Third party battery - display showing "not charging"

Hello everyone,
After my original battery started to behave as it had come the highest time to replace it ("service battery", sudden shutdowns), I did it and another issue has popped up immediately.
I bought a third party battery in service point and after installing it and plugging the charger I noticed the green light indicator was still on. At the same time the battery display on the menu bar has been showing the battery is not charging (occasionally it turns into "charging" but then comes back to "not charging") although it actually does but very slowly. I tried to calibrate the battery but when the computer was about to go to sleep it just shut down suddenly when reached 1%. However I let it stay unplugged for the 5 hours, hoping it might helped eventually but when I plugged the charger the condition remained unchanged. Beside that the battery holds power properly.
Of course I tried resetting SMC but it didn't change anything either.
Does anyone have any idea what's the cause may be? I'd be bery grateful for any hint.
Thanks in advance
Pawel
PS: sorry for any syntax/grammar mistakes..

Yeah, this is exactly what I was (and stil am) going to do tomorrow but wanted to do some research earlier anyway.
I've just installed the old battery and the orange light appeared right away so I guess it's not the MagSafe issue. Besides, as You wrote, it would be extremely weird if it just stopped working at this moment.
While I was researching the internet I stumbled across some thread where someone wrote some logic boards may just not recognize the third-party batteries (cheap chinese one in this case). I suppose it may be the reason but it's only my guess.
Thanks for reply

Battery status showing "not charging" when power adapter is plugged in

I just bought a brand new Magsafe adapter 60w for my macbook but it seems that when i plugged in to my macbook, the battery status showed "not charging". I have to disconnect and plug in again. This also happened when I used my previous power adapter, that is why I got a new one. Is this a common problem? Please advise what could be done.

Hi
Try resetting the SMC. This sometimes solves this type of problem, in fact, it's listed as one of the reasons why you should try this:

HT3964 Installed a new battery for a Macbook 2,1 New battery not charging. Battery symbol shows (Not charging) and replace battery. Green LED on magsafe connection. Disconnection results in an instant shutdown.

I have just installed a new Battery after the old one showed (Not Charging) and when you clicked on this icon the dropdown"condition replace now". Problem now is the computer still shows the same message in the top bar (Not Charging) and the dropdown also shows "condition relace now". the magsafe show the greem LED i.e not charging, but providing power. If you disconnect the magsafe the computer powers off instantly confirming we have power. I have carried out resetting the SMC controller and still no change. Tested the standby voltage on the magsafe pins etc, all in spec. What should I do now, as I don't want to keep spending more and more. Bellow is the info from the system profiler.

Interesting, since I'm experiencing similar issues (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20098653#20098653)
But before you go back, try this first: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3421
I have a different device name, but it just might work for yours.

Charging issues - display says not charging - but actually is!

I have the O.G. version of ipad running ios5.1.1 and whenever I plug in the charger now - it says "charging device not supported", then battery display says "not charging" - not sure how to fix this, but if i leave it plugged into the computer instead of a wall socket it does very slowly trickle charge the battery.
Anyone have any suggestions about why it's doing this and how to fix it?
I have tried multiple different chargers in wall and different computers also with same result.

The iPad charger is 10W
The iPhone charger is only 5W
Important to use thw 10W charger.
Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Hi sanjoyapple,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be concerning when your battery is not functioning as you would expect. There are several steps that I would recommend in this situation to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting the MagSafe adaptor and possibly resetting the SMC would be two of these steps. Please read over the attached article for instructions and more information on troubleshooting batteries.

Third-party battery & charger?

Hi all,
Has any of you had any experience with 3rd party camera batteries & chargers? Would it cause any damange to the camera? Would it cause problems when doing repairs via BB or the manufacturer?
I'm considering this option because BB is making me extremely frustrated by making a simple battery replacement difficult & time-consuming (the whole story: CLICK HERE)
But I don't want BB or Panasonic to deny my right to repair the camera within the warranty due to using a third-party battery/charger.

