Newbie battery trouble

recvd 2g ipod from wife last year for xmas.
initially plugged into usb port and charged it overnight.
gave to my friend to download all his music into my ipod.
Success!! Ipod then sat for a few months and now the battery wont charge. When I plug it into the usb, the status show green lightning for a few seconds, then changes to 1 red bar. and upon disconnect, it immediately says no batt power. left it on charge for over 10 hrs, no change, reboot, no change, another laptop usb, no change.
Please help if you can,, Thank you, Joe

Make sure your USB is connected to a 2.0 (usually in the back) connector. If you try to charge with a 1.0, there isn't enough power. Also in iTunes, make sure your iPod is set to run as a disk drive.

  • Can anyone help - battery trouble!

    Hey I was wondering if anyone can help me. My ipod is 2 years old now and even from the start the battery life has never been that good. having recently having to reset the whole thing i have had even more trouble with the batter life. I plug it into the wall then it says it is fully charged after a couple of minutes (it used to take hours before) and then now after charging in such a short time says the battery is full and im getting enough power for only three songs. can i reset the battery or do something else to help!?

    Might be time for battery replacement though. Google "iPod batteries" for cheaper options than Apple.

  • Confusing battery trouble after water spill.  Not quite sure what the problem is but would rather not have to pay for diagnosis.

    Hello there!
    So a few weeks ago now I made a schoolboy error and spilt a small amount of water over my 2009 macbook pro while it was closed.  It wouldn't wake up when I opened it so I decided to try and open it up, although it took me forever to find a screwdriver small enough to get the back off.  When I finally managed to take a look, there was a small amount of moisture on the battery.  I left it to dry for a day or so, although probably not as long as I should have done and then when I tried to boot it up again it worked!
    However!
    Since its been working again, the battery has permenantly said that it's 'not charging' although often it does seem to charge in spite of this.  I had thought / hoped that this might be fixable simply by replacing the battery, but I dont want to spend a load of money on a battery, should there be more to the problem than this.  Also I have noticed that the battery says 'replace soon', rather than 'replace now' which makes me wonder if the problem could in fact be something do with the logic board instead. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do next?  Of course I would like to be able to fix it and have a normal working battery again, but failing that, some insight as to where the problem might lie would be extremely helpful.
    Here is all the battery info, which doesnt really mean much to me, but may be of some use.  Many thanks to anyone who helps!

    Do you know how easy it would be to just take the battery out......
    That depends on your MacBook Pro variant, which we don't yet know (don't know your OSX version either). Different variants and screen sizes have different battery specs. If you need to find out your model before replying, you can enter your serial number in this Apple web page:
    Check Service & Support Coverage
    And it will translate to a model. If that doesn't work (I'm having to give options here because I don;t know your OS version):
    1) For Mac OSX 10.7 "Lion" and later, do "About this Mac" and, in the resulting window, press the "More Info..." button to get this:
    The red arrow I added indicates your model and screen size.
    2) For Mac OS 10.4 through 10.6, do the same except the "More Info..." button will bring up this screen:
    Again my red arrow poiints to pertinent data. Please post that code BUT not any serial numbers. With these OS versions you need to provide the screen size separately, either 13, 15 or 17 inch.
    Once you've gone to this trouble it is a very good idea to add it to your equipment line in your forum profile so helpers don't ahve to go through this again for future questions. See my equip line below for an example of enough info to get fast help.

  • MacBook Pro Battery Trouble

    I now have the third battery in my 17" Pro and it is having the same trouble as the first two; the battery bows up and expands rendering it useless. My extended warranty ran out in September but I'm really mad. This is obviously a KNOWN problem, according to the tech, so why do the customers have to pay for a crummy Sony battery AGAIN????

