Everytime i come back to mac connection has gone down!

Every time I come back to my imac, the airport connection has gone down.
I go up through the airport menu in the menu bar and simply reconnect it to my network which is always there in the menu.
It's not a massive problem I know, but fairly irritating all the same. What is causing it to reconnect all the time? It never disconnects when I'm using it, only when I'm not using it.
I've been using airport for over a year and I've never had this problem.
My ISP (ntl in the UK) has recently been taken over by Virgin and the problems seem to have started around the same time. Could this just be a coincidence, is it a problem their end, or is it some setting on my mac that's been changed by mistake by my small kids?!?
I've got 'interference robustness' checked and I'm pretty sure it's not an interference issue as nothing has changed in the room since this problem began.
Thanks in advance....

Maybe you can set Mail to check every five minutes and that may keep your internet active enough.

How come since FF11 memory consumption has gone down from 1.2 to 0.5 GB ;-)

How come since FF11 memory consumption has gone down from 1.2 to 0.5 GB ;-)
What have you done .... specifically ?
Also, I have almost 50 popular addons :-)
Note: I`ve checked the FF11 release notes and a search for memory gives mainly memory accounting changes and not specifically memory reductions.
Keep up the good work !

How come the FTTC speed estimation has gone down.

I'm confused as to how the FTTC speed estimation for my phone number has gone down, it's now showing as 33.8 when it was 39.9. Currently I'm sync at 68 and 20 up. The only thing that I can think that possibly has caused the estimation to go down is the fact that I had line issues for a year or so and always got sub 25meg speeds?

Most of the checkers results are now lower it looks like they have updated the checker data from more up to date line data now that there are more fibre users

Time Capsul "Guest Network" has gone down and cannot resuscitate . Main network and back up working fine.

Time Capsul "Guest Network" has gone down and cannot resuscitat. Main Network and back up working fine. Suggestions?

Cisco DPQ 2925 is according to Cisco.....a modem/router or gateway type of device that combines the functions of a modem and router in one package. See info below:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/video/at_home/Cable_Modems/3900_Series/ OL-30824-01.pdf
Unfortunately, the guest network feature will not work correctly when the AirPort is connected to the type of "modem" that you have. If that feature is important to you, please check with your Internet service provider and ask them if they can provide a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway.
Ironically, we have seen a few posts from users who claim to be able to get the guest network to work with the type of "modem" that you have, but to do so will result in what is known as a Double NAT error on the network......basically two devices both trying to act as the router for the network.
That can result in IP address conflicts and other issues created by the Double NAT such as slow browsing, no browsing, poor communications between devices on the network\, and other unpredictable things.
Sometimes, you can get away with a Double NAT issue on a simple home network, but I would not recommend this type of setup.

Ical will not store info, I go to another app, and come back and the info is gone

Ical takes in an event, but after you leave Ical and come back, all the info is gone. Now I notice that there is no info at all in Ical, and it won't load from my info from my Ipad as well.

The Macbook Air is a low end Macintosh for graphics apps and you are asking it to perform a heavy pro workflow using a pro application. The integrated GPU of MBAs is a serious limiter to heavy graphics. Personally I would expect flaky performance with certain operations. In general I recommend that Aperture users choose boxes with independent GPUs and capable of taking 16 GB RAM if necessary.
It will be important to carefully optimize workflow. How much RAM is in the MBA? The most Apple specs is 8 GB but you can check OWC to see if you can go to 16 GB. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM before I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they can be misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs before and after a work session.

The interactive responsiveness of my Mac Mail has gone to **** since I installed Lion last week. I can type a whole line ahead before it echos the characters. What's with that?

Is spotlight finished re-indexing?
If it is not a drive problem, maybe it is a runaway application. This article shows how to use Activity Monitor to check for that:

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

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.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

After upgrading my software to 6.1.3 I feel my battery life has gone down, anyone else have this?

My battery life has considerably gone down after I updated. I will task kill all apps turn brightness down, location services off and wifi off and 6 hours later of not using my iPad it will be down 25% (to 75%). Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? Or is this possibly related to something besides the update.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

My I Mac has a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave it with safari or mail open when I come back to it it has closed these down and I have to re open

My I Mac has developed a pink cloud in part of the grey top bar and also if I leave for awhile with Safari or anything else left on when I return it has closed these down and I have to re open them, has anybody got any ideas how to cure these problems if possible.

For FaceTime try the troubleshooting advice given here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
Also try resetting your iPad:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

What to do when my phone completely dies and wont hold any charge or come back on when connected via usb or dock?????

i need help asap
please??

Hello bigdaddydeangelo,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I recommend following steps 3-6 below:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
