  • Blackberry pearl 8120 screen auto shut off

    Hi,
    The screen of my blackberry pearl 8120 shuts off automatically (almost once every day). When this happens, I have to press the start button and it would come back to the main screen with in few seconds and get registered with AT&T. I have updated the device software, removed the media card but still have the problem. Please let me know how to avoid this.
    Thanks

  • I have a 2011 MBA currently running OS X 10.9.2.  The household power in this area is erratic and subject to surges and full cut-offs.  Do I need a UPS, is auto shut-off available?

    Will the battery protect the MBA in the event of a power issue?  Will the MBA interface with a UPS with a USB connection?  Will this allow auto shut-off if the MBA is asleep?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you are using your computer during a brown-out you won't notice a thing because it has a battery. If there is a power-surge one of two things will happen: 1) the power adaptor will handle it, perhaps getting fried in the process or 2) it will be overwhelmed and the computer will also fry. Plugging the power adaptor into a high quality surge protector is a very good idea. Note: surge protectors do 'wear' out. Some have warning lights that indicate this has happened but the techs at work don't trust them. They recommend that you give yourself a new surge protector on your birthday.

  • Is there a way to keep the Nano from auto shutting off?

    This is probably a weird question because it doesn't really involve a problem per se. I am a drummer in a band. I am using my iPod 1 GB Nano to play an intro during our live shows and also play segways between songs because it is more reliable than a laptop. Basically each of my sound clips are in their own playlist so that once the clip ends it stops and doesn't go to the next song and I'm not trying stop it while I'm also playing the drums. But within a minute or so of finishing the sound clip the Nano shuts off. When I turn it back on it causes a small popping sound in the PA (which is undesireable). I'm wondering if there is a way to keep the iPOD from shutting off automatically. I haven't been able to find any settings that allow me to prevent it from auto shut off. Any suggestions? And just to clarify, it is not shutting off while playing the sound clip, but usually a minute or so after. So It's not like it is malfunctioning. But there must be some way to keep it from shutting off automatically.

    Hello- I use a radio app with my iPod touch 5, when I plug it in to my JBL dock speaker, it shuts down after about 10 minutes. Can I defeat this auto shut off mode ? thanks -

    Al that is left are the standard fixes:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Iphone 4 auto shut off when battery 20% and lower.

    My Iphone 4 auto shut off when battery 20% and lower. The phone is only 1.5 years old. Can I know why this happen?

    Most commom reason for this is faulty battery. You could try Restore with iTunes on computer, at end when prompted, Set Up iPhone as New. If still problem and you have AppleCare, take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, make Genius reservation and take to Apple Store for quick free battery diagnostic testing.

  • Why was the program automatally  shut off immediately  ?

    I  bought I pad in HK .  When I used QQ and memory note,  when I wrote "我” , the program was shut off immediately , I has to visit the program  again.  Why ?  

    I cannot speak to this specific instance, but many times, when the pad shuts down unexpectedly, there is simply a memory problem.   Double tap the home button and see the apps in the recently used area.  Most of them are simply recently used, but some do continue to keep some memory reserved.
    Double tap to see the task bar.  Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then shut them down by touching the minus sign.
    Them reboot.  Press and hold the sleep and hold buttons until you see the apple logo.  Ignore the red slider.
    Going through the task bar and closing off old apps is a good way to keep the machine running well.

  • Late 2011 model display problems: white screen and shuts off on its own

    A few days ago my macbook pro (late 2011 model) starting going nuts. The screen would turn white or become pixelated all the sudden, even if all i'm running is Chrome. The laptop is not over heated. This is what would happen:
    Screen goes white or become pixilated
    Computer shuts off on its own after a moment
    Attempt to reboot, stuck on apple logo screen (pixilated)
    Shuts off on its own again
    The only way to reboot is through safe mode.
    I've tried resetting SMC and running an apple hardware check.

    It's most likely the macbook pro 2011 denied by apple GPU problem many many others suffer from too.
    you can read about it here if you have a few days.

  • What do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?, what do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?

    what do i do if my ipod touch keeps turning on, going to the charge screen, then going to the apple screen, then shutting off?

    If it is still charging using the adapter, let it stay there for at least 15min, then connect again, if necessary use recovery mode. iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, and the battery still shows the red charging icon, you might need a new battery.

    okay tomorrow i will try another processor chip but what if doesn't work , same here i suspect it's bios so what could let some motherboard turn on and off immediately?
    Bad CPU? bad Motherboard? Other stuff.
    The only way to know is testing parts.
    You said it already worked with another CPU. Did you check CPU socket pins?
