Playbook doesn't hold charge or just cuts out

Hi, I've had quite a few problems with my PB for a while now. 3 issues: It does'nt always let me turn it on, the charge doesn't seem to hold (or have any power) and it just shuts down without warning. Really frustrating. I have the latest software loaded, but it seems since doing this it's caused even more problems. I've wiped everything off it and that worked for a day or two, now I'm back to square one with poor performance.
I purchased a new charger and that doesn't seem to have done the trick.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Are you indeed able to charge the PlayBook to 100%?
Are you using the OEM Wall outlet charger in the USB port?

Audio just cut out

As a musician I am always using my midi controller with some virtual instrument. Just now I heard a pop and the audio cut out. I've had this issue before and restarting fixes the problem fine, but is there a way to fix it without rebooting? What causes this?

Which interface are you using? Are you using all grounded outlets?
I have had situations where electrical noise on the line has been enough to cause the MIDI device to panic and forget where it is thus requiring a reset.

Battery Doesn't Hold Charge: Less than Three Months Old!!

I got an iPod touch on June 28. Everything was working fine up until yesterday.
I was transferring a bunch of new music onto it on Friday night, around 7–8 PM. By the end of it, around 8–9 PM the iPod was fully charged.
I unplugged it and went to sleep.
I spent all Saturday at work, and left my iPod at home. When I got back, around 10 PM, the iPod gave me the "20% Charge remaining" warning.
I made an appointment at the Genius Bar for Tuesday, but I'd like to find out what people's experience with this has been in the past.
Do they replace the battery or the iPod? From what I understand the battery can't be easily replaced — but the new iPod touches are a different model.
Will I end up having to pay some kind of upgrade tax for the new "features" (that should've been in the first one to begin with... but that's a different can of worms...)?

take it to your local apple store if it gets anything less than 2 hours charge they'll replace it with a refurb's model for you FREE.
For the record, the refurbs are new, they just don't come with retail packaging or accessories (headphones, usb etc).

LG Spectrum doesn't hold charge after latest update

About 2 weeks ago my phone automatically updated overnight. I was surprised the next morning to find a different look on my phone and having to change things back to my settings. Since then, my phone won't hold a charge for more than 5-6 hours. It's fully charged when I go to work in the morning and by 12 noon, it's almost dead. Anyone else having these same issues? Anyone know what to do to fix it? I've closed all programs. The one program that it keeps saying is taking up the battery is Google Maps and I'm not even using it. HELP!

Did you ever get an answer on this? Mine acts the same way.....these phones are the biggest pain I have ever had. The sales guy must have been getting commission on them when he pushed us into getting these specific phones.

IPod Battery issue - doesn't hold charge

Okay, there are a million of these articles, because I guess this happens all of the time.
-I have Windows, a 4th Gen 20gig iPod, and USB 2.0
here's the problem:
-When plugged into the power adapter, it restarts constantly and gives the sad ipod face, or occasionally, the Folder icon.
-When plugged into the computer, it has the non-animated low-battery icon.
It goes into disk mode when plugged into the power adapter, but when I disconnect it to plug it into the computer to restore it, it turns off.
I let it sit on the shelf, because my warranty expired.
Recently, after months and months actually, I tried putting it in disk mode, and it turned on! It still only worked the way that it did before (when plugged into a power source).
I don't know what I did, but it worked for a week or so, and now, it's gone. So, I am desperate to fix this without having to put more money into the iPod.

So make an appointment at the Genius Bar and get your battery evaluated.

Sound just cut out.

Hey. I own a Pavilion G6 (I think its the 1325ae) I've had it for around four months give or take. About two days ago I opened up my Calibre application (read books) and my Itunes just stopped playing. I thought at first that maybe it was because of calibre not letting you listen to music when you read (made sence at the time) but then I checked all applications that input sound (VLC, itunes, Windows media, Mozilla, Chrome) and nothing is working. I checked the devices and even though the sound is not coming through it does say it is working fine. When I put headphones in the sound works. I've tried many things like trying to install the sound device again and restoring my laptop but nothing has worked. Any help would be apprieciated.

My iPod had full charge and suddenly cut out, now it wont turn on, iTunes wont connect either, any advice?

Hey everyone, right, i was recently using my iPod touch 4th gen (which had been on charge for about 5 hours), i took a quick 2 minute break and got back to find the screen blank, now the iPod wont turn on. I have tried connecting it to iTunes but it doesnt even connect. I havent got any jailbreaking software on there although i havent updated the software in a while. Any advice?

