Window turns green after a few seconds -Help-

Ok, I'm certain that my qt drivers are up to date. Whenever I try to play ANY video file in qtplayer, the window does this really strange panning of green until its entirely full. Then the player freezes and the audio gets real choppy. I've got no choice but to close it out (which i can only do from the task manager) and try to boot the player again. Does it every time and I can't watch but a few seconds of video. I'd love some help with this pleeeease!

Green screen video (as opposed to a normal video playback) nearly always indicate a problem with the video card or its drivers.
There really isn't a QuickTime driver.

My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off. But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.

I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help.

If what Allen says does not fix the issue I have seen this as a Hardware issue and I would get into an Apple Store if it is close by

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

My iPhone does not automatically turn off after a few seconds. This new behavior. Is there a setting for this?

Yes, Settings>General>Auto-Lock

Korg micro37 keyboard turns off after a few seconds

Hi all,
My Korg micro37 keyboard turns itself off after about 4 seconds after I plug the keyboard in. Any idea why this happens? It doesn't happen on a Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, but does on another Arch laptop with 3.7.1 kernel. I had the same problem with 3.5.x kernels. Thanks.

So I did call Apple. That was pointless since they had no idea what was wrong. I made an appointment with a Genius at the Apple store nearest to me. The associate who checked me in said his wife had the same problem (and discovered it while on an 8 hour flight, which stinks).
The genius who helped me was great. He had no idea what the issue was and hadn't heard of the issue before, so he took my phone into the back room and ran some diagnostics.
He found that there was nothing wrong with the hardware at all, but he noticed an error with my firmware.
He restored my phone (while my phone was plugged into itunes he held down the home and wake/sleep buttons. Then when the apple logo appeared he let go of the sleep/wake button but kept the home button pressed). This erased everything. I wasn't worried about that since all my contacts, apps, and music were backed up on my computer.
I guess he reinstalled the latest firmware and os update. He put a couple of albums worth of music on there too for me to test it. Problem solved.
It took an hour or two for me to get everything back onto my phone and in its proper place.
That was a pain, but worth it since I can now listen to music freely with no interruption.
The only thing I'm really ****** about is that my game data is all erased. Apparently when you back up your apps in itunes, it doesn't back up your progress/saves/scores in your games. I have about 30 games on my phone so this really, really *****. I guess I will just have to replay all the levels in Angry Birds, Peggle, Cut the Rope, etc. Lost a lot of progress in Infinity Blade which is pretty especially awful.
I just listened to about a half hour of music with no interruptions though, so I guess its a fair trade.
Good luck.

My video previews turns black after a few seconds

I have Skype version 7.4. and use it to Skype with my sister. When I first start the video conversation, my image appears in the little box. Within a few seconds, the image disappears and I have a black/blank box. I am using a Logitech camera that's only a few weeks old. Why does my image disappear and how do I permanently fix this problem?

Music fades and turns off after a few seconds of playback.

I've noticed an odd problem with the ipod/music function of my iphone 4. When start an album, the first song will play for about 15 seconds. After that, the music fades and stops all together. I have to physically go back and push play again. It will play fine for some time, but this will happen again randomly.
It's particularly annoying when using the phone in the car. I know the iphone automatically does this if you unplug the headphone jack while the music is playing. I wonder if something could be wrong with that mechanism, maybe the jack.
I also only noticed this after updating to 4.3. If it's a 4.3 issue hopefully the next update (4.3.1?) will fix it.
Has anyone else had this issue/figured out what its all about?

HT203433 I have done all of the above and neither my IPod or IPad will auto down load book smaples. The Auto switches just turn off after a few seconds.

