There may be a switch on the side of your power supply in the back. If not, try pushing the power switch, because sometimes these are made to come on automatically.

Ipod is disabled


Attach a USB connector to the iPod and plug it into a USB connection on a computer for power, or into a stand alone USB charger plugged into a power strip for electrical power.


Pick up the iPod. Move the "Hold" switch at the top of the iPod to the "Locked" position so that an orange color appears by the switch. Return the switch to the "Unlocked" position.

Repeat this process.


Press and hold the "Home" button and the button at the top right corner together if using a fifth generation iPod, iPod Nano, iPod Mini or iPod with a click wheel.


Press and hold the "Menu" button and the "Play/Pause" button together if using an iPod Touch. Press and hold the "Menu" button and the "OK" button together if using an older iPod.


Continue holding the buttons together until the screen flashes and then displays the iPod name and the Apple logo.

Release the buttons.


Wait as the iPod resets itself and turns itself back on.




or

Plug the iPod USB cable into the bottom of your iPod.


Plug the other end of the iPod USB cable into a free USB port on your Mac or PC.

Open the iTunes application by using the dock icon on a Mac or the start menu on a PC.

Click on the name of your iPod under the "Devices" list in the main iTunes window.


Click on the "Sync" button to create a connection between the computer and the iPod.


Click on the eject symbol after the syncing process is complete, and then unplug your iPod from the computer.


The lock code has been reset; when you go to disable the iPod again, you will be prompted to choose a new four-digit code.


hope this helps

I unplugged my computer from the livingroom and moved it to one of the kids bedrooms. After I plugged it back in, the tower doesn't power up. I've switched the power cords with the ones from the monitor...

Look on the back of the tower, up top on the power supply and there may be a reset button or a red switch. Switch it off for a few seconds and them back on. That might work.

Put in new power supply, computer will not boot up. Asks what type of power supply, when I answer generic the computer will not continue to boot up. When I go into bios it says power supply is disabled and...

Try resetting the BIOS, depending on the motherboard, there will either be a button, switch or small jumpers that will short two pins and reset the cmos on the board. Just make sure to take out all the extra peripherals before powering back up. If you have jumpers, look for the one marked CMOS, not the one marked password. Move the jumper plug over one pin and power the system up. Wait approx. one minute and power back down, remove the power plug from the back and press the power button on the front to bleed off the power. Move the jumper back to its original place, plug the power cord back in and try booting the system back up. If it boots you will need to restart and get back into the BIOS and reset the time and date.

ASUS LGA775 mother board

1.Power down your PC.
2.Locate a rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), and switch it from the on position (I) to the off position (O).
3.Find the 3-pin jumper near the power supply, typically labeled "clear cmos" or "reset bios".
4.Remove the jumper from the default position (typically connecting the 1st and 2nd pins).
5.Replace the jumper to connect the 2nd and 3rd pins.
6.Push the power button on the front of your PC once.
7.Wait a minute.
8.Return the jumper to its default position, connecting the 1st and 2nd pins.
9.Move the rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), to the on (I) position.
10.Power on your PC with its front power button.
If it doesn't work go to alternate options

Alternate Method
1.Locate a rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), and switch it from the on position (I) to the off position (O).
2.Remove the CMOS battery. This should be a regular 3V, round, flat watch battery.
3.Wait at least 5 minutes.
4.Reinsert the CMOS battery.
5.Move the rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), to the on (I) position.
6.Power on your PC with its front power button.

Alternate Method
1.Turn on your computer and press the key on your keyboard to enter the BIOS. This is typically the Del (delete) key. Pre-built systems from major manufacturers may use a function key such as F1, F2, or F10.
2.Go to the last tab or page of your BIOS.
3.Select an option similar to "restore factory settings".
4.Save your changes and confirm your selection if necessary. This will often be combined with the process of exiting a BIOS. Some BIOS types may have this as a separate option such as "F10: Save Changes".

I turned off my computer last night and now it won't turn on. the green light in the back is still on but the computer itself won't turn on.

Question, can you hear hdd spinning or anything going on inside the case? the Green light onte back usually tells you that the powersupply has power going in, not necessarily that the powersupply is giving power out to the other components. You could have a bad powersupply on your hands.

Readoout says

1. Turn machine OFF and unplug electrical cord from wall or power strip.
2. Turn ON printer without the power cord plugged in (this will discharge the power capaciter in the printer).
3. Plug electrical power back in and turn on printer...
4. It should have reset.

Another possibility:
The scanner arm has the physical "lock" switch in the locked possition. Turn OFF printer and move the switch to the unlock position. Turn on printer.
This switch is for whenever the printer is moved to a different location and will protect the scanning bar.

Hope this helps!

Cant get shuffle to work when not conected to pc

How long have you had the unit? If it's been a year and a half or 2 years your battery needs to be replaced. They loose their ability to retain a charge in that time frame, and when you test a good battery or a bad battery they will both read 3.6v as a tester does not put a load on the battery, meaning you have 3.6v when the unit is off but when it turns on (load) it drops to zero. You could also try resseting the unit, to do so follow these instructions. To reset iPod shuffle: Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected). Move the switch on the back of iPod shuffle to the off position. Tip: When iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible. Wait 5 seconds. Move the switch on the back to the play in order or the shuffle position. The green stripe will be visible in either position. iPod shuffle is now reset. If after resetting iPod shuffle you are going to attach it to your computer, be sure to place the switch in the off position. If you were resetting as part of some troubleshooting steps, continue with those steps now. For general troubleshooting steps see the iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ.