    All batteries have a limited life span.  This is determined largely by  the amount of use it has had and how it been maintained.  If you use your MBP predominantly under battery power, it chronological life will be decreased than if you used the power adapter.
    If your MBP has a user replaceable battery (reading between the lines) it seems that you are averaging a bit more than one and one half years plus for each battery.  With heavy battery use, that maynot be out of line.  If it is a built in one, then I suspect you have a valid argument.
    I can't comment on what the 'tech' said to you because I was not privy to the conversation, but if you go to FINDER>HELP> MAC HELP enter 'battery' in the entry field you will find many useful suggestions for lengthening battery life.
    Ciao.

  • Ipod mini battery trouble

    Hello, I purchased my son a mini ipod and although i am not 100% positive which generation it is i do know that it is either a generation 1 or 2. My son was listening to the ipod in bed one night then it froze on the song, on the screen it showed the song and the artist.
    My son is tellin me 2 different stories either he droped it or it suddenly froze.
    I have changed the battery myself through instructios i found on the internet, everything went fine. All that the screen shows now is an apple symbol even when i put it in the wall to charge, A battery symbol appeared for about 10 seconds then it went back to the apple symbol this was before i plugged it into the wall.
    Is there anyway i can fix it or do i have to restore it or is my apple ipod mini stuffed!!
    Any help would be most appreciated..
    Thank You
    dell   Windows XP  

    sounds like your ipod mini is dead i wouldn't of tried to change the battery yourself i would have gone to the local
    apple macintosh retailer or repair shop it would have then cost you only $79.99 to have someone replace the battery
    and it being done by a trained professional instead it is going to cost you 300.00 for a ipod now so have fun

  • Newbie having trouble creating a Slideshow with the Animation Panel.

    I know it's a much more complicated/advanced way to create a slideshow. But, I know it can be done.
    I will explain exactly what I do, the steps that I take. In my own newbie opinion, I think I'm just missing a step somewhere. Maybe I'm missing two or three steps. Hopefully somebody will be able to help me.
    Thank you in advance, if you do help.
    1.I open the program Adobe Bridge
    2. Then I select all images in a folder, then I utilize the review mode & deselect the photos I do not want to use.
    3. Then I open the selected images into Photoshop. (If you haven't already figured it out, I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended)
    4. I clicked on Windows menu >arrange >Tile. That way all of my images are right there & ready for utilization. (At this point, none of the images have been  clicked on yet.)
    5. Then I open the animation panel & create a white blank background for the first frame.
    Here is where I run into the problem. I know how to add extra frames, that's easy enough.
    I also know that when I add the extra frame, it makes a duplicate of the previous frame.
    My problem is trying to get that extra frame to reflect the next image I would like to display in this little slideshow and so on and so forth for the next, maybe 20 images.
    Then what I would like to do is randomize the transitions with things like dissolve, honeycomb, fade in & fade out. With other options if there are any.
    I would like to create a fancy slideshow is all.
    I have read all of the help manuals, all 600+ pages. This is how far I got. I even did a search in the Adobe community. Even those articles don't quite tell you how to do this. So, I probably could have done a lot more homework. But. I'm starting to get frustrated with it.
    Hopefully someone here will be able to help me with this. Thank you Obi-Wan Kenobi in advance. :-)

    Thank You Thank You Thank You JJ Mack!
    That was exactly what I was looking for & it worked perfectly. :-)
    I have one more question if you would be so kind to help me with.
    I was wondering if there was a way to add transitions, i.e. dissolve, fading in & fading out, split, reveal, random bars, vortex stuff like that.
    I was also wondering if there was a random option for this.
    If I have to add them in manually, that's fine with me. It would be really nice to be able to add some different transitions between frames.
    Once again, thank you in advance for your help.

