Have a G3 pismo, works great, but when I plug in the power cord, the light won't come on to indicate its charging. It is charging, and the battery is good, its just that the light won't come on. Could it be something with the backup battery?
I have a G3 bronze keyboard that works, with a good battery, but when the power supply is plugged in, the charging light on the back of the laptop
will not come on. It is charging however, and have two different apple power adapters and both will charge the main battery, it's just that the light won't come on.
Did a reset of the pmu, but no changes. The date stays current, but wondering if the backup battery could be getting weak and affecting it , or is something else going on?
The power connector in the G3 PowerBook is a weak link. Removed, it looks like this:

The connector probably hasn't failed, but the solder joints where "legs" on the connector attached to the logic/power board are under a lot of stress after 10 years of use. Little bumps and tugs on the power cord eventually degrade the connection. You can check for looseness easily---see if the connector feels loose when you GENTLY wiggle it with a fingertip. It should have zero play if it's still firmly attached. You can also plug in the power adaptor and see if slight movements if the plug make the light turn on. Pretty diagnostic of a loose connector.
The date stays current,
Make sure you are doing this check correctly. If you have an always-on internet connection, the date/time are fed froma network time server and will always read properly unless you test with the internet connect turned off or disconnected.

hi,
phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply."Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng? -

Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?

My shuffle works fine but when I plug it in to charge nothing happens? Any advice?
I have just recently been given an ipod shuffle, I've uploaded all of my music, played it and it works absolutely fine. However now that the battery has run out, when I go to charge it it doesn't charge at all. I don't understand why it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

just got new ipohone 4s and used my wife's appleid to sync some apps. i now have my own appleid. i have logged in on my iphone but when i choose to update apps my wife's appleid is still there.
This is happening because there must be one or more apps on your phone that were purchased using your wife's Apple ID. Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID you are currently using in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your wife's ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update. So I clicked on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.) It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes. ***??? I restarted my computer and tried the whole process again and still...the power cord with an arrow to iTunes. And I know this means I have to go to Apple and get another phone and will lose anything that wasn't backed up. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution so I don't have to do a restore???
Reboot your computer.
Disable your antivirus and firewall.
Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. If your computer is not a laptop and has ports on both front and back use a port on the back.
If iTunes does not recognize the phone when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it STILL doesn't work open a command window and type:
netsh winsock reset
Then try again. (It seems that a recent Microsoft Windows update may have corrupted network settings; this restores them to the factory default).
BTW, was there an error number associated with the failed update? -
I just downloaded 5.2 and both my Apple TV shows and movies won't come up. Hulu and Netflix works fine, but when I go to select a purchased move or show through the apple menu, spiral comes up for about 10 seconds and then brings me back to the main page

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Ended up logging out of my apple ID account. Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly. I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense. I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in. Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some. Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating -
My G5 PowerPC still works great, but what is the latest OS that is possible. I just bought a new HP Printer and it is not compatible with OS 10.4. Is there any hope?
A PPC G5 cannot run any version of OS X beyond Leopard 10.5.8.
You should be able to find a Leopard retail (black) install disk on eBay. A grey update disk is machine specific and won't work. -

Could you help me with an app situation? We purchased several codes for Splashtop to install on our iPad 2's. It was working great but now that we upgraded the OS they have disappeared. The codes that we purchased are giving us an error that they have already been used. So far it has only been 2 iPads.
Any solutions?The compiler is highlighting the areas you got wrong, although the error messages are somewhat confusing.
Error 1: NSLog is a function and needs to be called as such, see e.g. the circleArea call on the line above. Functions are called using the function-name with its arguments in paratheses e.g. foo(12, 13).
Error 2: looks like a typo, defining a function is done as function-name(... <arguments> ...) { ... <body> ...}. In your code there is a ";" between the arguments and the body that should not be there, you probably copy pasted it from the forward declaration at the top of the source codde file. -
I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail. It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding. Any suggestions?
I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail. I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.
