Does your T61/T400 display screensaver when plugged in.

All of the sudden my laptop decided to use it's screensaver and logon after it's screensaver when pluged in. Before this the screen use to just stay on and after like 15 minutes it went black and I would have to move my mouse.
Is it good to have the screensaver then the logon after that?
This has never happened to me before lol..

Is it good? Well yes if you want your system to be secure. If you want to turn it off in XP right click on your desktop, select properties, click on the screensaver tab, and uncheck 'on resume, password protect'. It's a similar exercise on Vista, but I am not logged onto Vista at the moment.

Why does my ipad say "not charging" when plugged in?

Why does my ipad say "not charging," when plugged in?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
Read the KB article. Make sure you are using the 10W adapter that came with the iPad or a High-Power USB 2.0 port.

HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

but there is another unspecified error.
What is that error?
Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

Is there a way to keep the display on when plugged into power?

My Nexus had this option....but I don't see it on the Note 3. At this point, I'm not having any issues, I have the display on the brightest, live wallpapers, gps, Bluetooth.....just about everything turned on, and it's sooooo much more efficient than my Nexus....I couldn't go anywhere w/o an external battery pack. Over night, w/o power, I'd wake up w/ the Nexus at 60-70%....now w/ the note 3 it might be 96%....it's great...now I don't walk around looking like a suicide bomber w/ wires from phone to external battery....but I WOULD like the Note 3 to stay alert when it's plugged in to power.

ok you asked, here they are, I took it off the tab display because where your "more" was displayed, mine has "general"

Only displays apple logo, only displays that when plugged in.

When plugged in my iPod touch 3gen only displays the Apple logo. When not plugged in it does not turn on.
I have tried the reset method of holding the home and lock button. When pluged in the logo dissapears and comes back, when not plugged in the screen flash black for a second.

Next try the remaining actions of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT2844 When I plug my LED cinema display into my macbook Pro, the video switches automatically but the audio still plays via the macbook speakers by default. Is there any way to make the audio default to the display audio when plugged in?

Hi,
Pretty much as the tital says really. I'm fed up of having to manually select my audio output every time I plug my macbook pro into me LED display. Can I make it default the audio to the display when plugged in?

yeah- I think so, AlexGrady. see if your machine supports hdmi audio out, it should say under "about this mac"
then buy the correct adapter to your LED display. I think you also have to enable audio out via HDMI, and the adapter has to support HDMI audio passthrough
sorry, that's all I have for now

How can I stop the display dimming when plugged into a powersupply. Cannot read playlist in car using music player.

My new ipod seems to dim after a short time, even when plugged into a power supply, unlike my previous ipod, which used to stay illuminated
when plugged into the car stereo and external power
Now in order to see the playlist I have to swipe or touch the home button, using the music player. However using a GPS app, the screen stays
fully illuminated......as it should!
Is this normal now for playing music?
Also, the new grey on white menu display for music is very hard to read in the car in bright daylight.......unlke the old white on black. Nothing I
can do about that sadly except complain to apple directly :-(

Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

My iphone 5 wont turn on. all it does is reset over and over when plugged in

about a month ago Apple sent me my refurbished iPhone 5 when I got mine wet. This iPhone had a charging problem from the beginning, the cord they sent me wouldn't charge it (but I already had a different one so I wasn't worried). I used mine and it was fine but it would say like 89% charged , when I knew it was about to die or 1% charge after I had charged it for like 30 minutes. This didn't do anything but aggravate me when It died at 30% , so I wasn't worried again.. but now , whenever I plug it in , all it does is reset. The apple symbol will appear for a few seconds and then the phone will go back , and two minutes later - the same thing. when I unplug it , it just goes black. It has never been dropped or gotten wet , its always had a protective case on too.. I got online and saw that some people could go on iTunes and restore it & fix the problem.. but iTunes doesn't recognize my serial number and keeps saying "unknown error" when I try to restore and update it. I don't know what to do ): please help!

Yes, if you know you have a good Backup and your computer has a current iTunes then at this point you might as well Restore it to Factory Settings and see if it works well. You can take your iPhone 5 and hold the Home button while plugging in the lightning cable to it. This should result in the phone coming up with a graphic on the screen that indicates you should connect it to your Computer with iTunes and Restore. You can click on Restore and when it asks say Restore as a New Phone (Not from Backup). After it is full Restored and you go through the normal very few setup questions / answers you can go back and Restore from your Backup.

