Incase auto charger causes problems?

I have had a series of "faulty" iPods (iPod--40 GB Click Wheel)--two rebooted after playing 5-10 secs of many songs, the other really locked up so that it didn't respond to the buttons. I have AppleCare, so I am on my 4th iPod.
My 4th iPod which I got in exchange 2 weeks ago at an Apple store, locked up after it was just after I plugged it into my Incase cigarrette lighter car charger. I have noticed that the other problems I have had have happened "just as I am leaving for a long car trip."
Are there any other reports of a car charger causing hardware problems with an iPod? I'm afraid to use mine now.

  • I would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6 plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues.

    i would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues with my phone.

    An alternative is to use a 12v USB power plug and then just use the standard lightning  cable to connect with a length of your choice ( to some degree)
    Same rules apply use a premium manufacturer rather than a cheap no-name from eBay

  • FF 3.6 AND 5 on same Mac, 1 profile - can I uninstall 5 without causing problems running 3.6 or with the profile?

    I upgraded from 3.6.16 to 5, but don't like how 5 handles tabs (auto reloading 'problem loading' tabs when internet connection is reestablished). So I installed 3.6 in a separate folder, e.g. both versions are on this computer. I went back to using 3.6, and let it upgrade to either 3.6.18 or 19 (don't recall which & it's not open right now). I'm having problems with it using too much CPU & Memory, and not sure if that's a difference between 3.6.16 & 3.6.18/19, or if having 5 on the same computer even if closed could be causing the problem.
    Can I uninstall 5 without causing problems with the 3.6 version and the single profile?

    If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
    Hopefully that helps.

    Adobe Premiere Elements 8 "Auto Analyzer" causes Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and 10 to freeze. How is this fixed? Uninstall your software?

    Leo_Do
    Are you running Premiere Elements 8 as the 8.0.1 Update. If not, please do so
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    The automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features of version 8 are major grabbers of system resources.
    The 8.0.1 shuts off the automatic Background Rendering feature. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General and the background
    rendering option there.
    But, you have to shut off the AutoAnalzyer feature yourself in the Elements Organizer part of the program. To do that:
    1. Click on the Organizer tab in the row below the active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer.
    2. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer options and turn them all off.
    3. To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer
    workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    But back to what you actually wrote

    Are you saying, with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 closed, that you are having these freezing problems with the non Adobe programs mentioned OR are you multitasking with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 project open when the freeze occur in these non Adobe programs?
    In the context of an opened or closed Premere Elements program, please check to be sure, when you close Premiere Elements, that the close is reflected in the Task Manager/Processes. When Premiere Elements is closed by you, are you still seeing it displayed in Task Manager/Processes?

  • Philips Auto Charger DLA95543

    what is the charging specs on the iphone 4s and the ipad 2?  I have a the philips DLA 95543/10 auto charger and the specs on it are :
    input       10.5-18v DC       ( I know what this means )
    output     5.0v DC 500mA  ( i know what this means too)
    power     2.5w                    (  this is what i am concerned about )
    everyhting I can find talks about 2.1w.  So is the charger I have going to blow up my iphone and ipad?  the phone gets hot while chaging with it. 
    THanks in advance

    Charging Specs:
    iPhone - 5.0V DC, 1A
    iPad - 5.0V DC, 2.1A
    Watt = Volt*Amp, so 5.0V * 500mA = 2.5W
    Although according to what I've read, 5V DC, 500mA may charge your iPhone (slower than 1A), I would recommend 1A for your iPhone and 2.1A for your iPad.  Also note that I have used an iPad charger (2.1A) to charge my iPhone with no problems.

