Will no longer hold charge. Keyboard will not print in text window. Will not place a phone call.

I received my DX2 in November of 2011, It worked fine until January of 2013. With the occasional lock up texting. However since January it will not place a call regularly. It gets as far as the green phone to complete call and will not go further. Try a reboot and still won't.Have taken most of the added apps out. I have to shut off facebook when through or it now runs my battery out in two hours of non use. The battery will not stay charged more than four hours of standby time. I have kept the weather on all the time past and present. The battery used to last eight to ten hours of regular use, not even close to that now. Is there any thing I can do to it or must I travel to the Verizon Wireless Center a touch over an hour away to get it looked at? Any suggestions?

Hi there Jer679E!
Feel free to pull a u-turn because there's no need to travel anywhere for the support we can dish right here. Of course, I'm terribly sorry to learn of the device issues you've been experiencing, but I appreciate you getting in touch to let us know about what's been going on. So, let's fix it!
Now, I appreciate everything you've done troubleshooting wise since the problems began but let's try a different route. First, you cited this being a bit of a keyboard issue with locking up while text. To fix that, go to settings > applications > manage applications > all > multi-touch keyboard > clear data and force close. Go ahead and test things out. Next, let's talk about not being able to complete a call as well as your battery issues (because we want you staying in touch and not having to worry your phone is about to die). This could very well be in relation to an app you have installed. Try launching your device in safe mode http://vz.to/nXvveN . That will disable third party apps so we can better isolate the issue pending how you phone reacts when in safe mode. Please keep me updated on progress made. Thanks!

Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When connected to my PC to charge it, the light blinks yellow. I took it in to a local Apple repair shop- the gentleman charged it for me

Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When I put in on my PC the yellow light flashes. I took it to an Apple repair store on Monday and the gentleman there charged it for me...and it fully charged. On wednesday I turned it on- no green light...
He said the yellow light should not be blinking when charging...what am I doing wrong???

Crashed 160GB Classic Will No Longer Hold More than 32GB of Data

So, a few months ago, my 160GB iPod Classic (which is 3 years old last Christmas), crashed on me. I was in the process of uploading some songs to it when it froze; I attempted to eject it, got no response and simply unplugged it. Upon plugging the iPod back in, I was informed that it was corrupted and had to be restored, which I did. Now I find that the iPod simply won't hold hold more than approximately 30-32GB of media before a similar process occurs: the iPod freezes during syncing and then becomes corrupted upon ejection, wherein I restore the iPod and repeat. My initial thought is that a significant portion of the hard drive has crashed and will no longer hold data, but I figured it's probably worth asking whether there's anything I can do to fix this. My AppleCare has expired, and I'm wondering if there's any way around buying an entirely new iPod to remedy the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi d.a,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company.
It sounds like your hard drive is dying. This is common for an iPod of this age. First of all, I'd try restoring and see if this makes any changes. You can do this by plugging the iPod into iTunes and then clicking 'Restore'.
If this does not work, then it sounds like your iPod has a hardware fault. As your iPod is 3 years old, it is out of warranty, and Apple would charge you for any repairs. A new hard drive for this iPod usually costs around £100.
If you feel that this price is too high, then you could look to buy a new iPod from Apple. They will take your old iPod and give you a 10% discount of the cost of your iPod.
I hope that I have helped. Please get back to me if you need any more assistance,

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

My hard drive desktop suddenly will no longer hold or maintain the icons in place when I shut down and restart. The icons all change positions, alphabetically. Just started happening. Any thoughts?

It's normal for the icons at the top level of the startup disk to revert to the same arrangement every time the Finder is relaunched. If it's important to you to arrange those icons in a persistent way, proceed as follows.
Back up all data.
Open the Info window on the startup disk (labeled "Macintosh HD" unless you gave it another name.) Click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, click the plus-sign button to add an entry to the access list. Give yourself "Read and Write" access. This will be a temporary change. Leave the dialog open.
Open the Finder window and arrange the icons as you wish, then close the window.
In the Info dialog, use the minus-sign button to delete the entry you just added to the access list. Don't change anything else. When you're done, it should be the same as when you started. Close the Info dialog.

I just downloaded PSE 13 and it won't let me open stating, "OS requirement not met...windows vista not supported"...what do I do?

PSE 13 is supposed to support OS Windows Vista. Now, after purchasing and downloading, states "OS requirement not met...Windows Vista not supported." Can anyone help? Will need simple steps explaining what to do! Thanks!

