Only way to turn on nano is to reset?
I bought a refurbished iPod off of Appple's store and if I leave it off for more than an hour (holding PLAY then setting HOLD) I have to hold MENU and SELECT for 10s before it will turn on again. Also, when it's in this state where I can't turn it on unless I hit RESET, the screen will stay black even if I plug it into my computer. Is this normal?
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply
I went out and bought i Ipod AC charger thinking that it might be the USB port not supplying enough power
First I plugged it in the charger Everything seemed normal at this point The charging icon appeared .. I could turn it off and on like normal(holding the play/pause button.
I went away for about 10 minutes. Tried turning it on normally ,, didn't work.. tried a reset (center button+menu) now it won't even turn on at all
The only wierd thing that comes to mind when it was working for the short time is that I tried setting the clock several times; it would set itself back to 1:55 AM after about 5 tries
I am really starting to lose faith in this product
I used to have a BenQ MP3 player never one problem
This is the 4th Nano that I have gone through
Hope I can get this resolved
Thanks

My iPhone shuts down randomly and the only way to turn it on is to reset it, why?
It only turns on if it is charging and I don't know what's wrong it's been doing this since I bought it.
Make sure the battery is charged.
If it's not a battery issue, restore your iPhone.

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

Is unplugging TV-out adapter the only way to turn the second display off
When the video out adaper is plugged in the iMacs resolution resets to what the TV-out can handle, I.e. 1024x768.
I hate to have to plug/unplug the connecter to turn the TV-out off and thereby regain normal resolution on the iMac.
Is that the only way? I was hoping that there is a way to disable the video-out and get the iMac back to normal through software rather than physically pull the plug out to turn it off nd then have to plug it back in when I want TV.
Same goes for audio out. Any way to turn the external off while it's plugged in?

