Gmail chat keeps dropping

I've been using messages beta for a while now, and I noticed that my gmail connection keeps dropping on it's own. If i change my status to offline, and change it back to available, it stays offline. Only to bring it back at that point is to do disable it from the accounts menu and re-enable it.
Anyone else come across this issue? I searched online and haven't been able to find the same issue.

Hi,
You could open Console (Applications/Utilities) and check the All Messages item.
You would be looking for iChat, IMAgent and Messages Beta into (Messages beta needs IMAgent to run and calls itself iChat version 6.1 in some places).
I am not sure how many WiFi utilities there are out there for Lion.
Once you found one it is a question of having it tell you when the Connection is dropped.
Some Buddy lists will show faster than others that the Internet as such as been lost (however briefly).
Changing from WiFi to Ethernet if you are in a position to do so might also eliminate the Wifi as cause.
Changing the channel the router uses if WiFi to avoid interference from other nearby devices may help.

Why does Facetime keep dropping my video chats?

My FaceTime calls keep dropping calls/video calls every 2 minutes. I know its not the internet because I can Skype for hours with no problem. I cant figure it out! Why would this happen?

are you using I movie? There is an output in i movie for you tube that i suppose turns it into whatever format they want. And how long is it? T think there is a 10 or 15 min limit on you tube for uploads. I am thinking that the format from your camera is not what you tune wants to see. If you can get it into i movie, and send it from there, it converts it into what they want. I think. (works for me)

Address Book/ Gmail chat/ Jabber

I set up Google Talk following the online instructions.
It automatically downloaded the two contacts from that address book, but then I started trying to add additional contacts to the google chat.
When I clicked "add" and typed in the name my address book came up and then I added the google email address as the Jabber account and made the gmail account the only account, but it deleted all of the other email addresses that I had for those people in Address Book and it doesn't have an undo feature to get back those addresses. Help! I need them and I don't know how to get them back!
Also, I would like to add more contacts to the Jabber/ Gmail chat and I don't kow how using iChat.
THis is confusing.

Looking for a solution to this too!
I keep my iPhone contacts & Apple Address Book in sync through iTunes & recently thought of keeping my Gmail contacts in sync with the Apple Address Book as well. Researching online showed this is pretty much a dead end in terms of a simple sync for the user but since I use my iPhone & Apple Address Book to mainly control & edit my contacts, every now & then I just create a backup of 'vcards' with the date of that day & import them as a new group to Gmail. This new group will say something to the extent of 'Apple Address Book Jul-28-2010'.
I don't make changes to my Gmail contacts but constantly delete the old Apple Address Book 'group' & keep only the latest one. That way all changes are brought upon my Gmail contacts as well. Even though there might be duplicates, it's easy to sort out cause you know which ones came from your Apple Address Book.
Definitely not the most ideal solution but works for now...

WiFi on iPhone 5S 7.0.6 keeps dropping WiFi then not reconnecting

This is my third iPhone, had a 3GS, 4S and now this 5S. While I love my iPhone it is always dropping my WiFi connection at home. I have a Retina Macbook Pro which has zero problems, there's also two 4S's, a 5C and three iPads all connecting no problem. Well the iPad Mini has now started having problems recently.
I find my connection has dropped and now is on very slow cellular. I go to WiFi in settings and click on my home network (extremely fast fibre). When I click on it the iPhone asks for my WiFi password. So I enter my password for the hundredth time and it just doesn't connect.
I have to spend ages turning my iPhone and router off and on again. This has been going on since I got the phone in December.
I am a seriously unhappy customer here Apple, I've spent thousands of pounds on your products and this is unacceptable, feels like a downgrade compared to my 4S which never set a foot wrong. I imagine it's related to iOS 7 than the hardware.
I have seen others have had this issue and want an answer, I'm really hope iOS 7.1 fixes this, there's so many little bugs and inconsistancies with this OS, feels unpolished.
WPA2 secured, 2.4GHz in a quiet rural area with next to no interfearance.

A disgruntled customer

Same problem with iPad3 wifi+cellular. Since iOs 7.0.6 the wifi on the device became unusable. Immediately after implementing this crap update, wifi connection keeps dropping in every 2 minutes. I tried to reset the device twice, even restore network settings, but doesn't help. All other devices have the same stable connection at home, than before. The problem is the IOS 7.0.6 update! This is ridiculous! Quality is significantly dropped since ios 5.1.1. The head of this developer department must be fired out! Now I cannot use my wifi at all!

Connection keeps dropping and speed is getting slo...

Hi,
I have had infinity over a week now and after having a speed of 50M and a ping of 17 each day it has dropped and is now iro 34M and ping of 37. What is of more concern is my connection is keeps dropping. Has happened every day - DSL light going off on Infinity box and homehub. I did a speed check on BT wholesale and it seems my ip profile has been dropped down to 36M.
I am connecting wireless and have tried a different channels, tried using DNS even tried a new HH3 as I had a spare. But as yet no improvement. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could have a fault, to check do the following.
1. Visit this link https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/secure/faults/tracking.do;jsessionid=2W59QB2TvDGLZST41KJS2T...
2. Make an account with your BT Account number, this is different to your forum account.
3. Once the account is created re-visit the link from instruction #1 and login
4. Now you want to click on "Check my line now"
5. You should see your telephone number in a box, make sure that box is ticked if not enter your number.
6. Click on "Check my line" once step 5 has been completed
7. Make sure the details are correct, select the most relavant problem to you. I find the most common is the top selection "I've removed all equipment...."
8. Finally, Click "Check my line" **MAKE SURE NO ONE IS USING THE PHONE** Once completed, post the results contact a mod if a fault is found.

