New Macbook Pro 15 -when i remove the power charger the computer shuts down

Hello,
I just bought my new macbook pro 15 inch from my campus store (first mac- finally converted from pc) and i was loving it.
Then it randomly shut down. so i try to turn it back on... no response. so i plug in the charger and boots up so i forgot about it but then when i took the charger out it shuts down again. and when the charger is in the battery status is saying that its not charging. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks,
Andrew

Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery then if it keeps doing the same thing call Apple and make an appointment for them to take a look at it.

When I remove the battery charger my computer shuts down completely and won't start until I plug the charger back in

When I remove the battery charger the computer completely shuts down and won't start up without the battery charger. I have to restart all my windows when I turn it back on. Before it would just go to sleep and if it was charged it would come back on without batter. Any suggestions on what this can be?

A dead battery. Buy a new one.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

Maybe this can help someone else... I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that. I think that sorted it! I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back. Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6. Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS. I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine. Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)? I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it. Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor? I could go HDMI if that works better.

Use DVI or HDMI.
VGA runs out of steam after a while.

HT4796 Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook Pro and started migrating from PC but the remaining time is about 70 hours long, I just wanted to know if that timing is normal and if not, does leaving running my MacBook that time can affect it?

70 hours... no, it's not normal but it can't hurt your Mac to be running for that amount of time.

If a SMC reset does not bring life to your MBP, make an appointment at an Apple store genus bar for a free diagnosis.

My MacBook Pro has frozen mid restore, I can't even shut down. Please advise.

My MacBook Pro has frozen mid restore, I can't even shut down. It has been like this for a few days now. Please help!

Press and hold down the power button until the system Turns Off. Then try to start it again.
I suspect you have some type of hardware problem. As you didn't mention why you were doing a restore I suspect it was from a system crash of some type. What caused that crash, if there was one, is the reason the system has now Hung again trying to restore it.

When I plug in an USB to the usb port my computer shuts down

I bought my macbook air a couple months ago and when I plug in the usb into the usb port my computer shuts down. I dont know why this happens, but is not always, just sometimes.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a different Mac to see if it works? The Air shouldn't have any problem with it, I use a couple of flash drives in mine, although I don't have a pq1. Did you try both USB ports on the Air? Do you have another flash drive you can test in the Air, or a different USB device, like a hard drive or printer?
The only thing I can think of is either a bad flash drive, or a bad USB port on the Air. Sorry, can't be more help than that.

Purchased Lion, installed it - once I log in - i get the curtain and message to hold the power button till it shuts down. Worked with the disk repair utility - fixed permissions - still can't get past the "black curtain of death" any suggestions?

My machine was patched to date 10.x.x. I was lucky to get an internet connection and I selected the option to re-download Lion... its curruently being downloaded. What if that doesn't work?
Any thougths would be appreciated.

And you have a workstation? not a notebook.
Usually a driver or hardware, nothing that Disk utility will fix.
