  • 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.

  • My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it.

    My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it. My battery will say "charged" then "not charging" and it goes back and fourth. It says "Power Source: Power Adapter". But when I use my pro it will loose the power source then reconnect a second later to it. This problem is getting annoying because I have to stop using my macbook pro to charge it.

    Reset SMC.

    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, contact Apple.

    My macbook pro will not charge or turn on. When I plug in the charger nothing happens and the light doesn't turn on. What can I do?

    Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
    Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

  • My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo and keeps asking for password.

    My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo account and repeatedly asks for yahoo password, any soliutions to this?

    This is due to a change in Yahoo's security settings. You need to go into your Yahoo account settings and create a special App Password, then use that password in Contacts to access your account. Same goes for Calendar.

  • MacBook pro will not charge even when the charger is plugged in and working

    So this is a strange one.
    I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up.
    I have had this laptop since Christmas 2012 and this has never happened before. The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop.
    What is going on? Is in the charger? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am starting to stress!
    Thank you everyone for reading,
    -Rory Campbell
    UPDATE: I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down. I have no idea what is going on!

    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If you don't know how to, don't worry. They're very easy to reset. Just google how to do it. If that doesn't work, the only thing I would suggest is to take both the laptop and the charger to your local genius bar to have them examined. If it's less than a year old, apple should replace whatever is wrong with it as long as it was a factory defect.

  • My MacBook Pro will not charge.

    Hi Apple Support Communities!
    I have a 2006 MacBook Pro 1,1.
    This computer is equipped with an Intel Core Duo processor, and 2 gigabytes of 667 DDR2 SDRAM.
    It works absolutely fine, but I am having small problem with it: it will not charge. Since it is from 2006, Apple considers it to be "Vintage and Obsolete." I have no idea what is wrong with it, and am in need of it in proper working condition by this August. I do not have the original install discs for it, and have no way of running the hardware test to see if there are any problems. What do you all suggest? Thank you in advance!

    joncwyatt,
    you can contact Apple directly to purchase a replacement pair of grey DVDs for your MacBook Pro, which has (among other things) its model-specific Apple Hardware Test. (The Apple stores don’t stock the grey DVDs.)
    Was your new battery sold by Apple, or was it manufactured by a third-party? Have you tried purchasing a different battery for your MacBook Pro, to make sure that the problem is not with the new battery currently in your possession?

  • My MacBook Pro will not charge (no light on adapter)

    I've been trying to charge my macbook all day, but it will not charge - the adapter light (green or amber) will not even turn on, and the computer is cold. Is it likely the adapter, battery, or something larger?

    Hi  jsfisher13. Will your Macbook Pro start up with battery and power cord attached? If so, download coconut battery app. I will give you a link. I have a 2009 Macbook that my daughter uses and it does not show as charging and will not run with battery removed. What I found is, that with coconut battery app, the Macbook was charging . But it was so slow that it would not show in the apple systems power or at the battery icon on the top menu. The charge rate was between 2.5 and .3 amps.Should be at least 12 volts. or 23 amps. Her Macbook took 8 hr. to go from 30% to full charge. If you can not see any green at all on the mag safe power adapter, even a very faint green you might have a defective dc in board. That is what you are plugging the mag safe into. It plugs into the logic board. You would have to take it to the apple store to have them run a test on it.http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/

  • Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

    Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • Macbook Pro will not charge.. Help

    My macbook pro got a some water spilt on it so I put a fan over it and and used rice to try to dry the moisture. The computer itself works fine everything works like it normally would except that it will not charge. It recongizes that the charger is connected to it but says it's not charging. The charger itself isn't the problem because I tried another charger and it didn't work either. Is it the battery or is it something else that doesn't work? I'm pretty despirate for help and I don't have any warrenty on it so I don't want to call Apple if I don't have to and pay $50 for them to tell me that something is wrong..

    try an smc reset see if that works here is an apple link that will explain you how to do so http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

  • My retina Macbook Pro will not charge, what are my options?

    I have a water damaged 15" rMBP, everything works fine and dandy except that it will not charge. Maybe it's the charger? The battery? The cable that connects the battery feeding power to the system? No idea. I can only use it if it's plugged in which is a HUGE bummer for me. I have Apple Care, but Apple obviously won't help me. I tried and they didn't, I don't think a different rep would make a difference . I know I messed up, but I've come to accept that fact at this point. I was wondering if there is anything I could try/fix/replace to get the charging working again? If there was water damage to the logic board wouldn't everything else stop to work as well? Theres gotta be something to try.. please help!
    I think replacing the battery would fix this, but I have no way to tell. Would apple do this since I have apple care? If I just asked them to replace the battery?

    Basically, you're just screwed. There are liquid sensors in the MBPs and the liquid damage would be obvious to any liquid damage. You'll just have to take your unit in and get a quote on how much it would cost to replace everything that needs replacing.
    I have renter's insurance with a $10,000 rider for accidental damage to computer equipment - maybe check with your homeowner's/renter's insurance company next time for just such an incident.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • My MacBook Pro will not charge, even after resetting the SMC.

    My MBP will not charge. It's only a little less than 2 years old. I've reset the SMC and even an employee at the genius bar has, it still isn't charging. When I plug in the cord, my battery remains at 13% with a plug icon inside the battery. When I click on the battery, it says "Battery Not Charging" in gray.
