Connection suddenly lost

I had the problem that my iChat av connection was suddenly lost after x minutes.
What helped in my case was changing my screensaver settings to f.a. 30 min.
System preferences>desktop&screensaver.
Hope this helps if you expirience simular problems.

Hi Ralph,
It was a screensaver that was supposed to a be "energy-saver".
The sreensaver was distributed by the ABN-Amro bank as a goodie download.
The computer went to sleep after 10 min and when you would wake it,
it toke more time to get the HD up to speed than normal. (and ofcourse the connection was lost). It looked like the screensaver started evenwhile a video chat was running...
I have no sreensaver running now and connection is stable.
By the way, I am now able to video chat with 4 buddies at one time.
Even beyond ten minutes.
The MacPro was hosting. Other connected computers were two G4 powerbooks and one other Probook.
Great!
Regards
JP

  • Suddenly lost connection to my wifi and my phone can't find it again?

    I was just using my iphone 4s normally and it suddenly lost connection to my home's wifi. I have been trying for hours, reset the wifi modem and turned it on and off, put my phone through recovery mode- the whole lot. Please help!!!

    Howdy whitneyavon,
    It sounds like you are unable to either connect to, or see your home Wi-Fi network. I would first, update your router, then reset your network settings. Assuming you restored from a backup, my thought is that the backed up network settings may need to be refreshed:
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • Have suddenly lost ability to connect to internet. Account and bills up to

    I have suddenly lost ability to connect to the internet, include itunes and App Store. Account and bills up to up date. ANy assistance appreciated

    I am having this problem as well. In the last week or two, my calendars haven't been syncing properly. Nothing goes updates to my main computer from the phone. Then in the last few days I could only access the internet sporadically, today not at all. No map showing in the gps, safari doesn't work, no weather... It says 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'. The 3G wheel is spinning and shows that there is service.
    I reset my phone completely a couple of days ago, reset history/cache, etc in settings, have turned it off and on, etc with no change.

    My Photoshop Elements 11 has suddenly lost contact with my CanoScan 9000F with the following message..."CanoScan 9000.  software for this device could not be launched.  The drive is not connected or is busy."  How do I regain connection?

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • TS3274 ipad mini suddenly lost wi-fi and will no longer reconnect with known networks

    My ipad mini (wi-fi only) suddenly lost wi-fi connection and will no longer reconnect with known networks...
    Its done it to 2 seperate networks (home and work) which makes me think its the ipad rather than a network problem...??
    Ive tried to forget the network and then re-join but i keep getting the message "Unable to join the network"
    Any clues on how to fix??

    Hello moniciampi
    Continue with resetting the network settings on your iPad mini by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. There are some other options to test out with the steps in the article below.

  • My iPhone 3G has suddenly lost vibration and sound/ringtones(also does not change aspect when tilted). An incoming phone call can be answered but no sound is heard from the speakers9even though the caller can hear what I am saying). Any ideas?

    My 3G iPhone has suddenly lost all sound and vibration, it has also lost the "tilt" capability on-screen. An incoming call is registered without a sound, however, the caller can hear everything being said by me(whilst I hear nothing at all from his/her call).
    Any suggestions??

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • Connection Timeout/Lost on C350:

    Hello,
    We've got a C350 installed at an ISP customer and recently, they've started to experience some major mail receiving problems with a specific domain(one of their major partners).
    Connections are lost and some even get the 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address Error.
    The Partner is using MS Exchange and using a WiMax connection to the ISP.
    Exchange is sending mail directly and the mail is going through a PIX for Wimax customers and then going through ISP PIX before entering the C350.
    SMTP Fixup turned off on both PIX.
    See below, most of the time, the connection is initiated but after 20-50 minutes, the connection is lost. I've configured the timeout to 1 hour on IronPort:
    22 Jun 2008 12:08:32 (GMT +0400) Message 1644287 on incoming connection (ICID 10308995) added recipient ([email protected])
    22 Jun 2008 12:50:59 (GMT +0400) Incoming connection (ICID 10308995) lost.
    22 Jun 2008 12:50:59 (GMT +0400) Message 1644287 aborted: Receiving aborted
    Second Issue:
    501 5.5.4 Invalid Address, when mails are sent from the partner to ISP client.
    Can you please help me on this?
    Is there a timeout settings on the PIX which could be causing this problem?
    Note that the partner can send mails to anywhere else and no problem. Same for the ISP.
    Thanks,
    Vinesh

    Hi all,
    I had a similar problem with you.
    My user is complaining that outgoing mail had rejected by ironport suddenly.
    How can i to get the ironport best practices in the production environment especially for sending huge of outbound email?
    Where is the alert and logs to prove the ironport had reject these connection?
    How can I set these alert to monitor like the workqueue is full or the concurrent TCP connection is overloaded?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Can't purchase: the dreaded "network connection was lost" error.

