Disconnect every few days

I have the Airport Time Capsule and very few days the light goes amber and all connections are lost. After about 5 mins, it restores. WHY?

What model TC with what firmware??
Check the logs, it may show what is happening.
There are reasons too numerous to mention and you have given no data on which to base an analysis of the problem.. nothing.. nought.. even at our magical best we cannot conjure answers from thin air.
Post the logs.. showing the time this event happens.
Tell us the full operating status of the TC.. is it bridged, router, joined to a network.
Does the modem also cycle in the same way?
For instance, most people are on dynamic IP address.. the ISP rotates public IP and equipment can need a little while to pickup the change.

Time Capsule disconnects every few days

Hi, my Time Capsule disconnects every week to ten days, as indicated by a flashing yellow light. To reconnect it, I have to unplug and disconnect it from the ethernet cable. It's then able to reconnect until the next failure. This seems to be a different problem than previously described in this forum, as it is not able to reconnect on its own.
I'm using an iMac running on OS 10.6.8.
Capacity is 999.9 GB of which 192 GB is used on disc.
The Time Capsule is a 1TB Sim Dualband Time Capsule bought on May 21, 2011. It's past the end of the one year warranty but has been doing this pretty much from the start.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

How do I access the logs?
logs are in advanced area of v5 utility. there is no access to logs in the v6 utility.. I guess Apple thought that looking at logs was beyond the average users ability so no longer needed in new slick interfaces.
Use v5 utility.. if you run Lion download it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you are on Mountain Lion.. then you will need to trick it to install. Download and install and run unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download the 5.6 utility from reference above.. open the dmg file to see the pkg file.. AirPortUtility56.pkg.. drag that file over unpkg.. it will create a new directory on your desktop. of the same name.. drill down, Applications, Utilities. There is the real utility.. drag it to your main Applications Utilities directory. Ignore completely the toyland v6 and run only 5.6.
"is the TC router or bridged or worse possible, join wireless network." - Are you saying joining a wireless network may fix it or that being in one may be the cause?
Thanks.
You have not provided any indication of the network layout. If you want to pursue this I need full info..
Is the TC the main router or in bridge mode?
What broadband do you have? What modem? Is it a router?
Have you tested with the TC out of operation.. with another router?
Give complete details... that way we can narrow down the issue and work out if the TC is in best possible mode.
The worst mode as I indicated above is join wireless due to wireless being flakey at any time and TC not the most stable. This will be slow, although ironically the other problems might stop.. who knows unless you try it.
What OS is your computer running? If you are on Mountain Lion, well join the club.. this is a major issue and I doubt there is a solution.
But you can start by setting SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric for everything.
TC name ... TC
Wireless names.. different for both bands. TC24ghz TC5ghz
Hard disk share name.. Data
If the TC is the main router set very short lease time for dhcp.. 20min. and see if that improves anything.

Does it create a problem if I only connect the backup external drive every few days for use with Time Machine? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

After a near miss with my 4-year old MacBook, I finally wised up and purchased a WD My Passport for Mac to back up my hard drive. I connected the Passport today and have performed the first full backup. However, I do not wish to keep it permanently connected to the laptop. Does this create a problem if I only connect the drive every few days? Should I have purchased Time Capsule instead?

Hello,
I don't think it'll cause a problem, but I'd disable/turn off Time Machine before disconnecting, then turn it back on after you connect it again.

My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
6. See also this support article.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Late 2012 iMac Freezes every few days

My iMac has been in the Apple Store for a week with the Geniuses and they came back saying they couldn't find anything so putting this out to this community in the hope someone else can help. Here are the details.
Model: 21.5 inch Late-2012 iMac
RAM: 8Gb
Processor: 2.9Ghz Intel Core i5
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Hard Drive: 1.12 Tb Fusion (653Gb free)
OS: 10.8.4
Software: Fairly vanilla with no MS or Adobe Apps. No system extensions or hacks installed.
Symptom: Every few days or so the iMac locks up. Certain running applications will still work but many common ones such as Pages, Aperture, App Store & TextEdit will hang when trying to open. Force Quitting them doesn't affect them. When I try to shut down the computer it goes to the grey screen and stays there. Eventually the power needs to be turned off to reboot it. This has been doing this for the last several months.
Solutions Tried:
- Fixed permissions
- Reset PRAM
- Re-install OS X
I can't replicate the crash but today it happened again. At around 3:50pm I went to the iMac and noticed that Pages wouldn't load. Force quitting the App didn't do anything. Aperture was not responding so force quit that. Still wouldn't re-open. Mail was working fine and I was able to send a test message. Safari worked fine. Launched System Preferences ok but could not launch TextEdit or App Store. Calendar opened and closed fine. Attempted to restart the Mac but got the grey screen and after 5 minutes of waiting turned the computer off & relaunched it.

Notice that the last Console entry was at 2:47pm (in red) and then nothing. I went to use the computer at 3:50pm and did several actions on it. Plugged in iPad, opened iTunes. Copied a file from the iPad to the desktop. Prior to that it hadn't been used for several hours. The shutdown that I selected does not appear in the log (although it only managed to go to the grey screen rather than complete a full shut down).
Appreciate any clues at all here. This is very frustrating and has been going on for far too long.
TIA. Jordan

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

I need to share a file with sec.(windows based). She uses it all the time. I need to just download updated version every few days. I have an old airport extreme and was hoping to attach an external drive. Will this work?