I have an iphone 4s, I installed Vtok but the video chatting part of the app is not working when I try to chat with my husband through gmail on his PC. Can I fix this or is there another app that will let me chat with my gmail chat contacts?

Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Internet connection keeps dropping at night

I'm having a bit of a weird problem with my internet connection. I connect via an ethernet cable and the connection keeps dropping. It generally starts after 7pm and seems to be every 40 minutes. I have changed the microfilters and ethernet cable but I'm still getting this problem. The really weird thing is that all four lights on the hub are blue but the computer cannot connect to the router. Sometimes the connection will just drop other times it will say limited connection. I've finally had to resort to windows diagnostics and sometimes even that doesn't work. I swapped my black hub with the old white one and I didn't have this problem of the connection dropping but my connection speed dropped to 1.5 - 2mb.
I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with my ethernet card but now I think it must be something in the black hub because the white one worked. Am I correct in thinking I need a new router?

ASA 5505 Site to Site VPN keep dropping

Hi all,
I have an issue with my site to site VPN.
I have 4 sites connected to my main HQ site via Cisco ASAs 5505 firewalls. The problem is that once and then the sites disconnected from my main site. This disconnection is not happening at the same time for the the 4 sites. For example, it might be different site each time disconnected.
Could you please advice any suggestions. Let me know if you want to post the firewall's configurations.
Thank you for your time

Iphoto keeps dropping out. Sometimes other programs do too such as Software Update. They other programs seem to drop randomly but iPhoto drops out constantly. Is there a solution?

iPhoto constantly keeps dropping out. Other programs do at times but iPhoto drops out constantly. Does anyone know what causes this?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Phone line and BB connection keeps dropping - BT H...

My broadband and phone connection keeps dropping. Its been fine for years and now since all this bad weather we have been having the connection lasts temporarily for a few minutes sometimes more and then all the blue lights start flashing orange, sometimes for a while, and then back to blue. Could it be that there is a wider problem in the area I am living in my area. I have tried to report this to BT via the Indian call centre but the best they can offer me is an engineer visit on 20 January (!!) and I may have to pay £130 if the fault is found on my property so I would like to know first if there is a wider probelm affecting others in my area. Many thanks.
Solved!

3G connection keeps dropping out after 4.2.1 update

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could help me.
I have the iPhone 4, and it was working perfectly... until I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.
Ever since then, my 3G connection keeps dropping out, and I'm just left with vodafone UK (with usually 3-4 bar signal) but no 'o', 'E' or '3G' symbol.
After about 20 minutes of no cellular data, I'd get the 'o' symbol, then 10 seconds later it would change to '3G'. But then after 5 seconds it would lose it. The cycle would continue in this way.
Strangely, when at home, the 3G would stay connected. But when I go anywhere, I lose 3G.
When I turn 3G off, I get constant 'o' connection where ever I go. It doesn't drop out.
I've tried resetting the phone, and resetting network settings.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with my new iPhone 4 (w/ 4.2.1)... It continually cycles through the following sequence:
AT&T / 3G
AT&T / No Data
Searching…
Searching… 3G
AT&T / 3G
(loops…)
Here is a video of the cycling. Note the iPhone 4 is just sitting on a coffee table in my house.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7186070/ip4fw421searching.mov
Also worth noting, I just got the iPhone 4 and I updated it to 4.2.1 right away. Previously, I had a 3GS which did not exhibit any of this behavior in the same location in my house. Also, my girlfriend still has a 3GS and has FW 4.2.1 without these issues. I have a video of her phone in the exact same location taken just after the clip above and her phone maintains 3-bars / AT&T / 3G the entire time.
I picked up the iPhone 4 while out of state over the holiday weekend and did not observe any of these connectivity issues, in fact the 3G throughput of the iPhone 4 was significantly better (consistently got >4 Mbps down / >800 Kbps up) than what my family members were seeing with their 3GS models.
I believe it is a baseband issue introduced with the 4.2.1 update for iPhone 4, but I also strongly believe there is some tower component to this problem (ie, software revision at the tower or configuration).
Like others here, I also performed a restore to 4.2.1 through iTunes and setup my phone as "New" and I continue to see the behavior. The phone is unusable in my house unless I manually disable 3G. As a final data point, when I'm able to maintain a 3G connection long enough in my house I get the following throughput from Speedtest.net: 1863 Kbps down / 543 Kbps up.

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available. Apps trouble too. Help?

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow. There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download. Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right. When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? I only bought the IPAD 2 in June!

Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately. Thank you for any help you can give.