    I'm suddenly having iTunes problems, but they haven't been prompted by anything. I have 2 iTunes accounts: one works just fine for purchasing, the other generates this error message when I click "BUY" or when I click "Purchase" from within my Wish List:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost. There was an error in the ITunes Store. Please try again later.
    I just updated to the latest OS, and re-downloaded the latest iTunes hoping that would help, but no luck. One account still works just fine, the other won't download at all.
    I found similar issues in the forums, so I also repaired disk permissions, and also did a Keychain First Aid. Those didn't help either. I looked at my network settings, and nothing has changed in there either.
    I also read that it could be a MobileMe issue: my Mobile Me account name is the iTunes account that's not working, but my non-mobile-me account name works just fine.
    I'm completely & totally stumped. Googling for the possible answer only yields threads from 2-3 years ago. Has anyone had this problem recently, and perhaps found a fix for it? I'm stuck!
    Kirby

    I'm still stuck on this one. I've tried repairing permissions, doing Keychain first aid... nothing helps. I've also installed the most recent version of iTunes, hoping that would fix the problem, but no dice. I even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but that didn't work either.
    I'm not running any kind of virus protection software on my mac, and I don't have any custom firewall settings: they're defaulted to whatever they were at original startup.
    It's not my cable modem, because my laptop can download without a problem from either account, but my desktop keeps hitting the wall of this error. I've scoured the web high and low, and unfortunately can't find any fixes. But I've encountered plenty of people who've had the same problem. I feel like there must be an errant file somewhere, or corrupt preference file, or a box ticked that shouldn't be ticked: something is making this error message pop up over and over again. I've also read that it has something to do with MobileMe users (which I am) but I don't understand how that would impact my ability to purchase a song.
    I'm truly stumped, and I'm usually good at this stuff. Help!

  • Extreme suddenly lost range

    My airport extreme suddenly lost it's range last night. We were working on the computer, where we always do, and the internet just disappeared. I have my extreme upstairs (for the last 6 months) and have NEVER had a problem, maybe usually only lose 1 bar, anywhere in the house. Now I can't connect at all when I'm downstairs, and I drop down to 1-2 bars when I'm in the NEXT room. Anyone know why this might suddenly happen? Thanks,
    Wade
    oh yeah, and I have full bars when I'm in the same room. No new materials have been added anywhere in the house.

    As well as above, I would set the base station to only accept n connections if that is not set already. If you don't have it set to the 5ghz band yet, also try that, as your interference might be something other than another wireless network.
    If you set your base station to only accept "n" connections this will eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by someone else connecting at the slower speed, forcing your network to operate in b/g mode.
    For some reason, my base station does not have channel selections when it's in the 5ghz mode although it hasn't been an issue for me. The only setting it will accept is automatic, but I haven't had any interference issues while it is in 5ghz mode.

  • Suddenly lost wireless keyboard, why?

    Hey world,
    I suddenly lost my connection with my wireless keyboard. Batteries OK. If I try to find ANY bluetooth device my keyboard shows up in the list, but pairing isn't possible. If I want to try to connect via setup and choose for keyboard it stays searching for it without succes.
    Is my keyboard defect? Is there any way to control if it's broken? Any help welcome!

    Like many others, I’ve had a lot of trouble pairing my Apple wireless keyboard w/ my computer (a G4 laptop) via Bluetooth. It usually works, but sometimes when I restart my computer I loose my Bluetooth connection. I go the Bluetooth Device Set Up, select Keyboard or Any Device, reboot my keyboard, select my keyboard, but after Assistant says it’s “gathering information about your device” I keep getting “The pairing attempt was unsuccessful…” !!!
    I’ve repaired permissions, restarted countless times, deleted bluetooth plists, updated wireless keyboard firmware, changed batteries...
    Any other suggestions? Thanks!