Try using ScreenSpanningDoctor. It'll let you have different resolutions for the TV out and the iMac, stopping that insane behavior. Also check out the Griffin iMic for your audio out. Using VLC you can select the second screen for video playback and the iMic for audio. Hope this helps. (works great here) -
(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?
Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back. -
Sound cuts out after any given amount of time, only way to turn back on is to reboot.
For reference, I am using a fully up-to-date mid-2012 model rMBP. Attached to my MacBook via USB I also have an M-Audio KeyStation 49i, which is where I have my headphones plugged in (probably not related in any way, but just noting this).
I first encountered this issue while using Chrome and listening to music on SoundCloud with Garageband open after the last Mavericks update yesterday. I initially thought it was a Chrome bug, and in doing some research, I found that other Chrome users were having the same issue as me, but it was related to PepperFlash (a version of the standard Flash player), and disabling it in Chrome Canary fixed the issue for them.
Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue for me, but I have refrained from using Chrome since then and stuck to Safari to ensure that it's not two issues with the same outcome.
Then I stumbled across all of the Mavericks users that are having sound problems; anything from crackling/popping to not working at all. It seemed, though, that everyone that was having the sound cut out for them entirely were not only having this happen after their laptops came back from sleep mode (which is not the case for me), but were able to fix it by restarting Coreaudio[d] or -- if they had been using the headphone jack on their Macs -- they just had to plug it in again and take it back out. Neither of these worked or were applicable to my situation. Some were able to get it working again by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, and a few others seemed to be able to bypass the issue by using Soundflower, but neither of these solutions worked for me either. The only way I can get sound to work again is to restart my computer entirely.
After doing so, I am only able to listen to audio for a certain amount of time. It seems to vary depending on how much memory the task is taking up. Like I'll be able to listen to a track or two on SoundCloud, or attempt to record into Garageband for five minutes or so. If I'm in a Garageband project that already has a lot of tracks, I'll be lucky if I can even get through a few seconds before it cuts out entirely. There are very quiet crackling/pop sounds every once and awhile, but it is hard for me to distinguish if that is just the natural state of the hardware I am using or if it is related to background system sounds.
I'm at wit's end trying to figure out what the problem is, mostly because there are so many others with similar issues and varying hardware/software setups that it's hard to track down exactly what my own situation is.
I'd like to know where I should be exporting any error logs from so that someone can take a look at this issue.
Thank you.After doing some additional testing, I was able to get the sound working again without rebooting by:
1. Unplugging the MIDI device.
2. Resetting the audio input and output to "built-in".
3. Plugging back in the MIDI device.
4. Changing the audio input and output back to the MIDI device.
Still, though, the sound only lasts for a little while, and there doesn't seem to be anything indicating how or why it stops. -
Wifi and Data running simultaneously. Data was being charged to my account even though I was on WIFI. No one can fix the issue. I have wasted 8 hours of my life and went and returned my phone and got a new one yet after the last update I now have WIFI and Data showing that they are running simultaneously. I have looked at numerous message boards and turned off Caller ID don't have Volte on my phone but do get an error with Visual Voice Mail. I don't want any of these services, you are not helping your customers Verizon or Samsung with forcing us to update. I tried not to update my NEW phone that I had to get from Costco because of this exact same stupid issue happen on my last one. But every time I said NO to update the next time I did anything on the phone the UPDATE would pop up again. I would say NO it would come back. I was doing a text and it came up and I hit update not wanting to and then my phone began updating on a low battery. I had to rush to put on charge and then my WIFI and Data came back on together with arrows on all going up and down. I HATE the lack of support I get from SAMSUNG and VERIZON... Verizon washes their hands and say these are not Updates even though these are the features we have on all our phones like Visual Voice Mail and Volte...
I did look at the Settings/Cellular to check the applications. This is one of the steps I did with the person from Verizon who was an "iPhone Specialist". And he didn't see anything unusual. And I can honestly tell you they have very minimal number of apps on their phones.
When I went to the Apple Store the first time with this problem, they had me update the phones iOS systems to see if this would correct the problem. They were each running older versions but different versions. One son had one update to do and the other had a couple of updates needed. So, the problem started before they were updated and they weren't even on the same update. And nothing changed after we did the updates.
I didn't reboot the router and modem, because I'm not having any other issues with my phone, my husband's phone, our iPad, xbox, PS3, or laptops. Would the wifi only affect their phones? -
Hard reset is the only way to turn it on, stuck on repair loop. Tried everything. Tips?
I'm going to be as descriptive as possible, in a hope to actually pinpoint an issue.
Not too long ago, my "Lock" function starting acting wonky. It'd lock itself while "Unlocked", and vise versa. This happened for a few days, while all other functions (including connectivity to iTunes and my computer. Then the ipod went black overnight. I tried to hard-reset, and it left the Apple logo on my screen for several minutes before going black again. I locked, unlocked, and according to other reports on this Support page, attempted to Hard Reset, and then try to go into Disk and/or Diagnostic mode. Neither of which worked. I then read that perhaps Hard Resetting, and then immediately plugging in to a computer might for some reason work - it didn't. The device is recognized by my computer, most of the time, but not by iTunes - unless it's asking me to attempt to Recover, which only stops 8/10ths of the way through and asks again to remain connected for recovery. I've connected to different computers, I've connected with different cords, I've tried every USB port in a ten block radius - no luck.
One day, I read that perhaps changing the default drive (C:, E;, Q;, et cetera) might assist in my issues. I had gotten Disk mode to function, and only made sure to put music onto the ipod that I was sure I actually purchased from Apple. I had music for one day, and that night it stopped functioning again.
At this point, it's a paper weight. I can get it to the Apple logo. If I leave it at the Apple logo long enough, it will prompt me with, "Please Plug This Device in for Restoration" - which is moot, as restoration never finishes and I'm S.O.L.
If I Hard Reset, get it to the Apple Logo, then charge it - afer awhile it reverts to the black and white "Do Not Disconnect" with the circle and line, but stays that way for eternity. I've tried Hard Resetting from there, nothing. I've tried Diagnostic Mode and Disk Mode, nothing. I've left it charging all day and night, nothing.
Right now, my last resort is seeming to bring it to the store - but the Warranty being expired, and $30 just for technical support, I'm not willing to go that far for someone to tell me THEY don't know how to fix it, or that it would cost too much to fix it.
Has anyone had any similar problems, and have had them resolved? Any other suggestions on how to get this beast functioning again?
Much love,

Is there another way to turn phone off?
My mom has an iphone 4. The sleep/wake button is stuck so it will not let her turn the phone off. Is there another way to turn the phone off?
Thanks!As far as I know, the power button is the only way to turn your iPhone on and off. There's no other way, softward or hardware other wise. You might want to go to an Apple Store if it really bothers you, but turning your device on and off drains a lot of battery - it's better to just let it sleep automatically (as iDevices do after a certain amount of time).

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?
Turn the printer off.

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement. -
hi,
phone works great but when on a call proximity sensor kicks in turns off the screen. When I pull the phone away from my head screen is still blank. The force hangup/lock is the only way to bring the screen back on.
I purchaged it before one month onl. So i wont understand how it comes. Please help me. I am waiting for you reply."Your face is so ugly, it broke your phone!" Ha ha. Get it? How I was joking there? About your iPhone not working correctly after... <sigh>
But seriously, you said the situation only happens when you have been on a long call, so maybe the iPhone is just autolockng?
