Why do my midi instruments stop working after 1-2 minutes?

So I've been toying around with Garageband 11 on my MBP base 13 with upgraded memory. I am able to get a couple of midi instruments to connect and to sound and record through the program, however, I'm running into an issue with two controllers in particular. I'm using an older emedia midi controller with no available drivers online (that I've seen as of yet) and a set of PS3 usb Band Hero drums. As I stated I can get them both connected and they sound great with little to no latency. What's strang is that after two minutes of use, playing through with controller, the sound cuts out. It still registers there is a device connected, but with both things you can no longer hear the instrument or record anything. I'm stumped. I ran this referall to set up the drums and it looks as if I'm not the only one struggling, but I've yet to receive any feedback! http://themartiansarecoming.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/turning-ps3-guitar-hero-wor ld-tour-drum-kit-ghwt-into-midi-input-device-for-garageband-11/
Anywho I thought some folks on here might have been through this or just have a wide enough understanding of the whole system as to what might be causing this issue. My hopes are it's a plugin issue or something simple I can download, but theres a chance it's just compatibility. The usb mic that I have from the band hero kit works great and I've yet to have it stop working, but this is running through a different setup switching from built in mic to the usb. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated so don't hold back!
Thank you
Max

Yes I did that but nothing happened. I removed about 6 apps that use sounds or creates ringtones to no avail. The only thing that helps, and this temporary, is hitting the mute button and off and all the sounds for all phone basics-texts, ringers, alerts ce back up. No program seems to shut it down, just time and within 3 days it reverts back to no sounds for ringers, texts, etc. I don't see any problems with speaking sounds and game sounds, yet. I have a lifetime with pc's since 1978 with my radio shack trs80 and this one befuddles me. Something is telling me there is a problem with the operating system on iOS 6 because my hours of research has proven to assure me apple phones are losing their basic sound DLL's in some template, being c++ based largely, somebody I think has a pointer getting 'stuck' and when a hard reboot can't clear the issue, my experience tells me somebody let a template get out of hand and is a serious problem. I found hundreds of similar sound problems with myriads of solutions such as resynching with iTunes, updating iOS if it hadn't been already, turning a list off toggles on and off then rebooting. For me the mute/unmute has worked temporarily and sometimes it won't even work sometimes and I have to have the phone on vibrate and keep it on my person so as to feel the ring/alerts. Being a long time proficient programmer/basic networker/basic hardware user, I don't like duct tape solutions such as toggle a switch like Fonzi smacking the jukebox to get the music to play. I always wondered why Arnold(Asian or chubby Caucasian) never got his jukebox fixed. So anybody know a non-duct tape solution or seen am apple thread describing a permanent solution please let me know?!? Thanks, Jon

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

CS4 OpenGL stops working after a few minutes of painting

Hi,
CS4 OpenGL stops working after a few minutes of painting. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount I paint. If I save the file, then reopen I can paint for another few minutes before the opengl stops working. Is this a standard problem with CS4? Is there a solution? Thanks! PJ

The cursor still moves, it just will not paint. Mouse will (direct via USB) but the tablet won't. If I delete CS4 prefs, then the Wacom works fine... for a while. Latest Wacom drivers and bee on the phone w them. All is fine under CS3.

Touch screen L2105 always stops working after a few minutes

charsepp

Hello charsepp,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the touchscreen stops working after a short period on your HP L2105 Monitor. The first thing you are going to need to do is determine if this is a monitor or PC issue. To do this you should try connecting the monitor to another computer and see if the issue persists.
If the issue does not persist it is the computer, and if your computer is also HP I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running? Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
If the issue persists when you try the monitor on another computer then the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.

Iphone 4S sound issue - sound stops working after a few minutes

The sound on my iphone 4S stops working after a couple of minutes, including both the headphones and the loudspeaker. If I unplug the headphones and replug them in, the sound starts to work again, but only for a few minutes until it conks out again. How can I fix this problem?

