Wireless turning off during Video Streaming/Online...

Hey all. I thought I'd ask around here because.. well, everywhere else has been entirely useless for me so far, barring improving my reception.
Basically, I'm currently having an issue where whenever I try to run a game that uses online features, even something as minimal as leaderboards, I lose all of my connectivity to the wireless, and it won't return again until I quit the game, or stop doing whatever is requesting the use of my internet. I also occasionally get this when streaming videos, such as YouTube, but in this instance it's a lot less regular. On top of all of this, my computer seems to be the only thing affected in the house. I've tried doing the same on another laptop, and using things such as my iPod, DS, PSP, and 360 in my room (Which, whilst suffering from poor connection and disconnects still, it doesn't seem to be when doing anything relating to gaming).
I've spent the past week trying out different things that were availible to me to see what the issue could be, and so far I've tried: Moving my computer across the room (It's a desktop, so moving it anywhere is difficult), Trying 3 different wireless adaptors at my house and in another PC at another house (Belkin F5D8010, Belkin F5D8013, and a Sitecom N Wireless USB), changing operating system, changing channels on the hub, and lowering encryption on the hub.
Had a few talks with Belkin, and they're pinning all the blame on the hub, and the fishtank between me and the hub, but I find it weird that the problem would be those, when I only lose connection whilst gaming. Anyone got any ideas? Please?

Webcam Randomly Turning Off During Video Calls

During a video call, my video will randomly stop. I can start it again without problem, but would love to figure out why this is occurring, so that I can stop it from happening. My video is showing perfectly fine in the Audio/Video settings.
The camera is showing as a FaceTime HD Camera. I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 with Skype version 7.0 (653).
Has anybody experienced this before and know how to fix it?

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not alone. I've had my pre for about 6 weeks and I love it. So... I bought an INVISI-SHIELD for over $20 at Best Buy. Then the flickering and blank screens started a few days later. The only difference was the new protective, invisible, EXPENSIVE piece of plastic - so I trim it back to just the face (assuming it was a side sensor glitch) but it still didn't stop it. So I peeled off the skin tonight and it seems to be fine... for the time being.
A WARNING would've been nice before I spent my money. I want to be reimbursed by Sprint! Thanks community - it was nice to get help from YOU!

Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8. I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go. It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately). It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps. The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps. It also does not readily display photo informations. The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto). I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together. My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam. In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off. As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users. I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward. Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other. Can anyone verify?

Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone. Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

That's not currently an option in the Muse youtube widget.

iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

Iphone turned off during factory reset

Apologies if this has been raised a million times before, i have tried to search for an answer..
As the title says my phone turned off during a factory reset as the battery was obviously low. probably happened 1-2 minutes into it actually.
Now it wont get past the apple logo screen. I have tried to reset the phone using the home + power key but nothing happens. it turns off then when i turn it back on it goes back to the apple logo screen, then will turn off.
Ive plugged the phone into my laptop and that wont read it either.
I hope i havent ruined the phone by it turning off during factory resetting ? Can anyone suggest anything to fix this problem ?
thanks

See if you force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn off your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone to turn off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. After restoring from backup, you must sync to restore your iTunes content.

If I turn off the photo streaming will I lose my pictures?

You won't lose anything from your camera roll. Your iCloud Photos will still be available to any device or computer that you sign into iCloud with (using iPhoto or iOS Photos).

When I drag a synchonised clip to timeline, can I turn off the video's audio track only without breaking apart clips?

I have preparred many clips by synchonising them with audio recorded on H4N - and have these in keywords.
When I drag them to the timeline, do I have to break apart each clip item to turn off the video's audio track or is there a shortcut to doing this?

For each clip you can go to the audio portion of inspector and uncheck/disable the tracks you don't desire. That would take longer than Tom's method, but I think the audio won't show up as a blank later on.

My LCD does not turn off during the call. I have a iphone 4. What do i do?

My LCD does not turn off during the call. I have a iphone 4. What do i do?

You may have a defective proximity sensor but try some basic troubleshooting first...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
Let us know what happens.

[SOLVED] USB Harddrive via fstab turned off during Boot - Error

Hello^^
I'm trying to mount my external USB Drive.
I put the following line in fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /media/Musik ext4 noauto,user,default 0 1
I only want to start the Harddive occasionally.
The problem is, when the drive is completly turned off during boot I get the following error:
No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
Possibly non existend device?
I thought that the noauto Option should prevent fstab from mounting the hdd???
regards

PS: Manual mounting works without any problems...

