Intermittent Charging/Syncing- Won't stay "connected" -HELP!!!!

Hello- Iphone with 3.01, OS 10.5, iTunes 9.
Updated to iTunes 9 this morning, plugged in the iPhone and ever since, when I plug the phone in, it acts as if I'm plugging/unplugging the phone (won't charge or sync). I keep hearing the plug in noise charging starts, then stops.
I've restarted and reset the iPhone. Can't do a restore because iTunes thinks its coming unplugged.
Thoughts! Help!

Could be a bad USB cable. That happened with mine. It would randomly charge and then stop and start. I tried to sync and it would start and stop. When I moved the cable as it goes into the bottom of the phone it would do that again. We have two iPhone and two iPods so I tried another cable and it worked fine. Tried the old cable on an iPod and had the same issue.

  • I have Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 8 and it won't stay connected to the server and it says I need flash plug in, please help

    I have a Gateway computer with Windows 8 installed.  I have installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my website and it won't stay connected to the server.  It also won't play flash and says I need a flash plug in.  Please help

    #1  Try toggling Passive FTP on/off in your remote server's site definition.
    #2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology.  It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc...  I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days.  Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

  • Photosmart eStn C510a Zeen won't stay connected to network long enough to update software

    My network connection to my printer works fine; but the zeen connection is intermittent.  And will not stay connected long enough to download the software update that it shows is available.  Sure wish I could use the USB port on the zeen to accomplish this software update.  Even though I do not know if it will fix my intermittent connection problem.  I have tried many resets and re-adding my network and re-syncing .....etc.   

    Hi HankF,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C510a and the Zeen doesn't seem to be staying connected to your network very steadily. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will do my best to help you.
    Is the printer's connection also intermittent? When the Zeen won't connect, are you still able to print something from the computer?
    How close is the Zeen to the router? Has it always been intermittent, or is this a newer development?
    Once I have this information I should be able to offer some suggestions

  • HT1572 the charging light won't stay on - I have to close and re-open the I Tunes app

    I have a new HP laptop. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my charging light won't stay on. I have to keep closing and re-opening the I Tunes program. Is the battery shot or what?
    Thanks.

    Depending on how often you use your shuffle (how many charging cycles it's been through), a 2nd gen shuffle from 2008 could have a worn out battery.
    Battery charging is not dependent on iTunes running.  If you connect it to the laptop without iTunes running (or even installed), it should charge.  If you connected the USB cable to one of those USB power adapters, it should charge.  It just needs a USB 2.0 port with power.
    When you connect it and run iTunes, does the shuffle still appear in the iTunes sidebar?  Can you still sync it from empty to full?

  • Apple Time Capsule Won't Stay Connected

    After Verizon upgraded my router to the 9100EM my Apple Time Capsule Connects to the router but won't stay connected all the time. I have to go into router management console a couple of times a day and reboot it the restore connection. Time Capsule is connected to router by lan cable into port 1 of router. Time capsule set in bridge mode I believe. Just from time to time when I run Air Port Utility Time Capsule has green light but internet goes orange once i reboot I'm good for several hours then loses connection and have to reboot again. Tried looking for other settings to adjust but haven't found anything to help. If any body has any suggestions please help, it just gets old having to reset all the time

    If you are using a Mac, which OS is installed?  
    Use Software Update to make sure you have all the latest updates.
    Repair permissions.
    Change your router (Airport) channel.  Most times this all you have to do!

  • My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected

    My iMac won't stay connected to the internet, even though all other computers in my house stay connected, and its connection is set up the same way my fiance's macbook is (his macbook is about three years older than my iMac). Every time my computer goes into sleep mode and I come back (even if it's mere seconds after giving the black screen) I have no internet connection. I discovered a workaround for it some time ago, but now that is working less and less, and now my computer randomly disconnects WHILE I'm actively using the internet. Just a few minutes ago, the connection refused to come back until I restarted my computer, even though once again all other computers in the house were connected. The workaround I discovered before and which doesn't work as reliably now, is to click opne Airport at the top right of the screen, click "Open Network Preferences," then click "Assist me," then click "Diagnostics," and wait for everything to turn green again, signalling a connection.

    Let's check the quality of your connection since signal strength alone does not insure a good connection. The "bars" that you see at the top of the iMac screen are there pretty much for show.
    Hold down the option key on the iMac while you click on the Apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen and select System Profiler
    Look down the list of items at the left of the window until you find the setting for Network, then click on AirPort.
    In the window to the right, look for any listings of your wireless network name. You may possibly see two listings for the wireless network name.
    We need for you to list the information that you see for Signal / Noise.  These will be negative numbers. Post back with your findings and we will continue.
    In the meantime, please move any cordless phones that you have or any other electronic devices that are near the iMac as far away as possible from the iMac.
    If the iMac is located in a corner or an enclosed area, give it as much room as possible since the wireless antenna is on the back of the iMac and it needs to be able to "see" the room.
    Anything that you can do to minimize the number of obstructions like walls or furniture etc between the iMac and the wireless router will help the cause as well.

  • IPhone 3gs WI-Fi won't stay connected after 6.1 update

    I have a 3gs and the wi-fi connections have been working fine on iOS 5.1 etc. until I just updated to 6.1.  Now it sees the networks that I normally connect to, but it won't connect unless I physically move closer to the source of the wi-fi signal in my office, ie. the Airport Extreme Router with the software update that just came out last week. I had this problem before and after I updated the router software.  No problem previously.  Its like the phone can't hold onto the wireless connection and either can't connect or won't stay connected.  I've hard re-booted, and reset network settings, etc.  No luck.  What's the problem and the solution?  Thanks.

  • My Macbook Pro suddenly won't stay connected to the internet.

    My Macbook Pro recently has had problems staying connected to the Internet. Our other Macbook Pro is having the same problems. I have already spoken with with our ISP, AT&T. After trying several things, they said that it may have to do with Safari and that they couldn't suggest any settings changes to our browser because it might disqualify any warranties that we have on our Notebook if another company makes changes to it. I've spent hours and hours trying to resolve this and it's driving me nuts. Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either. Not long ago AT&T sent us a new modem/router (all-in-one), that is why I called AT&T to see if it was the new modem. But come to think of it, I had called AT&T because of this connectivity issue and now I'm thinking that it wasn't them at all. Maybe it has to do with Apple. I'm a Apple lover, so please help!!!

    Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either.
    Does that mean it won't stay connected to the network, or it's not reachable from your Mac? There's a difference.

  • My Airport won't stay connected to the internet

    I was previously using ethernet to connect.  I have had the airport for a few months and can connect to the internet okay from my laptop.  I now wish to use my airport to connect.  I set it up without a problem and it does connect.  Problem is that I lose the connection after a minute or so.  I run through diagnostics which tells me my connection is okay.  It is at that point but I again lose connection after a minute or so.  Back to diagnostics and the circle of events continues.  I have re-started the computer to no avail.  Help anyone?

    I should say that my computer won't stay connected to the internet.  I have reset the airport.  The airport extreme works and connects fine with my laptop, ipad and iphone.

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.
    Barry
    P.S.  I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit.

  • Apple tv won't stay connected to wifi

    my apple tv won't stay connected to wifi.  what's the issue?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And in this case none were give.  What is happening?  Error message?  Other WiFi devices have issues?  It is actually losing the connection or is your streaming content just freezing?
    Trying to do streaming video over WiFi is not a great idea.  Even if you are using the really high end WiFi hardware it will never be completely solid.  You really want to use a wired connection for that.
