My week old ipad2 keeps dropping it's internet connection, even after rebooting the ipad and renewing the wi-fi connection. Gets very frustrating not to have internet in the middle of a task or email.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

    I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

  • My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
    If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
    Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5.  A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • My 4s is locking up. Seems no reason all all. All apps up to date. Facebook locks up. Photo locks up. It works for awhile then nothing. Replacement only alternative or do I have an Apple virus?

    It works for awhile then nothing. Replacement only alternative or do I have an Apple virus?

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

    Unfortunately no, It says "Adobe not responding" as well when I try to open a pdf. It has done this a few times where I had to uninstall and reinstall. Also, Illustrator tells me to uninstall/reinstall as well.

  • Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason

    Hi,
    The Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason. What's up with this and how do I fix this issue? My laptop is really confusing me. The green battery says it's totally charged %100 and the little AC adapter icon in the system tray says "%99 available (plugged in, not charging.")
    Thanks,
    Liz 

    Hello Liz,
    that is considered to be normal.
    It´s bettter for a Li-ion battery not to be charged fully, so the powermanager don´t load the whole time.
    That´s why the percentage could drop. But thats not a problem thats a feature.
    if your battery handling is set to automatic in powermanager then, eveythings is ok.
    Do you use your machine with AC plugged in the whole time?

    he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

    As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

    No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
    Good luck.

    After I loaded Mac OS lion, it won't let me install my Sierra Wireless telstra. It keeps telling me to install it even though i already have. help please?

    Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
    I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
    Best.

  • Firefox keeps asking to authenticate to kerebos even though it is no longer

    firefox keeps asking to authenticate to kerebos even though it is no longer using the xserve as a proxy, do i have to reset something in firefox or delete something so it works with a new windows proxy? can't seem to get past this as i can't authenticate as it is no longer using that proxy, so just keeps popping up all the time with cannot contact any kdc for requested realm . There must be a way to reset firefox to not look for kerebos? any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

    Hi
    When the Kerberos login window appears just click cancel. Firefox should then use the next authentication mechanism it can or it won't bother if that's all there was. You can 'reset' Firefox by removing the Firefox folder from /Users/home/Library/Application Support. Relaunch the application afterwards.
    Don't trash the moved folder as you may want to reinstate the Bookmarks.html? If you do it should be fairly obvious to you as to what you need to do. If you don't want the bookmarks trash the folder.
