green
It was very new non apple battery from OWC
Looked at the System Profile only 16 cycles on the battery
AC charger was shown as "connected"
Battery showed up so not a problem with poor connection or not properly inserted (I had tried taking the battery in and out several times) but the profiler said "Charging: No"
Charger worked on another Macbook so that wasnt the problem
I tried the SMC reset where you sleep, shutdown, take out the battery, press power supply for 5 secs, reconnect AC, reinsert battery etc - No luck
Then I read the SMC also controls the sleep wake cycle and lid closure.
I cant exactly remember what I did because I was so ****** off by this stage and starting to lose concentration but I think I closed the lid and let the computer go to sleep and then opened it again to rewake.
After doing this 3 times the bloody thing now shows the battery is charging
A bit random I know but saved me having mental breakdown
I would love to know if this helps anyone else!

Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

Hello,
Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
Thanks,
FF

Macbook pro 15'' 2011 will not charge while playing games under win7 64

During the game (under high load ex. crysis2), the charging LED changes from orange to green and the computer does not charge,
even the battery drains slowly. If battery charge is 100%, in about 50 minutes after the start of the game, the battery charge drops to 94% and
when I quit the game the charging LED changes from green to orange... What's the deal? (Sorry for my english, i'm italian ).

I've just bought a 17" MBP and I'm having the same issue, but in OSX and Linux just the same. In one incident, my battery was running low so I plugged it in, but it still died about 10 minutes later because it continued to draw more power than the Magsafe plug could provide. Needless to say, there was quite a bit of filesystem corruption from the sudden power loss. That this is a common issue to 2011 MBPs does not magically make it "acceptable", especially when the fix consists of providing a more powerful charger.
For a $2500 laptop this is absolutely ridiculous. If the thing draws 100w under peak usage, make a damned charger that provides 120w. In the worst case, it will keep the computer running without unduly stressing the battery. In the best case, it will charge the battery much faster.
