Trunks between 2950s stop working and wont come back

I've seen this happen on 2 different 'pairs' of 2950s, so it's time to investigate. The scenareo:
simple trunk (no vlan definitions) between 2 2950s. 1 switch looses power, when power is restored, the switch that didn't lose power doesn't pass any traffic. The interface is up (link and administrativly up) the logs don't show anything other than the interface went down and came back up. here's a sample port:
interface FastEthernet0/23
description new Feed from phone room switch
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
I'm not using spanning-tree, there aren't any redunant paths. Its worked fine for months (until a ups failure), I set up a new port on the switch and swing the cable and it comes up. Any ideas?
thanks!

Hello,
I know this is an old post... but I am posting here in case this is viewed by anyone with a possible solution.
Our organization has multiple locations configured the same way:
(x2) cross connected 2950 switches in trunk mode, configured the follwing way per each interface (fa0/19):
interface FastEthernet0/19
no ip address
duplex full
speed 100
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
Our problem is similar to the one explained in this initial post. The switches are auto-trunked via port #19.
Let's call one switch "A" and one switch "B"
Whenever power is removed from one of the switches (Switch A), and it has completed a restart, the opposite switch (Switch B ..the one which was not powered off) will not return to a "Trunked" state. When you run the "show int status" command, it shows that the port is "connected". Even though the switch which was initially restarted returns to "Trunked" mode.
We have seen this with a few of our 2950's across the infrastructure.
The bottom line is that restarting one of the switches causes the other to lose the trunked state. The only was to correct the issue is to restart the opposite switch as well.
The IOS version is 12.1 (9) EA1d .. I know it's old, however we cannot upgrade it at this time due to policies within the organization.
Could anybody shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance..

Plug it into a wall outlet, let it charge for half an hour and then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

My ipod has just turned off and wont come back on

my ipod has just turned off and wont come back on but i know it had a good amount of battery left and if i plug it into my computer or docking station nothing happens please help...

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

Hi,
My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

Itunes stops working and wont play purchased tv shows, i tried the quicktime unchecking box fix and that didn't work. help

im new here trying to get help. my itunes stops working when trying to play tv shows and movies. i tried the quick time fix, unchecking a tab in the advanced section that didn't work for me. i have now uninstalled itunes that didn't work either. help

Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269. If Apple refuses because the damage is too extensive, buy a new phone.

My IPad went blank and will not come back on. Is there a reset button or procedure??

Try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

my iphone completely turned off and will not come back on, even when connected to the charger. how can i turn it back on?

Hello ozzy9294,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Best of luck,
Mario