Let me give you a hand then. The following I have in my /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules, and what it does is:
-- pick the name of a drive,
-- create a dedicated /media/mountpoint name (certainly, "mountpoint" is replaced by the name of your drive),
-- mount the drive on boot,
-- unmount the drive on shutdown and delete the /media/mountpoint.
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
# Import FS infos
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
# Global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
# Filesystem-specific mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"
# Mount the device
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Clean up after removal
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Exit
LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
Plenty of handy examples you can find in /lib/udev/rules.d/ and modify them so they meet you needs. I hope it clarifies the matter a bit.

Screen often turns off during calls - Unable to turn back on

Hello,
Often times during calls my screen will turn off - it does not respond to pushing the home button and will only turn back on if I press the sleep button repeatedly 6 or 7 times. Is there a fix for this? Does apple know about this bug?

Following an older post I have done the following:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
This worked for me. I hope this helps and thank you to Texas Mac Man who I got this info from. :-)

My Macbook Pro turns off during start-up

About a week ago I started up my mackbook pro and it turned off after about 2 second after the start-up tone... this happened repeatedly. I found by holding down the "ECS" or "SHIFT" on start-up it boots up but then the "Are you sure you want to shut down this computer" window appears repeatedly, even when I click cancel. If I don't click canel within about 2 seconds, the computer turns off anyway.
I left it for a day or two and then tried starting it up again... it started up fine...??? I updated the OS from Lion to Mavericks as I needed the new version of Keynote.
Another day or two later... it was tuning itself off again on startup and once booted...???
Now I am here online trying to find some answers and have reset the PRAM... its still turning off. I left it for about 5 mins while typing this discussion in and it booted OK again and is still running.
Any suggestions?

danyog1,
if it works for you in Safe mode, then that suggests that something that runs at startup in normal mode could be the problem. Download and install EtreCheck, and please open your own discussion and include in your initial post there the output from a run of EtreCheck.

MacBook Pro turns off during boot?

This is kind of a long story.
I have a 13-inch, Mid-2010 MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks. I was using it near a bathtub, when a moderate amount of water spilled onto the keyboard. I immediately dabbed out most of it, and put it upside down for some time. It was running then, with all the keys and trackpad working fine. t turned it off, and tired turning it on after half an hour. Nothing. I decided to keep it switched off for 7 days, during which I would open the lid every now and then to find vapor on the screen from the keyboard which I would wipe and close again. I turned it on when there was no vapor spotted for 3 days. I plugged it in after 7 days, to see that the battery status indicator was erratic. It turned on with a sound from the SuperDrive (the usual click). There was no startup chime. A few minutes later, it turned off. I decided to reset the PRAM and SMC, and I realized that I can get to my account window successfully (and type a 22 letter password) as long as I keep any key pressed throughout bootup (option, command key, etc). I have tried many times, but it just turns off with a "nik" sound. I haven't backed up, and I have about 270 GB of important data stored that I CANNOT lose.
If it helps, it's 250GB drive crashed in December but it was replaced with a 500 GB and has been running smooth until this.
Please help me! Any advice at all is extremely appreciated. Thank you!

Take the HDD out of the MBP and install it in an enclosure. Connect it to another Mac and see if you have access to the HDD. If so, copy what ever files that are important to you to another HDD.
Then you can take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. Prepare your self for unfavorable news.
Ciao.

Optical audio out turns off during silence

My optical audio out port turns off when no sound is being played. When a sound is played my speakers pop as the receiver switches into optical mode. This takes a second so I miss system sounds. I would like to set the optical out to always stay on, even when I'm not listening to music so I can hear these sounds and avoid popping. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Note that there are several different ways that an iPod or Nano can support TV output, depending on the iPod model & type of connection. The charts at iPod and iPhone: TV out support may be of some help with this, but it still can be confusing, depending on which of the two Apple docks with very similar names you might have used, or if you used any third party connection products.
Because of this, it probably would be best for each of you asking for a solution to describe in detail which items you used in your connections, & which of the TV's video input jacks that you plugged the output connectors into.
