Pavilion dv7 laptop ac adapter problem. It works, but Windows 7 does not recognize it anymore.

The ac adapter works, and the battery remains at 100%, but the icon never switches from battery to AC. The laptop will not turn on without the battery and just AC, yet the adapter keeps the battery charged at 100%. Windows 7 will not perform some of the updates when it thinks it is running on battery.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue with my G61. I apologize in advance for hi jacking your post and leaving such a long reply but maybe it will help both of us in the long run.
The problem started off by everyonce in a while my battery icon showing my battery needed replaced. I ran the battery tool and it said the battery was bad. I eventually replaced the battery to no avail. Here is everything that I have done and noted while dealing with this problem. After replacing the battery the battery tool would not run saying that in order for the test to work the AC adapter needs to be plugged in (computer will only work with the AC adapter plugged in). If I am using the computer and the adapter happens to come unplugged it almost instantly goes into a permenant sleep and I have to hard reset and plug the adapter back in in order to use the laptop.
The icon at the bottom of the screen does not show the battery charging. It only shows the battery in good standing and its current power level. If I remove the battery it changes to no battery present.
Some wierd things that are going on are the computer will boot up on battery power alone but as soon as windows is loading at the desktop it will go back into permenant sleep and will have to hard reset. Also the computer will not power on with the battery removed and the AC adapter plugged in but all my power indicators are lit up showing its getting power.
I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performed all the updates thinking that maybe that would fix the problem. But it did not. Although now when I run the battery tool it does not tell me to plug in the AC adapter. It goes through the process and tell me that everyting is OK and my battery checks out fine.
One thing that gives me hope that its a software issue is that I have no issue using the battery when running Windows in any version of SAFE MODE. I can run it till the battery dies without it going into permenant sleep.
I have read that it could be a motherboard issue but not sure how to verify. Any help to help us figure this out would be fantabulous.

I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?

Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears? That appears to be your situation.
Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again. If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following. Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked. If so, check it and Apply the change. See if that makes any difference.
(If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change. Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

IDM may need to be updated to work with Firefox 4.0. You could contact them and make them aware of the problems you are having with their program.

My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

Why are my tags not syncing for a shared email account? IE One person tags an email as "Work" but it does not show on other users Thunderbird.

Subject says it all for the most part.
A shared email account we'll call "[email protected]" is not syncing tags across other end users Thunderbird. User A will tag an email as Work but it will not sync/show on anyone else's application. I've read that Thunderbird stores tags locally now? Is there a way to sync them up to our IMAP server? Or would we have to revert to a previous version of Thunderbird (if so which)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

the issue is probably that the server does not support tags..... Thunderbird stores them locally, but syncs them were the server supports it.

Wired works but wireless does not

I am posting this for two of my friends. Both of them have the same problem. They both brought their laptops to my house and connected wireless to my belkin router automatically. No problem. They both went home to their houses (two different friends both with linksys in their houses) and could not connect to their own linksys routers. They tried to repair connection but router did not show up as available. They both also have desktop computers that are wired and connect to the Internet without any problem. They both also wired their pc's to the router and connected without any problem. When they tried to connect wireless, they could not. We tried turning off the modem and router and pc and reboot the modem, router and pc again. Still only works when wired, but not wireless. By the way, they tried connecting wireless in the same room next to their router so there should not be any interference or something blocking the signal. Also they both have a Toshiba laptop with a built-in wireless.
Any suggestions?

Hi, have your friends check the status of their adapter. And if it is working fine, ask them if they have trief already setting up the wireless settings of the router?
Take the risk. Conquer your limitations!

After upgrading to 10.2.2.12 on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)

The touchscreen on my D7460 no longer works... it does not recognize touch anymore.

I recently moved my D7460 downstairs. I was trying to set it up with my new router, but the touchscreen no longer senses touch. I plugged it into my PC USB port and the printer works. The display continues to show status.
Without be able to use the touchscreen, I can't set it up for my new router. Any suggestions?

Hi - Not sure there is a lot you can do, unfortunately. With that said, I'd definnitely do a reset of the printer:
Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from back of the product.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 90 seconds.
Connect the power cord into wall outlet.
Connect the power cord to the back of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button ( ) to turn it on.
Try the touchpad.
One other thing to try, disconnect if from the computer/router, power it off and see if you have the same problem. If you're still seeing the same issue after following the steps listed above, it would likely need to be serviced if you want the touchscreen fixed.
Hope that helps.

I need to place the Maltese cross on a web page. IE works, Safari works, but Firefox does not. It is wingding character.

The Maltese cross is in the winding font family. I have the following HTML on the pages:
<pre><nowiki>
<span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top;">X</span></nowiki></pre>
The inline element <span> tag is in a <font> tag.
CSS: span.cross { color: #000; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; }
This has been working for years in IE 5, 6, 7 & 8, works also in safari (latest rev), but does not work in FireFox rev 4.0.1. FoxFire displays a large X instead of the Maltese cross.
Other than this small problem FoxFire works great, especially with HTML5 & CSS3.
Any help would be appreciated.

