New Macbook Pro Wont turn after discharge

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my 3rd mac in the past 2 years, yeah that's how hooked I am, now windows free 99% and love it...
My brand new macbook pro has a very annoying issue.. if I use it on battery power and it discharges completely I have to wait up to 15 minutes after connecting it to power to be able to turn it back on again. this is so frustrating as I am sometimes doing some work and have to get away from the computer for a few minutes.. If it discharges within that time and I come back to continue my work guess what.. I need to wait all this time even after connecting it to power to resume my work...
Does anyone has the same problem? is this normal? I've searched google and haven't found the same problem on anyone else unless they are OK with that and just don't report it... I've never had this problem with any other laptop I own and is extremely annoying, my wife's macbook doesn't do that, if it discharges and goes to sleep you can just connect the magsafe adapter and it will come right back up.
your comments will be greatly appreciated.

My MBP has always come back immediately. So has my old iBook. I rarely discharge my battery completely, but will do so on occasion to calibrate it. But I have never had the problem you describe. My personal opinion is that the long delay is definitely not normal.
Out of curiosity, next time your Mac shuts down like this, remove the battery and see if it will start up immediately. If it does, you could possibly have a faulty battery. If it still takes a lot of time to start up with the battery removed, there is something else wrong. I have never heard of anything quite like this. Since you didn't mention excessive heat, that wouldn't be a factor.
Be sure you can reproduce the condition for the Apple genius. They have to see it to be able to do anything. Go in a bit early with a low battery and run it out in the store, so you can show them exactly what it is doing.
Good luck!

  • My brand new MacBook Pro wont turn on

    If you ever wondered if there's anything worse then buying a new macbook pro, waiting two weeks till you receive it only to find out that after you unbox it, slowly and carefuly, connect it to the MegaSafe Power adapter and hitting the On key it will not turn on or even respond then I can honestly say, I've never felt disappointed as I do now.
    The green LED on the power connector ain't shinin aswell.
    I've tried several power adapters, didn't make a change.
    I tried connecting a MacBook power adapter and the green LED turned on, then faded to black after about 10 seconds.
    Nothing's going on the screen when i press the power button and the power adapter seems to work properly.
    Other then slitting my wrists, what can I do? what could be the problem?

    Im currently in the middle east and bought it in Canada, then sent by xpress(air mail), so I can't do that.
    Any other suggestions?
    Repairing it frightens me, by going to a premium reseller and leaving it there for them to fix it, even if I get new hardware, do you think it will have any effect on the device?
    I don't trust them here tempering with my baby

    It's new and under warranty. That's the reason to go to the Apple Store.

  • New macbook pro wont accept password

    I moved everything over from my i5 MBP to a new i7 via utilities migration assistant. However the new macbook pro wont accept my password, nor will it recognise the other user account passwords. Works fine on the i5.
    In Disc Utilities, change password asks me to select an image, but does not light up "change" when I select user.
    Any ideas?

    Is you new MBP the 2010 model or is it a newer model running Mountain Lion?
    If it's a newer model running ML, you can simply boot into your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when you get to the Recovery window, select Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type
    resetpassword
    and hit Return. A small app will open that will allow you to change the password for the user that you select. Then just reboot and use the new password.
    If, indeed, you're running 10.6.4, you'll need the installation disc to use the Reset password utility.
    Good luck,

  • My 4month old Macbook pro wont turn on unless plugged in, but remains on after unplugged.

    I got a brand new macbook pro 4months old.  What happens is it does not turn un unless it is plugged in when I unplug it though it is fine and will run till it dies, BUT if I were to close it and put it to sleep it will not turn back on. I would have to plug it back in and turn it on then I can unplug it and it will be fine till it falls back asleep.
    Once I do turn it back on, a pop up says that I need to re adjust the clock and another trying to search for the internet, even if I was already connected with is 5 min ago. Even apps like tweetdeck and facbook would reset and I would have to enter all my information again, where as before it would just remain there.
    I have NO idea why it is like this and I am not really familiar with a Mac and its OS but any information would be greatly appreciate!
    Thanks!

