Nano: Only works when directly connected to USB despite being FULLY charged

Hello all! This is my first topic/thread so I'm unsure if this is the correct spot to post this so please let me know. My issue concerns my Nano 8GB inability to play once fully disconnected from the USB/computer. This past week i noticed after having added some music that my battery indicator was on empty even after being charged for hours; i've never had charging problems with my unit before so I decide to reconnect it and let it charge overnight but to no avail. Once i remove the ipod from the computer the upper righ hand batt indicator was still showing empty; one day though the batt indicator actually had some life showing a sliver of "red" as to let me know there was some charge but a very low one so i decided on reconnecting it for another evening. Keep in mnd that despite the indicator showing empty i was able to play music/movies for a few days straight with no problems leading me to believe that its charging system was fine but that some type of glitch or software error was to blame for the indicator showing nothing.
But suddenly while listening to music the next day the ipod stopped playing and showed me a warning screen "Connect To Power" via a yellow triangle exclamation symbol right next to the BIG BATTERY symbol u get in the middle of the screen, and then shut itself off. From this point on my Ipod has not regained its ability to play independently and is confined to being connected via USB @ all times if I want to enjoy any of its content. Basically it can't run on its own anymore, however when i plug it back to the USB all my music/movies are accesible through iTunes and play w/out problems. Even when I hit "safely remove hardware" and the ipod ends synchronizing with the computer but is still hooked up to the port it will work in my hand normally without issues as it always has. It even shows me the little battery indicator on the upper right side fully green w/ the usb symbol in the middle recognizing its still hooked up to the USB port while I listen to my media; but IT MUST BE CONNECTED via USB cable for it to do anything at all once its removed all bets are off and my ipod won't work.
Also you know how after one "safely remove drive E" your Ipod basically SNOOZES if connected but not in use, well the screen that pops up is the Battery Life Screen where the BIG BATTERY symbol I saw in the WARNING Screen tells u how much u got left. Well guess what mine says whenever plugged into the USB port: CHARGED with the indicator nice and full of GREEN. But again once i remove that USB cable the ipod goes black, tells me I need to "connect to Power" and won't turn on or play music or even let me reset it; its like my Ipod has become a Phetus being kept alive by its Umbilical Cord.
I don't know if I've explained myself clearly but honestly i've been trying to read up on this type of issue EVERYWHERE but I can't seem to find any other cases like this one. I mean if its the battery wouldn't the ipod be completely unable to work even while its plugged in to the computer? This is very bizarre
an seek all the help & expertise u guys have to offer. If theres something you don't quite get please let me know and i'll try to break it down further. Thanks and i anxiously await your responses...
RECAP
Nano small battery indicator showed it was empty despite being fully charged
Nano won't work unless plugged in via USB cable
Will work perfectly through Itunes and independently but must be plugged in
Battery Indicator Screen says battery fully charged
Once unplugged Warning Screen pops up automatically, stating "Connect To Power"
which shuts off the ipod.

Yes, once I 'safely remove from drive' the ipod works normally I can listen to my media, change settings and even reset it by pressing MENU+center button. During resetting it goes straight onto the screen showing the Apple logo and then retuns back to automatically synchronizing with the computer (since its still plugged in to the usb port) and i can go into itunes and play my media via laptop. What type of servicing are you referring to? Should I try buying a new battery or sending it to apple so they can figure it out?
Two things which happened yesterday which were sorta demoralizing:
1 After unplugging my ipod from USBport the screen would automatically go black, right after I would hit the PLAY button and would get the "Connect To Power" Warning screen but under very Low Backlight before shutting itself down again. You could hardly see it, but now it doesn't pop up at all or give me any type of warning just a BLACK screen, so the only way of getting the unit to do anything is via usb connection.
2. Also the day before I had fooled my ipod into being connected to the usb even though I was pulling the usb cable very slowly from underneath its adapter; sorta letting it touch the adapter but not really hooked up to it. Well I managed to get the cable off and my Ipod to work for less than 10 seconds but I was able to scroll down the Main and Playlist menus without any lag or lack of Backlight before it went out. I tried it once more and it didn't work plus I don;t see what the benefits of doing so would be @ this point. But having said that does anyone think it could be a simple battery issue or is this harddrive related? Again the Ipod only work swhen connected to my usb & tells me its fully charged, but once unplugged it goes completely blank...

Sorry, cchaikittiporn. Paragon does not seem to be a solution for your issue.

