Laptop disconnects but BT homehub doesn't

Hiya,
This is my first time on these forums, so I thought I'd come for a little bit of advice on a recent issue I've had on my laptop. Yeah, as you guessed the issue is just as it says in the title.
Up until just recently my laptop will go on and off at random times throughout the day. This is annoying considering I don't know what the problem is myself. Had the laptop for about a year now and it's been fine ever since. The issue has been going on and off for the last three weeks although just recently it's been more frequent. Later on I found out the same issue was happening to the family laptop downstairs. At first I was convinced it was my laptop, but could this now have something to do with my router ? The light for the Internet stays on always, perhaps I have to change my router ? I didn't want to make any decisions straight of the bat because this sort of thing has never been an issue for me.
Any feedback on and possible suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks a lot. I don't seem to have any issues with my net now. Thought I would change the channel and give it a day before posting any feedback and it seems to have worked for now

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    My laptop and itunes are not seeing my ipod classic. the ipod is charging, so it sees the macbook. But the macbook doesn't see it. I have the most recent itunes loaded. the usb connection is fine. I've rebooted the laptop, I've rebooted the ipod. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

  • Disconnects but doesn't say so

    Every now and again I'll be disconnected but iChat doesn't say I've been disconnected. The person I'm chatting to will have ... nexct to their name (as though they're typing) but I never receive their message - I try to message them and it appears to go through but it hasn't. I have to quit and restart iChat. Very annoying and it's even more annoying becuase I have to keep on asking them what the last thing they typed was!!!
    Any ideas. Btw I'm connected wirelessly but can still access the internet/email whilst this problem is occuring.

    Hi
    Try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190
    Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.

  • TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

    By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
    Thank you!

    The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted.  This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat.  Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • My iPod classic is saying "do not disconnect" but neither my MacBook Pro or iTunes is recognizing that it is plugged in.  What can I do?

    About 2 weeks ago my iPod told me that something (I forget what now) was corrupt and my iPod had to be restored to factory settings, so I did that.  Before I had a chance to resync my iPod, my harddrive in my MacBook Pro crashed and had to be replaced.  Now when I try connecting my iPod classic, my iPod says "do not disconnect" but neither my laptop or iTunes is recognizing that my iPod is plugged in.  I have tried using another cord, restarting my iPod, restarting my laptop, iTunes is up to date...what else is there that I can do to get my iPod to connect to my laptop?
    Thanks in advance!

    Try a system reset, hold down the off button until it turns of and then back on again, this might not work though if it is properly stuck. If all else fails go to Apple

  • 'Do Not Disconnect' but not showing up in iTunes!

    I just got done syncing my iTouch and remembered I have an old Classic layin' around. So I get it, and I plug it in.
    It says 'Do Not Disconnect' BUT it doesn't show up in iTunes. The hardware wizard on my computer said, "iPod Found" and "USB Storage Device Found" and stuff. So I know the computer recognizes it just fine.
    What do I do to fix this? I want this to me my movie/video iPod while my Touch is for music and games.
    Thanks in advanced.
    I'll keep posting on here with any information you guys ask for.

    hi- I have the same issue and was looking for an answer: hopefully someone can help

  • I have 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN but this hangs after 57 minutes and 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away but have to wait about 10 minutes then have another 57 minutes

    I use a mac with 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN & citrix receiver to connect to work via my home wireless which connects & works brilliantly but then hangs after 57 minutes and about 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away although it goes through the motions but doesn't find a connection. I have to wait about 10 minutes (or restart the MAC) then it connects fine again and I have another 57 minutes. I previously used 10.6 for a while without any problems and then the VPN just stopped connecting? after trying to resolve without success I upgraded the OS hoping that this might fix the issue which it has but created this other problem! I can live with it but thought there may be some way to correct this surely.  I'm not heavily technically minded and have read reports about the racoon service may be causing this but not sure how you do this very simply step by step
    Thank you for any ideas you can give

  • Installed 3.4.1 update but Lr now doesn't recognise my images

    installed 3.4.1 update but Lr now doesn't recognise my images,
    Installed it last night but my images now are blank with question marks on them.
    Anybody else have this problem, or any ideas on how to fix it ?
    Images are still all on my harddrive
    Abit worried
    Neil

    Your observations are not quite correct:
    It is as follows:
    a) Question mark on the frame of the thumbnail: When you hover over the "?" the words "Photo is missing" appear; when you left-click the "?" you will get the menu <Locate>. Select <Locate> and navigate to the location of the photo. If the name of the photo has been changed outside of LR, you will also get the "Missing photo" message / question mark and when you <Locate> and navigate to the renamed photo you will be asked to verify that this is the correct file.
    b) Question mark besides the folder name: Indicates that this folder is missing. Right-click the folder name and the menu <Find Missing Folder> appears.
    Navigate to the location of the folder. If a parent-folder and the sub-folders have the question mark besides them, you only need to find the location of the parent-folder and the sub-floders will also be found by LR - provided that the folder names have not changed.
    Missing Image / Folder: Does not necessarily mean that the image / folder is not on the hard drive. It means that LR cannot find this image / folder.
    Among several reasons, the main reason is that image files or folders have been renamed or moved in Finder / Win Explorer. Since LR has the files and folders in the catalog under the old name, it gives you now a "missing" message.
    You also get the "missing" message when an external hard drive has been disconnected from the computer.

    and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

    The requirements for iTunes:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

    Hans

    Hi,
    Since you already have one copy activated the serial number must be logged in your account details - I would first check that the one logged and the one you are attempting to enter are the same.
    You can check your account details by going to www.adobe.com and clicking on Manage Account. You need to sign in with your Adobe Id and then click on View All under Plans & Products. Next click on View your products and after a while it should produce your list.
    If there is a problem with the serial number, only Adobe can help you there (we are just users). Please see the response in this thread
    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and ge

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD
