    Thanks for answer

    If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery.  Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up.  If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

  • My aluminum remote for Apple TV no longer seems to connect to the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery, but w/o success

    My aluminum remote does not appear to connect with the Apple TV receiver; I've changed the battery.  I can turn on the Apple TV and the opening screen comes up, but the remote doesn't seem to connect...no cursor or movement on the Apple TV screen occurs.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • TS3048 I changed the battery in my wireless keyboard and checked the batteries to make sure that they work.  When I returned to my computer (the computer was already on) the keyboard would not work, no response at all.  What do I do?

    I changed the battery in my wireless keyboard and checked the batteries to make sure that they are good, I left the computer on while I changed the batteries. When I returned to the computer, the computer does not acknowledge the keyboard so I can't do any diagnostics. What do I do?

    Hold the power key on the keyboard down for 5 secs to power off,  tap the power button once to start.   It should connect automatically.

  • T43p - Mouse pointer freezes after changing the battery to a new one

    Hello,
    I have bought a new battery for my IBM Thinkpad T43p. In the description of the new battery I have seen that this battery is compatible with T43 series. Battery details are: DC 10.8V 5200mAh/56Wh. Replace: 08K8214.
    My problem is:
    I have ordered a new battery for my Thinkpad T43p but when I turned off  the notebook and replace the old battery with the new one the notebook became strange. I use Windows XP Prof on this computer and when the login screen appeared and during I was typing my user name and password the mouse pointer was freezed and I had to turn off the computer. It was happened within approx 1 minute after the Login screen appeared. The symptom was the same with or without plugged in AC charger. I have tried several times and the same behavior was happened. When I changed back the old battery the computer became normal again without any freezing. The fan was working properly in both cases. The symptom is the same if I change the battery during AC charging and using Windows. 
    I don't have an idea about the reason of it. Can you help me with ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Slider

    Pull the battery out and run the machine on AC only. Does it freeze now?
    If it doesn't, the "new" battery needs to be replaced.
    Good luck.
    Cheers,

  • Change the battery pack

    I have seen many people with this issue - I have a powershot ELPH 530HS and it has been working with no issues. Recently it started giving an error stating that i should "change the battery pack". This is a fairly new camera and i doubt the battery is faulty. Anyone seen this issue? How did you fix it?

    You may need to let the rechargeable battery pack go completely dead before recharging. Some of the batteries get a "memory" if they get charged too often when they are not completely depleted of energy, and then won't fully charge. Use the battery pack until the camera just won't operate anymore, then try a recharge. There is a remote possibility that the battery contacts in the charger are not making proper contact, so just make sure the contacts on the battery pack and the charger are clean before plugging everything in.

  • How to change the battery in my bluetooth

    i got the new one but don't want to harm the case to change it.a little help please.

    Hmm, a quick scan over the manual does not indicate how to change the battery.  But their web page has a contact tab which will open your email client to sent them email to [email protected]  I suggest you contact them and ask them (a) how to replace the battery and (b) if it is user-replaceable to update their manual accordingly.

  • Has anyone managed to change the battery in a creative Zen MX

    =i bought a 6gb zen MX? in November 2007 and have used it every day since. The battery is now in a sorry state and doesn't hold a charge for more than about 4 hours. After fully charging it, if you then leave it overnight the battery almost totally depletes. The battery is definitely a goner. Has anyone opened one of these players, changed the battery and then got the thing back together successfully? I've looked around on the net but can't find any info on how i might open the player to insert a new battery. Meanwhile i've bought a new Creative ZenMX but i prefer the old one with its dedicated slider for on/off and lock and it would be great if i could somehow get a new battery into it.
    I still have my old Ceati've Zen Jukeboxes (30gb and 60gb) and i wore a couple of batteries out in those. But all you had to do was open the player and shove in a new battery. Shame that facility no longer exists in Creative's MP3 players.
    Any help on the issue of replacing the battery in an MX would be much appreciated.

    Re: has anyone managed to change the battery in a creative Zen MX%Thanks for the links Bertwin, much appreciated.
    Now i have a problem in obtaining a replacement battery. Back in the day you could phone Creative (in Ireland) and order replacement batteries but alas, no longer. On the net you can easily find replacement batteries for every Creative player.....except for the Zen MX. ? The replacement x-fi battery looks similar? and has the same wire connections but it is 3.7v as opposed to 3.6v in the MX. Also the x-fi battery is rated at? 550mAh while the MX is rated at 0.55AH. (Though i guess that could mean they are the same capacity only it's written differently)
    The Creative part number for the MX battery is BAC0603R79925 and the Creative Model No is : LPC6333445
    If anyone knows where to obtain this battery please post.

  • It should be easier to change the default copyright company in Application Builder

    It should be easier to change the default copyright company in Application Builder.  
    I got the following from NI support to change the name of the company that is copyrighting the software.
    1. To show the desired hidden folder, you must select Tools>> Folder Options >> View >> Under 'Files and Folders'>> 'Hidden files and folders' >> check the 'Show hidden files, folders, or drives' >> Select 'ok'
    2. Navigate to C:\ProgramData
    3. Open ProgramData >> National Instruments >> LVProductDLLInfo >> 12.0.0 >>LabVIEW_ADE_120000.ini   ***Please note that the folder 12.0.0 may instead be 14.1.0 or another numeric value based on which version of LabVIEW you are using***
    4. Change the RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner to the appropriate organization and owner respectively.
    The fix NI support sent me was to change the name of the current software owner.
    The company that owns the software is usually writing the program for another company that is paying to have it developed. If the software owner is not careful they may assign the copyright to their company or to the company that they developed software for last.   I am sure that the company that had software developed will be surprised if their name is not listed as the legal copyright owner.

    I've found it now (sheepishly). It is a parameter defined in Home->Application Builder->Application 693->Application Attributes->Edit Definition. I thought it was using the database nls parameters, but it isnt. So I simply had to change the parameter value from $ to £.
