Camera turning off after around 10 seconds of bein...

I started having this problem when I had my Logitech C910. I thought the camera was having issues because it was pretty old, so I had gotten a new one. When the Logitech C920 came, I had the same exact problem. I've searched for this, and all of the topics on this are from December 2014 or earlier. Almost every single topic said to download a earlier version of skype, but I cannot find an earlier version of skype anywhere. Obviously I tried reinstalling skype, and deleting skype data files. I have been trying to find a solution for a very long time, and I would love to actually show my face to people on skype calls again. Does absolutely anyone have a fix for this?

Laptop turns off after 3-4 seconds

Hi there, My Laptop turns off after 3-4 seconds of turning in on. When the battery is plugged in or mains lead, the on /off switch does absolutley nothing. When you open the lid however, it turns the laptop on for 3-4 seconds then cuts out. After taking the laptop appart, i have found that the only way to get the laptop to turn on properly is to take out the power switch chip unit strip cable, insert it so it turns on and then remove it quickly. this way the laptoip stays on. if you insert the power unit strip cable, it turns on fine, but if you leave it in, the laptop turns its self off after 3-4 seconds ( as if the power button was held down) Do you think this is a problem with the either, the power button chip unit, the main board, or maybe even the magnet switch in the lid!? i have upodated bios/cleared CMOS, ran all diagnostics, tried everyt combionation of resetting, e.g. hd/ram/cables /power button down for a minute, bat back in power lead back in...etc, everything installed fine and came back 100% ok as if there is no problem, but the power switch is doing nothing!. Please help or let me know if anyone else had this issue, i really need my laptop working. Kind Regards, James Hardy

Does it do it booting in these two modes?
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup).
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Did you see my post above?
Have you tried a different set up earbuds to see if that helps?
What about resetting the Shuffle?

Does not turn off after a few seconds

My iPhone does not automatically turn off after a few seconds. This new behavior. Is there a setting for this?

Yes, Settings>General>Auto-Lock

My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off. But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.

I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help.

VOX: Sound turn off after 60-90 seconds

After 60 - 90 seconds, sound turn off, video is ok. Pls help me. I am woking on Notebook HP ze5470us. I've tried changing many things but always is the same.

They're dated 2004-5-4, which I assume means May 4. There is no change in the sound problem. I have a Creative SoundBlaster Live Value card with line in jack. The sound is fine for the first 60-90 seconds of either live view or recording, then it snaps off and stays off. It's the same whether I'm using MSI PVS or WinDVD Creator as the capture software, so I'm pretty sure it's the driver.
However, I'm not sure how to make sure the new driver was the one which WinXP Home installed. Before running the setup.exe that came with the new driver, I ran Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel and removed the USB Audio/Video Device Driver item that represents this device driver. After rebooting, I ran the setup for the new driver I just downloaded. After rebooting again with the MSI VOX2.0 card unplugged, I plugged it in and Windows "found new hardware" and offered to search for a driver for it. I allowed that to go forward and got a warning from Windows that the driver was not signed or approved. I allowed it to install anyway, but there is still the same problem. I don't know how to verify that the new driver was the one picked and installed by Windows, or if it could be still the original one that was on the install CD supplied with the MSI VOX2.0.
I noticed that a no-audio problem was mentioned as fixed in the ReleaseNote.txt file included in the msipvs_8609.zip file, but I'm not sure they're talking about the same no sound after the first minute problem.
I can't find anything else about this anywhere.
Anybody solve this problem yet or have an idea where to find help?
Yes I think I found the problem. It seems that only laptop users have this problem. I also had this problem with the vox connected on my laptop. Sound simply switches off after about 30 seconds. Reading the forum I found out that the problem only appears with laptop users. I tried it on my desktop pc and the problem disappeared.
The problem can be solved by disconnecting all other usb devices that draw current from the usb port. I did this and since then the vox is working correctly for hours now. It is a pitty that we are not helped by MSI. I would expect that they know how much current the vox draws and that it is critical.

Korg micro37 keyboard turns off after a few seconds

Hi all,
My Korg micro37 keyboard turns itself off after about 4 seconds after I plug the keyboard in. Any idea why this happens? It doesn't happen on a Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, but does on another Arch laptop with 3.7.1 kernel. I had the same problem with 3.5.x kernels. Thanks.

