My ipad 3 Bluetooth stops working for several seconds every few minutes

My ipad Bluetooth stops working for a few seconds every few minutes...very annoying. Any solutions?

firefox has become a somewhat of a pig. it is actually funny and i know this problem will soon be cured but.... here was this "anti-IE" thing that came out a while ago saying "we're the fastest browser in the world" and indeed they were. as a 13 year microsoft employee/veteran i was reluctant to try it, but try it i did. that was years ago. now all of a sudden here i am and for the past several months at least, firefox has been pausing every few seconds or so. it is totally annoying and has me researching the cause. i'm a techie/quite computer literate and know how to tweak and configure to get every last ounce of speed out of my system. let me tell you... firefox is no longer the fastest browser on the planet.... they have issues. why? they have a lot of code and maintaining a complex piece of software (they are finding) is not easy. BUT, the problem lies within firefox's code base... i've used the latest version of IE, safari and chrome and neither is suffering from the pausing problem.
how can you repro this problem? go to any webform (gmail, this forum, et al) and start typing... there will be an annoying pause every few seconds. while pausing, firefox pages out to disk, despite there being TONS of physical memory available... AND i have set my system to NO pagefile, yet firefox is paging...
or, go to a long webpage (e.g. ebay and set the search results to 200. then just use your cursor to scroll down the page) and you'll see the same problem.
hurry firefox... fix this annoying problem. i've been a happy and loyal FF user for at least 5 years

  • My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

    My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
    I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
    Any ideas anyone?

    You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
    Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

  • Thunderbolt stop working for some seconds

    I have a Macbook PRO Retina 15'' Early 2013 and I have the problem that one of the two thunderbolt stop working for same seconds.
    I often use both ports: one for ethernet and the other for external monitor through DVI.
    If I am using the ethernet in the problematic port, until a random time (between 10 minutes or 8 hours) my mac disconnects from the network. I have to pull out and in the adapter to restart the connection.
    If I am using the DVI adapter, sometime the monitor is seen as disconnected and after 2-3 seconds it is again reconnected.
    Can be an hardware problem or only software?
    Thanks

    Yes.
    Have been added a lot of different other problems: not respond after stop, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not working or not usable, usb disconnections, kernel panic, sometime is impossible to reboot...
    The Apple support has decided to change the mainboard.
    I am disappointed on how Apple is managing my problem, because they have told me wrong procedures. They have not proposed to me anything to apologize for the wrong information given... I have ever thought that the customer policy for Apple is different from other company and I was very excited to buy my first macbook.
    I have bought a macbook that costs over 2200€ and the only solution is to wait at least 5 working days for repair: I need for work, not for fun...
    My old Dell costs less that 1200€ and offers, with the same cost of an Apple care, a repair service in 24 hours and accidental damage assurance.
    I hope they can restore the good opinion that I have build in my brain and destroyed in 3 days...

  • System freezes for several seconds every minute or so?

    Recently, within the past week, my OS has began freezing for several seconds every 40 seconds or so. I had not downloaded any applications around the time this began. The last app I downloaded was iMovie 6 (for the editing features), I downloaded this several days after this problem began. The last app I downloaded BEFORE the problem began was UnRarX, which I downloaded back in April. I have no idea how to check my specs, and computer info, please tell me how to get this and I will tell you.

    Call AppleCare. Whenever you buy a new Mac, discs are always supplied with them. Usually they come in a white envelope that is square with the user manual in the box. If you bought it from a non-Apple source, you should call them and ask them to send you the disc. It isn't their's to keep, and they can call AppleCare to order them. And no, it isn't in the Utilities folder. It is a physical optical disc that looks like a music CD, but says MacBook Pro on it.

