Nano always displaying charge indicator even when not plugged in!

Following a recent charge, the nano is permantently displaying the charging indicator whether I have it plugged in or not. This means that even when disconnected and switched off, it shows the symbol and runs down the battery - meaning I have to keep it charging all the time when not in use!
I have had the nano working fine for several months - strange that it's started doing this...
Anyone else had this problem?

mine has started to do the same thing. I have reset the nano 3 times. When I turn it off the "charged battery" icon stays on though the light is off. I plugged it in to the computer and had to reset for the computer to find. After leaving it plugged in for a few hours I unplugged and tried again. Still says "charged" all the time.
I could try a hard reset...., but has any one else experienced this?

Damaged magsafe charger still working (light glows even when not plugged into MBP) - safe to use?

Hello,
This is going to sound ridiculous but i accidentally let the end of magsafe 85w charge fall into a bowl with some melted ice cream left in it..... i didn't notice at first until i saw it lying with the charging light glowing despite not being connected to the macbook. i turned it off at the mains and cleaned it out as best i could with a q-tip and a toothbrush to try and get away any excess - there still appears to be some balck residue around the pins, im not sure if this is from the ice cream, or something to do with the electronics being fried in some way.
Anyway, apart from an occasion when i was cleaning it and there was a small spark and a very small stream of smoke (almost unnoticeable) as I initially forgot to unplug it from the mains , it seems to be working somewhat normally again. it charges my macbook and the light turns off when its disconnected but it changes from orange to green randomly sometimes when it is connected.
My main question is, is this dangerous to my macbook to use in this state and if so how? i intend to replace it eventually regardless but at the moment i cant afford to pay the steep £65 price tag for a new charger.
i understand that the charger may eventually stop working but i dont want it to short out my macbook or something - apologies if any of the steps taken above seem idiotic, i really dont know what im doing in the area of fried electronics.....
thanks for any help.

So long as the charger is NOT connected to a AC wall outlet, soaking it in penetrating oil will not harm it.

Some do come in that configuration but I doubt that you can use the 'pressure' to your advantage. The objective is to get the liquid behind the pins and I think you can only do that by soaking it in a container that is well sealed. The liquid otherwise will evaporate quickly.
Understand that this is what I would try to do if I were well up the Amazon River with no other alternative. A new charger guarantees that it will work. This may not.
Ciao.

Power source: Power Adapter even when not plugged in

My 13" Macbook (Late 2008 Version) says that the power source is the power adapter even when it is not plugged in. Because of this it will not switch to the energy saver options for when it is running off of the batter as opposed to being plugged in. Why is it doing this? I have tried resetting the SMC and that has not worked.

I plugged it in to the computer and had to reset for the computer to find. After leaving it plugged in for a few hours I unplugged and tried again. Still says "charged" all the time.

Ipod stuck on Connected and hold even when not plugged in

I've only had my ipod around 2 months, so i don't see why this is happening, but it seems even though i've tried to disconnect and eject my ipod many times (won't even appear as connected on itunes now) it's stuck on connected and on hold.
The light also won't turn off.
Tried holding the menu and play buttons at the same time to reset it. Nothing seems to work.
Do i just wait for the battery to run out by itself and then hope the best?
Any advice is highly appreciated.

Mine just did the same thing,try holding the center and the menu buttons at the same time it worked for mine.

Is it normal for someone to have general diffuculty charging an ipad? I see the "not charging" message even when I am using the charger and cord that came in the original box, plugged into a wall socket directly. It is normal for me to plug it in overnight and to see no charge whatsoever the next day. I have never had so much trouble using a friggin charger in my life. It just seems to be exceedingly finicky. What am I missing?

Charging your iPad should not be problematic. It should be an easy thing to do using the charger provided with your iPad connected to a known good wall outlet.
The charging problem you are experiencing is most like caused by:
1. A faulty charger
2. A faulty cable
3. A bad wall outlet
4. A problem in the iPad.
The first three of these are easiest to eliminate. Try a for ends charger and cable. Make absolutely sure your outlet is good. Try other outlets.
If the charger, cable and outlet a proven to be good then the problem lies in the iPad.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Then plug it in and let it fully charge.

You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.

Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in?

Nano plays music out loud even when ear buds are plugged in? its like the external speaker is always on, i cannot figure out how to turn it off....HELP SOMEONE

You don't have to shout - typing in caps.
The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
 If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

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.

I'm trying to install a samsung series 7 750 monitor for use with my mini mac. When I plug the computer to the monitor I get a blank screen, no picture. When not plugged in to the computer the screen is black and a square displAys that says analog, HDMI 1, HDMI 2. Any ideas?

Hey there saraszeg,
It sounds like you are trying to use an external monitor with your Mac Mini but cannot get more than a gray screen. You can use the following steps to help troubleshoot the Mac side of things here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
