Internet stops working after 10 mins and apps do not start correctly

Hi!
I can use my Macbook pro for ten minutes after I turned it on. Then the followings happens:
Safari crashes (also tried Chrome and Firefox) -> The loading bar does not complete and I cannot access any homepage.
Some apps like iTunes, Pages,... do not start completely. -> I click on the symbol, the white point beneath it appears but nothing more happens.
I hope that somebody can help me with it.

How are you accessing the internet? If by Airport, then what happens if you try ethernet?
It might be worth running the extended version of the Apple hardware test right after you lose connection to the internet. I'm wondering if you might have a problem of some sort with the airport card which is triggered by heat or something like that? If so, you might get an error code that would point to the problem.
Also try running SMART Utility to check out the physical health of your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. If your hard drive is going south, that could be a contributing factor to your other problems.
You have the early 2010 MBP? If so, you are still under the 1 year warranty, and if there is a hardware problem, it should be covered. Be sure to report your problem to Apple and get a case number before your warranty runs out so that if you do have hardware issues, they can be fixed under warranty. If you do not already have 3 year Applecare, consider getting it while you still can.
Good luck!

My "9-o-l-." keys stop working after startup, and spreading! ahh help?

My "9-O-L-." keys stop working after startup and my arrow keys too.
Sometimes when I start up the keys will work for a bit then one by one stop functioning and then randomly work every so often, then it seems to "spread" to the right shift key, and sometimes the "8-I-K-," keys.
Around the same time when this all began my Battery completely stopped working too, does this have anything to do with it? I've reset my PRAM and no luck.
I'm planning on replacing the keyboard, will that fix the problem? or is it something deeper?
Thanks in advance!
-Andrew

I assume you've rebooted? Can you control the computer well enough to make a new account and log into it? Doubt this will fix it but maybe. The keyboard may need replacing but it might also be that the cable has worked loose so that some of the wires have disconnected but not all. Sounds like a trip or call to Apple is in order.

Internet stops working after being connected for 5 minutes to wifi

My macbook pro running on os x mavericks is giving me an issue. After 5 minutes of connection with the wifi network, the internet stops working even though its connected the network. Reconnecting fixes it for yet another 5 minutes.

Might be corrupted network preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

Internet stops working after waking up from sleep

My MPB has a strange and very inconvenient problem. Sometimes when it goes out of sleep Internet stops working. No matter what connection I use: Ethernet or WiFi (tried both), no site can be opened. The strange thing is:
at the same time other devices connected to the same router work fine (both wired and wireless), so router and ISP are OK.
from Mac I can ping any site by IP (and Skype works fine too).
So it looks like some service in Mac OS that is responsible for domain name resolution stops working.
What I tried:
Restart router - no effect
Move Mac to sleep and wake again - no effect
Restart Mac - the only cure. But in this case I have to close and open numerous applications that is really bothering.
Should I mention that all updates are in place?

Try this. Go to: System Preferences/Network/Advanced/ and click on the far right part of the bar, PPP. You have seven possible items to be clicked: instead, only click "Connect Automatically..." and "Disconnect when..." - and leave everything else unclicked.
That should solve your problem, though it'd be great if you were to post your results here.

Since i have upgraded to ios6 , internet stops working after a minute max , i have tried everything , my other ipad works fine on the same internet , and so does my iphone they are on previous software , please help me

please help me i have tried everything , like renewing lease , reseting network , etc etc , my other i pad which is on ios 5 works well , so does my iphone which is on ios4 , no matter what i do after a minute or 2 , it stops working , it automatically doesnt connect to wifi unlike my other devices, and i do it manually it works for a min and stop , device still shows connection to wifi
O and yes ! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Internet stopped working after update

i have had my blackberry for about 4 months, i am on a sim only contract which has blackberry internet, this morning i installed the blackberry desktop manager so i could update my blackberry from version 4.6 to 5.0, wouldnt let me do it from my blackberry, dont know why. After i did this everything was working fine but my app world had gone, so i downloaded it again and it was the new version, i noticed i could update bbm, so i tried to do this, i then went out to a area which doesnt have signal for orange, so the updates cancelled, when i got back in signal it was telling me to reboot my phone, do i did this, after i did this and it came back on the internet is no longer working, instead of GRPS it says GSM and when i go to services status it says blackberry internet not connected and i cant send bbms, use facebook or the internet, im really confused and dont understand what has happened,i have tried everything but nothing works, do i need to ring Orange?

Hey sarahwilliams0,
Welcome to the forums.
If you are only getting GSM on your device then you are not getting a data connection. The best course of action is to contact your service provider for assistance.

Internet stop working after some time on line ....?

