Power Problems - MacBook Pro

My MacBook Pro is exhibiting power problems. I am running Yosemite and it seems that the problem may have arisen since I dowloaded this upgrade. When the battery is charged it shows 99% charge and I can use it on battery power. As normal with use the charge gradually reduces, say to 30%. I then switch off using either the on/off button/apple logo, waiting for the dialogue box, " do you want to switch off etc". The next day, I switch on, but the computer will only boot up when the power lead is attached. When the computer comes on, usually as normal, the charge always shows 0%. When it is recharged the whole process repeats itself. Help please.

Howdy rcoo26,
It sounds like there’s an issue turning your MacBook Pro on when it isn’t connected to power, and the battery doesn’t seem to be holding a charge. The article below provides information that can help you troubleshoot the battery in your notebook.

If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

What backups do you have?

Heating problem Macbook Pro retina 13 late 2013

I'm having problems with my Macbook Pro retina 13".
I'ts a refurb one.
Can anyone tell me what is normal temperature of CPU on this model, because, it's my first Mac.
When is on my legs, not a flat surface, it gets hot. I'm surfing on the web, and programming in Netbeans, and the temerature of my CPU is about 81 degrees, and it gets pretty how down there, so I wanted to ask someone who has one, is that normal for all MBR or mine is damaged?
Sorry for my English if it's bad, 'cause I'm not from USA...

mareyu,
I'm running at exactly 64ºC right now, too fans are at 5189RPM, but I am running Windows via Parallels and just finished a big scanning job on the Windows side, so you're really not too far out of 'normal' range - Chrome does consume more CPU power as well as tasking GPU when watching videos on YouTube. So I would say that you're normal just now.
If you're worried about the heat being generated you should take your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP and have them check it out - there's no charge for a diagnosis.
Also make certain that you don't put the machine actually in your lap or on any pillows, blankets or other cloth surfaces as your MacBook Pro is not a laptop and having it surrounded by cushions and the like can clog the vents.
As I said, if you're worried about the heat, let an Apple tech check your machine - bur from what you're observing, I would say that it's just normal heat (especially when watching YouTube videos using Chrome!).
Good luck,
Clinton
P.S. In the time it took to write this, my temps are down and fans are at 3548rpms. I'm sure that once you stop watching videos, your machine will cool down, too.

Power adapter macbook pro

I just my local apple dealer asking about a new mag power adapter for my macbook pro. I was told the 85 watt power adapters were recalled. What gives?

I haven't seen anything official about a recall.
If you look through some of the other threads in here, a number of people have been having problems with the cord fraying and/or melting, causing them to stop working.
I currently have a repair request in; the person at the genius bar said nothing about a recall. From my conversation with him, it seems I am only getting the replacement for free because I had my Mac in for a hard drive repair less than 90 days ago.
YMMV.

Charging problems Macbook Pro 13 not MagSafe related + isight not working

Having weird problems with my MacBook Pro 13 (MacBookPro5,5). I bought this needing repair and replaced the LCD, the LCD Glass, the Camera/mic cable, and bought a used battery because the old one showed "Service Now". Just when I thought putting all this work in would get me going, I ran into two different problems that are driving me crazy.
The battery will not charge with any magsafe attached (I have quite a few). The only way I can get it to finally charge is to remove the bottom cover, unplug the battery, and use a new, l-shape 85W Power supply to get it to charge again, It charges ONLY until I remove it. Once I remove the power suppy...even for a second, I will not light up again and it will go on battery power until it disappates (then I start all over ). I've tried every reset in the book, so it has nothing to do with the PMR or SMC (or however they are named). Also, before anyone asks...the old "Service Now" battery behaves exactly the same way .
The isight camera STILL does not work, even with the new cable. Furthermore, I had another cover for the same unit with a camera in it and its own cable and tried to use the camera with that setup, and it still did not work. My guess is there is either an issue with logic board or the cable connector on the logic board.
The Apple Hardware test passes perfectly every time I run it (quick and extended). Disk is fine...checked it with drive genius and disk drill. I am open to suggestions if anyone has them. I'm guessing this is out of warantee, nor was I the original owner. Anyone have any ideas? Open to anything at this point.

