My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

I have a 10.5.8 Macbook, Leopard & almost exclusively use Safari. Got it in November of 2008. (Trackpad Clicker has not worked for ages. I have to use a mouse.)
Also, just recently, when using the keyboard to type, I may lose most if not all that I just typed, sometimes it doesn't space or move down more than to next line & often when I hit a symbol key, the cursor may end up anywhere.
For ages it has been doing what is stated in Subject/Question.
I can use it for a while, frequently clear Safari Cache. (Can't seem to clear Home->Library->Cache anymore. Much in there, but I fear that with the problems that I have had with this Mac since the first year that I will remove something that is necessary & really shouldn't be in that Cache. I did do it a few times way back, but it won't even let me move things to trash anymore.
I know that I need a new Macbook, but I can't afford one & really need larger than a 13" screen, as I have 3 different eye problems. My friend got a deal on a "bells & whistles" Toshiba 17" laptop during "Black Friday" for something over $400. Something comparable in a Macbook would be ~$2,800-2,900 plus tax!!! Ridiculous. I got a Mac to not have to deal with viruses & the like & to have one like my musician friend who needed direction with a computer & wanted a Macbook because of the "Garage Band". I bought mine ~3months after he bought his & wouldn't you know, mine is a Leopard & his a Tiger AND they had upgraded "Garage Band" on mine... so, nothing in common.
I have had nothing but trouble with my macbook since 1 year after I got it. As I was trashing what should have been "unsaved" & "saved" downloads, I happened to have my iPhoto open & near the end, I walked by to see all of my photos & documents disappearing to trash. Nothing has been the same since. The "Genius" was rude & no one could tell me what went wrong or fix my problem. I had over 8,000 items that were no longer in folders or albums or anything. All that was done was to move them from my trash to desktop to ONE folder for which I was left to deal. (Possibly go back to that time in my Time Machine??? But don't really know how to "pick out" all that was good, leave out the "mess" & still have all the new that I have done in the past 2.5 years??)
I had paid for 1 year of classes AND for the 3 year coverage & APPLE CARE. I was on the phone with those guys for hours & hours & months on end to NO avail. I am not a "happy camper". I think that they owe me a new one, even after all this time. My intent was to write them a very long detailed letter, but lightening has struck my house & fried all my components EXCEPT this "P.O.S", which would have been paid for by the Insurance company... Argh. And then my freezer went out & the new one was "DOA" & I have been fighting them & my dog has been lame for a year now, & I am a non-practicing vet, because of debilitating Depression. It has been over 10 months & my roof & chimney are still not repaired. I know... "TMI", but I guess I am venting to let you know why I haven't addressed Apple about my "P.O.S" macbook.
Any help wrt new WARNING message,(previous question), Safari winding down every time after some use, why my keyboard is going nutso & what to do about all the 1000's of files that are in my Macbook, (I thought that we moved most of them to an external HD, My Book. I have one for the Time Machine back up & one for "Storage". But, alas, it seems that most are still in my macbook & there is very little memory & that may well be a big part of my problem.)
Thanks for bearing with this "newbie on here".
I realize now, that this probably should have been at least 3 questions or more, sorry. If I have to redo, I will.
Just wrote a separate one regarding the "WARNING-SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE, every time I click on a new website on Safari.
Thanks to any & all. (Forgive me, if I don't know all the ettiquette & rules of this site. (Be kind & guide me.)Hello & welcome, let's see if we can help out here!

