My ipad goes blank every few minutes

Does this happen to you? Have you fixed it? My iPad one with original iOS goes off, intermittently, in all programs. Just decides it does not want to operate. I have done hard shut downs etc but doesnt seem to hold. horrible when playing game, reading book or watching shows

The iPad iOS is supposed to handle the app memory issues on it's own and there is supposed to be no need to shut down apps in the task bar. Most apps really are not running anyway, they just appear in that task bar as "recently used" apps for easy or fast switching back and forth. The new iOS 5 has multi-touch gestures built in that supplants the need for the home button task bar in many ways since it allows you to swipe from app to app. If you have the iPad 1 like I do, that feature was not included for us "lower life forms" - only the iPad 2 can take advantage of the feature.
It seems like you may need to restore your iPad or you need to try deleting some apps. Sometimes the iPad will crash due to corrupt app data and if you delete the app you remove the data as well. It is sort of a trial and error thing. Select an app that has a lot of data - maybe a newspaper or magazine app - or a game app - many of those can contain alot of data that may get corrupt over time - and try removing one or some of those. You can always resync the app or download it again for free. If you delete apps, backup the iPad first. If it turns out that you can't find an app with issues and you want to retrieve it - you will want to restore the app data as well.

LED Light Going Off Every Few Minutes

My LED notificiation light is going off every few minutes. I have no new emails, I have no new texts, no new notifications. i have turned off my phone, I have taken out the battery and put it back in. I have changed my notification settings. I don't know what to do next. Help please! I have a Blackberry Pearl Flip Phone.

Hi,
Check and see if you have a program that has an update in Blackberry App World. That might be it. Also, check and see, your device might have a software update under wireless update. It could be one of those two places.

Touchscreen goes haywire every few minutes on Model 15-n071nr

it seems to be happenin more and more often. When I use my laptop the toucscreen becomes unresponsive or does things as if someone is touchhing it however i never actually use the toucscreen, only the mouse and keybpoard.
There will be rather lare quarter sized dots going vertically along the same spot to the right of the midline of the screen as if someone is touchin it there. I have to close te lid then it all works fine again when I open, but lately it starts going haywire aain witin a few minutes. Sometimes it does seem to do thhis wen I touch the OUTER edge of the laptop (not the screen) to adjust the angle of the lid/cover. I am pretty sure the laptop is not more than a year old. But it may be I bought it a little over a year ago....Dont know if I still have the reciept but I might.....
And my other HP laptop the G and H key work intermittently. In some apps tey work fine in and in oters they dont, like right now. Wats odd is if I type anoter letter, ten back space over it, then I can type a G or H fine no trouble. Very odd
I used to love HP but I have A:LOT of trouble with thier laptops over the last few years. I wont buy another one.

Hello @tiffcady,
I understand that the TouchScreen feature of your notebook computer is not working as it should, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To correct the functions of the TouchScreen, I recommend following this document on Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8. This should help to return your TouchScreen configuration back to default settings.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes, Bought HDMI adapter to play movies from my iPad but it will stop every few minutes

Once I begin to play a movie from my iPad to the TV using the HDMI adapter it will pause and lose sound every few minutes. I am using the video app and the movie plays fine if not connected.
I have also checked to make sure that everything is connected properly.

Well, I thought it was solved... or at least solved enough to live with. I had originally installed 2.6.31 from testing to try and fix this issue, and it substantially improved, but now it's gotten worse again. At home on a WPA network, it drops maybe once or twice a day. Here on this unencrypted network, it's going out once or twice every half hour. Same error messages as above.
I tried reinstalling, but ended up with the same errors almost right away. This bites!
Anyone have any other ideas to try?
Thanks,
Scott
EDIT: I tried rebuilding rt2x00-rt71w-fw from source. PKGBUILD has the incorrect source link. So I actually went to the ralink site, downloaded the (hopefully correct) driver package, unzipped it and copied rt73.bin to /usr/lib/firmware --overwrote the existing copy. I haven't got any errors yet, but it's only been 20 minutes so far. We'll see. I'm not sure if it's the identical rt73.bin that's currently in the repos or if it's different. Forgot to compare the two before I overwrote the old one.
EDIT2: No luck with the different rt73.bin. Also tried the new Ubuntu karmin beta and got the same errors -- and a freeze when I pulled the adapter out when it stopped working.

Ipad Air update to IOS 8.02( stuck in apple logo; turns blue every few minutes and starts over; itunes does not recognize it)

Hi everybody,
i updated my IPAD bought in october 2013 to IOS 8.02.
Now the IPAD only goes to the apple logo, every few minutes it blinks blue and starts over. I tried doing the home plus switch thing and it doesnt work.
Itunes does not recognize the device either.
Do you have any solution to this issue?
Regards,
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo ..
Folllow the instructions for recovery mode here > iOS: Unable to update or restore

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.

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

Why does my iPad keep losing the wifi every few minutes?

Why does my iPad keep losing the wireless connection every few minutes?

Every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.

I installed Lion last night, now every few minutes my screen goes blue! It has never done this before I upgraded to Lion.
Any ideas?

Hi Jack
Thanks for the reply. Thankfully, it has stopped now.
My iMac is quite new and less than half full, so I don't think deleting anything would have helped. Maybe the CPU was working too hard for a while ?
Just glad that it is now stable again.

HT1277 I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini. While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes. What is going on?

I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini. While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes. What is going on?

Network errors can cause the password dialog.
The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

How to stop my ipad shutting down and rebooting every few minutes

My iPad G1 consistently closes down every few minutes and reboots even if just sitting idle on Home Page. How can I stop it PLEASE??????

Try Recovery Mode per the instructions here. If that doesn't help, you may well have a hardware problem. Sorry.

Every few minutes I receive a "not responding" message and I can do nothing until it goes away.

Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 sec., Firefox will hang up. If I try to keep typing I'll get a "not responding" message and will have to wait until it goes away to continue. This happens consistently when going through my e-mail, but it happens at other sights, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my add-ons and it still happens. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem still occurs. I am on the verge of going back to Microsoft Explorer because it is taking far too long to navigate in Firefox. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell laptop with plenty of speed, memory and hard drive space.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
