The lights are on but there's nobody at home

I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 which is three years old and has largely been OK. In the last week or so the broadband has stopped working maybe 5 or 6 times a day. The blue light is on but there's no broadband either to our hard-wired desktop or to the wireless devices. I have to re-set the hub in order to re-establish the connection. Twice I have had to re-set the hub more than once in order to re-establish the connection. Phone line is fine and filters are all new. Any ideas?
Solved!

The lights are on but nobody is home

ok so i booted up my iBook the other day to find this problem, all the spiffy lights come on and i get the chime, the screen is lit up but nothing really happens.. i leave it for a while and i get an icon in the middle of the screen. I've tried the OS X discs but they spin up but don't boot.
http://www.monkey-junkie.com/stuff/DSC01020.JPG
that's a piccy of the icon. Any ideas on what is wrong and what is my next action?
Thanks

Papayafreak:
Command, Option, P, and R is the correct combination. Sorry
However, I am glad that you heard the chimes.
which did make it chime again and holding option made it go to a page with a refresh buttons and a next button, neither of which did anything.
If not boot volume icons appeared on the screen, it means that your boot volume is too badly corrupted to boot the computer. It may even indicate that you HDD is failing.
the disc doesn't boot up when i try, just the same thing.
You noted the above in an earlier post. Did you mean that you are unable to boot from the install disk or the internal HDD? If you are able to boot from the install disk, I would suggest trying to Repair Disk. If you are not able to boot from the install disk try the procedure outlined in the article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck.
In addition, if you do not have an up-to-date backup, we need to take care of that before proceeding much further.
Good luck.

BT say im connected and the lights are on but...

when i try to connect my webpage just does the circule thingy.
They have told me to change routers and cables which ive done but i know its a connection problem as my neighbour has the same problem from the same time (11am on 04/11/11)
When i ring bt broadband status line it says they are aware of a problem in my area which will be fixed in 2 hours then 2/3 hours later the message is gone but the connection still isnt working.

Suddenly all of the content is gone tho I did not delete any of it. (The apps are present but there's no content.

I had three pages of content in my "notes" app and several months of info in my "calendar".
Yesterday all the imput was gone, the apps are empty of my imput.
Can they be found/retrieved?
Thanks

I've had the same problem with notes. Also, after updating my iPad 2, all the text has disappeared from a book I bought to read in Books or iBook (Mickey Mantle biography). I've tried changing the font but to no avail. The title page and table of contents page are still visible. Can anyone help?

Brand New Satellite L55 Laptop - The Lights are on But Nobody is Home - Help!

I bought a Toshiba L55A5385 15 Laptop about a week ago. I opened it up and other than finding the new Win8 interface a little annoying, everything seemed to work fine. I transferred a ton of files onto it from my old laptop over the course of a few days and everything seemed fine.
I am currently on a "vacation". I decided to bring both my old laptop and the new Toshiba so I could get used to the new one and make sure I had everything transferred over. I took it out of my suitcase, attached the power supply cord and opened the lid. I pressed the power button and it lit up like normal, but nothing EVER flashed on the screen. It is black. Not a peep. Like it's not even attached. So, lights on, but unusable.
I spent a couple hours googling and I found a quite a few threads that looked like they could be the same issue, but none of them had definitive answers. I HOPING that someone here can help me. PLEASE tell me I didn't buy a piece of crap! (My first Toshiba)

See picture on how to reset for models that have an internal battery.
Tech support phone number is here : 1-800-457-7777 they just need model and serial number when you call.

The lights are on but nobody's home... or something like that

I just bought this iMac about a week ago. A few days ago the operating system froze up and I wasn't able to force quit anything so I had to power it off. I could hear it start back up again when I powered back on but nothing came up on the display. I took it back to best buy, where I bought it, and sure enough they plugged it in and it turned right on like nothing had happened. Took it home again and it worked fine. Today quicktime was updating and told me to restart the computer. I let it restart and had the same problem again. Took it back down to best buy, guy turned it back on, but this time the display will not become active again now that it is back home. I guess it likes it better at best buy, which is where I am taking it for good tomorrow unless someone can point me in the right direction! Any suggestions?

Try resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU):http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95165
Let us know how you get on.

*Solved* 870A-G54. The lights are on but no-one's home

Has been working fine and dandy for about 6 months. Unplugged a HD this afternoon, touched nothing else, and now won't restart/POST. Splash screen shows but hangs there and no beep
4 phase power leds are on
Fan is spinning
Splash screen is showing on Monitor
Ticking noise coming from somewhere but can't tell where
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

Very strange. I had already disconnected/reconnected all cables but thought I'd humour you by doing it again, and totally removed the HD I had disconnected/reconnected and it worked!
Thanks for the speedy reply , (just got to wait for Windows startup repair now... )

The lights are on but no ones home!

This morning I updated my firmware. I let it run while I was getting ready for work and when I came back the imac was asleep. I tried to wake it up, which it did but the screen stayed black. I could tell the Mac was awake as I could open iTunes using the remote. I tried shuting down using control-eject-enter and then starting up again which it does but the screen stays black and the power light stays on. Tried starting off CD but nothing shows.

Hi,
I have sucessfully upgraded to leopard on my iMac. Smooth easy transition.
However when i tried to upgrade my partners macbook pro - i encountered a major error.
10 Mins into install my macbook ejected the disk voluntarily and crashed. I re-booted / and started up again. Greeted by blue screen and loading icon. 30 mins later sill no signs of life.
Tried a second boot - again no sucess.
Third attempt I booted with "T" - refused to acknowledge this command and many others.
Macbook is sitting looking awfully sorry for itself, blue screen, loading, please please please tell me this can be resolved :S
It has applecare etc only its my partners macbook and if he finds out he will kill me - ekk
Thanks

Shut down and start up holding the Option key. This will take you to the Start-up Manager. You should then be able to insert the Install DVD and choose it to start up from.
BTW, I when I first installed Leopard I (1) Repaired Permissions. (2) Repaired Disk. (3) Chose Archive & Install. I did this on 2 different iBook G4 1.42 MHz. Both computers experienced difficulties, one to the point of being nearly unusable. A visit to the Genius Bar met with the advice to Erase & Install. This was done, but the issues were only completely resolved by the 10.5.1 update (from Apple Downloads, not software Update.) What more could I have done initially to avoid these problems? In my opinion I did everything 'Right'. Also the opinion of the Applecare Tech I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with.

I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

My iPod no longer appears as folder/file in Itunes when connected. Library, genius, playlists, etc. are present, but there is no longer cross reference with the iPod itself. Help!?

I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are pages where the number of the page does not appear. How I can solve this problem? I thank you very much for any tip.

I created a book at the Ibooks author. But there are some pages which the number of page is not visible. What can I do to see the number of the page?

Have you changed the template?
Some pages may not have numbers in place as default. If you have changed the page or the template page, you may have added a object which as pushed the number out of view, or an image may be in a layer on top of the text.
If you select one object on the page...then go to Edit, select all, you should see the outlines of any content no matter that content may not be seen. Look at the bottom for a page width rectangle outline.. IF its there, you need to shuffle the content until you find that box, and use Arrange > bring to front.

I have problem syncing my music to ipad. Most of the songs are duplicated but only in ipad. I checked the music library in itunes and there didn't have the duplicated songs like in the ipad. I can not delete the duplicated songs inmy ipad.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Do they play in iTunes?
Can you directly redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
