I keep loosing my internet seervice comes of and on all the time sometimes for hours

loosing internet service off and on all day

Check to see if Comcast is reporting an outage for your area by logging in to https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/MyServices/ or by checking the voice response system at 1-800-Comcast.
If no outage is reported, see Connection Troubleshooting Tips. If you want to troubleshoot this yourself and still need help, please provide Information Requested for Connection-Related Posts.
If you are using Wifi it's best to switch to an Ethernet connection if possible while measuring speed and checking the reliability of your connection to Comcast.
If you'd rather have them do the troubleshooting call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast and have them send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.
If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit unless you have their Service Protection Plan (http://www.xfinity.com/spp/, about $5/mo). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast modem, eMTA, gateway device, or anything outside your home, you shouldn't be charged.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • My iPad 4 keeps freezing even after I restart it, and close all the apps. What can I do to keep this from happening?

    My iPad keeps crashing, and i don't know what to do. I've tried restarting it, closing all of the apps, and deleting apps, but this problem persists. What do I do?

    Hello ingco,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken and any other steps you have already taken):
    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 about restoring 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.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Ipod mini keeps turning on  and off all the time. Help

    I got this ipod mini in may, it worked great, but then all of a sudden it started to turn on and off once in a while mostly now it happens once a day..i checked if maybe the timer was set but it wasnt at all, can i fix it by myself or do i have to send it back to the factory for the warranty repair.

    the same thing is happening to my ipod mini, I received a brand new mini in July, and every time I use it it shuts on and off whenever I touch it, even with a fully charged battery, and it also shows the battery sign, do i need to get it serviced?

  • 10.0.01 ver. doesn't sign-in automatically i look up password manager, it seems it saves usernames and passwords, when i visit websites i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time.

    10.0.01 version doesn't sign-in automatically... i look up password manager, it seems to it saves usernames and passwords, when i try to visit that website i am not automatically signed in and when i reopen mozilla it keeps on asking main password to sign-in all the time... it happened after mozilla updated itself... please help about it.. (i dont have problems like this in Opera browser)
    mozilla fills user name when i click but after that it asks for main password (whats the purpose of remembering passwords if it will ask for main password)
    by the way main password for password manager is of course useful but it şs useful whenever i want to use it not all the time i open mozilla .
    and not all the time i open a website or forum which i often use...
    there were no problems before it updated itself...
    please tell me the solution

    my problem is not related with using main password or not...
    in former versions of firefox i was automatically signed in to websites without any click... it wasnt asking me to sign-in (because my usernames and passwords were remembered-and saved in password manager)
    in this version they are remembered again but i have to write first 2-3 letters of my username and it remembers my username then it remembers password...
    for example when i clicked twitter.com my account and my homepage as automatically opened, but in this version when i click twitter.com it opens the sign-in page and i write first 2 letters of my user name it remembers name and password and then i signin
    (difference i was at where i want to sign in with one click--- but in new version 1click for webpage-1 click for clicking to username are-1-2 letter writing to find my user name-1 click to remember password-1 click to sign in) an addition: also if i am using main password i am entering main password and click to sign-in
    This can be little problem to u, but it is really annoying problem, 9-10 clicks more for each webpage which i wanted mozilla to remember my usernames and passwords... it also asks main password if i am using...
    if i want to visit 5-6 different websites it means 70-80 clicks more and 50-60 letters typing according to your main password .. (in opera and mozillas former versions it is just 5-6 clicks)
    so main problem is the cookies were remembered in all the sessions but after it updated to v.10.0.1 expiry date of cookies of same websites that i visit are just for one session... it is not related with the websites and their servers that i visit because if so how can Opera remembers all the time...

  • Menus popping and keeping me from clicking/Safari wants login all the time

    I bought this iMac in Jan. I suffered through viruses and hacking with four XP's. I bought a Mac so as to never be in that **** again. Well I've been reading sysprofile logs and watching the records of apps I've never used. Today I saw fax verifications when I've never sent nor received one. My folders and files change all the time. For example, right now my desktop is covered in all the logs I saved and filed in my documents files. When I open them, presto magic, the info I saved has changed to something else. Sometimes as many as 30 files pop open one by one on the desktop while iTunes plays the song Crazy. I am not making this up. Since I am new to iMac I didn't even recognize that someone had used Grab to put a picture of "share folders" with a "start" button in the middle of my desktop and it cannot be deleted. I know you think it's because I'm a novice, but, believe me, I got enough ed with those XP's to work for Microsoft. I called Apple and told them that I either need a white hat hacker or a priest to fix this baby. I mean I don't even know how to begin to tell someone over the phone all the things this crazy machine does. But for now, since I am trying to continue my online biz, I only ask that someone please, for the love of God, tell me 1) how to stop the pop-up menus that keep me from clicking anywhere--the menus don't even make sense or even remotely apply to what I'm doing. It's a pointer fight at every click. I have gone over sys prefs a hundred times. And, 2) how to keep Safari from popping a menu down every few minutes asking for a new kind of named login no matter how I change the keychain. Yes, everything is locked up tight. No one shares or has access to my computer, and yet Big Bang is saying "Goodnight" to me and I've never played it or even knew I had it. I read a lot of pages in this forum and read a lot of familiar sounding stuff. I feel so overwhelmed, disappointed and depressed. Thank you.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   I'm sorry this is long. I feel desperate because you should see the notebooks I already have.

