What is an accessorize test

what is an accessorize test

It is a test available in diagnostic mode on your iPod that allows you to test the connection of accessories to the iPod usually it's dock connector port.
If you need to know how to get out of this mode, you can simply reset the device. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • What is an "Accessorize Test" and how do I get out of it?

    When I turned on my 30GB iPod it started doing these test things and I figured out how to do them. But this one I'm stuck on. It says: "Please plug FW
    LCD ID : 1
    FWPWR : 0"
    Please Help!!!

    Sounds like you've entered the diagnostics mode.
    Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it & exit this mode.
    Cheers!

  • Froze on Accessorize Test!!! Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    my ipod is froze on an accessorize test and says "please plug FW"
    I have no idea what that means and i have no idea how it got on that page. The screen is white with black writing. I really don't know how to fix it. It wont reset and it wont connect to my computer. It is not responding in any way.
    Can someone please please please help me. What can i possibly do to fix it?

    What's an "accessorize test"?
    says "please plug FW"
    It says that (in those exact words) on the iPod's screen?
    If it's locked up with the screen ON and doing the two-button reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    does not work (no response), just let the iPod sit disconnected until the it goes off due to lack of power. Then connect it to charge and try using it normally.
    If does respond to doing a reset, but it keeps going back to an error screen, that is different from "not responding in any way." Please post back.

    Hey @dg3, 
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.  
    I see that you're curious about 'automatic servicing' when reviewing what looks to be a selection from a print quality issue article pertaining to your HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One printer.  I would like to help.  
    Allow me to answer your question as succinctly as I'm able: automatic servicing as a printer user's troubleshooting step is essentially doing nothing but allowing time, and other automated factors to intervene in resolving a print quality issue.  I'm sure that you have noticed that when you turn your printer on, it makes some startup sounds - these indicate that your printer is readying itself for the business of printing, ie. - the carriage is moving into place, the printheads are preparing themselves. Sometimes these automated functions can help resolve a printing issue.  Further, in the context of the article you're reading, sometimes the combined factors of time and powercycling your printer (turning off and on) will clear up minor print quality issues.  
    Does this satisfy your curiosity?  
    Also, since you were reviewing content from a troubleshooting article, do you require any assistance with your printer beyond what you've posted?  Please respond to this post with details if you have any further questions or concerns.  I'm always happy to help fellow Forum users.  
    Thanks again for posting in the HP Support Forum and have a great day!

    My ipod is completely stuck on the accessorize test. The 5 R's thing doesn't work and I can't go to any other screen or turn it off. The screen says " Please plug FW ". I don't even know what "FW" is.

    I am also frozen. Won't turn off stuck in a accessorize test mode, not even sure how I got here. Any help would be greatley appreciated.

  • Stuck in Diagnostic Test/Accessorize Test

    I turned on my iPod video today and I received the "Diagnostic Test" screen. I didn't know how to take it off that screen. I looked around and I clicked on Accessorize Test. Now I'm permanently stuck on that screen. It will not turn off, reset or connect to my computer when I plug it in. The backlight will also not turn off. Help? This is what the screen looks like.

    After numerous times of trying the "4 R's" (see tech support) it finally reset and is now working normally. I had it plugged in to the computer using the USB cable for about and hour and must have tried the reset at least 20 times when it finally worked. Yeah!

  • My ipod 30GB reads---Accessorize test :( PLAESE HELP!!!!!!

    PLEASE HELP ME! My ipodGB reads "accessorize test". below that it says "please plug FW, LCD ID:1, FWPWR:0" what do i do? i can not use it, or plug it into my computer...but the backlight stays on. i have tried to reset it many times. i also do not want to be charged to fix it . plaese help me, im lost without my ipod!

