Aight hold up, ain't no one going to talk about how you just pulled a second macbook out of a drawer in your kitchen? Am I the only one that was surprised? Like this man has his cutlery next to his macbook? Like let me grab a spatula and this computer for lunch, both equally important for a well balanced meal.
he really did that didn't he
It's pretty obvious that it's a software bug. The fact that they have their reps walk you through ridiculous troubleshooting steps is a bit insulting.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they issued a hot fix or a software update within the next week.
@@DayoAworunse more than likely will. I think this happened with the least macbook 16 as well.
Yes it is a software update on Monterey 12.1.
12.2 and magsafe doesn't work for me, all I get is the flashing amber light. usbc charging works. Annoying having this happen on a brand new machine...
Are there any good chargers for the M1 MacBook Pro 16 that are smaller than the one provided?
Hello, Now available to update the macOS Monterey 12.1 test if the battery charge works well.
Greetings
Hey man! This is from the future, one year after you posted this video. You just saved my life!!! Huge show tomorrow, nothing solved, except playing with the opening/closing lid thing. All the best!
This happens on my M1 MacBook Air when plugged into a USB-C cable that's going to a display. It only goes on and off when it's off, when it's on, it charges (albeit slowly) via passthrough and displays on an external monitor. If it's just cable to wall, it doesn't happen. Not sure if that helps any, but I noticed similar behavior so figured I'd say something.
Hello, I'm from Brazil, and I'm having this problem with my 14-inch MacBook PRO M1, is your problem only with the magsafe 3 cable? Using USB-C also has this problem or not? I'm very worried because I bought this used MacBook, I didn't know about this defect and here everything is very expensive due to taxes.. can you ask me this question?
Interesting, I hope it can be fixed with a software update. Monterey seems to have plenty of issues from what I have been seeing online. I will try this out when I get to open a 16 inch M1 Pro unit we got.
Appreciate the video. I just had the exact same issue with a brand new 16 inch M1 Max MacBook. Followed your steps and it's now charging again.
Did you updated to macOS to Monterey 12.1 and tested again?
It is mentioned in release notes for the next update 15.1. It’s a bug, but it will be fixed soon.
Just wondering roughly how long does it take to charge with USB-C? Ive ordered a 16 inch m1 max model but im not sure if its going to be a dealbreaker as Ive never had a macbook and dont know what the charging speeds are via USB-C
You'll be able to fast charge with the adapter and get 50% in 30 minutes. It'll be full by the next 30-45 minutes.
@@DayoAworunse oh so does fast Charing work with USB-C too? I thought it was just MagSafe. The issue probably won’t affect me much then I’ll just carry a usbC cable with me
@@PTR2K it does work with USB-C and thats how I mainly charge that way too even though they brought it back
@@DayoAworunse that’s great! Makes it easier for me too on to go because I can bring one usbC cable to charge my iPad and macbook
@@DayoAworunse I’m pretty sure USB c is limited to about 100 watts whereas MagSafe is 140w.
From what I've read, under Monterey 12.0.0 fast charging wasn't an issue for owners, it seems to be for those who updated to 12.0.1 D: Some users have said as a temporary work around until a new firmware update is released that after turning off the battery optimization / battery health management feature the issue goes away. Let me know if this helps anyone that has this problem.. funly enough I have an old 2012 macbook pro that is in desperate need of an upgrade with the original magsafe that has no charging issues lol I have my eye on these new ones but don't want these sort of buggy issues considering the premium you pay for them :S Am eager to see if this fix works for people..
You can charge with usb c still ..
Same thing happened on my 16 inch M1 pro, what did you end up doing?
My 16 Max was delivered on 12/1 and I have not had this problem. I’m wondering if his was delivered close to launch and if it was a known issue and fixed shortly after.
I recived mine the 12/03 and it had the issue... Sent it back for a replacement. Hope the next one does not have this issue.
okay, so for those who are on the OCD side, are there any homemade or commercial solutions that allow you to avoid scratching around the magsafe port of the new MB Pro/Max laptops? It doesn't exactly get pulled in perfectly centered right away.
it dosent get scratched around the port, trust me, I was afraid, buy they have great cotings that are meant to under stuff like this
glad im not the only one who feels this way
I also have the MBP 16, I noticed that charging via TB port is cooler than charging with magsafe.
