A loaded page keeps refreshing unnecessarily when I switch to another task, why??

Hi, a few weeks ago I bought an iPad mini, and it's doing ok but I'm having problems when browsing and multi-tasking and I would like to know if it's a fault with the iPad or if it's connected to the wifi I'm using.
Basically I will have a few apps/pages open
For example Facebook, youtube streaming a video, and safari with a few tabs open browsing the net.
I will start to stream a youtube video then switch to my browser and load a page up to start reading it. Then I get a fb message, so go to fb to reply to that. 30 seconds later I will navigate back to the youtube video that was streaming and for some reason it will just refresh it's self to the youtube app home page loosing the video I was watching! Causing me to search for it all over again. The same happens when I navigate back to safari after leaving it for a minute or so, the page will just start to refresh it's self even though it was already fully loaded.
This is getting pretty infuriating when iv paid top money for a tablet that's supposed to be flawless at multi tasking, but I'm not sure if it's linked to a poor wifi connection maybe or if what I'm doing is exceeding the RAM capabilities of the iPad, surely not with 4-5 tabs open?
Thanks for any help!

But to answer your question about exceeding the RAM of the iPad mini...
Keep in mind that it has only 512 MB RAM. Depending on the sites you view - and yes, Youtube and Facebook can be kind of heavy - plus any other apps that you have open, you could be running into that as a problem. If you are seeing what you think are Apps crashing, they might actually just be shut down automatically by iOS to save memory.

When I use facebook chat my friends say I appear offline even though I am online. The page keeps refreshing and everytime it refreshes my typed text appears 3-4 times in the chat window.

I have the latest version of firefox and this problem started a few days back. When I start chatting on fb chat right after I stop typing my friends say my status appears offline. The fb page keeps refreshing and everytime it reloads my chat window gets disturbed. Sometimes what I had typed and entered in the chat window appears in the chat box 3-4 times. Not sure if this could be a plugin problem? I have the latest version of Java and Flash player installed.

Hello there,
Please take a look at this article [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox]], it might solve your issue. There are a lot of know problems with Facebook on Firefox.

Rich Client keeps refreshing docs when opening them

Hello,
I would like to ask a question about the refresh on open with Rich Client. Using FP2.10, I have Rich Client which keeps refreshing documents when opening them. This happens even if the 'refresh on open' option is unchecked. I would like to know if there is another option that is forcing the refresh of my webi doc when opened with WRC.
this behavior I'm facing is systematic and does not depend on universe, document, objetc or whatsoever.
It happens when I create a brand new doc using demo universe (eFashion for instance). I use a prompt in the query; then I save the document locally as a .WID file making sure that option 'refresh on open' is uncheck. However when I open this newly created document, the prompt dialog box shows up meanign that the doc was refreshed.
This behavior is happening wiht only one machine. that' what made me think that it might be related to some configuration within that machine.
Thanks in advane for any input you might have to resolve this issue.
Best regads,
Mohamed

I have got a question with regards to this thread.
I understand the new option that has been added u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D
In this instancce all reports refresh when opened in WRC and not in Infoview?
Is this right specific to WRC or Webi in Infoview as well?
With BO administrator, the report does not refresh as u201CDisable Automatic Refresh on Open for all documentsu201D right is granted by default.
However, with a non-admin user, the report will refresh.
If the aforementioned right is granted to the non-admin user then the auto-refreshes stops.
Therefore, my query is:
Is this functionality of refreshing all documents specific to WRC or does it also applies to Webi in Infoview?
If specific to WRC then is it documented somewhere?
Thanks
Steph

Stor.e TV+ No Loader error keeps coming up when switching on

I have been experiencing continual problems accessing the hard drive. "No Loader" error message keeps coming up when switching on.
The so-called "solution" to this problem posted on this forum is to open up the box and fiddle with the cables. Whilst I have had some success with this method initially, dismantling the box 10 times a week is not on.
I tried something else in desperation.
When the No Loader message comes up, I switch the box off and on again from the remote.
After 2 or 3 times or so the HDD folder usually appears.
I have been doing this consistently now with great success. This however suggests that the No Loader error message is NOT a mechanical connector problem with the hard drive but (as usual) poor software (what else?).
Dismantling the unit is tantamount to switching it off for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.
Switching the unit on and off several times also solves the problem of the D folder not appearing on the network even though Win7 shows Store-TV-Plus as a mapped NTFS drive (but can't find the D folder).
See the similarity?
Another thing that exacerbates problems is the unit's poor ventilation. The first thing that happens with this unit is that the rubbish stick-on rubber feet fall off.
Whilst this may seem innocuous, the ventilation slots are underneath the unit and will be blocked if there are no feet. I live in a hot country so this device gets pretty hot and behaves even more erratically unless well ventilated.
Ideally keep it well away from other units and preferably sit it on a small box by itself with the vents underneath well exposed.
I also still experience problems playing FLAC and MKV files. The unit occasionally loses synch with FLAC files which generally otherwise play OK and locks up or causes loud bangs or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).
Some MKV files just don't play at all even though VLC plays them. There are a myriad other inconsistencies but these are the most annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems or does anyone have any other solutions to prevent these problems?
I don't suppose we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? In your dreams, pal.

