My sons macbook 13 when I plug in to charge battery wont charge even after I bought new adaptor pug

how to fix my sons battery  wont charge in fact when you plug it in . The macbook does not show it is plugged in.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem.  I even got a new plug adaptor.  and It does not even show that it is plugged in, this is a brand new issue.  Anyone have an answer to fix this.

Try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out.
Also inspect your power port to see if dirt has accumulated.
Have a look at the link below and see if it applies to you.

  • My Macbook pro is rejecting my Iphone 5 charger. When ever I plug it in it says that the usb is taking to much power, yet when i plug in a different Iphone 5 charger it works fine. I'm just wondering why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Do you actually mean the white cable with a lightning plug on one end and a USB on other
    If so that is not the charger ,that is the cable
    The charger is the device that plugs into the mains socket
    If so
    cable may be faulty if less than 12 months old take it to Apple Store genius bar for checking

  • My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

    You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • When i plug in my 5c overnight to charge, it did not fully charge

    my iPhone 5c has ios 8.1.2  the memory available is 7.8gb storage capacity is12.8gb.  when I plug in the charger to charge overnight, it does not fully charge.  my phone was at 40% power last night and I plugged in the charger and this morning it was at only 61% power.  When I plugged it in, the battery symbol did not turn green, nor did it make the beep sound.  What is wrong?

    Are you using a genuine Apple charger and cable? If not, I would suspect there's a problem with either the plug or cable. Also, make sure the outlet you're using is working properly. Did a breaker blow through the night?

  • When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

    You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

  • I'm using a Rocketfish USB to Lightning cable for powering my IPAD2.  But when I plug it in the battery icon beeps and comes on then goes off...then goes on...then goes...all beeping every time.  Its as if its being unplugged and plugged in over and over.

    I'm using a Rocketfish USB to Lightning cable for powering my IPAD2.  But when I plug it in the battery icon beeps and comes on then goes off...then goes on...then goes...all beeping every time.  Its as if its being unplugged and plugged in over and over.  It won't stop...and its not charging....just beeping.  I've check connections.  Any ideas?

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

    Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

    I could be the cable or it could be that the connecor in the iPod is damaged.  If the iPod is the problem replacing the cable will not help.  Look at the dock connector on the iPod and the contacts on the cable.

  • When I plug my ac adapter in to charge my macbook, the battery meter goes to "0".  Help?

    Is this normal because my battery is getting weaker?
    How much longer do I have with my current battery before I need to replace it?
    Thanks a lot.

    According to your cycle count (508), you've done extremely well - the normal life cycle for a battery is considered to be about 300 cycles (those are charge cycles). And yes, batteries do not last forever - be happy it lasted this long. So, I'd say it is time to get a new one to have on hand when this one drops out altogether.

  • What is the best way to use a macbook pro? Plugged in or on battery?

    Is it better for the computer if you use it while it is plugged in or to use it on battery until it needs recharged and then recharge it all the way before using it again?  Which way is it better for the computer in the long run?

    It doesn't really make any difference unless you don't really need to use it on battery power. Use the battery when you can - when you are mobile. Otherwise, use the charger.

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation is not turning on and gets really hot when I plug it in but is not charging...

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and yesterday I was using it and noticed that it reset to a different time zone and when I dug a little deeper realized that it reset the date to December of 1969. I just went in and changed it all back. I was out of the house all day today and didn't take it with me, when I went to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was dead, so I plugged it in and got ready for bed. I realized that the charging screen never appeared and it never made the little noise it does when you plug it in. I picked it up and right near where the charger plugs in, it was very hot. I use it when it'd plugged in from time to time and it is NEVER that hot. I then tried to plug it into the computer where it again didn't do anything and didn't show up as a device that was plugged in on my iTunes. Again, it got very hot very quickly. I am using the cord that came with it and an actual Apple brand wall charger. I don't know what else to do. Some people said to hold the two buttons down for a little bit, but nothing happened on mine. Please help!

    Warm is normal, too hot to handle, literally, is not.
    If you're concerned, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check your charger out.
