Light of nano won't turn off - normal??

Hi @ all!
My problem:
While connected to my Computer and also connected to iTunes, my iPod nano doesn't turn off its light as the 2nd gen nano did. It just stays lit on, saying 'Connected' and the 'disconnect from iTunes first' stuff as it should (i hope it should ^^)
Is that normal?
Shouldn't it turn off the light, as it's kinda waste of Electricity and it might have to load the battery longer as its lit all the time.
Also I think that it's not very good for the display to show the same thing with light on for let's say 3 hours.
Could anyone help me? Is it normal that the light stays turned on while connected to iTunes on 3rd gen iPod nanos?
Thanx in advance

It stays on untill you "eject" it. After that you can leave it plugged in and the light will turn off like normal. You can let it charge as is, or you can turn the nano off. Either way it will charge with the light off.

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

Could it be something as simple as the Hold switch got turned on? I would try resetting it.
This will work for Nano's generation 1-5.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6-8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 6th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 8-12 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 7th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home Button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.

PS3 Won't Turn Off Normally - Only Forced Shutdown Works

Hi team, I've had this problem for a few months now and have absolutely no idea how to fix it. If I try to shut down my PS3 by normal means (holding the power button for a couple of seconds or via the controller) it never actually shuts off, the light just continuously blinks green showing a black screen on the TV whilst the fan etc is still working full-pelt. I thought maybe it was syncing data online or something, and have tried leaving it in this state for over 24 hours a couple of times but it never ends. The only way I can shut down my PS3 these days is by holding the power button for 10 seconds (ie a forced shutdown). I really don't want to have to replace the console as this is the only issue with it and it'll take me forever to find and re-download + update all my games again. One big consequence of this problem is that I can't turn PS+ features such as syncing game saves on as my PS3 never turns off after doing so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 60GB PS3 FAT - Ugraded with a 1TB drive (Samsung/Seagate 1TB 2.5 inch 5400RPM SATA II Hard Disk)

Yep, tried all of them apart from 'Restore PS3 System' - in fact, I have a feeling that I did try that option when I first discovered the problem. I get a black screen screen after selecting option 3 and have to do the usual forced shutdown - when I restart the PS3 it says the file system is corrupt and it restores it. Problem still presists. I figured out what the issue is though - I had a hard drive connected via a usb switch, after removing my USB devices one by one I'm pretty confident that's what caused it. Thanks for the advice!

23" ACD with light dot that won't turn off

In the upper left corner (about 1 cm down and right of the blue apple) there is a light dot. It looks like an LED light that is shining through the screen from behind. This isn't a stuck pixel. When I run PiXel Check, the dot shows on red, green, blue, and white displays but not the black display. Putting the display to sleep doesn't help. And even turning off the computer does no good.
Any clues to what the problem may be and possible solutions? Love the ACD otherwise. Thanks!

Hi Clyde,
I'm relieved to see someone with the same problem as me, in my case I have a small light spot on the bottom right hand of the screen. It almost looks as though my power light has started wandering on my screen, but that isn't the case. To my suprise, the light also disappeared on a black background! Did you find any solution to this problem? I'm considering getting it replaced (I'm pretty sure it's still in the 1-year warranty), considering its my monitor for at work... It's not a distraction yet, but it might be better to tackle the problem on time?

HP 655 won't turn on, power light on and won't turn off.

My HP 655 laptop has apparently gone into sleep mode, permanently. It was up, went into sleep mode and now it will not come back up. I have removed the battery and unplugged the power source for an hour. As soon as I plug in the power or battery, the power button lights up but the laptop will not turn on, no matter how long I hold the power button down. I even plugged in the HDMI cord to make sure that it wasn't the screen, obviously, which it wasn't.

Hello ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, try performing a hard reset. Lots of information in this document that could help.When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 7. Windows 8 here.
Here is a Youtube video that might help. It shows you how to reseat the HDD, which sometimes helps.
Thanks.

Ipod Nano won't turn off anymore

Since a view days i can't shut down my ipod anymore. I tried to reset is, used the updater and even used the restore option.
But everytime i turn it off it goes on in about 5 seconds on its own. It only shuts down when the battery is empty.
I hope it's just an software error:(
Greets Marcel.

