  • BTN200 loses connection to laptop if not used for a period of time.

    Is there a way to turn off or increase the inactivity time out on this headset... seems it is too short of time... i keep having to power on the devices... it is fully charged as i received the item on Friday, charged it on Sunday and using it today for the first time so battery cannot be dead... please help it is annoying to keep having to hit power button to connect.
    Actually, working more with the device what happens is if i move away from my laptop, the connection gets lost and then the power goes off after a while in which case i have to hit the power button for few seconds to reconnect the headphones... so my question is there a way to increase the power off timing?
    well i ran some timing and the headphones will lose connection after 7mn if not within range of laptop, then shut down after 5mn... but if headphones is always near the laptop it will never lose connection so it's all good.
    Device is working great i just needed to learn how it is working.... Great device!!!!! love it!!!

    Then your brother can set it up as a new iPad.
    If you do this, you will lose non-iTunes-purchased music, photos, documents, saved progression of games, saved settings on other apps, etc. unless they are backed up somewhere else such as on a computer or through iCloud. After all, you are erasing all content and settings. It won't affect your iCloud stuff such as apps and music you bought through iTunes; you can re-download all that through iTunes. You can also redownload iCloud mail from the iCloud server.

  • Apple to lights are flashing and displaying to connect to laptop to restore but I don't not own a laptop.

    Apple TV  light is flashing and displaying to connect to laptop to restore but I don't not own a laptop. can I restore with the remote ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume when you say you do not own a laptop, that you do not own a computer of any kind.
    If you don't have a friend that has a computer that runs iTunes, then you can always take it into the nearest Apple Store and they will restore it for you.

  • I connected my laptop to the tv and it has worked before. this time only the laptop flashes the blue screen and the tv is saying no signal. when i tried to check the dispaly arrangement it says this:The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden

    i connected my laptop to the tv and it has worked before. this time only the laptop flashes the blue screen and the tv is saying no signal. when i tried to check the dispaly arrangement it says this:The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer.

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • Want to use my laptop as a monitor for PS2. Component cables connect how?

    Since the big fancy TV townstairs is not exactly my personal one, I would like to play whenever, and wherever I want. I know I can connect HDMI cables via an adaptor, but this is component I am dealing with.
    What exact adaptor do I need to connect component AV cables to my laptop, and how make it work as a monitor?

    Buying another HDTV likely would be the better choice as it's a larger screen, easier to play games and watch movies than prematurely burning out your expensive laptop and wearing out the port connecting and reconnecting.
    A PS2 is really a console designed to be more or less pernamently connected to a HDCP compliant HDTV for high quality content, not a non-compliant laptop computer.
    But I guess if you want to screen record PS2 games for some reason, this should work.

  • I currently use a mifi device to connect my laptops to the internet, can I use the iphone 5c as an internet access point for them

    Can the iphone 5c be used as a router to connect my laptop to the internet???

    Yes, but it depends on what plan you have.
    What plan name do you have as stated on your bill. If it says More Everything, the hotspot functionality is already included.

  • I am having problems connecting my macbook air to an external display

    I recently purchased a 2012 MacBook Air, and am currently running Mountain Lion.
    When I try to connect an external VGA overhead projector, for use in a conference room, using the Thunderbolt to VGA adapter, my screen resolution changes, but nothing is projected from the overhead projector. I used to do this with my 2011 MacBook AIr and had no problems doing this.
    What am I doing wrong? Is it Mountain Lion or a bug in the MacBook Air. I tried connecting to an overhead projector at my office and had no problems, but in my clients conference room I have no luck.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, I'm not finding success with this workaround.  I'm running Mountain Lion on a MacBook Air, with the micro-DVI to VGA adapter, and the projector is not detecting the computer (regardless of repeatedly turning the two machines on and off, in various orders).  I have been able to do this, prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, with the same hardware configuration, so it seems that the problem is the software, not the hardware.
    I do not see a Display icon in the menu bar, which is how I used to be able to switch.  The Display setting in System Preferences does not offer a solution (though I have selected the "Show mirroring options in menu bar when available" option.  I can't find a configuration of keys that will allow me to switch displays.
    By the way, when I have both devices on, connect the VGA cable to the adapter, and then connect the adapter to the micro-DVI port, it shuts off my laptop.  I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen.
    If anyone has figured out a reliable way to use a MacBook Air, running Mountain Lion, using a micro-DVI to VGA adapter, for an overhead project, please advise.

  • VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...?

    Attaching VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...? Is this possible? I have a personal MBP that'd work fine, but need to connect a work laptop as well. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

    As mentioned, the biggest issue is that the VGA signal is analog, and the Apple Cinema Displays only accept digital signals. Does your laptop have any other videop output ports? A DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort would be the easiest, of course, but if you have an HDMI connection, you could get something like the Atlona HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter and Scaler. Not exactly cheap at $170, but if you really need it, and you have the port, maybe it is a solution for you. The only issue, it seems, is you would be limited to 1920x1080 resolution.

  • Connecting HP laptop to my television

    When I connect my laptop to my television, my tv displays the laptop screen and sound, but not video.  These are the steps I followed:
    I connected my laptop to tv with hdmi cord.
    Using tv 'source', I choose appropriate hdmi setting.
    I chose second screen only option on my laptop.
    My laptop 'desk top' was displayed on the tv screen. (Good!)
    I opened 'Netflix', and it was also displayed on tv screen. (Stll good!)
    I clicked on a movie to watch...suddenly the tv screen is black, but the tv does have sound. (NOT good!)
    Do I have to change a video setting on my laptop?  I don't know how to do this.

  • Cant connect from laptop to tv

    hi all!
    my mom wants her s10-3t to be connected to our tv which has a vga pc input..
    i suppose vga out from laptop to vga in on the tv?
    i tried detecting the tv on the laptop but it wont detect. i also tried to check the phrase "connect to 2nd vga anyway?" or something that said like that. pressed fn+f3 or win key + P and tried all options but still no signal flowing to the tv.
    i have reformatted her laptop a few months ago (for some reason) and installed all drivers that i have downloaded here in lenovo site.
    before i formatted her laptop we didnt had a chance to connect it to the tv.
    any help? or i must have missed some driver or something to install to the laptop from its installers? what driver is needed to help it run via vga out to tv?
    i repeatedly tried installing the chipset, bios, tv tuner, vga and nothing works.

    hi bklixuz,
    Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
    There may be few things that you might want to check.
    -Most TVs has an input/source option. Make sure your TV is set on VGA source mode.
    -Pressing Fn+F3 should give you an interface for display selection. if that did not appear Try pressing:
    Fn + F5: Open the interface for integrated wireless devices settings (on/off).
    Fn + F6: Enable/Disable the touchpad.
    to test the function option if it is working fine If those did not work either then Try reinstalling Lenovo Energy management and try the Fn+F3 again.
    Download it here:
    Lenovo Energy Management (Win7)
    IN1EGC25WW5.exe
    7.19 MB
    Lenovo Energy Management (WinXP)
    IN1EGC25WW1.exe
    4.18MB
    - Try using other display VGA Cable.
