TM works perfectly until I turn computer off

I've been using TM since release and it's worked perfectly so long as I don't turn either the hard drive or computer off. If I do, upon restart TM seems to forget that it has already been backed up for days. It goes into endless "preparing" status eventually telling me that the backup failed due to lack of room (as if it's trying to do a full backup instead of just backing up the minor changes I made since the last time it ran). I've had this happen twice now. The first time it happened I used disk utility to partition/erase the drive (as per Apple's specs) and everything was fine for a few days until I turned the computer off. Then on restart it did the same thing again. Any suggestions? I have about 60GB of data on my computer- backing up to a 120GB Hard drive. There is nothing else on the drive except the TM backup and at the time of the last backup (prior to turning off the computer) there was more than 45GB of free space.

Have you tried walking it into the nearest Apple Store and asking for assistance there...?
I'm guessing you don't have Apple Care on it.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night.

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night. I have been having video calls iChat with my granddaughter for 4 weeks. All of a sudden last night I wasn't able to complete the video/audio. We were able to iChat with writing. The message I got was to go to connection doctor.
The error log -
2011-04-24 19:33:43 -0400: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
Audio channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Video channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Every time we tried to connect I got the same error message.
I use an airport extreme - my granddaughter has some kind of wifi - but the error was on my side not hers as she connected to her friends.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi - I have a cable modem from comcast.
I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
Do you have four tabs (You may have less) I HAVE 4 TABS
In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ? AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP" WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES. BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
"Share a Public IP" ?
Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW. I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)
THE 2ND TAB IS TCP/IP AND THERE IT LISTS CONFIGURE IPv4: USING DHCP
IP ADDRESS: 69.138.244.124
SUBNET MASK 255.255.248.0
ROUTER ADDRESS 69.138.240.1
DNS SERVER 68.87.73.246 AND 68.87.71.230 (THESE ARE FILLED IN THE BOXES AND NOT CHANGEABLE.
THE 3RD TAB IS DHCP
DHCP BEGINNING ADDRESS 10.0 .1 .2
DHCP ENDING ADDRESS 10.0.1.200
DHCP LEASE IS 1 THEN DAY
4TH TAB NAT
CHECKED IS ENABLE NAT PORT MAPPING PROTOCOL
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS AIRPORT EXTREME FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
THE ONLY DIFFERENT ISSUE IS THAT I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND USED MY DAUGHTER'S AIRPORT EXTREME LAST WEEK. I HAVE NO IDEA ANY OF THAT INFO - BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE AIRPORT EXTREME LISTED IN THE UTILITY IS THE ONE AT MY HOME THAT I AM WITH NOW.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO HELP ME. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info on how it connects to the Modem.
It may list that Puiblic IP.
It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
Does it start 192.168....
Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
Or possibly another 10.... number ?
If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can effect things
One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store. The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI. He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
The "solution" was bizarre. On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting. It worked! I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange. Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem. i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon. The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement. Perhaps something similar is happening here.
For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored. It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face. I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.

I have a 2007 iMac connected via WiFi. It has been working fine until I turned it on after a recent vacation. Network Preferences indicates that it is correctly connected to my WiFI system but the data input and output rate is virtually zero. I know that the WiFI signal is reaching the iMac since both my iPhone and iPad are working perfectly at that location. I have rebooted the router and the iMac to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Geoff

Did the trick! Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!! I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen. This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store. Many thanks.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

After clicking "yes" to the question "do you want to update itunes now", i waited 2 hours and 15 minutes and it was still "loading". i turned computer off thinking something was wrong. now itunes won't open at all. do i need to download itunes again?

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

WRT160N. Wireless works great until I turn on my wired desktop.

WRT160n v1 firmware 1.02.2
Only have printer and laptop connected wireless.
Wired connection works good.
Wireless connections works good until I turn on my desktop ( wired)
If wireless does work with desktop on (big if) very slow page loading.

Well try resetting the router for 30 seconds in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cable from the modem & from the router & then plug the power cable to the modem first & once all the lights are solid green you could plug the power cable to the router & you will be able to go online wirelessly.

DO NOT DISTURB was in effect. I couldn't get wi-fi connection until I turned DND off. Is that a bug or to be expected?

I just started using DO NOT DISTURB at night but needed to send out an email. Was surprised that wi-fi had shut off. Couldn't re-connect until I turned DND off. Then wi-fi connected immediately. I hope this was just a temporary glitch.

Resolution
If you encounter this issue, try the following steps and attempt to enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth after each one.
Verify that Airplane Mode is turned off.
Update your iOS device to the latest version of iOS.
Reset Network Settings. To do this, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Restore your iOS device in iTunes.
If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on or off after attempting these steps, contact Apple or your wireless carrier for additional assistance.
