My iPad is connected to wifi,but every several minutes later,I just can not connect to webpage,then I have to shut off iPad and turn it on again,and several minutes later the same thing happens again,how can I deal with this?

Why I can not go to webpage even wifi is on?it happens every 6 minutes.......

Is it the same webpage everytime? And is it exactly 6 minutes?
If you have control over the modem and wifi router, i.e. your personal router in your home, I would powercycle your modem and router and see what happens.
1. unplug the wifi router's power cord
2. unplug the modem's power cord
3. wait 10 - 15 seconds (I usually wait about a minute)
4. plug the modem back in and wait for it to stabilize
5. plug the router back in and wait for it to stabilize
6. try to to to the web page again.
And while I am waiting for my modem to start back up and get itself connected to the internet I usually restart my iPad/iPhone. Hold the Home button and the Power button down at the same time, wait for the apple logo to appear and then wait for the device to to a restart. Very much like rebooting your PC.

I have an MacBook Pro 10.6, using disk utility I tried to verify my disk, but it came up with the message, please use your start up disk, I tried this, starting the computer up and pressing C, but it ejected the disk, the same thing happened while I running the computer. Is the hard drive damaged as laptop doesn't seem to recognize the start up disk ? If so, I presume I will have to put in a new one.
There haven't been any problems with the computer, apart from a sticky curser,I have run a permissions programme from disk utility, there were a lot of different ones, but it seem to be able to fix them.
Any comments or ideas ?
Thank you in anticipation.

First backup your users files off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!)
Most commonly used backup methods
Next to startup from the disk, have it inserted, hold c or option/alt (wired or built in keyboard) and then boot the computer and or select the disk when it appears and click the arrow.
Disk Utility is under the Utilities menu on the second screen.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you used the wrong 10.6 disk, it will spit it out or have issues, use the one that came with that machine or if it's defective, call Apple for a new one.

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out. When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens. The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping. Help, thanks!

Macbook Pro:
When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out. If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens. It is sometimes necessary to force quit. Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

Hi ...
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

My iPhone 4 refuses to save pictures and at some instances, delete my existing pictures. I take a picture, and then go to camera roll and look, but it doesn't show up. The same thing happens when I try to screenshot things; it won't save.

My iPhone 4 is severely making me mad. It won't save any pictures I take. I will take the picture, then go to view it in the Camera Roll, and it just won't be there. The same thing occurs when screen shotting things on my iPhone. Some times it won't even let me delete the existing pictures I had on my phone before this all happened. I will click delelte, then it will pause, and eventually close me out of the photos app. However, when I go to settings, it says I have 440MB of pictures on here somewhere. But I can oly see 3 pictures in the camera roll. Also, it says in the camera roll app that it is 'Restoring...' then just sits and loads and won't restore anything at all. HELP ME PLEASE. I have iOS 7.1 currently installed.

Have you Tried Clearing the The Cache in the Camera or Gallery in your Applications Area.. Go to Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications--> Select All--> Clear the Cache in Both the Camera & Gallery Clearing the Data however might Clear you Pictures in your Gallery but if your Ok with it Give it a Shot,

I have strange music playing in the background whenever I turn on firefox. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing happens. It is only on one computer that this is happening. Help?

This problem started last night when I was searching for a website that would enable me to watch past TV episodes. I have no idea on what website this occurred. Is there a way to find where the music is coming from so we can turn it off. It is the same four or five bars of music over and over. I called apple, but they punted this to you since it only happens when firefox is open.

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

My computer keeps shutting off when I turn it on.

Last night I shut it down after running a laggy application.I force quit it then I shut it down.This morning I wanted to play on Roblox.I started up my computer.It made the noise and stayed on the plain white screen with no apple.Then I pushed down the off button until I force shut it down.Now when I turn it on the apple appears,a bar that fills up half the way and then shuts off.Theres the spiral loading thing too.I have turned it on a few times and shuts off.
Please help I haven't played my computer for two weeks Help.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Macbook won't start up all the way, just gray screen then shuts off...

When I turn my mac book on, it starts up and has the apple logo and the spinning gear thing. then after about 30 seconds or so, it shuts off. I tried the install disc and held c, then tried to repair my hard drive thing, but it said it had an error like this: "the underlying task reported failure on exit" and then under that it said something about 1 volume like not working or something and that was in red. anyone know anything else I could do to fix it? thanks

Hey man,
I regret to inform you that I am having the same issue. And I have found that EVERYTHING I have tried has not worked.
You can try all the things that are on the troubleshooting forum right here in the support section. But it didn't work for me. I even tried some further stuff.....to no avail. Some poeple have told me that I need to take out the RAM and try switching that. Haven't gotten to try that yet.
But from what I can tell right now, I'm gonna end up having to loose all my data and send it in and get a new computer. Which I like the sound of "a new computer"....but DON"T like the sound of "lost data." I'm a writer and musician...and I've archived my files on that of my music and writing....alas, the mourning process has begun.
But I hope that you end up in better shape! And do let me know if you find anything that works!!

