H330 won't switch to UPS when power fails

I have an APC XS 1000 UPS with updated PowerChute software that worked fine with my former desktop (Dell), but my Lenovo H330 will not switch to it if the AC power fails. Windows 7 says the APC is working normally, it passes a self-test, and all of the peripheral devices that are connected to it switch over without a problem. But the H330 just immediately shuts off. Anyone have any ideas? .

hi America2468,
Welcome to the Community.
Assuming all peripherals are connected properly to the APC XS 1000 UPS and it's not exceeding the 600 Watts load (as per this specs sheet) then most likely the problem is with the battery. As per this article, newer UPS units will power up on a dead battery (your UPS maybe included on the list).
Check if the replace battery light is ON and replace it accordingly - see this article as a reference.
Hope this helps

My iphone 4 won't switch on but when i plug in my charger it does?

My IPhone 4 won't switch on but when i put it on the charger it does work i've tried everything but it won't work. Is something wrong with my charger or is it my Phone

An obvious possibilty is a dead battery. They don't last forever. Take it along to an Apple store and get it checked out.

My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
(note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
Anyone had this problem?
Even better has anyone got a solution?
Thanks,
Nick.

Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

IMessage won't switch to SMS when out of the data/wifi range

my boyfriend has his imessage switched off sometimes, and when he is out of his home and has no wifi or data my messages still send as imessages and won't let me manually switch them to SMS so he never gets the messages. It says it delivers as an imessage even when he has imessage turned off so he never gets most of my messages but i can't turn my imessage off as i depend on it to talk to family out of the country. It all worked fine until i upgraded to iOS7 and since then it's been having this issue. Is there anyway to fix this?

He shouldn't keep turning his iMessage off and on. He should leave it on, so that when you attempt to contact him, it will register if he is not in an active data setting. When his iMessage is constantly being turned off and on, it is just confusing the server, as if it was still on or off. His best bet is for him to leave it on. If he turns it off, your phone will not know he is out of an active data connection. This is the same problem people have when they leave iMessage active and get a different brand of phone. It appears the iMessages are being received, when the device doesn't get iMessages. Also, you cannot manually switch between the two for him because of the way the iMessage server works. You have the option right after the iMessage sends to hold down on the message bubble and select send as text, but that would require you to know that he isn't in a data connection. If he keeps his activated, the server will know if he is out of a data connection, and your iMessage should be sent correctly.

I have an iMac that won't boot up. I've read all posts on this subject to no avail. When power is switched on, it chimes, Apple logo appears, spinning wheel, then loading bar starts to fill. It gets to about 25% then switches off! Help please!

iMac that won't boot up! When power is switched on it chimes, Apple logo appears, then loading bar, then spinning wheel. Bar seems to load up and gets to around 25%, then reverts to the start again, gets to about 20% on the bar and then switches itself off leaving a black screen. Tried all the remedies on internet with no avail so would welcome some advice other than binning what is a relatively new computer. Earliest appointment Apple could offer was Thursday 17th, really useful for a business user _ not impressed,

You've probably tried this, but will it Safe Boot? Restart holding down the Shift key until you see the grey progress bar. You'll need to input your admin password during bootup. If it will boot you can then try to eject the disk using the various suggestions here that you haven't tried already:

APC UPS (uninterruptible power supply) not restarting after power restored

I just bought an APC UPS 1500VA Smart-UPS (model SUA1500) to protect:
-- iMac 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory and 500GB internal disk
-- (2) external Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB USB drives
-- (1) external MacGurus Burly Firewire enclosure with (4) 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives
-- DSL modem
-- Ethernet hub
-- Airport Express (b/g-model, not the new n model)
The UPS is connected to my Mac via USB cable. The UPS shows up in System Profiler as "Smart-UPS 1500 FW:601.3.D USB FW:8.1". It also appears in System Preference Energy Saver pane.
I have configured the Energy Saver preferences pane to shut down the computer when 75% of the UPS battery remains. And to restart after power failure (both on power adapter and on UPS).
So I cut the power to the UPS and the computer properly shuts down when the battery reaches 75%. A couple of minutes later, the UPS turns itself off. All good so far.
PROBLEM 1: When utility power is restored, the UPS does not restart. APC's documentation says it should. Is the Mac sending some sort of shut-down command to the UPS over the USB cable that is preventing the USB from restarting?
PROBLEM 2: After I manually start the UPS (by turning it on after utility power is restored), the Mac ignores its setting to "automatically restart after power failure." I want the machine to restart itself because it is my backup server, music server, and provides file sharing access for other computers on my home-office network.
Anyone else having trouble getting their UPS or Mac to restart after a power failure? Any thoughts? Any configuration settings I'm not getting right?
Many thanks.

The "Restart automatically after a power failure" option only restarts if the computer was running when power failed. Since you had it shutdown before the power failed, it's not going to restart. Maybe Mac servers, or the server version of OSX, have more options.
Instead of shutting down when the UPS battery is almost dead, you could just stop all the applications that write to disk, so there won't be any disk operations in progress, then wait for the power to fail. It will then restart when the power come back. You should have something running to monitor the UPS, in case power returns, and the UPS doesn't shut off its output. In that case you should have it restart your applications.

Playbook won't switch on, charge or reboot!

Hi All
Can anybody help with my playbook. It won't switch on via the power button, just the initial red light then nothing.
It doesn't respond to either it's own charger or my curves charger.
I have tried to reboot by holding the power and + and - buttons down simultaneously but I get the red light then a few flashing yellow lights then nothing, back to dead.
Please help.
Solved!

Iphone won't switch on

I switched my iPhone 4 off and now it is coming up with the little lines going around in a circle like a 'busy' symbol and won't switch on ..when I plug it in iTunes says error at OxE8000065

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

I'm new to this! My old mac 0sx 10.2.8 won't switch on. Not sure where to start to fix it? I am totally useless when it comes to computing, can anyone help me please!!

Hi, I am new to this support site so forgive me if I am doing it wrong but I have a problem that I am at a loss as what to do. My (very) old mac 10.2.8 won't switch on..I really only use it for music , there is a vast amount of music stored in it and am heartbroken that it won't even switch on. I have no idea where to start on trying to fix it. Can somebody please help me on where to start on fixing it

You might want to try resetting its power management unit; see the following tech notes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1895
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
The reason I'm suggesting this is that some startup settings are stored and preserved by a tiny battery that lasts about 5 years, inside the computer. When that battery dies, the computer may forget things like what time it is and which disk to start up from. If your Mac is around 5 years old or more, that little battery might be on its way out.
If you can't revive the Mac, don't panic. You can remove its internal hard drive and put it inside a USB/FireWire enclosure so that it can be hooked up to another Mac, and then you can use or copy all of the files and music off of it (assuming the startup problem has nothing to do with the hard drive).

I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
If no joy...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing!