  • Jsp newbie having trouble using JSP's with Jdev 10.1.3

    Hi,
    Have been bashing my head for about two hours with this, if anyone can help will substantially improve my life.
    First off apologies if question is stupid or obvious I am a jsp newbie.
    Have been experimenting with using the Jsp Taglibrary for tabbed panes in a browser.
    http://www.ditchnet.org/tabs/
    I have followed all the installation instructions but in JDeveloper when I build I get the message
    Error(18,2): method setJspContext(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext) not found in class org.ditchnet.jsp.taglib.tabs.handler.TabConfigTag
    Any idea what jar file I'm missing.
    I'm a bit lost, thanks

    Arrrrrrrrgh,
    Sorted my problem.
    Rebuilt project, works fine now, no idea what was going on (just generally!).
    Thanks for input Shay

  • Newbie having trouble with opt/rep regions

    Hi everyone. I'm migrating my site from simple, square html
    to nice, elegant css. I've done most of the work, but I'm having
    some trouble with templates. Here's an example of how a page
    created with a template will (hopefully) look:
    http://www.technfun.com/temp/example.html
    I've succeeded in making the article region (inside the white
    frame) editable, but I can't figure out how to handle the side bar
    menu. It's supposed to contain links to the chapters and
    subchapters of the main article, so that clicking there will bring
    you to the right place in the page (a simple # link, in other
    words). However, the article writer (me) needs to be able to add as
    many "SidebarLarge" entries as necessary. Under each of those there
    may or may not be the need to add "SidebarSmall" entries for
    subchapters.
    I read the help file and figured out I need to do something
    with the optional and repeating region settings, but whenever I try
    I only ever manage to make a mess of the sidebar. Anyone can tell
    me how exactly I'm supposed to do this?
    Thanks :)

    Why not just make the whole sidebar an editable region
    instead? Then you
    can add as much stuff as you see fit.

  • Newbie having trouble with template highlight (button)

    Stupid question I'm sure, but for the life of me I can't figure it out:
    When using a template, if I change anything at all about the TYPE related to a button, or the size of the button/text group, the corresponding HIGHLIGHT gets freaky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to control where that highlight appears, or even it's size, etc. So I have these beautiful DVD menus that are marred by weird highlight bars--some of them run across two buttons.
    (Yes, I figured out how to make the highlights invisible, but that defeats the whole point of course.)
    Hope my question wasn't confusing. Any help would be wildly appreciated. Thanks...

    Okay, let me pose a theory: Is it possible my installation is having trouble, in other words is what I'm seeing NOT normal?
    Can anyone verify (it would only take a few minutes) my findings? Here are the steps: Create a brand-new project using (just to make sure we're on the same page) the Apple template called "Wedding Classical Index." Next, resize any one of the main elements (labeled "button 1," etc.). OR, change the text to two words, or modify the text size/font. When finished, hit the Simulate button and mouse over the button you modified.
    Does the highlight look normal, e.g., underneath the text, etc., or has it moved to the side of the text, or changed into a vertical line, or worse?
    I just want to verify that my installation isn't being screwy. Thanks to the kind soul who takes a minute to help me out with this so I can move on...

    I'm an experienced an experienced Windows user, finding myself surprisingly lost on my new iPad and iTunes.
    (Surpising because, although I'm used to dealing with oddball and sometimes frustrating things on Windows,  I had heard the Mac and iPad interface fast simpler to navigate and more frustration free.)
    So please excuse what may seem like dumb newbie questions about what should be, and probably are to you experienced iTunes and iPad users, simple things:
    For starters:
    I'm search for a few apps in the app store that I know for sure exist and know the exact names:
    One is the
    iPad User Guide
    The other is
    the AOPA flight planner app.
    I know it exists because it's installed on my wife's iPad. Can't remember how I found it on her iPad.
    When I use the apps store search box (whether I do it in the app store in the iPad or in iTunes on my Windows 7 computer)
    I keep failing to find them.
    I've tried putting
                           iPad user guide
                            AOPA flight planner
      or even just                AOPA
    in the search box in both environments and clicking the search (magnifying glass) icon.
    I either get a mess of apps with  AOPA in the name (but not the one I want)
    or a message saying the equivalent of "sorry... not found." 
    What the heck am I doing wrong?
    All help appreciated.
    Alex

    You are not doing anything wrong. Those apps just do not appear to be available any more.
    They will always be available to your wife since she downloaded them and they are backed up in her iTunes Library (assuming she synced it with iTunes since downloading them) but it would appear that anyone else trying to find them will be unsuccessful.
    These are not dumb questions nor are they trivial concerns. The whole digital distribution method has many advantages, but you just ran into one of its drawbacks.
    "Ownership" of software was always a controversial subject, but the way things are going the argument will soon be a moot point... unfortunately.

