TC switches off after start

Hello community,
I have a problem with my Time Capsule now since approx 4 Weeks.
It runs perfect for a period of time, but anyhow it switches off suddenly.
Usually I just plug it off the power supply and after I plug it in again, it works.
Now it seems to start again (green light, then it switches to yellow) but then it does not switch into green light.
It switches off instead.
It is the time capsule model of 2010 with the latest software update.
Can someone help me what`s the problem and how I can solve it?
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Your TC is dead.. it has a dead power supply. The only way to fix it is to replace the supply.
What model is it.. please tell me the model A1xxx from the first line molded into the rubber base??
It is unusual failure for A1355 but absolutely normal for A1302.
Tell me the above info and I can suggest a fix maybe.. but you will need to pull it apart yourself and buy a new power supply.. plenty on ebay.
See ifixit instructions.

Optical audio in Lion switches off after 30 seconds

I have a new iMac 27" Computer purchased November 2010 with Snow Leopard on. I have upgraded to Lion OS the day it came out.
When I started using it, I noticed that the Optical steam (red beam) would switch off after roughly 30 seconds. I researched this issue and found that OS X powers down the Sound Hardware after 30 seconds if not used, as it is fine under Bootcamp with Windows 7.
So I used a program called Sound 1.0,1 to stop the Optical connection switching off, by playing a silent sound every 20 seconds. But now Lion does not support PowerPC programs by Rosetta, so am back to the original problem, that if the hardware has switched off, I miss the first 2 or 3 seconds of the start of the audio, like Skype announcing that some has signed in / out or on MSN as a message notification.
Any ideas to sort this annoying problem be most grateful.
Peter

Thanks for your help Andrew.
Have tried that and seems to be working at the mo (touch wood). See how it goes.
Can't tell you what a difference it is compared to the monitors speakers.
Thanks Again

My phone switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen during the restore process and then shows the error 9 problem. please help i am so stressed.

Hello
My iphone 4S switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen cutting through the apple logo during the restore process and then right after my iTunes shows the error 9 message, this happened 2 days ago when my phone just switched off unexpectedily and has been in this recovery mode since then. i have watched videos on Youtube and i have disabled Firewall before starting the process, i think i have done almost everything. please help anyone what do i do from here?
Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.
Regards

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.

IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

"I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

Muvo N200 Switches off after 1 tr

I'm experiencing a very very irritating problem with my player. It just switches off after playing single track. This problem only surfaced after using for approximately for 2 - 3 months. The other irritating part is that I couldn't access Recovery Mode and thus could not do any firmware upgrade, etc. Anyone can help me on this issue or must I return to Creative to have it RMA ? Thnx

Not if you don't have any problems with .2.0.
Some people will like .5.0 because it gives support for 3 levels of sub-folders which then allows sync with WMP0. But it also changes the volume scale which others don't like!

Switch off after 20%

Hi ,
For the last two days, i m facing this issue, my iphone4S switch off after battery level goes just below 20%. I need to charge it again to switch ON the mobile.
I have upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 two weeks back. Can anyone please help me, your help will be highly appreciated.

Try fully discharging (until it shuts off) and then fully recharging (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter. You may need to do this a few times.

Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this. It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue. But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.

E52 Switches off automatically - starts after mult...

Hi everyone,
My nokia E52 switches off automatically and restarts only after I try multiple times. There is no strict pattern in either switching off or on. It can switch off in hours or in minutes. Similarly, I keep trying pressing the power button, but it switches on whenever it wants.
I can't even understand what the problem is.
My battery is fully charged.
Could anyone please suggest, if it is an issue with the battery or the phone and what might be the solution to this.
Best Regards
-Vipul

Whilst it is working suggest that you backup essential data via Nokia Suite upon PC, then remove memory card (if any) and reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user). Lastly if no improvement see if option to re-install existing device software in Nokia Suite, as a pre-cursor to taking device to a Nokia Care facility.

IMac turning on and switching off during start-up after partitioning

Hi,
I tried installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on my iMac. During the partitioning process I got the spinning beach ball and the computer switched off.
After which, I tried powering on the iMac again and the apple logo is displayed for about half a minute and then the computer restarts. This is happening constantly!! I have tried resetting the SMC by unplugging the mains and the keyboard and mouse, but the same thing keeps happening.
What can be the problem?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Xfce - Display doesn't switch off after specified period of time.