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
Hello everyone, like most people on this site, I am having difficulties understanding and fixing my Macbook Pro. About a month ago my computer screen went black, the computer was unresponsive, and it started making a beeping noise. I restarted the computer, and it seemed to have fixed itself. 6 days ago, I put my laptop into it's case with some papers, went home (about 30 min. after putting laptop into case), and opened my bag. My computer's fans were on, the computer was really hot, and when I opened the computer, the screen was black and unresponsive. I turned it off, let it cool down, turned it back on, started to stream a video on Hulu, and about ten minutes after, the screen went black again and the computer was unresponsive. Now everytime I turn it on after about ten to fifteen minutes the screen will go black, the computer will become unresponsive, and I have to shut it off. The weird thing though is that everytime I restart my computer, when I reopen my account, my computer acts as if nothing has happened, and everything I had opened or unsaved is still there without autosave saving the documents.The screen also goes black and the computer becomes unresposive when I move the computer around. I get a lot of pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet. I don't know if one of those pop-up websites might have given me a virus or may be the cause of this problem. I don't now what is wrong with my computer or how to fix it, but if anyone has any advice, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
-- Sincerely, A very confused, scared, and hopless Macbok OwnerTo get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

My Macbook Pro cannot sustain Safari for more than 5 minutes. Once I hit return the "working" icon just keeps going round and round. The only way to access the internet or my email is to totally shut down and then restart.
Is there something I can check to see if there is a virus or is this a common problem. I just returned from a trip to the states and had no problem using my laptop there. I have had no problems until about 6 hours ago.

My computer will work for a while and then it powers off.
I have a macbook pro. Just today I have had problems with it all of a sudden powering off and I have to restart it. When i do, it does it again. I have updated all of the updates but I have never had this problem and don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone else?

My trackball/mouse hangs! They work,then they don't. If I switch usb ports they work for a while.
I have a Pavilion a1657c using Windows XP. I use a Kensington trackball and lately it has been hanging up on me. I switched to a Logitech mouse and it did the same thing. Now, I have both plugged in and if I switch usb ports one of them will work for a short period of time and then hangs. If I switch usb ports again, one of them will work for a while....I never know which one is going to work..very sporadic and it is driving me nuts. I am semi-literate with computers, but no whiz. Somebody help me of this road to nutsville..?
Hello icnhndlu, This appears to be a USB common issue, since you mention the issue occurs on different USB ports and devices.
This may be a hardware fault, but you might try uninstalling all the USB devices in the Control Panel, Device Manager. Then reboot the system and see if the operating system will detect new hardware and install the drivers for the new hardware.
The drivers are provided by Microsoft within the operating system.
Not sure this will work, but may be worth a try.

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace -
I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?
What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
What firmware is the AE?
Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
I would do a couple of things..
1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

Airport Express that works for I while and then quits
I have an airport express that I connect with an Ethernet wire to my wifi network base station to be able to extend the wifi to other areas of the house. It used to work perfectly and I had the green light on it for days and days on, in fact it never quit it could be on for weeks.
Now it works for a while, an hour or so, and then the light goes out completely (no orange light, just no light) and there is no longer any wifi communication. Is the Airport broken or could it have something to do with the originating wifi provider base station which is in fact hardwired to the the Express?Now it works for a while, an hour or so, and then the light goes out completely (no orange light, just no light) and there is no longer any wifi communication.
Unfortunately, this is a sign that you are likely going to need to replace this Express.
Here is what I think is happening based on experience with these devices:
The internal components on the Express heat up significantly and after an hour or so, the heat build up is causing a weak electronic component to change in value, or heat expansion is causing a loss of an electrical connection at a tiny solder joint.
When the device cools down, it will work again for awhile, but the same pattern will likely repeat. Internal repairs on the Express are not really feasible since the labor costs will likely exceed the cost of a new Express.
If you are really handy with small electronic repairs and you have the time, you could carefully saw the case open along the center seam to open up the Express and take a look at connections and solder points. It 's unlikely that you will find something obvious, but might be worth a shot. -
while notes, reminders and calendar are working fine, keynote (beta) and pages (beta) are not responding, they are sticking. What should I do? I would appreciate help. Thank you.
Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try. -
i have iphone 4 and i used it for a one and half years.i used it in sri lanka and doha qatar also..,recently i update it i.o.s 7, then it was working.after i.o.s 7.0.3 came i again updeted it and now my phone network is not working.now phone is locked.pls help.
I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue. It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery? It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage). When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark. It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps. Thanks!
