Apple TV Power Cord Will Not Stay Attached

I just got my Apple TV and it works beautifully except for one problem, the power cord won't stay attached. I currently have to brace the cord against the wall with a straight line to the power port on the unit. The slightest touch disconnects. Is there a trick to this I am unaware of? Or did I get the wrong cord with the unit.

Thanks for the info. I just wasn't pushing it in hard enough. After waiting so long for this to come out I guess I was afraid of breaking it. Had to wiggle it in there but it eventually worked.
Thanks again!

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

Network drive will not stay attached

Buffalo tech 250 gig NAS share folder will not stay attached after the most recent update. Sometimes remote folder is available and drive is visible other times is not.

Hi Kevin,
" After I made the first folder available offline, the remaining folders on the network drive did not show up, only the initial folder that was made available offline."
Will the other folders appear when we uncheck "always available offline" ? Will the other folders appear when we get into the folder directly from the windows explorer without from the mapped network drive ?Have you added any specific parameters
in the mapped script?
Please uncheck this setting "work online"to have a check :

MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
-Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
-After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
- I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
- I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
- Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
- Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
- Ive reseated the RAM
- I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
- The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
- I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
I removed the Battery and noticed this:
The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
MS 1762
DC Rating 19V=9.5A
My Battery says (MSi battery)
11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
..But the power brick reads
Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
- removed D:/ drive secondary then checked for continuity; no luck
- removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
- removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
- removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
- unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
*NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
- A Logitech USB headset (wired)
- an XBOX 360 wired controller
- A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

My power cord will not charge my battery or even maintain the Macbook pro when I am in my mobile office!

Any one else having issues with the 60w MagSafe Power Cord not working when connected to an inverter or Generator? My Inverter is a 2000w modified sine wave 12vDC-110AC unit. The generator is a 6 KW diesel powered unit. Both of these units are functioning and are in use powering other devices so I am at a loss as to what the problem might be! I have been using the inverter for the last year to power a PC Laptop, and a small refrigerator, the last of which is still in use, but the PC died. The generator powers a microwave without issue, thus I feel certain there is no problem with either power source.

USE FOLDING DUAL PRONGED ADAPTER FOR BEST RESULTS!!! NOT THE GROUNDED EXTENSION...
It seems as though the solution in my case was to eliminate the 3 pronged (Grounded) Charge cord extension from the MagSafe Power Cord, use the 2 pronged folding plug instead and now I have the ability to charge the unit from either my (MSW) Inverter or my Generator without any failure! Too bad I bought 2 more inverters and wasted a trip to an Apple Store as well as an hour of Phone Tech Support before figuring it out on my own! Good Luck!

IPhone 4S trouble with Battery/Power, Phone will not stay on

I've had a refurbished iPhone 4S for just over a year now and when I upgraded to 6.0.1 it was fine. But, after I upgraded to 6.1.3 the phone began having issues, but I'm not certain iOS is the root of the problem. First, it would cut itself off without a button shutdown and would not start back up. A hard reset would fix this, and I noticed the battery was not dead, nor even low. After a while of this, the phone would not start at all and I began restoring my phone almost every day, but by the next day the phone would be unactive again. Suddenly this stopped for a month. Now its back to shutting itself down, but in addition, it will have a full battery, cut off, and half an hour later, it will be hot. The phone is hot while its off. When I manage to get it back on shortly after, the battery is dead. So its having issues coming on, staying on, and maintaining a charge. I suspect a short in the battery or power equipment. Shorts are terrible for a battery this is going to kill my phone in a few months and even though when I first called Apple about this and I had my year left on my refurb, they stated I wasnt covered. Is anyone having a problem like this?

Power cord will not go into my ipad

It seems something that I can visibly see is blocking my adapter Fromm making an entrance into the opening on the iPad
Anyone else ever have this issue
Will run over to Apple tomorrow but if it needs to be replaced do they have any to do that
What on earth could be stuck in there??

Some sort of debris, or a defect in the connector. Let them clean it out, if possible. Avoid any moisture in that area since there may be a moisture sensor which would void the warranty.
If you look into the 30 pin receptacle with a magnifier, do you see anything?

Power mac G5 will not stay asleep

Hi, My power mac G5 will not stay asleep--it goes to sleep for several seconds then wakes up again = what to do?

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?

Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:

My vintage Power Mac will not power on. The power on button lights up, but dims after releasing the button. What is the problem?

My vintage Power Mac will not power on. The power on button glows bright when pressed, but dims to off after releasing the button. What is the problem?

The battery is the PRAM battery:
Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off (unless there is a battery issue as described below). On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM. Information stored in NVRAM or PRAM may include:
Speaker volume
Screen resolution
Startup disk selection
You may need to reset the NVRAM or PRAM if you experience issues related to these functions. For example, if your Mac starts up from a startup disk other than the one you've specified in Startup Disk preferences, or if a "question mark" icon appears briefly when your Mac starts up, resetting NVRAM or PRAM may help.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro will not stay off or asleep

Hi,
I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not stay turned off when I tell it to shut down. It will shut down just fine, but a few seconds later it will boot up again. This also happens when I try to close the lid (or just put it to sleep), it will work fine, screen/Apple logo on the back will turn off and the status LED will slowly pulse. However a few seconds later, the LED stops pulsing and the Apple logo will illuminate. If I open the lid I will be greeted with the log in page with zero delay (i.e. its been displaying for a while).
This has become problematic because the computer always be running. If I put it in my laptop bag the computer will get hot as ****. The only way to get it to really turn off is to let the battery die or remove the battery. But this computer does not have the externally removable battery so that is not a trivial process.
The symptoms exist in both Mac OS (Mountain Lion and Maveriks) and Windows 8/8.1. This makes me believe its something in the hardware (or at least a setting in the hardware), not software (I know Apple doesn't care what Windows does, but it is exibiting identical behavior).
I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC with no luck. When I reset the SMC I didn't get a good indication that anything happened though, and was wondering if that is normal. Resetting the NVRAM results in another restart, while its hard to tell if you actually reset the SMC. I reset the SMC by turning the computer off, then holding the power button when it tries to restart (this usually gives me a few minutes where the computer will actually stay off), then pressing shift, control, option and power at the same time and releasing them at the same time. This is how the Apple documentation said to do it. They did not mention how long the must be held though so I presume that doesn't matter.
Anyone experience this/have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim

Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.
