Airport connection shuts off after a while and can't be turned on again

I have MacBook Pro alu-body (bought in March) and have the following strange problem. I got my MacBook back s few days ago from my Apple reseller who had to fix my laptop as the iSight camera wasn't working anymore. But sincethen, when I'm connected to the internet via my Airport, after a while (this can be 10 mins or so) suddenly the Airport switches of and can't be switched on again using the Network preferences utility. The very strange thing however is that I'm using a widget from a Classical Radio station to listen to the radio, that music (live streaming) is still okay, but at the same time I can't use my Airport as I can't switch it on again. So, I only can do then is to restart and the problem will occur after let's say 10 - 15 minutes or so.
I ran Apple hardware test and did some other test with Techtool Pro 5, but couldn't find anything wrong.
What can/should I do?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks, but the problem is more complicated I guess. I just had the same problem, but now my MacBook Pro was completely frozen .... I couldn't do anything any more besides restarting.
After the restart, the Aiport doesn't come up again - ergo: the symbol on top of my MacBook is shows that the Aiport hasn't been installed: when I click on this symbol there is a text which says:'There is no Aiport card installed!'. So the system doesn't seem to find the Aiport card. When I use the 'Systemprofile' under the Apple and select Network > Aiport-card I can read 'no information has been found'.
I don't get it .... is this a hardware or a software problem?

    You will have to restore the phone using your computer. You may need to use Recovery Mode if it doesn't appear in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

  • MSI GT70 2PE Pro Shuts off after power up and sleep mode, then works

    I got this laptop less than a year ago and I am kinda getting upset about my decision buying it. It is the GT70 Dominator Pro with the GTX880M graphics card.
    Only thing I did was install a SSD drive for my main drive and use the 1TB drive that it came with as a storage drive. Everything was working perfectly for about 4 months without any issues.
    My problem started with the laptop shutting off in the middle of playing Watch dogs and wouldnt boot to windows, so i went to the BIOS and found out for some reason it changed my primary drive to the storage so i changed it back and all was good. After about a month it similar thing happened but this time I couldnt even get to the BIOS, after pressing the F10 or whatever it is for BIOS the computer freezes in a black screen.
    I contacted MSI and sent it out for warranty, they had to change the whole motherboard as it was not serviceable (Issue was a faulty MB).
    Last week the laptop started acting up again, here is my issue. When powering it on the fan and light comes on but after couple of seconds it turns off, then powering it on for 2nd time it works. This happens 80% of the time, i have to turn it on twice before it works.  Even more frustrating thing is when it is at Sleep mod, I press the power to wake it up, so it does but before getting to windows screen it shuts off.
    I was wondering if anyone have similar issue like mine or know what could cause this. My tower PC that i built have a MSI board and graphic card thats why I went with their laptop but I had pretty bad experience with it so far and its not a cheap laptop either. I might have to go through another warranty work if it keeps giving me the issue.

    Try update IRST driver.

  • Need to Create a Live Update Smart Playlist That Shuts Off After a While

    Hi All--
    I'm trying to create a smart playlist with the following properties:
    1) Every time I play it, it selects a different random set of songs.
    2) The playlist plays for a fixed duration, then shuts off.  (I like to go to sleep to music, but it wakes me up in the middle of the night if it plays for too long.)
    The best I've been able to come up with is to set "not played in the last xx days", "Limit to yy minutes selected by random", and "live updating".  However, there's a problem with this:  as soon as one song has played, it's purged from the list, which causes live updating to replace it with a new song.  As a result, this creates a list that plays forever, since new songs are continuously added to replace the ones that have been played.
    I tried turning off live updating, but then I'm stuck with the same songs over and over.  I also know about the trick of just using "select random" and deleting the contents of the list, so that live update will repopulate it, but that won't work on an iPod without doing it in iTunes and then re-syncing.
    Any ideas?

    OK, I think I finally found a way to do this, sorta.  This will work on any iPod or iPhone that supports live update and allows the creation of ad-hoc playlists, either named or on-the-go:
    1) Create the list as described above.
    2) Sync to iPod or iPhone
    3a) On a non-touch iPod, highlight the playlist and hold down the select button until you get the menu with "add to on-the-go" in it, and select that.
    3b) On an iPod touch or iPhone, create a new playlist, then select the dynamic list and "add all songs" to it.
    The playlist you created isn't dynamic, so you'll just play through it once and stop.  Deleting the contents from the temporary list and doing step 3a/b over will get you a new set of songs.  The dynamic list will purge the songs and update with new ones as you play them from the static list.
    It's not perfect, but it's reasonably fast to get a time-bounded selection of music that refreshes each time you want to play the list.