To my knowledge, no manufacturer covers damage caused by using third party accessories under any circumstances (that would be silly).
In the US, the manufacturer cannot forbid you from using third party acessories and it cannot directly change your warranty status, and there are similar laws in most other countries; only if the third party accessory damages your camera.
For batteries and chargers, there is little downside, as even if the cells contained within are of a low quality, they would undervolt the camera, which it is designed to handle safely (although you wouldn't LIKE it, it won't damage your camera), not overvolt it, which would cause damage - and even overvoltage will only cause damage if it's significant. The camera has to be pretty tolerant of batteries acting up, because even the best Li-Ion frequently have trouble.
I'm a former Geek Squad employee, and I've spent my entire life and career taming technology. Kudos appreciated.

Third party battery recommendation

Hi all,
I am thinking about buying a new battery for my 15" Powerbook (FW 800). Anyone have recommendations for a good third party battery? I've found numerous references to the NuPower battery (though, does it matter that it's 11.1 V instead of 10.8 V?):
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP15AL4800/
I've also found this battery from needbattery.com which has the highest amp hours I've seen (5.85), though since some manufacturers report Watt-hours instead it's hard to compare :
http://tinyurl.com/etwr2
There is also this interesting (and perhaps more environmentally friendly?) option of refilling the battery):
http://tinyurl.com/gny4s
Any thoughts/recommendations? I'm clearly not so saavy on the battery issue. Thanks for any advice.

How many time have you run battery reset? Mine took 4 times before the recall test tool showed I qualify.
You need to install Power manager.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62928.html
Once installed preform a reset
Lenovo Power Manager > Advanced > Battery Tab > Battery Maintenance > Preform Reset
I had to preform 4 resets before the battery biagnostic tool saw the bad battery and I was able to get a recall replacement. The reset build a log of the battery problem and the diagnostic tool uses that log to decide if you get a replacement.

Third party battery grip

I have a third party battery grip for my t2i. For some reason, I cannot adjust the aperture or f/stop when it is connected. I disconnect it and presto chango, the manual settings go like butter. How come?

The battery grip does two things:
1) It holds two batteries instead of just one. Doubling your battery capacity. The batter power is always available to the camera.
2) The battery grips also have a few extra controls so that you can hold the camera in a "vertical" orientation (aften referred to as "portrait" orientation) and you get an extra shutter button, main dial, etc. However, those controls will only work if the power switch on the battery grip is switched to the "on" positioon. The controls on your main camera body (not on the grip) should work regardless of whether the battery grip's power switch is on or not (assuming your main camera is switched on.)
Do you lose ability to control the aperture and shutter settings even when using the controls on the main camera when the grip is attached?
Is the switch on the grip in the "on" or "off" position when you have this problem, or does it matter?
Since this is a 3rd party grip, Canon wont be able to do much to support you (other than to suggest you buy the Canon brand grip, which they do support).

Hello all,
I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
"The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
1. How to fix this?
2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
OSX 10.10.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Duncan.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

Ipad shows not charging

My ipad is showing not charging. I have checked the cords, plug ins etc. and have tried to charge via my PC and directly into the wall. It still shows not charging. Anyone had this issue?

First, try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
Usually when an iPad own't charge it's one of four things
bad power brick or wrong power brick
bad cord
bad outlet
Verify that the brick you're using is a 10-12W charger, not a 5W iPhone charger.
swap out the card or outlet to confirm or rule those out
If you go thorugh this and your iPad still can't charge, then the foruth thing could be an issue with the port. You can blow it out with a can of air if you have it (don't go digging around in there because if you hurt those pins, then even if there is something wrong inside, the blame will fall on any damage you do)
If you're down to thinking it's your ipad's port, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it. If your port has failed (not been damaged) then it could fall under a manufacturer's defect and be covered by the warranty
