Cable in my car doesn't charge and play the 6th gen, only plays?
So I had the 3rd gen iPod and the cable in my car played and charged it at the same time..the cable came with the vehicle.
I decided to get the 6th gen iPod nano and now the same cable only plays it. I had to buy another cable to charge (and of course can't listen to music while it charges).
The car is a 2009 Infiniti FX 35..I've called Infiniti to ask if they have a newer cable compatible with newer devices and they don't...Apple says to ask Infiniti..
I'm just trying to avoid so many cables in the car...I hate wires...the older model seemed to have worked just fine but I just had to upgrade to a nano...and now the older has been stolen... :-\
So is it Apple that needs to sell newer cables for the new devices or is it Infiniti?? Any suggestions? Thanks.
First of all to check if your battery is actually charged you can go to System Profiler (use spotlight search if you don't know how get to it) then select "Power" on the Hardware list and you should see more info on the battery. You should see this:
I highlited the info you must look for, this would be what a healthy battery on a less than 1 year old system looks like (Macbook Air 2009 model bought mid 2010)

Battery doesn't charge AND frequent shut down when only on AC power
Hello all,
I've spent some time browsing and searching this forum to avoid asking a question that has already been answered but I haven't seen a complete answer to this situation so here goes.
I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 model 0768DKU. Battery (P/N 92P1185) started not charging/not holding a change about 6-8 months ago AND the laptop now abruptly shuts down even when on AC power. From the forum I found out about the 18 month battery replacement policy but I'm just a few months past the 18 months so out of luck there. Normally I would just buy a new battery but the last few months I've been getting very frequent shut downs when the laptop is exclusively on AC power even with the battery removed! This has kept me from buying a battery because the laptop won't stay on even when it's plugged into the wall then how will a battery help?
This has really thrown me for a loop since the laptop may run 30 minutes then it's dead like you pulled the power cord. Turn it back on maybe 10 minutes then dead, or 5 minutes then dead repeat over and over.
Steps I've taken since browsing the forums:
Virus scans/spyware are clean
Used compressed air on the fan vent to remove a little dust, opened up and sprayed out dust nothing major.
Speedfan is reporting cpu temperatures of 65C to 69C at 99% idle.
Reseated memory
Questions:
Would a new battery potentially solve this problem? I'm not sure how since it shuts down even with the battery removed and only the power cord plugged in.
Bad AC adapter?
Thermal problem? It looks like the cpu is still below temperature ranges based on Intel but it sure seem like a thermal problem to me the way it shuts down. I'm trying some new thermal grease tonight but not sure if that will realy make a difference.
Any suggestions, I'd hate for it to be motherboard, etc.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere I've seen all the battery posts but not how the battery would address the fact the laptop shuts down even when on AC power with or without the battery installed.
Thanks,
ChadHard reset didn't work for me either, thanks for the tip it was worth a shot.
Thermal paste kept temps lower around 45C still suddenly shut off like usual while on AC power. 3, 5, minutes, etc. Doesn't appear to be thermal.
Could the "bad" battery somehow be messing up the power circuit and cutting off. Looks like the battery problem with these units is huge wish I'd been looking earlier since I was within the extended 18 month period at the time. Just want to hear that someone bought a battery and it fixed the problem.... -
Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.
If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty. -
My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?
Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it) -
My BB Playbook doesn't charge and turn on. Nothing can solve this problem. Please help!!!!
Hi everybody!
My BB playbook doesn't charge and turn on.
When I tried to charge it, at first ,the red color appears for 10 seconds and after the green color starts blinking several times. And that's all. Every time when I am charging it the same thing is repeating. What should I do in this case???
If someone knows how to solve this issue please HELP!Hey LM344,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you're receiving the flashing green LED light, it sounds like the BlackBerry PlayBook battery is completely drained. I suggest plugged the BlackBerry PlayBook into the wall charger for several hours to get a charge again.
Let me know if the issue still persists after charging it after several hours.
Cheers.

IPod Touch 4g won't charge and play at the same time
I used to have a 4g Nano that I would play in my car through an aux cable and charge through a cigarette lighter charger. I just got a 4th gen iPod Touch and it no longer lets me charge and play at the same time. If both wires are connected it will only charge and not play, once I pull the charger part out it will play through the speakers. Is there a fix to this? Do I need a different charger so that it won't think it's simply docked?
You would need to turn off hard drive mode via iTunes iPod settings on your home system to do this. I don't know if you have this mode on or off already. I thought I read that there is a way to enable/disable hard drive mode via the iPod buttons but I don't remember how.
Thanks,

I have a docking station to charge and play audio from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Is there an adapter available for the ipod touch 5th gen so that I can keep using the old dock?
Lightning Adopters
One of these adopters/cables should work:

I have the first ipad and it won't recognize the charger and also the computer won't recognize the ipad when I plug it in to sync. Any ideas why?
If your using the same cable for your wall charger as you are for your computer, than the problem is probably within the cable (if there isn't visible damage to the cable of coarse). The quockest solution would be to buy your self a new cable. There is probably nothing wrong with your wall adapter, so just the cable will do.

Can you charge and play shuffle (2nd gen) at the same time?!
we purchased a shuffle to run our 'on hold' music at work, and its a pain in the arse to remember to charge it every night. im so used to my iPod video that lets me charge and play at the same time...
any suggestions?!Hi Jen,
I have the USB Power Adapter plugged into a power
outlet and the shuffle plugged into the adapter. I'm
running a headphone to RCA cable to an audio
receiver's inputs. This allows me to listen to all my
songs on the Shuffle without needing to have a
computer near by. I've been using this set up since I
bought the Shuffle. I have to mention that the
Shuffle I own is 1st Gen...
Again, hope this helps.
With all due respect, Rick, Jen (the original poster) was asking about how to charge+play a SECOND GENERATION Shuffle...you might note that fact is even included in the Subject field...
But now that you've mentioned yours is a 1st Gen Shuffle... 1st Gen Shuffles ARE available from the online Apple Store as refurbished for $49. Perhaps she should think about getting one of those? -

my iPod has not been working for a month now and i was hoping that you could help me.The part where you charge and sync the iPod is not connecting.There is defiantly not the lead as we use it for the iPhone and that works please could you help!
yours sincerly
jackfromsurreyWhat I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier

This is how I am supposed to contact to have my annual creative cloud membership refunded? I cancelled immediately upon seeing the charge and followed the instructions given and wound up here. Am I supposed to share my username and password with the forum? Adobe, I am about to go social with my frustrations!
No, this is a public forum, as in user-to-user, so you should not share any private information here. You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or phone, which is apparently getting harder and harder to do. Use the link below and choose the Still Need Help? option at the bottom in the blue area - in the section that opens take your pick of chat or phone.

Try opening iTunes while holding down the option key. When you get a dialog box with "create a new library" or "choose a library", select the choose option and navigate to the library on your external HD.
BTW: If your external HD is not powered on and mounted before opening itunes, iTunes will create a new blank library.
