Internet is intermittent (mifi device 4g) stop and start refresh browser... macbook pro 2013 retina 13"

I am using a mifi device 4g for internet connection and it seems to always hang on the macbook
on other devices such as a mobile or tablet it seems fine....and the connection is consistent, however on the MB it is intermittent. sometimes it works for 5 minutes or so and then it will hang and i have constantly refresh or wait for it to be activated again...
there is definatley reception as it works on my other devices...
is there an update to the wifi driver or anything i can try to rectify this issue. i read that i should turn off bluetooth. however i dont think this is the best solution as i soon will be using a bluetooth speaker, although i did try this and it really didn't make much difference...
your suggestions are valued
thank you

    If you haven't found an answer yet. I know for a fact that this can be ordered directly from Apple at no extra cost
    You can either ask for this when buying a new MBP at a "physical" Apple store, or as in my case in the UK the online Apple store allows such keyboard configuration in addition to 3 other languages like Spanish, German and French

  • All iPhones constantly connecting and disconnecting from 2014 MacBook Pro with retina display

    So I have an iPhone 6, 4s, and 3gs, whenever I plug any of them into my MacBook pro they rapidly connect and disconnect. After about 20 seconds of doing this they trackpad and keyboard stop responding and won't be recognized until I restart the laptop.
    Just as more information I have used 5 or 6 different cables and it works fine with my LG G3 and every other usb device I use. I have iTunes updated to 12.0.1 and OSX updated to 10.10, and this has been happening for about 2 months or so. My iPhone 6 is running 8.1 but did this before, although with the first sync when I first got the phone it worked fine.
    Any information would be helpful
    Thank you

    I'm having the exact same issue with the new 2014 iMac 5K Retina i5. iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s both work flawlessly.

  • Why do videos continue to stop and start on my MacBook Air?

    When I try to watch videos, like on You Tube, the videos will only play small sections at a time.  It won't play continuosly.

    have the same issue

  • I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display).  I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,

  • Laggy scrolling/animations and tricky touchpad on MacBook Pro w/Retina Display

    As much as I loved the form factor and screen on the 15" 2.6ghz MBP w/Retina Display, the laggy scrolling, animations and intermimitently non-functional tap-to-click made me return it to Best Buy. A $3000 computer (after tax) shouldn't have problems that my Early 2011 MBP doesn't have. I thought the 10.8.2 update might fix this, but unfortunately it has not, even after a clean wipe.
    Side note - 10.8.2 also made my 2011 MBP's battery literally drop by 1% a minute when on battery power. It's also ridiculously hotter. Unusable as a portable device.
    Another side note - Best Buy really dillutes/degrades Apples great brand. The Apple Specialist in my local Best Buy in Dublin, CA is quite cranky and condescending. That will be the last time I buy an Apple product from Best Buy.

  • Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

    After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
    Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
    That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

    Did you try turning off power nap?

  • Have to Stop and start "Apple Mobile Device EVERY time

    I have an iPad and an iPod which I sync every morning through iTunes with Outlook. And each morning I must stop and start "Apple mobile device" in the Services to get iTunes to recognize my devices.
    I have recently uninstalled iTunes,QuickTime, Bonjour.................................and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes and the latest versions for my iPad and iPod.
    Nothing has changed. Any other advice.

    Apple Mobile Device not Starting
    ·   Windows Vista or Windows 7
    In the Start SearchServices.
    In the Programs
    Select Apple Mobile DeviceStop the service
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.

