RSD on while plugged in

Well about 4 weeks ago i started experiencing the RSD, i came to these forums and found some suggestion to help and i tried them. For those 3 weeks my MB worked fine, then 6 days ago the RSD started again, I took my MB over to a friends house and used it on battery for 6 hrs with no shutdowns but as soon as I plugged it into the wall i got about 4 shutdowns in 4 mins. Has anyone that has RSD found that they have more while on teather then on battery?

the day it started happening to me, i removed the battery and tried it on straight AC power, but it did the same exact thing. from what ive observed, the RSD issue goes away temporarily if you allow your computer to sit unused for a while, and after it happens again, it will start happening more frequently so long as you keep attempting to use it. this is usually why it doesnt cooperate when you try to demonstrate your problem to an apple tech; in the time it takes for you to get to the store, the computer settles down and allows you to use it again, even if for just a short while. im still not sure on any patterns, since i never allowed my computer to do this for more than a day before bringing it in.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing 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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Macbook Pro shuts off multiple times per day while plugged in to charger, won't restart until charger is unplugged?

Hi,
I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2.4GHz running OS X 10.6.8.
I have a brand new (4 week old) battery and brand new charger (Battery was replaced because the OEM battery swelled up and started to split open, which also happened on my prior two Macbook Pro 17").
I leave the laptop on 24/7, while plugged into the charger. Every single day, the laptop shuts down without notice, while I'm not using it, and with nothing running, except Google Chrome on occasion. When I return to use the laptop, it will not turn on with any kep press or by pushing the power button, but the MOMENT you unplug the charger from the side, it turn on instantly, WITHOUT using the power button.
The battery works flawlessly, holds a charge and lasts a long time, and then recharges as normal, so it doesn't appear to be the battery; and the charger obviously works because it's keeping the battery charged every day 24/7...so why is my laptop shutting off EVERY single day, twice a day or more? It's nothing in my energy saving settings, nor is it a software error. I have also reset the PRAM which did nothing.

Nothing that anyone says here can repair damaged or faulty hardware. Use this page to locate the nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider — there are several in Vermont:

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.

Using iPhone while plugged in

Is it OK for the battery to use the phone while plugged in as I usually do with my lap top instead of constantly recharging while using the apps?

In the same way you can use TomTom in a car while it's charging through the holder, yes it's fine

Phone will only stay on while plugged in

I have an iphone 4. It will only stay on while plugged in. While unplugged it shows nothing but a black screen. It will not connect to wifi. It won't even left me swipe the on/off switch. Occassionaly it tells me that it is not connecting to the internet. (mostly on facebook but won't allow me on pintrest either). Ideas?

i would say try to restore as new and then replace it

Battery level dropping under load while plugged in

Hi all,
I'm, the otherwise happy owner of a retina Macbook Pro form July 2014 (with a 85w power supply)
I have the issue that, whenever my computer is under load and uses the discrete graphics card, its dropping power - even though the charger was connected.I know the discrete graphics card uses up more power, but honestly it cannot be true that if I play a game in high settings on the macbook (which only has a keyboard, mouse and charger connected in that case), then the battery drops... It cannot sustain itself or what? (I have never experienced this with any other laptop, so I hope for the love of God, this is not what to expect).
Also, just the other day, I was using 2x external monitors (with their own power supplies), and just watching a Twitch (videogame stream) in a browserwindow on one of the screens, and the charge started dropping, even while plugged in again -- it dropped maybe (a wild guess) 10% an hour or so.
The setup there was: I had iMessage open on the screen on the macbook - nothing else; I had a PDF displayed on the first external screen and I had a browser-window open with a video-stream on the second external screen. A mouse, keyboard, powersupply and 2x videooutputs (1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort), was connected to the macbook at that moment...
I mentioned that I couldnt play anything with high settings, or watch a videostream while using external monitors without draining the battery power to a friend that has had a few macs - he had note experienced it before, and told me to post in here (After we agreed that since the external displays had their own power supplies, they shouldn't be dealbreakers). I'm hoping you can help me shed some light on the issue and help me. If something might need to be sent back to Apple for replacement, I'd rather do it before I personalize it too much.
Thanks alot!

Thanks for the answers I see.... A shame since the 85W charger is by my understanding the highest wattage one Oh well, thanks!

Classic froze while plugged into car stereo would rather not reset

classic froze while plugged into car stereo via usb would rather not rest .any ideas?

Why are you not wanting to reset it? You could try connecting it to iTunes for syncing and then properly ejecting it to see if that helps.

Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

You have a lot of things going on here...you are keeping the Air plugged in all the time, you should run on the battery periodically to give it some exercise, you are keeping it on all the time which may be keeping it under constant or near constant load, and you are doing all of that to download pirated content, for which you will get no help on here.

Phone discharging while plugged in at night, battery dead in the morning

I'm using the OEM charger and OEM battery that came with my phone, and I charge it at night everynight. I also use the phone as my alarm clock, and have done so since I bought it over 2 months ago. Suddenly this week it has discharged overnight while being plugged in. This happened twice. I plugged it in and went to bed, leaving the desk clock on (with the night mode activated). The charging light was on and I used the phone while plugged in for a few minutes, and I made sure the charging icon was displayed on the battery icon. This morning I fortunately woke up before my alarm was supposed to sound, however the phone was completely dead. Orange charging light was flashing, still plugged in, but wouldn't do anything at all. I had to do a battery pull and plug it back in, charge for a couple of minutes, and then it would finally come back on. When it did, it showed the battery was at 1%. It is now charging normally, back up to 18% after about 40 minutes of charging, and hasn't frozen again.
The first night this happened, I did not have an alarm set at all. The second night, I did have an alarm set with Alarm Clock Plus app.
I know there is a pending software update, however it hasn't been pushed to my phone yet, and when I try to have the phone search for an update, it shows the update is there but gives me an error message when I try to download it. From what I understand, I just have to wait until Verizon decides to push the update to my phone, is that correct?
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Last week, I received my new ThinkPad Edge E545. Everything seems to work well except for 1 detail: while plugged, I get the message "plugged in, not charging".
Anyone can help me? Thank you!

Glad things have apparently resolved.
Is there anything specific you did that might help other members?
Thanks!

Is anyone else having an issue with touch sensitivity with ipad air 2 while plugged in?

I'm now up to 8.2 hoping with each update it will be fixed. I use my ipad a lot, so sometimes during the day I have to use it while plugged in. You can't even type an email. It drops keys, jumps keys, doesn't respond to touch, and just acts really sluggish. You have to unplug it to type and then plug back in when you're done. Unplugging fixes it instantly. I don't get it. I've read others experiencing this, but I haven't heard about a fix. Anyone?

Are you using an Apple charger?
It may be a current issue from your power outlet. Try changing outlets & charging it plugged into its own receptacle.
I do not have the issue on my iPad Air 2, iOS 8.1.3.

MBP 2011 - Battery Draining While Plugged In?

After playing Splinter Cell: Conviction for a few hours, I noticed the battery had drained a few percentage points while plugged in? Almost as if the graphics card and fans needed even more than what the charger could provide. This has happened more than once, and once I've quit, the battery has no problem climbing back to 100%.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

+*Any help would be great*+
None needed
This is how your machine should be running. There are conditions, generally under a heavy load, that may require more power than can be provided by the power supply alone. During these times, you may see your battery charge slowly decrease even while your machine is plugged in. This KB article refers to MacBook Pros with removable batteries, but it does identify the issue:
