Way to keep Clock always on when docked?

When I first got the nano, I somehow managed to keep the clock always on when it was docked and charging. However, I have not been able to make this work anymore and I don't know what has changed.
It would be nice to dock the nano at night and have a clock face continually show while it's docked and charging, as I use it for my alarm clock.

I just discovered what was going on. Apparently my dock (a JVC model) is somehow causing the iPod nano to stay on continuously when docked, AND powered on. This does not work in standby mode. But suffice it to say, when the nano is docked, I can use the remote to turn the nano on with the unit, and the backlight will stay on until I turn off the dock with the remote again (standby), at which point the nano goes off too.
The nano charges while the dock is in standby mode, but the backlight will not stay on.
So somehow, it is possible to tell the nano to keep the backlight on, via some kind of external signal from the dock, which seems to have nothing to do with having an external power supply attached.
Whatever the reason I have my nano alarm clock back. Now if only it had an alarm sound that sounded continuously until I shut it off ... Good thing I'm a light sleeper.

  • Is there a way to keep the ADL open when testing CS5.5 Air apps after it loses focus?

    When I test Air applications (specifically targeting mobile) it seems that when the ADL (Air Debug Launcher) launches, it will automatically terminate the session when I click on anything else other than the ADL window.  I have been trying to use 3rd party application debuggers that provide improved memory diagnostics, but these debuggers only seem to be able to work when the application is launched through the Flash Player and not through the ADL.  Unfortunately, the Air specific code will only work in the ADL.  Is there some way to keep the ADL running even when it loses focus?  I have tried using the ADL from the Flash CS5.5 IDE as well as from the command line and both will terminate upon losing focus.

    - Transfer the app to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also update the iPod.

  • Way to Turn on MacBook Pro When Docked?

    Is there any way to power on my MacBook Pro when it's docked/connected to my display? It's frustrating to have to take the MacBook Pro out of its stand, open up the lid, hit the power button, close the lid, and then return it to its stand. Is there perhaps some trigger keyboard shortcut I can hit on my external keyboard?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi, I have been thinking about the same issue, keeping the macbook closed while working with the external display.Keeping the macbook in sleep seems to work oke. A mouseklik is enough to activate the system. Was just wondering is it advisable to keep the macbook in sleep for days or even weeks. Will it not harm the system?
    Thanks,

  • ITunes 4.8 and system clock freeze up when docking my iPod

    Hi. Here are the details of my problem:
    When the iPod is already docked and charging and THEN I launch iTunes I get the dock bounce once or twice (usual) and the tiny black up arrow under the green iTunes icon is the dock indicating a running app. Sadly, I get no iTunes window, the system clock in the top right corner of the screen freezes, and the mouse arrow turn to spinning beach ball only when I move the mouse over said frozen clock. No other problems though. All other apps work fine even if already launched. This happens every time and has been for weeks now.
    Current workaround:
    Even if the clock has been frozen for hours with a stalled iTunes launch, at the EXACT moment I pull the iPod from the dock the iTunes app come up with my library selected, as it should, and the corner clock resumes with correct time just fine. If I dock the iPod at this point it all syncs up just fine, as usual. Similarly, if I wait to dock the iPod for syncing or just charging purposes AFTER iTunes has already been launched I have no problems, ever.
    Weird. What gives?

    Laura,
    For what it's worth it feels nice to know I not the only one. I restored and wiped my iPod a few time too with, unfortunately, no change. The problem continues.
    It remains true for me that if iTunes has already been launched when i dock the iPod I have no problems. But if I launch iTunes with an already docked iPod it's freeze up city for me.
    Is it possible that we're the only two people with this issue? We need to find strength in numbers if a fix is to be uncovered or programed by apple.

  • CS3, Any way to keep image matte fixed when moving matted track?

    OK, I saved my best for last.  Many of my edits include split screens or other multiple images (e.g., cameo circle).  Let's use a left half-right half example.  I use an image matte consisting of a PS half black-half white .psd file (merging all layers when importing to PR).  Video 1 gets one of the images to be split, Video 2 gets the other (as well as the Track Matte key).  The matte itself is in Video 3 (and the Track Matte key is configured to find it there).
    Whenever I need to apply Motion to Video 2, be it up, down, sideways, or scale, the matte moves with it.  I need to apply a complementary Motion to the matte track.  This is most annoying.  I want a #^%@ half-and-half split screen.  I did it this way with 6.5 for years.  At least 6.5 had the good sense to decouple the matte from the matted track.
    So:
    What am I missing?  Someone must have thought coupling the tracks was a good idea, even if I can't see it.
    Is there some way to decouple the two a la 6.5?
    If not, is there some other way to achieve what I want that avoids this frustration?
    Thanks for any insights.