  • Flash games freeze for some seconds every some minutes

    I just had a stupid moment and upgraded from Firefox 22 to 30 yesterday. I know every version adds problems and removes features, but I wanted check what is the current status.
    Now, Firefox 30 freezes flash games for some seconds every some minutes. Of course, with the 22 this never happened.
    The computer is identical, only Firefox is changed.
    Considering the level of the answers here, I in advance say:
    * no there are no viruses or malwares - I said only Firefox is changed
    * yes I cleared cache cookies and other stuff people say when they do not know what else to say
    * yes flash is the same version
    * I have no theme and the addons are the same of the old version
    * I could care less about safe mode. The old version never saw safe mode and it worked fine
    Maybe there is some stupid about config setting for which Firefox want an useless disk access? something new in the version 30 I mean.
    Maybe version 30 is become so inefficient that when it updates the cache it freezes totally?
    I have last faint hope for some real practical suggestion, for which I thank in advance.
    With FF 22 I could play flash games for hours without problems, with v 30 I need to close it every hour otherwise it takes so much RAM (up to 2 GB) it totally hangs. But hey they removed the download window, they say "use an addon". When the RAM is totally out, they say "you have too many addons". Wonder why. Next time we will need an addon for supporting images?

    Hi zzzz1,
    This is a really good question. It has been a while since I have tried version 22, but you have mentioned most of the recommended troubleshooting steps including: malware, clearing cache(offline), updating flash, safe mode and no new add ons.
    I wonder if the new version has different system requirements.
    [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/system-requirements/ version 22][https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/system-requirements/ version 30]- No.
    There are add ons that optimize cache size and block flash content, as well as Ad block plus which blocks some scripts running in the browser. These could minimize the 2GB of Ram.
    In all practicality, have you tried reinstalling Flash or clearing the actual flash cache. This may mess with online game storage though, so maybe not.

  • Streaming video (using Videos-app) from MBP 13" to iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is stuttering/lagging every few minutes

    I have imported a number of movies and tv shows into my iTunes library. This library is located on an external USB 2.0 hard drive which is connected to my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012. I use an Airport Extreme (5th gen.) as my network hub, everything is connected wirelessly through either the 5GHz or the 2.4GHz wifi signals.
    Whenever I watch these videos on my MacBook itself of my AppleTV (3rd gen.) everything works just fine, no lag or stuttering. But when I want to watch these videos on my iPad 2 (6.1.2) or iPhone 4S (6.1.3) using the standard Videos app, I get lag and/or stuttering every few minutes just like you would when an internet video isn't loading fast enough. Speedtests indicate a stable internetconnection (fiberglass) at 30Mbps up and down, and internet videos (i.e. Youtube) stream just fine, even the 1080p ones. That's why I don't think my networkconnection is the problem.
    Frankly, I don't have any idea where to look next. I checked all settings in iTunes (homesharing is enabled, any other settings seem to have no relation with this subject) and the iPad/iPhone, restarted the devices completely but not with any improvement.
    Why is this happening? I'm used to Apple products having an optimal user experience, but in this case it's just not working like it should...

    Try putting one of those movies onto your macbooks' drive and stream it and see if you have the same lag.
    It's probably not being pulled from that external drive fast enough causing the lag.
    I know you can watch it off your macbook fine, but you're pulling it onto the laptop, then pushing it out to the router and data transfer is always slower the more 'stuff' you give it to pass through.
    For example, I can pull stuff off a harddrive at a gig a minute....but if i pull it off one and write it directly to another (using the computer as the go between) i get about 75% speed.....something that should take an hour can take almost an hour and a half.
    So try streaming directly off your macbook and see if you stutter.

  • MICROSOFT FOR MAC FREEZING EVERY FEW MINUTES!

    Does anyone know why whenever I'm working on Word or Excel on my Macs, that every few minutes the application freezes, indicating that I have to go & kill 5-10 minutes before I can continue with my work?
    It's very frustrating :-(
    I'd be grateful for any help / advice.
    Thanks.
    Gareth

    Try repairing your drive for starters.
    For another, killing can leave open files corrupt.

  • After Effects CS6 hangs for about 20 seconds every few minutes or so.