Hello Marcel,
And welcome to Apple Discussions by the way,
Why isn't there a button for ''this doesn't help me at all''?
Because that would be rude.
Because this wasn't very helpfull since i've read all the help and support stuff from the apple website.
If that is the case, you should have mentioned that in your original post. How would we know what you have and have not tried? We all have to start somewhere when it comes to troubleshooting these kinds of issues.
I think it is a hardware problem since non of the software fixes work.
If you already know what the problem is, you should know what steps to take next. If you have a warranty, take advantage of it now. If not visit your closest Genius bar and have them take a look at or set it up to be serviced, either through Apple or a third party repair company.
Best of luck.

My nano won't turn off..

I've read all the posts and tried all the tricks listed so far and found 0 help. My nano decided it will forever live in the menu stage. I've tried all the troubleshooting ideas and, well, here I am.
Any suggestions?

I too have the same problem... However, I can expand with some observations and some steps that I attempted to take to cure the problem.
After plugging the Nano into my PC to charge it, I noticed that after it was plugged in for about 5 mins, that it looked as if I was plugging the nano in and unplugging it repeatativly. The menu would change from the "Do not disconnect" screen to the normal menu. I attempted to eject the unit, unplug it and remount it but the same thing would happen. This "cycling" was also evident on the PC screen with the USB eject menu cycling too.
Now, here is the really interesting this...
The Nano screen started to display this whenever plugging it into the PC:
"FireWire connections aree not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided" Press Center to Dismiss"
The Nano is plugged in the the USB cable and the cable is plugged into a USB 2.0 connector on the computer. I have been using this Nano for over a month since I got it with this configuration...
Finally, I decided to remove the Nano from the USB cable and attempted to Reset it. This appeared to have made no difference excpet that now when I plug the Nano into the USB cable, I now get the charging icon on the display and the screen will change to a charging screen after the display timeout occurs.
The PC does not recognize the Nano at all so I cannot restore it. I have tried installing the software on another computer but have the same problems...
And, for those of you who might think that the USB cable is bad, think again... I borrowed one from a friend of mine and have the same problem...
I really could use anyones help here...
Thanks...

MY 1st GEN IPOD NANO WON'T TURN OFF IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

It just seems to have a problem recognizing when i'm pushing the play/pause button or if I'm trying to shut it off. It has had water damage is their any way to make it shut off. PLEASE.

Hi, i had the same problem with my 1st gen 4GB nano. I solved it by chosing not to visualize the clock on the ipod display. you can change this option from the ipod prefernces. Apparently visualizing the clock on the display triggers some kind of bug.... Don't ask me why or how, but it worked! good luck:)

I accidentally dropped macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!

I accidentally dropped my friend's macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!
I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
Please help me..

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 - the "attention" light won't turn off

I've tried everything I can think of for weeks but I can't get the "attention" light on my HP Color Laserjet 3550 to turn off. It originally came on when a page on from the manual input tray got stuck maybe 20% of the way in. It was a real easy fix, I pulled the page out and now the "attention" light won't turn off. So I can use the printer at all. I've had this printer about a year. I purchased it used. I've always had the manual feed tray as the default because I use this printer mostly for envelopes and less than 81/2 x11 printing as I have an old workhorse HP 4+ for all my straight 81/2 x 11 printing. I've rebooted. I've unhooked cables and the router. I've opened up the printer and removed the casing (the plastic apparatus on the door) and replaced it. The router is a 2Wire HomePortal 1800HG. I'm just baffled here I've printed so much with the manual feed tray and I've had allot worse things happen that I've had to fix. Now a simple stick like this and the light just wont' go off.

HI Vern,
Where did you bought the printer? may you bought it from a different region than your current one?
What is the exact cartridge number of both the black and the tri-color ink cartridge, as well as their product number?
I bought the printyer in the US and the cartridges also came from the US, probably no the same state. Cartdridge # 97, black # 96. I don't see a product number. This is the same # that was in the printer before and the same one I always used. As soon as I pull it out the light goes out, and on again as soon as I install it. This is before the printer even cycles through it's "new cartdridge" routine, if you know what I mean.
thanks for the reply

My Ipod nano 7th generation turned off and won't turn back on. what should I do?

If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

N95 light won't turn off when slide open

I just find this, in rare occasions the backlight won't turn off and auto keylock not fuction(s/w) when the slide is open, but the phone is too shy to do it again after reboot, this is definitely a bug to me. It is a N95-1 with V21.0.016 f/w.

The light next to my camera won't turn off , how do I get it off ?

The flash for my camera won't turn off and stays on all the time , how do I turn it off?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.
Apple - Batteries
I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,
Nathan
