Does FiOS stay on when the power goes out?

I'm wanting to buy a UPS for my computer, but I'm not sure if the internet will still work if the power's out.
The UPS would power the router & computer, and anything else with a plug inside my house needed for the internet. Verizon also gave us this big backup power box which i'm not sure where the power goes to.
Solved!

The VZ Battery Backup (BBU) supplys power to the ONT in the event of a power failure.  In order to keep phone service up as long as possible, the internet and video portions of the ONT are shut down after 5 minutes.  If you want to keep the internet up, plug the BBU into your UPS. 
Be sure and size your UPS according to the load factors and desired run time. 
APC has a nice calculator on their site.

  • When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used by Time Machine for backups is dismounted ?

    When ever the power goes out or I restart my iMac the external hard drive that is used for backups by Time Machine is dismounted and all backups are gone. I can reselect it and it will start working again, but I am worried if the iMac hard drive should fail will I be left without a backup ?

    It's possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app can fix it, but they're expensive (DiskWarrior is about $100), and there's no guarantee it can do it.
    Am prompted to reformat but I don't have a good understanding of what this means and how to do it.
    That will erase it.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #5.
    It sounds very much like the disk is beginning to fail, although it's possible there's a bad port, cable, connection or power supply (if it has its own).
    I'd suggest getting a new one, and using it for your Time Machine backups; once you have a good backup there, reformat the old one (and select Security Options to write zeros to the whole drive -- if that fails, you know the drive is toast).  Use it for secondary backups, per FAQ #27.   If it has failed, get a second new one for secondary backups. 

  • Why does my MBP hibernate when the power flickers

    I usually have my computer (MBP 3,1) hooked up to a powered 4-port USB hub. If the power goes off then when it comes back on my computer hibernates. Unplugging the USB hub from the computer before the power comes back on is sufficient to prevent this. Why would it do this? (My battery is fine.)

    The hub tries to pull the juice it needs from the MBP and it is overloading the bus. If you put the hub and anything connected to it and AC power on a UPS this will not happen.

  • Lost my iPod, remotely locked it through iCloud. What happens when the battery goes out?

    Hello!
    I lost my Ipod, but managed to locate and lock it remotely through Find my iPod and iCloud. It was located once, but hasn't been located again in the last four days. I think the battery may have run out. What happens when the battery is charged and the iPod turned back on? Does the lock and everything else that can be controlled with Find my iPod still apply?
    Thank you!

    Yes, because when you remotely lock the iPod via Find my iPod, the lock code is set as the lock code that you would use to unlock the iPod if you used a passcode normally. As long as the iPod is still connected to your Apple ID, Find my iPod should work as log as the iPod is connected to wifi.

  • How do I set up my MBP so that a message does not pop up when the power button is pressed?

    When I press my power button on my retina a message that says "Are you sure you want to ..?"
    How do I set it up so that that message does not pop up?
    My friends keep turning off my computer..

    Tell your friends to leave your computer alone. That's not the proper way to turn off your MBP. And no, that message cannot be turned off. It is a safety feature.

  • Why is my ipod shuffle pausing my music when the screen times outs?

    My Ipod shuffle is pausing whenever the screen times out...please help.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • Why does Satellite Pro A300 not start when the power button is pressed?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 will not start correctly when the power button is pressed. The situation is this: When I press the power button the Toshiba opening picture (Leading Innovation) appears and disappers quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. Then there is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation underneath. And nothing happens however long I wait.
    In order to get on with the starting proces I then shut down the computer by pressing down the power button until the computer stops. ("The hard way to shut down")
    Now I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then the computer starts normally with the Toshiba opening picture and after a few seconds I am asked to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.
    What shall I do to get a normal start procedure?

    When notebook starts normally (after choosing normal mode) shut down your notebook properly using START > Shut down option. Next start should be normal.
    When the OS is switched down on irregular way you will be always asked how to start it again (safe or normal mode).
    The same happen on my Satellite A300.

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

    What? Do you work for Apple?
    I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

  • When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in

    When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in
    and will then boot up again without any errors.
    I Have replace RAMS, Motherboard and Power Supply. I have check the Bio's  and Power setting on the unit. there is no place to cause this issue.
    Please help

    Syamak,
    You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from. 
    If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby. 
    If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
    I hope this helps.

  • I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "X" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how I can fix?.

    Hi, I am trying to delete some aps, but the delete "x" does not come up when the ap is pressed.  Anyone know how to fix.  Also, my ipod is turning off on its own and won't power back on unless I plug it in although it is fully charged.

    For the apps:
    - You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if there is the Restrictions set that prevents deleting apps

  • USB Charging - dead halt when the computer goes dormant?

    Hello all.
    I've had an iPhone 3G since late August. I normally charge my phone through a USB port on my iMac. This has, until now, always produced the desired result of a fully charged phone. I recently downloaded the most current software update. Since then, when the computer goes into energy saver the charging stops. Instead of picking up a fully charged phone on my way out the door to work, it's often at half or three-quarter charge. Charging resumes normally once the computer is woken.
    Has anyone else had this trouble? Any thoughts? It's easily solved by hooking it up to a wall socket...but I'd rather leave it hooked to the Mac. Any help is appreciated.

    Note sure what has changed, but the following was copied from this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Connect the device to your computer (not your keyboard) using the included cable to charge the battery and sync. Your computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If the device is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged into power and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed, the computer may go into standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPhone or iPod touch may not charge.

  • I lost the configuration when the power supply is shut down

    Hello, i have a problem with a linksys wireless model wrt54gs. When the power suply is off all the configuration is lost. How i can fix that problem?.

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a WAP54G that purchased 2 days ago:
    I set and used fine within 2 mins of opening shrink wrap. The next day we have a powercut. After power was restored the AP was broadcasting using its factory SSID and default WPA security setting. The Setup Wizard status showed the settings that I had entered BUT admin password was not recognised, neither was "admin" so I couldn't change settings.
    I Googled for reset to factory defaults - 60sec press of reset with power on, 15sec power off. Setup wizard confirmed that factory defaults have been restored.
    I then used the Web interface to configure - changed SSID, wireless security setting and admin password. Everything ok again.
    This morning find that SSID and wireless security settings are set back to default but strangely NOT the admin password. There are no other signs in the house of a power outage, the AP has just lost some of its config.
    What is going on?