Hey all ....!!
I have a bit of a problem, i live in South Africa, and have wireless internet, with a desktop modem connected to my iMac using a ethernet cable, and using the network settings in system preferences.
I have been using this setup for some time now and have had no problems, till a few days a go i did a apple update, where there was a security update and i downloaded it and installed it and all is good then a few days after that i was on MSN chatting to a friend and the after maybe 30mins or so the net gave me a strange error saying that the remote computer as terminated the connection, after witch i reconnect with no problems, then maybe 30mins later it dose it again.......
I then had a look at my settings and i found a option that you tick...... Disconnect if idle for 30 mins but it is not on... i turned if off long time ago ... then i thought maybe it was msn... so i quit msn and played on the net for some time it did it again and again and again.
I am getting a little bit upset with it ...... i have phoned the company that host my internet but the is not problem with the service and if i tell the help desk there about the problem and tell them i have a iMac they think i am talking about a burger... sorry not a nice to say but not many people that work there know what a iMac is ...!!!!
please please can someone help me in anyway at all.... please ....?
thank you.
iMac, 1.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 512mb, 160Gb Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have the exact same problem... please there must be
someone there at Apple that knows something about
this... what can we do??? Wait for Leopard... ?
OK so I tried to fix the problem myself....... I unplugged the modem and retyped all me settings again..... plugged back in and then tried again it looks like i might have worked..... you should try that...... i also phoned the iStore, Someone told me that i must go to my disk utilities and do something there but that got me a bit worried..... I don’t know iMac's all that well yet and don’t want to play with something i know nothing about........ but if that dose not work then i will phone her again and post what she tells me to do ...!!!

Ipod Touch internet stops working after 2.2.1

Hey everyone, for a while now, my internet has stopped working on my ipod touch. After the 2.2.1 firmware update, the internet just stopped. I decided to restore my ipod back the the 2.2.1 firmware and the internet started working again. Is there any solutions to getting it to work again for the 3.xx firmwares?

The only known problems with 3.x firmware and WiFi are related to old router firmware problems. There is nothing inherently wrong with the touch WiFi and the 3.x upgrade did little else than make the WiFi indicator more realistic and the need for up to date routers more important.
When you get ready to go to 3.x, update your router firmware or replace it with something newer.

Randomly my GPS & GPRS stops working after sometime and is needed to reboot the phone to get it again work for sometime

Hi,
I am facing a strange problem after the OS upgrade of my BB 9300, curent OS is 6.0 bundle 2342 (v6.0.0.526, plateform 6.6.0.195).
After reboot (alt+shift+enter), my phone works normal for some time. (time is not fixed period and is random period varying from 1 hour to 5-6 hours also, as noted by me).
After that it stops GPRS and GPS , due to which my applications like Whatsapp and Google map stops working.
I need to reboot it again to make it work.
But i hate rebooting it , as it takes time in reboot process and i sometimes misses message on whatsapp, if i forget to reboot.
Any fixes to make it okay ?
thanks in advance

Is this an Apple store you are dealing with, or an Apple authorized repair service? If it is only one and a half months old it is still in warranty, unless it has had accidental damage done to it.

HPSF.exe has stopped working. Uninstalling and reinstalling has not worked. What else to try

HPSF.exe has stopped working. Have uninstalled and uninstalled numerous times and has not worked. Desktop is not month old yet. When I first got it sleep mode would not work. Every time it would go to sleep it would crash. I finally did a refresh and that problem went away. I do not want to do another refresh as a number of the windows updates did not want to install and I had to troubleshoot them. Is there another fix to the support assistant or do I just manually check monthly for updates. Also is there a place I can get online chat cupport for my new computer while it is under warranty?

HP Support Assistant is very problematic especially in Windows 8. It works on some and not others, nobody knows why yet. It is a useless piece of software anyway IMHO and I would uninstall it. If you concern is updates, suggest doing it manually as you wish.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

New HD and new motherboard on Mac Mini and OSX will not start.

