SA520 logs me off after seconds of getting logged in

My SA520 is logging me out, so I am not able to do config changes or software upgrades. Any reasons why this is happening?

Dear Partner,
Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.
Is this happening after you enter your admin or guest level access credentials? Does it happens when attempting to log on locally or remotely? Same thing happens as admin and/or guest credentials? How about trying different browser?
I am afraid if none of these things make a difference, the next step would be a factory reset, upgrade the firmware release version to the latest 2.2.07, and reconfigure manually;

If after doing the the problem persists, I then suggest you to contact the Small Business Support Center to open a service request to provide you a solution,

I have ipod 4 touch. 3yrs old. when i plug in it isnt charging. it gets switched off after the charge gets over. then it charges and again switches on. dont know how to solve this problem.. please help

IPod 4 touch. 3yrs old. Not charging when plugged in. But charges when the battery gets drained. when battery gets over I keep it for charging. It switches on and doesn't charge.. Plz help!!;;

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods. I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?

I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

First time update windows 8 is fine after second time i get failure message to configuring

my tablet pc is ativ smart pc pro. first time I wanted to updat my tablet bios it stuck and i turn it off after that i reinstall windows everything was fine first time i update my windows and its done but for second time it shows me that " failure
update configuring, reverting changes" I dont know what to do. I restore my system to first day but again give me same error. last time i just restore windows and didnt install any program and start to update again i get same problem.

Hi,
For your problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you contact Samsung to verify whether the BIOS upgrade would effect system ，
Secondly, if updates configuration failed, can you access into system? if so, please check which updates configure failed.
Thirdly, you can check WindowsUpdates log and CBS log to find the reason of this problem. if you had difficult to analyze these log, you can provide them to us.

My 2009 iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up. It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple log

My late 2009 27" iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up. It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple logo again. This could possibly be an HD failure, but then why does Safe Mode still work and the USB install not work? Any ideas?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules.

Macbook Pro shuts off after few seconds of gray screen

Help - I came home to discover my power cord had died and my laptop turned off due to no power. I used a friend's power cord to turn it on later that night and send some emails. I bought a new power cord the next day, plugged in, and turned the laptop on. It stayed on the gray screen with a spinning wheel beneath the apple logo for a while. I restarted it and it turned off after a few seconds of the gray screen. An empty bar flashes twice horizontally at the bottom before the spinning bar begins.
I tried booting in safe mode, but it would just stay on the gray screen. I tried doing shift+command+v and received a message about keys out of order and disk error full, can't repair. I was able to boot from the install disc, and when I click "Repair Disc" I get the same erros. Not sure what to do now?

Would my time machine data be preserved with this?
Well this is the big gamble. You really don't know for sure.
TimeMachine has gotten corrupted from a failing original drive and then unable to restore properly to a new drive.
It's not like you can access the files on a TM drive directly and cherry pick what you need and leave the rest. It's all or nothing.
If you go erasing your only other copy on the boot drive, which the files still could be accessed from another boot drive, and if you find out the TimeMachine drive can't restore, then your up the creek without a paddle right?
So if your able, create a data recovery drive and try to rescue your second copy of the files on the boot drive or restore the TM drive to the second boot drive , so this way your files can be accessed directly if you need it and you have two copies again.
Once you can direclty access your files then you can go about erasing and installing on the internal boot drive.

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

Korg micro37 keyboard turns off after a few seconds

Hi all,
My Korg micro37 keyboard turns itself off after about 4 seconds after I plug the keyboard in. Any idea why this happens? It doesn't happen on a Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, but does on another Arch laptop with 3.7.1 kernel. I had the same problem with 3.5.x kernels. Thanks.

