How can i tell if my new Apple TV is streaming using wireless N or G

Ok i sold my 40G apple TV a few weeks back before the itunes update.. all worked great. Yesterday i purchased a new 16G apple TV and a new belkin N1 wirlessN router.
So far i have had a few problems with syncing. After much searching here it looks like it is an issue with the new itunes build. Apple TV drops in and out of itunes etc.
However when it is connected i found the streaming of movies and TV shows not much better than my old wireless G router. I was expecting much more. So as a shot in the dark is there a way to see the connection speed or transfer speed on the apple TV
TIA

Does your Mac have Wireless 802.11N? Both the router and the Mac must have N enabled to get the speed. ATV to Router will be at N speeds, but this does not matter if the bottleneck is between the Mac and the Router.
Newer iMacs and MacBooks have N, If you bought before 2007, maybe not. Maybe check your system profiler to see which you have.
For your initial sync, you may want to use an ethernet cable. See the Apple Knowledgebase article on how to do this. Once the initial sync is done, the incremental syncs should go pretty well with either g or n.
I have n. My wife's Mac has g. She is able to stream video to the ATV with no problem. We are using the Airport Extreme, though, not the Belkin.

  • How can I tell if direct-path insert is really being used?

    I have a number of INSERT statements with /*+ APPEND */ hints, that I suspect are not using direct-path insert processing. How can I tell (via the plan, via Enterprise Manager, whatever) if direct-path is being used?
    If it is not being used, then I can research why that might be, and try to resolve the obstacles there. But if it is being used, then I want to know that so I can focus elsewhere.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The question of whether direct-path is possible with multi-table inserts has been on my mind...
    Moreover, in another forum post, we have eyewitnesses that it has happened at least once:
    APPEND Hint in Multi-table insert
    So I think that post (giving examples of Explain plans with multi-table inserts successfully using direct-path) answers my question.
    Mike,
    Thanks for that link. When I checked my example again I realised that it had a foreign key constraint between the two tables I was inserting into. (It was a demonstration of how to normalise an incoming denormalised address table, so converted a flat table into address/address lines). When I removed the constraint I got the multi-table insert.
    However, I followed this up with a check on the execution plans and for the 10.2.0.3 I was running noted the following:
    Plan reported after running the insert and select from dbms_xplan.display_cursor()
    | Id  | Operation           | Name | Rows  | Bytes | Cost  |
    |   0 | INSERT STATEMENT    |      |       |       |    30 |
    |   1 |  MULTI-TABLE INSERT |      |       |       |       |
    |   2 |   TABLE ACCESS FULL | T3   | 10000 |  1240K|    30 |
    ------------------------------------------------------------Plan reported after explain plan / select from dbms_xplan.display()
    | Id  | Operation           | Name | Rows  | Bytes | Cost  |
    |   0 | INSERT STATEMENT    |      | 10000 |  1240K|    30 |
    |   1 |  MULTI-TABLE INSERT |      |       |       |       |
    |   2 |   DIRECT LOAD INTO  | T1   |       |       |       |
    |   3 |   DIRECT LOAD INTO  | T2   |       |       |       |
    |   4 |    TABLE ACCESS FULL| T3   | 10000 |  1240K|    30 |
    ------------------------------------------------------------If you try to check for direct path inserts by looking at the in-memory plans, you might not see the direct load that is really happening. (Perhaps the a check that both / all the target tables are locked with TM mode 6 may give you a clue.)

  • How can i set up a new apple id but still keep all my details from my old id

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

  • How can i tell if my lost/stolen iPod is being used

    My daughter has either lost or had stolen her ipod.  how can we see if someone else may be using it?

    Look for charges/purchase
    Look for photos in your PhotoStream
    Lookf for posts make for accounts used on the iPod like FaceBook
    There is not good way really
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How can I tell if my "new" ipod is refurbished?

    I was given an ipod as a gift, but now the giver suspects he may have been ripped off. It was not bought through Apple, but at a "reputable" place in NYC. However, it was not full price, which seems suspicious to both of us.
    Is there a way to check online whether it's new or refurbished? Also, how do I know what gen it is, as it doesn't say on the back? Thanks.

