I dont get it, the usb cord that I am using is an apple product. Everytime I plug my iphone to transfer music, upgrade, and such to my imac and then when I shut down my imac it freezes? I have a leopard latest version 10.6.8.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the impression that my MBP still charges when the power lead is hooked into my macbook. Is that true? Do i have to unplug the power cord each time my macbook is charged? Is there any way that the battery life might be affected?
I hope there is some sort of a circuit involved, that stops charging the battery when the battery is full, rather than overcharging it..
Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting off when I unplug it from the charger
Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
As soon as I unplug the power of my MacBook Pro, it shuts down, and all of my unsaved stuff is lost.
PS Is the battery user replaceable? I am using the Mid-2010 model.
I have a IMac G4 mod. Power mac4,2 operating system osx version 10.411 processor 800 MHz 768 MB SDRAM. Every now and then my mouse pointer freezers up and I have to unplug the mouse and it starts working again. If it does not unfreeze I have to restart. Then I am back in business. Some times the whole screen goes gray with a black square-telling me to shut down and restart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have found the past 4 weeks that my iMac will not respond to any mouse movement, keyboard, trackpad or pushing the power button every 5 days or so. I must unplug from the wall, replug into wall then push power button, then it boots up. I have had iMac for 9 months and has always just went to sleep and when I move mouse awakens. After I must unplug, it works correctly again for 5 to 6 days then must be unplugged again. Anyone know why this is happening as I do not believe any settings have been changed and I am the only user of this iMac.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI started using my macbook pro with an external monitor in mirror mode but I can't seem to unplug the power when I'm in this state, it automatically goes to sleep. I want to be able to unplug my laptop when its fully charged since its recommended to do so to preserve the battery life...but it doesn't seem like I can when using it this way. Or is it really not that big of a deal to unplug your battery every time it's fully charged. Are Apply batteries doomed to poop out eventually no matter what? I suppose turning it off at the end of work day could recoup damage?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got my new Macbook Pro 15 (Mid 2010) laptop a few days ago, and i would just like to know if, when I charge my battery and it's fully charged, should I immediately unplug the power cord or can I leave it? What is the safest and best thing to do?
View 24 Replies View RelatedBefore anything, I had spilt some OJ on my mac (I'm clumsy ), and I took it to the store and they fixed it but they did say that the acid could possibly get farther into the components than they thought, in case that has to do with these incidents.
Anyways, I had noticed that my Mac had not been charging properly. It would charge about 1-6% and then stop. I would even go out and leave it charging and it still wouldn't charge. So I unplug it and it restarts every time, and THEN it starts charging 1% before I have to unplug it again, which causes it to restart again.
Should I replace anything? Take it to the store? Or should I just get a new Mac?
I hope these are the right boards to put this in. I'll try to sum up my problems as best I can. So we have what seems to be an Airport Extreme (fairly certain, as it's very circular and white; it also says Airport Extreme on it now that I look at it). It's worked for a long time, and I've never had any serious problems besides having to unplug it and plug it back in again. Here are the things we use the wifi on:
iPod Touch (3G)
eMac (10.3.9)
Refurbished iBook (now with 10.5)
PlayStation 3
My brother has a new 4G iPod which doesn't want to work with the wifi. My friend however got the same iPod within the same stretch of time, and his iPod totally works at my house, but his old 3G didn't (try to keep that straight). But that's beside the point for now.Now I have been playing video games online on my PS3 for over a year now on this router, and have never had any big issues. Now, it refuses to hook up. When I enter the wifi in, the attempt to obtain the IP times out. When I go in and do it all manually, I get the DNS Error 80710102. I've tried restarting the router, I've tried restarting the PS3, I've tried going in manually and doing it, I've tried switching the Primary and Secondary DNS, I've tried switching the channels of the router (was on 10, now its on 1). I know of nothing that would bring about this change in how the router (or PS3) have been functioning, now I've hit a brick wall. (I should also note that the PS3 works on the wifi at other places)
Where and how to setup my MP so it doesn't wake up when I unplug things like iPhone etc from the usb? Is there such an option?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis may seem like a really simple question to someone who is familiar with Macs, but I am brand new. When I hibernated my old Vista laptop, I always unplugged the power adapter (it go too hot if I left it plugged in overnight). With the Macbook (Macbook Pro 13, mid-2009), should you leave the Magsafe Adapter plugged in, or is it OK to put the Macbook into sleep mode overnight, and leave the charger plugged in? I don't want to deplete the battery (that flashing LED makes me wonder what kind of battery draw there is in sleep) by putting my laptop into sleep mode for eight or so hours, and not have the charger plugged in.

I have tried SMC and PRAM resets, and the issue has not been resolved. My magsafe is lit up with a bright green led. Battery status is "Not Charging." When I unplug the magsafe, the system immediately shuts down. Battery is brand new with only 2 cycles. While I can use the laptop with power connected, this is an issue that needs to be corrected asap, as I use this computer for performances consistently and if the power cord gets removed, I'm not in a good place.

I was trying to download the free version of a game, and immediately after i clicked download, i started to see the computer slow down a bit. However, I just thought that it was a lag and it would fix itself when the game completely dowloaded. Afterwards, it said that there were a few errors that occured during the download, and asked me if I wanted to continue to play. I clicked yes, because I didn't think it would be much of a problem. Afterwards, the mouse was stuck on the middle of the screen, and no matter how much I wanted to click out of the window, quit Safari, or even restart my computer, the mouse would continue to go back to the one spot. I have absolutely no idea what to do to restart the computer, or quit Safari. All I have done is just sleep the computer, but that hasn't helped it at all.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI always put my 24" iMac to sleep each night when I go to bed by clicking on Finder/sleep. Twice in four days, I've tried to wake it up the next morning by touching the shift key and discovered that it had somehow turned off overnight. I had to turn it on manually with the button in the back. It may be no big deal, but it has me puzzled and a bit frustrated.