T400 Shuts down when plugging in monitor with VGA

My T400 shuts down instantly when I plug I my monitor (Dell WA2209). If I shut down the computer, and then try starting the computer with the monitor plugged in, the computer shuts down almost instantly after I press the power button. In each case, I have to unplug the computer, and remove the battery, before I can try turning the computer on again. I have installed the latest power manager, video drivers and bios. On the odd occasion, I am able to plug in my monitor without the computer shutting down. This happens when using integrated and discrete graphics. It worked for almost a year just fine, and just recently started doing this. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Other info: Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
Solved!

try a different vga cable.

Computer displays error when plugged in

hey,
ive plugged my ipod many a times in into my pakard bell windows xp computer without trouble, recently when i do, it doesnt show up on itunes & a message pops up on the desktop saying "windows does not recognise this device..." followed the 5rss tips, and it also says the same for my friends ipod,
i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it and it doesnt seem to work...
what do i do?

First, read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136 Even if no new driver is available for your PB, reload your USB driver as described in the article.
After this see if your iPod is recognized in Device Manager or My Computer. If it is, right click on it and change the drive letter to something higher, like M or P. After this reformat your iPod (FAT32, don't do a quick format), then Restore your iPod in iTunes.
Be sure when you do this to use a rear USB port on your computer and disconnect all other USB devices except your keyboard and mouse.

Kindle does not show up as device when plugged in USB

I was trying to transfer some files to my Kindle using the USB port. I have a Kindle 2, and a Rocketfish Micro USB cord. The Kindle does charge up so it is drawing power through the cord. But the Kindle does not show up as a device attached to my MacBook. My external HD (Firewire) and iPods (USB) all work perfectly through this USB hub.
I did call Apple (using my 30 day warranty for installing Snow Leopard) and the tech support person did not even know what a Kindle was.
Amazon says it's an Apple problem.
Apple doesn't seem to have any clue.
I've seen from various threads that USB devices do seem to have intermittent problems. Is the Kindle one such device?

Some devices do not work properly through a hub. Plug the kindle directly into your Mac and see if it works. Just because some devices work through a hub, doesn't mean all devices work through a hub. Apple does not support third party devices or third party hubs.

24" cinema display flashes when plugged to an imac

Hello,
I have a 24" cinema display and a 20" apple display connected to an iMac 2011 27" with an ATI Radeon HD 6970M 1 GB. The 24" Cinema display starts to flash quickly after the boot of the computer. Apple technician told us however that this configuration should work without problems.
I plug the 24 "cinema display on my Mac Pro rev 1.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 4870/512 MB. I have no problem of display even after a long time of use.
I plug the same screen on a MacBook Air late 2010 with a NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB using it as the main screen, the laptop cover down. I also have no problem. I have not tested this configuration with the 24" as a second screen.
The iMac motherboard has been changed once. Whenever I talk about this problem to Apple, I have no answer. Does anyone has experienced this kind of situation or know enough about this kind of problem tell me from where it may come?
Thank you

Hi there tomchr9
According to the technical specifications for the 24-inch LED display, the display is compatible with MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro systems with Mini DisplayPort. Use of these displays with non-Mac hardware is not supported by Apple.

Why does my bus list display 64 when i only have 32 in my environment

Hi in audio hardware and drivers 64 busses is unchecked, and my environment only has 32 busses yet when i select a bus there is 64 available, 32 in bold and 32 greyed out (out of use). How can i get around this so i can only have 32 busses.
Thanks, Ben

When i select a bus send on a channel there is a list of 64
busses and the first 32 are only enabled.
There has been a thread about this a few months ago.
You have enabled the 64-busses option at some point, hence the bus list has geon from 32 to 64 items. Then you turned it off again, so only 32-busses are available.
However, Logic doesn't shrink the flip menu back to 32 entries, so you still see 64-entries, but only the first 32 are enabled, and the remaining 32 inactive ones are greyed out and disabled.
It's a minor display glitch - do a search for the original thread for more info.

Why does my iPhone 4 turn off when plugged in?

My iPhone wont turn on unless plugged in, so I plug it in and it turns on..it says it's Wednesday Dec. 31 , 4:01 and thats wrong. It also says the battery life is at a 100% but I know that isn't right as well. It shuts off and then powers on again and repeats the same thing. I tried plugging it in to my Mac and the apple logo comes up and then goes away and that repeats over and over if plugged in.

iOS version? Jailbroken?

Does your T61/T400 display screensaver when plugged in.
