If I leave the laptop alone for 15 minutes, when I come back I have lost my internet connection

I have been using firefox for about two months now without any problems. With in the past two weeks, if I leave the laptop to do something else, when I return to the laptop and go to check my E-Mail etc. I lost my internet connection. I check and says I have an excellent wireless connection but I am forced to re-boot and then I'm back on. "WHY"

What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

  • When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and try to resume working, my computer seems to freeze up and the little pinwheel starts spinning and I literally have to unplug my computer to get it out of this frozen state.

    When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning.  I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state.  This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months.  I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong.  They told me to add more memory, which I did.  However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes?  My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.

  • In the last month my iPad has started refreshing web pages on it's own. let's say I'm filling out a form or typing something on Facebook and have to put iPad down for a minute when I come back to page, it refreshes and I lose everything.

    when I first got it, it did not do this. It's very annoying. I've searched and I can find nothing and of course my warranty is up so apple won't help. any ideas on why it's doing this.  sometimes if I clear cache and cookies and then turn off and back on, it will stop doing it for a couple hours

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Hi,
    This is mostly about what is called Away as a Status and setting an Away Status Message when going Idle.
    Idle happens when there has been no Keyboard or Mouse  input for 10 mins.
    (read as for any Input device like Trackpad, Graphics pad, Trackball etc)
    The Bottom section of the General Section of the iChat Preferences is abouut what happens when you go Idle.  (The Orange Arrow and Text in the pic Below)
    (Your Status indicator will go Amber)
    Some of this does depend if you have Set "Block others for Seeing me as Idle " in the Accounts section > Account Info Tab on AIM Logins.
    It is also linked to Fast User Switching (your Mac User Account could go Idle whilst you are Logged in as another Mac User Account).
    The Blue Arrow and Text points out you can make sure iChat stays at the Last Status (And Message) you used on Quit (The default is for this to be Ticked and iChat to  change to Available).
    The Red Arrow and Text is about whether you appear as Fully Off line on Quit and Sleep.
    On Quit iChat does not fully log you out of the AIM Servers.
    You will appear as Off Line to your Buddies but the AIM servers will keep Off Line Messages for you (well, if you have never replied "NO" to the first Off Line IM you ever got)
    However it does seem that in certain Combos of these settings that you can "Seen" by your Buddies as Away rather than Off line.
    Picture of General Section of Preferences
    If you add in to this mix a shorter time than the Idle time to make the  computer go to Sleep then you can also create other "states"  as well.
    So...
    In it's default settings:-
    1) iChat will always set you to Available on Launch.
    2) At 10 mins of no input you will go Idle (Amber)
    3) For Fast User Switching you can set iChat to go Off Line or to Go "Away" (A Status Message setting).
    (It has been so long I forget what the Default was)
    4) iChat is set by default to show you going Idle (See the Accounts section of the Preferences)
    5) If you specifically set an Away Status (or Message) then iChat will do whatever is set in the bottom part of the General Section.
    6) Sleep will put you Off Line and the "When I Quit iChat, Set My Status to Off Line" option will kick in
    The Default is for this to be Unticked.
    There is no setting to create going to Away if left alone.
    I am not entirely sure on this one though as I think it can be created via "Second Pass" things.
    Note:-
    Example of Second Pass.
    Go to the View Menu and the Sort Buddies option.
    If you sort by First Name then the Buddy list is likely to Reorganise itself based on the Address Book Entries.
    If you now Sort by Availability it will organise those First Names by Availability rather than reverting to what was set before.
    (Screen Names Only Buddies will appear alphabetically in any list)
    Now repeat by Sort by Last Name then Availability and you will see that the list is not in the same order as First Names and Availability.
    At this point I am not sure exactly what you meant.
    The Title bit implies that Sleep was/is getting in the way.
    The actual question details leave me wondering what you think you have set iChat to do ?

    You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

    Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

    Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
    What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • DPC spike at Windows automatic maintenance startup. Can not leave the computer alone processing real-time streams.

    This is what happens when I leave the computer idle for a while and the Windows automatic maintenance starts:
    Driver file      Description               ISR count  DPC count  Highest execution (ms)  Total execution (ms)

    Hi Fjtorsol,
    We hope your issue has been resolved, if you've found solution by yourself. you could share with us and we will mark it as answer.
    This high Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) latencies are usually caused by certain drivers, if it is caused by automatic maintenance, please re-check your task schedule which is marked as “when computer is idle”. As what has been suggested by MVP ZigZag, please
    use the Microsoft Windows Performance Analyzer from the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) to identify the cause of any DPC latency spikes.
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=39982
    DPC CPU Usage Summary Table will open containing a list of drivers/program. This list is already correctly sorted (by the Actual Duration column). The process on the very top of the list is therefore likely to be the cause of your problem.

  • My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

    My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

    I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

    I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%)   If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly  – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display   Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see?   There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light.  MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

    I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
    If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
    See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.
