Turning MacBook Pro on after a power surge

Green light on power cord not coming on/computer won't boot after a power surge. This happened once before and I can't remember which keys needed to be pressed to make it turn on

If the green light won't come on the power adapter, that is completely independent of the computer, so nothing you do to the computer can fix the power adapter light.
I believe the power adapter has its own fuse and that to reset it you have to unplug it on both ends and let it sit for a little bit. At least that's what I seem to remember when it happened to me.

  • Macbook pro shutsdown after removing power cord

    i have a core duo 15" macbook pro with 1.5 gb ram and whenever i remove the power cord it automatically shutsdown (battery is 100% full charge). i bought the machine on september and i started to have the same issue after 2 months of use.
    i took it to an apple store and they said it is fine and they didnt find any thing wrong with the battery. now its starting to do it again and ive also noticed a slight bulge in the middle of the battery near the check charge button. also, i used the coconut battery app to check its life (not charge) and its down to 75% already and it also says the age of my mac is about 1000 months! (what the?).
    i dont want to take it to the store again, so if i call apple support am i likely to swap my battery for a new one? im feeling that all these issues point to a faulty battery and i am entitled to a new one that enables me to use my laptop without the power cord plugged in all the time!
    thanks

    I do have the same problem exactly.
    My MacBook Pro shut down at full charge after I removed the power cord. It wouldn't turn on again even after a PMU-reset.
    Curiously when I left it for a night and tried the next morning it worked perfectly fine. But the problem persisted. I called apple support and they sent me to the next store with a case ID. Now it's been in repair for a week but the technician cannot reproduce problem - that is very frustrating.
    The problem seems to come up only after working with the MBP for an extended period of time with the power cord plugged in. A wild guess: the battery's internal security-circuitry may be faulty.
    I hope this issue is resolved quickly - I became a laughing stock at work after I said I'd pay the high price for an MBP so that I get superior design and reliability and two weeks after the machine is in repair. Very annoying.

  • Problem with turning macbook pro on after being put to sleep

    My macbook pro is acting strange, if i put it to sleep after 50% battery and turn it on again i get a grey screen, then it turns off. if i use the power button again it boots up and tell me that the time and date is not accurate then it turns off again.

    Try a SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything

    Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
    After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
    Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 with 4GB Ram.

  • My macbook pro crashes after a few minutes of playing a game or using photoshop? i just got it fixed motherboard. do i have to do an update?

    my macbook pro crashes after a few minutes of playing a game or using photoshop? i just got it fixed motherboard. do i have to do an update?

    There are no updates currently available beyond v10.8.4 for Mountain Lion.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    If that doesn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Turn the Mac off, wait about ten seconds then startup while holding down the Command + R keys. Let go of the keys when you see the spinning progress indicator.
    From there you should be able to access the utilities in recovery mode to verify and repair the disk if necesssary, or reinstal OS.

    Hi mzantop,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    So you get no video or startup chimes but do hear clicks from your MacBook Pro.
    Please check out this article for troubleshooting steps

  • Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

    Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
    E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
    Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
    If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

    Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
    I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

  • Can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market

    Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
    However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
    Java is vulnerable… Again?!

    You mean you just bought a game though iTunes thinking it was for your MacBook Pro.
    So how do I get the game on my macbook pro
    You don't. You can go to Apple menu > App Store to purchase games for your MacBook.
    or get my money back.

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • Can my ipod be revived after a power surge?

    Can my ipod be revived after a power surge?

    The power surge was into the iPod through the outlet where it was plugged in with a power cord.  I tried the steps mentioned and none seem to work.  When I plug the iPod into the computer via the USB cord...the iPod gets very warm in one of the lower corners but doesn't power up or allow me to recover it.  I'm guessing it's fried.  Thanks anyway for the assistance.
