Can I actualy ever get my WIFI to work without it falling out all the time? got macbook pro 2011

My WIFI or Airport keeps losing connection when im online! All is good when im on the lead! but wireless my net is very unstable! the router is working all other pc's in the house are working just fine on there- IPODs too! Im a bit frustrated now and very disapointed that Apple is ok with shipping out macs that dont work! I can see im far from the only one with this problem!!! Another side effect from this problem is the very short range my WIFI provides!
Can anyone help me please? any new updates- settings proposals etc???! anything will do! thank you..

I'm having the same problem as you. Have a MacBook Pro 13, 2.53, late 2009. After I installed Lion my wifi has basically just stopped working. Most of the times I can connect with wifi, but it will fall out with certainty within half an hour. Often within just a few minutes. To resolve this I have choose my network from the list again, and sometimes I have to turn the wifi off and on again to get it working.
It is most definetily not my router. We have several phones and computers on the same network, and they don't experience any problems. I also have the same problem if I use someone elses network.
The problem occured after I installed Lion. After the last update I hoped this problem would be fixed. Anyone with some smart solution? Is Apple working on this?

Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

TB keeps getting Not Responding message. Screen freezes. Happens all the time. I am running STOPzilla anti-virus

I get the Not Responding message on both TB and Firefox all the time. I have seen issues using McAfee and a list of other Anti-Virus programs but I use STOPzilla and it is not listed at this time. It gets very annoying when typing something and the screen freezes for several seconds and have the Not Responding message and then it will work again. I am running TB 31.0 and Windows 7. Thank you.

Perhaps someone close (geographically) can give you a hand?
[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/view-cpu-utilization-performance-information#1TC=windows-7 This Windows Help article] explains how to check for resource use on your PC.
What I described is a one-step test in Thunderbird: ''On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". '' This would help determine if the problem is among an add-on installed in Thunderbird.
If that doesn't show improvement, the problem is not within Thunderbird but elsewhere in the system. Starting the computer in Safe Mode then helps confirm if the problem is in Windows (and not specifically in Thunderbird).
I understand you may not be comfortable doing this by yourself, perhaps ask someone close to help you in person, by showing them our answers here.

WIFI cutting out all the time, since I downloaded software version 10.8

Ever since I downloaded Mountain Lion 10.8 I have wifi issues. My wifi continually cuts out, I have to turn wifi off and turn it on again to connect. This occurs every 5 to 10 minutes. I have looked at other solutions but none have worked. I have reset everything but the same problem persists. I think its a software issue, any help would be aprrecuated.

Yes, same problem here. It is a widely experienced problem by a host of users that upgraded to 10.8 (it's unclear if it started with 10.8 or 10.8.2). E.g.: MacRumors has a long discussion on this, and it's just one of the many sites with many complaining users: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1451152
Here's what I've figured out so far, and this is after living with the problem (and trying to fix it now) for many weeks, and perusing many online resources:
The problem in question (that I'm discussing) is one where your Mac network connection completely hangs. Attempts to open a web browser, for instance, hang for about a minute, and then you get the "cannot find the web site" page. Likewise, any network access (ssh, telnet, email, ping) are all completely blocked, as if you had no network at all -- and yet, at the same time, you've got 5 bars on your wifi status and a solid connection to the router. Network status in your settings all looks fine.The most common fix at this point is to either 1) turn off wifi and restart it, which almost always works, or 2) go ahead and restart the router, which annoys the heck out of everyone else in the office but also works fine.
The problem is probably related to an update to the 10.8.2 network stack. Ignore anyone that says something like "reset your router," this is not the issue. This can be verified easily enough: Are any other devices on the router impacted? No? Then the router is fine (here we have about a dozen computers, iPads, and an AppleTV, and a VOIP phone system on the router -- they all keep working fine, it is only the MacBooks that were updated to 10.8.2 that exhibit the problem.
The problem is apparently specific to the 802.11 'n' protocol. We successfully reconfigured our router so that it supports two different networks, one 802.11g "Boss Logic" and one 802.11n "Boss Logic 5Ghz." In other words, we switched it up so that you can use a 'g' network ("Boss Logic") or an 'n' network ("Boss Logic 5Ghz"). All the PC users are happily using the higher speed 5Ghz network -- and all the Mac users are now, unhappily, using the older 'g' network. If your router supports this (having a dual configuration, such as the Apple Airport routers do) then it's a great fix... at some performance cost. We've done this here, and yes, it did absolutely work, no hangs since switching over.
I have read elsewhere that you might be able to continue using the 'n' network, if you change your MTU size to a non-1500 settings. I'm giving this a shot and will see how it goes. (Just go into settings and change your wireless network 'hardware' tab to use an MTU of, say, 1495). Good luck if you try this.
Hope this helps and let's all cross our fingers and hope Apple starts paying attention. It seems like it's been an eternity... but it's probably only been a month or two. But hey getting booted off the network a few times a day can be a really, really annoying experience.

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

Hi I got a iPad 1 for Christmas and I want kik and google and stuff that needs iOS 6 solo how can I git them and when I play a game my apps close all the time

I need the iOS 6 for my iPad 1 can apple plz make one or help me out with the stuff to git kik and stuff that need iOS 6 plz responde

Unfortunately you cannot install iOS 6 on an iPad 1, the latest release it supports is iOS 5.1.1. So any apps that require a later version of iOS than that are not useable on your iPad.

Shockwave player is either busy or has stop working...this happens all the time. How can I correct this problem?

Every five minutes or so I keep getting warning signs that Shockwave player is either busy or has stopped working do I want to continue or stop plugin. How can I fix this problem? I have refreshed firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed and still this problem persists.

Can you post a link to where this happens? A screenshot may help as well: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Also your operating system and Shockwave Player version?

I can no longer download and save files. They are now saved with a ".part" suffix that I can not use or open. What happened, I used to do this all the time?

Downloads seem to be happening normally at first but the file shows up with a file extension of ".part" that I can not use or open. If I refresh the folder where it was downloaded to, it disappears as though it wasn't there at all.
I used to do this and it just yesterday started to give me problems. It doesn't seem to matter what file type I do this with as PDF, MP3 and EXE files have all shown this problem.
Please help!

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. 
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Hi D4309.
You probably have a troublesome font installed that causes this (e.g. Helvetica Fractions). If that's the case, get rid of it:

The same thing happends with 30, 32 and 32 versions.
Some time ago I found a solution in internet (the solution make me do things in about:config) and that new configuration works very well (in my desktop computer)... Now I dont remember which changes I made and i can´t find the same solution to apply in my notebook.
So... in my Notebook Gmail doesn´t work with FireFox... and in my desktop, works fine. My Notebook is more powerfull than my desktop machine.
I try other solutions suggested in Firefox Forums but the issue continues... (Factory Reset, Re-install, Javascript not enabled... etc etc) Nothing work...
So in my Notebook I use Firefox (browser that I love and i been using from version 2 or 3) and Google Chrome (Browser that I DON´T LOVE AT ALL) for Gmail
Thanks in advance for any help