  • Intermittent forwarding / auto charge

    Hello
    I have a skype landline number and I'm having intermittent issues with it when forwarding to my mobile phone.
    Its hard to know when there is an issue because I only know when a clients contacted me via other means like email and told me the phones not working. Very screy to think how many bookings I might of missed out on.
    After looking into it on a few occasions its been because the auto-charge feature has simply not gone through properlly even though theres obviosuly enough funds available. I can understand occasional bugs at skype's end like this but the fact it DOESN'T email me telling me theres a problem and I should manualy login and make a transfer manually, totallly leaves me in the dark if theres a problem!
    To add to this I've also been told that call has not been forwarded even when there is credit in the account albeit this hasn't happened as often as the above.
    I'm not sure if this is related but I've also had issues with my iphone (5S) app. Sometimes it does ring(over wifi) and sometimes it doesnt. My iPad works all the time over WIFI
    Just getting frustrated with it all now and want a solution.
    Hope you can help, thanks
    J
    I
    Sometimes
    - WIFI - Mobile sometimes doesnt ring (iPad does though)
    - forward call
    - Sometimes auto cahge doesnt work and miss calls
    - sometimes miss calls and its not because auto chrage hasnt work (because theres already money in) and I'm not sure why its not simply just not been forwarded. The worstr thing about this is I'm totally unaware when this happens unless a client contacts me via another method and tells me they had problems getting through. Dread to think how many bookings I've missed out on.
    Great idea of a service but I'm really loosing patience with it now. Can you please look into my account and see whats been going on?

    Yep, I woke up the other day to an email that said my account had been auto recharged because it had dropped below a certain level. I turned it off and I got another email saying that I had been auto charged. I logged into my account and saw that someone had been making calls to Bahrain. I would never call anyone ever in Bahrain. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
    The thing that I can't understand is that Skype, a company that specializes in global communications has no TELEPHONE SUPPORT. That is unbelievable. 
    What can I do?

  • Disable auto charge via usb

    So the question is as that: if it's possible to disable auto charge when plugging iphone to the macbook in order to save the battery.
    Tried everything but couldn't find any solution. Moreover it seems like I was questioned something like "permit to charge iPhone via usb?" when I first plugged it to the Mac, but I'm not sure
    Thanks alot for any help!!

    Ahh, I understand. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a solution to the problem, other than not plugging the iPhone into the laptop while the laptop is unplugged. There are cables you can get that prevent syncing when you plug in while allowing the iPhone to recharge, but I'm not aware of anything that works the other way around. Maybe someone else will have an idea.

  • Firmware Update 1.7 drains battery and causes problems for sound

    I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with a SSD. After installing Firmware 1.7 I saw the beach ball over and over even after rebooting... this problem got resolved after I plugged in power cable and is now gone even when it is running on battery. But the sound of my MBP goes randomly on/off when I plug in/out my headphones and the worst problem is that prior to the 1.7 I got up to 5 hours of battery but now only 2:30 hours. I've only 470 cycles of my battery. Resseting the SMC didn't help and unfortuaneltly there is no way of downgrading the firmware. What should I do?? This is definietly a firmware problem which supposedly was released to solve a rare battery problem on some machines not to cause problems on others.

    I am seeing this problem as well.
    Before the SMC Update 1.7 the battery was fine. After, it hibernated within a half hour of use on battery. Upon wake-up the Service Battery warning is in the battery menu, and the time remaining calculation has gone from several hours at a full charge to less than 10 minutes.
    My battery is original MacBookPro8,2; I rarely work on battery, relying on it mostly to keep my computer going while asleep during a half hour commute to/from work. System Information's Power tab reports
    Cycle Count:          19
    I plan to try a battery calibration soon; if that fails, then the Apple Store.

  • Ipod classic or touch with Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger

    Hey everyone,
    As I am sure with a thousand others, I am thinking about getting one of the new ipods. After reading about the video out problem, which is one of the main reasons I was thinking of upgrading from my 3G(pre video/photo ipod, can't remember which generation) 20 g ipod, I am beginning to doubt my desire. What has become foremost in my mind now, however, is the problem with existing accesories. Does anyone know if either ipods will work with the Kensington fm transmitter/auto charger that I bought last year? I spent $70 on it and after reading about having to buy a universal dock and apple cables to enable video out, this has me concerned.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    greg,
    have an ipod classic and have been using the older kensington fm rds adapter (not the new liquid ones recently announced). it works, but with a caveat. on mine, the on-screen display does not update in real-time as you change the radio station on the transmitter. so, it's tough to scroll to a different channel to find an open frequency because you can't see where you are scrolling to (i count the presses and update the numbers in my head). but, the presets work and if you never (or rarely) need to change the radio station, you should be fine.

  • Over charging (with home or auto charger)?

