HT1476 I've blown out 4 charging "cubes". What's up with this?

The little white cube that plugs into the wall keeps frying out. I've lost 4 so far. I really don't want to continue purchasing these things.

If they are failing without abuse they are covered by warranty. But if they keep failing, have you tried different outlets? Have you had the line power checked by an electrician to see if there is a surge problem occurring?
For so many to fail it sounds like a power problem.

I can't figure out what's wrong with this code

First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
One two buckle your shoe
Three four shut the door
Five six pick up sticks
Seven eight lay them straight
Nine ten this is the end.
The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
public class PoemSeventeen
public static void main(String[] args)
EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
int n = console.readInt();
if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
else if (n = 0)
System.out.println("You may exit now");
else
System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one.

My iPod 5 turn off when I was listening to music this morning and it was full charge idk what's wrong with it because it won't turn on plus it is a new iPod. I bought the iPod 35 days ago I even have the recieve..

I Need to know what's wrong with my iPod 5. it turn itself off this morning when I was listening to music. The iPod is new I bought it 35 days I even have the receive to prove that is 100% mine and not stolen.. Please help me I work really hard to save the money for it and now I can use it is not fair.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone will not turn on or charge? What is wrong with it?

My Iphone will not turn on and it doesnt show the battery charging, what is wrong with it?

Try doing a hard reset by holding down the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake Button. This should either get the iPhone started back up or show you a battery icon. If you see the battery icon, go ahead and charge for about 20 minutes and it should be up and running.
If neither of the two happens; you may need a replacement iPhone.

Whenever I connect my iPod touch 5th generation to the charger and turn it on, my touch sensor seems to stop working so I cant unlock my iPod without having to take out the charger. Whats wrong with it?

I got this iPod about 3 weeks ago. Whenever I connect my iPod to the charger the touch sensor seems to stop working. When my alarm goes off in the mornings i have to unplug the charger to stop the alarm. I cant do anything while the charger is connected. Any ideas what the problem is or how I can stop this happening?

A few other users have report the same but I have not heard of a solution. Y can try:
- Another cable
- Another USB port
- A wall charger
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The folks at the Genius Bar are very good at Power and other Physical problems like this. Your appointment for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out.
Be sure to bring all the equipment you normally use together -- MacBook, Power Adapter, and external drives and mice, if any.

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

HT5457 New app upgrades put 1st gen Ipad users out in the cold - Recently DirecTV and The Blaze both upgraded their ipad apps so that only ios 6 and above were compatible - anyone who has a 1st gen ipad cannot upgrade to ios 6 - what is up with this Appl

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.

Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.
Beyond that, if you wish to express yourself directly to Apple, http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is just a user to user forum, so there's nothing anyone here can do for you I'm afraid.

I just upgraded from PE 7 to PE 12. Most of my editing options are grayed out. What's up with this?

Why are most of my editing options grayed out in PE 12? I am a painter and I need to crop and edit my paintings. Specifically, I need to distort them to bring them back into square. I know that has a technical name but don't know it.

What a weird thing that I had to be in "expert" mode. I'll never know why software manufacturers need to make things more complicated.
Thanks!

My IPOD will not charge and when I plug it into computer, the cord gets extremely hot but no charge, what is wrong with this thing?

My IPOD will not charge, I have tried the docking station nothing, I tried plugging into the computer and nothing but the cord got extremely hot. I need my IPOD, any suggestions.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Take it to the nearest Apple Store.

Help with figuring out what to use with this program

I have the code all written. I was given instruction.(number should contain the number of digits as there are eligible characters in word or 7, whichever is less. If number ends up containing more than 3 digits then a hyphen ( - ) should be placed between the third and fourth digits.)
I cant figure out if i use a if and else statement or some other and also how to get the program to print out just the normal 7 digits in a number and forget about the rest if entered.

Ipad mini is not charging anymore, what is wrong with it?

i tried plugging in my ipad mini, and it doesn't charge anymore, i tried plugging it in the wall i got nothing and also my computer. Could there be something wrong with the cord?

Most computer USB ports do not prove enough power to charge your iPad efficiently so don't bother with that.
Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the iPad does not charge the problem lies in one of these areas:
1. The outlet is not supplying power
2. The cord is not plugged in correctly at one or both ends.
3. The cord is defective. You might try a friends cord to see if that makes a difference.
4. The charger is defective. Try borrowing one from a friend to test that.
5. The plug on your iPad has dirt or debris in it.
6. There is a hardware failure in your iPad.
For any of these items you cannot test yourself I suggest making an appointment at an Apple store to have your iPad, cable and charger looked at.
