T60 Locking up in the docking station after sitting on overnight.

I have a user who uses a T60. When they leave the machine in the docking station overnight, it lokcs up. The user must remove the battery and put it all back and re-boot before they can start their day.
Has anyone else experienced this before?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have already made sure the machine was not hibernating and set the power to never turn off anything. I have also re-imaged the machine using hte same image as the other 500 T60's we have in service.

See question 7.

In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

Don't want the phone to go to sleep after plugging it into the docking station

When I plug the phone into the docking station it switches into to the sleep mode immediately: the screen goes black. This is not what I want to happen. In fact, I have a loader which uses the docking station port in the car. So, when I put the phone into the holder it goes to sleep, so each time I have to switch the screen on immediately. This is tedious. Such a behaviour is inconcvenient at home as well.
In SmartConnect I went through the options related to the desktop charger but I did not find anything useful. There are no actions like "keep the screen on" or "wake up".
Any ideas?
Solved!

This could be an app acting up, just try this
settings > apps > all > smart connect > clear data > restart your phone and check again

Have discovered that I had not in fact updated the ios!!
Went through the process last night and my ipod now works fine on my docking station.
Thank you very much for your advice.

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

HT1473 How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

I can think of only one reason a song would be "converted" while it is being loaded on a shuffle.
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, depending on iPod model, go to the Summary or Settings tab. There should be a setting there that says Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC (the 128 kbps part may be adjustable). If that checkbox is checked, try unchecking it.
NOTE: This setting may allow more songs to fit on the shuffle, but for any converted song, the sound quality will become inferior. So I don't use it.

Is There A Way To LOCK Items To The Dock (to prevent accidental drag off)

Is there a way to lock items to the dock to prevent accidentally dragging them off? Every now and then, I'll accidentally drag something I just meant to click (really, I click too hard while moving my mouse) and I'll see a POOF as the icon disappears... which means I have to dig for it in the finder and replace it. D'oh!

run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock
to unlock it change true to false in the command.

Is it possible to plug ipad 2 with the smart cover on the dock station?

I'm wondering if the dock station can be used while Ipad2 is covered by the SmartCover?
Thank in advance for answers !
Greetings from France

I before I bought my case for my iPad2 I had the cover on it, in order to get it in the dock I had to slightly open the cover to seat the iPad on the dock then I could close it again. There is not enough room in the cradle to hold the iPad with the cover closed (tight fit without the cover), but I did not have to remove the cover to put it in, just open it.

HT4528 I pulled my iPhone out of the docking station/speakers and now the ring tones don't work. Anyone know a fix for this?

Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.

Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Do other sounds work?
Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them?

I have a good question does how many things we have in the dock station

Slow our computer down, I used to have a pc and the more you had on your taskbar the slower the system was. Does the same thing happen with my Imac or does it not matter. If it does slow things down I would like a recomendation on how many programs I should put in the dock station without affecting my systems's performance

Good questions!
You will only really be adding 512MB because you'll have to replace one of the 512MB's with the 1GB. If you are using that much ram for your everyday usage you should consider upgrading your ram to 2GB (2x1GB) modules. You will get a little better price on a 2GB kit, but you can upgrade 1GB now and one later if you wish.
The ScreenSaver "Options/Settings" like the Dock won't make any difference, but letting it run will.
If you go to: "Macintosh HD / Application / Utilities" you will see an App. called "Activity Monitor" open it to see all your processes. If you want you can drag a copy of the icon to your Dock same as other App's, it uses 10MB when open so quit when your not using it as well.

Is the docking station really needed?

Is it worth spending the additional money for this?

Thanks. Wanted to verify that. I just ordered my first nano yesterday for my daughter along with a fm transmitter, case, and itunes gift card. I was hoping on not having to spend anymore on this. Ill just pass on the docking station then.

I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

weird.
It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
Good night captfred!

Ejecting W520 from the docking station

Hello everybody,
This is a very silly question, but there in no eject button on the docking station for W520. I wonder what are the best practices to eject a laptop safely?
Thanks so much.

I wonder what are the best practices to eject a laptop safely?
Wasabi:
I used to encounter problems ejecting my W500 from its docking station, even when I did everything correctly. As a result, I got into the habit of shutting the darn computer off (completely), then ejecting it.
In his post above, Thetiv states that the W520s might be different, and might not have such complications when they are ejected. Quite possibly this is true, however, once bitten, twice shy... My personal 'best practice' is to turn the darn thing off before ejecting it.

I can't get my ipod touch to slide all the way down on a docking station. The ends the stick up on the docking station seem to prevent it from going all the way down. What do I do?

I can't connect my ipod touch to a docking station. The ends stick up on the docking station connection piece. I believe that is what is preventing my ipod from sliding down all the way. What am I doing wrong?

I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.
