Sometimes while my 15 inch macbook pro is plugged in. Up in the right hand corner it says not charging. The light also goes from red to green. What is going on?

This happens to me sometimes, and the following solutions helps:

Shutdown your system.

Pull out the battery.

Press and hold power button for 5 seconds.

Pop battery back in, connect your magsafe, and power on.

There is a similar support thread here:

You didn't say how old your MBP is. Mine is about 5 years. I had to replace my battery a year ago. Standard, batterys are consumables and need replacing once in a while.

Hope this helps
