Keep loosing keyboard connection

I keep loosing keyboard and somtimes trackpad connection. The light on the keyboard flashes then it connects again. Any ideas. My imac is a 3.06Ghz Core 2 Due running 10.9.1.
Whether its connected or not but occasionally the mac will freeze when in Safari and the only way to start again is to power off. These problems dont happen together and when the keyboard looses connection, the trackpad still works.
Most confusing any help will be much appreciated.

  • My i phone 4  keeps loosing its connection with my Toyota Camry bluetooth-- anyone have any ideas why?

    My i phone 4  keeps loosing its connection with my Toyota Camry bluethoth   does anyone know what I can do about that?

    Ignore the ridiculous post by W1$C.  He posts that regardless of the person's question.
    Things you can do to solve your problem:
    1.  General>Settings>Reset Network settings
    2.  If this is only happening at home, power down your router for a minute, then power it back up.
    3.  Other basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are to restart, reset, and restore--first from backup, then if needed as a new device.
    Hope this helps.

  • RE1000 keeps loosing internet connection

    I recently bought the RE1000 extender to improve our network at home.
    I'm using the Linksys WRT610N router and Linksys WUSB600N adapters to connect, no encryption or mac filter.
    My problem is that the RE1000 extender keeps loosing internet connection, the computers are still connected to the extender with full signal strength but no internet (Network magic icon with red X).
    If I disconnect/connect to the wireless network when this happens the computer will connect to the router with only one bar strength.
    To fix the problem I must restart the extender, then it works for a couple of days again before internet is lost again.

    As you mentioned in your post that if you connect the computer with the router's network it connects with one bar but does it go online? If yes then connect the RE1000 from the Router and check the DHCP client table it will show the RE1000 IP address and then configure the RE1000 again… Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000…
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3760&userrole=Linksy...
    Wireless settings in RE1000 will be same as router… In order to get the best performance from an RE1000 you need to place the extender in an area where you still have at least 50% signal strength to your router when you place it in the final location where the RE1000 will be used. Once after the configuration of the RE1000 try to connect the wireless laptop and check the connectivity…
    Secondly in the DHCP client table the client name shows up with the Device name and not the Wireless Network Name…

  • Apple tv keeps loosing the connection with the mac

    Purchased a new desktop mac, time machine and an apple tv. everything is working splendid however the the apple tv seems to keep loosing the connection with the computer. As I sit here i see its no longer listed on the i tunes as a device, I seem to have to reset to the factory defaults again and re install it. I hope I am wrong and I am missing a step and its there and maybe I just don't know how to access it, So here I am posting this to all, Help.... I will be the first to admit I really am a little lost with this apple tv
    thanks you everyone

    I have the same problem as you do. i have had my apple tv for about 2 years now. I connect my apple tv to my iMac, via wifi by airport extreme. i used to before connect via ethernet cable to my airport extreme, i still had the same problem as you do. that itunes losses the apple tv. yet, from apple tv i can still access the internet. i have gone through all my settings on my airport, they are all correct. the connection only seems to last a few days then, it just losses connection. i have asked this question before, but now one was able to help. Apple is not interested because apple tv is just a pet project to them. you do not have to rest the apple tv every time, you just need to go to the options menu and select the connected computers and tell it to delete connection to your computer. once it has done that, make a new connection to your computer on itunes put in the new passcode and set up which films etc you want to be sync. We should not have to do this every few days. Apple needs to sort this out or at least lets us know how to stop this.

  • Ipad 3 keeps loosing wifi connection

    My new ipad keeps loosing wifi connection when downloading documents, apps, etc.
    When i turn of the wifi and download via the 3G, it works fine. And after switching on wifi again, everything seems good.
    Are there anybody that has the same problem with the new ipad?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Keep loosing the connection to my 30" display

    Hi
    I've just bought a MacBook Pro 17" + and adapter to my 30" Apple Cinema Display.
    There seems to be an annoying issue however; 3-4 times during a work day I loose the connection to the 30" display. This happens without any prior notice. I don't mess with the cables or anything. Everything is plugged in nicely and securely, and the weirdest thing is that even thought the connection is lost to the screen itself my mouse and keyboard (which are connection through the screen) still works.
    I need to unplug the adapter to the mini display port 1-3 times before the connection is reestablished.
    3-5 times during the day what also happens is that the screen "blinks" for about 1-2 seconds (goes dark) and then goes on again ... causing me to hold my breath hoping the connection is not lost again
    Is this a knows issue? And what to do?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Can I "change the channel"?
    Of course. You would change the channel on the wireless router creating the wireless network. The AX will automatically detect the channel that the wireless network is using.