  • LaserJet 1102W lost connection to network after firmware update and can't reconnect.

    I have used the LaserJet 1102W on my Wifii network for some time.  I use MacOSX 10.7 on one laptop and OSX 10.8 on my new Retina Macbook Pro.  I updated the firmware to get access to ePrint and lost wirless connections.  I have tried many times to reestablish network connection as instructed thru System Preferences and continue to get the response that my Wep Key is invalid.  I have many items using the Wep key including apple tv, phone, ipad and it is the correct wep key.  My network is Wep 128.  Is there some way I'm suppose to split the key between the 4 available wep key spaces?  My router is a Linksys WRT320N, Mac Book Air running 10.7.4, Mac Book Pro running 10.8.2.  I have been trying to setup the network wireless with the Mac Book Air.  I can print with both computers via USB.

    I updated a P1102w that we have here to firmware version 20120814 and haven't had any problems with it. I set a static IP and set the DNS to a preferred of 8.8.8.8 and an alternate of 8.8.4.4, and haven't had a problem with anything from a Windows system. I ran into a problem printing from Safari on a Mac running OS 10.8, but that was the only program with the problem. I even turned the printer off and back on several times to make sure the IP settings would stick, and they have. If you've done that and are still having problems, try power cycling your entire network. I'll link a document that will help to get the printer on the network steadily below. If you are still in warranty, HP may replace the printer at no cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

  • Airport Express shut off after VPN connection (Win XP)

    Hi all,
    I bought an Airport Express (AE) the other day to stream iTunes tracks to me distant speakers. I am using a laptop, Windows XP, SP 2. I all works brilliantly.
    However, the moment I am connecting through VPN (Cisco Client) to my university, AE is no longer recognized.
    The VPN is configurated that it only allows IPsec / UDP. Ports cannot be added. It runs on port 1000.
    Is there anything I can do to make the AE reappear during a VPN-session? I need to be connected via VPN most of the time.
    I would greatly appreciate your input!!
    Thanks!
    Til

    By default, the security appliance allows IPsec packets to bypass interface access control lists (ACLs). In order to allow specific traffic for a VPN tunnel, apply interface access lists. Complete these steps (apart from the basic VPN configuration) on the PIX/ASA:
    1. Use the no form of these commands in order to disable sysopt connection permit-ipsec on PIX version 6.3 and sysopt connection permit-VPN on PIX/ASA version 7.x.
    2. Create an access-list for traffic that goes into the outside interfaces. Refer to this access-list example in order to allow only Telnet traffic:
    access-list outside_in extended permit tcp 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 eq 23
    3. Create an access group and bind it to the outside interface. For example:
    access-group outside_in in interface outside

  • I turned the Ipad off after a game and now will not turn back on. Any clues?

    I just finished playing a game on my new Ipad, turned it off and now it will not turn back on! The battery was charged. Nothing comes on the screen when I plug it in to the charger either. Any clues?

    Be sure to try charging it off the wall plug, not a USB cable to your computer - USB connections generally do not supply enough power for an iPad.

    Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
    As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
    If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

  • Ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when connect the charger my ipad2 is not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

    ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when i connect the charger with my ipad2,  its not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

    If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
    If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
    It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

  • IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

    iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
    Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
    Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
    Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
    Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?
    FLAGSTAFFLAR

    Fixed!
    Two things together have restored connectivity.
    1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
    2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
    I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • My MacBook Pro starts and shuts off after loading for sometime

    My MacBook Pro starts and shuts off after loading for sometime

    Try starting in Safe mode by holding down the Shift key while booting. Safe mode takes a while to load the OS. After that, restart the computer normally.
    If that does not work, start up in Recovery by holding down the Command and R keys. In the window that opens, choose Disk Utility at the bottom and verify and repair your disk. Repair permissions while you are there.

    I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
    I hope you get your problem resolved.

  • IPod Touch shuts off after being locked 4 a while

    Hello, My iPod touch 4th generation will shut off after being locked. Sometimes when I lock it for 3 minutes it'll shut off I will click the sleep/wake button or home button and it'll do nothing, So I have to reset it by holding sleep/wake button for 30 seconds or something. One time I set a alarm for 3 minutes and it went off and it showed on the iPod's screen and froze! What I did was: settings, general, auto-lock and put to never because if I'll let it lock for more than 3 or 5 minutes it'll shut off. Any one know a reason this might be happening?
    Thanks for reading
