When Unplugged my MacBook turns off

Like the subject says my MacBook turns off immediately after I unplug it. Also it continuously states that its calculating the battery. It shows the little plug inside the little battery outline and the plug's light is green. What should I do?

Try to reset the SMC (System Management Controller).
Have you done the battery update? About Battery Update 1.2. Depending on your model you may not need it. read the instructions.
If none of this helps I suggest you contact Apple support for more help. You may have a bad battery.

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Retina Flashing green light on charger when fully charged (macbook turned off or lid closed)

    Hi there,
    Just got a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014. I have noticed that when the Macbook is turned off or the lid is closed the green light on the charger is blinking. It seems it does this when the Macbook Pro is fully charged and I am not sure if it is a fault with the charger or if it just does this when its fully charged? When the laptop is open and plugged in it doesn't do this.

    You tried the SMC Rest right?

    do you think the battery is damaged?
    Could be - unusual problem. I don't think that there's much that we can do for your here - best to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP for a diagnosis.

  • My MacBook turns off immediately when it is not plugged

    Hi all, I've had this macbook for about 2 years now.
    It had no problems at all. (I didn't use my macbook for like months)
    Then I needed it for my school, so I installed windows 7 using bootcamp a few days ago.
    and I've noticed that my macbook turns off immediately when it's unplugged.
    i thought it is because of windows at first time,
    but I booted on with Mac OS and it has same problem.
    It just turns off immediately. and it won't back on until I plug it to charger.
    Is it battery problem? or could it be anything else?

    Sounds like the battery to me. Usually they don't like being left for months especially if fully charged.
    Check the battery health
    Click on the Apple icon at the top left corner of the screen
    Click on "About this Mac"
    Click on "More Info"
    Under Hardware, click on "Power". This will show you information about your battery, including how many cycles the battery has been through, it's charging ability and so on.
    Thanks

    1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
    2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

  • My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?

    I have a problem. Yesterday, i shutdown Macbook incorrectly (Long press on the power button). Now when I try to turn on Macbook, on the screen appears system recovery.When the recovery is completed - MacBook turn off. I recorded this moment on video: http://www.4shared.com/video/wbT7TO1n/MacBook_Turn_off_after_recover.html
    How to solve this problem?
    Thanks guys.

    Hello Alex,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was booting just to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you are experiencing:

  • Problem: Fan at full speed all the time - even when the Mac is turned off

    Hello,
    my Mac mini suffers from a very strange problem. I've had it for half a year now and recently bought a new power adaptor since my old one got damaged. I plugged it in and everything was fine - until half an hour afterwards, when the fan suddenly made itself noticeable at full speed. But it didn't stop; it went on, curiously even when I shut the Mac mini down. That's right. even when the system's turned off. The noise is really unbearable and only stops when I plug off the power cord.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    My Mini started doing this yesterday. I came home from work and the fan was going full blast. Even after shutting the machine down, the fan would continue to run at full speed (and it is LOUD...much louder than my full tower desktop PC with 4 80mm fans). The only way to stop the fan is to completely unplug the Mini from the power supply.
    I doubt that this is due to faulty wiring as my Mini is plugged in to a very nice UPS unit that conditions the power.
    Now, I'm willing to admit that this may be entirely my fault since I have upgraded my Mini with 1 GB of RAM, a Pioneer DVD burner, and a higher capacity hard drive. However, the Mini has been running 24-hours-a-day for 5-6 months since my final upgrade, so it would seem that my upgrades are unrelated to this issue. Also, since someone else is having the same problem, again, my upgrades seem unrelated.
    I was told on another forum to try resetting the PMU, which I will try when I get home today. If it works, I'll post. Seems unlikely though since the fan runs even when the Mini is powered down.
    If anyone has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm assuming that my Mini is no longer under the 1-year warranty since I have performed so many upgrades myself, so, if this problem is something that can only be fixed by Apple, then it will probably cost an arm and a leg.

  • My iPod won't play unless it's being charged. Once I unplug it, it turns off, help!

    I dropped it a while ago (stupid, yes) and the whole thing fell apart. I put it together again, and when it's plugged into a charger it works, but when I unplug it, it turns off and won't turn on. My friend thinks it's a battery issue, help please!

    That definitely sounds like a battery issue. However, could be the battery connector itself is unplugged or loose enough so that it contain build up a charge.  Either way, your iPod will need to be serviced.

  • HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

    Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

    I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

    You will need to do that by syncing them with a computer and then syncing the computer with the iPad.

  • Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch?

    Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch? Enquiring minds want to know.

    Are you asking if the phone logs when someone mutes it? No, I don't believe so. Or, are you asking if audio recording apps still record when the phone is muted? Why don't you use the included VoiceMemo app and test it?
    Best of luck.

  • I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • SCE 2010 Alerts when windows firewall is turned off

    Is it possible in SCE 2010 to have a email alert when someone manually turns off their firewall and does not turn it back on again? And if so how can that be accomplished? Originally I was going to just enforce this from Group Policy but this doesn't allow
    people to enable or disable their firewalls. It just enables the firewall and grays out all other options. 
    This is a Domain with two 2008 R2 servers. The reason people need to be able to turn off their firewalls is for testing purposes. 
    Thank you so much.
    Knowledge is Power.

    When the firewall is turned off, it will generate an event log. You could create a monitor Alert Generating NT-Event-Log-Based Rule to monitor this event log.

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.
