My wireless keeps shutting off and have to reboot to get it back on

I have a Macbook Pro 17" I never once had this happen to me before the 2nd time I had to download Lion. So I had Snow Leopard never a issue, then upgraded to Lion no issuses for MONTHS. I had a Motherboard replaced and they replaced my OS to snow leopard and i upgraded it to Lion. Then it started, once then twice then 3x with in 20 min. my wireless shut off. Then it stayed on all night no problem. I week goes by it starts up again and stops again. Then i went to the genuis bar again and they checked it out left it over night didnt happen to them at all they said so I took it home. Happened to me the first 10 minutes i had it up!!! Happened a few more times that night but then it stopped that was a month ago. Then yesterday it happened again only extremely agressive every few minutes all day and night i was re booting my laptop to get my wireless to work. So I downgraded my software to snow leopard. Well hours into it BAM nothing im all smiles and happy................................until is dropped AGAIN just a couple of minutes ago. As I look this issue up there seems to be a TON of users out there with this EXACT problem and yet not a single fix. Some get it fixed by changing something and yet it doesnt work for others its insane. We spend all this money on our Mac's and when we call or go in we are told we are nuts that there is nothing wrong with them. So please PLEASEif you have a fix share it here
Thank you guys

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My mail contacts list keeps disappearing and have to reboot to get it back.

    My email contact lists keeps disappearing when I go to another page like Face Book. When I come back to my mail my contact list is gone. Then I have to sign and out and sign back in again to get the list. What's wrong here?

    Hi Fishfever,
    From an earlier post:
    Start playing a song, any song.
    Tap on the album artwork area for the song playing to bring up the scrubber for the song.
    The shuffle icon/selection is located at the right of the scrubber, and the repeat icon/selection is located at the left of the scrubber. If repeat is on, the color of the icon will be blue. Select the icon until the color of the icon is white, which means repeat is off.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.

        Thanks for keeping us posted lizy7796. May I ask did the replacement device resolved the powering concern? Also, how much available device memory do you have after you restored your info onto the new device? If you have any additional questions then as always we're here to help.

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • HT201263 after updating my ipad 2 to ios7 it keeps shutting off and turning on

    after updating my ipad 2 to ios7 it keeps shuttingn off and turning on.

    Hey moniemack,
    When troubleshooting power issues, the following article provides the most relevant information. While it pertains to iPhones, most steps are applicable for an iPad:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My ipad keeps shutting off and cannot restart immediately

    please help, my ipad keeps shutting off for no reason and will not come back on again unti it is ready.  at least 5 times now very frustrating.
    any suggestions?

    Damien.
    First, try to do a full backup—reset—restore of your iPad via iTunes. (a) Plug in and, if it doen't start automatically, run iTunes, (b) back up your iPad, (c) do a total reset, (d) restore this last backup.
    If this is enough, just go ahead and do it.
    Otherwise, do like me — dummy — and read the excerpt from Apple's KB below:
    --- Quote
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    (...)  You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    --- Unquote
    If this does not work, (and probably won't, but it's a 5-minute operation), then you should seek hardware assistance. If it's a brand (or almost) new iPad, go back to the shop and they will give you a new one, without much trouble... It use to happen with iPods and exchanging the product was routine in this shutoff—restart issue.
    Regards.

  • Windows 10, shut off and won't reboot

    Windows 10 installed, welcome page came up, said Hi M, and as I started to read, it shut it's self off and will not reboot, doesn't even turn on. It's brand new, had it a week and have olny received email and surfed the web.

    Unfortunately, this does sound like a dead Time Capsule.
    As  last ditch effort, try a full factory default reset as follows:
    Power off the Time Capsule
    Wait 20-30 minutes
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it for another 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the Time Capsule
    Release the reset button after the 9-10 second hold period and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    If still no luck, the Time Capsule will need to be replaced or repaired. If the Time Capsule is still in warranty, Apple will replace the device for you. Or, if you have AppleCare in effect on one of your Macs, the Time Capsule might be covered if it is not past 3 years of age.
    Apple will not offer repairs, but they are possible. See this link for more details:

  • My iPod keeps shutting off and not responding

    My iPod started restarting itself and opening back up every three days. It is completely charged when it shuts off but when it opens back up it needs to be charged. This started happening recently and I don't know why. Help? My home button is broken

    Try:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - 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 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time.  Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

    Hi,
    I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time.  There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time.  Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch.  Thanks!