    I'm using AE CS6 and every few minutes (anywhere from 5 to 20) it'll just hang for about 20 seconds. The spinning Windows 7 wheel pops up, then when I click AE it goes transparent white and "not responding" pops up in the title bar. I wait about 20 seconds and everything returns to normal. I can't figure out WHAT could be causing this as there's no log or error to really check.
    32 gigs of RAM on a Xeon E3 v2 Ivy Bridge chip. 660 Ti Nvidia card. Windows 7 Pro.
    It's such a weird vague problem, that I don't know how to troubleshoot it. Multiprocessing of frames is turned off. 24 gigs allocated to AE.

    Figured it out, at least so far. I upped the amount of GPU RAM it was allowing AE to use. I swear I did this before, but apparently didn't. So now..no hangs. I'm sure at some point I'll work on a hefty enough project to bottleneck the GPU, but at least I'm good for now.

  • CTRL+H and CTRL+B have stopped working for Firefox. Every other CTRL command works. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    Whenever I want to open my history (CTRL+H) or my bookmarks (CTRL+B), I use those commands. They've always worked. Yesterday, they mysteriously stopped working. Every other CTRL+KEY command still works flawlessly.
    I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days, and I've already tried to restart my computer. What could be the cause of this?

  • Firefox "stops working" and shuts down every few mins or less.

    A message pops up that says Firefox has stopped working and to close the program. I can "refresh" to the same spot but it's happening every few mins or less. Any suggestions? It's only been happening for the past 3 days, and like others who's systems are "crashing," it's only been happening since the newest update (18) updated onto my computer. I have already done the Firefox refresh or whatever it was called... The only thing that did was get rid of my extra bookmark toolbar rows...still trying to figure out how to get those back! :(

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
    #Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Playing movies: Video fades to black for a second every 5 minutes

    I have a problem with front-row: with some avi movies, video fades to black and back every ~5 minutes; audio is played normally without any interruption. I have perian 1.1 installed and the movie has no subtitle. 5 minutes is exactly the display sleep time: is that a coincidence or something is wrong with front-row disabling sleep timer ?
    thanks
    cheers

    I have this same exact problem. I have a newer Intel Mac Mini 2.2gh with dvi/hdmi out to external hdtv. At exactly 5 minutes on some .avi or .mkv movies, I love video but still get audio. I always thought it was just me except that it drove me so crazy today that I decided to look for a solution.
    The video files themselves play fine in quicktime and/or VLC. It just ***** that Front Row stops playing them. It even happens when I fast forward.
    As a side or possibly related note, has anyone else experienced stuttering in Front Row on large files? More importantly, does someone have a solution to the missing video in Front Row.

  • When uploading an image from my documents firefox 5 hangs for several seconds to a minute.

    This in on an XP SP3 system. The problem seemed to have started with 3.6 and has been a constant issue even with current versions. When I upload any file firefox just hangs for a short while then it's fine for the rest of the day only to come back the next day. I relocated "my documents" and it went away, then a few weeks ago I did a clean install and the problem seemed to be gone for good. Now the problem is back.
    I thought it might be a disk issue, but it checks out fine using check disk.

    The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
    I very much want a way of suppressing it.

  • Why would the finder quit for 1 or 2 seconds every few minutes?

    Only since installing ML.

    Go to the Go menu, hold the Option key, and select the Library item that appears. Then go to the Preferences folder in here and remove the file called com.apple.Finder.plist, followed by logging out and back in to your account. Hopefully this will help the situation.

  • In Yosemite, I can;t operate for more than a few minutes with Keychain or Safari asking for my login password.  How can I turn this off, and still be safe?

    Using Yosemite, I an't seem to work for more than a few minutes without being asked for my login password.  Keychain wants it, Safari wants it, iCloud wants it..the list goes on.  Then in 10 minutes or so, they all want it again.  Passwords are being stored by Safari as usual, but new tabs or pages bring up the request.  How can I turn this off and still have protection?

    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.
