Need to unplug router several times a day

over the last few days I have had to unplug and then plug in my router several times a day in order to make connection to the internet, has anyone else have this problem, if so how do you fix it?

All,
I posted this in another tread as well.. wanted to get as many opinions as possible.. 
I am also having the same issue on the WRT54Gx2… reflashed, hard reset, called tech support, ISP, wired or wireless, leave the wired PC on , turn it off, no cordless phones, no interference, full bars, changed security protocol, bands, shows it is hooked up, yet will not work. Not over heating. Worked on wireless not on wired… at the same time, to recycle I would kick off the wireless that is working, so I was dead in the water… arrrgggg  .
Happens everyday. Yesterday, unplugged and recycled about 10 times.
Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated. First time posting here..
Disgraceful that linksys does not step in.. obvious issue on numerous boards.
Thanks again for any suggestions..

  • I have to reset my airport several times a day...why?????

    Why do I have to reset my router several times a day????

    I returned it today. I had to push a bit on the store to replace because they could not duplicate the problem and because I did so many restores, there was no data that they could check to see the history of resets, or so they said.
    But, alas, a secret manager in the back approved a replacement but I was reminded this was a one time courtesy replacement. The Genius rep was very cool, same guy who helped me the first time.
    I said, "how am I supposed to come in when it locks up? I need to use the phone, so I am always going to reset it. I can't wait to come to the store and just live with no phone for a day or two." He responded that unless they can see the problem or duplicate, there is nothing they can do. A very reasonable policy and it makes sense, but you would think that if I just got the phone on Friday and came back Monday, I might get the benefit of the doubt, which I suspect I did in this case.
    Got to love Apple, they just want to make their customers happy. I marveled as another customer brought their Generation 1 iPod nano in for repair / replacement and they were looking for ways to give her a credit. Another guy brought in an iPod classic that clearly had been abused and they replaced it.
    They really do try.

  • Several times a day my HP Laptop disconnects and reconnects to my WRT600N router.

    I’ve installed a new WRT600N.  (Firmware Version: 1.01.35 build 5_20080115).
    My install was a “Linksys EasyLink Advisor” guided and is generic.  SPI Firewall Protection is enabled.  Security Mode is enabled for WPA-Personal.
    The laptop I use with router is an HP/Compaq 6710b (also new), running XP Pro.  The built-in WiFi adapter is a “G” type (Intel PRO/Wireless 394ABG) with “Windows Wireless Network Connection” enabled.
    Presently I don’t use the “N” capability of the router.  However, I plan buy a 2nd laptop with an “N” WiFi adapter soon.
    The router works well…most of the time. Signal strength is “Very Good”.  However, several times a day my HP Laptop disconnects and reconnects to the router.
    Each time this happens I get a “Linksys EasyLink Advisor” prompt stating “Network Problem!...the connection to the router is not working”.
    After experimentation I realize that most often the connection will restore by itself…or worst case; I can re-detect and restore the connection using either the “Linksys EasyLink Advisor”  wizard OR the “Windows Wireless Network Connection” wizard.
    Besides losing the connection, the most annoying part of this is that after the connection is restored and the “Linksys EasyLink Advisor” wizard message remain indicating: “Network Problem!...the connection to the router is not working”.  
    Suggestions?

    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
    If you continue to have problems, try the following:
    For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.

  • TV shuts off several times a day

    My livingroom TV (supposedly with a HD STB) just goes black and into "standby mode" several times every day.  I've reset the modem/router and even unplugged/rebooted the box but the problem reoccurs within 10 seconds or 10 minutes or 30 minutes. This is really aggregating!!!! My bedroom TV with a STD is unaffected as are both of my computers.  Going to the "troubleshooting site" on Verizon has been no help as my STD looks nothing like those pictured and has no clock ( my STD box does!!!!!) The Verizon site is useless!!!!!!! Can someone please help me?

    The first question I would ask is, when you say "standby mode", are you describing a black screen with the Verizon logo and a message "Press Menu to watch FiOS TV..."? If yes, then keep reading. If no and the screen just goes black and stays that way then you might be having an issue with your TV and not with FiOS.
    Could not find a good reason why a functional STB would enter standby mode several times per day at seemingly random intervals. From what I could find, there are three reasons an STB would enter standby mode:
    The STB has been powered down using the power button.
    The STB is left tuned to a channel that you are not subscribed to.
    The STB has an HDMI connection to the TV and has sensed that the TV is off.
    These describe the box going into standby mode without resetting/rebooting. If you are seeing a red screen when you turn the STB on, it has lost power and been reset. This could happen because of:
    a power outage
    an update
    an internal error reset
    an overheating/ventilation issue
    I would:
    perform an STB Auto Correct
    reseat all your cable connections
    contact Verizon about a possible replacement
    Let me know if you need help doing these.
    FYI - your STB is a model 7100-P2. It's the only one without a clock. You can click here for more info.

  • My iMac running 10.10.2 keeps crashing several times a day. It does a automatic restart and gives me a option to send in a report. Any ideas what might be causing this?

