How to charge/disconnect

I opened my nano last night, plugged it into a USB port, installed the latest software as I was prompted, and went to bed. Now, 24 hours later, it is still displaying a "do not disconnect" message, even though the battery icon is full. What should I do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is iTunes installed on the computer? If so, open iTunes and see if the iPod is recognized. When it is, let iTunes update the iPod and then you can eject the iPod and remove it from the computer.
If the iPod is not showing up in iTunes, see this to be able to disconnect your iPod...

And then connect the iPod back up to the computer and open iTunes. Does iTunes recognize the iPod? If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

How to charge / disconnect Nano withouth iTunes

Hi,
I just bought a new apple nano and I sync it with my computer at home.
However, I have another computer at work in which there is no iTunes
installed. I want to charge my ipod in that computer so I have the
cable and I plug the iPod to the computer.
The iPod screen says do not disconnect, what do I do to disconnect the
iPod without damaging it if I dont have iTunes installed?
Thanks,
Dan

You can eject the iPod with the keyboard shortcut Control-E in Windows or by clicking on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop: Safely disconnect iPod

Is there a way to view how much charging time is left when charging iPod?

Is there a way to view how much charging time is left when charging our iPods (without having to disconnect and play a song to see the little battery icon)? The iBooks tell us the percentage and approximate time left to full charge. This would be a great feature for iPods as well, right? How can we suggest such a feature to the Mac techs for the next update?
5th Generation iPod, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

determining an ipods estimated remaining battery life is difficult because it doesnt know how long the backlight will stay on, how many times you change a songs, etc.
those are all variables that change the amount of battery

How to cancel & disconnect housephone but keep int...

Hello all,
I recieved a bill a few days ago informing me that I was being charged £2 for underuse of my answereing service and £2 for underuse of my calling time on my housephone on top of my monthly bill.
This is a disgusting money making scheme and I refuse to be charged money for NOT using my phone.
I wish to have my housephone immedietly disconnected but I understand that my O2 internet also used the BT line so I would like to know how I can disconnect my housephone but still keep my internet access.
I do not wish to give any further reason, nor am I going to change my mind so a simple step by step solution to my problem is all I require.
Thank you.

Hi Krenzathal,
This is a customer to customer forum so we can only advise, but not speak on behalf of BT. We also can't make arrangements for disconnecting your phone - you need to contact BT direcftly to do that.
I think the 'under use' charges are standard charges for a couple of the services which you have signed up to on your calling plan - the requirements for these are quite clearly spelled out if you look at your MYBT page. Typically you need to make 2 qualifying calls during each billing cycle to avoid these charges, or if you don't want the services you can (I think) just disable them.
As to your phone line - you need a telephone service in order to have broadband from any provider (possibly not for Virgin). Probably the best option is for you to contact O2 and get them to arrange to take over the line from BT - if you do it any other way you'll possibly suffer some internet disconnections.
I think that if you just cancel the line from BT then you'll end up paying for the O2 broadband but not able to use it as there won't be a phone service to transmit it on.
No one here is going to ask you to give further reasons or change your mind because, as BTcustomers, we are entirely unaffected by your decisions. However, if you do decide to cancel your BT line please be aware that if you are still within your contract period then you will have to buy your way out of it - also, if you refuse to pay for charges which are clearly spelled out on your billing plan then BT can (in theory) chase you to court and register a bad debt - not sure if it's worth it for £4.
Good luck with your phone line change.

How to properly disconnect a Mini Display Port (MDP) from a Macbook Pro 2012, 1,9?

Hello:
I was wondering if any Macxperts out there had any idea on how to properly disconnect a MDP Thunderbolt Cable from a 2012 1,9 Gen. Macbook Pro. From my experience with older Macbooks the command was "Command + F7" or something of the sort.
On my Macbook Pro 2012, there is no such button or commend to properly disconnect the plug; as if one were to disconnect or "eject" an external HD. I have read some articles on Google that some people just disconnect the plug and that action is sufice to disconnect an external video projection (Ex: Flat Screen Samsung).
Can a Macxpert or Genius comment on this piece of information? I would really apprecite some light shed on this situation. I just don't see unpluggin a cable connected to a video source enough to properly shut off a connection with out damaging the Macbook Pro's video card.
Thanks

Hello, Niel:
I just answer my own question. Forgive me but I am not up-to-date on the techlingo (Hot Swappable) but I just googled the term and found my answer.
Thanks again.

How do I disconnect my iPhone from one Apple ID after reregistering it to a new ID?

I had two iPhones registered to one Apple ID; when texting between the phones, the primary phone received both the sent and received from both - I've since deregistered one iPhone and created a separate ID for it. But the sent/received messages continue to appear on my primary phone. How do I disconnect the reregistered phone from my primary?

You need to completely sign out of the old id including to iCloud, iMessage, Facetime, AppStore, Game Center, Turn off Home Sharing or Photo Sharing. Everything you have been using with your old id and then completely sign in with the new apple id.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

How do I disconnect text in left margin from the main text box

I’ve used a template that has a graphic and text in a wide margin on the left side of the page. The margin is set at 2.75, where a a single column text box resides, containing much more descriptive text. It seems the material inside the left margin is not accessible. When I click on it text in the large text box highlights. What is connecting these two boxes and how can I disconnect them? I want to use the left side of the document to contain, among other things, hypertext links to other websites. At first I thought it might be a matter of layers, sending objects to the back or front, perhaps grouping or ungrouping but that hasn’t helped.
Anyone got any thoughts on what might be creating this connection?

Ah, that did it. Kind of strange place to hid that command don’t you think? I still don’t know what will happen when I convert it to a .doc. While I much prefer creating this stuff in Pages if the creation doesn’t survive the conversion and others can’t open the links it doesn’t do me much good. If it doesn’t survive the conversion to Word I’ll let you know.
thanks for your help.

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.

Here is apple's instructions in calibrating the battery KB Article
As for leaving it plugged in, that's the normal process most people do, there is circuitry in the computer to ensure the battery does not get over charged. Aside from calibrating it, I'd avoid any deep cycles, that is draining it completely, you're better off plugging it in when you have the opportunity and not wait until the battery is nearly drained. Deep cycles can shorten the life span of the battery.

How to charge from pc

how to charge from pc

The USB port on your computer does not provide enough power for a normal charge cycle. While it may charge when connected to a pc the charge cycle will take a very LONG time compared to using the charger that came with your iPad. When connected to the pc so little charge is being received by the iPad that the iPad will show not charging on its screen.
My suggestion is to use the charger that came with your iPad and plug it into a wall outlet.

For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware. The iPod's storage is a mounted volume. If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF. With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk. Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem. You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.
