While starting up my Macbook Pro it runs for like a minute. Then it turns off. I know i need to replace my battery...is this my problem? Its connected to the wall so does it still need battery to run?
My Macbook Pro wont stay on. (a min ar so)
I know my battery has to be changed...it's not storing any energy no more...its done.
But my Macbook is connected to the wall....so it gets its energy i would say?
Is it possible the Book needs a good battery also when its connected?
You think my problem will be solved by buying a new battery?
HELP I NEED THIS FOR WORK!!!
thanx Coen
The MBP should still operate when you are using a power adapter and plugged into a properly functioning wall outlet. From your post it sounds like you simply need a new battery so the you can operate the MBP without a power adapter.
If ot does not operate with the power adapter, you have other electrical issues.
Ciao.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

my problem is that I can't turn on my Mac when I turn it on it take me to a gray screen which have an apple in the middle of the page and under the apple there is a small loading box which can't reach to the middle of the box
It might be an issue with your HD. Run Disk Utility from your installation disk and "Varify" your Macintosh HD to see if there any issues. Hopefully you have a backup of your data.
After runing "Varify" see if Disk Utility's "Repair" can repair the problems if they exist.
If there's nothing wrong with the HD try "Repair disk Permissions"
Best of luck -

FaceTime not working on my Macbook Pro. I am able to sign in successfully and add contacts. When I try to call a contact with an iPhone, it says connecting then fails by ending automatically. When someone try to FaceTime me,I accept but it says connecting then fail. I only have a MacBook Pro to FaceTime and not an iPhone. I was informed that I should be able to FaceTime from my laptop via video call without an iPhone.
Please advise.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again. -
MacBook PRO 3,1 17", 2.4 Ghz NOT CHARGING - TURNS OFF WITHOUTH AC ADAPTER
Hello, please help me!!
Yesterday my 17", 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook PRO 3,1 just started to be in NOT CHARGING MODE..
I don't know where is the problem.
About i half year ago, i have bought a new battery for this machine and it worked until today great. The battery capacity and also time of use was very good…about 2-3 hours of work - or longer if i didn't work so much on this machine.
Yesterday evening i started the MacBook PRO without AC cable plugged in and during the startup session the screen lights off, and also the machine completely turned off. I thought it is a battery remaining capacity problem at 0%, so i plugged in the AC adapter to charge again the battery. But the indicator on the cable still lights green (vexer orange again as one day before) and the battery status is showing NOT CHARGING. If I unplug now the AC adapter the computer turn immediately off. So i loose all my data and everything not saved.
I was looking to system profiler to find the problem in the battery, or to see where should be the trouble. But there it looks like it is s all OK. Using the coconutBattery 2.7 I see this:
Current charge: 3391 mAh
Maximum charge: 6446 mAh
at 52%
Curent capacity: 6646 mAh
Design capacity: 6800 mAh
at 94%
Age of mac: 45 Months
Battery loadcycles: 107
Battery temperature: 30.0° C
Battery power usage: 593.4 Watt
I tired to fix the CMU with releasing battery - holding 5 sec power and so on..
Also tried to repair permissions if there is some possible error - it only writes this one not repairable file:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Do you know where should be the problem? Is is the hardware or software problem?
How to FIX this error? I cant ow use this machine for my work on the go, which is for me very important.
If it is the HW problem what type of arrow it should be? Macbook is in grate condition. Last year there was an Graphic Card error, so i gave it to Apple center and they fixed it with the Apple Care program for this machine…
Its possible the battery is dead? Should i visit the Apple store to try another battery or the MacBook has serious problem in HW on motherboard?
Thank you in advance for help and any possible solutions.

Macbook pro outlook contacts not synching with IPhone 6. Turned off cloud.
I traded in an Iphone 4 for an Iphone 6. MacBook Pro (outlook 2011 contacts) did sync perfectly with iPhone 4. Not able to synch contacts with iPhone 6. (did turn off cloud functionality) . Thanks for your reply.

I cannot update, it just says its connecting to the server and does nothing but sit there.
(1) -Firefox keeps crashing for no reason. (2) -I am offered an update but when I say yes to update, the window shows that my MacBook Pro is trying to connect to the server. However, this goes on for hour after hour and never actually connects, or downloads the update. I have also a MacBook Air, which shows the same symptoms.
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

CAUTION
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to iTunes. See:

When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?
The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option. The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
You might run an Apple Hardware Test:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11342
This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