OK, so I took the risk and updated the firmware of my Stor.e TV+ to the Noontec V8S latest firmware V3.0816.13_V8S from noontec website.
The update went fine without a hitch (took about 2 minutes from an old 256MB flash drive plugged into the back USB port of the unit, which I formatted before using), and some of the irritating shortcomings of the Toshiba firmware was solved. Samba worked in some fashion, but I was still not able to download songs directly to the Stor.e over wireless, which is the only other feature I currently need. The irritating remote control buttons were changed to the way any sane person would use them (I had changed my universal remote control to correct this, so would have to change the settings if I kept the updated firmware) The new firmware seems solid, but I DON'T USE THE VIDEO CAPABLITIES, so I can't comment on this.
One major drawback of this update for me is that the small display on the unit becomes much less readable. Seems like there is a problem with the font on the new firmware. I use my Stor.e exclusively as a flac music player, and since I don't have it connected to a tv the small display is crucial for me to select tracks or disks. I have 300+ discs, so the Stor.e is an excellent cheap media player which I connect to my HIFI system via a DAC.
I thus had to change back to the Toshiba firmware to correct this problem. Seems like I would still have to use USB to download music to the Stor.e when I buy new CDs. What a pity.
Incidentally, the new Toshiba firmware is very much like the old firmware, in that it lacks the capability to switch on Samba. In the readme Toshiba states that the new firmware fixes a network problem, but I think that this is probably the smallest issue most users have with the Toshiba firmware.
So, my advice to anyone having video, control or other issues with the Toshiba firmware is to flash to the Noontec firmware to see if it resolves their issues. If it doesn't one can always revert to the official Toshiba firmware as I did.
You do this at your own risk though, if you brick your unit don't blame me...

Why do some iOS 7 apps lose their state when I switch to another app and then switch back?

When I switch from an app like Safari, the New York Times, Facebook, or Google+ Hangouts to some other app and then switch back, the first app takes me to its initial page, not to my place in the document I was reading. The Kindle app, on the other hand, seems to access the network but still manages to restore the page I was reading before the switch. I don't think my apps lost their place in earlier versions of iOS. Have other people noticed this? Is there something different in how iOS 7 switches context that requires apps to save their state differently than before? This problem is an annoying time-waster!

Thanks for explaining how app's loss of state can happen. However, I'm sure that the behavior of the four apps I mentioned is much worse than just a few months ago. Something must have changed, and iOS 7 is the main difference. The Kindle app behaves as it used to, but the others do not. Maybe I should note the problem in reviews of the apps themselves in the App Store -- and down rate the apps.

Audio stream stops when I switch to another tab in Safari

I've got this radio station website which links to a live stream so you can hear the station online. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, on my Powerbook G4 running 10.4.9. Then my Powerbook died.
Enter my new MacBook Pro, still running 10.4.9. I try to listen to the same station, but everytime I start the stream, then switch to another tab to browse the internet, the audio stream stops.
BTW, the audio stream behaves properly when I use Firefox. Is there a reason why Safari can't keep on playing the audio stream when it's not in the active tab? Or have I got a bad configuration?
Many thanks, as always.

Nah, forget it; I just remembered what really used to happen (which still happens):
I used to open a new Safari window (not a new tab), open the radio stream in that new window, then switch to my previous Safari window with all my tabs. Then it works.
For some reason, I don't have to do this (i.e. open two different windows as opposed to two tabs) in Firefox.
I really like and prefer Safari to most browsers, but I have to admit, it's rather flaky in a number of ways. This is one of them.

IE 11 Parent Page/Tab refreshes automatically when we close Child page before completion of load

HI,
We have opened the application in IE 11 then when i am click on the button it will open another window, before it is opening fully we have closed the child page then it is refreshing parent page automatically because of this what ever the changes we
are having in the parent page got lost.
Please help me regarding the same. Thanks.

