  • My assist button does not access vaio care any more help

    need help assist button does not activate vaio care any more please help me

     
    Hi westlyeaton, 
    Welcome to Sony Community! 
    I believe you were referring to Vaio Care Rescue Mode, right? To access the recovery partition. Is the Assist button stuck from being pressed? 
    Try to Power Cycle the laptop - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals-> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds
    Try to press the Assist button while the unit is on. There are certain models where Vaio Care (Desktop) will open when pressing Assist while the computer is on. Then test while the unit is off. 
    Let us know if this will work. 
    Thanks,
    Vincent

    Hi Marcel1no,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that it can be frustrating when an application downloaded from the App Store is not behaving as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article for information on troubleshooting apps downloaded from the App Store.

  • Car usb does not regognize my ipod nano anymore.

    My car usb does not recognize my ipod nano, help.

    Hey there William,
    It sounds like the iPod is not working correctly with the car stereo connection anymore. I recommend this troubleshooting article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    Troubleshooting tips
    Beginning playback and controlling music
    Some car stereos may require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
    When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you may notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.
    Disconnect and restart
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Isolate the issue
    Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
    Example: If you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
    If the device does not update successfully, the issue may lie with the device and not with the accessory. See one of the following articles, depending on your device:
    iPhone
    iPad
    iPod touch
    All the best,
    Sterling

    This is how I solved it, thanks to combined information posted on forums:
    1. Got a new external hard drive formatted for Mac (I was using read-only Windows from my PC)
    2. Created a folder in new external drive >imported to LR->send to trash- empty trash
    3. The above was still not working until I noticed one day magically the missing picture icon started to show up in LR
    4. I went to the "set as rejected"pictures> locate missing pic (and nearby ones)
    5. Selected the pics -photo>remove> delete from disk
    Done!!!
    Thanks to the hours spent on searching different threads, and to the relentless users because LR never provided any kind of support or formal response to solve this by just letting users to getting lost in frustration .

  • Nano does not appear in Itunes. Most of the time.

    Ah, I need help. I received my Ipod nano on Tuesday, and here it is Saturday, and it still isn't working properly.
    What it can't do:
    - Itunes does not recognize the Ipod Nano; under preferences, it says that no Ipod is connected
    - Cannot be found in Windows Explorer
    What it can do:
    - XP acknowledges it in the lower-right hand tray as a USB Mass Storage Device
    - Ipod Updater recognizes it; it is up to date.
    - It DID connect with Itunes early this morning; the nano was named and songs were transferred successfully. (however, upon trying to eject it, Itunes said that an application was using the files, and it had to be ejected using the Safely Remove Hardware icon)
    -when I had it working, I set it to open Itunes whenever the nano was connected. It still does this, but Itunes doesn't recognize the nano that opened it.
    What the computer has:
    Windows XP with Service Pack 2, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 2 USB 1.1 ports.
    What I've tried:
    - Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, but not restore. I don't really want to lose the only songs I seem to be able to get on it.
    - When reinstalling, the message that the Ipod nano needs formatting appears. Formatting never ends, often with the installation terminating with an error message (1628, I believe)
    - Updating Windows x 20
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. sigh Thanks in advance!!
    Kelty Cusack

    Holy guacamole! I got it to work! <3
    The computer I'm on had at one point been used in a network; there are fragments of network info left.
    WHAT WORKED:
    I changed the name of the drive of the Ipod nano.
    I followed the Windows advice at <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297694
    I had to use command prompt and follow Windows Help instructions to get it to work.
    Any issues beyond this, I will report...
    THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED:
    -Itunes reads the Nano
    -Windows Explorer reads the nano
    (much thanks to people who posted this on page one of this topic)

  • My new iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

    Help me my iPod nano does not get the battery life that is advertised

    Which battery life are you referring to? Apple's website states the iPod Nano 6th Gen will get "up to 24 hours of music playback when fully charged". There are going to be a lot of things that can change that. Are you using the stopwatch or the count down timer a lot? Are you using the FM radio a lot? Any accessories that you are using with the iPod? These will all have an effect on your battery life.