  • Imac keeps loosing WIFI connection

    Hi all,
    I loose wifi connection most of the time (but not all the time) at around 18:00 pm !?!, very strange !
    I have no neighbors and no houses close enough to interfere with my wifi.
    After loosing connection I do: Syst. Pref - Network - unblock modification with password - Help me - Diagnosis then choose my wifi
    and it starts working again for 3 minutes.
    Then I loose connection again and have to go through all the previous steps.  After 4 or 5 times it's all ok.
    What gives ? Can anyone help me please ? Any suggestions ?
    I have to use wifi because my ethernet port and firewire ports both stopped working and Apple says I have to take the machine for repair.
    Thanks for any help.
    OSX 10.9.4

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 7
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 8
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Linksys E1200 patch 2.0.05 build 2 Mar 28, 2013 - still keeps loosing Internet connection

    Hi Guys,
    Anyone with the above issue - suddenly now my internet keeps loosing connectivity.
    Is it the ISP fibre issue or the cisco linksys e1200.
    Any feedback appreciated.
    many thanks in advance

    To properly isolate on which device is not working properly is to disconnect the router from the setup and connect your main computer directly to the modem (via Ethernet cable). You can observe the internet connection through the modem for at least 24 hours. If you find that the modem is working fine (stable) then the problem is with the router. So what you can do is reset the router (pressing and holding the button down) for 15 seconds and power it down for also 15 seconds. You re-configure the internet connection on the router after that. Set the wireless settings, too, like change the SSID, set the channel to something else and make sure that wireless security is enabled. You use WPA2 for wireless security on the router.

  • Keep loosing NAS connections (nsf/cifs)

    In order to try to get some better data protection I hooked up a NAS (infrant ReadyNas NV) using a Gb switch (linksys SD2008). Problem is that when I - try to - play back music I loose the connection at unpredictable moments. Sometimes iTunes pcks it up again and resumes playback, often not.
    There don't seem to be a performance issue, I can copy large files at the same time and keep the connection perfectly open and usable. Now, while typing this message there have been 2 interuptions ...
    Who can shed a light into this ?
    any tip/hint is more than welcome,

  • New IPad keeps loosing 3G connection

    I purchased the new iPad from Canada and moved it to Haiti where I am presently working.
    In Haïti, I pruchased a 4g plan (more like a 3G+) from Digicell and immediately activated it.
    The speed is great... when it works.
    Problem is, despite having several reception bars, the 3G keeps switching to edge. I can very rarely keep the 3G connection for more than 30 minutes before having it switch to edge. The only way for me to get the 3G running again is to turn the iPad off and turn it on again. If I just turn on airplane mode, the 3G logo will appear but I will get a message saying that it could not connect to the cellular network.
    After reading about this solution somewhere else in the Forum, I tried setting a a new pin password, but that did not change a thing.
    It is a very frustrating problem. I know for a fact that it's specific to the new IPad, as I tried the same chip in an IPad 2 and it works just fine with no interruption.
    I asked Digicell to reset several time my account but that didn't help.
    What can I do to keep my connection from failing. Any solution or software update?
    Using edge in 2012 on the newest apple product is just ridiculous...
    P.S: absolutely no problem with my wifi.

    I have exactly the same problem in Australia.  I'm using the Optus 3G network in Melbourne.  I seem to be having most problems after leaving a WiFi network. The service indicator says I have 3G service but all the apps say 'no connection'
    I'm using a new iPad 4G 64G

  • Keep loosing internet connection

    I apologise if this isn't the right place ask this, but it I don't know where else to ask. We have a pretty regular problem with our internet. Most days (and sometimes a few time a day) we loose our internet connection completely and the only way to get it back is to unplug our router (a D-Link G604T wireless router) and then after at least 30 seconds plug it back in again. I've spoken to D-Link and they have said that the problem is with our internet provider (TalkTalk). I've also spoken to TalkTalk and they say they haven't got any problems and that it could be the router which they don't support, but it could also be the weather or that other people in the area are using the at the same time.
    I just wondered what other people thought and it anybody else had experienced similar problems.
    Thanks

    do you have time machine set up?
    if yes, observe to see if the internet drop out occurs EXACTLY when the time machine is backing up... if so, you've got the same problem as me.
    solve issue, by turning off time machine or moving to ethernet.

  • Macbook Pro 10.10.2 keeps loosing wifi connection.

    How do I fix my connection issues with my wifi.  It disconnects numerous times daily.  I turn off wifi and then back on to try to reconnect...it doesn't even find my network until I turn wifi off and on about 4 or 5 times and eventually my network will pop up and sometimes it doesn't so I am forced to reboot.  I have 2 PCs, 3 ipads and 3 iphones on the network with no issues.  I have also noticed the internet speeds on the mac are horribly slow.  Any suggestions?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    Step 5
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 6
    In the Wi-Fi settings, select
              Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local only
    Click OK and then Apply.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 8
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 9
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
    Step 10
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • My Mac keeps loosing Internet connection even on ethernet

    Hi,
    I connect to internet through my LAN. Earlier it use to work fine but for sometime now I have been loosing connection every 10 mins or so. I have tried every possible thing I know, including resetting the SMC, deleting the Cookies folder in Library and manually enetering the network preference details. I have encountered many people having this problem for wi-fi but my problem unique as I face it even with ethernet. It is very frustrating as I have to put my Mac to sleep every 10 mins for getting internet. It is a mid 2011 MBP with mountain Lion OS. Please Help

    Have you tried resetting your router and your DSL/cable modem? Usually, you just unplug both from mains for about 5 minutes, although some modems, in particular those that have battery backup, may have a reset button.