The DC-In board doesn't look like much (I'm looking at http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-MagSafe-DC-In-Bo ard/IF163-011 -- the zoomed in version). There's hardly any intelligence on there (in the form of an IC). I'd rather expect this to be something on the logic board, but you could test it with a multimeter, see if there's still a voltage measurable after reconnecting the magsafe.

If you have your original installer DVD boot from it. Do you still get a panic? If not, then backup the computer, erase the drive, and reinstall Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
Note, that if you cannot start from the Recovery HD without experiencing a panic, then you have a hardware failure.
Be aware that the panic report you posted is usually always associated with GPU failure for your specific model. It does not have anything specific to do with upgrading Lion or to Lion.

Freeze Problem Macbook Pro 13"

hey guys...i have a huge problem with my macbook pro 13"! i updated it to 8GB RAM. But even if i did this, my mac often freezes and stands still. No matter if i use just Safari or my Pro DJ Software, it makes huge problems...PLEASE HELP ME

Run Apple Hardware Test on your system, if no problems are found, try resetting your SMC. If you are still having problems I would replace the hard drive.

FaceTime Problem - MacBook Pro Retina

Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I have a problem with FaceTime.
During a video call (only a video call, during FaceTime Audio I don't have any problems) I hear and see the other person well, but the other person sees me and feels jerky, sometimes subtle, but sometimes that makes it impossible for the other person to understand me. Tried with three different people.
how to solve?
It is not a wifi problem because I've tried with the iPhone and it did not give these problems ...
Thank you!
MacBook pro Retina (13' late 2013) 512 GB

Hi there,
I have the same computer as you, and I've noticed the same thing. Both facetime and skype have similar audio issues. I can seem to hear the other side fine, but my audio particularly breaks up a lot.
The audio though my phone is perfectly fine when I facetime though the same network using my iphone. I previously had a 15" macbook pro late 2011 and the audio was fine. I realize the microphones are different in this new retina (late 2013) model - though the audio problems seem to occur even with an external microphone as well.

I tried remove battery, change hardrive, reset SMC still the same problem. Is here something like first help, or where could be problem.
Thanks

You could try a PRAM reset - not sure it will resolve the problem, but it won't hurt to try:

If the problem persists I'd recommend you call Apple and get them to look at it under warranty.
(P.S. no problems with your English - it's excellent )

External monitor problem macbook pro mid 2012

Hi everyone i have a really big problem.
I add a new SSD OWC extreme 6G and a Data Doubler with the original HDD of my macbook pro, i follow all the instructions, i install the latest OSX and install all my apps, till there everything went well and awesome, really fast and i was really happy, but when i connect my external monitor a Samsung SyncMadster T220M my macbook pro freeze but if i disconnet goes back to normal.
I shutdown and restart, connect again and the same.
If i shoutdown the mac and connect the monitor and then turn on, the OS does not start and stay loading.
SSD is the main Hard Drive and the standard HDD is the secondary for DATA
I follow almost all the advice on http://blog.alutam.com/2012/04/01/optimizing-macos-x-lion-for-ssd/ except the advice only for SSD because i have SSD+HDD
also i download the app Chameleon SSD Optimiser and turn on everything
I really need help!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
I USE MY MACBOOK PRO FOR PRESENTATIONS!!!

I had never heard of "Chameleon SSD Optimiser" but I took a look at it after reading your message... I'm not sure that 'turning everything on' was a wise idea... enabling TRIM is fine, of course. I wouldn't think that 'Chameleon' options would have anything to do with your problem, however.
What sort of adapter are you using with your Samsung monitor? I would imagine that there is either a hardware fault with the adapter, or with either your Mac port or the port on the monitor.

