WiFi cuts in and out

Having a wierd connection issue on my MBP. The airport card just keeps losing connection like crazy while surfing the net, but when I stream XM radio from the app, the connection is consistent and doesn't drop at all.
What could be causing this? Should I dump the prefs file in the system folder for my airport connections, or try something else?
Thanks,

That is interesting...
If what you suggest about OS 10.5 is true, then the fact that I have two MBP's in the same room which don't exhibit the same symptoms would lead me to believe that it was a hardware issue with either the onboard airport card or the computer itself.
Does anyone want to start listing the specs of their computer?
All my specs on my Computers are identical except:
Boot ROM Version - MBP31.0070.B02 (The one that's dropping airport)
SMC Version: 1.16f8
The Specs on airport:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.1.8.5
Wireless Channel: 1
BTW - When you say "router" do you mean the Airport base station?
Thanks,

IPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS ver 6.1.3) wifi cuts in and out. No other devices affected.

It was fine up until a few days ago when I noticed the wifi turning off while asleep (I was missing many notifications). Yesterday I noticed the wifi coming and going under normal use (in the middle of messages, checking weather, looking on Facebook, etc).
I've done the following to no avail:
Turned device off and on.
Turned wifi off and on.
Renewed lease.
Forget network and rejoin.
Turn wifi off and on.
Reset network settings.
Nothing is helping and it's frustrating trying to keep in touch with my family (via Facetime and iMessage) when the wifi doesn't stay on long enough to send a short message. My home button doesn't work, so I haven't been able to try and restart that way (holding home and power button simultaniously).
Also, my iPod is the only device in my home that is affected. My laptop, 3DS, and Wii, as well as my roommate's laptop, iPhone, iPad Mini, and PS3 are unaffected. These devices are all usually used at the same time and we've never had an issue before (even when friends bring over their devices).
Any help would be appreciated, as for this thing is the main way I keep in touch with my family (they all live out of town).

Did you power off and then back on the router?
Have you tried different locations since maybe interference is causing the problem.
Does it happen when connected to other networks?
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I pod nano bluetooth cuts in and out in car speakers

My i pod nano bluetooth cuts in and out from my car speakers. Everything else seems to work fine. Ideas?

Something is interfering with the signal. Try turning any devices with WiFi that are with you off.

Surround sound receiver is causing Apple TV to cut in and out.

My Apple TV is cutting in and out and I think my Marantz surround sound receiver is causing it because when I hook Apple TV directly to the TV it works fine. I looked at my receivers owner's manual but did not find anything helpful. Any idea how to resolve it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that the wifi channel is set to the same channel as on your previous router, also check the multicast rate is identical.
If the problem persists, you might also want to see if netgear have a forum or a help number and ask there.

My blutooth headset cuts in and out based on the position of the gen 4 ipod touch, any ideas as to why this is and how to fix it?

When using a blutooth headset with my ipod touch the signal seems to cut in and out. The controls seem to work fine but the audio cuts out when the unit is moved or placed in my pocket.

Could be interference
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Try:
- Reseting the BT headset
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all wifi networs and re-pair all BT devices

Having a problem with iphone 4S. Phone calls are getting dropped and cutting in and out.

I seem to have very little or no service at all recently.
All my calls are cutting in and out or hanging up in the middle of a conversation. I have to stand in the corner or my kitchen to get a clear call or get at least 2 bars.
I called Verizon yesterday and tried a few things they suggested but nothing worked.
I dont have another phone to call them back on since they suggest we call from a different phone until the late evening. Someone was supposed to call my back and never did.
Not sure on what else to do.
I am extremely frustrated and annoyed that I cant even really use my phone.
HELP

If the on/off switch does not work, that is a hardware problem. The other problems may be related to a hardware problem or faulure as well.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to confirm.

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone?

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem? tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
Any ideas what to do?

I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

Sound cutting in and out on Macbook Pro 15 (original) when waking display

When I wake the display from sleep, any audio that was playing when the system went to sleep - or rather, the display went to sleep (ie: pandora, QT movie, etc), immediately starts to cut in and out and gets glitchy. This happens as soon as I move my mouse and get the dialogue box to enter my un/pw to wake from sleep. The only way to resolve it is to quit the application putting out the audio, and then open it up again. Once I do that, the problem goes away.
Currently running 10.6.2, but have had this problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I've searched the forums and can't seem to find any answers. There are a lot of vague sound issues with MBP and this is a hard one to "sum up" in the subject line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've searched the forums and can't seem to find any answers.
Not even quitting out the audio application prior to letting your computer sleep?
Not sure what you have already tried from searching the forums. If you have Applecare, give them a call or take your computer to an Apple store. Let the Geniuses there check it out.

Logic Pro X Audio cutting in and out

When I am trying to record in Logic Pro X the audio seems to cut in and out at random points.
I have a MP3 track that I am recording to and it just randomly cuts out. Even when just playing that track by itself the same thing happens though never at the same spots. If I open the MP3 in Itunes or Quicktime there is no problem with the track.
As this seriously messes with the time of the piece and makes the recording long and painful I need help.
Is there some type of connection I am missing? I am using an old Presonus Firebox as an Interface, it unfortunately has adaptors to take it from firewire to thunderbolt. Recording into a 27" Imac that is very souped up and shouldn't have any problems until I hit a hundred tracks or so and I am only trying two.

It's most likely the Fusion drive, one of the symptoms is audio cutting out.
There are several related threads in this forum regarding audio problems with the Fusion drive.
This thread alone would take a couple of days to read.

A fix is supposed to be coming in the next operating system update.