Much love my brother! I enjoyed your video bro! Blessings Man!
I noticed the same thing on your 14 inch with my own, it's weird. Hopefully a software update can fix it
I have the 14” and just experienced this problem for the first time today…. Did the extension charge - it worked. I’m looking for the permanent solve.
Thanks for the video. This is really upsetting after having spent almost 3k on the 16 inch and it won’t even charge properly. It has to be on for it to charge when closed.
Great video, thanks
@DayoAworunse Which one will you be keeping, 16” or 14”?
Tough one, probably will go with the Air
Any news on fixing that?
Yeah my one does that... bit annoying, I just use a long USB - C cable to charge it when it isn't in use/off..
This just started happening on my 14" and is barely 3months old bought brand new. I've done all those suggestions to no avail. I'm able to use a different USB-C cable on the mb power adapter and it charges so it seems it is the actual cable having the issue or perhaps maybe the actual magsafe port (I hope not) this is my 1st entry into the Apple ecosystem and I don't like that I have "any" issues already.
Cool video but was thinking the blowing on ports wasn't a very good idea, either...
Hi, should I worry about discoloration on Space Gray?
Nope!
When I plug in the Mag safe connector to the other side, it starts working fine. It seems like it bends after a long time of use
Good job 👍
You shouldn't blow onto any metal connectors, it introduces moisture onto the oxidizable components!
Whoops
I search the youtube and found your channel and this video just because I have the same problem. The only option is to keep your computer at sleep mode while attached to the magsafe so that it would continue charging. But this should not be the only way of charging it. Usual computer can be recharged while in sleep mode or off mode. Hope they may fix it.
Noticed this since launch, not stressing as I presume it is firmware related. May point to charger as well. I saw many reporting to apple with them suggesting replacement’s still had issues with new machines. I just use a 85 watt brick to usbc. What bugs me is that no way they didn’t know about it. And worst of all, they leave there support team in the dark. I replicated this on all display models in store
Did any Apple Employee give any mention when you showed them at the store or you just tried it there?
Now that you have both space grey and silver. Which colour is ur favourite?
Silver any day of the week. Glistens in the light better
Nice wallpaper. May I have the link please?
Bruh this is a thing. 24 core 16 inch for mine. Not fixed as of dec23 2021
guys what about m2 macbook 16 inch same problem but the thing is that i changes the cable but still same problem and the problem happened when mac is run or off same flashing red lights sooo any solution u have guy's
Did you fixed it?
Dude, awaome wallpaper!🔥🔥🔥
And great video too, KEEP IT UP!👍🏻✌🏻
And is it the case with M1 pro MacBook Pro 16 inch too?
Just started for me on my Mac.. 😢
Catching up a few months late to everyone else’s charging issue.
I’m not even finding a working solution yet.
Going to try plugging usb-c direct into a power strip-instead of using the charging brick 🤞🏽
(Will try and come back to update this week)
My mac is not charging it's shut down it's 0% and i can't charge it it's blinking green
Amazing video ✨🙏 thanks for sharing
I have a charging issue as well with my M1 pro 16 inch, it doesn’t go beyond 39% to 40% and gives me an estimated time of 20 hours charging time….?!
Yeah bro me too facing this issue
My m1 pro 16" MacBook also does this, never had this issue until I tried it now after seeing this video.
When you wanna unplug the MagSafe push the tip upwards or downwards, it will come out smoothly and effortlessly, don’t pull it out!!!!
Hey, new here: Got the new M1 Pro 16" Mac and haven't experienced this, as I'm like you, in that I don't usually completely shut down the Mac. But I do notice that while on and being used, my Mac charges up to 80% until it just stays there. I have to manually toggle the option "Charge to Full Now" to get to 100%. Probably intentional MacOS pro-battery measure, but I hope there's an option to disable.
Nice video. Will subscribe. :)
This was fix in an update a week or so after this video was posted. They addressed it in the release notes, but it's nice to know they fixed it. Charging to 80% is good for longevity because charging constantly to 100% and then draining the battery isn't the best compared to 80%. It's similar for electric vehicles and how lithium batteries cells operate.