This concerns the Maltese cross problem. When I posted the problem, the data inside "<" and ">" characters is lost. The only thing that showed was the "X".
I posted the HTML used to display the cross w/o these chars.
span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top" X /span
Thanks for any help.

Time Capsule: IPv6 works, but IPv4 does not

I have a Time Capsule (running 7.7.3) and a Mac Pro (2010, running 10.10.1) connected via ethernet. My ISP (Webpass) has IPv6 support.
The Mac Pro can communicate over IPv6 (e.g. ping6 google.com works; I can load google.com over IPv6 using Safari).
However, IPv4 does not work. The Mac Pro isn't even getting an IPv4 address via DHCP from the Time Capsule.
I'm pretty sure I have my IPv4 configuration correct in the Time Capsule, because if I turn on wifi on the Mac Pro (using the Time Capsule as my base station), the wifi interface gets an IPv4 address, and can reach the Internet over IPv4.
Possibly relevant: 3 days ago I noticed that IPv6 wasn't being routed properly by my ISP, so I filed a trouble ticket. They fixed it 2 days ago, which is when my wired IPv4 networking broke. (Given that I can use IPv4 via wifi suggests that the problem lies with the Time Capsule).
I have tried rebooting the Time Capsule and different ethernet ports on both the Time Capsule and Mac Pro, to no avail.
How can I get wired IPv4 working again?

I wish you were running anything but yosemite on the computer as it is least reliable networking OS yet.
Factory reset the TC. Redo the setup.. please use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. do not use the names apple wizard will recommend.. keep passwords also 8-20 character pure alphanumeric but mixed case and numbers.
In ethernet setup of the computer.. how have you got ipv6 set??
How is ipv4 set?
Have you tried static address in the Mac?
What sort of broadband is this?? If there is a modem what sort? And what mode is the TC running in?
One of the strange things that can happen.. with IPv6 you can use TC bridged to a fibre connection..
But for ipv4 to work it must be set to DHCP and NAT in the network tab.

Weirdness: http works but https does not

I have a very weird problem which no-one has been able to fix.
I have an Airport Extreme card and a third-party DSL modem / wireless router combo. Most internet activities are fine (ftp, email, http) but whenever I try to access a secure site (https) or run a VPN connection (Apani Netlock) one of three things happen:
1. I spontaneously disassociate from my WiFi base station, losing the wireless connection. If I cancel the https request or close down the VPN, the wireless link comes back after 5-10 seconds.
2. I get TCP/IP timeouts - no responses from server.
3. It works, but extremely slowly. Loading a single https web page can take anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. I'm on a 1.5 Mb/s DSL link.
Things I have tried:
1. Connecting by ethernet directly to the router instead of using 802.11b/g - all the problems go away. So it is not a DSL modem or ISP issue.
2. Changing the MTU of the Airport Extreme card (en1). I have tried values from 600 to 1492. Same problems exist - makes no difference.
3. Tried an Apple Airport base station connected by ethernet to the modem instead of using the modem's wireless. Same problems exist, although the VPN doesn't work at all (even slowly) because the ABS does not support that particular VPN protocol.
I'm at my wits end. No one I have spoken to at tech support at the ISP or modem manufacturer have ever heard of such a problem.
HELP!

Ok, it's some years later. and the problem has gone away. Things which may have fixed it: OS software upgrades, client software upgrades, better signal strength (this problem did seem more prevalent at low WiFi signal strengths).

Airport express: wireless works, but internet does not

Hello.
It happened yesterday for no apparent reason: Internet was not working via airport anymore, as it should have normally.
Config: Cable modem to Airport extreme (.g); USB printer attached to base station, base station Ethernet port going to router with Boradband phone and 1 PC attached to it.
4 MAc computers attached to Network (and getting Internet) via Airport.
Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables (good), reset base station and recreated an airport network.
Airpot network works, USB printer is accessible via Airport, but Internet is still off (although Network Configuration in Sys Pref give me a green light and informs me that I am connected to the internet)
My question: is it possible that Base Station fails only for its Internet/WAN capability, and not for Network functions?
thanks. This one is a puzzler.

Hello.
We have been having the same problem discussed in this thread earlier, described as follows:
It happened two days ago for no apparent reason:
Internet was not working via Airport Express anymore, as it
should have normally.
Config: Cable modem to Airport Express via a US Robotics router,
2 MAC computers (iMac700 and MacMini) attached to Network (and getting
Internet), the iMac through router and the MacMini via Airport Express.
Internet connection using DHCP, dynamic IP address
provided by RoadRunner (Time Warner).
iMac connected to router is getting Internet just fine; MacMini connected to network via AEX is getting network signal but no Internet. Network diagnostics says it can't tell what's wrong and call ISP. ISP says it's an Apple problem.
I tested Cable Modem (works), all ethernet cables
(good), Airport Express network works, but Internet is still off for MacMini.
I've done a power recycling exercise twice, but still no Internet on the MacMini.
Does anyone have any ideas? Both my son and I are stumped. He's a teenager and is fairly computer savvy. Neither of us has been able to figure this out.
