Works in dock - not when not

My Iphone is working fine when it is docked and connected to a power supply. When I remove it, it may work for 10 minutes then freezes. If I try to do a hard start, then it reloads with the word "searching" in the left hand corner and just sits there. Place it back in the dock with a hard start and when it comes back up works fine. What gives?

have you tried to restore the phone?
that may work if not you may need to get the phone replaced (should be covered)

IPhone 4, works while charging, crashes when not

Hi,
So I have an iPhone4 and it keeps crashing. It is fine while it is charging but as soon as I take it off the charger it crashes. What could it be?
Trying to wait for the new iPhone but this is a huge problem.
NKM14

The same this has happened to me as of 6-7 weeks ago. I thought it might have been a new app I downloaded within the preceding fortnight but even removing this didn't fix it.
It also tells me at times that there is no battery with the 'plug in screen' coming up, but when I plug it in it can have anything up to 100% battery.
When it crashes, I push the top button, the Apple logo comes up (like the turning on screen) and I can see the previous window that had been displaying at the moment of the crash still imprinted on the screen. The only thing that will ensure smooth running is when it is plugged into a power source and yet I've had the occasional crash that way too.
When not plugged in and it does run there is a constant flicker at the bottom half of the screen.
As far as I can tell it appears to be an issue with the update of ios from 7.1.1 and up. Is there anyway that an Apple rep could confirm or deny it?
Or offer a possible solution to help fix it?

Damaged magsafe charger still working (light glows even when not plugged into MBP) - safe to use?

Hello,
This is going to sound ridiculous but i accidentally let the end of magsafe 85w charge fall into a bowl with some melted ice cream left in it..... i didn't notice at first until i saw it lying with the charging light glowing despite not being connected to the macbook. i turned it off at the mains and cleaned it out as best i could with a q-tip and a toothbrush to try and get away any excess - there still appears to be some balck residue around the pins, im not sure if this is from the ice cream, or something to do with the electronics being fried in some way.
Anyway, apart from an occasion when i was cleaning it and there was a small spark and a very small stream of smoke (almost unnoticeable) as I initially forgot to unplug it from the mains , it seems to be working somewhat normally again. it charges my macbook and the light turns off when its disconnected but it changes from orange to green randomly sometimes when it is connected.
My main question is, is this dangerous to my macbook to use in this state and if so how? i intend to replace it eventually regardless but at the moment i cant afford to pay the steep £65 price tag for a new charger.
i understand that the charger may eventually stop working but i dont want it to short out my macbook or something - apologies if any of the steps taken above seem idiotic, i really dont know what im doing in the area of fried electronics.....
thanks for any help.

So long as the charger is NOT connected to a AC wall outlet, soaking it in penetrating oil will not harm it.

is the electronics cleaner you are referring to the kind that uses a straw to expel pressurised air into the device to clean it?
Some do come in that configuration but I doubt that you can use the 'pressure' to your advantage. The objective is to get the liquid behind the pins and I think you can only do that by soaking it in a container that is well sealed. The liquid otherwise will evaporate quickly.
Understand that this is what I would try to do if I were well up the Amazon River with no other alternative. A new charger guarantees that it will work. This may not.
Ciao.

6th gen ipod nano works in docking station but not out of it

My ipod nanoworks in the docking station and connects to the PC but when i remove it from a power source the screen is blank. Any ideas?

So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or Mac, a docking station, or when connected to a wall charger? If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less. Here is Apple's pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/

Wifi doesn't work on macbook pro when not on home wifi

I recently have encountered a problem - when I take my 2013 macbook pro Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 flash drive. I have no problem accessing wifi in my office but when I travel with my macbook pro and try to access wifi at locations I have had connections with before, I am unable to search. The triangle is clearly connecting with the wifi and the drop down shows that the correct connection has been reached. However, my dropbox icon is gray which is an indication that there isn't an internet connection and I have no access to firefox or safari. Please advise.

Ah, that's OK then.