Anyone help, my laptop cuts in and out of charge

When on charge, my loptop cuts in and out of charging making the battery go down. I have only had laptop for one month. Is this a common falt?

SMC = system management controller.
Here's the long answer. The power adapter senses power problems both at the input and the output - I mentioned protection circuitry at the DC output end. When the power adapter senses an AC line voltage input problem (even if it's less than a cycle), the adapter may momentarily stop charging. I believe that's what is happening to you. There are many reasons that this could happen: loose AC wiring at a switch or outlet, loose ground wire, line in-rush over-voltage, even something as simple as someone cycling a flourescent lighting fixture can cause a problem. To resolve this, you can:
Try a different power adapter. Due to a internal component tolerance stack-up, an adapter may be hyper-sensitive to AC line noise. If a second power adapter does the same thing, you can:
Get an AC line conditioner. I'm guessing a $75-100 unit would do the trick. If that doesn't work, you can:
Use the ungrounded, two-prong "duckhead" for the power adapter.
Cheers!

Audio Is Randomly Cutting In And Out In Playback

I have encountered this problem on all recent Premiere projects I've worked on with a variety of audio types. My audio is cutting in and out in a seemlingly random way while the video keeps running fine. Sometimes the audio will play fine for 15 seconds then stop, sometimes it stops and starts after about 2 seconds. I have tried adjusting all of my preferences, settings, audio types, and even video types but the problem always comes back. Spoke to a friend who's new to Premiere and he's having the same problem. Considering moving back to FCP despite the weak interface.
Currently I am editing Canon 5d Mkii footage at 1080p, 29.97 fps. I am using none of the audio attached to the video clips - only editing to a separate m4a music track. My audio is at 44100 Hz. I am playing back video at 1/4 quality. I am running a fully updated Mac Powerbook with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 and 8gb of RAM.
Please help, almostly completely unable to edit. Thanks.

I am still having the same issue in Premiere CC 8.0.1 (21)
Exact same issue as the original poster on this thread, as well as the original poster on this other thread:
Premiere Pro CC Audio Cuts Out
So this audio issue persists from version 7 now in version 8.0.1!
For me, audio is cutting in and out randomly and never in the same place. If I have multiple audio tracks on the timeline, then one or more tracks might drop-out at the same time. Sometimes all tracks drop out at the same time. It seems completely random.
I am editing with a combination of P2 footage and DNxHD 290 footage. (I originally had some AVCHD footage, but then I transcoded all of it to DNxHD 290 -- but this did not improve the audio issue at all.)
Two of my audio tracks contain the native camera audio (stereo); 1 track has the music bed (stereo .wav files) and 1 track has sound effects (stereo .wav files)
In one of my projects, I had a very strong reverb effect applied to the track (not to the clip). When the audio dropped out, I could still hear the tail of the reverb. This leads me to conclude that it's not the entire audio track that is muting -- it's definitely the source audio clip that's dropping out. The reverb tail continued after the audio dropped out.
Playing the same part of the timeline again produces randomly different results -- audio might drop out on a different track, or at a different time, or not drop out at all.
This bug is making it nearly impossible to edit! I have filed a bug report at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish_fr
During timeline playback, my CPU utilization never goes above 15% and at least 12 GB of RAM is staying free, so I am pretty confident these drop-outs are NOT caused by lack of computer resources. Also, my hard drives seem to be fast enough to play back 4 streams of HD simultaneously, but I am getting these audio drop-outs when playing back 1 stream of HD plus 4 channels of audio. Therefore, I don't believe this can be a hard drive bandwidth issue.

Sound cuts in and out

I am running Mainstage 3.0.3 on my MacBook Pro - 13" (early 2011), OS X 10.9.1, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and running on a Samsung 500GB SSD drive. I am plugging in a bass through an M-Audio USB Fast Track.
Using this right now simply to play along with tracks on iTunes (for practice). Used to use Garageband for this, but then I got Mainstage. Mainstage 3 was running fine when I first bought and downloaded it. Not sure what the problem is now, but when I open it and create a new concert (bass-rig) then turn the master volume up, the slider movement is choppy and the sound/signal cuts in and out (more out than in). The only time I can get sound to consistantly come out is if I click on a menu option, like File or Edit or Action, etc... if I click off the menu, the sound cuts back out and I get nothing.
Sound works perfectly fine through Garageband with the same setup.

That's the model of your processor in your HP P6350z. Do you have a discrete (separate) audio card in your PC? When you purchased your PC did you add a separate audio card? If not, then go to www.realtek.com and download and install the latest audio drive for the Realtek ALC888S.

Airtunes cutting in and out when using the internet.

Hi all,
I know this topic has been covered before and there is a support page for this problem on the apple website but I haven't been able to fix the problem using either hence the post so sorry for repetition.
As the title says my airtunes keeps cutting in and out, but it only seems to happen when I am actively using the internet. What I mean to say is that if the internet is connected and sitting there dormant it works fine, but as soon as a start to surf or download it cuts out, the higher the download/upload rate the longer the cut outs are until it stops all together.
My network contains the following,
2 Computers (1 iMac and 1 MacBook Pro)
1 Airport Express
The iMac is the host of the network, it also is the provider of the internet via a USB mobile broadband stick shared out via Airport (which cannot be connected directly into the Airport Express). Airport Express is used purely for Airtunes.
I could not change the channel setting to test for interference in Airport Utility as the iMac was the host. I tried changing the whole network channel on the iMac but the cut outs still occurred.
I use the MacBook Pro to send the audio from iTunes to Airport Express, distance would only be about 4 meters with no physical barriers such as stereo/cables/walls etc.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jarrod.

Any idea's please?
