Wireless card, internet settings, Safari, not sure where the problem is...

I have a 13in. black MacBook. Whenever using Safari to connect to the internet, sometimes the computer will be as fast as lightning and other times I type in a web address and nothing, literally nothing happens. And sometimes it will just take ages and ages to go to and load a web page, if it loads at all. I have been to an Apple store, have done all sorts of trouble shooting, and last night erased my hard drive and completely reinstalled the operating system from scratch. Whenever I find something I think will fix the problem (from changing settings all the way to reinstalling operating system), the fix seems to work temporarily and then the old problems resume after a day or two. This problem happens on a variety of networks (public and home) and in a variety of locations (home, school, parents house, Apple store). Please help!!

Apple Store:
1. The first time they thought it was a software issue and updated my operating system to SnowLeopard. They did so and it worked brilliantly in the store and then started up with the same old issues when we got home.
2. The second time (different Apple store), they told me there was nothing wrong with either my hardware or software and that I should try a different browser (I think that is absurd).
How am I connecting?
Mostly wireless. The problem lessens considerably when wired. (I asked about whether this could be a problem with the wireless card but Apple said all hardware was "fine" when they ran diagnostics.)
Type of Router:
AirPort Express, LinkSys, and several others...all are 2.4gHz
Hope that helps, thanks for trying to help!

  • Mail box behaviour is not okay using gmail. All mails in INBOX gets replicated in Trash. This is a recent phenomenon. Not clear where the problem lies - in Gmail or in new OS in MAC.

    I use MAC Mail box for my gmail account. In the last one month or so, my gmail behaviour is erratic.  When I tyrpe mails and send, a spate of intermediate version gets stored as draft in TRASH forcing these to be manually deleted.
    Another new issue: All INBOX Mails appear now in TRASH also.  If I delete, Trash contents, I lost all mail in INBOX also. I re-created my INBOX content from Archive Mail box. Then all mails appear in TRASH folder alaso.
    I am not sure where the problem lies - Is it an issue of Gamil, or new Maverick OS that I use in my MACPRO.  This was never before say one or two months before.
    The situation is distrubing and please advice whether I should reset any configuration.

    I removed all mails sitting in Trash this time by using DELETE command; and then again clicked "REBUILD".  Now the Trash is empty.   I hope the problem is resolved for now. Thanks for the tips given instantly. Venkat

  • Error in flash code....not sure what the problem is

    I created a Flash (CS4, Action Script 3.0) website but when I went to "Control>Test Movie" boxes (that I didn't create) started blinking all over the page and a got this message in the "OUTPUT" tab:

    I'm very new to flash so I'm not sure where my problem is or how to fix it. 
    Any idea's??
    Thanks...

    Pat's right.. But it also sounds like you probably should go back and do some AS3 basics.   learning how to understand the errors is an important (though frustrating) part of the problem.
    My personal recommendation is Colin Moock's book "Essential ActionScript 3.0"
    Also try my friend and coworker Trevor's genious site: http://www.senocular.com/
    Now, that said, you're using some API that's looking for a button to talk to a movie clip.  Go back and look at what type of symbols your script is trying to talk to.

  • I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
    You will have to investigate to see what it is.
    Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
    Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
    Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.

  • HELP NEEDED.... NOT SURE OF THE PROBLEM

    I am currently having issues with Dreamweaver CS4.  I am not sure what the problem is, becuase I cant get anywhere. I click the icon on my desktop to load DW and nothing happens. I get the hour glass icon for loading, but after that nothing happens. I am not event getting the splash screen. This will happen pretty much every time I load DW, except once in a while it will load just fine with no lag or anything. I tried delete the cache files and still nothing happened. I uninstalled DW, deleted all of the files, ran reg cleaner to make sure I removed everything, reinstalled and still have the same problem. I have no problem running the other CS products, and never had a problem with DW either, up until a week or so ago. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, I have done pretty much anything you can think of to correct this problem.  The updater has things for all cs4 products, stuff for acrobat, fireworks, ext manager and so on. I have done these updates and before any updates for the cs4 products, DW opened fine. I am not sure what the problem is, but it crashes everytime before I even get to the splash screen, and it always crashes at 32,000 to 33,000 KB in the processes. It seems to not get anywhere, it just locks up right after the process begins.

    I found a solution!
    Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
    Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:

    As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
    1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
    2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
    3. Next was a restart.
    4. Then my display started working again.
    5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
    6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
    Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
    I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
    I hope this helps the next person.

    Also another great free program is OnyX, just run everything, cleans your machine out on a system level.
    You can cancel the reboot to run another cleaning section, just make sure you reboot at the end before using the computer.

    Also use the Firefox web browser, it's insanely faster, the fasest of all browsers. The choice of Add-ons is numerous, personalization is just awesome. Everything can be changed, moved around etc. Persona's, themes etc. Just insane.
    Not only that, Firefox is for Windows, OS X and Linux, the same browser on all.

    the security code error is actually generic and just means the card is being rejected, double check your billing info to make sure it matches the card exactly or contact the card issuer to make sure they arent blocking it because of a fraud filter or something similar

  • Not sure WHAT the problem is exactly. . .

    Okay, so here is the situation. I go through Qwest for our wireless internet service. The router for our service is upstairs in our two-story house. We have a few different electronic devices running off of the internet at any given time, including 2 iMac G5's, an Intel Based MacBook, a Wii, and a PC Laptop that my father uses downstairs occasionally.
    Well, it SEEMS like our internet service is the most reliable when all but one device is turned off. What i mean by this is that our internet seems to be the most reliable when there is only one computer on at a time. Otherwise, when either my brother and I are using the internet simultaneously, or my computer is on and i get online with the Macbook, the internet will frequently cut in and out every 5 minutes.
    We have contacted Qwest and had our router changed 3 times, and still we have the same results. I dont want to go through the hassle of a 4th router, and I thought it may have something to do with the computers themselves. What could be the problem? Are the macs running on some same frequency or something that could be causing the issue? Any help is deeply appreciated, for this problem is severely annoying.
    Any information will be given if asked for.
    Thanks! ^^

    "the internet will frequently cut in and out every 5 minutes."
    TIP: Set your email client to check for emails every 5 minutes. This will "trick" your ISP into thinking that you are not idle.

  • When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer automatically opens the IPAD device window to allow me to sync. It works ok for my iPOD so not sure what the problem is?.

    When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer opens it at  as device in itunes.
    This has worked in the past.
    I don't have problems with my old iPOD. That is recognised and syncs ok.
    Also, the PC recognises the iPAD as a drive  so I'm not sure why it doesn't open it in itunes... Very frustrating.

    Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
    The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
    I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this.

  • I can't receive emails in Thunderbird. Settings look correct. Not sure what the problem is.

    My internet provider (TWC) said I should contact you about this. I have two email accounts assigned to Thunderbird, but I'm receiving incoming email to just the one account. I can send emails on mine, but can't receive any. The second email account sends & receives just fine. TWC said my incoming is mail.twc.com & the port is110.
    I see under my settings there is no "Outgoing server (SMTP)" showing under Security settings on the list. The second email account does show this setting. I can access new incoming emails logging on to TWC site, but can't retrieve them opening in Thunderbird. Please advise. Thanks.

    If your problem is about receiving messages, why are you worried about the 'Outgoing server'?