So I did call Apple. That was pointless since they had no idea what was wrong. I made an appointment with a Genius at the Apple store nearest to me. The associate who checked me in said his wife had the same problem (and discovered it while on an 8 hour flight, which stinks).
The genius who helped me was great. He had no idea what the issue was and hadn't heard of the issue before, so he took my phone into the back room and ran some diagnostics.
He found that there was nothing wrong with the hardware at all, but he noticed an error with my firmware.
He restored my phone (while my phone was plugged into itunes he held down the home and wake/sleep buttons. Then when the apple logo appeared he let go of the sleep/wake button but kept the home button pressed). This erased everything. I wasn't worried about that since all my contacts, apps, and music were backed up on my computer.
I guess he reinstalled the latest firmware and os update. He put a couple of albums worth of music on there too for me to test it. Problem solved.
It took an hour or two for me to get everything back onto my phone and in its proper place.
That was a pain, but worth it since I can now listen to music freely with no interruption.
The only thing I'm really ****** about is that my game data is all erased. Apparently when you back up your apps in itunes, it doesn't back up your progress/saves/scores in your games. I have about 30 games on my phone so this really, really *****. I guess I will just have to replay all the levels in Angry Birds, Peggle, Cut the Rope, etc. Lost a lot of progress in Infinity Blade which is pretty especially awful.
I just listened to about a half hour of music with no interruptions though, so I guess its a fair trade.
Good luck.

When i'm in email, after about 10 seconds, i get a black screen.....10 seconds later, it returns me to the general screen....anyone have this before??? thx

I don't know if you've got this solved or not but I started getting this too about a month ago. I just had it happen again about 10 minutes ago. I was on a website & BAM black screen, I don't hear the usual "winding down" of the hard drive though, so the HD sounds as though it's still working properly AND there's a weird hue around the edges of the screen so it's not pitch black as though the monitor turned off. Once I force shut down then I get the true pitch black screen before it turns back on again.
Also, every time this happens & I re-start the hard drive tends to be working very hard doing something in the background for at least 2-5 minutes not sure why?

Ibook remote vga monitors switching off after 30 seconds. (EMERGENCY)

Hi,
I run teleprompter for a major band. I use two white dual usb ibooks as they will run OS9. The only real pro prompter application for the mac never made it successfully to os X (accuprompt). I use two mini VGA to VGA adapters and run 100 ft of VGA cable to two VGA monitors. For no reason I can think of one day the monitors started going blank after 30 seconds as if they were going to sleep. The machines are set to NEVER sleep as are the displays, for battery AND power adapter use. I get a message on the monitors saying "not in optimum mode" and I usually just pressed the auto adjust button on the samsung (syncmaster 730B) flat screen and it would work fine. Now they both shut off after 30 seconds with no indication on the laptop displays. I swapped out the monitor and it was the same. I swapped out the computers with (sick) older ones and they worked. Apparently something changed on the computers........ at the same time. Puzzling......
I deleted the entire preferences folder. Rebuilt desktop, reset nvram and such in open firmware. It is not application based as the desktop disappears from the remote samsungs as well. What could be causing this.... what am I overlooking.... I'm wracking my brain..
many Mac OS X (10.4.3)

How would one check this Dave?
Just flex the connections; it would probably be pretty obvious if something's starting to break. There might also be corrosion or dirt in the iBook's video connector that could cause a problem, though I wouldn't think the symptoms would be the monitors going to sleep, but it's possible; different monitors react differently to signal loss.
Dave, I filter power through a "Monster Power Conditioner"
(http://www.monstercable.com/power/)
Even with those power conditioners, it might still be possible to be picking up ground loops in the video feed unless you're tying the entire electrical system, stage and offstage, into a single high-quality ground point. Using a passive hum suppressor transformer or wideband isolation transformer on the VGA feeds might be helpful. The Gefen units I mentioned should also break any ground loops that might be present. For additional information on video ground loops, this site may be helpful (though you may already know all this already).
Good luck.

