What to do after resetting the MBP SMC?
I have a MBP 2011 model. After having slow frame rates on games running on bootcamp, I decided to do the SMC reset as recommended by various forums and discussion threads, and the SMC was successfully reset, HOWEVER..
After restart..
- Battery icon has a "X" on it as teh battery is damaged.
- Keyboard back lights are not working.
- Sleep mode not entered with screen led off.
- Fans are always running at full speed.
- Windows does not start fully.
- Other people reported USBs don't recognize connected devices.
I know all these settings are managed by the SMC and that's why they're not working, so nothing is wrong with the hardware. I serched for these settings in OSX but couldn't find. And all discussions on the net are only talking about how to reset the SMC but not what to do after that.
How do I get these things back?
hi luxuryliner67,
I have already reset pram, here you can read all things I've done and why >
[https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661511#22661511]
when you speak about "chimes"...you mean the "apple restart sound"? I have to hear it at least a couple of times? I'll do...again everything ;-)
finally I'll try also to disconnect the battery connection (I have opened 2 months ago my mac to upgrade memory) as someone suggested here >

if you have any other suggestion, please! you are welcome
thank

The keyboard backlighting is still on under the lit. What can I do? Thanks! (MacBook Pro 2011 13' ; Mac OS X; 2.3 GHz Interl Core i5; 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3)
After reset the SMC, my screen and the keyboard backlighting turn down at the same time when I cover the sensor.
That's precisely what they're supposed to do. -
My husband uses adobe cs5. The clone tool isn't working and after resetting the tools adobe bridge now goes to picasa. How can we make the clone tool work and have bridge go to cs5 not picasa?
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?You do not have to call US, but you need to call. Or else.

My sister has given me an old iPod touch 2 I think it is and after resetting the account info to mine the content was wiped and can not load any games now as it runs 3.1.3 and there all saying they need iOS 5 how can I update it to this
I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -

HT3964 USB port not working even after resetting the SMC and PRAM, what can I do now?
Hi All,
I've got the "USB port draining too much energy" error message a couple of weeks ago and since then I've tried many times to reset the PRAM and SMC but still, one of my USB port is not working.
Could anyone please tell what I can do next ??
Thanks a lotIf you live near an apple store make an appointment. They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage. -
I followed the initial steps in this post and reset pram. After restarting, the screen just shows a folder with a question mark. What does this mean?
Thanks Niel, I tried using Option and nothing happened so I next tried inserting the Leopard disc and rebooting while holding C. Nothing happened until the disc was ejected and then the folder with question mark reappeared. I inserted the disc again and at this point and it booted OSX. I tried to acess disc utility to repair but my harddrive wasn't listed, only the CD drive and the OS disc. Does this mean I'm lost everything?

My MacBook Pro will not charge, even after resetting the SMC.
My MBP will not charge. It's only a little less than 2 years old. I've reset the SMC and even an employee at the genius bar has, it still isn't charging. When I plug in the cord, my battery remains at 13% with a plug icon inside the battery. When I click on the battery, it says "Battery Not Charging" in gray.

My Macbook pro wouldn't start (no screen activity).
So, I did a PRAM but it made noises like 3 short sounds then 3 long sounds or something like that (I never heard sounds like that coming from my macbook and it was so weird and I just can't really and exactly remember the sounds).
Because of those sounds, I read on the Internet that I had to reset the SMC, which I did perfectly according the the steps described on the Apple Support Page (I really and slowly followed the steps perfectly).
Now, instead of those sounds, I do not have anything at all : no light on the adapter cord, no sound at all, no activity, no starting sound, no screen activity, the battery more than half full is not charging at all anymore....it's like the SMC killed my computer.
My Macbook is dead. I tried repeating the SMC steps one by one many times without success. Since it was not working, afterwards, I even tried the steps in an other order (I saw that on another website) but without success.
Can somebody help me ?I have never heard of SMC causing anything like what you are experiencing ever. I suspect that while you were doing the SMC that you Mac suffered a catistrophic failure. Hence my suggestion to take to Apple for repair.
If you want to keep messing with it that is your call. I am done here.
