Ok this may be what I was lookign for. I just did this, we will see how well that works out.

Any other ideas or links? For when I find out that didn't work.

ever since i updated my 4th generation ipod touch software to 6.0.1 it keeps shutting off for no reason. anyone know why it might do this?
If the reset does no work
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Maybe the replacement is defective. -
Satellite A200 - Display goes off for no reason
I've a Satellite A200-E530D running Windows Vista Home Premium. For the past month, i've had something strange happening to my computer, soon after boot up, the display goes off. for no good reason! the only option i have is to hard boot the system and everythings fine...though a couple of times after restarting it again went off.
I've tried updating to the latest display drivers (I have a Nvidia Geforce 7300 Go graphics with a 128 MB of VRAM)
Another strange thing, Vista SP1 doesn't install on my machine. tried uninstalling my Anti virus, but that hasnt helped either.
Can anybody shed some light on my dark display?im hoping its not a failing inverter board. hardware support where i come from (India) costs a bomb, and for a laptop, its a hell of a lot more than a bomb.
i dont think its a failing inverter board though...shouldnt the board fail regularly while im using it then? the fact that my display switches off (and dude, it switches OFF completely, no backlight at all. my laptop responds only to a hard boot in the @$$) right after i switch on my computer points to a software malfunction. because, afterwards, my PC works just fine for the the next seven or eight hours that i use it for.
im guessing there something wrong with the way the drivers are loading up...or something.
maybe i should change the power options? i've configured the screen to switch off after a period of 1 min of no activity. and my laptops start up time (from the time i log in, to the time the little windows hourglass sign disappears) can be a little longer than a minute. is it possible that theres something wrong going on there?
like i said, im at my wits' end! -
Wifi keeps switching off for no reason, home hub 5...
Hello there,
We've had a problem recently in that our wifi keeps on packing up for no reason. We are living in a new build so all the lines should be good, and when we first got our BT broadband installed on 21st May this problem didn't occur. However in the last week the internet suddenly stops without warning, with the light on the hub flashing orange and then turning orange. Either leaving it for a while or restarting the hub a few times and we get reconnnected and the light turns blue. It is a problem that is becoming increasingly frustrating and tedious to have to deal with.
When connected connection is good: with ethernet download speed is about 30.5 mb, upload speed is 7.05. Using wireless this drops to around 10.5 download and 5 upload, which is acceptable for the area we are in, which isn't exactly famed for the best speeds. We have three computers, a printer and handheld devices connected, but not usually all at the same time.
We have had an engineer come round a couple of days ago, and he switched the master socket to a different room (?!) and suggested that this would resolve the problem, though I was skeptical. I was proven correct because the issue didn't resolve itself. I have no idea whether the problem is to do with the hub, the line, the socket or the exchange, though BT doesn't seem to be any the wiser either. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?
I have done a quiet line test, and it seems fine. Ateady very quiet hum (was using cordless phone), with the occassional slight crackle but only noticeable when listening very hard.
Would like to point out that usually the broadband is more prone to giving up when downloading large quantities of data, such as downloading a film, music or a large game, and less so when web browsing. However this doesn't exactly make the situation any better.
Any suggestions anyone??can you go to hub manager then troubleshooting then helpdesk and post 1-12
can you enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html
if you use wireless have you turned off smart setup http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44328/~/switching-smart-setup-on-and-off-on-the-bt-ho...
have you split the networks http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44798/related/1