No, Vista is not supported:

I can not print from my windows xp pc to my 5520 printer

i can not print from my windows xp pc to my 5520 printer. im on the network and pass all online tests but my computer wont recognize the printer. i can do the eprint or print from a phone or even send an email to the printer. all that is fine its just my computer wont seem to pick up the printer.
ive tried everything, cd, usb,online help, uninstall/reinstall. nothing seems to work...
only issue it might be is that my pc is also on a wifi network.

Hi Bigchief247,
I understand that you're having issues with printer printing from your computer. I would try the Hp Print and Scan Doctor it fixes many common printer problems.

Let me know how it goes.

Error message: "USB device drawing too much power"; Battery will no longer hold a charge. Help?

A few months back a jump drive broke while inserted in my Macbook (the computer fell sideways and cracked the jump drive). That particular USB port no longer works and I keep receiving an error message that tells me a USB device is drawing too much power, even though nothing is plugged into either port.
It wasn't a huge issue until my battery stopped holding a charge. The computer is usable while plugged in, but as soon as the cord is disconnected it will immediately shut down. I assume this has something to do with the faulty USB port.
In addition, my CD drive will no longer burn CDs. It will read CDs and allow me to open content from them, but it will no longer burn content to a new disc.
As soon as I am able I am taking the computer to the store to get checked out, but in the meantime I wanted to see if someone has experienced a similar problem and knows what needs to be replaced or repaired, and how much that might be.

I guess I should say, abnormally warm. Does it feel like there's a small heater going in there?
I don't think this is the kind of thing you want to undertake, not if you're asking about how to do it. I don't know much about the insides of Macbooks other than the parts needing replacing are probably soldered to the rest of the computer. It's really something you need an expert to investigate.

FF will no longer ask me before trying to open Acrobat files, and will not ask me to save them either. How can I restore the ability to see pdf's with FF?

I have Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed on my PC (Vista-64) and after the last FF update, it will no longer open or allow me to view pdfs. "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
Under "Options" I set my preference with pdfs to "Always Ask" but the documentation on FF states that it will attempt to open the file first, before asking me to save it, which basically means that it will never ask me to save it - just ask me to exit the browser and Acrobat. I have not been able to access PDF content on FF since, and will have to change to Chrome this evening, since I utilize pdf content often.

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC. I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7). I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034. Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest". I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted. The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

I tunes will no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music in the library

Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?

Hello,
All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Notes:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
Hope that helps,
Griff W.

My iPhone 4 will no longer back up in iTunes after my upgrade to Windows 7 64bit.

I used to have Windows XP 32bit and everything worked fine.
I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and installed iTunes 64bit (I've also tried running the installer as administrator [in the compatibility properties]).
iTunes will recognise it with no problems and I can drag and drop anything I want to the iPhone, but I can't back up.
Software versions: iTunes v10.4.0.80, iPhone 4.3.5.
When I try to back up, the loading bar with either:
Have a loading bar with diagonal lines forever or,
it will start moving and freeze.
I've tried leaving the process for hours, but to no avail.
While the back up is being attempted, iTunes still retains full functionality.
I would exit by sliding the bar on my iPhone (iTunes will retain the loading bars as if frozen) and then unplug it. At this point iTunes takes a few seconds to drop the loading bar altogether, and the little screen will reset to normal functionality.
I believe this may be a iTunes-Windows thing as I did the following with my old laptop (Windows XP 32bit):
Installed iTunes for the first time.
Went into preferences and disabled the automatic backup option.
Plugged in the iPhone, right-click "back up".
The back up took less than 5 minutes.
I don't understand why my main PC can't back up my iPhone.
Can anyone help please?
I've tried researching the same problems and I've ended up doing the following:
Reinstalling iTunes,
Tried changing the iTunes installation folder to "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)",
Deleting all contents from: "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup",
Deleting the apps from my phone in case there are corrupt apps (doesn't make sense though as it backed up fine on my old laptop).
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Kind regards,
Will

Hi there,
I have the same issue. Usually hangs after 10K od sometimes after 18MB of backup file.
Config: iTunes 10.4., Win 7 64bit, iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3
I tried all of these without success:
- deleted backups via iTunes / Preferences
- deleted backups from sync folder
- created a new admin user and tried to sync
- reinstalled iTunes
- ran all Windows updates, restarted, reinstalled iTunes
- ran iTunes / Diagnostics (says everything okay, only info which is strange: diag says I am not a admin user, which is not correct)
Nothing helped. Who can help. I hope someone from Apple can take care, as I seem not to be the only one. Actually iTunes is the worst part about iPhone. Hope with iOS 5 and Cloud sync to get rid of iTunes.
Any hints welcome,
Cheers,
Miguel-KA

Will no longer hold charge. Keyboard will not print in text window. Will not place a phone call.
