N770 behaving weird

A couple of years ago I got a second hand N770 from a friend and I have been using it frequently and satisfactory. However, for the last couple of mounts it is starting to behave weird, as if it is degrading.
Symptoms:
It is very difficult to establish a WiFi connection. Most of the times it wrongly reports that no APs are available, or fails connecting to one. Sometimes it reports nearby APs with a very low wignal while in fact the signal is very strong.
Connection failure is reported after 5-10 seconds, long before a potential DHCP timeout. Once a connection is established it is stabl and behaves normally.
Spontaneous reboots, most often when connected to the charger. Sometimes I connect it to the charger and it reboots within a couple of minutes. Sometimes it just keeps rebooting.
I suspect the battery but given the charger-reboot issues I'm not sure enough to buy a new battery,
Does anyone recognize this behaviour? Any tips?

My 770 (there's no N) used to reboot fairly frequently too.. I believe this wasn't totally uncommon and was just bugs in the hardware / software that were never fixed.
My device stopped connected to my wireless at home a few years ago.. I found out that there seemed to be a maximum number of APs the 770 could cope with.. as more and more of my neighbors got wireless broadband at home, the number of APs I could see went through the roof.. eventually the 770 just gave up connecting..
This was after I got an N800 so I wasn't too fazed..
Your device is getting on a bit.. the OS was pretty beta for the whole of the 770's life.. I wouldn't be surprised if the hardware was degrading..

Macbook Pro 2011 charging behaving weird. Charges and stops repeatedly and takes very long. Help?

So a few weeks ago my MacBook Pro 2011 started having charging problems. I would use it normally. Then plug it in to charge anywhere between 5-20 percent like I've been doing for the past year that I've had it (since August 2011). Anyway, what happens now is that it charges but extremely slowly - at least 4 hours to fully charge as opposed to the 1 1/2 to 2 hours that it used to take. Also, it seems to be draining a lot quicker than it used to while only browsing the internet. Furthermore, while charging, the battery meter goes from the percent its charged to to "not charging" back and forth. What's going on? Is there a problem with my battery, my computer, or the magsafe charger? [please refer to the pictures below to get a better understanding of my problem - these pictures were taken over a 2 hour time period - a time period that usually is enough to charge my computer] - if you'll notice, in the first two pictures, the percent barely went up by 10 in a half hour period:

Thank you,

try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out for you.
if doesn't work - better take it to Apple and have them look at it before something else goes wrong...
good luck - hope you get it sorted out..

MacBook doesn't find Wifi and mouse behaves weird...

When the new iOS came out I received an update message also for my MacBook Pro. Since I installed the update the system doesn't find any Wifi connection any more! Even not when I try to choose a connection in the system settings: There is no single connection listed in the network list and the Wifi-sign keeps blank without any signal sign.
Since the same time also my mouse refused to work properly: Scrolling is now impossible and when the Magic-Mouse is switched on, the active window starts to move up and down.
Don't know exactly if this strange behavior came from the iOS (iTunes, whatever) update or from another one: At the same time I downloaded also a Firefox and a Skype Update.
Does anyone observe similar problems since the last iOS update release?

I'm having the same problems recently. Bought my white MacBook in Jan. '09, worked great for several months; now it won't stay on the Internet for more than five minutes at a time unless I'm right next to the router. The Airport icon, when selected, shows my network but for some reason it has been deselected. My husband's Dell has no problem at all, even if he's out on the back porch, so it's not a signal issue.
I've updated the software to the latest Airport but that seems to have made it worse. I've tried nearly all the things Solvi did to no avail. Has there been an answer yet from Apple on this?
(Had to re-select network to sent this short post!!)

Macbook with weird streaming issue

Hi all,
Weird problem so I'll try and lay it out clearly.
We're streaming using Wirecast through an ADSL2+ connection outbound.
The stream works perfectly to a number of macbook pro's and a number of desktop PC's but when I'm using a Macbook the data rate which normally fluctuates around 512kbps seems to go nowhere about 23kbps and can't stream the video.
The same laptop can run the iPhone launch presentation in HD no problems with upwards of 1200kbps. This same laptop has previously worked fine with wirecast I think possibly a setting to do with the encoding has changed though I can't for the life of me figure out what.
The settings we're using in Wirecast are as follows:
H.264
640x480
High quality
25fps
Key frame every 50frames
Bitrate limited to 512kbps
I also tried the same stream on an older 12" Powerbook - and it had the same slow result.
Because of this I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the built in graphics card of the macbook as opposed to the standelone mbpro ones.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like I said, it works fine on other machines, even PC's, just the macbook and the 12" powerbook can't seem to do it.
Thanks!