Long story but will do my best to keep it short...
Purchased Mac mini #1 at CompUSA years back and bought their extended warranty. Mini died 2+ years later which coincided with CUSA going out of business. Problem was a flashing folder with the Mac logo and a "?" at startup. My CUSA store was closing out and would not service my machine and gave me a phone number for the outsourced warranty/repair department. The tech took my info and decided a new HD was in order. I rec'd the new HD in the mail and a local tech came out and installed it (but refused to test it). After the tech left the same problem was found. Called warranty department immediately (literally 5 minutes later) and they siad they would send another HD as well as a mother board which I recieved a few days later. However, this time the local tech never showed back up and after a few weeks of calling the warranty number went dead. We ended up getting a new Mac mini which has been running fine since.
My daughter needed a computer so I figured I would give it a shot. It was actually very easy to replace the HD and MB. I tried starting the mini and it powers up but I got the same flashing folder so I put in the OS intall disc and after I select the language, I get a prompt that says "This software cannot be installed on this computer". I am using the original discs that came with this particular mini. I cannot get disc #1 out of the drive now but disc #2 says "Mac OSX Install Disc 2", "includes Mac OS9.2", and Disc version 1.3 2Z691-5533-A" on it. The mini itself says Mac mini 1.25G4/512MB/40GB/Combo/Modem on the underside.
Is this due to the fact that the entire inside of the Mini is new and now not compatible with the original software? How would I know what software to buy? Am I better off just taking it somewhere to get serviced or calling it a total loss? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

One the one hand I am being told that my OS discs are not working because they are unique (or keyed) to the original machine and since that machine essentially no loger exists due to repalacing the MB, I will need to purchase new software with a new license agreement.
It is true that computer specific install software is specific to the software with which it shipped. However replacing the logic board means that the new logic board is part of the computer. Unless the logic board was not an exact replacement, it should not make a difference; the original disks should work. In other words it has to do with the hardware not the license. The software license agreement allows the installation of a certain OS to one computer at a time, unless you have a multi-user license such as a family pack, which allows installation in up to five computers in the same household. The original computer specific software can be installed on a single computer no matter how many times. If that OS in that computer has been upgraded to a later OS, that installer can be used to install to another computer of the identical model so long as it is not simultaneously installed elsewhere. However, even then, it can technically be installed on another computer of the same model although installation of a single user licensed software will be a violation of the terms of the Software License Agreement.
The second opinion was that the original mini was equippmed with a powerpc processor and that the new MB I received is equipped with an intel processor.
True. Models of the mini released in 2005 and Early 2006 have PowerPC processors. Late 2006 and later have Intel processors.
Therefore, that pesron recommended that I purchase OSX 10.5 Leopard as this OS will cover both of those processors.
Partly true.
i. If your mini was released with Tiger it will support OS X 10.5x and later. If it was released in Early 2009 with Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G2030) it will only support versions of Leopard earlier than 10.5.6 and, certainly OS X 10.6x.
ii. It will only both computers if you have a multi-user license.
iii. New Leopard installers will only install on your old mini if the original installer itself was the problem. If the problem is elsewhere, it is not quite as certain. Unfortunately there is no sure way to know that unless you buy the Full Retail Version of Leopard and attempt installing it.

HT1349 Iphone 4s stopped working (no txts) and now will not restore

Brand new iphone 4s stopped functioning (another one bought at the same time now has the same issues) wouln't call or send texts. Followed backup adn restpre now won't restore - get error msg - an unknown error has occured(1).
Have tried repairing then removing and reinstalling itunes, disabling antivirus etc. It still keeps failing two thirds of the way thru restoring.
Help!

Have now spent an hour on the phone with very helpful Apple Support people who agree it is a hardware problem which cannot be resolved and phone will be replaced. Thanks for suggestions anyway!

X220 tablet - sound suddenly stopped working from speakers and headphone (but not bluetooth)

X220 tablet (about 2.5 yrs old, out of warranty) was working completely fine last night; this morning, no sound is coming from the laptop, either through speakers or through headphones (audio jack). I am, however, able to get sound through a bluetooth-connected speaker.
I had hoped this was a software issue. Tried uninstalling/installing all sound devices, updating BIOS, updating drivers, system restore to previous date, rebooting a million times, etc. No joy.
When I run the sound troubleshooter, it says that no speaker, headset, or headphone appears to be plugged in. The sound icon has a little red circle/white X next to it. When I try to plug in headphones, nothing happens -- does not seem to detect the event. When I press the mute and volume buttons on the tablet, no response.
Also, under Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers, it lists only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" and "Intel Display Audio". I don't think either of these is the normal X220 audio driver, is it? What else should be there? I downloaded the Conexant Audio Software from Lenovo's site (this is what came up when I searched for audio drivers for the X220 tablet), and tried to install it, but halfway through, it said the install failed because it couldn't locate the device for the driver.
This sounds like it's a hardware problem -- any way to verify? Also, which piece of hardware exactly? Is it the sound card (that's presumably integrated into the motherboard --> no easy fix)? I'm guessing it's not the speakers themselves since the headphone jack is also affected, but what is my best line of testing at this point to confirm that? If it IS the sound card, any suggestions on the best fix?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
Thanks for having me double check!

Internet stopped working on MBA after latest firmware update. Help please!!!