  • HT201250 must I keep the computer on all the time for time machine to do back ups

    Must I keep my computer on at all times to get the time machine to do  updates ? If not how do I go about updateing time machine on a regular basis

    It depends on how much backing up you want. Time Machine will do backups if you have it turned on (in Time Machine Preferences), and if you have your computer connected to a backup drive (either wired or wirelessly, like a Time Capsule), that is specified in TM Preferences, and is also turned on. So, for example, I keep my two macs turned on all the time, and I keep Time Machine turned off. When I am not using my macs they sleep. I have external USB drives for backup via Time Machine, but I don't keep them on and connected all the time. When I think of it, which is about once a week, I'll hook them up, power them on, and do a manual backup: I turn Time Machine on and tell it to backup. When I have more critical documents, I keep them backed up on Dropbox, or iCloud, so I know that every time I finish using them and close them they are backed up. If you want to have more complete backups, then you would keep your computer always connected to your backup drives, and the drives would always be powered on and time machine would always be turned on. You could either have all of these turned on all the time, or just when you are using them and power them all down when you are not using them, or have them powered on all the time, but set the computer to sleep when you are not using it. It just depends on what you are comfortable with in terms of backups.

  • 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.

  • Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices

    Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

    Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
    I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
    I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
    Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19952545#19952545
    Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

  • How to keep internet PPPoe On all the time?

    Ok so here is the low down, right now every time i turn on my IMac and want to get the internet. I have to do it manually. as in go to system preference and select network and turn on PPPoe directly from the menu every time i turn on the computer.
    Is there anyway to keep the internet on all the time and have it connect automatically without going into menu settings every time.
    Thanks

    Here, you can study this - its pretty simple code that I wrote for one of my own students to develop;-import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Baller extends JFrame implements Runnable{
       int top, bottom=250, left, right=250, x=100, y=100;
       boolean down=true, forwd=true;
       public Baller(){
          JPanel pan = new JPanel(){
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.fillOval(x,y,30,30);
          pan.setOpaque(false);
          getContentPane().add(pan);
          setSize(290, 310);
          setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          new Thread(this).start();
       public void run() {
          while (true) {
          if(down) y++;
          else y--;
          if(forwd) x++;
          else x--;
          repaint();
             if(x > bottom) down =false;
             if(x < top)    down =true;

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • Loosing battery from internet traffic all the time

    4 days ago i have bought an iphone 5
    previous one was an iphone 4
    my problem is the iphone 5 all the time spending my internet traffic, but i turned off all the push notification and etc apps whiches use the inernet....
    because of that my iphone loses battery for 2-3 hours
    HELP ME PLEASE !

    I have another computer connected
    to this network in another part of the house
    If that is a Windows XP computer make sure it is not trying to do an 802.1x authentication since that will cause those interruptions:
    http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1010.html
    Ensure that the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box is not checked.
    Also, upgrading to Service Pack 2 should take care of that problem.
    Otherwise, Airports are a reliable product so perhaps you are in an area of interference? Pick a different channel - like 9?

  • Firefox keeps "not responding" all the time ... is very anoring

    it happens mostly while using facebook's posting page (FB and the Zynga games on FB are the only thing I'm on most of the time I'm on line) ... I keep running into "FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING" all the time ... I'll go to click on a posting and nothing happens ... when i click again the page goes cloudy and that DARN blue wheel shows up (I hate the wheel) & at top of computer is says "Firefox not responding" ... my scrolling wheel will not work right ... jumps up & down the page or won't move at all ... always have to be refreshing the page or exit firefox & reopen ... looses connection a lot or is out of sync & has to be refreshed ... this started to happen several weeks back after I first downloaded Firefox 4 ... in fact I've had to reload it several times ... this is all very frustrating when trying to play my games ... I've defragmented, run both my AGV & windows washer programs several times but nothing seems to help ... had no problems with earlier firefox so tried to reload it but now can't get earlier version to work either

  • Little circle turns/ page doesn't load/ problem triangle comes up almost all the time

    The little connecting circle comes on and turns no matter what -- whether it's from a bookmark, an email, a typed in address. It turns and turns, then either times out or says problem loading page ALMOST all the time (I can't figure our why or why not). I just downloaded the latest versions of both Firefox & Thunderbird. I check my AVG and Firefox has a clear pass.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