Text tone keeps going quiet for no reason
Hello all.
Since the latest update I'm having a problem with my volume levels.
The text tone keeps going quiet on its own , so low I can't hear it properly but the ringer is still loud.
When I press the + and - volume buttons the ringer noise level goes up & down but the text tone stays the same.
Did it not used to change the volume of both the text AND the ringer?
To turn the text alert volume up, I now have to keep having to go into one of my videos and turning the volume up.
But then if I watch a video and turn the volume down the text alert volume goes down too!
Can anyone please help?Hi Nutty1961,
If you are having issues with your text tone going silent, and you are not changing your ring/silent switch, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
iPhone Buttons
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off for no reason
I have not dropped it, it will just be sitting on my desk and turn off, and then I have to hold the power button and home button to get it turn tun back on after a few minutes. It has not gotten wet, and I have not done anything to the iOS at all. any ideas?
Connect device to itunes and hold power and home together
When it restarts, immediately release home key
Keep holding the power button for 3 secs
Without releasing power, hold home too for 10 secs
Then release power but dont release home
Keep holding it for about 12 secs(until you hear device detection sound)
Your phone is in DFU mode now
Click restore in itunes and see if it works
If backup is not possible, you will lose all data -
Mail keeps going offline for no reason
During the course of a day Mail keeps going "Offline" and coming up with a dialogue box asking for me to re-enter my password. I've checked in my "account" and the information is still there so I manually have to click to go back "Online". But it repeats about every 15 minutes. Restarting the computer does not fix it and it's been happening for about 2 weeks now. Sometimes when I click to go back "Online" it doesn't happen straight away and I have to wait a few minutes. Very frustrating!!!. Sending mail is fine, it just affects receiving mail.
If Mail keeps asking for your password when retrieving mail, then it may very likely be that the password you entered has become corrupted in the Keychain. You should try this:
Open Keychain Access>Passwords and scroll through the list to find that specific entry and delete it; quit Keychain Access.
Restart Mail and enter your password again when it asks, and check the box to save it in the Keychain. If things work as expected, it will not ask you again unless your Keychain or an entry in it becomes corrupted again. -
Iphone 5 sound goes off for no reason.
Problem with alarm, ringtone, keypad etc sound. Works ok & then sound goes, so nothing sounds when it rings or reminder or alarm goes off. This happens even though I haven't made any changes to the settings during the day. I have to switch off & on the phone to fix it. Also, when I press home button to unlock the phone, Siri is the first thing that appears instead of "Swipe to unlock" message. I have also recently noticed that when I am typing on the keypad, sometimes a sound is made and then it stops and then starts up again.
I updated the phone a few days ago but the problem is still occurring...Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off. Then go into Settings>General>Accessibility & turn it off for good.

Last time i did pacman -Syu, the rc.conf.pacnew had some changes to the time settings. Instead of America/Vancouver, it had Canada/Pacific and instead of localtime it had UTC. I thought that looked ok so I made the changes. A while later I noticed that my time was off by a few hours (right now 17:20 instead of 22:30). I googled and man'd a bit to figure out how to set the date/time with date -s and hwclock -w (is this right?). That had me satisfied for a while but then next time I booted up, time was off again. This time I concluded that the new settings were the problem so I reversed them back to localtime and vancouver. I shut down and restarted. It came up with the correct time, so I assumed it was fixed. But then the next time I used my computer (now) I noticed it was off again.
So I don't know what's up. I've done a bit of googleing and wikiing but I can't find much. Has anyone seen this? Is there some script somewhere that says "if he's not looking, reset the time"? There's probably some simple thing that I missed...
By the way, in case this is a hardware problem, I'm using a toshiba satellite 1800.
Also, if this is the wrong board, please move me.bernarcher wrote:Did you try this: Time Skew in the "Time" wiki?

My toshiba laptop keeps turning off for no reason
my laptop is a Satellite A205 s7464 and when its on it randomly turns off. I cant seem to find the problem, its not overheating or anything, but it constantly does this.
can anyone help?The cpu fan may not be function causing the computer to shutdown. Does this happen when you walk away from the computer for awhile? Could it be set to hibernate?
the product specifications states the under some condition your computer may shut down not sure what that means?

CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design configuration. Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost data or damage to the product when used outside recommended conditions.

Iphone keeps turning off for no reason
My iphone seems to shut off randomly. It acts like the battery is low. I have to plug it in to get it to turn back on.

After upgrading to Mavericks, the free space on my SSD keeps going down for no apparent reason
I downloaded Mavericks and installed it on my macbookpro ( with Crucial M4 SSD) and the free space on my ssd keeps going down for no reason. I reinstalled it from a bootable flashdrive, and the free space went from 20G to 60. Since then it keeps going down and I am now on 48G. I cannot find the source of the drain. Anyone else with the same problem?