- See if resetting the iPod will eithr bring it to life or asllow itunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod via iTunes
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow it to be restored.. For recovry mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Macbook 13" battery not holding charge though claims to be at 99% or 100%

My Macbook 13" is coming up about 3 years old but has had this problem for nearly a year now (I've just been reluctant to accept I might just need a new battery until now). Although it claims to be fully charged, it goes into sleep mode (or something similar) as early as at 92% battery and can't be woken up even when my charger is plugged back in, it needs to be turned off and back on with the button. Basically, it doesn't hold charge.
Admittedly the cycle count is on 569 so it might just be worn out. Does it just need replacing or is there a deeper, more sinister fault at work here?

HT1384 iPod touch won't hold charge

iPod touch, 1yr old, doesn't hold charge when not in use for couple days. Is it possible that something is running in the background and
If so how would I check?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
To extend battery life see:
Apple - Batteries - iPod
It is not unusual for the an iPod left in sleep mode with wifi on to discharge fully in a day or so.

Everytime I try to carry out a software update my macbookpro just cuts it off before installation. Any ideas???

When I try to update my software it just cuts out after a few seconds and asks if I want to restart the process. Any ideas on this?? Also, I am unable to add any attachments to outgoing emails. Just freezes and I have to force quit my safari???

What update was this, and what "trusted site" did you use?

I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack, but certain songs play halfway then just cut, and play the next track...how can I get a refund or re-download?

I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack and in the downloads sections, all music downloaded to complete, yes more than half the tracks play halfway then just cut out and play the next track...it's awful...how can I resolve this??

I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
Thank you for your assistance. - LRB

.MXF Audio Cutting Out

Editing a seuqnece with footage from a Canon XF105. I use these cameras quite often, however every once in awhile a bug creeps up with the audio the camera recorded. For some reason it will just cut out while on the timeline; volume settings are all checked, and other audio files play, but the audio from the camera simply doesn't play (video on the linked clips are fine). If I quit PP and re-open, the audio will be fine for some amount of time, then randomly cut out.
It's not every clip imported, only a random few and happens about once every six or so projects. Normally I just quit and re-open, however I'm doing an extended project today and it's annoying to keep having to do to cut my footage. Any suggestions? Seems random it doesn't happen to every MXF clip on every project, only a few here and there. Also, if I export while the bug is happening the exported file has no audio on those clips, but if I re-open and export right away, audio is fine.
The footage is pulled right from the CF card the XF105 records to and dragged into PP for import. Sequence settings are set to "Match" when footage is applied to the timeline. Working on a windows 7 machine with PP CS6 full version.

Yes! I have the same issue too with me Motorokr s9 stereo BT headset and my Jawbone Icon -- This happens both when playing music via the iPod app OR when speaking on the phone. I can't put the phone in my pocket or else this happens!!! I also can't put it on the desk then walk around my 12x12 office without the dropouts. Having to hold the phone close to the headset kinda defeats the purpose. BTW, my 3GS worked almost flawlessly with these devices. I know, early-adopter syndrome but REALLY! I really rely on the BT headsets
Just got off the phone with Apple Support -- they were ver nice and helpful. They've scheduled me a Genius appt for tomorrow morning so they can run diags on the iPhone. They've also asked me to bring the headsets.

Powerbook cut out completely tonight-Why?

My high res G4 15" 1.67GHz powerbook , bought Dec 05, has been playing up recently. Today I have had 2 kernel panics (possibly associated with the use of my vodafone 3G card and new software to allow it to work as the old software ceased to work with Mac Os X.4.5).
This afternoon the powerbook just cut out and stopped working when on battery. The screen went blank and the computer working noise ceased. When I rebooted the powerbook the time and date was set to 1970 indicating there had been a failure of power.
The battery charges full and shows a battery life of nearly 4 hours. I have had no problems previously with the powerbook.
I updated the software to Mac Os X.4.7 two days ago.
I am worried this is a sign of complete failure of my powerbook and wonder whether I should send it off to Apple (my nearest Apple Store is 3 hrs drive).
Should I be worried? What should I do ? I have had macs for 13 years but this is the first time one completely cut out on me!
G4 powerbook 1.67GHz, G4 powerbook 12 1.5GHz, Macbook pro 17" 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Since you just updated to 10.4.7, and it sounds like the issues 'may' be related (ignoring for a moment the 3G card).....did you do the update through the software update function? Sometimes the software update function doesn't complete the upgrade, and odd things can happen. If you haven't already, you may want to download the combo update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html . Repair permissions before and after the upgrade. If you use OnyX, you might clear the kernal and system caches before applying the combo upgrade.
