New Battery Still not working

So about a week ago my laptop (a bit over a year old) randomly died. I found out through friends that it was the battery. When I plugged my laptop in, it would work, but took several tries to actually turn on. When it was on, the battery icon read 0%. Today I went to MicroCenter to buy a new battery. Now the icon does read that it is charging, but the power cord is on orange except for the initial moment when I turn the laptop on. Also, it won't turn on unless it is plugged in, which is a problem for me. Once turned on, it will stay on though. Help?

you can try reseting the SMC -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?locale=en_US
Other than that, if you still have the old battery, bring both the old and new battery and your pwr adapter(along with your laptop) to an Apple Store or your local service provider : http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
and have them run a battery/adapter test (I can't speak for apple, but most service providers will run this test for free)

Help w macbook 10.6.8 bought new battery A1185 not working

I need help! I bought my macbook in early 2009 and my battery stopped working about 2 years ago and in the meantime I updated the system to Snow Leopard so now it is Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I bought online a genuine apple battery model A1185 (i pulled out the original battery and that was the model number) . Now i have put in the new battery but my computer doesnt recognise that its there and has a X in the battery symbol on the top of the screen. The power cord is a green colour except for when i turn it off and then it turns orange. So I left the battery in and the cord connected overnight while it was turned off with the orange light on thinking that the new battery must be charging but today when i checked it (over 12 hours later) the battery symbol still shows an X and when i disconnect the power cord the computer loses all power indicating that it is not registered that there is a battery there.
Also when I remove the new battery and press the small button only one of the five green lights, light up. I also have been browsing this issue online and saw some reference to the old macbook battery not working with the new system 10.6 so i did a software update but still not working. Any help greatly appreciated!

New power adapter and battery, still not working?!

A couple days ago, my macbook stopped charging. The power adapter was plugged in, but there was no indication that it recognized it or was charging, so I figured it was a broken power adapter. I bought a new one, plugged it in, everything was fine - until the next day. The new power adapter stopped working as well. So, I go to the genius bar, and they tell me it's my battery. I buy a new battery and plug in the new charger. Everything's working again, until I unplug the power adapter to move my laptop into another room - and now it's not charging again! I tried every power outlet, and something is definitely wrong with the macbook itself. I'm pretty frustrated since I've now spent $200 on new stuff and the problem still isn't resolved.
Does anyone have any ideas?

A, I love Alexia Potatoes--I think I'm having some garlic mashed with dinner tonight.
B, Have you downloaded and applied this firmware update?

Before you do so, you may want to try just a plain old SMC reset:

New battery is not working on Satellite C855-29N

I purchased a battery.
I've put it in to the laptop and the battery light is just flashing orange.
I tried removing the ac adaptor and battery and holding down the power butter for 30-40 seconds before putting the new battery back in again, plugging in the ac and pressing the power button but nothing is happening. It just carries on blinking orange.
I did a comparison against the batteries and both have the same numbers and codes.
I just don't understand why it won't work :(
Please help!!

Even if there was a right part number, I guess you purchased some kind of cheap china battery and probably the new part isnt good.
Therefore I have no other solution for you as to replace the battery once again and to purchase genuine battery for this Toshiba notebook.

New Battery // Still doesnt work.

A few weeks ago I noticed I my battery only had around an hour of battery life when unplugged. I read around the internet and got a new battery-- I had had that battery for around 3 years and figured it was dying. No big deal. Got a new one
the problem is with this new battery, when fully charged, still only gets 50 minutes of battery life.
Whats the deal? I recalibrated the battery (letting it die, then recharging it after 5 hours)
What gives? I'm going to need more than 50 minutes of battery life.

I have just ordered and received a new battery from the UK Apple store for a Macbook pro (2006).
Straight from the box, I get one hour max out of the new battery despite a 99% charge (5546). The old battery that it replaced could do the same on approx 50% charge. The silver lining is that the MBP now doesnt shutdown without warning. Good deal/bad deal - you choose!!
There seems to be generic problems with Apple replacement batteries for MBPs, which given the history, is something that Apple might be expected to have sorted after 3 years for the MBP.

Installed new battery. Not working right?!?!

I bought a battery from battery plus for my Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011. I installed it and it wouldn't turn on. So I figured it just wasn't charged, I plugged in the charger and it turned on. Great!! Not really. I noticed the battery symbol in the status bar has a "X" in it and when I unplug the charger the mac shuts off. Don't know why, so I'm here for help.

I would be concerned that the battery is NOT an Apple approved battery, and that is why it is not functioning properly. You should take the computer to an Apple Retail store, have the genius look at it, and possibly try the proper battery.
Good Luck.

New iPod still not working

I went to the Apple store and they gave me a new iPod which worked for a little until it stopped connecting to iTunes. The message says "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
I uninstalled iTunes but now when I try to install iTunes an error message comes up. What do I do now?

Try to uninstall the iPod Updater and iTunes using the add/removal software, then download the latest iTunes and iPod updater from apple.com. Install both of them, then open ipod updater, wait and until you are asked to plug your iPod with the computer, then connect it and click Restore.

New iTunes still not working with 64 bit operating systems?

When will iTunes support advanced 64 bit operating systems...
Would seem that a next generation phone would work with the next generation of operating systems...

iTunes does work with vista 64 bit. I can sync my iPod with it. It's the 'Apple Mobile Device Support' portion that is required by the iPhone that isn't working.

What do you mean "not working"? That could mean multiple different things.
If help is desired, be as specific as possible.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Kindly note also that i did not work on this iphone before, i just turned it on and i cannot connect it to the itune and restore it as the itune cannot read the device since i'm not able to reach my home screen, I am stuck in my restoring screen.
Please help!!!!

You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
If you dont connect your device to the computer and
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
after that try again
