Battery in MacBook Pro problems
Old 15.4 inch MacBook Pro works for a long time with the AC adapter. I recently bought a new battery. First of all, it was green and orange flashing and sometimes say "battery not charging" but finally 100%.
MacBook, firm but both down with battery drive. It works as usual when it is connected to the power adapter. I have reset the Pram and SMC without effect. Any advice?
Try to run the Apple Hardware Test (use the #2 installation disk that has the AHT instructions written on this subject). It may provide a clue.
Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.
Have you tried another charger or tried your charger on another Mac?
Ciao.

Buy a new battery for MacBook Pro
How to buy a new battery for MacBook Pro from apple store? I would buy a new battery and replace it with myself, is possible?
Thanks1
Apple batteries will be sold if Apple installs, NOT the user. If you have a MBP, this is probably the best option because the batteries are pasted into the retina. If you have a retina no MBP, look at the OWC site for NuPower batteries or search the Internet for brand batteries Anker. Anything else can be 'high risk' in terms of quality.

Trackpad and keyboard Macbook Pro problem
Hello
It's been a few months that I have a problem with my Macbook Pro, indeed the trackpad doesn't work at all and the well-tempered clavier from time to time (duty to restart).
MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)
OS X El Captain version 10.11.5
I saw that Apple had released a patch pour these problems: this update is recommended pour MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) models. It solves a problem of non-response of the keyboard and the trackpad multi-touch integrated.
But I can't install the update because it is no longer supported...
Do you have a solution?
Many thanks,
Kind regards

New battery of MacBook Pro A1286
Good afternoon
I have a Macbook Pro A1286 Late 2008, which has an access door that allows me to remove the battery in case of damage or long time storage and this same battery that better days seen, which means I need to replace it and I would do it with a new and original.
Apple stopped producing parts for the models considered 'vintage' or obsolete, which means that I will not be able to find an original battery on Apple officials/dealers sellers, unless on official and even Apple support here, it should be very difficult...
After all these years, I saw the opportunity to purchase an original "new and sealed" battery, announced by a seller on olx, where can I check and check the veracity of his claims about the originality of the battery with a serial number of pieces Apple search engine or on some website, as Apple has done once with the eligibility of battery replacement and others , by the Apple warranty... ?? !!
I have an emergency to solve this issue...
Greetings from Portugal
Only your MBP battery I want to buy are third NuPower or Anker. Anyone who claims to have original OEM Apple batteries may be the truth, but understand that batteries also age even when it is not installed and do not use it. I urge caution in these circumstances.

2 MagSafe charger or Macbook Pro problem
Hello! I recently bought a Macbook Pro of the retina (at the beginning of 2015) here in Singapore, with the prepackaged MagSafe 2 charger with it. I always charge my computer while using it, and usually, my uses are extremely lightweight.
Well, here's the problem... Yesterday, when I was about to plug my charger to my Macbook, I realized that there are very obvious stains in the Macbook port itself. Look at the head of the charger, it is not even and seems to have slightly burnt and melted.
I am still able to load and use my computer very well, but I fear that if this continues, this degrades quickly in the fire. My sister advised me to swap the Macbook Pro itself for a new one, which I suppose is possible through discoloration, but despite everything, is the Macbook Pro the problem? Reading the various forums online suggests that this is the problem with the MagSafe 2 magazine.
Please share some thoughts, thank you!
"Recently" may be in a period of Exchange or not. Whatever it is, you have at least a 1 year warranty (AppleCare that extends to 3) and you must use to find the answer before it becomes more than a gene and damage the MBP.

Fuzzy screen of retina MacBook Pro problem
Hello
My MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) recently had this issue on the screen:
Searched the Internet for similar cases, I think that this problem with the anti glare coating will get compensation as stated on https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
But when I bring my Macbook to the Apple authorized service provider in my area, they said I have to wait this blurred more and more problem to be replaced. Can I help for this to feel really annoying because they appear to the center of the screen?
There is a test VST of pass/fail for the problem that is described in the link you posted. This test has been run? If so, what were the results? If the test was not performed, it should be.

Hi all
I've updated to El Capitan, one a few months ago and since then whenever I have "long press" a character on my KB for more options of different languages, KB freezes.
I can not type anything more until a few minutes.
But if I ' press and hold ' even once, it freezes again.
Someone had the same problem?
Any fix for it?
Thank you
This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Should what procedure I follow?
My Macbook Pro is the beginning of the model 2011 13'
Thank you.
I don't know what you were doing or how you did it in your question. I suggest you check if you can perform a recovery network: computers, which can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. Then proceed as follows:
Clean Install of El Capitan on a new disc
- Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
- The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
- Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
- When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
- Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
- Set the GUID partition scheme.
- Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
- Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
- Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
- Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.
[Permission to use any part of the foregoing has been granted by khati, exclusively, to theratter.]
This should install it El Capitan for you on the SSD. You can transfer your files from your backup.

I ran the full scan of the disc of Avast. Since then, I have been unable to access any site using Firefox without getting the message, "this connection is not approved." Many are the sites I have been too many times before, and they are trusted sites. I don't know if there is a problem with Firefox or Firefox could recover place a sort of new "infestation". The Avast scan resulted in 5 put files in a quarantine area. Eleven years could not be scanned. Thanks for any help you can provide!
I guess Safari normally works on these sites?
The latest version of avast! Web Shield includes a function to filter your Internet connections for potential threats. In order to filter secure sites, it must present a certificate of 'false' for the site in Firefox, so it can be 'in the middle' and read your secure communications. If Firefox is not set false certificates of trust, then you will get warnings for all secure sites.
You can disable this feature as a test to see if the problem goes away.
If this works, but you want to use the feature, you must import the certificate of Avast in the tab "References" of Firefox so Firefox accepts its false certificates (there might be an automated way AVAST to do this for you, or you might need export from IE and then import them into Firefox).
Here is an exchange of views on avast! "forum of s on the way in which this is supposed to work: problems and questions about HTTPS scanning - Avast Internet 2015

13 "Macbook Pro retina heats up on the bridge and google maps satellite
Hello!
I have a 13 "Macbook Pro retina
I noticed that when using google satellite view maps (no matter if in Safari or another browser) my Mac begins to quickly heat up to 102 degrees Celsius (I use https://www.seense.com/menubarstats/ to measure the speed of the CPU temp and fan, but even without any application, you can easily feel the high temp and hear the blowing fan) the fan also starts to blow at maximum speed. When I left the site everything returns to normal.
Same thing happens when I discover the overpass in Maps.app. When I left the temperature goes down to normal.
I can compare the situation with my MacBook Air a years more and I have none of these problems in this regard. Strange that both Mac have only the Integrated GPU. No idea what may cause heat upward? Dealing with the satellite or view 3d demanding for rMBP but not for the older MBA buildings? Both on the latest version of the model
Thank you!