I need to download an updated version of a file every few days to use. My secretary works on the file all the time. I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this. At work we alll use pc's. How can i make this work? At the moment we use usb stick to transfer which is getting to be a bit of a pain as the file grows every week. Presently 5GB.

I thought i could use my old airport extreme and attach an external HD and set up a network to do just this.
Yes, you can use either the 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to attach an external USB HDD for file sharing. Either AEBS model would allow you to share out this HDD to either Macs or PCs. From the PC, the shared HDD would appear as a network drive which you can map via Windows Explorer.

IPhone loses WiFi every few days

Hi. My iPhone 4S has been acting strange recently. Every few days or so my WiFi will stop working. It shows In the corner that it's connected but nothing that uses the Internet works. I go into Settings and turn WiFi off and on and it tries to connect but the wheel just spins next to the network name. Other devices in my house work fine during that time but the iPhone won't connect. Usually the only way I can get it working again is to reset my network settings on the phone.
I'm wondering if it's my router possibly? It's a Linksys WRT54G that we've had for a long time. I'm using WPA Personal. Could my router be getting too old? Ive also noticed lately that my WiFi strength goes from two to three bars quite a bit on the iPhone. I always had full bars in the past. My channel is on 11 but I tried to change it the other day which caused my Xbox to not connect so that's another reason I'm leaning toward the router being too old. But the fact that my phone can lose signal while everything else in my house is unaffected makes me feel like it could be the phone.
Any help would be appreciated!

New AirPort Extreme w/ Time Machine disk crashes every few days

I bought an AirPort Extreme base station about a month ago. It's currently in bridge mode, connected to my U-Verse residential gateway, and has a 1 TB hard drive attached to it that I use for Time Machine backups. The drive is formatted HFS+ and both computers that connect to the AirPort are MacBooks. Every few days, usually overnight, Time Machine will stop working, saying that it cannot connect to the backup disk. If I try to access the shared disk in FInder, it times out. The Internet connection works fine and if I go into the AirPort Utility, it shows up. But if I click on "Manual Setup," it will time out. If I try to restart the router from the menu bar option, it will time out. The only way to fix it is to manually unplug the router and restart it that way. Is anyone else having a similar issue, or know how to prevent it?

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is "iffy" and +*not supported by Apple.+* See Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Yup, that's the sort of thing that happens sometimes in this scenario.
You might be able to improve that by, of all odd things, changing some names. See #P1 in the same place.
Another possibility is the external HD going to sleep and not waking up quickly enough. Check with the maker for firmware updates or ways to adjust it's sleep (or "spin down") performance.

That, I suspect, is a different problem (and mostly out of my area).
But this Apple article may be helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
Hopefully one of the networking gurus, such as Tesserax or Bob Timmons, will have more insight.

probably your zoom is on. try double tapping with three fingers on your screen, it should go back to normal and then goto
settings>general>accesibility>zoom and disable it

Re-license every few days

I recently purchased CC and I'm being constantly nagged about licensing my product. It's been licensed for the better part of a month, but every few days I get a pop-up that says that I have 0 days left and I need to buy or license. I click license and it checks with momma and says I'm OK. In a day or two we'll go thru this drill again. After a month of this it's getting really irritating ... REALLY irritating! Anybody know what's up?
Thanks

IChat AV 3.1.9 Keeps Wanting Setup at startup every few days--Why?

I have three Macs and all are setup using mobile accounts so that my data on each machine is pretty much identical; however, my office machine does not have an iSight for video chat, whereas, my home and laptop both do. My User/Library does not sync, but everything else does. Any ideas why iChat AV wants me to run setup every few days?

What does happen when you try to synch the Library ?
The Library has a Sub folder for Preferences.
It hold amoungst other things the iChat .plists Removing all of these will get iChat to Redo the Start Up Screens.

Airport keep disconnecting every few minutes

Hi,
I don't know why, but my airport keeps disconnecting every few minutes, although it reconnects after that.
I'm sure there's no problem with my router since other PCs in my home are fine.
It's totally fine when I use my windows in the macbook (via bootcamp).
Anyone has the same problem or anyone knows the solution?
Thanks.

I've had this issue for about a week and it has made my Macbook nearly impossible to use for anything other than local disk work.
Last night I tried running the standalone upgrade and it worked beautifully, however, upon booting up this AM I'm back to square one, constantly dropping the connection, ran the standalone update again and back in business with no drops.
While this is appears to be my temp workaround I don't want to be doing this on a daily basis.
HELLO APPLE what is the deal ?

Skype Disconnected Every Few Minutes

I upgrade my service from wireless to uverse and that includes phone, cable and internet. Since then I noticed that when I am on a call on Skype, I get disconnected every few minutes even though I am still connected to the internet. Didn't have this problem before.

I've been having the same problem, and so I tried the solution suggested above. However, I still get disconnected after being away from my computer for just a few minutes. Although we have wireless and I thought that perhaps this is the reason I get disconnected, my husband can be using the internet on his computer at the exact time that I get disconnected, so I know that I'm not losing the wireless signal. Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Katherine

IMac27 reboots every few days with message "Restarted after error"

My iMac27 reboots every few days with message "Restarted after error". How do I find out what it is upset about so I can repair?

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Also, OS X- How to log a kernel panic and post a recent panic log (not a crash log.)
