My iTunes will work for a few minutes then becomes unresponsive
I will be on iTunes for a couple of minutes and then the pinwheel will start and I am forced to quit. It happens every time I open iTunes.
Please help!
Try turning off your router for about 5 minutes then turn it back, then restart your Mac.

Macbook Pro...will work for a few minutes, then power goes out all together
Hey guys, tried finding an answer to this somewhere else on the forum, but came up empty. If this has been answered elsewhere, feel free to direct me there.
I have an older macbook pro (2011) that's in rough shape, but worked well up until recently. The symptoms I'm experiencing:
-The computer will charge (all lights are showing green on the charger and the computer)
-When I try to turn it on, sometimes it will turn on fine. Other times it will light up, then shut down immediatly
-If I remove the power cord and insert it again, sometimes it will boot up
-When I can get it to boot up. It will run fine for about 1-2 minutes, open all the programs, then shut down/black out all together (as if the battery was removed)
I'm assuming this is a hardware issue, or a cord issue, but not sure where I should be targeting my efforts. Any ideas? Thanks !Hello FrancisN,

Trouble with Safari 6.0.5. Works for a few minutes then locks up in all tabs (wheel spinning). Chrome & Firefox work fine. Using OSX 10.8.4. Wonder if I downloaded plugin causing this? Please help.
Yes, a plugin or an extension either one...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit. -
Airport express works for a few minutes then orange flashing light
I was given an Airport Express as a Christmas gift to stream music to my stereo whilst in the same room. I configured the AX as per the instructions. A green light showed and streaming worked fine for a couple of minutes before cutting out and the light flashing orange.
I reset the AX and tried reconfiguring but I had the same problem. I also tried configuring via ethernet but the same problem occurred again. I don't think it's a bandwidth or signal issue, as although I am a couple of rooms away from the router, my Macbook shows full signal in the same location as the AX.
If it helps I am using a Netgear WGR614 router with WPA personal security. I hope somebody can help.my Macbook shows full signal in the same location as the AX
The "bars" really don't give you an accurate picture of the signal strength, and they tell you nothing about noise.
You might want to download a utility like iStumbler to get a different look at your network and also identify other wireless networks around you that may be contributing to the Wireless Interference that is likely causing your problems. -
Internet dropping. Works for a few minutes, sometimes seconds. Then cuts out completely and hangs.
Since doing a clean install of Mountain Lion on my 2011 iMac. The internet connects on startup, works for a few minutes, then hangs as if it's getting stuck.
Everything is up to date and I've tried numberous ideas to fix it (Renewing the DHCP, editing the MTU). Nothing works.
It's still fully connected to the wifi and says there's an internet connection but nothing will load, not just the browsers but also anything else to do with the internet also doesn't work.
I've seen others with the same issue also.
Any assistance would be highly appreciated as my iMac is pretty much rendered useless currently.Mort wrote:
Before you do any settings on your Router, First you can upgrade the firmware of your router. Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Click Here to configure your router with DSL ISP.
Thanks for the instructions Mort and clong but before I update my firmware, I was able to connect to the internet on my computer with the router at last! But there is still a problem. Whenever I try to connect my PS3 to it, it would stop working for both my PC and the PS3. -
My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??
Basic troubleshooting techniques for any problem
Restart the computer = joy?
Reset the router = joy?
Restart the computer in Safe Mode = joy?
ask yourself "What changed immediately preceding the onset of the problem?" = Anything... hardware, software, cabling, environment (interference source)

Hello King Cutway
If you are having issues with the functions keys, then check the settings in System Preferences > Keyboard and look to see if Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys is unchecked so you can use it properly.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace -

My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?
Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.

Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries. -
I conneced the Apple TV and it worked fine at first. It has worked well for some time. We are using them in our school this year, as well as converting to all apple products. I have been able to pull up my computer screen through Apple TV onto our projectors. However, tonight when I started apple TV, the mirroring icon came up, and everything seemed fine. Then a message came up that the Apple TV Box needed an update. I clicked on the button to run it now, and it seemed fine. The mirroring worked for about 5 minutes after the update, then I got a screen that had a picture of the Apple TV Box and a USB cord directed toward a picture of the iTunes icon. The light on the frontof the component flashed, and I couldn't go to the menu at all. I wouldn't do anything. I no longer cold see the Airplay/mirroring icon on my computer either. I tried to shut everything off and reboot the computer and the Apple TV box. However, none of this worked.
Any suggestions??? I'm a high school football coach, and this is how our team will watch film this year. I really need to get this rectified by the end of the week, as our team will go into camp for the next two weeks.Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
