Powers on and off every 8 seconds or so by itself

My phone shows the apple, then turns off every 8 seconds. I can turn it off, but it turns on and off until I turn it off again. Tried resetting. Any other ideas?

Hi Arnie1, That is crazy about your HD box. You mentioned that you received another HD box and it is happening to that one as well but not to the SD box you tried. Hmmm have you tried your other HD box that is working fine where this is happening? Also what is the make of your TV. There have been some issues in the past with Samsung and the HD box with HDMI. If anything I can get a Tech out there and work on getting the issue resolved. But I would really like to see if the HD box you have in one of your other rooms acts the same way where this is happening. If you can try that and let me know then we can proceed from there.

HT3205 Green light flashing on and off every second

What is indicated by the green light on the charger going off and on every second?

Usually it is a charger or battery issue.
Try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT396
Use the method which applies to your Mac, a battery you should remove (most likely)
You can also check the battery status by clicking on the Apple logo and About This Mac, More info or system profile (depending on which oSX you are using as it is not in your profile) Power in the left side bar and check battery health and other stats.

Digital (optical) audio jerks on and off every second or so

Sudenly got this annoying problem, when sound on optical audio cuts off and on again repeatedly every second or so. As if there was a wire with bad connection. The optical cable is fine thou, i checked with my other macbook.
So that must be a problem with my main macbook. I restarted it in hope that its just a software glirch, but the problem remains.
Sound from MBs speakers ir fine.
What to do?

Now there is no sound at all. When i connect optical toslink there is no sound. When i connect usual 3.5mm jack to analog system, it sounds ok.
I can see the red light, but there is no sound. What could it be? Software or hardware problem?

Can anyone help me get my Apple TV display to stop blinking on and off every second?

Hi,
My Apple TV is a little under a year old its not version 1 I'm pretty sure it's 2... When I started it up the other night it came on but the display in the screen was blinking on and off about one a second non stop. The white light on the Apple TV is solid white. I was behind an update so I updated it using restore and when it came back on the display is still blinking on and off. When I restart it, the initial apple logo comes on solid which gave me hope but once it transitions to the initial menu screen it starts blinking again. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks for your time,
Dadguy

Hi again,
A couple more things I should add. Everything else plugged into the plasma screen works fine, Xbox, satellite, wii etc...and I did change hdmi cables with the Xbox and the Xbox still worked fine and the Apple TV continues to blink on and off on screen.
Thanks,
Dadguy

EA4500 Internet Port Cycles On and Off Every Few Second

I bought a EA4500 to replace my old WRT54G earlier this year. At first the router worked fine. After the automatic firmware upgrade to Cisco Connect Cloud, I was never able to get the Connect Cloud stuff to work, constant 500 Internal Server errors when trying to access the router with the Internet cable attached. So I downgraded back to the old firmware and all was well again. Then I started having problems a few months ago, when I would wake up in the morning, the router would be cycling the Internet port on and off. I could usually reboot everything and it would work the rest of the day. I lived with it like this a while, and support couldn't seem to find anything wrong. Eventually it started getting worse, until the point I could hardly ever get it to stay connected. I got Cisco to RA the old router and I figured problem solved. Now while the EA4500 was gone, I used my WRT54G again, and everything worked fine for nearly two weeks while I was waiting on the replacement EA4500.
So today the new EA4500 showed up, I connected and configured it, and it worked for a short time. Then suddenly I lost Internet, looked up at the modem and the LAN light was going on and off every few seconds. So I'm back in the same boat as before.
I've tried changing cables, same setup works fine with the WRT54G. Modem works fine with WRT54G and connected directly to the computer, zero problems. I tried lowering the MTU, turning on MAC address cloning, and various other things.
My modem is a HughesNet HN9000.
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly apprecaited.
David

