Apple SupportĪs Reddit User _Trillionare_suggested, the 140W charger may be the issue here. Attach the MagSafe cable first, before shutting down the computer. Charge the computer while in sleep modeģ.
And based on the instruction given by Apple, please keep your macOS updated and do one of the following:ġ.
Please know that Apple is aware of the issue and investigating.
However, once the user shut down the computer again, the problem reappeared, and Apple Support then instructed her to do the following: Then when you are going on an airplane or road trip, you can bring along a booster battery and share it with all your cute, light devices with one cable.One of the first reported issues came from a Reddit user who wrote that the LED light on the MagSafe charger “repeatedly turns on and off and with each time it does you can hear the charging sound effect.” Various other users responded in a thread expressing that they have had the same issue, including one with a 16-inch M1 Pro MacBook.Īpple Support instructed the user on what steps to take to resolve the issue, and it was temporarily successful. I think the point is you carry the cute, light devices around without extraneous batteries 95% of the time. Now put this all together? Are we going to start having to lug around 8lb battery pack+USB-C hubs because our consumer electronics are trying to be cute and light, and useless for all day use. This also applies to the iPhone, but at least the iPhone has the ability to be plugged into a battery pack. The Apple Watch is a great example of a product that is half baked, because charging it doesn't give you the battery life that anyone would reasonably use it. You want the induction charging only for devices that are impractical to charge any other way. That Wireless access point that says it's AT&T, are you sure that's AT&T?, If you are listening to a phone call on your wireless headset, how do you know someone else isn't listening? Then there is wireless charging that is just a super-bad idea since it pushes the charging efficiency below 30%. Wireless networking, charging and audio is all good when you don't leave your home, but when you go outside, you are at the whim of all the other wireless junk out there. Likewise with wireless, nothing should be done "wirelessly" if you want to retain security and conserve power. I want to be able to connect my iPad and iPhone to a HDMI, Thunderbolt/DisplayPort or USB-C display without any ridiculous compression artifacts. That leaves power charging as the biggest reason for plugging a cable into an iOS device, and that issue may be solved by induction or truly wireless charging before USB-C becomes completely and universally adopted. WiFi sync, AirDrop photo and file transfers and iCloud based sharing are all more convenient than plugging in a cable. At the same time, there's a lot you can now do wirelessly rather than needing to plug in a cable. The fact that basic USB 3.0 connectivity can be supported on existing Lightning connectors and legacy USB ports suggests that iOS devices might not make the switch as quick, requiring a longer transition period of using adapters. For iOS devices, USB-C offers less of an attraction, given that they can't support Thunderbolt 3 connectivity (which requires an Intel processor) and don't need DisplayPort video output to external displays.