Severe wireless problems; MacBook Pro 13inch Early 2011

I just installed updates on my MacBook Pro 13inch early 2011. I now have severe problems with my wireless. What can I do to undo the updates? One of them was a firmare update.

There is generally no need to undo the Updates, just Re-Do your wireless setup:
System Preferences > Netowrk > WiFi > ( Assist Me ) ...
... Assistant.
Be sure to specify a new Location.

Power ON Macbook Pro with keyboard

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to set up my Apple wireless keyboard to turn on my Macbook pro (using Lion)?
My old G4 used to power ON with the wired keyboard, would be helpful to do the same with this new configuration.
Thanks,
fotoz

Question - Is it harmful to the laptop to allow it to sleep only and never turn it OFF?
Not harmful to the computer itself, but if your machine sleeps longer than three or four days without the AC adapter connected, you're likely to find its battery dead when you try to rev it up again. And if the battery is left discharged for long, it may never come back to life.
And if "never" in your post really means never at all, that won't really do it any harm either, but it's neither wise nor likely to be possible. If you really mean "almost never", like once every few weeks or months, that's perfectly OK. My own MBP hasn't been shut down for a grand total of twelve hours since I got it more than three years ago. It sleeps whenever I'm not using it.

FireWire Audio Heat Problem (Macbook Pro, Late 2008) VIDEO proof

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYHnX3CGUoo
After a lot of hours of trying to figure out WHY my macbook pro heats up (a lot) when i connect my newly bought Apogee Duet firewire audio interface, i found out that actually what was happening is that there are CPU spikes of extremely short period (so short that Activity Monitor and iStat could not catch) constantly spiking the CPU frequency from 1596Mhz (Idle) to 2572Mhz (Maximum). Apart from the frequency spike there is also a VOLTAGE spike from 1.0v to 1.15.
I know that this is normal due to speedstep technologies and such BUT the rapid spiking and alterations of frequency and voltage ALWAYS happening when i have my Firewire audio plugged is not normal to me. There is nothing else running, everything's idle and i only plug the firewire interface.
Also this is not happening when i restrict OSX from loading AppleFWAudio.kext (either by deleting, moving, renaming it). I connect the firewire audio interface, the leds are illuminating but no heat problem (thats to show you that is not because the interface is self-powered)
Whats going on seems to be similar with the problems occurred after Mac Pro Audio Update to users that was using FW audio devices. They were hearing a sine noise coming from their macpro and propably that was because the same thing was happening. Constant spikes of voltage to the CPU. I dont have a macpro thought so i cant apply the update Apple released for that issue.
Also, my macbook is using Lucent / Agere (LSI) firewire chipset (the particular and known revision 6) but i dont think that this is the cause since Apogee didnt have any problems with the chipset
Info: The app im using to monitor the Frequency and Voltage is CoolBook, can be found here: http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html

Firewire Audio disconnected / or AppleFWAudio.kext unloaded = Idle temp arround 50 celcius (iStat)
Firewire Audio Connected with AppleFWAudio.kext loaded = Idle temp arround 60 celcius (iStat)
If theres a possibility that this is due to bus powered firewire device (cause i have an external FW hard drive that is self-powered and temps are not rising when i connect it) then AppleFWAudio.kext maybe manages something with bus powered firewire.
Maybe when i have the interface connected but the kext not loaded the mA sucked by the interface are too little for causing a temp rise but by the time the kext is loaded and the interface is converting audio the mA required tops up so the temp rise comes from the mA load on the firewire bus and not the cpu itself.
*Even if that's the case, the rapid spikes of throttling on the cpu by the time the Firewire Audio interface is connected bothers me. This isn't something that should normaly happen on an idling machine.*

IWork download problem Macbook Pro 13 Retina Late 2013

I have Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 and can't download iWork for free, appstroe still want pay from me :/

The apps should show up in your "Purchases" history - did you check there? If still having problems, contact the Mac App Store support folks -> http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.
Good luck,