All that being said, I disable it as well :) thanks for the sub
SAME ISSUE: I am having the same issue with Macbook Pro 13 Inch (2015). Suddenly the charger keeps on blinking. Does not matter wheather the lid is closed or open. It just deson't charge.
I don't have a USB C plug how I'll charge it
"Just like the N64 days.." haha try even before that with the NES/SNES/Genesis days too.
My only memories of Sega Genesis was the lion king game and this weird Sonic game
I have this same issue with the m1 max 14", But I just use USB-C to charge so not really an issue anymore.
Lol that callout to the Genius Bar employee was hilarious. Also, finally watched the wind rises and cried so much 😭 damn that was a good one. Check out Violet Evergarden or Your Lie in April if you wanna cry some more.
I’ve heard your lie in April is tragic so here we go…
@@DayoAworunse zomg you're an anime fan? =-o And Your Lie in April is hella sad, but super good. Kevin, Kaze Tachinu aka The Wind Rises is awesome. Good choice.
@@DayoAworunse bruh I’ve been steering clear of those cuz I don’t wanna get in my feeling lol.
my laptop wasn0t charging, after restarting it if started charging again via the MagSafe. Is this something to be concerned about?
solved ?
The software of these macbook are too buggy. I mean the charging issue , the notch problems in some apps and the camera smoothing out faces .
I was facing same issue today, i lost the hope after seeing your issue, as my laptop is few years old and there is no longer any warranty on this. However after so many tries and blowing air through the USB-C plug many times, finally I took a small colouring brush and cleaned the internal pins, it started working again. But after 10 minutes problem recurred again. I think most likely internal pin is displaced or loose.
Sorry to hear that
I have the 14”. I charged it with the lid closed but the laptop was not off. Came back 2 hours later and the charging indicator was still orange (charging) when i opened the lid, it turned green (done). Thought that was weird but nothing major.
Seems like the kinks need to be worked out a bit more with the indicator itself
There always been a loose area around 97-100% like that. Hard to say-but that may be by design.
@@arlencarlson that works be the case. But the MacBook was charged for over 2 hrs. So it was 100% 40 mins ago.
Good thing you can charge the 14 with the usb c
Agreed
I'm running Monterey 12.4 on my M1 Max 16", and just encountered this problem this week after 6 months of usage. The Mag Safe will not work, and I have never misused it like pulling the plug using the cord. I always pull plug only. Also it will not charge with the Apple Thunderbolt 4 in any of the 3 connection points. So for the heck of it I plugged in an off brand cable, and it worked, 100% battery! My appointment is tomorrow at Apple Store.
Please what cable did you use because I have having the same issue
What was that screensaver at the start! So cool
Dynamic wallpaper engine
@@DayoAworunse but how do I find that specific wallpaper please?
I got the same problem with M1 pro, any advice to solve this?
The latest macOS update resolved this issue
I just realized very few people know how to properly unplug a charging cord.
Pulling out the maglite connector from the computer by the cord - not wise...
Iv heard some m1User say his battery life was 30 gone. Like lifetime battery life, not just charge. They know the amount of cycles it should last but his after a few months was already 30 percent dead essentially. And you can’t replace just the battery . You gotta replace the whole thing
They sure it's not because they have the default battery saving feature on, which limits how much it charges to, confusing battery monitoring software all over? Apple replaces it for free if it lost 20% or more within a few years, your buddy could check the details if it's not a misunderstanding of the battery saving feature.
I've started to have this issue as of today, after having upgraded to the 14.2
For a 3800 laptop this is 1000% unacceptable and the fact that they havent fixed this is absolutely ridiculous
Hi. I got a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro and I am facing this issue right from the first charge. Went to a service Center but they didn't acknowledge this issue. Then took a video of this problem and had a call with Apple Support. When they were unable to fix, they suggested to visit a service center again. Left it with them, now 2 days and no reply. Let's see if this issue is resolved.
Any update?
Tested, no problem with my MacBook Pro 16 inch M 1.
I have the 16" base model, the issue affects me too
Did you solve it?
