Center button only turns off the nano

My center button on my relatively new ipod nano just turns off the unit. I cannot get it to music>. It just goes into the cd/song but not the categories under music! What to do?

I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the machine. The message is in several foreign languages beside english, and there is not way to get rid of it. The curser is inactive.

I am getting a message in the middle of my imac screen instructing me to hold down the on-off button and turn off the computer. The message is in several languages and completely takes over the computer disabling the mouse and all other functions. The only option is to unplug the computer or turn it off. I'm concerned that this is a virus. It does not look like it's related to Apple or the imac OS.

That sounds like a kernel panic. These are generally hardware related, often caused by poorly seated or fauly RAM.

My MBP doesn't go to sleep, only turns off the display

So I recently upgraded to 10.9.2 from 10.6.8. I have MacBook Pro mid 2010. I used to use InsomniaX to disable sleep when my lid was closed. It worked great, I could disable it anytime. Now after upgrading OS X I had to upgrade to newest InsomniaX so it worked. It use to work good, but when I wanted to disable it and have my MBP go to sleep I sometimes had issues.
Decided to uninstall it completely and try other apps - I installed NoSleep, but noticed that when I disable it then it won't go fully sleep.
Instead it just turns off the display and keyboard backlights, I hear my fans going.
I tried to uninstall everything completely - from any traces of InsomniaX, and as well NoSleep. I did try to reset SMC and PRAM. Now when I close the lid or go to apple menu and chose Sleep - I still can hear the fans going, the display is off, the light on the right side of the MacBook case is turned on (instead of flashing, like it used to when it slept) - dimmed when I Sleep via Apple menu, bright when I close the lid.
What can I do to somehow revert to the default setting so my MBP can go to sleep?

OK I solved it.
I followed instructions from http://superuser.com/questions/214943/what-is-preventing-my-macbook-from-sleepin g/409481/
Go to Utilities in the Applications folder and open the "Terminal" app.
Type pmset -g and hit Enter
If "sleep" has 0 next to it and the words "imposed by" or "prevented by ; The number next to the imposed by is the process ID causing the problem. Copy that number.
Type ps -e | grep <process ID here> and hit Enter. This will list all running processes that have that ID (will also include the grep process)
For me it turned out to be Internet Sharing enabled that prevented my MBP from sleeping.

My "volume up" button also turns off the ipod and vice versa? help!

I got my ipod touch 2g about a week or 2 ago, everything worked fine until today. After coming back from lunch, i sat down in my office and turned on my touch and quickly noticed the volume went up by itself for no reason. i turned it off and on a couple of times but the problem persists. So i reset the ipod, turned it off and on a couple more times, reset the setting and even software restored it. It didn't work. Now both my power and volume up button does the same thing -- turns the ipod off and volume up at the same time. so when i press the power or volume up button, the volume goes up, and the ipod turns off as soon as i let go of it.
I just upgraded to 3.0 couple days ago, i dont' know if thats the problem but as of the ipod its in a 99% mint condition and the buttons dont feel to be broken at all. I even downgraded to 2.2.1 to see if that would solve the problem, and it didnt.
thanks alot for the help.

I am also almost having this same exact problem. The only difference for me though is that if I completely power off the touch it won't power on again until I plug it in. The battery isn't dead, it just won't power on until the sync cord is plugged in to the computer or I put the touch on my Ihome's dock. Other than that my up volume acts just like the power button. It all started shortly after I installed 3.0. I have restored, let the battery die, and reset but it still does the same thing. I've only had it a few months, but it's still under warranty so I guess I'm gonna hafta see what the "geniuses" think.

My McPro only turns off the screen in standy by (energy save mode)

My MacPro doesn’t go to standby (energy save mode) the only one what he does is to turn of the monitor. No any devices connected only the keyboard and mouse and of course a monitor.
I would be appreciated for any help.
BR,
Thomas

Do you have any PCI cards installed, such as RAID or Fiber Channel?
Enable power button sleep (Options button in Energy Saver system preference), unplug ALL USB devices (including the keyboard and mouse) and the display, then press the power button (just a quick press). Does it sleep (power light pulsating)?
Try a SMU reset

Try a PRAM by restarting the computer while holding down the Command, Option, P, and R keys until you hear the startup sound a second time.

Turning off the Nano

Airplay streaming stops when you turn off the iPad screen

Hi All,
If you are streaming something from your iPad using Airplay, and you hit the button to turn off the iPad screen, it seems that the streaming stops...
Is there any way to fix that? I mean, if you are watching a long video, for example, you don't want your iPad to remain on the whole time.
Any advice?
- Thanx
- Jon

Jon-
You are saying the AirPlay App does not work when the iPad goes to sleep. Other Apps do, including the Music App, so you might expect AirPlay to work as well.
Another limit may be the timer setting at Settings-General-Auto Lock. Mine is set to 5 Minutes by default. You may need to set yours to Never, to keep the iPad from sleeping while streaming.
I suggest you provide feedback to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.

How to use the viewfinder? can't turn off the screen

i bought the powershot a1400 for the viewfinder but can't turn off the screen to use the viewfinder.
manual says to use down button to turn off the screen, - didn't work.
contacted Canon, they said to hold down the "disp" button until screen disappears, that didn't work.
what do i do?

Seems to me the Display button and the Down button are the same thing...you press the button as mentioned and it should cycle through...if it doesn't call Canon back and initiate a service request or return it to where you bought it if possible.
There are no tricks to it other than the screen automatically turns off in Movie mode...does that work ?

Ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it doesn't respond to button presses on the touch screen.

ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it does not respond to button presses on the touch screen. He also has just a white screen instead of the desktop display. Tried to rearrange the screen from another Ipod nano, but nothing came of it - all the same ... What should I do?

Hi Rc_Drifter,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano. Restoring the device may resolve the backlight issue as well.

Display shows a white screen
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
I hope this information helps ....

My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
What should I do?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

I updated my LG G3 this week and now it SUCKS! When I'm connected to WIFI, nothing on Facebook works. The photos and videos won't populate. I have to turn off the WIFI and only use the mobile data. Not to mention, I really hate the way it looks now.

I'm thinking of changing providers now.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

how do you turn off the apple TV box? There doesn't seem to be an off button. The status light stays on.

Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off. To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.