I have strange problem with power manager. When I set switch display off when computer is in-active it sometimes work and sometimes not. I've noticed that it works for some period of time right after it was set( eg. I set it to switch display off after 5 minutes, so it will work once).
Problem started to appear after I installed xscreensaver. I disabled power managing from xscreensaver but it didn't helped.
Any ideas what it might be, or where should I look for reson?

Hello,
I had this problem before and after installing xscreensaver. In the end I disabled monitor contol in power manager (and left power manager to manage the hard drive) and enabled monitor control in xscreensaver. It works fine for me. I'm using a macbook 7,1 with Arch 3.15.5-2 but have had my set up like this for a while now.
Hope that helps.

Nokia CK-7W Car Kit won't switch off after switch...

Hi,
I have a CK-7W car kit (connected via bluetooth).
Recently, the car kit has been reconnecting 2 to 3 seconds after switching the engine of the car off. I cannot seem to stop this from happening, even when clearing memory or even disconnecting the car battery for 20 mins.
Any advice on how to reset the car kit would be helpful.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the response.
The car kit was installed by a Car Phone Warehouse Nokia approved fitter about 4 years ago The kit has worked really well until recently!
The contol button doesn't seem to be stuck in and responds as it should to button presses. In terms of the cable being squashed or damaged. Obviously there is a chance, but in actual fact, only an inch is on show before it is hidden behind the dashboard. In this instance I'm not sure what damage might occur since I don't know how to remove the dash!
Apologies, I'm not certain I understand your comment re:
- "You can rule out the button by disconnecting it then starting the car and connecting, before switching off the car to see if the kit shuts down."
How do I disconnect the button? Does it pull away from the lead / cable?
Many, many thanks for your help,
Chris

Tecra A4 won't boot - switches off after 3 seconds

Hey all,
I really hope you can help me on this. Recently I bought a cheap Laptop Toshiba Tecra A4 at Ebay. It was said there is a hard drive defect only...it's not.
When I try to switch the laptop on the lamps go on and the DVD drive starts to spin..everything normal. But then after about 3 seconds it switches off before it can reach the bootscreen - like I would remove the power cable.
The very weird thing is that sometimes, let's say every 1 of 15 tries the laptop starts like it should and boots up from my linux live-CD. Then I can work for hours and nothing bad happens ... until I want to switch it on again. Then the game starts from the very beginning.
I already tried to:
- remove the defect hard disk
- remove the power cable only
- remove only the battery
- replace the RAM or use only one of the two
- to remove both RAM
- remove the power cable and the battery overnight to reset the CMOS
...nothing changed.
I would be very pleased if anyone could help me. So far I found only unanswered forum entries with that problem in the WWW - so at least, I am not the only one going mad :-)
Thanks a lot
Hans

I can't promise that this advice will be of any use to you but your symptoms seem similar to a problem that I had with my Tecra S3 when I tried to run it on battery only after an extended period (months) running only on its docking bay. I found that the battery was not charging properly and ceased to charge after it got to approximately 23% and would fail suddenly under use without giving any warning of battery depletion. When trying to restart the laptop, (before I had determined that the battery was faulty), I had symptoms similar to those you describe relating to shutting off before reaching the boot screen.
I would recommend you try running without the old battery present in the chassis, if the A4 will allow that. If that works for any duration exceeding the short limits you have been experiencing, I would try and temporarily source another battery (preferably with a provable 100% charge) from any source that you can manage. If this proves to be beneficial, you may need to invest in your own new battery. But if not you may have another issue with the physical connection between the power cable jack point and the battery (maybe a dry solder joint that is temperature sensitive). To determine that would probably require Toshiba hardware technical support, or at least knowledge of the motherboard circuits and some circuit testing tools. It could be costly as well.
The very least you need to be able to do if you can restart the laptop for any length of time is to determine the state of the battery using any tools you may have on your Linux live-CD. You might investigate the BIOS version of the A4 and see if that helps by upgrading the ACPI interfaces, but a BIOS upgrade could be risky if you can not get reliable power.
Hope that helps.
Regards Tony

HT1343 the numeric pad is switched off after pressing the option key 5 times; could that be prevented?

after working in Photoshop, where I press the option key a lot, the right side [numeric board] is switched off.
I wish to prevent that not so handy action bij Apple

The I/O error normally indicates that the hard drive got damaged. Make a backup of your data with Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. Also, you can install the hard disk yourself, buying the hard drive at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