PSE 9 Organizer & external hard disk

Can the PSE 9 Organizer handle external hard disks, DVDs, etc. that are not always online? By the way, I searched and I couldn't find this specific question asked before.
I use a laptop pc and only keep about 1 year's photos on it. I have a couple of external hard disks that keep a backup of the current photos on my laptop plus all my old photos going back many years. The external hard disks are usually not connected to my laptop, but I would like to be able to see thumbnails, search, etc. for all my photos and then if I want to open the actual photo and it is on an external disk I would like the Organizer to either give me an error that says the disk isn't connected or prompt me to connect it or something. This is the same issue you would have if your photos are backed up to multiple DVDs.
Can the PSE 9 Organizer do this? If not, what does it do if a disk isn't connected? Thanks!

99jon, thanks! That is very helpful and that link you provided gave some good info. That answers part of my question. The other part is about the fact that I have all my photos backed up to 2 external hard disk with only about a year of the most recent photos also on my laptop hard disk. The photo folders look like this on all 3 disks:
laptop hard disk, drive letter C:
p-2010-12
p-2010-11
p-2010-10
p-2009-12
external hard disk 1, drive letter X:
p-2010-12
p-2010-11
p-2010-10
p-2001-06
external hard disk 2, drive letter Y:
p-2010-12
p-2010-11
p-2010-10
p-2001-06
I assume that in the beginning I would have to connect drive X and then tell the Organizer to import all the photos on drive C and drive X. What will the Organizer do when it sees the duplicate folders (p-2010-12, etc.) on the 2 hard disks? Will it recognize the ones on X as being just backups of the ones on C? Of course, over time there will be new folders created (p-2011-01, etc.) and they will get backed up to X and Y. Also, over time some of the older folders on C will be deleted (p-2009-01, etc.). When X is not connected will the Organizer show that the photos on both C and X are available, but the ones only on X are not available until I reconnect X? Okay, then when we add disk Y into the mix how will that work? For example, if instead of connecting X I connect Y which has the same folders on it as X will Organizer recognize those folders and photos and let me access them as if it was X?
Thank you!

Cant write/edit data on my external hard disk! Help please!~~

Okay guys, currently, i'm using Tiger version 10.4.11. My problem is that i cant edit data or write data to any external hard disks, like the maxtor One Touch and so on. Only thing i can do is to extract the data from the disks. I have tried to write on multiple hard disks but in all my attempts i have failed. i've tried to edit my network settings, but no results.
So, i seek help from anyone out here!

Hello, yea.. thanks man =)
Basically, its a shared hard disk between my macbook and a windows PC. So i kinda use the PC to write all my backups and data on the hard disk.
I have quite a few hard disk and they all have the same issue. It says 'The item 'file x'cannot be moved because 'my hard disk' cannot be modified.'I've used the software provided from the hard disk manufacturer, Maxtor/Seagate, to reformat the brand new portable hard disk which i bought yesterday.
Its connected via USB, same as all the other ones i have.
eh. the get info for it says

erm... its a portable drive which i carry around, so i guess its not a network drive? and how doi determine the network settings? Sorry man.. not really good at these =x

Share external hard disk

Dear All,
I have an external hard disk on my Mac Server OS X 10.3.9 it is shared drive in the office. I have another external disk I want to share that too.
Can anyone tell me please, how can I share it?
I tried to find the setting the first drive I couldn't find it on the server. When I plug-in the second external hard disk it comes on desktop When I click on "Get Info" there is no share check box. I did google it but couldn't find an article related that problem.
Thanks in advance
Tiger07

I tried to find the setting the first drive I couldn't find it on the server. When I plug-in the second external hard disk it comes on desktop When I click on "Get Info" there is no share check box.
When you are running Mac OS X Server, the Sharing Checkbox (on the Server) is not available.
Drives and Folders must be explicitly Shared using Server Admin, in
/Applications > Server > Server Admin.app
The "Mac OS X Server: Server Administration" document should be available on your DVD, and is also available from the Apple Web site.
There are forums specifically for Mac OS X Server. The one you should post your query in is here:
Discussions: Mac OS X Server: Mac OS X Server v10.4 and earlier
For Readers using 10.5 Server and later: Different options become available in Server 10.5 and later. For a Standard or WorkGroup setup, you use the Server Preferences application (found in /Applications > Server > Server Preferences) Details of how to share a Folder or a whole drive appear in the "Mac OS X Server: Getting Started" DVD-sized booklet packed inside the Server DVD box.