    My iMac does an automatic restart several times a day. It gives me a option to send in a "panic" report. This happens randomly during the day and night. Any idea of anything new that might be causing this? I am up to date on all applications.

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" (AV) software. The usual answer is "no." That answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.
    It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to, and does not, defend against such attacks.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't been checked for security by Apple unless it comes from the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial AV or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • WRT120N drops connection several times a day

    I have a WRT120N router & I have to hard reboot it (I think that's what it's called when you have to unplug the **bleep** thing) several times a day as it drops the signal to all devices. Is there any fix to this? It has something to do with turning on or re-introducing certain wireless devices into the area. When I come home with my iPhone & my wife is on her computer, suddenly the wifi stops. And vice-versa. It's ridiculous. I'm not a computer programmer but if I was I'm pretty sure this would be a no-brainer to fix. Especially if the company that paid me took pride in their products.
    If there is no fix, I will go to a competitor for my next purchase.
    thanks for any help.

    @ sabretooth
    I've looked through the forums but it's kind of a needle in a haystack scenario. I've searched 'WRT120N connection drop', 'WRT120N wifi issues' & all sorts of stuff.
    Again, needle in a haystack. It may very well be one of those things that's looking me right in the eye, but if I don't happen to word it correctly I'll never get to it.
    The problem should not be with a customer's lack of investigative skills but the manufacturer making shoddy equipment in the first place. If there was any such thing as accountability anymore, or even just the basic concept of customer service this wouldn't be an issue. Companies that actually care will do their best to resolve customer's issues.Sadly, this concept has become a rarity.
    In looking for a solution to my problem I'm reminded of a Douglas Adams quote that ends with "...in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
    but I digress.

  • HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC overheats several times per day

    My laptop overheats and crashes CONSTANTLY—several times per day!  I have vacuumed all of the vents in back, I took it to the Geek Squad, who sold me a chill pad that helps minimally, I have started putting ice packs on the lower left corner, I don't take it outside, anymore.  There is nothing that keeps this laptop cool enough for me to use like a laptop and take it where I need it.  It started doing this about 6 months ago.
    It's sitting on the chill pad right now, getting hotter and hotter (everywhere to the left of the letter i).  Also, the adapter gets so hot, it makes me think it might be a fire hazard.  It seems to overheat slower when it runs off the battery, which seems to be the only thing that doesn't get hot.
    What do I do about this?  I don't want to get another laptop; this one is only a year and a half old.

    It likely needs to be opened up and cleaned out around the processor/heatsink and new thermal compound applied. I am understanding that the battery does not heat up? What if you let it run down and then recharge it with the laptop on? Does the battery get hot during that process? It does not heat up as much on battery power because the processor has been "throttled back" to save battery life so that tells us the heat is likely coming from the processor. You can set the processor to run at 97 or 98% power even when plugged in and this helps a lot but should not be seen as a permanent fix. Go into power options in Control Panel and get to advanced.
    Set maximum processor state plugged in to 98% and see if that does not help.

  • I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day). The green light will go amber but the internet service (ethernet cable) will still be fine. The wireless icon on devices with go away.

    I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

  • My IPAD2 is stuck on restoring ipad firmware. Whereas, I had unplugged it several times to restore it again; however my IPAD is stuck on the iTunes logo. Please what should I do to restore or get my IPAD working normal again. Please advise,

    Hi there,
    my Ipad is stuck on the iTunes logo. When I try to restore my ipad again it would get stuck on Restoring Ipad Firmware. I had unplugged it several times; and redo the whole restoring agian but its still the same thing. Please really need your help in how I can restore my Ipad to the way it was before.
    please advise,
    Alvin

    removing volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
    The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
    So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement.  WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
    It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY.

  • My ipadmini kicks me of my wifi several times a day

    My iPad mini kicks me of my wifi several times a day , and none of my other non apple devices do this please help

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Why does CC now sign out several times a day and applications revert to trial mode almost instantly?

    Since the last update my Creative Cloud connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be relicensed. I cannot stress how annoying it is to be reading a PDF only for Acrobat to close and then be invited to start my "trial". Whilst this doesn't actually stop my use of the Adobe applications it is very disruptive to my normal work flow. What I struggle to understand is why the appliactions so quickly revert to trial mode. Surely even if the CC connection is lost they should remain licensed for days?
    Running Windows 7 and the main apps I use are Illustrator CS6, Illustrator CC, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC & Acrobat XI Pro.

