I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini.  While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes.   What is going on?

Network errors can cause the password dialog.
The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

  • Every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.

    I installed Lion last night, now every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Jack
    Thanks for the reply. Thankfully, it has stopped now.
    My iMac is quite new and less than half full, so I don't think deleting anything would have helped. Maybe the CPU was working too hard for a while ?
    Just glad that it is now stable again.

  • Can't get rid of ads popping up and open up every few minutes.

    Every few minutes i get pop up ads and/or windows that open and play music or videos. I can't get rid of this and it's using all of my internet and slows it down a lot.

    You should check with a mal- / adware scanner.<br>
    There are several scanners for example Malwarebytes or CCleaner.<br>
    I myself like and use Malwarebytes, see for info and free download https://www.malwarebytes.org/

  • MacBook Retina 13 fan goes up all the time and wlan crashes every few minutes

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBook Retina 13" Haswell edition and as soon I open any kind of app or if I just idle at the desktop the fan goes up to 100% and the temperature of the CPU goes over 90celsius all the time.
    Also my wifi connection drops all the time im not using my thunderbolt bridge which is super annoying, it can only be fixed by tuning the wifi on and off and after 10 minutes it disconnects again.
    is there any way to fix it?

    Backup your data or Home folder. Boot from your Snow Leopard installer disc. Select your language and click on the Continue button. Wait for the menubar to appear then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive from the DU sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, then click on the Erase button. When the process is finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the installation.
    After you have reinstalled OS X you can restore your data from the backup.

  • My ipad2 screen is just alternating between apple logo and stationary swirl every few minutes. Any suggestions?

    it seems to be trying to boot, but never progresses.  I cannot turn it off and no combination of buttons seems to change the pattern.

    See the step 5 under the Resolution Section here. You may need to take step 5 to the next step which is recovery mode. The kb article has a link to that as well.

  • Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes, Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes

    Once I begin to play a movie from my iPad to the TV using the HDMI adapter it will pause and lose sound every few minutes.  I am using the video app and the movie plays fine if not connected.
    I have also checked to make sure that everything is connected properly.

    Well, I thought it was solved... or at least solved enough to live with. I had originally installed 2.6.31 from testing to try and fix this issue, and it substantially improved, but now it's gotten worse again. At home on a WPA network, it drops maybe once or twice a day. Here on this unencrypted network, it's going out once or twice every half hour. Same error messages as above.
    I tried reinstalling, but ended up with the same errors almost right away. This bites!
    Anyone have any other ideas to try?
    Thanks,
    Scott
    EDIT: I tried rebuilding rt2x00-rt71w-fw from source. PKGBUILD has the incorrect source link. So I actually went to the ralink site, downloaded the (hopefully correct) driver package, unzipped it and copied rt73.bin to /usr/lib/firmware --overwrote the existing copy. I haven't got any errors yet, but it's only been 20 minutes so far. We'll see. I'm not sure if it's the identical rt73.bin that's currently in the repos or if it's different. Forgot to compare the two before I overwrote the old one.
    EDIT2: No luck with the different rt73.bin. Also tried the new Ubuntu karmin beta and got the same errors -- and a freeze when I pulled the adapter out when it stopped working.

  • Streaming video (using Videos-app) from MBP 13" to iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is stuttering/lagging every few minutes

    I have imported a number of movies and tv shows into my iTunes library. This library is located on an external USB 2.0 hard drive which is connected to my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012. I use an Airport Extreme (5th gen.) as my network hub, everything is connected wirelessly through either the 5GHz or the 2.4GHz wifi signals.
    Whenever I watch these videos on my MacBook itself of my AppleTV (3rd gen.) everything works just fine, no lag or stuttering. But when I want to watch these videos on my iPad 2 (6.1.2) or iPhone 4S (6.1.3) using the standard Videos app, I get lag and/or stuttering every few minutes just like you would when an internet video isn't loading fast enough. Speedtests indicate a stable internetconnection (fiberglass) at 30Mbps up and down, and internet videos (i.e. Youtube) stream just fine, even the 1080p ones. That's why I don't think my networkconnection is the problem.
    Frankly, I don't have any idea where to look next. I checked all settings in iTunes (homesharing is enabled, any other settings seem to have no relation with this subject) and the iPad/iPhone, restarted the devices completely but not with any improvement.
    Why is this happening? I'm used to Apple products having an optimal user experience, but in this case it's just not working like it should...

    Try putting one of those movies onto your macbooks' drive and stream it and see if you have the same lag.
    It's probably not being pulled from that external drive fast enough causing the lag.
    I know you can watch it off your macbook fine, but you're pulling it onto the laptop, then pushing it out to the router and data transfer is always slower the more 'stuff' you give it to pass through.
    For example, I can pull stuff off a harddrive at a gig a minute....but if i pull it off one and write it directly to another (using the computer as the go between) i get about 75% speed.....something that should take an hour can take almost an hour and a half.
    So try streaming directly off your macbook and see if you stutter.

  • I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

    I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

    Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder?  I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
    You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder.  Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks.  I suspect that will work.
    With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages.  If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

  • I restored my iphone 4 to prepare it for sale and now it keeps rebooting itself every few minutes saying "Waiting for Activation". What's going on?!

    I'm just trying to figure out if theres some other issue at play or if its normal for the phone to keep rebooting while searching for activation. I'd like to sell it this weekend but I don't want to sell a broken phone to someone. I researched this issue a bit online and only found a similar issue having to do with facetime/imessage but this seems to be different. I went through the necessary steps to fix the problem others were having, even though it didnt seem to be exactly the same as mine, but it is still happening. I will say that I got the iphone wet some time ago but it has worked fine since then so I'm assuming its not related. Perhaps the battery needs to be replaced? Any and all input or advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

    I should mention it is ios 6.1.3. The phone has now also started, after rebooting, showing the signal bars next to the wifi signal icon at the top but no "Sprint" type next to the bars as usual. And then after a few minutes it shuts down, shows the black screen with the white apple in the middle for a few moments, comes back up with the Waiting for Activation message, the signal bars pop up and the whole cycle just repeats itself.

  • Every few minutes I receive a "not responding" message and I can do nothing until it goes away.

    Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 sec., Firefox will hang up. If I try to keep typing I'll get a "not responding" message and will have to wait until it goes away to continue. This happens consistently when going through my e-mail, but it happens at other sights, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my add-ons and it still happens. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem still occurs. I am on the verge of going back to Microsoft Explorer because it is taking far too long to navigate in Firefox. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell laptop with plenty of speed, memory and hard drive space.

  • LED Light Going Off Every Few Minutes

    My LED notificiation light is going off every few minutes.  I have no new emails, I have no new texts, no new notifications.  i have turned off my phone, I have taken out the battery and put it back in.  I have changed my notification settings.  I don't know what to do next.  Help please!  I have a Blackberry Pearl Flip Phone.

    Hi,
    Check and see if you have a program that has an update in Blackberry App World.  That might be it.  Also, check and see, your device might have a software update under wireless update.  It could be one of those two places.