    Interesting, the link you were given has a similar test within it but to get to it you have to reset and then when the apple logo appears hold down the centre and the rev buttons. When you do that the apple logo reverses and you get a list of tests as shown in the link you were given. I'm guessing you haven't done that?
    I haven't ever seen a diagnostic test come up on screen without going into diagnostic mode but perhaps there is some simple test built in just to test accessories.
    Usually with the other tests you just do whatever is asked and you get a pass or fail. You can usually exit by doing a reset where necessary or sometimes by pushing the menu button but you've probably tried that.
    The other option is to do what it asks and see if you can exit by going through them.
    "Please plug FW" means plug in a firewire cable, connected to something probably, so if you have one, plug it in.
    LCD ID:1 simply means your screen is connected.
    FWPWR:0 means that your ipod is not drawing power via a firewire connection.
    If you plug in your firewire cable it should change to a 0.
    It is possible that will be the end of it or alternatively you will get another screen asking you to plug in your usb cable and possibly your head phones and a remote.
    Hopefully the remote test will be optional because you may not have one!
    In these kind of tests a 0 means no or not present and a 1 means yes or working ok or connected.
    Having written all this, probably the quickest way to find out how to stop it is to call Apple!
    If you get a test for the click wheel you will need to scroll it around and around several times until it says pass or possibly in both directions.
    You may get a "key test" which means just push all the buttons.
    Good luck and interested to hear what happens.

  • Accessorize Test Frozen with messge "Please plug FW"

    Upon turning on my IPOD it started to run through "8 diagnostics" tests. This went OK. It then went to the Accessorize test and is frozen. I have tried numerous times to Press the middle and menu buttons together but to no avail. Does anyone either know what an "FW" is or how to get around this?
    HELP!
    Thanx.

    I know this is from over a month ago, but I had this same issue this morning and found this answer:
    These five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
    1. Reset your iPod. (Hold Menu and center button together for 5 seconds)
    2. Retry with a different USB port.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software.
    5. Restore your iPod. (Done with the iPod Updater software and totally erases everything to start over from scratch.)
    The reset ended up working for me.

  • What does Apple HW Test really test about hard drive?

    My 2002 FP iMac was recently jolted. The internal hard drive is no longer recognized. Here is what I know:
    When I boot with the Apple Hardware Test CD which came with the computer, it does not recognize anything wrong with the hard drive.
    When I boot from an external hard drive, I get a dialog with buttons to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject the hard drive.
    When I open Disk Utility (external HD boot), it can see the disk, but says it is unformatted.
    I also downloaded a trial data recovery program and it could not find anything identifiable on the hard drive.
    I don't really know what the Apple Hardware Test program tests with the hard drive, so I don't know how to interpret the information I have.
    My questions:
    Is there any hope for salvaging anything from the hard drive? (Probably not?)
    Is the drive itself likely to be OK if I format and re-install my OS? (Is that what the HW Test is telling me?)
    I have not tried to format the drive, because there are a few things I would really like to salvage. I have also not opened it up to examine anything on the inside because I would not know what to look for.
    Suggestions for how to proceed will be welcome.

    The data on the ill-fated hard drive may be recoverable; could be
    there has been damage to the drive or the software on it that lets
    the computer read files from the drive.
    Some disk utilities such as Disk Warrior could see about trying to
    fix the drive; although if physical damages exist, it can't fix that.
    The booted OS X Installer's Disk Utility has options in the Installer
    menu bar (drop down menu to select other things, when not just
    reinstalling) and you could see if OS X's Disk Utility from the booted
    Installer disc could give you a status report on the drive in Verify, &
    also see what it says about 'Repair drive' when chosen to try a fix.
    Sometimes, the OS X's Disk Utility can't fix something, and at that
    point, other utilities (retail on DVD) may be able to. Then, the tossup
    is, whether or not you want to pay for the utility to fix an old drive, or
    put the money into a new one.
    Data Recovery software is available as download, so if the old hard
    disk drive were removed from the computer and a new drive put in,
    later on the failed drive could be investigated through use of software
    (such as those which can recover, then you pay to unlock results)
    and that is another way to consider addressing the old drive contents.
    Some would suggest, if you had Disk Warrior or some other disk utility
    that could fix the old drive good enough to try and get data off it, maybe
    even a full clone or just the files you need, then you would not need to
    get the data recovery software. Of course, that software which runs to
    see if you have recoverable files, can do that part for free.
    The AHT may see the drive is present, while not recognizing a
    failure in its firmware or in its directory, etc. Some kinds of disk
    utilities can try to rebuild and replace a damaged directory or
    other bits of software on the drive so it can be read again.
    Usually, the test for the hard disk drive is Disk Utility on the
    OS X Installer; and that gives you the boot version that sees
    even a healthy drive as an unmounted and repairable volume
    when it is correct and not beyond the limited ability of the utility.
    Hopefully something practical comes from all these words...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • When turned on says Accessorize Test and is locked.  How can I unlock and use it?

    when I turned my 30gb ipod on it says accessorize Test and is locked on this screen.  Any suggestions?