Repeating note when notes are played in chords by keyboard

I just got a pair of midi-to-usb cable to connect my Casio Privia PX-120 keyboard to my laptop and trying to do some music in garageband.
It's detected by garageband and I can play notes from the keyboard and the sound is played back from the computer end. connection is in good shape. But when I tried to play normally, like some chords, whatever the effect in garageband is, it always gives two playbacks of sound. one is when the keys are hit, then other is when the keys are released. This confuses me so much. Would anyone happen to know what happened? I am sure this is not rare since I have seen some similar issues that some of the folks out there have experieneced.

I just find one thing more bizzare. When I connect the px-120 with the midi-usb cable and open up the garageband. Sound plays perfectly. However, when I run on all the keys. some will sustain longer and it will show up on the garageband's keyboard window that the note is pressed (not released). When I step on the pedal, it even plays a E note for me. This is insane
I found some video on youtube that this model of keyboard is working fine with PC's reason 4

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

IPhone 4 not working in docks/car stereo anymore...

Hi guys,
I've done a lot of searching and it seems I'm not along with this issue, although none of the previous solutions have worked for me.
My iPhone 4 (os6) has recently stopped working with docks - in that, it'll charge but now allow any music playack, all of a sudden
This is a major problem for me as it also means it no longer works in conjunction with my car stereo!
So far I have;
-: cleaned the dock connector on the iPhone and on the car lead
-: tried different iPhones in my car (with the same setup - 4 + os6) in my car and they work fine
-: tried resetting and restoring my iPhone from backup, twice
-: tried the iPhone in different docks at home with no luck
Any idea why this is happening? Any suggestions?

Hey guys.
I have an alpine W404 deck. It exhibited the problems you mentioned on this thread. The only way I was able to fix the problem was to do the following:
1) If you have an iphone. Backup all contacts, notes, emails and calendar to your MAC or mobileme as this process will wipe all of the data and apps from the device. Regardless of type, backup ALL apps to itunes. Perform a FULL sync.
2) Connect the idevice to your machine and launch itunes.
3) Click on restore to factory settings in itunes.
4) When it asks you if you wish to use the settings backup. ANSWER NO.
5) Once this is completely performed. Sync your iphone back up with mail, apps etc etc etc.
VERY IMPORTANT!
6) Once you are satisfied that all is back to normal with your idevice, bring it to your car and press and HOLD BOTH the off switch and the main (Square) button simutaneously...keep it held down even when the slider to switch off the device shows up. Once the screen is completely black. Turn it back on and connect it to your deck.
PRESTO.
It works.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day!

Sound check does not work with dock connector

I have the 60GB video iPod. Sound check does not function when using the dock connector, i.e. plugged into my Belkin Autokit or a Kensington SoundDock. However, it functions as intended when used with the headphone jack. I previously used a 4G iPod, and sound check did function with the dock connector using those same products.
I am wondering if this could be:
a) a compatibility issue between the 5G connector and the older accessories
b) a firmware issue (I am using the 10-12-05 updater)
c) a bug in the 5G units
d) a bad unit (i.e. mine only)
If there is someone out there who has the same setup and could test this, it would help me. I could eliminate (a), (b), and (c) if yours works, and then I would try an exchange of my unit.
Thanks in advance if you can help.

I have a similar problem. I've never really used sound check but I recenty installed a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play iPod interface. The sound quality using the dock connection is not great. It sound somewhat distorted. It sounds much better through the headphone port. i always thought the dock connector would provide a cleaner signal. I will borrow a click wheel 4G iPod to see if the problem is with the interface or my video iPod.

How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When

CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList is not working in Windows VISTA.When I run the Application from vista using a jar file.But it is running if i run it from class file without use the jar file.

This pretty much says it all:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.What version of Vista?
What version of the agent? ... 10g is not a version number it is a marketing label
Did you check to see if the agent is compatible with your operating system?
My recommendation would be to get a real operating system: Either Oracle Linux or XP.