HP DV6-6B25TX shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power

Hi,
MY DV6-6B25TX is shutting off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of battery power or AC power.
Following is the complete scenario of what happened during the last few weeks:-
Two weeks back i was using the laptop with the AC adaptor plugged in for charging, the battery got charged upto 99% then it stopped charging and the battery icon text displayed, 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
A week back the battery was 20 %, after plugging in the charger, still the same message 'Plugged in, Not Charging'.
Now the laptop doesnt respond to the power key when the battery is inserted.
If i remove the battery and again put it back, it starts without pushing the power button and shuts off after 10 seconds, i.e. even before starting Windows.
It shuts down even when on Bios Screen, so OS is definately not the issue.
When i connect the charger and press the power button, same thing i.e. starts and shutts off after 10 to 15 seconds irrespective of BIOS screen or Windows Boot.
I removed the ram and but it back again but still the problem persists.
Also there is no question of overheating due to dust as i have barely used the laptop for a few hours, the laptop is around 6 months old and under warranty.
Please Advice ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Honestly, something is preventing the battery from being charged. The notebook shutting down seconds after reinserting the battery is a good indication the battery just isn't getting charged. This could be a failed battery, charger, charging port, or motherboard in rare instances.
Since it is in warranty, I recommend contacting HP support as there is no easy fix for this on the forums. It is a hardware issue.
The number for support in the U.S.A. and Canada is 1-800-474-6836.

Logged off after no activity

It looks like I am being logged off after a period of inactivity. I have turned off energy savings and my screensaver, but I still appear to get logged off automatically after some time (I do not know how long, but it seems to be above 15 mins).
How to I make my system keep me logged in?

Hi
Have a look at System Preferences > Security > General. You may have the "Log out after xx minutes of inactivity" option enabled?
HTH?

My ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins

From first day only my ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins and then atomatically gets on after 2-3 mins. is it a hardware problem or some problem in settings? if anybody knows the solution then please let me know....

Is this a brand new iPad2. Did you notice this occurring before you started adding apps? Is this is occurring if you do not have any apps you have started running either active or in the background?
If you have already tried powering off the device, you can try to do a hard reset (Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider, let go of the buttons.) and see how it runs without starting any apps.
I do not have instructions for doing a restore but that is the only other step that I think of that you can take to resolve a software based problem.
If you are still seeing the behavior after trying most or all of the above, I would suggest taking it in or returning it for service.

Rebel T3 keeps shutting off after few seconds of videoing

I purchased a Rebel T3 for my daughter a few months ago. We are having trouble getting it to video. It keeps shutting off after a few seconds. It has a clean class 10 - 32gb card in it. Help please! (we have used a couple different cards in it, they all do fine & take excellent photos, just MAJOR problem trying to use the video mode) I have a T1i & have no trouble with the video on mine.

The manual may state Class 6 as the minimum speed for reliable HD video capture, but that it is most definitely not the fastest card supported by the camera.
The camera is able to take advantage of cards rated for speeds up to 45MB/s which should be at least 2x faster than the fastest Class 10 cards and about 4.5x faster than a Class 10 card operating at minimum spec of 10MB/s. A Class 10 card is rated for minimum throughput of 10MB/s write speeds. So, it should be between 7-8x faster than a Class 6 card performing at it's specified minimum 6MB/s speed.
So you really need to be looking at the write speed of the SD cards you buy. But, this assumes that the SD card is the problem which it may not be.

Hp zr2740w turns off after few seconds

I have the same problem as described in an earlier post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Audio-Video-Monitors/hp-zr2740w-turns-off-after-few-seconds/m-p...
My HP zr2740w turns off after a second or so. Tested with vga/dvi/displayport and desktop pc/laptop, so it's not a cable issue.
My hp zr2740w was bought in July 2012 so it's probably out of warranty. I live in Finland. The webshop I ordered the hp zr2740w does not exist anymore. The HP support pages don't seem to have any support numbers for displays.
I took the display to a local IT support / electrician guy and he said it's a power supply issue. But he couldn't find a place to order the part so he could replace it.
Hopefully I'll get some answer here or an idea what to do. Wouldn't want to throw away an expensive display just because it has power issues.
