IPod switches off when the light goes off.

When I play music in the car on my Nano, I switch it on, using shuffle. After 40 seconds or so the light of the Nano goes off and the music switches off. I restart it sometimes 8 or 9 times. Suddenly it continues to play, also for a 3 hour drive and doesn't switch off again.
I can find no explanation for this. Any ideas?

Hi Jackie 1,
Since I'm not sure which iPod nano you have, you might want to start here:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
which has a link to more specific help at:
iPod Support
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
Selecting the iPod nano (7th generation) for example, then the troubleshooting section shows this article:
iPod nano (6th generation): Music stops when display turns off
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3700
Verify that you have firmly connected the headphones to the headphone jack on your iPod nano. The cable should be flush against the iPod with no visible gap.
Hope that works for you,
Nubz

What happens when the light goes off on an express airport router?

I was on the internet using a wireless connection with an express airport and suddenly I heard a sound and the light on the router went competelly off. I would like to know what happened. I unplugged the airport and plugged in again on another outlet but nothing happens. The airport has about 3 or 3.5 years.

It's not possible to know exactly what happened within the AirPort Express unless you carefully saw the case open along the seams to examine the internal components.
It's likely that something in the power supply section has failed since the device will not power up. Repairs...if possible.....would likely cost more than the cost of a replacment Express, but if you are handy with small electronics repairs, you could poke around a bit to take a look for something obvious.

TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs. Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2. It has a fix for black screen problems.

Does this happen still when you use another set of headphones? Have you check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris? If so, the jack may be faulty or damaged meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.

New iPhone 4 doesn't always sound or vibrate when the alarm goes off

I use the alarm every morning. This morning, when I woke up two hours late, I looked at my iPhone and saw that the screen showed that the alarm was going off. But there was zero sound or vibration being produced which is what it usually does.
I immediately went into a game app that I know produces sound to make sure nothing was wrong with the speakers and it was fine.
This is the second time this has happened in two weeks. The first time was with a recurring alarm. This morning was with a one-time only alarm.
Anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

STILL NOT **&&!*** WORKING, APPLE.
how hard can this be?
"It just works!" No. It doesn't.

After my Macbook has been on for a little, the light goes out on the screen. When I start to close the screen the light comes back on. I can hold it in this position and keep typing/reading indefinitely.any idea what is the problem?

After my Macbook has been in use for a little while, the light goes off on the screen as if the computer is off. Then, as I start to close the screen, it comes back on fully. If I push it back open it cuts off again. So, I just leave it part way open and turn the laptop at an angle so that I can continue to see the screen & type. It acts like there is a short. Any idea what the problem is?

It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

As soon as I keep the iPhone (iPhone 5) on the desk the network goes off and when I swipe it then only it starts searching for the network and get it in 30 seconds. If someone is calling me during that time it says mobile is either switched off or outsid

You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

When I shut my lid the backlight goes off like it is supposed to, but comes back on after a while. It never used to do this, how can I fix it?

This problem is a recent one (only has happened in the past 2-3 weeks). When I shut the lid it used to immediately sleep (the power light began to do its fade in and out, and the backlight turned off), but now when I close the lid, the power light stays on, the backlight goes off for a few seconds before coming on again (not sleeping properly?). Then the backlight will turn itself off again and the computer sleeps like it is supposed to. Is something wrong here and how can I fix it?
Thanks

I think its the same in 10.5 as in 10.6 (the example below). Do System Preferences > Keyboard. Looks like this:
UNCHECK the box that reads, "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys," or hold the Fn key to use F11 and F12 for volume control. It looks like you have to own an Apple aluminum keyboard to get a function key on a desktop computer.

Why does the music go off when the screen light is off?

Why does the music go off when the sceen light goes off

This is usually an indication that your headphones/earbuds are not plugged all the way in. Double check the connection and make sure that no metal from the jack is showing.

TS3048 Even after installing new batteries and switching it on my magic mouse does not work. Sometimes it works but switches off (indicator light goes off) on its own after a few minutes.

Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. Try making the device a favorite .

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