    This may sound dumb...if so please indulge me. Is it possible to over charge your incredible by always leaving it in the charger, whether its fully charged or not, and cause the charging cord to fray or melt (home charger or auto)?
    I went to the Verizon store today to complain about how often I have to change chargers since I've been with Verizon (over 10 years), from phone to phone.  When they looked at my current auto charger I presented, they noticed it looked to be partially melted.  Logically, I went home and reluctantly checked my fuses in my car...none are blown (I have a 2008 vehicle so I didn't suspect a blown fuse).  So now I thought about the common denominator and that is...my charging habits may be poor.  I come home and immediately plug in my phone (without paying attention to the batter life).  When I leave the house and get into to car, the phone goes on the auto charger.  The point, the phone is only off the charger when I am away from my car or house.  
    Could my charging habits be ruining my charger's life prematurely?  I purchased a new charger but am making this inquiry before connecting it....
    Too charged,

    It's a bad idea to have your phone on any charger on a continuous basis. Yes, it will make your battery really hot, and I imagine hot enough to melt cord. I suggest that you plug your phone onto a charger when it is down to 20-30 percent and unhook it when it becomes completely charged. Some people will charge their phone at night when they are sleeping, personally, I think that's a poor idea.

  • Hi i would like to know  is it posible the fake chines charger to damage my iphone i lost my charger and i used a fake chines made charger  sinc i conected to that charger  my iphone heated and never work again like  know is that the charger cause damage

    hi please hellp i lost my charger  and i used a fake chines charger sinc i conected my iphone to that chines made charger my iphone now does not charge or switch on is that the case of that charger cause all that damage it heated up  a lot please help thank you

    went through a couple iphones in two weeks (no joke) had to keep returning to the apple store which is an hour and a half away from my hometown (parents weren't too happy with the amount they spent on petrol!!) first of all i got a replacement iphone because the one i had wasnt playing music, just before my iphone started playing up i had purchased a fake charger online after losing my genuine one, the fake one looked genuine enough. So i proceeded to use the fake charger once i had my replacement to find my replacement iphone wasnt holding charge and turning off itself etc. (after being charged using the fake charger) i returned the replacement iphone and the apple support man at genius desk suggested it could be the charger (i didnt think this could be possible, a charger causing so much trouble) so i blamed apple. got another replacement and i decided to purchase a genuine apple charger (just put of curiousity) iphone is now working fine, keeping battery had no problems. therefore i believe fake chargers may be appealing to buy (as the cost is cheap) but purchasing a genuine one is a small price to pay considering all the trouble i went through!

  • Null values from DB2 cause problems

    Hi,
    I have another problem with database link to DB2 using IBM iSeries Access for Linux on 64 bit OEL5 with Oracle Database gateway and unixODBC 2.2.14.
    DB link works. However, null values from DB2 cause problems. Date columns that are null on db2 return a date '30.11.0002', and character columns that are null return an error ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error.
    isql returns correct results.
    How can i fix this? Perhaps set some parameters for data conversion on the gateway?
    Thank you.

    If the driver is not fully ODBC level 3 compliant and misses functions, we're lost. But sometimes the drivers are ODBC level 3 compliant but miss the correct 64bit implementation. In those cases we can tell the gateway to use the 32bit ODBC level 3 standard by setting in the gateway init file:
    HS_FDS_SQLLEN_INTERPRETATION=32

  • I want to uninstall ReloadEvery as I think it is causing problems however it is not in my list of Extensions or Plugins yet it is clearly installed, I tried reinstalling FF but it was still there! How can I get rid of it?

    I installed ReloadEvery a while ago and it seemed to be working fine however I am now having problems with FF crashing and weird things like pages not reloading and not being able to use the back button etc
    I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF and upgrading to FF 4.
    When I upgraded to FF 4 I was still having problems even though I didn't have any Extensions installed at all, or so I thought. I noticed that ReloadEvery was still installed. I was rather puzzled as I had done a clean install of FF 4. I want to remove ReloadEvery to see if it will solve my problems.
    I have also tried following the help on the FF Troubleshooting about manually uninstalling Extensions but again ReloadEvery not listed there yet I am still able to use it in FF!
    I want to get rid of it!! I really need some help please.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.