Any problem when connected to another wi-fi network besides your own?
The only additonal troubleshooting options after powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and resetting network settings on the iPhone is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup and/or restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup - the same when connected to any wi-fi network besides your own as well as not being able to maintain internet access when connected to your carrier's cellular network, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

KM2M + WIN XP sound stops working after a few minutes

as in subject i have a KM2M COMBO-L (MS 6738) MoBo with athlon xp 2000+ and 128 MB spectek PC2100.
The problem is that the sound stops working after some minutes of use.
It's the same problem in all the 10 PCs of my webcafe

KM2M uses the Realtek ALC650 CODEC. Are you using the VIA Audio driver or Realtek? It should say under audio properties.
I recommend the Realtek drivers.
Of course, if you are already using the Realtek, then I recommend the VIA drivers.
Pretty insightful, eh?

Flash stops working after 10 - 15 minutes.

Hi Everyone,
I've been having some weird problems with my new laptop and flash. I am currently running Windows 7 Pro. 32-bit, IE 8, AVG antivirus (with resident shield disabled), Windows Defender. I start my computer and go into IE and everything seems to be working fine. Then, flash player appears to randomly stop working (whether I've been using it or not) after about 15 minutes.
The really weird part is that sites like youtube still work for about another hour, but ALL sites with small, generic flash video (e.g. failblog.org) just say "loading" and leave the video length at 0:00.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. I've gone back down from 32-bit, done a clean install of windows with only drivers, gone back to IE from Chrome and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Any help that anyone can provide would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
Finally resolution!
Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
click on edit in the organizer,
go to preferences,
click on media anaylsis,
uncheck all the boxes.
That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done! No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again.
Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
Cheers!

Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

IPod audio stops working after a few minutes of watching a video Mp4.

When watching full length movies on the iPod, my audio stops working at random. The only way to get it back is to stop the movie and advance it, then start it again.

What video conversion software did you use? And did
you install the latest IPOD updater?
I read more of the discussions and going back to the old version took care of the problem.
Thanks!

Upgraded to Windows 10: Wifi Stops Working after about 20 minutes operation

Upgraded to windows 10. Everything was working fine. Then WIFI stops working. I reboot and again, things are fine then as the computer goes to sleep, WiFi stops working and won't reconnect unless I reboot. All other computers in the house using either Windows 7 or 8.1 are connecting just fine. Need some help or I'll roll back to 8.1. This is frustrating to say the least.

I have a HP pavilion X2 (10-j000na) which I have upgraded to Windows 10 and I have the same issue. Every so often the wifi signal is lost. When I go to the device manager it says there is an error with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11 abgn Wireless SDIO adapter. The only way to resolve this issue at the moment is to uninstall the driver and then re-installing it using the latest Windows 8 driver (sp68594.exe) in compatability mode for Windows 8.
But even then it is only a matter of time before the driver corrupts again and needs re-installing. We need an updated driver for Windows 10 and fast!

Why do some videos from some website stop working after seconds or minutes on a new iPad

I subscribe to some website posting videos. The videos will start as it should and then stop after, sometimes seconds, and sometimes minutes after the beginning.
The iPad is less than 3 weeks old. it is already the second. The first was a 16 GB this one is a 32 GB. no difference. This issue does not happen with only one website but other posted videos from other websites.

This and other answers helped me to understand better why I cannot view these videos and search for answers. I found that the videos posted by this website end in .cfm, and doing research cfm is Adobe and is not compatible with apple software ? why this is not resolved is surprising to me - Several other people experience the same issue as I (dating 2007-to 2013) I am not computer literate but I know how to find information on the web and know +or - how to use the programs. There seems to be nothing that will convert these videos into a format that the iPad could process and allow. should I buy quicktime for my windows device and transfer/sync it to the ipad (?)(3 weeks old I paid $900) will this work. I have tried to upgrade the firmware to my router but no luck there either; even following all the steps religiously. the unzip is not working? I get a file the upgrade button rejects.
if it is this cfm format that is doing that, then there is no reason to spend x$ into a new router : the issue will remain the same- is this statement correct ?
your help is greatly appreciated.