  • How to stop and start IGS(internet graphic server)

    Hi Techies
    How to stop and start IGS(internet graphic server) in Solaries
    IGS is 7.0 1patch
    Is this the command to stop and start IGS
    stopigs and startigs
    If this correct will there be any issues if i stop the IGS from the above command
    Thank You
    Haroon

    Hoi Haroon
    On base 6.40 there were stopigs/startigs scripts, yes. When we upgraded our systems to 7.0 I encountered the same problem, the igs could be stopped, but not started anymore (externally). Can you check, if the startigs/stopigs-scripts are 7.0 or 6.40.
    I then opened an oss and got as answer:
    "To start and to stop the igs there's only the offical way by stopping and starting the sap system".
    However I found a solution to start and stop:
    start:
    nohup /sapmnt/<SID>/exe/igswd_mt -mode=profile pf=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<Instaneprofile> &
    e.g.:
    nohup /sapmnt/P72/exe/igswd_mt -mode=profile pf=/usr/sap/P72/SYS/profile/P72_DVEBMGS01_migzmc10 &
    stop:
    --> stopigs, therefore the 6.40-stopigs script has to remain in the exe directory.
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash player stops and starts intermittently

    Does anyone know why videos stop and start intermittently. It becomes frustrating to watch and I eventually give up.

    op sys win 7 adobe flash player 10
    I have the same problem.  it seems related to bandwidth.
    i am limited in my data plan to 256 kb/sec
    i did not have this problem a year ago.  but had it when i used win xp as well.  Today noticed a site where i could choose low speed, medium speed or high speed bandwith. i chose the low speed 265 kb and the video played flawlessly without stopping and starting
    I claim no expertise and eagerly await some informed advice on whether it is possible change a setting within flash player to accomadate us low bandwith users.

  • Stops and starts in video streaming from iphone to tv using apple tv and airplay.Both devices have latest software and are capable.

    When try to stream content (specifically, videos from Acorn.com) to my TV through my apple TV from my iphone 5,The video  freezes, stops and starts continually, even though it is playing smoothly on the screen of my iphone.  both iphone, Apple TV  are capable models and have latest software updates.
    What's wrong here?

    Not necessarily, but right now you don't have a stable network and there are a lot of factors that can compromise that. I didn't say ethernet was the only option, again you can get a report of your network to see the status.  Would have to change things in order to strengthen the wifi signal (i.e. router location, channel,placement of ATV etc). I am running on wireless without issue, same as most users, and if you took it to a controlled environment (like Apple) you would see similar results.

  • Songs stop and start intermittently

    Every now and then my new 60gb iPod plays songs but they stop and start. The stop time is only a second or so and it plays from where it last stopped - the tracks aren't skipping and no play time is lost on the display. It only seems to happen when the iPod is first switched on or if I stop it to select a new artist/genre/album etc.
    Anyone experienced this before?
    It's a worry because my 3g has never been anything other than perfect!

    I suggest for you to add all the songs to your iTunes library. Once everything is in place, sync it to your iPod. You may also try wireless syncing as well.

  • Videos stop and start

    I've got a fast computer w/plenty of ram. I can watch videos from all other sources perfectly smooth, including Quicktime HD movie trailers.
    When I try to watch a video in iTunes it slows my computer down so much that besides the videos stopping and starting, my mouse won't even move smoothly.
    It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago.

    Phyllis-
    One reason is that your internet connection is not fast enough to keep up with the video.  You may find that when it gets to the end of the video and has fully downloaded, it will replay without stopping.

  • Stop and Start play from iPod - fine from HD library

    I use an iMac G5/2ghz/1.5G at my office. I installed upgrades this morning for both iTunes and Tiger, and now, when I connect my iPod to play through iTunes, I get the stop and start stutter play.
    I ripped files off the iPod and put them into the hard drive library, and those play fine, but anything that's playing through the iPod is stuttered.
    FYI - it's a third gen 20G iPod, connected via Firewire, with v2.3 software.
    This Mac is authorized to play everything on my iPod, and it was all working fine before the upgrade - so, any ideas?
    (Please help - I can't stand listening to local radio with commercials, and the bandwidth police will close in on my for listening to streaming...)
    Thanks.

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • How do I get u-tube videos to run smoothly.  They stop and start and jump.

    How do I get u-tube videos to run smoothly.  They stop and start and jump.

    Sounds like they are buffering because your internet speed is way to slow.
    To check your internet speed, go to: > Speakeasy Speed Test
    or > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Plus you can also check your internet speed using the Activity Monitor, which is in your Utilities Folder.