The new MacBook Pro always throws me off guard. That thing is a huge chunk of laptop. Love this new design
It really isn’t that big though
I have the exact same issue!!
Weird oversight by them.
I contacted apple support with the same problem. The service told me to turn the my mac off and on and off agian to fix the problem. Awkwardlly, the problem didn't go away. And I found another new problem which is you can't use the front camera to record video using the photo booth app. Dayo if you don't mind you can make another video to re-appear this issue and bring attention to apple.
what year is your mac
In this video it’s a 2021
This is going to be a big issue for people if their laptop's battery is empty. Because of this glitch, they might have no way to charge it up again. It would be interesting to see if you can still charge it via USB-C port if the battery is empty.
The issue fixed after opening the screen
Yes charging on usb c work fine regardless of the mac being on or off.
Source: I tried it with my macbook pro 16 m1 max.
the issue is gone after the latest update
@@mostafama you mean update to macOS Monterey 12.2? I'm having this issue and looking forward to fix it. Please let me know.

Hi
Thx im boutta drop like almost 4k on this artifact, this thing better cure cancer. Now you telling me that its having charging problems????
you expect laptops to cure cancer?
@@siinxkj it's a joke bruv
It'll get fixed via a software update. The question is when...
@@bren.r yah its apple's poster child so I hope soon.
It should cure everything
They want you to buy that apple cloth.
my laptop has the same issue m1max 16 inch very strange !
does the old magnetic charger work with these new macs?
With a $10 small adapter they sell, yes.
Almost positive the issue is the 140 watt charging brick. If you have access to the 96 watt MagSafe charger, from the 14" MBP, try plugging that into the 16." I'm willing to bet that everything will work just fine which will confirm that the issue is the charger. The fact that Apple supports software workaround can provide a temporary fix also confirms that the issue is software. If it was hardware the software workaround would have no impact, not even a temporary one.
Except the charger didn't affect the 14" model. So this is weird.
My 16'' M1 Max literally arrived 15 minutes ago. I was searching if I could use my old 16'' charger and I came across this video. I wanted to know if my straight out of the box MBP has the same issue so I gave it a try... The answer is YES. So that bullshit recommendations won't fix you anything. Don't tell me there is debris on a charger that was just unpacked 15 min ago lol.
I have the same problem. I was at the apple store to show this issue. Unfortunately, it then worked normally in the store when I tried to show the problem. At the "genius bar", an employee also assured me that this is not a known problem at all and sent me back home. At home I reconnected the macbook with the same charger and the problem reappeared.
I have the same problems. In addition, I have the same problem even when the laptop is turned on, the charging repeatedly connects and disconnects.
Same here any solution?
I repeatedly serviced the laptop until the service also caught the problem. It turned out to be a faulty charging head.
try plugging it directly into the wall, no extension.
So hear what fixed for me. Get it enough charged using wall / other laptop / or your mobile charger. Then disconnect charger press power button for 15 seconds continuously. Then connect again your original charger directly from wall without shutting down lid. And it will start up. The issue I realise could be not enough power required to boot at launch, which we gave from somewhere else initially. Secondly the some unusual state persisted in cache or ram which we did reset using force shut using power button.
So I was very upset as I couldn't afford apple warranty plans and I bought my new m2pro MacBook on emi with my salary. And apart from this issue the other I faced was speaker making some popping sound sometimes. However I never faced any issue ever when working on my company MacBook but has to happen with me.
And yeah the speaker issue is the debris collected above the speaker inside the Macbook. I hope it will go away someday on its own or one day when I could afford a vacuum cleaner (I won't open the MacBook).
bro 并不是你一个人无法使用苹果售后 他太贵了 我频繁出现这个问题 只要是重启都会出现
I just got a m2 max 16 inch MBP and could turn it off no problem and after installing Sonoma public beta I just got this issue but even more bothering cos even if I ask the Mac to shutdown if MagSafe is connected it will each time restart the Mac , this doesn’t happen with usb c cable , it’s a brand new Mac m2 max and funny thing too if the lid is closed the Mac will not turn on but the MagSafe light will go orange , MacBook beeps and go green then same as on your video . I’m positive it is software cos I got it for 30 days and it happened just after installing public beta of Sonoma . If someone have the link to apple article’s about this issue please give it to me
same, i am m1 max macbook pro 16 user, after testing macos sonoma latest beta, problem happen, and i cant shutdown it always restart. if i close lid, it keeps blinking amber as like on video. strange thing is if i make clean macos ventura install, problem still exist no matter it was working before testing sonoma.
