Need to reset my DLink 2750B about 3-4 times a day.

Well, It has been a few months since I posted about the same problem here. About 3-4 times a day (almost always when I am online), I lose my internet connection in the entire house. All I have to do is unplug the modem, wait 15 seconds, plug it back in, and everything is fine. A few hours later, rinse and repeat. I have called Verizon several times about this issue. The last time, I wasted about 2 hours of my evening. One of the "customer service" reps had me repeat all of the test that I had already done myself, only to arrive at the same result. She transferred me to "tech support", and I spent an hour on the phone with someone else, repeating the same tests over again. Guess what - same result. I was told that a Supervisor would call me within 2 hours. Clearly, this was just to get me off the phone, because nobody called. Now, here we are, 5 months later, and the same modem, same problem. No way I am wasting another 2 or 3 hours repeating the same steps all over again, I will just end up going off on some rep who really doesn't belong in that position. I just thought I would post another example of the "fine" customer support we have all come to expect from Verizon. I will now go on eBay, to see if I can find another Verizon modem for sale, because Verizon won't even let me purchase a better modem. Good luck with your concerns, I hope you have better luck than I did.

Not sure if you will see this, but it's somewhat refreshing to see that others are having similar issues and that it's not just me. My Dlink 2750B needs a reboot every couple days so I guess I should count my blessings...
I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with support doing the same tests as have been done multiple times on my line, (no issues found) and finally convinced them that I was having a modem issue, not a DSL issue.
My modem would keep the internet light on solid green even if I unplugged the DSL line. all my devices would be locked out (no connection) and when attempting to connect, the device would bounce between "authenticating" and "obtaining IP" until it finally failed.
Received a new Actiontec from verizon (free) to replace the Dlink. This morning, sure as can be, the modem locked us out.
As I stood in front of it thinking "yay.... this crap again" ready to install the Actiontec, it rebooted on it's own. Connections are good, speed is good.... ~sigh~
I would like to know what you mean by "signal is better" with the Actiontec. Do you mean more range or faster speeds when comparing to the 2750?

My MacPro 1.1 Keeps Crashing about 4-5 times a day

Can anyone give me an idea what to do.
My Mac Pro 1.1 12GB Ram connected to a 30 Cinema Dislpay keeps crashing about 4-5 times a day. I have a ATY, Radeon X1900 graphics card.
Not sure what to do?

Normally I would say get rid of the X1900 if you plan to continue to use it.
You have been cleaning it every 3-4 months, as those cards are terrible on dust and heat.
Also get down to one good set of RAM or just pick up a 4GB kit 2x2 $25 from Amazon.
While at it, can't hurt and definitely a big plus to go with 250GB $139 Samsung EVO SSD.
Got a good older clone? should. Every freeze and crash is likely contributing to more corruption of ifles and directory making it worse. So good idea to start with new RAM, newly formatted drive, clean install of system.

With my iPod Touch I need to reboot the wi-fi about half the time when accessing wi-fi connected apps, more like 80 percent when using Viggle. Irritating.

My iPod Touch has a quirky wi-fi connection. About half the time I need to go to settings and reboot the wi-fi to use apps like weather and mail, more like 80 percent with Viggle. It is irritating. Is it an iPod software problem? I don't have this problem with other platforms.

Do you have this problem when connected to other networks?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If you ony have the problem with your network that indicates a problem with your router.

I am getting a "how to reset your Apple ID" email over 25 times a day. It's been doing this for multiple days, and it's really irritating me. How do I stop it?

This is really irritating, and blocking the email would not help, as I may need to reset my ID.
But, I'm getting one of these emails every single minute...

Already this morning it has crashed twice. This has been going on for a while.

I need to reset my time capsule/airport every day - time capsule has green light but I don't see any wifi signal on my mac and other computers.

as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)

For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well.

IPhone 4 freezes, need to reset to fix

When I purchased my iPhone 4 (under contract) it would freeze when either trying to make a call, or when I hang up.
IOS 5 seemed to fix that but now my phone will randomly freeze once of twice a day.
I have updated to IOS 5.0.1 but still have the problem.
Sometimes the phone will unfreeze itself after a few minutes, or I will have to reset the phone.
Every now and then it will also turn itself of and not power on until it has been plugged in for at least 30mins, even though the battery is over 50% full.
I make sure all apps are closed once I have finished using them.
Is this a common issue and is there a fix?
I don't want to have to go to the apple store and having them tell me there is nothing wrong with the phone because is wont 'freeze for them'
Thank you.

I'm experiencing the same problem and I'm very frustrated. This is my first iPhone but I'm sure it's not because of anything I did wrong. Here are just some of the incidents:
* I was watching a podcast and it locked up and showed the apple logo. Forced to do a hard reset
* I exported a video from iMovie and after that I tried going into the facebook app and I got kicked out to the home page. Tried that a couple of times with the same result. Then I got the black screen with the apple logo and the spinning icon thing. Forced to do a hard reset
* Today this happened about 3 times. I would be in any app (or even the home scren). It would go to the black logo screen. I click the wake/sleep button and I'm taken to the ulock screen. So, the phone does not get locked up but something strange is happening. I'd eventually get to the home screen but the icons are scattered all over the place and I can't 'touch' anything. I'd click wake/sleep and eventually the phone would appear to have recovered and functioning fine. But after a few clicks it will eventually freeze completely.
So, in 4 days, I've had to reset it about 2-3 times each day. This is my first iPhone and I'm very disappointed and frustrated at this point. And I thought that the reception/antenna issues were going to be risky enough! I bought the phone from an AT&T store. If I go to the Apple store and they determine that I need a new phone, will they make me go back to the AT&T store or will they be able to handle it there?
Thanks,
Jack

I have just reset my password about a hundred times and still the face time and I messenger is not working, I previously used FaceTime once and now I need help urgently
What am I not doing?

Hi fatbear711. are the following as follows? Settings/restrictions: Facetime and Camera are both ON? Also in Game centre at bottom 'Adding Friends" is turned on? If all ok, log into your account via itunes App, Click on your ID at bottom left of say the Music page, then click to 'Manage', enter password. On next page click on your apple ID at top, then select to go to '[email protected]'. Log in on the browser window page that appears and confirm that your primary apple ID and primary email have been verified (should have green ticks and the word 'verified' next to them. If you use itunes on a pc to sync with then do this through iTunes;Store menu on your pc, ensuring that you sync your device once finshed. You will also need to check that your device is set to the correct timezone and time in your devices settings page. If problem still persists at least we'll know the basics are ok.
When you post again can you also include whether ipad2/3 etc and iOS e.g. 5.3.1/6.01 etc
Best regards

Can't see about:config, need to reset

So, I was trying to test the effectiveness of retina images in this site that I'm building, and I inadvertently set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to something absurd like -12. Now I can't see anything on the page, and I need to reset the configurations blindly. Is there a way to do this in a url string? Or anything else? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to reset my security questions, I have done what it said on the website but when I try to answer my security questions it doesn't give me an option to reset them. I am doing this on my ipad do I need to do it on a computer?

Hi can anyone help me with my question

The reset link will show under the two questions on your account if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account. If you aren't getting the link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address (by answering the two questions on that screen) for potential future use (steps 1 to 7 half-way down this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312)

Why does the iTunes AppleID system refuse to work properly without the need to reset the password every time I open iTunes for use?

Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.

Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

So the left side of my iPhone isn't working at all and I even tried turning it off for 5 minutes about 10 million times but nothing is working. Any suggestions on what to do I need help like ASAP!?

Have you performed a reset? Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons and await restart.
