Why does my Macbook Aluminium crash when plugged in?

My Macbook Aluminium had been running fine until a few hours ago. I replaced the battery earlier this year. I went to plug in the charging cord and the light turned from red to green even though it wasn't fully charged and then my computer turned itself off. I tried this a second time after turning the computer back on and it did the same thing. I took out the battery, put it back in, let it rest. It's working now, but I'm sure as soon as i go to charge it, it will turn off again. Also, I'm not in the US so it's hard to find tech support in person. Any ideas on what's happening or how to fix it?

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

    Thanks for the response. I tried both methods with the same end result.
    I'm in safe mode now. It doesnt show up as being plugged in. It worked fine when connected with the USB-I went to disk utilities and repaired the disk.
    I tried to plug in with the firewire, again and it shut down my computer..

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

    1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend  file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
    Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

    Why does my pages app crash when I try to email a document?

    Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

    Why does App Store always crash when I try to open the appliction?

    You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

  • Why does my Macbook Pro crash almost immediately when I'm offline?

    My Macbook Pro (late 2007 if i'm right) crashes randomly, whether I'm using a program or not. Suddenly the whole screen freezes (I see a black mouse and not the spinning ball of death). So I'm forced to use the hard restart.
    It started a while ago, when I still was using Snow Leopard. So I did a clean install, and had to buy Mountain Lion. Ever since the clean install there were 3 software updates. But still I'm having the crash problem.
    After this last update to 10.8.5 I'm noticing that when I turn WiFi off it almost immediately crashes. And sometimes when I reboot I don't have the time to turn on WiFi again or it already has crashed.
    Though I remember that my mac also crashed when I was using the ethernet cable and when i was using WiFi. Only now with the offline modus it seems that crashing is the only thing he can do.
    This is what I already tried:
    -Making a second account as administrator and start up in the safe mode: but still crashes when I go offline.
    -using disk utility to veridy and repair disk permissions: all good.
    -NVRAM reset
    -SMC reset
    I don't know what kind of information anyone needs, but:
    Processor  2,2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Geheugen  4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Videokaart  NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 128 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    And my harddrive has 56 gb free right now.

    Thank you for your fast answer.
    Even though I don't understand the connection between working offline and my videocard I believe you because I see sometimes blocked images when something tries to load or when i scroll down, mostly in photoshop. So I'm considering buying a new computer.
    I tested my harddrive a while ago and it still seemed ok. (still i back up all the important stuff constantly).
    Though I wanted to ask if you know if the Nvidia is a part of my logic board. I had my logic board replaced in 2010 because of an Nvidia error. So that part isn't that old. Still I can imagine that it doesn't work well anymore with other hardware or software on my computer.

    Why does my pre pro cc crash when rendering?  It has done this repeatedly

    There can be a LOT of reasons.  You'll need to start investigating and eliminating variables.
    Start by turning GPU acceleration off if it's turned on, and go from there.

    Download and install the latest flash plugin only from the adobe flash download page.  I believe safari is disabling or removing older versions of the flash plugin.

  • Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

    When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

    I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
    I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
    Good Luck!

  • Why does my macbook shut down when the lid is closed?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro (mid-2012) running 10.9.1
    Last week out of the blue, the Macbook started shutting down whenever I close the lid.
    When I open the lid, the logon screen appears (as if it's been asleep as normal) but almost immediately reboots itself.
    Has anyone else got the same issue? Any idea how to resolve?
    Thanks

    If after you open the lid you do get the login screen, almost immediately, but then it restarts your system is not shutting down when you close the lid. It is going into a sleep state but then crashes when trying to come out of that sleep state. There are quite a few posts on this problem and it seems to be caused by the system going into the Deep Sleep state also known as the hibernate mode. That is where the contents of the RAM is written to the hard drive and the system suspends supplying power to the RAM chips so the system uses even less power then in regular sleep mode.
    That is only supposed to happen after the system has been in the regular sleep mode for an extended period of time.
    To check the state of the huiberbnate mode open terminal and type in, or copy and paste, this command.
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    To check the state of all power management settings use the command.
    pmset -g

  • Why does LabView 7.1 crash when using "Get Channel Info" vi ?

    Hello,
    I have written a program to get channel information for all my virtual channels. It worked fine in Labview 6i but when we upgraded to 7.1, it crashes with "Labview has generated errors and will be closed by WIndows". We have a SCXI-1001 with 6 SCXI 1102 modules, 2 SCXI 1102B modules, 1 SCXI-1102C module, and one SCXI-1140 module. Debugging reveals that the program crashes when the 1102C module channels are reached. I have attached the code I am currently using. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Neil

    Hello,
    I have two questions for you please:
    1. You mentioned early that debugging revealed that the problem was being originated on the SCXI-1102C module. Can you please try taking this module out and test your program again? Also try testing only one module and see if it works, then keep on adding more and see what happens.
    2. I run your program on LabVIEW 7.1 and it didn't give me any problems. In general, anything on LabVIEW 6.1 cab be recognized by LabVIEW 7.1, so maybe the order of installation you did is not correct. Did you first take the board out, uninstall the previous version of NI-DAQ you had, install LabVIEW 7.1, then NI-DAQ 7.3 and then plugged the board in?
    Please let me know about this.
    Thanks,
    LA