    Jo: hello
    Jagadish: Hi Jo .
    Jo: Since I last updated Photoshop some weeks ago, connection signs itself out several times a day. Applications continuously revert to trial mode and need to be re-licensed.
    Jo: I can see this was mentioned in a forum a couple of years ago but can't see there was a definate solution
    Jo: I spoke to someone here yesterday, they had me sign out of creative cloud and back in, but that froze my computer, as all adobe programs do at the moment, and the chat window disappeared
    Jo: I have tried the things suggested on this page https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
    Jo: except for Download the IMSLib Replacer, because the link is broken
    Jo: which i mentioned yesterday, but it would appear it has not been fixed
    Jagadish: I understand that you wish to activate software .
    Jo Wickham: Oh my gosh no

  • 1.1.2 causes my classic to crash several times a day

    I updated my classic to the latest firmware (1.1.2) and, for the first time in the history of my iPod usage, it has started crashing suddenly several times a day. It always crashes when selecting a new song, podcast, video, or audiobook, never during playback or other menu navigation (although maybe once or twice when navigating to a "leaf" menu in the menu tree). This is infuriating because it causes me to lose my place in the audiobooks and podcasts I have listened to since last crash. Is this a known issue? I haven't seen it discussed in the forums.
    So, although I do notice some minor performance improvements in 1.1.2, I will be attempting a downgrade to 1.1.1 shortly. I just need the 8+ hours free to wait for my 120 gigs of content to load after a restore.

    Before reverting back to 1.1.1 see if another update to 1.1.2 works after a restore. It may have been a glitch with the update. It's worth a shot.

  • My iMac loses connection to my AirPort several times a day.

    My iMac loses connection to my AirPort several times a day, and I have to manually select the AirPort each time.  My other devices (laptops, iPads, iPhone) never lose connectivity to the AirPort - just the iMac.  What is going on?  It is just inconvenient to take the extra steps to reconnect my Wi-Fi every time I want to use my iMac.

    Make sure your system is up to date with all available Software Updates since this problem was supposed to have been fixed some months ago, but I understand it remains for some users.
    Assuming everything is up to date, try this: Using the Finder's Go > Go to Folder... menu, open the following folder
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Drag these three files to the Desktop:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    preferences.plist
    This will only make copies of them. If they still exist in the folder, select each of them and then drag them to the Trash. You will need to authenticate with your Administrator name and password.
    Restart your Mac and log in again. Your wireless network will not be selected automatically, so select it from the Wi-Fi menu. The three Preference files above will be replaced with new ones.
    Use the Mac and determine if this made any difference. If you think it's fixed, you can drag the three files from the Desktop to the Trash. If not, you can always drag them back to the original folder. You will have to authenticate again, and your previous network preferences will be restored.

  • Can we recharge iPhones several times a day even when they are in 50%

    Dear all,
    Can we recharge iPhones several times a day even when they are in 50%?
    Is it OK, if we leave iPhone plugged-in even when it is fully charged? I have heard that, we need to discharge battery completely at least once a month to improve the battery life. Is that right?
    Thanks

    Dear Farhad,
    there is definitely two schools of thought about this, the conventional one is use phone until almost dead then full charge, however recent articles in macworld that frequent charges do no more harm to these batteries. i think the best advice is to use your phone and then charge it when it needs charging. Most phone batteries ae fairly tired after a couple of years anyway, regardless of how to charge.

  • Airport Extreeme 5th generation, firmware 7.6.4 crashing several times a day (no interference)

    Call me unlucky, but I'm here just for solving AirPort Extreeme... issue. Here is my setup:
    - My IPhone mic stopped working recently, so I decide to use it as wireless survellance cam connected with Airport on 2.4Ghz
    - I also own Retina laptop mid 2012 (with ghosting screen connected to 27" Thunderbold with wierd spots on matrix which appeared 6 month after purchase) and laptop by the way connected on 5Ghz
    - I have some generic 3Tb usb drive connected to AirPort Extreeme...
    - And some generic laptop connected on 2.4Ghz which does pretty much nothing
    - (The only device I never had issue with is IPad 2 but it's not connected)
    So, an app on laptop takes a snapshot from camera every 15 seconds and it's 500kb tops, so it goes from IPhone to Extreeme... to Laptop and then from Laptop to Extreeme... connected harddrive. What happens is Extreeme... reboots several times a day and sometimes it hangs after reboot which makes me climb to manualy unplug from power... any suggestions?
    P.S. Support is my last bet choosing Apple products in a future, I never asked for it before this is the very first time, Im busy person, but hey for $6000 I spend on Apple products should I expect some quality, reasonable question isn't it?
    Thanks,
    Max.

    Unfortunately there are some products that have issues.. but you have had a really bad trot. I think if it was me I would be screaming my head off. Have you rung Apple and got some progress in getting these things looked at. The Thunderbolt display to begin with.. take it to the genius and let them check it.. I am not sure if the phone is out of warranty but apple can be generous at times.. especially if you have $6000 of faulty products.
    For your particular problem with the Extreme, I would simply downgrade to 7.6.1 firmware.. the latest firmware does not always work the greatest. And do a factory reset after that. Setup again with all names, short, 2-20 characters, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. I would also lock down as much of the stuff that is on auto as possible. So use a different name for 5ghz.. lock the channels manually. You can try several, 11, 6, 1 at least for 2.4ghz.. and around 40 and around 150 for 5ghz.
    Sometimes locking the mode to slower speed, just to see if that helps is worth it.