OK, the setup as is works fine with the WRT54G, just the EA4500 has the issue. It started working again last night, and was working this morning. It continued to work until about 3:15 PM today, and out of the blue, my computer came up and said the Ethernet connection went off, then it came back on, it did this several times...at the same time, I looked up at the modem, and the LAN light was going on and off on it also. So the router was cycling both the Internet and Port 1 on and off.
My HN9000 has a static public IP, and the IP it's DHCP server gives out is one digit different than it's own IP.
My router is set this way, and this is what it gets if I switch the Internet to Automatic (DHCP):
IPv4 Address: 97.xxx.xxx.194
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
Default Gateway: 97.xxx.xxx.193
Then there are two DNS server addresses. I've tried the router setup as Static IP or Automatic (DHCP) and the problem occurs either way.
The HN9000 seems to pass all incoming traffic straight to the router.
One the LAN side, the router is configured to give out IP's in the 192.168.1.x range, and I have some static leases set. The router is 192.168.1.1.
Everything works with the computer connected directly to the modem, and with the WRT54G in place of the EA4500.
As far as calling Hughes, they won't support the router. If it works without the router, and with another router, they will say it's a problem with the router, which I think it is, just not sure what. Also, just to be clear, I do loose Internet access on my computer when the router acts up, but the HughesNet modem remains connected to the Internet.

[59-429213] LTE Modem keeps swithcing on and off every 30seconds

I recently bought Lenovo Yoga 2 with Windows 8.1. Everything works great except lte modem. It keeps switching on and off every time I am using the internet connection. When tablet is resting, then modem is working, but when I'm trying to do something, browse the web for example, it starts to freak out. Modem disappears from Device Manager for couple of seconds and keeps on popping on again after 3-5 seconds. Then it tries to connect to the provider, then I've got the internet connection for about 30 seconds and the same thing all over again. Modem disappears from device manager, opening on again after 5 seconds and tries to reconnect (with success) with the provider and so on, and off, and on, and off. It is very frustrating and I tried to find some solution but unfortunately without success. Maybe you guys will have any idea what is going on. Thanks in advance.

You have to update the EM7345 firmware. What version do you have now ?

Older 20-inch Cinema Display powering on and off repeatedly

I recently inherited an older (clear) 20-inch Cinema Display that I'm trying to use with my G5 dual 2.3 running 10.4.8. After purchasing the expensive DVI to ADC adapter and hooking it up, everything worked fine for about maybe 20 minutes or so until the display started to cycle on and off every two or three seconds (off for a couple seconds, then on for a couple seconds, repeat endlessly). This is accompanied by the power button glowing on and then off so it seems as if the power is cycling on and off by itself.
Any ideas? At first I suspected the ADC/DVI adapter which got really hot when in use, but letting it cool down had no effect on the monitor's behavior. My clunky old 19" CRT display works with no problems, so it's not the video card. The Cinema Display is my old monitor from work, and never had any performance issues, although it's been in storage for almost a year.
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Same thing is happening to me. I have the 20" Cinema Display (clear with ADC).
Last night I was in another room and all of a sudden I heard my G4 (Digital Audio) restart. I thought I was hearing things. Then about 3 minutes later I heard it again. I thought my daughter was up working on the computer or something. So I went up and there was no one around, but the computer kept restarting every 1 or two minutes. It was very strange – sometimes it it would go to sleep in the middle of the boot process.
I was able to stop this process eventually by disabling the display power button in the Energy Saver and Displays prefs panels. But I would like this feature to be functional since it makes my setup easier to use for my kids.

Iphone keeps switching on and off every 5 mins and on automaticly.

phone keeps switching on and off every 5 mins automaticly. I don't know what to do. I just did Hard Reset and it still switches off every 5 min. Please help !

