Time Capsule keeps locking up and has to be restarted several times a week.

I have had this Time Capsule for well over a year, but in the last few months it has started locking up and must be restarted for the WiFi to work. At first, it was only once or twice a month, but now it's locking up almost daily. Is this a software issue or hardware? Never had this problem with the Air Port.

How old and what model is the TC?
What OS on the computer??
Is the TC bridged or router mode??
There are major network issues since Lion .. made worse on ML.
I can only suggest a full factory reset of the TC..
Use all SMB names.. TC name, wireless names.. (different for 5ghz) and hard disk.
That means, short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels and use only wpa2 personal security.
This has helped some people but is not a sure fix.

    My iPad is locked up and has a apple and a bar under it on the screen and it will not turn on or off. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
    Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.

  • Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally

    Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
    It has only happened for the last month or so
    Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop button

    Who replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Aurora keeps locking up and constantly. 7, 8, up to 9.02. i mean it locks up over 20 times a nite. one after another.

    aurora keeps locking up
    i used it for 5 minutes then it locks up
    it must have locked up over 30 times tonight
    i updated everything
    scanned everything
    i also have started to use google chrome and that one doesnt lock up at all.
    firefox never locked up before i used aurora

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Time capsule is frequently crashing and has to be powered off and back on

    I have had my Time Capsule for several months with no problems. Last few weeks it is crashing several times per day and has to be powered off and back on. When this happens there is no light of any color. The reset button does not work and I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. I have the latest updates. A couple of times it wouldn't restart after I plugged it back in for 10-15 minutes. Any thoughts?

    At minimum power down your entire network starting with modem first. Then wait a few and power back on start with modem first.

  • HT1222 I am having issues with my iphone 4- it keeps locking up and giving me a black screen when i am trying to use it.  i took it to the at&t store where they told me i needed to update it.  I have the version 4.3.3 and i am unable to do anything else,h

    I have an iphone 4g and i am having problems with it locking up at times.  It will lock up and give me a blank screen.  When I took it to my local AT&T store they advised me to update it.  I am using the version 4.3.3 and I have tried to sync to Itunes, but have been unsuccessful.  I have not been able to update it at all.  When I plug in my phone to the computer, it will not sync at all.  Any suggestions?

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • IPhoto keeps locking up and will not allow merge of events

    iPhoto keeps locking up when I try to minimize events.
    It will not let me merge events either.

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

  • Firefox 4.0 keeps locking up and is slow to load pages

    I just installed 4.0 this morning. Ever since, Hotmail is extremely slow to load, it keeps locking up or not responding.
    I thought this was supposed to be faster and more streamlined?
    Now, when I try to go back and install 3.6.13 it is no longer available. What gives? I want my old Firefox back.