Hi ,
Would you please share us with more details?We will check whether it is caused by the website or the IE.
What kind of this application is ? Is it an add-on or a feature built-in the specific website?
Does this is problem occur on a specific website or all of the websites?Would you please share one problematic website with us if possible and give us a guide so I can test in my own machine?
Is it the first time to work with this application if it is an add-on?
If you are the developer of the IE application or website, then I suggest you post this issue in the

Robohelp - main page loops/refreshes continously when using Firefox

All,
I have read through all of the posts and unfortuantely I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
Problem: When accessing online help in Firefox, the main page loads for the most part but before it's complete, it reloads the main page again. This looping process is endless (main page reloading) and if I click on any links, the link will start to load and then main page starts to loads agan and again... When I access online help via IE, I do not experience the same problem. In IE, the main page loads and online help functions correctly. Ironically, another online help was created for a different product that is hosted on the same machine (linux) but when i access that help, i do not experience the looping problem.
I am using Firefox version 3.6.
Things that I have tried to fix the problem:
access online help in Firefox (safe mode)
use default theme
access online help in version 1.5 or 2.0 in firefox
change the page encoding
disable all plug-ins
I have also compared all of the javasript files from the working help and the problematic one and for the most part, everything is the same. The working help has 9 more js files but i think its because its context sensitive (not sure).
One way that I can stop the page from looping is by changing the encoding in the browser. No matter what its set to, if i change it and refresh the page, the looping stops but the Search field does not appear and after a short period of time, the pages doesnt respond.
Any ideas? Thank your for your time and consideration. If you would like to ask me some questions about this problem, my number is 703.227.4890. Thanks

You are correct Peter. The file is sent to me in a zip format. I have unzipped it and placed its contents in a folder. I accessed the .htm page that you asked me to. It works fine (locally).
To clarify -
I am experiencing the problem when i access online help from the application and by directly entering the url in firefox.
The other version that was developed for another product works correctly when i enter in the url in firefox and access the link directly. I do not have access to the application to navigatie from within it to online help but i am pretty sure that it works fine also.
the version is webhelp 5.5. sorry for the confusion.

In iOS 8 Safari often doesn't load pages without refreshing - anybody else seeing this?

Since upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 - and I also see this on my new iPhone 6 Plus which arrived yesterday - oftentimes when links are clicked on the page just hangs there. But then when I touch refresh it will immediately load. I never saw this prior to iOS 8. Are other people experiencing this as well?

Twitter page keeps refreshing...twitter support suggested it's a firefox add-on causing it?

When I'm on twitter, my page will keep randomly refreshing itself. Twitter support suggested it may be a firefox add-on that might cause this, but I don't know what to do with that information.

I have the same problem. I tried running firefox in safe mode and disabled all add-ons/themes but the problem persisted.
The plugins i have installed are:
itunes detector,
java,
logmein,
microsoft office,
quicktime,
flash,
silverlight,

Why do I loose page content from a tab when I switch to another tab? I have to refresh to restore the missing page content.

When I have multiple tabs open, I loose some or most of the page display contents when I leave that tab and then come back to it. I have to either refresh the tab to get the full page display back, OR I can click another tab and then quickly click back to the tab with missing page display. This will restore the display of all page content.

Could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Page Keeps refreshing

Hello, I am new to web development all around...but I have a
basic understanding and have built a simple 3 page website.
Everything is working fine except a page with an SWF file on it, it
refreshes when clicked on. There is an image on all 3 pages, but it
quickly blinks when I arrive on this 1 page, while staying "cached"
on the others.
I hope this makes sense, if anyone could offer some advice
I'd greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, I am getting access to an FTP soon and I'll post it.
Thank you for the reply

My browser pages keep refreshing on their own about every 5-10 min what can I do to stop this?

I had to replace my my hard drive. Since I replaced it and re-installed FireFox my web pages refresh on their own about every 5-10 min. Also as I am typing sometimes the cursor will jump to a prior point so I am typing in the middle of a word or whatever happens to be there. Is this a problem with my re-install or is there a setting some where that I don't know about? This happens every day.

In case anyone has this same issue ... my iPhone did stop doing this on its own. I can't tell you anything other than to keep trying. It took about two days, but it eventually allowed me to enter the information without resetting.

Firefox page stop refreshing(drawing) when the flash plugin exit full screen mode.

While watching youtube video from youtube.com in full screen mode (this is flash player full screen mode, not browser full screen mode), if you exit the full screen mode, some times the original page when the full screen was started from would stop drawing, not responding to the mouse click in the page area. The page will go back to normal if you click and drag the firefox browser title bar or just resize the browser window.
I initially found this issue with our company's browser plugin product when testing on Firefox 4. Then I went on trying the same scenario with youtube flash player, it is the same behavior.
It is not difficult to reproduce, if exiting full screen works fine, move the browser window a little bit and try it again. I can reproduce this once every 5 - 10 times. It is very annoying.
The same test case works on Safari, Google Chrome without any problem. Please fix this!

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:
