My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

  • TS3899 Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at a specific airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malwar

    Our CEO has an iPhone and an iPad. Everytime he is at the Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) he is unable to send or recieve email over 4G or wifi. Everything else seems to work just fine over wifi or 4G LTE. Has anyone ever seen anything similar? is this malware?
    Both devices are on Verizons 4G LTE network. Both devices do have some of the same APPS installed. Can this be a case of him connecting to a rogue wifi network of a hacker that may have installed malicious code on his devices when he connected? That would explain why only his devices have the same exact issue only at BWI airport.

    Something similar I've experienced. I was once having to use a AT&T hotspot and the iPad simply refused to access my mail via the mail app. But if I used safari I could get it.  So the internet was working, but my supposition is that something with the hotspot's firewall messes with mail exchange.
    next time your boss is at BWI, do you guys have a web interface? (for example if I wanted to access my work mail I could get them to set it up via the mail app and exchange, or I could go to a certain web address and access my mail that way via safari)
    He could try using safari and the web interface if you have it.
    If it's something in the hotspot's firewall I doubt it's anything that can be changed.

  • Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges. Now it only prints blank pages

    Pixma was working just fine until I replaced 3 of the ink cartidges.  Now it only prints blank pages.  It does the same thing from my computer as from the printer itself.  Also passes the device maintenance tests, including all the colors and the alignment.  Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • My iPod was working just fine but all of a sudden it won't connect to iTunes?

    I've done everything I can think of! I system restored my computer, I reinstalled iTunes and even repaired it like two times, I've even installed an older version of iTunes. In the older version of iTunes it at least registers that I've connected my iPod to it... except it says "songs cannot be added to the iPod "%1$S" because all of its space has been reserved for data." And something about a FireWire and "You must connect using FireWire to restore the iPod ~^FILENAME"."

    Can anyone help me out? I'm so frustrated with my iPod.
    To make it even better, my iPad won't even connect either.
    However my friend has the same computer and it will connect to hers just fine. (The iPad will at least)
    Thank you in advance for any and all help you can give me. ;~;

  • The Sync seem not working between my other two computers, one in the spare roon, one in the hall and one in the master bedroom.

    Previous version when I use sync for all these three computers it seem to work fine and also can I install Xmark.

    Hi!
    Before Firefox 7 the service used to take some time to upload the changes and then to download them. Make sure that you wait several hours to confirm that it's not something else.
    You can force them by using the "Sync Now" option in the Tools menu.
    Fortunately, the behavior have changed with Firefox 7 and now the bookmark changes are instant.

  • Its working just fine but does it look good? Take a look and give me your advice!

    I got to say that this is my first finnished labview program, and  it's working fine, almost no problems. But i'm not that shure about
    this huge while loop with all its instructions. Normaly a while loop takes 1 ms to iterate once, but this loop takes more than one ms,
    I'm using another subVI to catch data up to 5 ms. / sample as output from measurement device to  the while loop in this Sub vi, and then from this sub VI i'm initializing the data value read from the Measurement device, to a global variable that i read in this huge while loop.  I belive that the subVI while loop iterates several times before the huge loop iterates once. Meaby thats why my graphs for the data are plotting more than one data at a time.
    Take a look and give your advice, it seems that all the measurements are well. And I don't really got problems with the program when running, exept from small delays when I switch the sample rates.

    I agree with Titou.
    Wow!  That's an eye-full. 
    There are some functions like setting audio On / Off that may not need to be in there.  Or do they?  You'd have to describe what the loop is supposed to do.  Same comment for the indicator display settings on property nodes.  Do you intend to turn them on/off a number of times during an iteration of the loop?
    You should "divide & conquer".  By that I mean, use sub-vi's that are function specific.  As mentionned by Titou, you should have a look at the development guidelines.   Basically, now that you have a working loop, you can improve it by creating some sub-vi's, revisit some items that may  not need to be in the loop.  As a matter of fact, you could create some control & indicators and maybe transform the loop into a sub-vi as well. 
    There are many Case Statements that you could convert to sub-vi's and that way, you could eliminate the global variables by using indicators and wiring directly to them.
    However, I would have to say that the value for "Write Flow Data" might become unpredictable due to race conditions.  Revisit how the value(s) are set for that one.
    But it does look like you had some fun doing this one.  Which is the most important thing.  To have fun implementing solutions with LV.
    Happy wiring!

  • Just bought 2 of the iPhone 5's 4 days ago mine worked just fine but my wife's will not conect to the data plan so is unable to get on net or chats unless she is home on the wifi connection what to do? Went to the carrier they sed it's apples issue

    They do not have any to give her a dif one so now what

    If you have tried a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears, and there is not a difference in bahvaior, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out for replacement.

  • I'm trying to use 10 in win 8 on a Acer 500 tablet and it doesn't seem to work with touch. It's like it's too sensitive and can't ever manage to hit the items intended. IE 9 and 10 seem to work just fine.

    Firefox 10, win 8 consumer preview. Acer-500 Tablet.
    Firefox apparently isn't optimized for touch or if there are adjustments or options I haven't been able to find them. This problem was also apparent in the Development preview on Win 8. I gave up trying to use Firefox and went with IE 9/10 which both worked fine using touch. I thought since installing win 8 consumer something might have changed but the problem still persists. I've tried a stylus to see if it was just my fat fingers but to no avail. Any ideas?

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

  • HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

    Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac.  Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

    Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?