So I did call Apple. That was pointless since they had no idea what was wrong. I made an appointment with a Genius at the Apple store nearest to me. The associate who checked me in said his wife had the same problem (and discovered it while on an 8 hour flight, which stinks).
The genius who helped me was great. He had no idea what the issue was and hadn't heard of the issue before, so he took my phone into the back room and ran some diagnostics.
He found that there was nothing wrong with the hardware at all, but he noticed an error with my firmware.
He restored my phone (while my phone was plugged into itunes he held down the home and wake/sleep buttons. Then when the apple logo appeared he let go of the sleep/wake button but kept the home button pressed). This erased everything. I wasn't worried about that since all my contacts, apps, and music were backed up on my computer.
I guess he reinstalled the latest firmware and os update. He put a couple of albums worth of music on there too for me to test it. Problem solved.
It took an hour or two for me to get everything back onto my phone and in its proper place.
That was a pain, but worth it since I can now listen to music freely with no interruption.
The only thing I'm really ****** about is that my game data is all erased. Apparently when you back up your apps in itunes, it doesn't back up your progress/saves/scores in your games. I have about 30 games on my phone so this really, really *****. I guess I will just have to replay all the levels in Angry Birds, Peggle, Cut the Rope, etc. Lost a lot of progress in Infinity Blade which is pretty especially awful.
I just listened to about a half hour of music with no interruptions though, so I guess its a fair trade.
Good luck.

My nano keeps turning off after about 30 seconds ?

why is my nano keep shuting off after 30 seconds?

Hello Jeremie,
It sounds like your headphones aren't fully inserted. Try giving them a little bit more of a push until you hear a clicking noise. You shouldn't see any silver part of the plug sticking out.
If you are unable to do that, make sure the headphone jack is clear of debris and if nothing else, bring it to your local Apple Store/Genius Bar or AASP and see what they can do for you.

I think it worked fine earlier but I dont know what I updated when it stopped working.

If you have reset by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears and that doesn't help, try closing the app completely, then reboot the iPad. If that doesn't work, you might want to consider deleting the app and download it again. Backup your iPad with iCloud or iTunes and sync with iTunes if you delete the app so that you can restore the PDF files and books to the device.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You might have a PDF file that is corrupt and it might be causing this and if that's the problem, you will ultimately have to track down which file it is and delete it or this may never get resolved. That is probably unlikely, but it is a possibility nonetheless.

HT203433 I have done all of the above and neither my IPod or IPad will auto down load book smaples. The Auto switches just turn off after a few seconds.

I have tried to follow the steps and everything the HELP steps say to do is completed. Yet the slide "on" switches on both the iPad and iPod will not stay in the on position. They immediately slide to off. I get the error message they must be turned on........ Is there some other setting or trick to this? I want to preview boooks from itunes store. The version of iBooks is the latest also. Even though my job involves computer programming, I find these Apple products have such limited support for such expensive objects. I have had two college students check this to avail also, one of whom just graduated with a computer science degree...... Very discouraging

I have tried all the steps in the users guide except the restore as new. The reason I have not taken the time to do this two new devices do not work. When I got the iPod back in December, it did not work. I was taking an international trip and wanted to see some book samples and could not. I have been busy since the trip and haven't taken time to try to trouble shoot. Now my company gave me a iPad for being a very long term employee and it does the same thing. That is why I spent hours reading the FAQs, etc, trying to make the switches stay on. That is why I do not think it worth the time to reset as new.. Being a computer tech, It appears to me that the problem lies in the iTunes program on my desktop, rather than both new IOS devices.
Thanks in advance for the thoughts and suggestions.

Music fades and turns off after a few seconds of playback.

I've noticed an odd problem with the ipod/music function of my iphone 4. When start an album, the first song will play for about 15 seconds. After that, the music fades and stops all together. I have to physically go back and push play again. It will play fine for some time, but this will happen again randomly.
It's particularly annoying when using the phone in the car. I know the iphone automatically does this if you unplug the headphone jack while the music is playing. I wonder if something could be wrong with that mechanism, maybe the jack.
I also only noticed this after updating to 4.3. If it's a 4.3 issue hopefully the next update (4.3.1?) will fix it.
Has anyone else had this issue/figured out what its all about?

Re: Wi-Fi connection turns off after 10 seconds

Hi All
Windows 7 64bit SP1 Canon sx280hs
My problem is when I try to connect to my computer, the camera shuts off after about 10 seconds. The camera shows up in devices and printers, and when I try to connect, it briefly shows up in device manager under portable devices and then disappears.
The camera window program opens briefly, and then I get the message the camera has been disconnected. the software will now close.
I have installed the latest firmware update for the camera, and it shows up in my actiontec router.I can even ping it successfully through the router during the 10 second window it is connected. I can connect my camera to my ipad without any problems.
I have reviewed my firewall and network settings, and everything seems to be in order, unless I am missing something obvious.
Network discovery, UPnP, file and print sharing, etc. have all been enabled.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Bruce

If anyone is having this problem, it turned out to be Norton 360. As soon as I changed my home network from shared to full trust, the camera connected with out problems.

IPhone 4 OS 7.1.2 doesn't turn off after notification

After I receive a text, email notification or missed phone call, the notification screen usually turns off after a few seconds. It's gotten to where about 40% of the time it just stays on until I manually hit the On/Off button. At first I thought it was because the phone was plugged up but it's also happening when it is unplugged.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

Try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