    Is there a way to check online whether it's new or refurbished?
    You can check the serial number online. Go here and click on the link for your iPod type.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
    You should see a link over in the right column that says +Check your warranty status+. Enter your iPod's serial number. This may provide information on when the iPod was originally sold.

  • How can I tell when the NEW firmware is available ?

    Although the firmware became available for the 'z2 tablet' very quickly - nothing has appeared for the phone (UK - SIM free).
    I have tried the update several times (with my PC) & am just told 'up to date'....
    I remember with the 'xperia s' I had to check a code (on a sticker inside the rear of the phone) to tell when it was available for me - how do I do this with the Z2 ?

    Unfortunately we are unable to confirm specific date for any particular firmware release due to the nature of the approval process.. For further information regarding the approval process please see here.

  • Superdrive - How can I tell if its broken or I'm just using it wrong?

    I've had my Quad PPC G5 for a while now, and the Superdrive has always been flakey...
    When I try to burn my vids using DVD Studio Pro mostly (but other software is used), it says it burns, but when move it to other machines or my TV, the vids freeze midway... When i copy the files to my PC and burn from there using Roxio, it burns fine & plays fine... I'm afraid to use the Superdrive now as I've given my stuff to people and they can't play it..
    I also have problems ejecting discs once theyre in the drive...If i have nothing in there, eject works fine, but if i put discs (any discs) in there, I have to reboot and hold down the eject button to get them out...
    I have AppleCare, but before i call, I'm hoping it is just a matter that I;m doing something wrong or using cheap DVDs (Generic DVD-R's 16X speed)... Buit that wouldn't explain away the eject issue...
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi James-
    Here's the info on your drive (performance review):
    http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/First-look-LG-GSA-4165B-DVD-Burner/1st-look-conc lusion.html
    The maker is LG- typically receives good reviews.
    I notice that you are running OS 10.4.6. How long has it been since you did a system reinstall? With regard to the eject function, it could very well be that you have some corrupt files within the OS. Could be that a repair with Disk Utility could help. Beyond this, an Archive and Install may be useful, followed by (preferred) a clean system reinstall. A simple re-update might be all that is needed.....
    But, since the drive has displayed the problem from the beginning, it does tilt the balance towards a hardware problem. Having said this, depending on the original OS version (10.4.2?), and the update history, the problem could lie within the firmware, or, system software.
    Does the problem occur in a different user account? Setting up a second user account, with Admin privileges, is a good trouble shooting technique. If no problem, then it is in your account only. If the same, the saga continues.......
    So- first, I would run Disk Utility (booted from install disk) and repair the hard drive. I would also repair permissions. Following this (after testing the drive) I would try a re-application of the 10.4.6 Combo Update:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1046comboforppc.html
    Should this fail, I think I would be inclined to use my Applecare.
    As for the disk reading and writing- take note of the makers that are listed on the bottom of the review (1st look conclusion) page that I linked. Can't go wrong with them. Also, look at user responses on the following (select format):

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier. If it's PowerMac11,2, the computer has PCI Express slots. If not, they're PCI-X.

    How can I tell if a page is secure? There used to be an option to view a security certificate although this has been removed from the toolbar?

    Thanks

    It has been changed. Please read this article:

    You can use this add-on to get the classic icon back:

    It has been incorporated into the far right end of the Address Bar. When you load a page, it is a "Stop" button, when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button.
    If you want it to be somewhere else in the Toolbar, you can drag it out to wherever you want. If that doesn't work, try this:

  • How Can I Tell if My iPad Air Replacement is New or Refurbished

    I'm getting a replacement iPad Air because mine had a problem with it, there were loose magnets in it. I've heard that people have another person's data on apps they have just downloaded and that makes me really uncomfortable.
    How can I tell if my replacement is brand new or just refurbished? Is there info in the serial/model number?
    Thanks.

    You might hear a lot of things on the Internet but that doesn't make them true.
    If you got a refurbished iPad from Apple it would be completely empty.
    Refurbished iPads are identified on the packaging.
    You can see the model number in Settings > Genera l> About > Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved).
