HELP! Connecting shuffle to cradle turns off monitor

Hi, I've been having this intermittent problem that really starting to annoy. Sometimes while connecting my shuffle to the USB cradle my monitor will loose the video signal and go blank (looses video signal). Seems that the shuffle needs only to touch in male prong for the problem to happen. The only way to get the display working again is to reboot the PC.
Here's what I have: 2nd gen 1 gig silver shuffle, Vista (SP1), 4 gig ram, C2D 3.0 ghz, Asus EP35-DS3R motherboard, GeForce 7200GS GPU, Gateway 2200 connected via DVI
Oh, yes the problem happens no matter which USB input I use. I've updated all hardware and software, but I still have the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions or a similar problem?

Thanks,
don't know why it'd matter if I had a warranty or not since the function
in question is apart of what I'm supposed to be getting w/ cost of computer.
Time to load the overpriced 1 ton computer into the car and demand they fix it at the apple store. This is absurd since I originally bought this computer for music creating and it's the most unreliable computer EVER as far as stability for music. My audiophile records for like 10 sec. before the sound cuts out, everytime, but of course that's not apple's fault.
Never buying apple again. This is straw that broke the camels back. Anyone wanna trade a pc for my G5?
Sorry for the venting but this is where I draw the line!
Thanks,
Henry

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd suggest trying the steps in our iPad assistant first:

I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

[SOLVED] How to turn off monitor at CLI

Hi
I've been trying to find a way to turn off my monitor, but the solutions I've found were almost all for X environment.
The best hint I've got was add following lines to /etc/rc.local:
setterm -blank 1
setterm -powersave on
setterm -powerdown 1
With that, monitor was suppose to blank screen after 1 minute and, after another 1 minute, shutdown. But it only blanks and nothing more. Without the first line: "setterm -blank 1", it just don't do anything.
Does anybody has idea of what else should I try?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Nezmer
Even with aliases, I would have to type von with monitor turned off.
I've done a script, witch is not a perfect solution, but works fine.
monitor_off:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if X is running or not, turn off monitor, #
# wait for a key press and turn it on again. #
grep_result_file=$PWD'/x_running'
# Check if X is running.
ps -e | grep -e "\bX\b" > $grep_result_file
ps -e | grep -e "\bxorg\b" >> $grep_result_file
ps -e | grep -e "\bxserver\b" >> $grep_result_file
## If you want to check result file, uncomment following lines.
#echo "===== $grep_result_file - begin ====="
#cat $grep_result_file
#echo "===== $grep_result_file - end ====="
if [ ! -s $grep_result_file ] || [[ $(tty) =~ tty ]] || [[ $(tty) =~ vc ]]; then
echo 'Detected X not runnig or you are at console...'
if [ $UID -ne 0 ]; then
echo 'You need super user privileges to run this script at console.'
echo 'Rerun as super user or start X and run from a terminal.'
exit 0
fi
turn_off='vbetool dpms off'
turn_on='vbetool dpms on'
else
echo 'Detected X running...'
turn_off='xset dpms force off'
fi
echo 'Turning off monitor...'
$turn_off
echo 'Waiting for a key press...'
read -n1 -s
echo 'Turning on monitor...'
$turn_on
rm $grep_result_file
echo 'Finished: monitor_off'
It checks if X is running or not because at X environment vbetool was a little slow, at least for me.
That's it!
I hope this could be useful for someone else.
Thank you for helping, guys.
Vinícius
P.S.: I'm setting this thread as solved, but any suggestion about the script is welcome.

ITunes disables Power Options- Turn Off Monitor

If I just run iTunes on my Windows XP PC my monitor no longer turns off after the "Control Panel->Power Options->Power Schemes->Turn off monitor" time period has expired. The monitor stays on contiuously. This issue exists even if I exit iTunes. I need to manually go into control panel and reset the "Turn off monitor" setting.
I suppose there might be a reason iTunes wants to disable this when it's executing but how about putting this energy saving setting back they way it found it when I exit iTunes.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
J

Bug: Windows 7 DLL call to turn off monitor message crashes LabVIEW 10.0f2

Hi,
I wanted to log this bug on the forum. I have already logged this with NI UK Support: CAR# 286873
I was trying to find a way to turn off a laptop lcd
monitor during measurements. I was trying to replicate this
http://codereflect.com/2009/04/03/how-to-programmatically-turn-onoff-your-monitor/
which uses windows messaging.
I found the attached Monitor-1.vi somewhere on the forum that seems to do the above.
However when I run the VI it crashes LabVIEW 10.f2 on Windows 7 32-bit.
cheers
David

