When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.

When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.
When pinging my iphone directly at 172.20.10.1, while I'm surfing and it times out, the ping shows nothing but "request timed out" .. Sometimes it "comes back" and sometimes I have to reboot my phone or disconnect the USB.. It's always done this and only on USB, it's very frustrating.
I have packet sniffed also, using Wireshark. When the "timeouts" happen, there's no more data coming from the Iphone. My PC continually sends ARP requests as well and don't get responses.
Have searched google endlessly and have gotten no where. This has been going on for several months and I'm just getting a bit fed up now.

I guess if it were me I'd try hotter/longer, then never allow it to Sleep except for the Monitor, & set Processor to Highest Energy Saver>Options tab.

My iPhone 5 will not turn on. And when it does, it will only stay on for a short while and then it dies again.

Hi lammyrock,
I want to let you know to be patient as this troubleshooting can take some time depending on many different. First try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. To do that, you can that by making sure that your iPhone is turned off, hold the Home button down while it is plugged into iTunes. You should get the graphic on your iPhone to plug it into iTunes and iTunes should prompt you to restore it. Once that is done and if you have a back up in iTunes or in iCloud, then you can put that back on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information to help you.

Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

Firefox is crashing when I attempt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firefox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
(A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

When I plug my shuffle in, it blinks yellow several times and then goes out. It wont charge

When I plug my shuffle in, it will blink yellow several times and then go out. It wont charge. I do not see this as a "warning" light in the PDF handbook. Any suggestions?

Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

I have an iPhone 4S and a 2012 Honda CRV . The streaming BT music is fine but now suddenly it stopped displaying song info on the screen. It worked for about 10 days and then stopped. Any thoughts?

I think that we all know the answer to this one.
Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
The alternative is to Purchase a new device.

I cannot open hyperlinks in outlook using Firefox. It might work for a few moments and then it doesn't.Sometimes it works when I exit and reopen Outlook. Help!

When clicking on a hyperlink in an email, nothing happens. Sometimes when I exit outlook and then reopen it, I might be able to open a hyperlink a couple of times and then it happens all over again!

You can check for problems with DDE.

any solution ?

X200 using iPhone personal hotspot failure

I've got a friend with an X200. He is trying to use his iPhone 4s as a personal hotspot. The phone is set up correctly because we can connect to it using my laptop (not an X200). My laptop connects using WPA2/AES.
When we try connecting using Access Connections, the association fails. I tried all four modes WPA/TKIP WPA/AES WPA2/TKIP WPA2/AES. All failed. When I click on the help me fix this button and get the report here's the error and recommended actions:
Connection status:       Disconnected
Cause:       Association Failed
Error code:       011
Recommended actions:
Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.
Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network.
As I said, we tried all the encryption settings and checked the key several times. The phone is using channel 2.
This is the Adapter info:
Adapter Details
Adapter name       Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Adapter type       Wireless LAN
Adapter speed       150.0 Mbps
Driver/Firmware version       12.2.1.2/ N/A
Adapter status       Enabled
Connection Status       Disconnected
Disable unused cards?       No
The first fix I tried was to update the BIOS and Access Connections (5.85). Still wouldn't work and gave the same errors.
Any suggestions as to what to try next?
Thanks
Solved!

Cannot Browse when Connected to iPhone Personal Hotspot

Hi there
I don't know for certain that the two events are linked but since I updated Lion on my 11" MBA to 10.7.2 and my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I cannot browse the web on my MBA using the iPhone as a personal hotspot (cellular data).
I am connecting to my iPhone's network via Bluetooth. The network provider is O2 and I have a contract which permits tethering.
The Bluetooth network connection appears to complete successfully (see below) but when I try to browse the web, nothing loads.
FWIW, Chrome eventually returns a DNS lookup failure (see below). Safari just hangs whilst trying to load the requested page - I haven't waited for it to time out (assuming it does).
I have no such problems browsing the web (or downloading emails) on my iPad (1st gen; also running iOS 5) when it is tethered to my iPhone in the same way, the MBA/iPhone connection worked before the updates and browsing is fine when the MBA connected to the 'net via wi-fi.
Any ideas as to how I can resolve this?
John

I have an update to this problem.
If I first connect to the iPhone's network using my iPad then subsequently connect my MBA to the network (I did this whilst the iPad was still connected to the iPhone), browsing works!
If I then disconnect both devices and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to square one - browsing doesn't work.
I have now posted this question in the Lion community too as I'm starting to think that this is more of a software issue.

Use iPhone personal hotspot to connect my iPad with my laptop

I am living in school residence so I don't have a wireless connection, nor am I allowed to use a router on the school internet.
I have an iPhone with data plan and personal hotspot. I want to watch movies on my iPad, streaming from my laptop, using some apps like VLC Streamer.
So my questions are, can I set up a network using my iPhone, and have both my laptop and iPad connect to my personal hotspot? Will that allow me to use VLC Streamer? And will my mobile carrier charge me for the data between my laptop and iPad, which should be considered a local connection?
Thanks a million!

Please help me!!!

Bought used iphone 4 at xmas all fine until update for ios 6.1 came up and i hit install. Now all i get is flashing logo. know nothing bout tech...im old.lol tried hookin up to computer and it went to dfu mode but then flashing logo happening again. Dont know if phone is jailbroken? has cydia store on it. How can i get reset or get it to work again?? Help!!

Apple will not touch a jailbroken device.
You can try restoring as new, but it is not always possible to restore a jailbroken device to a pristine state.
If possible, return the device to the person or store that it was purchased for refund.

When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

Im not very good at troubleshooting, but I have played around with the system preferences. My airport connection is fine as well as the ethernet. Firewall says its not connected, (im not sure if that matters or not?)
I have subtracted my network from the list, restarted, and then put it back and and restarted...nothing seems to be working. Iam in the middle of a correspondace course and i really need my internet back...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then GULP, check for this...
Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

Brand new apple tv not working. when i turn it on, the apple symbol shows up for a few seconds and then signal is lost but power on the apple tv stays on. i've reset and unplugged several times but same thing happens.

i hooked it up with hdmi cable - doubled checked all connections - connected power cord - set tv to HDMI input - the apple tv comes on and the apple logo shows up - after about 2 seconds signal is lost from the apple tv - the tv screen displays "no signal" - the power light on the apple tv remains on - i've reset and restarted but the same thing keeps happen - the logo shows up then disappears and all signal is lost to the tv

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?
