"Mac charger won’t charge, even with Apple suggestions.: I’ve had this problem with my Mac about three times. It just won’t charge. Today, I discovered that my iPad charger does work on my Mac (was desperate trying to charge it). I’ve changed the charger several times and plugged it in directly.[...]"

Troubleshooting Mac Charge:

Refer to the following....

A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

(Applies to Intel-Based Macs Only): Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. Updates), system configurations (i.e. for Power) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Try performing each thrice. It may take sometime, being certain you have the time to perform these resets.

B. Try a New Charger:

• Power & Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple - Select "Mac Compatibility" on the left
• Find the Right Power Adapter and Cable for your Mac Notebook - Apple Support

C. A Few Links to Refer to for Power:

• If your Mac doesn't Turn On - Apple Support
