My nano is constantly turning itself on and killing the battery. Any ideas?

I will do the full shut off but out of nowhere I will see the screen turn on.  Battery is dead within a few hours.

Why is my iPod turning on randomly by itself?

Hi,

I have an iPod 7th generation that I received at Christmas. The problem is that it randomly turns on by itself, even if I had previously closed it with the top right button. The battery won't last more than two days which is really frustrating.

 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what the problem is?

 

Thank you!

iTunes Library keeps deleting itself! NOT using a Vaio....

Thanks for the info. on previous versions. I've added it into my general solution for these types of problems below...

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash

Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.

In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.

Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state. There is also the possibility that Windows has created a backup copies of the iTunes Library.itl file which may found if you right-click on the current copy and select Restore Previous Versions.

See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

When you get it all working make a backup!

Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

My MacBook Pro is shutting down by itself. How do I fix this?

Recently, my 15-inch mind-2012 MacBook Pro (10.8) has been shutting itself down. From what I've read, this is because it thinks it's overheating. This is not the case at this point in time, since it is shutting down on startup after a night of being shut down in room temperature. I try rebooting it, and it immediately shuts down two seconds after pressing the power button. On the occasion it does boot past the login screen, I can hear the fan running at an incredible/abnormal speed, even though the laptop isn't very warm at all. I also dual-boot Windows 7, and even on that partition, the fan is running abnormal and the system shuts itself down in a short time. I've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, I've tried running Disk Utility, and I'm afraid to try using Internet Recovery or System Restore. I am at a loss as to what I should do. Could someone please help?

I have a new MacBook Air which keeps turning off by itself and now won't turn on at all...

It's been working fine since I've had it but yesterday it kept turning off by itself and then within minutes off turning it back on it would do it again. Also the little box kept popping up asking if I wanted to sleep, restart etc as if I had pressed the power button. I tried to turn it off completely and now it won't turn back on at all. If I plug the charger in the green light comes on but nothing happens on the actual MacBook itself. What do i do ?