Does 24/7 operation shorten hard disk life - or not?

Does 24/7 operation shorten (external) hard disk life - or not?

Does 24/7 operation shorten (external) hard disk life
- or not?
That's a question that has been asked over the years so many times that by now you'd expect there to be a consensus on the right answer - but of course there isn't.
The answer comes down to whether or not the wear rate on the bearing is higher with steady-state constant running with continuous thrust forces and temperature, or with the varying thermal and pressure loading caused by spin up/spin down cycles. So much depends on small differences in materials and tolerances that it would probably be impossible to give an answer that is right for all drives in all situations.
What can be said is that in a purely theoretical sense, a bearing and thrust face capable of carrying the load of full speed, steady-state operation, will wear slower than the same bearing and thrust face subjected to varying loads and temperatures - conditions where not only is wear much higher, but patterns of wear more likely to cause the bearing to fail. But how these two conditions relate to each other is as much about the operating temperature in steady-state, the tolerance of the bearing/thrust face and the number of spin down/up cycles the drive would go through in what period of time.
I've got several system that run 24/7, including two PPC minis, both with Seagate drives. The older one is 26 months old and running perfectly. I've also got a G4 powermac with 3 internals which runs 24/7 and has done since it was new in late 1999. The original drive failed in 2001 and the replacement, along with the two others, has run constantly since with no problems. The original was a Quantum, the replacement was a Maxtor and the other two are Seagate. On my experience I'd say that constant running hasn't caused any sign of distress on these systems.
It has generally been my view that with competently designed components and systems, continuous steady state operation should result in lower mechanical wear and less risk of thermal stressing. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that the higher internal temperatures in the mini may render that a little more marginal than for larger systems, but that shouldn't impact on external drives unless poorly manufactured. I would also say that since laptops in general have no significant history of drive failures despite their far higher temperatures, there's more chance that you're the victim of bad luck that poor choice of operating regime!

How to back up a external hard disk to time capsule?

I have a external hard disk (WD passport Mac OS extended format) connected to iMAC (OS X 10.9.3) through USB. How can I back up the hard disk to my time capsule (802.11ac 2TB)?

By default, the name of the hard drive will appear on the list of Excluded items when you open System Preferences / Time Machine / Options.
Click on the name of the hard drive to highlight it, and then click on the - (minus) button at the bottom of the Exclusions list to remove the drive from the list of items that are Excluded on backups.
Time Machine will back up both your Mac and the hard drive on the next pass.

External hard-disk not working with firewire under Snow Leopard

Hi. I have a LaCie d2 external hard-disk that has Firewire 800, 400 and usb2. I previously used it on my old (angle-poise) iMac connecting using the Firewire 400 socket. I've just a got a new mac with Snow Leopard and I thought it would we best to connect to the LaCie with Firewire 800. However when I do this, the disc mounts ok, but browsing in the Finder is really slow and copying files from the disk to the imac seems to work at a really slow rate (less than USB1 speed) if at all ! However, I switched to using the USB2 connection instead and it works like a dream. What gives ? Is Firewire in Snow Leopard buggy ??

There's no problem with the drive.
Maybe true, and the drive would probably work fine with Leopard. One thing that's obvious is that Apple did make changes in the way that FireWire works in Snow Leopard. Many drives and drive manufacturers work well with SL, but there have also been reports of firmware issues by Western Digital and other companies.
Have you checked with your vendor to see if they are offering a firmware update for your drive?
BTW, I got a new FW case a few months ago while at a Fry's electronic store. The brand new USB2 and FW400 cables worked fine. The FW800 cable did not, but another cable came to the rescue. Just saying...

My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate hard disk

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

•I have just bought a Toshiba external hard disk to back up all my work from my macbook and its not working! I have checked the hard disk

•I have just bought a Toshiba external hard disk to back up all my work from my macbook and its not working! I have checked the hard disk

its not working: (sorry for being so ambiguous), the computer recognises it, it comes up on my desktop, when i open it and try and drag a file across, it is unable to go into the drive, there is just a symbol indicating 'no' (i've read the instructions from Tosheba and there is no help). I have not partitioned the drive using the GUID partition scheme - i dont know what this means?!

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

My external hard disk ( TRANSCEND ) is not working when i connect to usb..before it was working..
