Why does browser keep refreshing every few seconds. I keep getting kicked of of sites that require log in because my browser refreshes and sends me back to log in page.

I use the same plug-ins i always have, with the exception of faster fox. I got the plug in off of c-net. The first thing I did was disable that plug in. I do remember at one point i used to have a plug in that allowed you to set the refresh intervals. I don't remember which is was though as I got rid of it a long time ago. I have checked every option I can think of to no avail..please help.

If you have an infected system, Firefox will get infected no matter how many times you reset it. Refer to a specialized forum to clear the malware from your system.

If you haven't disabled the malware and phishing protection features, and you have a good and up-to-date anti-virus, then visiting web sites shouldn't be an issue. Installing questionable software on the other hand allows malware to do anything on your system.

  • Streaming freezing while playing, unless I touch the screen every few seconds to keep the streaming actively flowing.

    Streaming from iPad, through an app and the streaming will stop unless I touch the screen which seems to wake it up and will begin from where it stopped. Can anyone tell me why it does this? Kind of makes watching something a little annoying. It's as if the iPad goes to sleep, which stops the streaming. Is there a way to keep the streaming going without having to touch the screen every few seconds to have a the streaming continue as a steady feed?
    Thanks,
    David H.

    If you are streaming through an app it may need it to be awake so it can receive the feed on the iPad and then airplay it, depending on how  the app functions. You can set the auto lock to never

  • Address Book: Refreshing Every Few Seconds. . .

    ... I have a address book count of 1,132 cards,whenever am attempting to use these contacts; Address Book keeps refreshing like every 30-sec or so... greatly slowing down my work flow; often having to wait for it to catch up ........ help!!!
    smiles..
    Anthony

    ... not doing anything unusual, Sharing is (???) and Contacts are all local: first notice this occurrence when simply editing / adding new contacts to the address book; in the middle of editing each card, it just (what appears to be) refreshes each card, by card, by card; all 1000+ of them ... it also does this during any kind of interaction with Address book, ie: adding / deleting / viewing / searching ... doesn’t matter what you are doing; if interacting with address book, it stops responding (losing command of the app), and appears to update each and every card; then later comes back to your control... this happens like every few seconds during your session with Address Book.

  • Why does the connection drop every other second when streaming from iplayer through safari to apple tv?

    I am trying to listen to iplayer radio through apple TV from my macbook air. When I switch back to just using the macbook the stream is consistent and works well but when I switch to airplay mode the sound stream literally drops in and out every other second. Ha! I have just gone into iTunes and I have the same issue!?
    I have checked for software updates on both apple devices and restarted my router but still I have the same issue.
    This is really annoying as this is the main reason I got apple TV! Can anyone help??

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Why does my wifi connection keep dropping every few seconds

    my new mac air is only a week old - it was working perfectly til yesterday now it won't hold a wireless connection.  won't even hold with an ethernet connection to mobile phone.

        I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
    Please share additional details so that we can help!

  • Why does it shut down a few seconds after turning on

    I just did the most recent update for my Macbook Pro ( I am posting this message with my older macbook pro), and after the update finished, now when I turn on the unit, the pinwheel spins for about 20 seconds, then the unit shuts off.  I am unable to interrrupt it and get it to open to any screens.

    See if you can get in that way.

  • Why does video only run a few seconds

    iPad demos and YouTube only run for a few seconds

    It could be that you have a poor connection to the router and the video needs to buffer. Try waiting a little to see if that helps. Good luck.

    hey try a smc reset
    EDIT (smc reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.)
    if that doesnt help look at replacing the batteries in your magic mouse and try it then
    if the issue still presists take it into a apple store and they can test it there to see whats up

  • MPEG4 / Stops playing every few seconds.

    Hi Folks,
    I got QT Pro 7.3 installed on iMac G4 700Mhz. Every time when I am playing mpeg4 files movie doesn’t play smoothly. It keeps stopping every few seconds until end of the movie itself. Its look like is only mpeg4 behaving like that. However I got two other Macs at home (iMac G5 1.8 GHz and Powerbook G4 1Ghz) and those files playing in perfectly good manner.
    Before posting my problem I have been doing some research on apple discussion pages related to exactly the same problem. I have found few topics but I don’t know if they are describing the same situation. Someone said its something to do with hardware and nothing can be done. Perhaps too slow processor but my friend has got emac with the same specifications where files are played without problems. Anyway I will be very much appreciated for any advise.
    Thank you
    Peter

    I tried a few more things and, like others, running the QT 7.0.1 reinstaller ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime703.ht ml ) fixed the issue. iTunes complains, which probably means I cannot buy videos and shows on the store, but that is not a big issue right now.
    As you say, guess we have to wait for QT 7.0.4.

    To prevent freezing or lagging/slow response on any BlackBerry, the most important practice you can adopt is to be sure to CLOSE applications when you are finished using them.
    If you just hit the red "end call" key to go back to the home screen the application actually stays open and running in the background. If you do this repeatedly you will have lots of apps open and consequently your memory will get used up. Lack of memory is the biggest reason your BlackBerry slows to a crawl or locks up. If you get into the habit of actually using the menu key to close the applications this will at least slow down this memory-clogging process. You still may have to do a battery pull or use the "Quickpull" app once in a while when things get slow.
    To check what applications are running on your device in the background, press the Menu key then choose Switch Applications. You will see the icons of each application there.
    So now, check your applications running in the background. There are commonly four or five applications that will always be running (Messages, Call Logs/Phone, BlackBerry Messenger, Homescreen, and the Browser; there are other third party applications such as BeeJive, and BlackBerry Alerts which will also run in the background which you cannot close if you want them to operate). Make certain that the browser is NOT on an active webpage (open the browser and choose Menu > Close). Close any other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

  • My browser keeps pausing and giving me the color wheel every few seconds

    Whenever I'm using Firefox my browser pauses every few seconds and if I am typing something nothing comes out, or the color wheel comes out (I'm on a Mac), if I'm watching a video it pauses every few seconds... it's sort of maddening. I do have about 20 tabs open at a time, I don't know if that is what causes it. It doesn't seem to happen when I am in Safari.
