Audiobook on Ipos shuffle won't bookmark when turning off
Can someone tell me how to make sure that when i turn off my shuffle while listening to audio book , it will restart wher i left it when i turn it back on ? It does not always restart where i stopped...mostly overnight situation...
Dan,
Are you getting your books from Audible.com? If so,
be sure to download in format 3 not 4. Also, try
turning OFF your Shuffle while it is still blinking
in PAUSE.

Roger, spoke with Audible tech support and they confirm what you say. However, they are not certain what the issue is except to say that it is Apple's problem (for now.) I have over 100 audiobooks and have been using the Shuffle successfully all during 2005 using format 4. The format issue has only recently developed and I suspect that Audible has some part of the problem. The reason is that I have no problem with older format 4 audiobooks; only recent downloads. Then again only recently has the Shuffle been updated to OS version 1.3.
To tell the truth I don't notice any difference between format 3 and 4, except that format 3 is half the file size of format 4. So, from now on I'm just going to download format 3 and save the hard drive space.
As for book marks. I've found that if you hit pause once and wait for the flashing green light to stop, then hold down the pause button until the amber light goes out that the book will resume where left off. Also, power off the unit because the standby mode (according to what I've read from Apple) will diminish the power suppley in about 32 hours. (Could this be the reason some Shuffle user report that their Shuffle stops half-way through an audiobook?) This book marking technique works for format 3 & 4 audiobooks.
This is somewhat OT, but useful info for those who use the shuffle primarily for audiobooks. It's a pain that the slider switch to turn on the Shuffle needs to be in the mid position to play the audio books in a linear fashion. What I've done is trim a sliver off the edge of a credit card and position it so the slider is prevented from sliding all the way down into the random play position. A small strip of scotch tape holds it into position.

IPhone4 iOS 4.0.1 won't charge when turned off
I had a 3GS that when placed in the dock (connected to my iMac which is always on) and was turned off (the iPhone that is) would charge normally and was completed in the normal amount of time (a few hours for a complete charge). When I upgraded to iOS 4.0.1, the iPhone would only charge in the dock if it was left on.
I upgraded to the iPhone4 (4.0.1) and the same thing is occurring: the iPhone won't charge when it is turned off; only when it is left on will it completely charge.
Because it happened with my 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.0.1, I am assuming that it is a software issue with the new operating system.
I have tried a restore as recommended by tech support, but that did not resolve the issue. Has anyone else had the same problem? Any idea how to fix it so that the iPhone4 can charge when placed in the dock and is turned off? Thanks.

We are all users like yourself... reposting one minute later is not going to get a lot of sympathy from us.
2) Clean the dock connector with a soft, dry brush
3) Try a different sync cable or charging device. -
my iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?
maybe but
most likely no
if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that -
Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge
Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
But do this first:
hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port. -
how do you make it not so sensitivity. when turned off set down it comes back on or when working out shirt brushes ipod and it changes music
You didn't say which model of iPod Nano that you have, but generally there should be a lock setting, that can be turned on or off, to prevent accidental changes in settings. And, there is also a setting to turn on or off a feature called, "Shake to Shuffle." It allows you to change songs by just shaking the iPod.

I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be?
I have an iPhone 5 and lately the battery won't last, it turns off at 20%, what could it be? I have to recharge 3 times per day
I heard from an apple specilist once that it is good to let your iPhone die atleast once a month. My iPhone 5 battery lasts all day if I charge it before I go to bed. Try not using your iPhone when it is charging. If you don't notice a difference soon, consult with the apple store

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.
The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

Ipad won't charge unless turned off
My iPad 2 won't charge unless turned off and in some cases not at all. It does this off and on. Typically, it'll stop charging when turned on and I can turn it off and charge it to over 40% (or so. . . .it varies) and then it will charge the rest of the way while turned on. And then, I can go through long periods --maybe a month-- where it will charge as usual (while on) but then suddenly it will stop charging while on and will only do so when off. This back and forth has gone on for several months. Today it stopped charging even when off. Given history, it might kick in and start charging suddenly but I fear that the battery could run out this time and I'll not be able to charge and restart it. I'm at 20%. I am using the iPad 10W charger and I have a new one so the cord is good and it works to charge my iPhone as well. I have also tried rebooting the system, holding down the home and start button. Anyone have experience with this and a solution?
you can also try the universal troubleshooting step of resetting your iPad. No data is lost so don't worry.
You can reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -
Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on
should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on
It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display. Similarly, your voicemails would arrive. -
When turn off wi-fi, macbook pro stop responding
installed maverics on my macbook pro 3,1. every time when turn off wi-fi manually, computer stop responding, it then has to be restarted by long press on the power botton.
Wanted the solution to work, but there's no option to Sync this iPod over Wi-Fi option on my Touch.
Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync > Sync Now
No option to uncheck to opt out of automatic syncing. The auto syncing can only be stopped after it's started.
Solution found by searching the web:
iTunes menu > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. -
Charging iPhone 3Gs when turned off.
I have had my iPhone 2 days and I have realised that it does not charge when turned off. If I turn the phone off and insert the wire (wall plug or USB on computer) the phone automatically turns on and when I turn it off it doesn't charge. Has anyone got any suggestions as to why this happens or any ways to fix it. I'm new to Apple products so I would much appreciate anyones help!
Thank you!If you plug it in while on, then turn it off, it should charge just fine (although you will have no indication it is charging, since it is off).
If you turn it off and THEN plug it in, it will start up. That's just the way it is. -
Captions are not respected when turned off under Accessibility and still appear in the native player, how do I turn of captions for the native player?
Restart your computer while holding down left mouse key. That will eject the CD and your Mac will start as normal.

After the new update my ipad4 will not do a full recharge even when turned off overnight and the battery goes flat it 2 hours it is driving me crazy as I had to stop all apps but still not helping but my iPhone 5 is great no troubles at all HELP
Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

hello everyone...I got my very first macbook pro just today and i have a problem deleting the "test" user account. if i can't delete it, the system won't let me turn off the system. I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!
Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps. -
HT1688 Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off?
Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off and not in use after a period of time? Is so, what did you do to get it replaced?
I haven't, but thanks for asking.
Bring your phone to Apple for replacement. If you're in the warranty period, the replacement will be free; if not you will pay $149.
