Brand New Macbook loses connection after a few seconds causing my other products using wifi (android & iPad) to lose connection too. Very Frustrating

- Mac book is 3 days old
- The Mac book would connect for about 10 seconds with the WiFi then it would disconnect
- A prompt which states that another device is using the IP address which is in conflict with his Mac book
- Both the iPad and Android Phone lose internet connection when the Mac book attempts to access the WiFi signal of the DSL-2642B
Am really confused on why it hasnt been connecting, will connect to internet on my android phone and girlfirends iphones WiFi hotspots when i activate them but as i said the Macbook may connect to my router for a few seconds once i have unplugged and replugged my router but drops out and causes my other devices to drop out. The other Devices (Ipad and Android Phone) will connect and stay connected to my router only until i try to connect the macbook, prompting all devices to drop out.
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated

Find a location with a faster Internet connection. The slow connection message is telling you you have a slow connection or one that's too busy.

I have serious problems with I OS 6 - I am loosing internet connection after a few seconds or minutes. What can I do? Can I come back IO S 5.1.1.?

I am experiencing serious problems after downloading iOS 6. I am loosing my connection after a few seconds/minutes. What can I do? Can you come back to 5.1.1.? How can I do that?

You can't downgrade the iOS.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) 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 (Auto or Channel 6 is best). 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.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Airplay losses connection after a few seconds

When using my Iphone 4s connecting to apple tvm I lose connection after a few seconds.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Brand new Macbook Pro freezes after iTunes-update??

Updated itunes to 10.5.1 last night and now itunes and my brand new Macbook Pro freezes whenever I open iTunes. I got it last week and it has worked perfectly, but now it freezes and has trouble finding the wifi. What to do?? Can I somehow undo the update?

Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

Losing connection after a few seconds

Hi all,
My network connection drops after a few seconds from restarting network (with /etc/rc.d/network restart). This has started happening a few days ago and I don't remember doing anything out of ordinary. Conky still reports some (very little) network traffic (4.0kb down, 0.1kb up, around that), but no browser works, and even ping doesn't work. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Thank you

The right direction would be posting more info and checking some chardware is applicable: are you using wired or wireless, if wired, check the cable, restart the router if you're using one, are you using dhcpcd or some other app etc. etc.

.mov import - loses sound after a few seconds

Hi, this is my first time posting in a forum and using a video editor so I'm a REAL newbie! I have several .mov files that I took from my video camera that I am trying to import. When I add the first moving to the timeline the video looks great. However, the audio drops out after a few seconds. In the audio screen I can see squiggly lines show audio for the first few seconds and then just a flat line of no audio. I can't figure out what the problem is. Please help!
Thanks!

Exporting .avi to .mov using h264 loses sound after a few seconds

Here's a weird one. I am editing some movie clips, and when I do an export to .mov format using h264 compression, the audio drops out after a 8-10 seconds.
At first I thought it was happening after an edit jump, but nope -- it just cuts out for some reason. I also cannot export to MP4 format without losing the audio completely (shows as MPEG Layer 3 audio in the properties window of the original). When I look at the Properties for the exported movie, I can see the audio length is not the full length of the video.
I have edited clips like this before in QuickTime with no issues, not sure what is going on. I tested on MPEG Streamclip and I can export to either format with no sound issues.

Hello George,
Sorry I can't help you with your problem. But it is TOO much of a coincidence that YOU do everyday (try to, lately!) what I am trying for the first time-- converting .avi files to .mov files. I just got a cheap movie cam and it saves files to avi format. I am able to transfer them successfully to my Mac, but cannot find a third party avi converter. If you can help please email me: [email protected]
thank you for your time and I hope SOMEONE out there will help YOU!

I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

"What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

Adobe Flash Player dissapears after a few second leaving a blank white area

as described in the question title . the flash player was shown initially but disappears after a few seconds and all other pages with flash players had this problem with my firefox too . i have upgraded my firefox to the latest "16" and flash player to the latest "11.4" too . youtube is fine but other web pages doesn't work . Btw IE doesn't have this problem.

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. 
When in Safe Mode... 
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The default toolbar layout is used.
* The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
* Hardware acceleration is disabled.
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

My brand new Macbook PRO i5 can't connect to internet after sleep? It works fine after reboot.

I have a brand new Macbook PRO with the latest OS and the latest EFI. I haven't installed any 3'rd party products except Moneywell for my private finances. After a couple of days it couldn't connect to internet after sleep. I run the network diag and it says the connection is OK. Log out/in doesn't help. I have to reboot everytime it wakes up after sleep. Any clue?
br,
DAVID

I am having the exact same problem. It started with 10.7, was fixed with 10.7.1, then came back again with 10.7.2.

Brand new macbook pro slows down after I transfer files on from old computer

Hey, I just purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 3.5 GhZ Haswell processor, 500 gb of flash memory, 16 gb of RAM, OS X Mavericks, 17" retina display and while it's been great upon first booting up after I transferred over my music and books and docs from my old mac (about 150 gb worth (so I still have over 300 gb free on the new one)) I've seen a massive slow down and it's started giving me the beach ball of death which was the main reason I got a new macbook as my old one was beach balling so much it was nearly unusable. Very upset that this brand new stupidly expensive computer is already doing this. Any advice is apppreciated.

Either your RAM is no good, of poor quality, the wrong specs or it's not installed correctly or it got subjected to static electricity when you put it in.
Best Buy isn't as Mac centric, thus the quality of RAM that Mac's require may not be there.
You should have purchased from Crucial.com or Other World Computing or similar that tests the RAM to make sure it works the first time you put it in, as it costs everyone money to ship bad RAM back and forth.
I put in 16GB a couple of days ago, took five minutes and it works perfectly.
Nothing like top tier RAM for a top of the line machine, especially with all those tiny, easy to lose screws Apple uses.