Also forgot to mention I downloaded divx for mac too to see if that helped but it didn't.
Thanks

Macbook acts weird unless disk in superdrive

So I recently got this macbook, I have had it for three months. I really like it for the most part. There is one exception though and it seems to have something to do with the cd drive (it might not even be a problem i might just be a noob). Whenever I wake the macbook from sleep it makes the usual sound from the cd drive but if no disc is in the drive the computer will be basically frozen for about 30 sec then just works normally. For the most part I can deal with that but it happens at other times too. If I open the disk utility it will make the same sound that it does when it wakes up and then will freeze for a short time with a spinning color wheel then it will go away. It also happens if I go to the "Serial-ATA" section under more info in "about this mac". The weird thing is none of this happens if a disc is in the drive not even the waking up sound

I just wanted to add that any time I press the eject key on the macbook it will temporarily freeze to. Is this normal? I have seen other macbooks that open disk utility and can use it almost immediately but my macbook will be frozen for a minute.

Macbook Pro weird boot problems

Hello!
I have a macbook Pro (late 2012) with OS X Yosemite (latest update) and I have some weird stuff going on in it...
2 days ago, I was using normally it, as I use it for work, when it suddenly freezes (never happened before). when i turn it on again, a empty symbol shows instead of the grey apple until i turn it off.
then, when i opened the recovery mode to see if my HD was damaged or something, it just do not shows my HDD at all to verify for integrity. I trun it off and let it be.
After several hours later, i decided to try to boot it again, and, for my surprise, it boots normally and all my files are normal. But after 10-15 minutes backing up all my important files to cloud services, it begins to be really slow. The spinning disk is shown even when i tried to close a finder window, move simple pages files or even to open the top menu to shut it down. The weird part is going even crazier: when i put a freezing gel (a gel packet that freezes and thaw without water is involved) under the macbook, the slowness is off and it works almost at normal speed. when the freezing effect is off, the slowleness is back
All this parts repeats very often.. sometimes the empty symbol appears when booting, sometimes it boots normally and after several minutes it becomes really slow. I tried to diagnose if a hardware problem was involved (pressing "D" after pushing the power button), but no problems were found at all.
what is going on? do you guys even had this? I hope it´s not the logic board!
(Sorry for my bad english)

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Photoshop behaving weirdly (help please!)

Photoshop noob here! Any help would be appreciated. The more I use Photoshop cs6 (64 bit) on my computer the more weird behavior starts to occur. The first time I installed it started out fine like usual. Then out of the blue opacity started behaving strangely. Even when I turned a color to 100% opacity and layed it on top of another color in the same layer it would not be completely opaque. I could still see the shapes/lines through the supposedly 100% opaque color. I searched the internet and couldn't find a solution. I kept coming upon the suggestion of reseting all the tools which did not work. When told to delete my photoshop preferences (the psp file) both manually and by using the CTRL-SHIFT-ALT shortcut when starting photoshop the former launched photoshop and then resulted in a "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." error. I could only click ok and continue working on my messed up version of photoshop. Secondly, the ctrl-shift-alt shortcut did not work at all. Fed up, I deactivated and uninstalled, then reinstalled Photoshop.
It worked perfectly fine for a while and then different strange behavior started happening again. First, the eraser behaved like a blue brush in the background layer. Instead of erasing white and seeing the checkerboard pattern like I always used to it would just color blue instead. I could do this at different opacities as well. On the background layer it is essentially a blue brush. This wasn't super annoying as I could just add another layer but then my pressure sensitvity stopped working on my tablet too. I downloaded all the latest tablet drivers to no avail. I again was told to try deleting my prefernces which again resluted in the "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." error. Also the ctrl-shift-alt shortcut still doesn't work.
I've looked everywhere for a solution and still cannot figure out why Photoshop continues on this self-destructive path. Any help would be appreciated. Again, I'm new to photoshop so if the answer is extremely obvious then sorry!

Resetting preferences is first aid for PS. Uninstall and reinstalling will not fix an error in this file.
You need to start PS and immediatley hold down the ctrl alt shift keys (assuming Windows OS) and you will get a reset window. If you are not fast enough you will see the splash screen. Some find help in pressing and holding 2 of the keys, start PS and immediatly hold down the 3rd key.

Macbook Air weird audio problem?