    Larry,
    Another Bruce Hornsby moment ("That's just the way it is").
    Had not thought of Bruce Hornsby, but that's a very good tie-in. You need to get points for that one!
    Yes, many struggled with the "new & improved" Track Matte Keying behavior. "Feature" for some, and "anathema" to others. That happens when many file feature requests and have not passed those through the forum folk for comment first. Happens all the time. Sometimes, a new feature will break an old standby. Probably no one in development tested all scenarios, and thought they HAD improved something.
    I had no idea what a Sequence was, nor what Nesting meant.  So I did the sensible thing and RTFM.  Wow!, my head's still spinning.  It's gonna take some experiments in a sandbox project to get all that straight.  Once I do, your suggestion will no doubt be very useful.
    I probably should have gone into a bit more detail, but the Adobe server was kicking me off with greater frequency than usual, so I was trying to get the general info to you.
    See, that manual is more than a paperweight! Actually, I'm a book-guy, so I usually fly with one of my manuals in the briefcase. Regardless of how many times I've read it, there is still an "aha moment," as I either discover something new, or finally find the right application from something that did not make complete sense with previous readings.
    Hope that it all works, as it should ["should" referring to how things are now... ]
    Wait until you go to Export a Still Frame in CS4. Once more, you'll wish for the "good old days." At least this was mostly fixed with CS4.1. Just be prepared for a "gottcha," when you upgrade and find that things have changed again.
    Good luck,

  • X220 with mSATA ssd always freezes when docks/undock from the docking station

    When I try to dock or undock the X220, the laptop freezed, nothing esle you can do but reboot the computer.
    It's really annoying. the laptop works fine if you don't do the dock/undock when it's running.
    I think the BIOS should be the latest one.
    Docking: ThinkPad 0A33932 for X220
    Laptop: X220I5-25404G80G(msata)+320GWin7Pro-32
    Is anyone here who have the same problem or any suggestions?
    Any reply appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sven

    Hello,
    A few things to check:
    Make sure that both the X220 and the mSATA SSD have the latest BIOS/firmware installed
    Make sure X220 has latest ThinkVantage device drivers and Microsoft OS updates installed
    Try running a CHKDSK on the SSD
    Even if those don't solve the problem, knowing that you've checked them will help rule those out as issues.

  • Is there a way to keep the display on when plugged into power?

    My Nexus had this option....but I don't see it on the Note 3.  At this point, I'm not having any issues, I have the display on the brightest, live wallpapers, gps, Bluetooth.....just about everything turned on, and it's sooooo much more efficient than my Nexus....I couldn't go anywhere w/o an external battery pack.  Over night, w/o power, I'd wake up w/ the Nexus at 60-70%....now w/ the note 3 it might be 96%....it's great...now I don't walk around looking like a suicide bomber w/ wires from phone to external battery....but I WOULD like the Note 3 to stay alert when it's plugged in to power.

    Hi,
    My iPod is new and has latest software installed.
    The settings of the iPod should keep the light on when docked in iPod-Hifi (main menu-loudspeakers-always on). However, after about ten seconds the light turns off when docked. The light stays turned on when undocked. The timer settings for light are set to always on. Can somebody help and knows what I have to do to keep the light turned on when docked? Thanks.

  • DW CS5 Mac10.7.x: keep DW windows visible when DW not at front?

    When DW is the front-most app, all currently-open DW windows are visible.
    Switch to another app, including the Finder, all DW windows disappear.
    Any way to change this behavior?  Any way to keep DW windows visible when it is not the front-most (active) app?
    Why do I ask?  For one thing, as it stands, I find it very difficult to document something that's going on in DW, say in a forum -- this one!

    But are they different document types?  When you create a new document are you trying different types like XHTML 1.1, HTML5, HTML4, etc?  The more details you can provide the more likely the problem will be fixed.  Currently I am using CS5.5 on a Mac and the validation works for me in multiple types so the more you can tell Adobe when you submit the bug report the better.

  • Always start when power applied?

    In the Energy Saver pref pane there is the option to "Restart automatically after power failure"
    Is there a way to have it always restart when power is applied (even if it has been shut down properly)?

    Did you select the options tab of the energy saver preference and look for the check box there? You may need to make sure that "power adapter" is selected in the drop down menu that appears.

  • Is there a way to keep the nano (Clock face) ON all the time?

    Hello all.
    I know this may sound silly, and definitely a drain on the battery life.
    (But) I like my nano Clock face "always on", it's good to look at anyway, with all the new clock faces.
    I thin the nano "defaults" and the screen fades to black in a certain amount of time.
    Is there a way to
    Keep it "lit" and stay "always on"? OR
    Prolong the "screen lit time"?
    Thanks and cheers

    Hey Everyone,
    DISCOVERED THE ANSWER!!!!!
    I recently got one of these fun little squares and I just figured out (what seems to be) a simple way to keep the clock face on. (Though, I certainly agree with the comments about the ultimate impracticality of doing so for a long time, as the the battery in this thing only has so much to give.)  I'm running the latest update on it.
    This seemed too easy to believe when I did it! No need to keep it empty of music! No need to keep it in Fitness running! I think this works because the clock face, stop watch, and timer are all in the same segment of it's little nano operating system.
    If you turn on the stopwatch then switch back to the clock face, it will stay fully illuminated as long as the stopwatch is running. I think the limit on the stopwatch is 24 hours, but my guess is your battery is going to be dead long before that. I'd recommend setting the brightness super low if you're going to do this.
    Anyway, problem solved if you want to keep it lit for however long you like. (of course you have to sacrifice the stopwatch)
    Enjoy!!