GT70 BSOD or Stuck after Windows puts it to sleep mode of turns off monitor

Hi Everyone!
i have an issue (or 2) with my laptop.
both happens when:
1) whenever i put the laptop into sleep mode or either windows does so automatically (inactive period), - the laptop will go to sleep just fine.
2) windows turns off monitor after a period of inactivity. (sleep mode due to inactivity was disabled in this case)
in both the cases i mentions above, if i wake the computer within lets say 5 minutes, it'll turn on just fine.
but after a certain period of time passes it wont.
with the sleep mode, the computer will wake and will then produce a BSOD STOP error 0x4 and restart.
with monitor turned off it'll simply wont turn on, not responding to neither keyboard, mouse or power button. - i have to do a hard reboot
any ideas?
anything i can check?
note the laptop just came back from a warranty repair, so all parts have been tested and been found ok!
system specs:
MSI GT70-0ND
CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (Intel GPU HD 4000 included)
Memory: 16GB DDR3
Storage: 750GB HDD 7200rpm
128GB SSD (Patriot Pyro SE) - OS installed on this.
GPU: 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675MX
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Thanks in Advance!!

i dont think i have the same problem as in the other thread.
my bios:
my laptop doesnt restart when my screen is turned off and i try to wake it. it would simply wont wake up.
and my BSOD happens only after i wake the laptop from sleep mode and only if it been in sleep mode for a while. meaning i if i wake it up within a few mins of going to sleep it'll boot justfine.

Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

Ipod Won't Connect To Computer Or Turn Off

I connected my ipod to my mac and the ipod screen turned to the usual do not connect. But the iPod icon did not show up on the desktop or iTunes menu. I unconnected my iPod and tried to turn it off but it won't. It continued to show the do not disconnect screen as well as being on hold even though it wasn't. This is the first time this is happened and I have had my iPod since it first came out. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Turning off monitor detection?

Is there a way to turn of monitor auto-detection. I am using a kvm and have the a monitor hooked up as primary desktop on external dvi connector. Using iMac display as secondary monitor. Every time I use kvm to switch to another monitor the resolution gets reset and the anything i have on the secondary (main iMac) screen gets shifted over because primary sceens is resized to a lower resolution. How can i turn off autodetection or lock in the main screen resolution?

Hi calaban9
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Turn off Mirroring!
If you use Extended Desktop you can choose a resolution for each display, that should not change when the external is switched off.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303086
Resolutions
+When you connect the adapter to the computer, the screen may refresh momentarily as the computer prepares itself for the new video output. When the computer is mirroring video, it tries to synchronize the resolution of the built-in and external displays. If they can't be matched, the computer will change the resolution of both screens to the highest common resolution which may cause areas of the built-in display to be blacked out.+

Can't connect to internet without turning off firewall

For the last few days, I cannot connect to the internet unless I turn off the firewall in Security. I suspect it is due to the latest OSX update after which the connection problem appears. Does anyone have the same problem? I connect using wifi via Airport Extreme Base Station which I hope protect me to some extent online. I don't want to go online unprotected. Can someone help?

thanks James. My hard drive died shortly afterwards. After putting in a new drive and re-installed from backup, the problem went away. I guess it was the result of the dying hard drive.

- Try resetting the iPod
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to cpmputer and restore if it shows in iTunes
- If iPod is still frozen on, let the battery fully drain. Then after charging for an hour try the above again.

IPhone 4 froze and can't connect to iTunes or turn off.

My iPhone 4 froze and wont connect to iTunes due to an invalid response recived from the device. I already tried Apple support but I can't exactly call them when my phone is froze and wont work, now can I? It's stuck on the unlock screen with the slider bar all the way to the right. Then it just died. And I can't get it to turn off or anything.

Try restoring your phone.

Please help me! Can´t turn off safari bookmarks

iPhone 4s with latest software and iCloud. iCloud sync works fine with my iMac an MBP, but I have a major problem with the iPhone.
Have read several tips on how to solve the sync issues, but my problem is that it the thing refuses to turn off the bookmarks.
When I turn the switch to off I get the message "Turing Off Bookmarks", but the wheel just keeps spinning (for ages) and nothing happens.
I´ve tried to turn off the Bookmark syncing on my iMac and MBP, but that doesn´t help.

We have a classroom that has odd acoustics that caused a severe feedback loop. We discovered that muting the speakers helped, but did not totally solve the problem. Now we want to try forcing the internal microphone input level to 0 so that we killing the issue from both ends. However...
I found that sliding the "Input volume" level to 0 in the Sound preference pane does not "mute" the mic. It actually still picks up sound. I even tried using the following command:
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to set volume input volume 0
This does make the slider visibly go all the way to the left, but again does not completely turn off the mic.
I tested this two ways: clapping my hands in front of the iMac and watching the Input level meter, and doing a voice recording in Garage Band.
Why the **** can't we turn off the mic?!?