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, explained in this article:

You might have to use recovery mode to do so, if it is not recognized in iTunes:

Droid Razr - powers on and off repeatedly - no service - no nothing

I recently had a power button issue on a 3 year old razr (no problems for the entire duration)... Worked great, no complaints... till two weeks ago... Anyway, Verizon sent me a replacement "like new" phone due to extended warranty concerns. Received it late last week used it one day no issues. Downloaded some of my old apps (that were on my old razr) and worked fine for one more day. Now for the past two days, the phone has been powering on/off on its own and doesn't receive any texts, no access to email, internet -constantly says no service. Went for a long ride today to areas where I have previously had service - thinking the thing was trying to do some updates - and the device powered on and off so much the battery completely died. I am so frustrated I want to be done with this. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing with your Razr Cornell75. I would be frustrated if my phone was doing these random things. It could be some of the apps you recently downloaded are causing phone to have problems, power cycle, and drain battery. Please try placing in Safe Mode for a few hours, or a day, to see if anything changes. http://bit.ly/PTPbLS
If you notice an improvement, I would suggest removing some apps, if not all, then re-installing a few at a time, (days in between). If you notice pattern starting again, it'll be easier to determine which app it could be, and remove it. However, if problem continues, it may be the device and we'd have to do more troubleshooting, possibly even do another replacement.
Please keep us posted and let us know if improves with Safe Mode/ removing apps.
Thank you,

Every video or podcast stops and starts every second

Any help would be appreiciated, using Chrome, Windows XP Pro with SP3, Pentium 4 2.4GHz, with 2GB Ram, with Nvidia Gforce 5200 video card! Too old a system??

hi, all three are pretty much the same, and its not a buffering issue. I hav Verizon Fios and had a WUGNET speed test show download speed being 11.3 Mbps and upload of 1.24. It was possible the Html was slightly better but not by much.

That should be fine for system specs. My first guess would be network bandwidth issues. Does it seem like the video/audio buffers fast enough or does the buffer continue to run out when the item is played? Try these two links out, do either of them play better?

Dell 3400mp powers on and off....

Projector turns off after 15 or so seconds of startup. The projector lamp turns on and the dell logo displays for 15 or so seconds and roughly 1 second before it turns off, it projects a dialog box. It will shut off much faster if I press the menu button after startup. It will display the menu for like 1/2 to 1 second before it displays some kind of dialog box that says something about power and fans running for 90 seconds. It's hard to make out because it turns off so quickly after the box appears. This seems to be the default message that it's powering down and the fans will continue for 90 seconds to cool off the bulb. I removed the lamp and put it back in trying to see if the lamp hours might be the problem and reset the timer, which did not help the problem. The fans continue to run for aprox a 90 sec after shutdown. After the 90 sec cool down, the projector begins to startup again. The dell logo displays for 15 seconds and the process starts over. Any help would be great!

It was the ground pin on the power cord. I was using a cheater and the projector goes through a startup check... Once it got to the power portion of the check it would fault and error out.

Computer on and off every other day

is it bad? i really don't know. i've been doing this logic 7 hour sessions every other day by myself for 2 years... almost flawlessley. A true gift to have this time!!!It's unbelievable how much you guys have helped me here. I've been rec./ digitally for 10 years now...am I screwing up by powering down (everything)Monitors, Preamps, external drives..mixers. I always do this.

At the rate of which Electrical component are made today, there shouldn't be arm in leaving stuff on,
where as its made from a reputable manufacture, and as a signature or seal of approval.
Power-ing down stuff will result in less consumption of Electricity, and will maintain a better system in-terms of abuse when left unattended.
E.g. if there is a power failure back and forth, which may blow your system, if its not plug into a power-serge, that will protect it from these element of surprise.
Another e.g. if your using a projector, and its left on, when not in use, then the life-span of the bulb, will be shorten because the life on these bulbs is for a certain amount of hours.
So in this case leaving it off will result in a better life-span,
also plasma screen is like that as well, other than that, it should be fine.
If you're not bordered about paying the excess on electric rates,
even though have it on and off, then on again could result in you paying more, than if it was to be left on in the first place.
Stuff such as monitor is always left on even if the computer is off, in most set-up.
Power amps/Mic/pre nice to leave of when not in use they eat that energy, believe.

IPod charger is broken, it goes on and off every time it moves, what's wrong?

My iPod charger is broken. My IPod 5 is fine, but the lightning cable may seem to be bent or just broken, it could be the wires but I'm not so sure.
Every time it moves back and forth the charging goes on and off, I'm not so sure what is happening

You should try another USB cable or get it serviced by Apple if a new cable does not work either.
