  • Why does my iPad keep cutting out?

    Why des my iPad keep cutting out? I can be using an app or surfing the net, and it cuts out an reverts to homepage.

    Try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you are on iOS 5 then you could also try turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad.

  • Mavericks - Why does my sound keep cutting out?

    I installed the most recent security update two days ago, which I thought was just for Safari, but now my sound cuts out to about 10% for a second every two to three minutes. It happens in iTunes and Spotify. Anyone else having this issue?
    I'm on a Mid 2012 15-inch MB

    Yeah Kase12 I was just wondering if you ever figured out what was making this happen...I have tried replacing all the cables and it still does it...Every couple minutes the sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back on and it might be 30 miniutes before it does it again or it might do every 4 minutes theres no pattern to it
    .If you figured it out could you please shoot me an email at [email protected] thanks

  • Why does my audio keep getting out of sync?

    Every so often (Maybe once or twice a week) the audio on my computer goes completely out of sync. I can't watch videos or edit with fcp without trouble. It's been happening for probably a month. I use sound siphon occasionally (An application that ports system audio in as an input). Could this be the issue?

  • Why does my Ipad keep cutting out on my household wi-fi?

    We have wi-fi in our two story house, with a desktop upstairs and one downstairs also. Both work well, so we have confirmed no problems with the ISP.
    However, the brand new ipad air (not wi-fi plus cellular) seems to have intermittent reception at best- very unreliable. Sometimes our reception is fine- like right now- but other times- such as this morning, the ipad seemed to recognise our network, but we got "not connected" under Wi-Fi on the settings menu. I can't undersatand how the ipad can be "not connected" while identifying and appearing to connect with our network??

  • Audio keeps cutting OUT !!

    Hi All
    I've just recently started having problems with the audio signal from my MP, all applications like iTunes and listening to streamed radio online. I'm using a 828 Mk1 firewire audio interface and the audio keeps cutting out for a 2-5 seconds frequently. I'm using the 1.4.7 motu driver, clock source is Internal. There doesn't seem to be a problem if I use the Macs internal speakers. Its been working fine since I got this machine a few months ago but all of a sudden this problem has occurred !
    Anybody have any ideas to what is happening here ??
    Many Thanks

    hi MacMac,
    i did reply on your other thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7189792#7189792
    i had a fiddle with sample rate settings, both on teh motu itself, and in the midi utility ,and installed the 1.4.7 driver, and mine seems to be sorted as of today too.
    weird, huh?

  • Why does my ipad1 keep closing out of games and Facebook before I want too?

    Why does my ipad1 keep closing out of games and Facebook when I am looking at still playing or checking comments on Facebook? This has been happening more and more frequently.

    Try reseting the iPad (different from restarting). Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding both buttons until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons. Once it powers back up, try your games and Facebook. This "reset" fixes a lot of weird iPad issues.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Why does my sound keep cutting in and out on my tv when connected to Mac?

    I hooked up my Mac to my tv using a mini display port and changed to sound output so that I could get sound from my tv. The sound is coming from my tv, but it is cutting in and out. Is there a way to fix this? Is it the cables I'm using?

    Yeah Kase12 I was just wondering if you ever figured out what was making this happen...I have tried replacing all the cables and it still does it...Every couple minutes the sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back on and it might be 30 miniutes before it does it again or it might do every 4 minutes theres no pattern to it