Macbook pro wont start. grey screen then shuts off

I have been having some problems with my macbook when my battery would die and i would plug it in and try to turn it back on it would take forever to start back up. Sometimes i woudl have to unplug, take out the battery then put them back in and zap the pram and it would start. Then today it just started taking forever to restart so i shut it down and tried to restart now it starts goes to the grey screen and the little thing starts spinning and then about 5 sedc later it shuts itself down.
PLEASE HELP

If the Apple Hardware test does not bring up any problems with the hardware, I would advise doing an archive and install before you zero out the drive and erase all of the data on it.
Some things to keep in mind:
If your computer shuts down while booted to the install disk (either the AHT or the installer) you're looking at a hardware problem.
If you need to erase and install or send it in for repair of a hardware problem, you will need to back up any data you do not want to lose before doing so. If you are unable to do backups, an apple store or authorized service provider can do data retrieval for you. Bear in mind this is an optional service and you would be charged a fee for data retrieval.

Why isn't my iphone 5 camera working? Whenever i try to take a picture the screen just shows up black. i have already tried turning it on and off about a million times, but the same thing happens.

please help

Hi julia_smile,
This article has some steps you can try for camera app issues:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera
Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Cheers,
- Ari

Laptop screen remains black (off) when I turn on the computer

Hello,
Today I came home and turned on my laptop as usual except this time the screen remained black. I can hear the fan running and then the usual windows chime at start up, but nothing to view. The HP logo at the back still lights up though. Just the actual screen remains completely black like it is off. I tried connecting it to my tv via HDMI and to an external monitor but there's no signal. I also tried doing a hard reset which I read about here but that did nothing. I feel as though it's just the monitor won't turn on but everything else might be fine.

Hello @brianh123,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your notebook's screen remains black when your power on your computer, and I would be happy to assist you!
Since the image will not appear on either the notebook or the external monitor, I believe there is a startup issue with your computer. To enable your notebook to power on correctly, I recommend following the steps in this document on Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
If the issue continues, I recommend contacting our technical support at 800-474-6836 for hardware replacement options. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Home sharing shuts off when I turn off computer

I have my ITunes account set up on a Windows computer. I enabled home sharing on that computer, my iPhone and my iPad. When the computer is "on" I am able to play my music and see my pictures. When I shut the computer down, I am no longer able to do those two things. Songs will be cut-off as soon as the laptop closes. Any ideas?

iMovie looks for cameras by checking to see if it notices the file structure of a supported camera in the root directory (highest level directory) of all the attached drives.
So I would recommend that you check to see of you have copied files from a camera to this external drive's highest level directory, or see if that triggers any thoughts with you.

My computer comes on but with the loading bar under the apple logo. The bar only loads partially and then the computer shuts off. I've tried turning it on again more than 5 times and the same thing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My Macbook wont turn on, it gets pasted the White Apple screen then goes to a Blue screen that quickly turns a slightly darker shade of blue with the familiar loading icon then back again and does this over and over. What should I do? please help!

So today my iPhone decides to go into recovery mode on me randomly so I plugged it into my Macbook right away, but it wasn't showing up in iTunes so I did a quick internet search as to why that could be. On the Mac support forum I found instructions stating I should make sure I had the current verison of iTunes on my computer, turns out I had been putting off an Update because I didn't like waiting for it to restart n so forth. So I clicked my boucning update friend at the bottom of my screen and it started checking for updates, the bar got maybe a quarter of the way up and then stopped moving all together, I thought something was wrong so I clicked cancel and tried again. The same thing happened so I clicked cancel and went back to the Internet to find more help on my problems. I found yet another forum saying this solution was simple, restart the computer. So i clicked my little apple at the top and pressed restart and that has been the last thing I got to do on my computer because when it restarted it got past the White Apple logo screen and went on to a Blue screen which quickly turned a darker shade and had the loading circle, then back to the previous blue screen, then right back to the darker one. This process it repeated several times and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. Please someone have a simple answer to this that I haven't Already tried, I have already tried safe mode and it just doesn't work for me. Please please help I need my computer for class it has all my notes and a paper I was doing, not to mention my iphone is still in recovery mode, even when I can get to another computer to fix that I need all the back up files off of my macbook to restore it to what I know it as and not default.

Reset the PRAM
Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)
