What are most likely causes of internet keep dropp...

keeps dropping for 60 seconds every 10 mins, has always been fine, no new equipment being used. Is the most likely cause the ADSL filter? They ran a line check and checked exchange and all seemed ok. If its not ADSL filter what other reasons can there be for it to keep dropping? 

have you tried changing the filter.
normal reason is noise on the line   try quiet line test  dial 17070 option 2  should be quiet and best done with corded phone   if cordless then dull hum is normal
are you connected to test socket?  do you have other sockets apart from the master?
please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .

  • My 4th gen 32gb iPod touch recently crashed for more than 12 hours during which time it was completely unresponsive. This is not the first time it has crashed but by far the longest time it has been unresponsive. What are the likely causes of this?

    I don't regularly use any apps beyond Windows Live, Facebook, Skype etc. but app crashes are becoming frequent and this recent blackout was disturbing. What are the potential causes of this and how can I avoid them in the future?

    it's weird , your device is not jailbreraked and it crashes? my device is jailbreaked and i almost have the same problems.
    look, to avoid these problems:
    1- dont open too much apps , and if you do , close them by multitasking menu.
    2-try sometimes to turn off and on your device , its like refreshing ( called "respringing" in jailbreaked devices.
    if you have the same problem , see an apple specialist.
    plz mask as helphul question.
    thanks.

  • What are the main causes of slowdown (long term)?

    I've had my MacBook for about 3½ years now, and it's starting to slow down. (Hardware specs are in sig.)
    Yup, I know it's normal. It's happened with every computer I've owned, regardless of platform.
    *_WHAT I CURRENTLY DO ABOUT IT_*
    I routinely run Maintenance (http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/maintenance.html), a free app that—yep, you guessed it!—performs maintenance on your Mac. It uses a mix of maintenance scripts that are built-in to OS X (OS X runs them silently, but this allows them to be run on demand), and some of its own methods for cleaning a Mac to keep it running smoothly.
    I've found that Maintenance does help—I definitely recommend it!—but the older my MacBook has become, it seems the less Maintenance can do to mitigate the slowdown that comes with age.
    *_MY CURRENT BELIEF_*
    I don't think it's because the hardware is old by today's standards, because in my experience if you reformat any machine it will operate significantly faster, even after restoring all of the software that was removed by the format.
    I've become increasingly suspicious about the hard drive's free space's effect on a system's performance. I've always known that it has a noticeable effect—less swap space for virtual memory—but I'm beginning to wonder if the effect of a mostly-full hard drive is much more than I have previously imagined. Just a feeling.
    *_MY QUESTIONS_*
    *#1: What are the leading causes of slowdown (long term)?*
    *#2: What are the solutions to each of the above problems?*
    • acknowledging that there may not be a solution to every problem, and
    • some solutions may solve a problem “more completely” than others
    Edited for clarity by Tony R.

    • I was under the impression that Disk Utility's “Repair Disk” would fix all non-permissions-related errors (other than physical damage, obviously). If they can be fixed by a backup-reformat-restore, then I take it they are software (filesystem) based problems. If so, why can't software solve the problem without a reformat?
    Disk utility can and does repair permissions and basic disk errors. However it does not rebuild directory data.
    • How exactly do directory structure errors happen, and what other consequences do they have (if any)?
    The article on alsofts website should help
    What is directory damage?
    It is worth noting that in the future when Mac OS X support the ZFS disk format directory damage will be a thing of the past.
    however as you said
    Yep, I'm at 11.2% free disk space. Thanks for the info!
    I think this is your main issue. Try moving your itunes and movie to an external drive then see how your mac performs.
    Also a good way to reclaim some space is to delete all the language localisations you dont use. It is amazing that iWeb alone can install a few 100megs of foreign language templates that you will never use.
    I used to use Mike Bombich's delocalizer to do this but that app is not longer available so I use monolingual now.
    edit, as you have macbook you are lucky in that it is really straightforward to install a bigger internal hard drive.
    You can now get 5000GB 2.5 inch sata hard drives. You could take out the old drive hook that up to a usb to sata cable, install a bigger hard drive. then connnect the usb cable to your mac. Then boot from your Leopard Disk then use disk utility clone your old drive onto your new drive.

  • New WIN7 System, FFox gives error "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory" - will not go to any site.

    New Windows 7 computer. After installing Firefox, every time I bring it up I get the following message:
    "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
    Then Firefox comes up, but will not function at all - can enter url address, but will not respond to ANY clicks, so can not go to any site.

    In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    Open Finder and use one of these:
    * Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
    * Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
    You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.

  • My macbook is getting hot pretty quickly. What are the possible causes?  How can I tell if it is mechanical vs. dust?

    My Macbook Pro is getting hot pretty quickly. What are the possible causes?  I have had the machine about 3 years.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

    Hi,
    We have seen that. Thanks.
    Now, how could we add multiple tiems to ATG's shopping cart before redirecting the user to ATG's home?
    The scenario we see is:
    User navigates on a Marketing website, spots items he/she is interested in and add them to the LOCAL shopping cart (without leaving the current website), after adding many items he/she decides to buy these items buy clicking FINISH, at this moment we add the N items to ATG shopping cart (how??) and redirect the user to ATG's home.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks

  • HT3546 my airport will not power on, what are the possible causes?

    My Airport just shut off and it will not power on. I unplug it from the wall and pulg it back into the power outlet but it still won't power on. What are the possible causes. Is this system just died out, I have it for about 3 years.

    Causes....a failed electical power supply component or an internal connection that has come loose.
    It's a real longshot, but if you are handy with small tools, carefully saw open the case of the Express along the center seam to open up the case and look for something obvious.
    Your chances of success here are very very small, but if you have the time and inclination, it won't hurt to try.

  • Orphan Essbase processes - What are the possible causes

    We have to manually kill these processes or the cause problem with the logs and performance.
    What are the possible causes? Has anyone else experiences similar issues?
    Thanks

    We had a similiar problem on UNIX. It was due to a process clean up script that was running as part of scheduled server maintenance. For some reason it would kill the Essbase server process and leave us with the orphaned child processes.
    Once we figured that out the script was adjusted to ignore all Essbase processes.
    Your example - I may be reading it wrong but it does not appear to be orphaned.

  • What are most important preferences to set in LR 5

    Now that I have finally got LR5 loaded and my previous catalog imported with the great help of Briian and Victoria the question remains.....what preferences do I surely need to set?
    I could just look at my LR 4.4, but are there others that might apply to 5 that are particularly important?

    I'm not sure what all the defaults are at the moment, but check these:
    * Set: 'Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos' (If you shoot raw+jpeg, unless you want to have no access whatsoever to those jpegs in Lr).
    * Clear: 'Store presets with this catalog', unless you need different presets with different catalogs...
    * As Desired: 'Automatically write changes into XMP' - I prefer saving manually, but I recommend either saving manually or checking this box.
    The defaults are mostly well-chosen by Adobe so you don't generally need to worry about them until needs arise... But do look them over...
    Also, if you have an especially large or especially small monitor, you may need to bump or reduce the standard preview size (in catalog settings), respectively. It's not that critical, but it'll perform a little better if this setting is not too far off.
    And, if you keep private photos in with the rest, clear: 'Show photos in navigator on mouse-over', lest you embarrass yourself when showing photos to others.
    Cheers,
    Rob
