While charging my MacBook Pro, i feel current passing across it. Earthing is fine at home. - India
Its a brand new MacBook Pro.
Hi,
Took the MacBook Pro 13" to Mapple Shop-Auth Service Centre in Mangalore.
Gave the mechine and they took it for diagnose. Later when contacted and informed the same to Apple Cust care, they inform Apple doesnt have any Auth Service Center in Mangalore.
Whom shall i trust.......????
I really feel it was a wrong step buying a Mac.
Contacted Reliance Digital, the Auth Retail guys, from whom i bought the Mac. i asked for replacement. They say, it cannot be provided and Reliance Tech will troubleshoot on it.
Can somebody help me out from this trouble.

I Have a MacBook Pro 13-inch LED-backlit widescreen notebook. I was watching YouTube while I was charging my laptop then I left the room for two mins while I was gone it turned off and the cord is blinking green and orange. What do I do?
Ok, then you can start with the general Apple Support site:http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ or try the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com for support.

Why won't my charger charge my macbook pro?
I am currently on my 2nd charger and it is the "L" shape charger, It just suddenly won't charge my macbook Pro anymore. Is there something wrong with my mac or is it the charger? The first charger, i can still somewhat use it if I bend it a bit...but it's just too much of a hassle to have to hold the charger to have get my macbook pro charged. Is there something I can do other than to buy another charger?
If possible change the battery anyway. The maximum cycle is 1000 (according to Apple). From my point of view your battery still could have a problem.
Those battery health infos are provided by the chip in the battery. Maybe this chip (controls dis-/charging, counts cycles, measures capacity...) has a damage. This could defeat the charger. Probably... :-)
Or, you play often games which requires more power, than the ratter low power magsafe charger can deliver. This is quite easily possible and when this is the case, the charger and the battery deliver electrical power at the same time. The problem in this case is, that the only 85W from the charger are not enough to charge the battery. The charger can in this case be in the fridge, it still gets really hot... to hot maybe after some houres (when I play games, this happens as well).
Install iStateNano (free widget), it does proviede the health in percentage calculated with the max capacity. If it shows around 50%, you really should change the battery... or sell the mac :-) -
Which incar charger for Macbook pro ?
Advise please - I need to charge my Macbook pro 15"(2011)in the car, and having looked around it seems like the choice is;
a Belkin AC Anywhere - 300W DC/AC Power Inverter for £15.87 (Amazon)
or
HyperMac Pure DC Car Charger (Protronica) for £119.95
Seems a no-brainer does anyone know of a reason I shouldn't get the Belkin?
The HyperMac says "it is the ONLY non-Apple solution that supports the MacBook Pro dual voltage (16.5~18.5V) operation." Do I need to worry about this?I have been also looking into getting a car charger and also an external batter and I have to agree with what hypermac say on their website that using a set up transformer and then step down the voltage agian with the normal apple charger is not an option I would liek to consider. in the way of efficieny it is not great you have two transformers radiating heat out so thats a mass of energy down the drain already. and also the comment they made on changing the current form DC to AC then from AC back to DC does not seem very good.
Personally I would suggest buy the airline adapter from apple and then get the Hypermac stuffs. also if you use the Airline apater version rather than the Hypermac box thingy where oyu have to modify the cable it will be an easy thign just plugging in the airline adapter into another adapter so its simple for peopel who dont like messing around with cables I think
I would of cause be interested to hear other peoples opinions on this.
sadly I gotta say I am very dissapoited that apple do not have their own car charger. and also even more a backup battery this is a real downfall I have to say which dissapoints me. Since you cannot just simplly swap the internal battery in the mac. -
I want to charge my macbook pro in my campervan,what is the best way
when i go travelling i want to charge my macbook pro on the move,not noticed a in car charger,although i have seen a in plane charger,is there any difference between my swift kontiki and a boeing 747.
ianApple's Airline adapter is designed for the apx 15V DC of airlines to NOT charge the computer's battery, rather to slowdown the battery discharge and extend the use of the computer. It also works in vehicles with 12V DV although it's not as strong as the 15V on airplanes.
So that means you need a fully charged battery before you use the Airline Adapter.
To CHARGE your battery your going to have to use the powerbrick adapter for household current on a house hold current outlet, that's in most cases the only thing strong enough to push the electrons back into the battery.
DO NOT USE step up transformer devices that tap off the vehicles 12V up to 110v and then use the Mac's powerbrick to attempt to charge the laptop, it WILL PROBABLY FRY YOUR VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM as most vehicles are not designed for that purpose to draw that much current. Most are just strong enough to power the car, the lights, charge the battery and your light your cigarette.
Unless you specially know it can handle it, like big RV's and boats have large appliances powered by the engines 12V system, likely the engine will have to be running all the time to produce that much power to feed the power needs of the converter and the powerbrick to charge the battery.
IF you had a portable generator that could produce enough watts to power a small air conditioner, then you could use the 12v DC to 110v AC converter and the Mac's powerbrick to charge the battery. But most generators of that capability already have built in 110v convertors.
Now there is another option, because the MBP uses DC and the 12V is DC you can use a adpater to convert one to the other, no step up or down needed, so you wouldn't need such a strong source of DC current to use the 110v converter.
Unfortunatly Apple's MagSafe connector is proprietary and patented technology and Apple doesn't want anyone using it. So your stuck either splcing in a MagSafe or using a bootleg charger out of China someplace with no recourse if it fries your Mac.

Hi all
The last couple of days when I wanted to charge my Macbook Pro 13", my magsafe adapter stopped working when my MBP found the remaining charging time.
When I charge my MBP with another adapter, it works fine.
What can I do? Do I have to go back to the store? It is only four months old.sounds like a funky charger, go to the store and try anoher if it messes up have it replaced. They've been having issuses wuth the new charger

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?
We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing. Never install anything if you do not know what it is. Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick. Although I am not positive.
Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.
GOOD LUCK! -
I am in Greece, do i need a power converter or can i just use a plug adaptor to charge my macbook pro?
If you are using the included Apple charger, you will simply need a plug adapter.

Can I use an adapter that goes up to 250 volts to charge my MacBook Pro?
Am I able to use an adapter that goes up to 250 volts to charge my MacBook Pro? I just want to make sure that way nothing goes wrong.
Use the "adapter" that comes with the Macbook Pro. It is rated for voltages from 100v to 240v.

I forget to charge my MacBook Pro and it turned off because of that. Now it wont automatically connect to saved networks. I have to put in manually to make it work. Even after restating still the same. If I close the lid it looses conection. Sometimes pulling the Battery out will fixes it untill we forget to chage it.

Charging a MacBook Pro (60 MagSafe) with an Air (45w MagSafe) plug.
Can I safely charge a MacBook Pro (60 MagSafe) with a MacBook Air wall charger (45w MagSafe)? I ask because I'm replacing a 2009 MacBook Pro with a new Air and the Pro cord is dead. I'd like to charge the pro with the air charger so I can transfer files.
The short answer is NO. MacBook Airs use the 45 Watt adaptors, 13" MacBook Pros use the 60Watt and the 15 and larger use an 85Watt adaptor.
You can use a larger size to chage one that needs a smaller wattage, but not the other way around. -

Power ran fully out on my MacBook Pro and is currently recharging. However, cannot get it to restart. Totally dark and have tried to deactivate via power button, keys and track pad but get no response
Sulapeace,
for how long has your MacBook Pro been recharging? Has the light on your MagSafe connector changed color since you’d started recharging it? What do your battery level indicator lights show when you press the button next to them? -
I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
