Recently my computer stops recognizing anything Bluetooth or USB related (wireless or plugged in) after a few minutes of computer use.
Recently my computer stops recognizing anything Bluetooth or USB related (wireless or plugged in, mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) after a few minutes of use. I don't know if it's related, but recently I upgraded my iMac g5 (2005) from OSX 10.4 to Leopard 10.5 (I was told though, that my computer can handle the upgrade by Apple personelle). Also, I had the model that was released with a faulty power supply, but Apple fixed that problem for me a couple of years ago. My fan is also pretty loud (but has been for some time) and my computer takes longer to boot that it used to (this is a recent issue). I mention all of this in case there's a chance it's connected to the same problem. Any suggestions?

Why did my Windows 8 computer stop recognizing my ICD-PX820 to upload files?
I have been using my Sony ICD-PX820 recorder with my Lenovo Idea Pad, which I purchased a year ago running Windows 8 (which has since updated to Windows 8.1) I have been able to plug my recorder into this computer, using this OS, to upload audio files for more than a year...until it suddenly stopped recognizing it today. When I plug it in, the battery icon disappears from the recorder's screen, so I assume the battery is charging (therefore it IS connected) but the device does not show up under My Computer (or pop up as a folder like it always did before.)
Nothing changed - there were no new updates on my computer, no settings changed on either device, it just stopped working.
Sony Customer Service was no help - they sent me a link to a page suggesting I unplug everything, restart my computer and just plug in the recorder, which I did before I contacted them. I tried updating my drivers, but the product page says there are no drivers available to download for this OS (Windows 8.1) - even though I have been using this device with this OS for a while!
Help! I have an audio file on my recorder I need to email to a colleague overseas, and I need to record more interviews tomorrow so this is urgent!Hi bronicba,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
Thank you for your message. I suggest you try plugging the recorder into a different computer if possible, try a different USB cable, and try plugging the recorder to different ports on the computer. There is a possibility that the pin that is responsible for charging the unit is still working and that the pins for getting the device detected might have gotten defective. So I suggest you try connecting it to a different pc.
Thanks and regards, -

My computer stopped recognizing my 6th gen nano. I have un then reinstalled itunes as I was prompted. Still nothing. My account is up to date and my last purchase was a few weeks ago. Apple wants me to purchase @ 29.99 an opportunity to speak to a tech. Hoping someone out there can offer some assistance. Thanks.
Hi jim2744,

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3." -
CS4 OpenGL stops working after a few minutes of painting
Hi,
CS4 OpenGL stops working after a few minutes of painting. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount I paint. If I save the file, then reopen I can paint for another few minutes before the opengl stops working. Is this a standard problem with CS4? Is there a solution? Thanks! PJ

I am having the EXACT same issue, PLUS my Wacon PTZ-430 only works for a fewminutes then, when the Open GL craps out, so does it... but only certain aspects. The cursor still moves, it just will not paint. Mouse will (direct via USB) but the tablet won't. If I delete CS4 prefs, then the Wacom works fine... for a while. Latest Wacom drivers and bee on the phone w them. All is fine under CS3.

Make sure Sync Apps is checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and that all the apps are checked that you want on your phone. Also be sure that your computer is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase your apps (and other media) in Store>Authorize this Computer.

Touch screen L2105 always stops working after a few minutes
I have windows 8.1 and the touch screen always stops working after a few minutes- ie. the touch operation via USB, the screen itself is OK.Have tried windows switching power saving off, but no help
charseppHello charsepp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the touchscreen stops working after a short period on your HP L2105 Monitor. The first thing you are going to need to do is determine if this is a monitor or PC issue. To do this you should try connecting the monitor to another computer and see if the issue persists.
If the issue does not persist it is the computer, and if your computer is also HP I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running? Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
If the issue persists when you try the monitor on another computer then the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

When playing music from Ipod in my car, music suddenly stops and message appears to restore in iTunes. After a few minutes, it starts to play again. I hear a click and the apple logo shows on the screen. Any ideas??
You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing. It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable. -
Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.
It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

I just opened up my MacBook Pro after a few days of not using it and it was frozen. I turned it off and back on and all I see is a white screen, there was a file with a question mark flashing for a bit but I can't do anything, please help me!!
Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen. -
I have a MacBookPro and just downloaded the new Firefox 4.0.1. When I use my laptop wireless the computer shuts down after a few minutes. What can I do?

New update ios 7.1.1 causes podcasts to stop after a few minutes
After the update to ios 7.1.1 on my Iphone 5 my podcasts stop after a few minutes. Then I hit the play button again and the podcast again plays for a few minutes and it stops again. Etc. Etc.
Hi Quasarseggventures,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that the Podcasts application is unexpectedly quitting when playing different podcasts. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps that could resolve this for you. I would suggest using the multitasking menu to close Podcasts and open fresh. If you have already done this or the issue continues afterwards, I suggest restarting your iPhone and possibly deleting the app and downloading it fresh. All of the steps you need are outlined in the following article.
