Airport connects then disconnects and Wifi stop's working.

This just started happening a day ago. I'll open my macbook (which it's on sleep) and I'll go on the Internet, five-ten minutes into me being on the Internet it will freeze and won't load. I click on my wifi connection and i'll click on the wifi i'm connected to and it will tell me to give a password, which I type in and it say's connection timeout. Also sometimes when I open my laptop there won't be any wifi bar's it's just empty, so I click on it and it will say airport off, so I try to click airport on and it won't let me. I have to restart the computer for me to get on the Internet. I've looked at a few different thing's online and it seems it's happening to other people but I don't understand how to fix it. Can anyone help? thank you.

Hi bobmyron,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the Mac will connect and disconnect from two different networks. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Everytime I try to connect my iPod to my iMac it would connect then disconnect and etc. Any help?

I have an iPod 5th generation. Both my iPod and iMac are up to date on everything. The wire is fine and also are the usb ports. Everytime I plug my iPod in the iMac it wouldn't be able to connect to iTunes and it would keep on connect and disconnecting. Anyone who experienced this got through the problem and tell me the solution?

Try going to settings/general/reset/reset network settings and do that

When i plug the USB for my iPad into my computer it will connect then disconnect over and over again untill i wiggle the usb around alot. This is happening to all my ports. But not on the other computer.

Hi. Whenever i plug my iPad (Happens with ipod and iphone too) to my computer usb for itunes is will connect, then disconnect over and over again. It has happened for a long time but doesnt happen on my other computer. how do i fix this?

If you have a spare cable, try using that. But the fact that this doesn't happen on your other computer (I assume using the same old cable) leads me to conclude that something else is at work. Maybe even the "bad" computer.

My internet continually disconnects. When I added my airport express, I had to call Verizon (my provider) and have them "bridge" my modem. Ever since, my connection constantly disconnects and puts up the message "Could not find a PPPoE server".

Any ideas? I probably have something wrong in my computer settings.

You should restore your modem to router condition and set the Airport Express to 'Bridge Mode'. A full explanation and the method of doing this is here:

When charging phone it connects then disconnects over and over

for some reason tonight when i am charging my phone it keeps disconnecting. i haven't done anything to the phone today other than using it. itunes says to restore but the phone keeps connecting then disconnecting. what should i do? take it in to at&t? no apple store around me.

AT&T doesn't do repairs. Either need to take to Apple store or call 1-800-MY-IPHONE and choose for the "ship it in" option where they will send you a pre-paid return box to ship it in and send it back to you after.
However, issue could be your cable, or your computer just having issues as well. If you have access to another cable, I would try that, also with a reboot. I would also see if you can charge with the wall adaptor with your current cable, if you can, it may just be your computer is having an issue with it.

IPhone 4s keep connecting then disconnecting with new MBA

Hi,
New MBA i5/4g/128 arrived this afternoon. During few hours of setting all my stuff, everything works just fine.
But when I try to connect my iPhone 4s with a official cable, it keeps connecting then disconnecting(about 2 times per second) and won't stop.
Is there anyone met the same issue? please help. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply
I've tried 2 cables at home. 1 is a offical cable and another one is a 3rd party cable, both of them didn't work, and both of them work perfectly with other PCs.
After read your reply, I decide to try another 3rd party cable at office, it worked.
No idea why, but maybe MBA choose cable more sensitively?
Anyway thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Share screen connects, then disconnects

I have a stumper. My screen share with my parents connects, then freezes and disconnects after 10 seconds of "innactivity"
I can see the screen, so it doesn't seem likely it's a firewall issue. Thoughts?

Hi,
Error 20 "No Data for 10 secs" is a message that iChat gives when the connection is lost other than iChat saying "Bye" properly.
The most common of these are things in the Router or modem software that is designed to stop Internet Attacks.
Denial Of Service (DoS) if you have it is threshold based.
When "Too much data comes Too Quickly" it cuts the one port that this happens on.
With modern Internet Speeds and the amount of Video Data iChat can send you can "bump" into this and it will cut the Chat and give you the 10 Secs Error message.
A related Filter for use of a better word is Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
This tries to judge if the data is valid.
In Video chats it can get overwhelmed (in a simplistic view) but it cuts that one Data stream to the same Effect in iChat.
I had not heard of the last of these two being an issue for Screen Sharing but they both would be worth checking out and Disabling.
A reason for not even getting Error 20 (You get Error 8 instead) is if the port for the Screen Sharing part is not open.
A iChat Screen Sharing takes two ports - One for the Audio chat that goes with on port 16402 and a random port for the Screen Share itself.
If your Modem if it routes or you router is using UPnP to allow the ports iChat needs then there should be no problem
Port Forwarding the ports in the routing device can be an issue as the Screen Sharing port is random and not likely to be open.
I don't think from your description that this is the case for you but it would be helpful to exclude it.
Of course the issue may be on the other end and their Error log code would give clues.

Losing connection using facetime and wifi drops off. Why?

Try connecting on facetime and when i try it says connection lost and my wifi goes off for a few seconds then comes back on. I tryed turn facetime on and off and it works once. then i try it again and connection is lost and wifi does the same thing.

Yes, I went to settings and turned wifi off. Thought at first I wasnt letting it set for a sec or two before shutting the iPad off. so now I wait like a minute or two before shutting the iPad down. didnt seem to help. Tried actually logging out of facebook when I was done with it, worked for about 4 days, and now it has started coming on and coming online again,, I went through my notifications and shut things off, Well see if it works. thank you.

Insignia headphones connecting then disconnecting.

I am relatively new to Bluetooth and I wanted to use Bluetooth headphones with my Mac Mini. I bought the Insignia NS-BTHDP headphones/headset and it has successfully paired with the Mac Mini as indicated in the Bluetooth preference pael. When I first turn the headphones on the indication will change to "connected" but within a few seconds it changes back to "not connected" and the indicator lights on the headphone alternately flash blue and red indicating that it is in pairing mode. I tried disconnecting both the Bluetooth mouse and Bluetooth keyboard to see if it was a bandwidth problem but this did not help. In the Bluetooth preference panel I have selected to use the Insignia as headphones and not a headset. I am sitting less than 10 feet away when trying to get it to connect so it should not be a distance problem.
Any suggestions?
TIA

having same problem w/ a Southwing headset/headphones. just started recently. set will pair, connect, then disconnect. also does same thing w/ older motorola earpiece headset. both devices worked fine until one week ago. i've tried everything still can't get "connected" to hold.

The green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

the green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

Unfortunately, green blinking is usually a symptom of an internal electrical problem on the AirPort Express.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort:
Power down the Express
Wait ai few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug it back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
You want to see a slow blinking amber light at this point, indicating that the Express has been reset to factory defaults. You can reconfigure it again now.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and this does not help, I am afraid that the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.

Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.

Airport connects then disconnects and Wifi stop's working.