  • Newbie having trouble with keyframes

    I'm a newbie to Flash, and have just started going through
    the online tutorial here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/intro_flash_pt2_04.html
    This is the problem I'm having: In the section "Creating a
    frame-by-frame animation", when I have created the symbols, and
    want to edit them, the Properties Inspector shows that the images
    are bitmaps, not movie clips. Why is this? Shouldn't they have
    become movie clips when I created the symbols, renamed them, and
    saved them as movie clips? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Did you have the bitmaps selected and chose "Modify - Convert
    to Symbol" (F8) when you "created the symbols"?
    Or did you select "Insert - New Symbol" (Ctrl-F8)? This would
    of course have created empty movieClips and left your bitmaps
    untouched.

  • Newbie having trouble

    I'm new to Flash, Have got the new Flash 8 Pro. I'm trying to
    start at the beginning with tutorials to learn how to use flash.
    The first tutorial under the "getting started with flash" area is
    "building your first flash application" I have gone through the
    whole tutorial, made sure that I followed each step carefully, and
    yet the graphics (JPG) files are not showing up in the project.
    What they have you doing is making a FMA for a ficticious
    restuarant website, an example of there menu to be used as a header
    for the page i imagine. I have made sure that I copied the entire
    folder over as requested, double checked that I don't have any
    upper/lower case problems and I still don't have the images showing
    up on the fla file when I go to control to test it. Any ideas what
    could be wrong? Has anyone reported a problem with this tutorial,
    or am I just missing something?
    Thanks in advance, How2

    I did get your e-mail but I was unable to get to the forum
    for a couple of days. However in the mean time I found the problem.
    The project had 80 frames in it and it was set to loop, the
    tutorial was telling me to set an action (motion tweens) to the key
    frame 80. I didn't notice the first time around, but when starting
    over with the tutorial when I applied that action to frame 80 I got
    a (!) in the bottom left corner of my workspace warning me that
    something was wrong. When I clicked on the (!) i got a window with
    the message "Motion Tweening will not occur on layers with
    ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol."
    I'm not sure what that meant but when I removed the action
    everything began to work.
    I'm learning to keep my eyes open as I do these tutorials
    because they have a few typos and wrong instructions in them that
    for a newbie like me can cause some frustration. Thank God that
    Flash has that little warning (!) that lets you know when something
    is not working, I am so glad that I noticed it there!
    Thanks for all your help.

  • Newbie Installation Troubles

    Hi all,
    Im trying to get JSTL to work with my setup but I'm hitting a few troubles. Can anyone see if they can help.
    Here's a little of my setup:
    JDK - 1.5
    IDE - Eclipse 3.1 with Web Tools Project v0.7 Milestone MD 5
    JSTL - Apache Taglibs Standard 1.1
    Here's the problem in it's most basic form. If I have...
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
    <jsp:useBean id="userBean" class="jeanie.UserInfoBean" scope="session"/>
    <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Jeanie - Welcome</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    3 + 3 = ${3 + 3}
    </body>
    </html>Everything works fine and you see what you expect. But if I replace the 3+3 line with...
    <c:out value="${3+3}"/>I get a lovely error message saying "org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(9,0) According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions". Does anyone know what is causing this error? Here's my web.xml. I'm sure it'll be something simple I've missed.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">
         <display-name>Jeanie</display-name>
         <welcome-file-list>
              <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
              <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
         </welcome-file-list>
         <taglib>
              <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core</taglib-uri>
              <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/c.tld</taglib-location>
         </taglib>
    </web-app>

    Actually, remove all references to the taglib from your web.xml file.
    They don't have to be there.
    All you need to run JSTL are two jar file in the web-inf/lib directory:
    standard.jar, jstl.jar
    The tld files are bundled with them.