  • My new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    my new ipod nano does not sync the ipod name cannot be synced the required disk cannot be found

    Wow .... so you are syncing via WiFi when you sync .... would that be correct?
    I would still quit iTunes and then restart and see what happens. The iPad and iTunes must be playing some weird games.
    If you do sync via WiFi (I do), I think you are better off closing iTunes when you are done - unless of course you are using iTunes for Home Sharing or something like that. My experience is that if you leave iTunes running, the iPad and iTunes just start sending weird signals back and forth.
    Since I started Wifi syncing, I have seen messages in iTunes that made absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, that's my take on it. If you do not WiFi sync, then I have no clue why you are getting these messages.

  • Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

    itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

    I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

  • The display on my nano does not rotate anymore-how can i fix this?

    My Nano 6th generation stopped rotating the display. How can I fix this?

    The display on the 6G Nano does not rotate automatically.  It has to be done manually.  Place 2 fingers on the display in a pinch-like manner and rotate them either clockwise or counterclockwise.

  • No Nano - does not show up in ITunes or MY Computer

    I'm new to the IPOD and have had the Nano 1 week of which I spent 6 days trying to figure out why it wouldn't show up in ITunes.
    Solution - Eliminated extra drive assignments. I had used all the drive letter assignments from E: up to T: and had to remove the E: assignment so the Nano could use it.
    More info - The first time I plugged the Nano in it worked great. I loaded music onto it that I had previously stored and was able to listen and play it.
    So I decided to add more music from my CD collection.
    I removed the 3.5" floppy drive from the laptop and inserted the CD reader.
    !! That was the critical change because now the CD reader became D: drive which the Ipod had been using previously (I'm assuming, I never actually checked until it wouldn't work).
    After that I spent days trying to figure out why the Nano would no longer show up in ITunes. See details below:
    What I've Tried:
    1st Use:
    Windows XP 2002 SP1
    Had Itunes already on PC
    Charged Nano for a few hours until battery indicated full charge
    Plugged in 1st time, loaded Nano with tunes, no issues.
    Played music for awhile
    2nd Use:
    Swapped 3.5" Floppy drive for CD ROM drive
    Added more music from CD's
    Plugged in Nano
    ITunes opens up automatically
    Nano not shown in ITunes
    Nano not shown on My Computer
    Checked USB H/W configuration - shows IPOD connected
    Nano is charging, indicates "Do Not Disconnect"
    Disconnect Nano
    Shut down, Restart PC
    Reconnect Nano
    No change - no Nano
    Swapped USB Ports, no change - no Nano
    Disconnect Nano
    Reset Nano
    Reconnect Nano
    No change - no Nano
    Disconnect Nano
    Remove Itunes
    Reload Itunes from CD-ROM,
    Connect Nano when prompted by installation program but apparently doesn't recognize Nano is connected
    Installation gets stuck (45+ min) trying to "Format" Nano (Nano doesn't respond)
    Skip to next part of installation
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Reconnect Nano
    No change - no Nano
    Disconnect Nano
    Remove Itunes
    Reload Itunes from CD-ROM
    Installation gets stuck again trying to "Format" Nano (Nano doesn't respond)
    Skip to next part of installation
    Set USB Drivers configuration to not disable power to USB port
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Reconnect Nano
    No change - no Nano
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Remove Itunes
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Reload Itunes from CD-ROM
    Skip connecting Nano as part of installation
    Shutdown, Restart PC
    Run Ipod Updater 2005-09-06 program before plugging in Nano
    Connect Nano
    Restore software on Nano
    Nano Restores itself
    Nano indicates "Do not Disconnnect"
    ITunes opens up automatically
    Nano still not shown in ITunes
    Nano still not shown in My Computer
    Checked System\hardware\device manager\USB Mass Storage Device indicates says "Location 0 (Ipod)" and device is working properly
    Unplug Nano
    Swapped CD ROM with 3.5" Floppy drive
    Reboot PC
    Connect Nano
    Battery is already fully charged
    Noticed little timer thingy in upper left of Nano spinning around, probably always did it but this is first time I noticed it.
    ITunes Opens
    Nano still not shown in ITunes
    Nano still not shown in My Computer
    Nano shows up as USB Mass Storage Device under Safely Remove Hardware
    Final solution - free up drive assignment E: so Nano can use it.

    Glad you figured it out, but wow does that all make me glad I have a Mac!

    I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    Use iTunes.  It is designed to sync a Nano and other Apple devices.