    Bring it to an Apple store or AASP. You are under warranty.

  • New macbook pro wont wake from sleep

    Hi everyone, I got the new macbook pro 15 inch with retina display about a month ago, the problem is it will not wake from when the screen goes to sleep, not all the time but enuff for me to want to throw it out the window, when it is in sleep mode i go to touch the touch pad then the keybord lights up like its about to work then dies and i end up tuning the computer off from the off button.
    I have been on the phone with apple for many hours and its doing my head in and losing my mind and they have done a re set, a re install and also after that didnt work we wiped the computer and downloaded the software directley from apple and started fresh again " AND STILL DOES NOT WAKE FROM SLEEP " i have taken it back to jb hifi where i got it from in Liverpool westfields and they said sorry we cant help you and apple are saying you have to take the computer to apple and leave it with them for a few weeks, very hard for me as i use the computer everyday to run my business and i feel ripped off big time they should replace it straight away.
    Has anyone had this problem before ? any ideas ? thank you very much for you time.  Dave

    Apple has replaced systems for others after several tries at repairs have failed.  Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider and take it in for service, as Apple support directed.  Apple would have replaced the system outright in the first 14 days of ownership. After that, you need to give them the opportunity to repair it under warranty. 
    Since you use it for business, have you asked if the Apple Authorized Service Provider can provide a loaner? Or considered renting one for the short period it would be repaired? Or talked to the Apple Authorized Service Provider about expediting repair?

  • Brand new macbook pro slows down after I transfer files on from old computer

    Hey, I just purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 3.5 GhZ Haswell processor, 500 gb of flash memory, 16 gb of RAM, OS X Mavericks, 17" retina display and while it's been great upon first booting up after I transferred over my music and books and docs from my old mac (about 150 gb worth (so I still have over 300 gb free on the new one)) I've seen a massive slow down and it's started giving me the beach ball of death which was the main reason I got a new macbook as my old one was beach balling so much it was nearly unusable. Very upset that this brand new stupidly expensive computer is already doing this. Any advice is apppreciated.

    Either your RAM is no good, of poor quality, the wrong specs or it's not installed correctly or it got subjected to static electricity when you put it in.
    Best Buy isn't as Mac centric, thus the quality of RAM that Mac's require may not be there.
    You should have purchased from Crucial.com or Other World Computing or similar that tests the RAM to make sure it works the first time you put it in, as it costs everyone money to ship bad RAM back and forth.
    I put in 16GB a couple of days ago, took five minutes and it works perfectly.
    Nothing like top tier RAM for a top of the line machine, especially with all those tiny, easy to lose screws Apple uses.

  • New macbook pro wont connect to my 4th generation ipod touch.

    I just bought a new macbook pro and when I plugged my 4th generation ipod touch into it the ipod just flashed the battery sign off and on and made the dinging noise continuously and it never connected to my computer.  How can I get it to connect?   I've never had issues with my windows computer.  I tried different a different cord and it didn't work either.

  • New Macbook Pro. wont connect to wireless network once it has had a update

    My girlfriends New Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. I does connect to non-secure wireless connections such as at the airport but doesn't connect to her home wireless connection that is run by an SBC DSL 2WIRE gateway. I can connect fine on her old IBM laptop that I am on right now through this network wirelessly.
    There has to be a fix for this?

  • My macbook Pro wont turn on after getting new battery

    I had one of the defective batteries which eventually just died on me. I had mac send me a new one. After switching the new battery with the old one I expected my laptop to work fine. After pressing the power button a number of times the laptop eventually turned on. I would have to sit there for a few minutes but it would work. After about a day of this the laptop will no longer turn on. The power light is on and it makes the regular noises accompanied with turning on the computer and the laptop is registering the power adapter but it wont turn on. One thing of note is that it makes a strange noise for about 3-5 seconds occasionally when I turn it on. Anyone have any ideas?

    Take it in for repair at a local authorized service center. Sounds like there is an issue with the power manager.
    P.S. Please read this tip as you seem to confuse what "mac" and "Apple" refer to:
