My macbook keeps logging me off unexpectedly while I'm using it. What do I do to keep it from doing this?
When I'm using my macbook pro, the screen just turns black all of a sudden, and then after a while, it lights up again, asking for my password so I can log back into my computer. It's not due to inactivity or anything. Do I need to change my system preferences or is it a virus? Please help!
Have you completely shut down the computer, waited a few seconds/minutes, then turned it back on.
There was a similar post the other day and it ws because the user never shuts his computer down. He aways put into Sleep mode.
Here's the link to that thread.

A blank tab opens in Firefox every time I open a .pdf file. I've noticed several people have this issue but no sufficient response has been posted yet. It is incredibly annoying, especially since I may open multiple pdf files at once and when I return to Firefox there are several blank tabs open.
Are you using the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) or the Adobe Reader, either in Firefox or standalone?

Help!
Reboot your iPad and see if that fixes it. Unlock the screen first, reboot, lock the screen again and see what happens.
You are seeing the padlock icon in the upper right corner indicating that the screen is actually locked, correct?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up -

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Macbook Pro keeps connecting to the wrong wifi. How do I stop it from doing this?
Select the wi-fi tab in the menu bar then select "Open Network Preferences..." Select the "Advanced" button, then select the network that it is interfering with your MBP, then hit the - button and it will "forget" that network. Hope that fixes your problem, good luck.

itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing that.
See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16483979#16483979
Check for other iTunes preference settings that might cause this.

Why does my macbook pro suddenly go to sleep while I am using it
My 2009 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will suddenly go to sleep (or so it seems) while I am using it - like mousing or typing on it. It is difficult to get it to wake up. I either have to hit the space bar repeatedly or hit the on button a couple of time before it wakes up again.

Why does my macbook keep disconnecting from my network
im currently using (borrowing) someone elses wireless internet at the moment but i dont see why my macbook is having trouble with the wireless connection from downstairs when it was working fine for the past week, what should i check for to make sure nothing is wrong??? everytime i try to connect to it, the network disappears from my list of networks, could this be due to two other computers using the network?? im rubbish at computer stuff so i need some tips!
cheersIt is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal to your MacBook.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
Other things to try:
o Switching channels - In some cases (especially when interference is at play) switching channels on the router can improve reception weakened by various causes.
o Recycle the AirPort card - You may want to try turning your internal AirPort card off then back on if you are having access issues. This can be accomplished through the AirPort menu item, or using Internet Connect (located in the Applications folder)
o Disable any third-party wireless applications (monitors/sniffers) - Some third-party applications that manipulate or otherwise interact with the wireless connection may cause problems. -
MacBook keep disconnecting from LinkSYS WAG325N WiFi Modem/Router
Hello,
I've been using my MacBook for a really long time. Over 1.5 years I had no Wi-Fi connection problems until my US Robotics 9106 Modem stopped working. I bought a nice LinkSYS WAG325N Modem. From that moment on, my MacBook started to disconnect from LinkSYS's WiFi constantly. I used every wep/web2 etc. security protocols possible. Nothing worked.
With my US Robotics I used MAC Filtering which worked perfectly. I did the same settings to LinkSYS as you can guess that didn't help at all...
I did firmware update to my modem, it even got worse so I downgrade my modem to previous version.
I read almost every forum out there, no one has came up with a solution.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, please do so, I need urgent help or else I need to take my modem back before 15th day of using it is over. And try to find some modem that my MacBook would like...
Thank you.Hello,
Yes I tried with US Robotics, worked perfectly.
It worked at all caffe's wifi spots (I have no info about their modem/router)
Strange enough, I realised that, if I place my old wifi modem next to this one just connecting the power and turning the modem on, somehow macbook connects fine !? it is too weird, and nearly impossible to explain. but if I place these two modems together and connect with linksys, and the other is just on, no connection no nothing just its wifi is on, MacBook connects... but if I leave the room and go to the living room the problem occurs again.
And since all the other windows laptops connecting from living room has %85 signal power this modem is wonderful. But for a MacBook, it is nothing but pain.
If I get a chance, I'll ask a friend to bring his macbook here which is newer (core2duo) mine is core duo and see what happens. -

Hello zia200z:
Goto Trend.com and run a full scan using house call its free. Then please install virus protection unless you love replacing hard drives and memory chips. You have a bad malware or virus on your computer that is causing these issues. You can pick up from any where especially from game sites and you tube sites. Ounce your system is clean then we be able to help you repair damages. Go from there. I hope D. drive has not been damaged yet. Recovery is easy to do. Provided D drive was not effected. What I would do is purchase two things a very good anti virus software such as Trend Micro Titanium Pro. Farely in expensive and a set of recovery disks from HP. Then just insert recovery disks and install anti virus software. These computers are excellent and are easley maintainable. I know Trend Titanium Pro can scan your back up files from this effected computer when you add these files back on again. I would start backing up my personal filed while you wait for delivery of recovery factory recovery disc. Yes it is easy to do recoveries but I think your D. drive has been damaged based on what you wrote. That is why I recommend you purchasing a set recovery disc.