Hello all,
This is about an issue I have with my speakers, I realize there are alot of similar questions out there, but I have yet to find a solution, and since none of the cases I have read completely matched my situation I thought I might as well make a new post.
About a year ago my laptop (Macbook Air 2,1 late 2008) speakers suddenly gave out during a movie, I always assumed I blew my speakers because of the weird sound they made right before they died. Since then I have always used headphones or external speakers whenever I needed audio, but it does get a bit tedious at times..
Just recently I was browsing through my preferences when I noticed something odd. In the sound panel the output name was referred to as "Internal Speakers" but under output type it said "Headphone Port". Now, whenever I plug in my headphones or external speakers it says "Headphones" under output name and "Headphone Port" under type, which makes sense. But if it were just my speakers that are physically broken, shouldn't it still say "Built-In Output" under output type if the headphones are unplugged?
I was wondering/hoping that this might be some kind of software problem after all, and that it could still be fixed. Maybe somebody on the forums would be so kind as to give me their thoughts on this? Please note that I do not hear a chime on start up, I can adjust my volume just fine and there is no red light coming out my headphone port (I've had this issue before and was abe to solve it). I have already tried an NVRAM reset, but no luck..
Is there anything else I could try?
Thanks,
Genkakuzai

UPDATE: I performed an smc reset as well, the audio type change to "Built-in", but shouldn't it say "Built-in Out"?

Macbook Air Weird Sound Problem

Hi,
I have the following problem: the sound stopped working on my macbook air (the previous model). I was sure that it is hardware issue: sometimes it appears for a couple of sec, then disappears, sometimes I have the sound with weird noise in the background. I wanted to get it to service center, but I need the laptop for use and can't get it to repairs for at least a month. However, later I found that when I boot from bootcamp and use windows 7 - the sound works perfectly. I assume that if it is working in windows 7 - then it could be non-hardware problem. Do somebody have any recommendations what to do?
Thanks for your help!

MacBook Pro - Weird problem. Really weird!

My MacBook Pro, a 15-inch, Early 2011, has been driving me crazy the past few months. Here is the problem and as crazy and weird as it may seem, believe me, it's 100% REAL! Most of the time it boots just fine and my wireless card is working fine. If I'm working on a desk and the laptop is not going to be moved at all, everything goes well for as long as I want. If I try to pick up the **** thing or move it, even for an inch, **** brakes up! No wireless. Trying to deactivate it and then activate it again only makes things worse. Then the wireless sign becomes gray with a big X in the middle which means no wireless card is installed . I thought it was the card itself, so I bought a brand new one. No luck, still the same issue. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue but I can't figure out what. I've checked the antenna cables coming from the card all the way to the screen but nothing seemed out of order.
It's really annoying. I have a laptop and I have to treat it as a desktop. Any help would be really, really appreciated.

Hi,
Try a startup in Safe Mode. If that does not fix it, perhaps you should take it in to the Apple store, as it is still under warranty. Here is the link for the Genius Bar.

Macbook Pro weird top left noise.

My mid 2012 macbook pro is making some weird strong noise coming from the top left corner. I tried to speed up the fans. They seemed to work but the frequency of the noise varies so it's definitely a problem linked with the left fan. What can I do ? There is no apple services where I live. Thanks.

Get a pentalobe driver and take the bottom cover off of the MBP and inspect it for possible dust and debris in the fan and other parts.
Ciao.

IMovie is behaving weird, can I uninstall it and install it back again?

The app iMovie on my Macbook Pro is acting weird. There is even footage that is gone from my library I just don't know where it went. So, I am planning on uninstall ing the app and installing it back again. Do you think that will solve the problem even though I will lose some projects I still have.

You don't lose any Projects nor Events on re-installing iMovie.
but before doing that, give it a slap on the back head by erasing its pref-files:
Quit iMovie
in Finder, hold the alt-key, click on 'go to ' in the menu bar, select Library, open Preferences, find and trash com.iMovieApp.plist
look, if iMovie gets back to normal..............

Mail behaving weirdly

Mail has started behaving a bit weirdly since yesterday. Graphics are not shown any more. When I try and check things on Preferences Mail stops responding and I have to force quit. Everything was working up to yesterday. I haven't updated anything. Mail is version 2.1.3
Any ideas? Thanks

Restart your mac:
Safe Boot: Hold down the shift key after the chime until the Apple logo appears and the gear is moving.
It will take awhile but you will be asked to login.
Go to your Applications folder> Utilities and launch Disk Utility.
In the left side column, highlight your drive and repair permissions.( button down below).
From BDAqua:
Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this folder & file to the Desktop then reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Mail will ask to import your messages. If all goes well and Mail is fixed trash the files on the desktop.
