After installing the 8.1 update the Internet Sharing won't allow any devices to stay connected for more than a few hours.

Internet sharing is turned "on" and appears to be working, but really isn't. Locking the screen, restarting, or a hard reboot helps, but it is extremely aggravating not to be able to maintain a connection for more than a few hours at a time!

    Thank you so much for the info! I apologize for having asked for your device model as that is the forum you posted to. Also, I know that we've set the expectation that the device will remain connected as long as a demand for signal flows through it, but that may not be entirely the case. After a period of constant use, any device (including the Lumia 822) may require or force itself to stop.
You've mentioned that the device will freeze after a few hours usage. Is the device also connected to the charger while being used as a hotspot? If so, do you notice the device getting warmer than it normally would be?

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

  • HP 3050 will not stay on the wireless network for more than a few minutes at a time.

    My HP DeskJet 3050 J610 is constantly dropping the wireless connection. It won't stay on for more than a few minutes. If I power cycle, it comes right back on, but drops again after a few minutes. It will print fine from a USB. When it drops off, pings time out even though the device shows "ready" in Windows 7, Windows XP and OSX. I've done everything HP suggests - static IP, upgraded firmware, diagnostic tools, etc. I am out of options.
    I can hit print right now, printer shows as ready, then I will get a print error. If I go over and power cycle the printer, my document will print - most of the time. It will remain on the network for a few minutes, then stop working. As soon as I power cycle it, I get a few more minutes before it drops. It has always done this from day one.

    I don't have another wireless network close by that I could test it on. I'm a little isolated. i might be able to work out a time when I could take it by a friend's house, but he's over an hour away.
    I have a Win 7 laptop, a Win XP desktop and an old Mac Powerbook as well as an iPod Touch and iPad 3 that use my wireless network without any problems - besides the fact that hardly any of my devices will talk to the other... But that's an OS issue. They all see the network, and the printer after I cycle the power on it.
    My wireless router is a Netgear WNR2000. I remember monkeying with the channels when I frist got this printer a few months ago, but I don't remember what all I did. Since I did a firmware update on the router, the channel is now set to Auto. If there's a channel you think I should try, let me know what it is. The printer shows up on the list of devices in the router, but that may be because I have its address reserved for the static IP. Interestingly, the router sees the printer, even though my devices cannot. I did a ping just now while checking that, and got this - which is unusual. Normally they all time out.

    Is there a possibility that the printer is going into a standby state and having trouble waking when traffic hits? I don't know if that's possible, just seems like it looking at this.

  • Playing music through nano and auto stereo, while traveling...nano is set to shuffle, but if vehicle is stopped for more than a few minutes, nano restarts with same song everytime! How do I make it really shuffle the songs

    Having trouble with Nano shuffle while traveling.  It's connected to my vehicle stereo and set to shuffle. When I stop the vehicle for more than a few minutes, the music resumes with the same song it always starts with. How can I get it to keep shuffling after restarting the vehicle?

    Is the iPod actually doing the music playing?  If the iPod is connected using a USB port (on the car audio system) and docking cable, the car audio system is doing music playing.  The iPod is just acting as a storage device (like a USB flash drive) with song files.  So, in that setup, it does not matter whether the iPod is set to shuffle or not, because the car audio system is playing the songs.  Any change to how it plays songs would have to be a setting on the car audio system.

  • Connecting to the update has been connecting for more than 6 hourand is still trying to connect when will it finish downloading the suggested update?s, why? This update has slowed me down way too much.

    A window opened when I started that said " We strongly suggest that you update......" I did not want to but each time I turned my computer on the same window pops up with the "strongly suggest" and my computer began to run slower and stop lot. So I finally pressed the bar for more information..But never got any. My computer continued to keep "stop script" and run slow. So after several days of this I clicked on "Next" to download the update and it has been" Connecting to the update server" for over 6 hours now and still running little green boxes in a frame over and over and over. Why is this happening?

    Join the club Robert.
    My huge annoyance is how Preview converts ai, .eps and .ps files to .pdf files.
    It has progressively deteriorated from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    In Leopard it defaulted to saving the .pdfs to the Documents folder not the place of origin and would regularly crash if more than a few (sometimes just 2) files were opened simultaneously.
    In Snow Leopard nothing was fixed and now the names are stripped off the converted files so that they are all called Untitled.
    Apple must have received hundreds of bug reports (I diligently sent one every time Preview crashed) and several feedbacks detailing the problem, to the point I believe persecuting Designers and ruining their work has become a NEXT programmers secret objective.
    Except for a couple of minor bug fixes to do with drag & drop in Preview, I am puzzled where the so-called improvements in Snow Leopard really benefit user.

    Rudegar,
    Our network is very stable and we aren't seeing any problems with anything else and besides, these worked fine until we did the update.
    The wifi access point is in the same room about 6-8 ft. away and it's kind of hard to connect an appletv by ethernet to an iPad. 
    The appletv runs fine using it's built in applications, like Netflix, Disney, Radio, etc.
    All of this makes me think it's not a wireless problem, but it's something in the appletv software after doing the update that won't hold the iPad connection.
    I appreciate your suggestions and will pass your information along to our network person.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • I am updating my macbook pro.  Is it supposed to be greyed out for more than an hour to install stuff?

    I am very new to Mac.  I am updating the computer and it downloaded the software just fine.  But when i restarted it, it went grey and all i see on the display is a black curser with a white outline.  The download took about an hour and the install is taking about that long.  It did say that the updates would grey out the screen but it did not say how long.  Any help is appriciated..

    Welcome to the Apple discussions community!
    Whenever any operation on the Mac will take more than a few minutes, Apple developers work hard to make sure you get a progress bar and an estimate of how much longer until done.
    Something has gone wrong with your update. You will need to cancel it or power off, Repair your Hard Drive, and try again.
    As for how accurate these estimates until completion are ... we'll just leave that for another discussion.

  • My iPhone5 has terrible Network connection. It rarely works at the normal speed-if ever. I usually get 3G or 1x network dozens of times a day. My phone also gets pretty hot when i try to use any data for more than a few minutes.

    My iPhone5 network connection has been terrible for the past week and a half. My phone is no more than a year old so I don't see why it would be a problem with the phone. When I try to use the internet or look for apps or anything like that, anything that uses data really, it takes FOREVER if it even loads! Most of the time it won't even load. My network changes from LTE(which doesn't work well) to 3G(which works even less) and then to 1x(which basically doesn't work at all). This happens dozens of times a day. It's getting quite irritating. I've tried turning my phone off and letting it sit for a while and that does nothing. I'd really prefer NOT to restore my phone. What is the deal??!

    Are you broadcasting your SSID? Sometimes this can cause a problem connecting. Is this Cisco router running any turbo modes or special preparatory protocols.
    There are no know issues with Wi-Fi connectivity except on first connection; and the chance of 2 devices having the exact same issue is very unlikely. This sounds like something to do with your wireless router.
    Have you tried to connect to another Wi-Fi hotspot elsewhere?
    Do you have any 2.4 GHz wireless phones or security system that could interfere with connection?

  • AEBS can't keep an internet connection for more than 1 day...why?

    I continually have to reset my Ethernet cable on my cable modem to get connected to the internet.This is very frustrating. I had Apple send me a new unit and that still hasn't fixed the problem. The only thing that works is printer sharing.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same problems?

    According to Adobe...
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
    Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Cloud desktop applications?
    No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
    Seems like you would be ok, but I understand what you're saying, hopefully a Staff member will confirm.