@@bilalyucel4500 really ? I thought the only one lol , I talked on reddit on a similar issue but not 100% the same, so I changed the magsafe 3 cable for a new one and nothing changed, I just brought it back to the shop saying it was defective, I decided to return mine and get refunded cos In France we have 30 days after purchase to send it back at Apple ,
but it's a bummer cos I found out this models on Apple's Refurb for around 700 euros less , and I'm still surveilling the refurb and no M2 Macs since more than & week .. UPS willl come tomorrow for the return cos I prefer to wait for a new one , but did u tried to phone Apple support and report the issue ?
I did this morning . u should and see what options they can offer you . Iknew it was because of this stupid Sonoma update ... I could have wait another month ... I'm mad at myself for that. cos it's either software, or hardware, but what I know is that your 140 watts charger and your magsafe cable have no issue, cos I've also tried other chargers.
hope you'll reply fast cos I'm sending it back tomorrow and if you can phone apple today and see what they say I would be more than interested to where you at now . thx a lot
Same - been using MBA M2 for 1 year - 0 issues at all. Installed sonoma update - can't charge with Magsafe at all and I don't have any USB-X to check other options. WTF
@@videos8770 does the magsafe light behave like i explained ? can u more precise ? and try with magsafe plugged in ( turn off any bluetooth keyboard or mouse or trackpad ) try to do a diagnostic on your mac, shut it off, then turnn it on with touch ID boutton but keep pressing until you see the restore menu , then press and hold command + D for diagnotic mode to launch and run it, just your macbook , nothigng plugged , expect for magsafe and turn off other accesories or i can't mess with dianostic mode.
the funny thing is.. they are saying that the new version of Monterey IS causing the issue !
Monterey has been causing serious memory issues on my 2016 MBP. In the past, I could have upwards of 40-50 tabs open no problem. The days, even 20 tabs is a problem. And i have to keep Mail off. If you can avoid Monterey, do so. It causes major memory leaks. Sometimes you can even use the machine for a 3-5 minutes. Happens several times a day.
you've made me lmao! this is actually a problem for me and you've made me smile! You're cool :)

I have the new 16 inch MacBook Pro and my issue started last week I turned it off for the very first time and I was in the kitchen cooking and all of a sudden I heard a bang the charging sound keeps going off yes this is definitely an issue with a 16 inch Apple needs to address this issue as soon as possible not for the amount of money you pay for it they need to fix this if this issue continues I will be returning it to Apple and get my money back but I love the computer so much I may just get a new one instead.:.

My 16inch MacBook Pro with the M1pro not charging now. Just happened today
Me watching this video after putting my 16’’ MacBook Pro m1 max on charger 🔌 the same manner.
my 16 inch m1pro macbook pro also has the same problem man!
It'll be fixed, don't worry
Same issue. Macbook pro 2021 has many issues! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I'm having the same issue (Macbook Pro M1 Max). It will not charge when it's off and closed. Took it to Apple and they are suggesting (actually replacing the MagSafe connector port). Going to cost me about a $100 to get it fixed (if that is the actual solution to the problem). Will let you guys know what happens over the next week.
Any update?
@Dayo Aworunse Yes. Got the computer back Sunday. They replaced the MagSafe port and that was the fix. When I met with the Genius Bar folks both said they hadn't seen this issue before. That was two people, the guy I met with when I dropped it off and showed him the problem. I then talked with another GB person when I picked it up. Told them both that the internet is littered with people talking about it. The only way Apple will instigate a "recall" or "free repair program" is if they know about it. Email/call Apple, get on their forum and try and get traction on this issue anyway and every way you can. That's the only way Apple will blink an eye at this. I'm not saying what they fixed is a fix for everybody but it did solve my problem.
Well guess what, the issue came back yesterday. Not sure what is going on. Going to try and get my money back for the "repair" work.
