Charging with iPod cord.  Seems to be charging even when it says not charging in the upper right corner.  Is this what happens when I don't use it's charger?  And is that ok?

Charging iPad 2 with IPod cord.  Seems to be charging even when it say not charging in the upper right corner.  Is it because I'm not using the cord it came with, and is it ok to use an iPod cord.

The dock connector to USB cables are interchangeable on the iPod and iPad. That's not a problem. You must be trying to charge using a USB port on your Computer. If the port supplies enough power, the iPd will charge albeit very very slowly  - as long as the Computer is turned on and it is awake.
You should really use the power adapter that comes with the iPad and it will charge much faster. Using the iPod cord is fine - switch to the supplied power adapter for the best results.

    Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
    I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.
    Help!?

  • How do I download tv shows on iPod? Ios7. They are there. A little cloud icon in the bottom right corner. But unlike an iPad, there is no option (cloud with a downward facing arrow) to download.

    If they have 'open' next to them then that implies that they are already on your iPad - if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ? If it does then they are on your iPad. You've checked all your homescreens and tried a soft-reset to see if they show after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • What is that mysterious "X" in the upper right corner of the Viewer?

    I am new to Final Cut Express, and have a couple of questions that I have not yet seen addressed anywhere.
    First, I am encountering an "X" within a white circle (more or less) in the upper right corner of the Viewer at various points during playback. It does not seem to correspond to anything in particular, as far as I can tell. I have checked the documentation, but there is no mention of it (that I can find); similarly, it does not seem to have come up in any of the discussions, or in anything else I've found online.
    My second question requires a preface: The particular file I am working with is one that I have had to extract from a DVD in Toast and export as a QuickTime file in order to work with in Final Cut Express. Initially, I exported the file with uncompressed video; I got really smooth playback in FCE's viewer, but discovered (insert sound of slapping forhead here) that the QuickTime file I had created was about 125 GB (the video is just under an hour long). Since that clearly was not going to be a viable proposition for long, I went back and tried exported from Toast using H.264 and then MPEG-4. Both resulted in much more reasonably sized files, but playback in FCE is not terribly smooth.
    So, the second question is: What are good settings to use when exporting as a QuickTime file? I'm basically looking for minimal to no loss in video quality, reasonable file size, and smoother playback in the FCE viewer. I realize that this is partly going to be a matter of opinion; I would just like to know what folks with more experience in this area think.
    Thank you very much!

    That does explain the X. Thanks!
    The reason I'm exporting in the first place is that a friend of mine wants me to fiddle with the rough cut of his video project a bit, and burn the results back onto DVD. (I think he thinks I can do more than I actually know how to at this point, but I figure that playing around with it is a good way to familiarize myself with the application.)

  • What does the lock icon on the iPod Touch in the upper right corner mean?

    Wbat does the lock icon in the upper right corner of the iPod Touch mean?
    How is it used?

    That means your iPod is locked, or will not rotate the screen when you rotate your iDevice. To turn it off, you double-tap the home button, swipe to the right and you'll see the same icon, but bigger. Tap that.
    That's all! Simple as 123!

  • ICal icon on my Mac Book Air displays a circled number at the upper right corner as does Mail for new emails - how do I find out what item(s) that number is referring to? And why does it show up on the Mac Book Air and not my 4S iPhone?

    A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?

    Glenn,
    That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro.

    I need to delete a calendar event that transfered to my 4S from my Droid phone. This event occurs yearly.  When I open this event, the edit button that normally appears in the upper right corner does not exist so I can't delete it.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

  • Lightning calendar and task tabs interfering with Ultramon icons in the upper right corner of the window.

    As I today reinstalled Thunderbird and Lightning, I discovered, that the 2 small tabs (Calendar and tasks) in the upper right corner of the window is interfering with the icons at the same place from the program Ultramon, that i use because I now are working with 2 displays.
    Are there any way to move those 2 tabs a little further to the right?
    It is not a very big problem, but a bit annoying to click at the tasks tab, and the window jumps to the next screen.
    Any easy solution?
