How can I Speed up downloads?
My downloading times have significantly slowed down over the past few days. What used to take no more than 20 minutes is now taking over 2 and a half hours. I have already disabled my add-ons and turned off my firewall. It isn't working.

You should run a bandwidth test to see if your provider is just having issues with unusually heavy traffic.
An example of a site hosting such a test is [http://speedtest.net/ http://speedtest.net/]
If you find there's nothing fixable after troubleshooting, you can try the DownThemAll extension. Your downloads will be faster, provided the server allows multiple connections (this is not the case for file hosts where you don't have a premium membership).

It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software. I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this. How can i speed up the downloads?
It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

HT201272 downloading a movie to IPad taking 24hrs how can you speed it up?
Downloading a movie purchase from ITunes store to Ipad3 is taking 24 hours. How can you speed it up?
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced. -
I had Firefox 4 installed and working until to day when I had problems login to my bank website. After contact with bank support I was recomended to change version to 3.6 on Firefox. I did so but the problem concisted and after a new support contact the problem was solved but I now was told that version 4 was ok to use (but not version 5 yet). I have now tried to find version 4 on Mozilla Firefox website but without succeding. How can I find and download Firefox 4?

How can I speed up the extract() function queries on XML
Hi,
Please I need some light on xml and indexes.
This is my case:
I use Oracle 9i R2.
I have a table with some rows containing some few xml documents (each row contains a big xml document).
Given a value for an attribute of a tag, I want to extract the entire section within the tags.
Example:
<MYTAG number="1">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="x">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
So for number=2 I would like to extract from the document the xmltype
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
I created an index and have followed all the steps from the XML Database Developers Kit manual. Then I would use extrac() as the document says.
Now some doubts arised:
Are these text/xml indexes only useful for getting the rowid of my document?
I mean, if I select 'x' from the table looking for some value, then the index is used. But when I use extract in the select to get the section I look for, the query gets really low, specially when xml documents are big. I think when I have only row with one document, getting the rowid is not the problem, but the extraction from the document is.
Is the extraction process faster because of the index?
For what I see, the index only helps me to find the rowid, but then Oracle has to deal with the very big document inside the row. At that point Its oracle against a big text processing and index has nothing to do.
How can I speed up the extraction of the section?
If there any other index or tool for help extraction to be faster?
I would appreciate to know what can I do. I need help on this.
Thanks in advance!Well,
- What indexes, if any, already exist?
- What do the functions rl and nice do?
- What are the current query plans?
- How restrictive are the various predicates?
- What version of Oracle?

How can I get a downloaded ringtone/song to appear in the settings/sounds/Ringtones menu area on Iphone 4? Thanks
You must create the ringtones. google will find several free ways to do this.
It will then appear in the "Ringtones" section of your itunes "Library".
Then you select it to sync under the ringtones tab. -

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1, iBooks 2.1Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1). -
How can I get my downloads folder to appear in the docking station
How can I get the download folder to remain on the docking station
Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications. Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider. You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize. I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal? If not how can I speed up this process? Thanks in advance for all of your help!
Hi
Time needed can depend on several things.
• less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
• Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
I use
Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
• Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
• Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

How can I delete a download that is hung up.
How can I delete a download that is hanging up?
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?
Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.