I have tried to follow the steps and everything the HELP steps say to do is completed. Yet the slide "on" switches on both the iPad and iPod will not stay in the on position. They immediately slide to off. I get the error message they must be turned on........ Is there some other setting or trick to this? I want to preview boooks from itunes store. The version of iBooks is the latest also. Even though my job involves computer programming, I find these Apple products have such limited support for such expensive objects. I have had two college students check this to avail also, one of whom just graduated with a computer science degree...... Very discouraging

I have tried all the steps in the users guide except the restore as new. The reason I have not taken the time to do this two new devices do not work. When I got the iPod back in December, it did not work. I was taking an international trip and wanted to see some book samples and could not. I have been busy since the trip and haven't taken time to try to trouble shoot. Now my company gave me a iPad for being a very long term employee and it does the same thing. That is why I spent hours reading the FAQs, etc, trying to make the switches stay on. That is why I do not think it worth the time to reset as new.. Being a computer tech, It appears to me that the problem lies in the iTunes program on my desktop, rather than both new IOS devices.
Thanks in advance for the thoughts and suggestions.

Finder and application windows, become inactive after a few seconds

I just finished restoring a G4 from a disk crash, installed new disk drive and a clean OS X 10.3.9. Than I restored the user's home directory and all end user applications. I am not exactly sure when I noticed this behavior, but I performed the basic troubleshooting steps below already :
• Removed any third party System Control panel
• AppleJack complete routine
• Removed Finder plist
• Switched to another user, with same result
• Booted up in SAFE MODE, no change either
• Reviewed system logs and other logs, and found no hint to his problem
• Monitored Activity Viewer for unknown services running
About every 15 seconds, the foremost window becomes grayed out/inactive. Clicking on it makes it active again, and if you start typing anything, it will not complete, due to the window going inactive again.
I have researched the net, but found not similar issue reported.
So if anyone can shed some light on this, short of re-installing the OS, it would make my long day or night by now.
Thanks in advance.

Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

Satellite M100-165 cannot shutdown - turns itself on after a few seconds

Hello!
I have the same or very similar problem to those described in threads:

Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=109125]
When I try to turn off my Satellite M100-165 ("Turn Off" in Windows or even by pressing the power button while I'm in BIOS) it turns on after a few seconds. It doesn't turn on when it works on batteries. It also doesn't turn on when I press the power button for 4 seconds.
I tried to recover system with recovery CD (Windows XP Home). I also tried it with Windows Vista. Still the same.
Actually I have BIOS version 2.90 (upgraded from version 1.90 as far as i can remember) but with earlier version the problem also existed.
I think that when I had BIOS version prior to 1.90 this problem didn't existed (but I can't remember number of that version).
Thank's for all suggestions.

Hello
It is very unusual issue and, for me, there is no some simply explanation. It will be interesting to know what Toshiba experts say about this. Make a call and let us know what they say.
The strange is that the same happen with two different operating systems. I cannot say for sure why this happen but your notebook is somehow confused and obviously change shutdown with restart. If this is result of BIOS update service people should know about this.

Stor.E access point stops working after a few seconds

Purchased a Stor.E Wireless Adapter and followed instructions but after turning the device on by connecting to USB power using supplies cables, WIFI access point disconnects after 4 or around seconds.
1. i connect the device to usb power
2. Power light blinks green and stays on
3. wireless light becomes green and stay on, turns off after a few seconds
Managed to connect to it using the mobile app a few times, while its on, but since the WIFI point disconnects, cannot use it.
Any thoughts ?

1. i connect the device to usb power
The Stor.e Wireless Adapter should be connected to mains power and the other end to the external HDD.
Then you could use the app to access the content wirelessly.

TS3367 I am using Ipad mini face time with another Ipad user in Shanghai, but after a few seconds, I got black screen, saying poor connection and that's it. Very frustrated. Any idea?

I am having problems of using Face time. I signed in and connected with another Ipad Mini in Shanghai, but while the other side could see me all the time, my screen turned black after a few seconds, and saying "poor connection". It happened all the time, I started to use skype, but it is crazy of having a new mini, and having this device. It is very frustrating.

Find a location with a faster Internet connection. The slow connection message is telling you you have a slow connection or one that's too busy.

Hello warhogs17,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