    Reset the iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Somehow the iPod start up in diagnostic mode, but the reset should bring things back to normal.

  • When making a function module, what is difference between test /unit test

    best regards,

    Hi,
    ABAP Unit Tests
    Structure of Unit Tests
    An ABAP Unit test unit (TU) can be a class, function pool, executable program, or module pool. You can call ABAP Unit for testing individual TUs from the Class Builder (SE24), Function Builder (SE37), ABAP Editor (SE38), and SE80. Mass tests can be carried out from the Code Inspector.
    You organize your tests into classes and then into test methods, which are all part of the TU. The system checks small units within the TU, hence the name ABAP Unit. The aim of a test method is to check whether a unit returns the desired result. For this purpose, there are methods of the service class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT that execute comparisons between target and actual values calculated by a unit. The results of all unit tests of a TU are then shown in the ABAP Unit result display.
    Example
    Let us look at an example to help clarify this. Our minimalist TU is a percentage calculator that delegates this task to a subroutine:
    REPORT  Percentages.
    PARAMETERS: price TYPE p.
    PERFORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING price.
    WRITE price.
    FORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING fprice TYPE p.
      price = fprice * '0.9'.
    ENDFORM.                    "Minus_ten_percent
    We add a test class to the report, which tests whether the subroutine correctly calculates the percentage for a specific value.
    CLASS test DEFINITION FOR TESTING.  "#AU Risk_Level Harmless
    "#AU Duration Short
      PRIVATE SECTION.
        METHODS test_minus_ten_percent FOR TESTING.
    ENDCLASS.                   
    CLASS test IMPLEMENTATION.
      METHOD test_minus_ten_percent.
        DATA: testprice type p value 200.
        PERFORM minus_ten_percent CHANGING testprice.
        cl_aunit_assert=>assert_equals( act = testprice exp = 180
                            msg = 'ninety percent not calculated correctly').
      ENDMETHOD.                   
    ENDCLASS.  
    The test class and the test method TEST_MINUS_TEN_PERCENT are recognized by the tool through the addition FOR TESTING. The additions "#AU RISK_LEVEL HARMLESS and "#AU DURATION SHORT are not optional comments but annotations containing required technical information. With RISK_LEVEL you specify to what extent, if at all, executing the test endangers critical data. The time is specified so that any tests in endless loops are automatically cancelled due to a timeout.
    In the transaction SAUNIT_CLIENT_SETUP, you can make settings for an entire system with regard to the RISKLEVEL of tests and the times assigned to the individual attributes that specify the permitted duration (DURATION: SHORT, MEDIUM, and LONG). For example, in some development systems you will want to prohibit tests that change important data. If the test is cancelled for any reason, it is possible that some data may be left with invalid values or in an inconsistent state. Therefore, you will set the permitted RISKLEVEL suitably low in such systems.
    Service of the Class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT
    As parameters, the service method CL_AUNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_EQUALS requires a target value and an actual value, which is the result of the tested calculation; it then compares the two values. The MESSAGE parameter should contain a text that explains what went wrong during the test. You can also pass a parameter with the service method CL_AUNIT_ASSERT=>ASSERT_EQUALS that specifies the severity of the error, as well as a parameter stating how to proceed if the test fails: Should the test method simply continue, or should the current test method, the entire test class, or all tests of the TU be canceled?
    In addition to this method, the class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT also provides other methods, which execute different checks and pass the results to the framework. Most importantly, you should note that you can use the parameters of the methods of the service class CL_AUNIT_ASSERT to control the flow of the whole unit test and include information in the test methods that will later provide you with important details about any errors in the result display.
    ABAP Unit Result Display
    On the left side of the result display, all the tests of your TU are grouped into a task. In our case, this is only one test class with a single method:
    Via the name of the method, you can see what parts of the test method caused errors during the test:
    The message you passed with the service method is displayed at the top. Below that, you can which values diverge and can navigate to the class via the stack line.
    In our example, a closer examination of the code reveals that the input parameter of the report was confused with the change parameter of the subroutine.

Maybe you are looking for
