In OS X 10.4.10 Air tunnes and other stuff takes longer to connect

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.4.x everything that is wireless takes longer to connect. For example iTunes takes like 13sec. to connect to the Airport Express. My Logitech bluetooth mouse takes like 17sec. to reconnect when it looses signal. And in Safari when I am listening to audio samples in Amazon.com it's like 1992 again it takes 20sec. to hear a 30sec. sample. All of this used to be much faster in OS X 10.3.9.
Does anyone notice this, and if so, is there a way to make things a little bit snappier?
Thanks

Try doing a power cycle.
Shut all the computers, routers, airports, expresses...turn them off.
Wait a few minutes, then turn on again:
modem first, then router, then expresses, then computers.
This may not be the complete fix, but it may help the network sluggishness.

    I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.
    Thanks kiwihdrider

Any other ideas

  • How to get rid of hiss when/noise/static using EarPods on MacBook Air'13 (and other macs)?

    I still haven't found any solution to that and i love my EarPods. That's a big discomfort, especially when listening at low volume, which i do quite often.

    I think what you are hearing is just air flowing around in the room causing a very similar white noise, I noticed this myself when using the "EarPods" on my Macbook Pro. It could also be caused by a damaged Audio port or the Earpods audio jack itself. Twisting the jack while inside the port may help if this is the case, but I would first highly recommend trying to wear the Earpods and then covering your ears and see if the noise goes away, as twisting could potentially cause damage. If covering your ears seems to remove the sound, then it would most likely just be airflow. If neither work and persist, I would then recommend trying to return the Earpods, or getting a new In/Out for your Mac. I am experienced with music production and sound design so if none of these solutions work, please let me know. ~SirFox

  • Upgrading the speed and other stuff on mac air

    hello i was wondering how i can make my early 09 mac air faster since i cant upgrade rams also can i upgrade the internal fan video card anything? thank you

    The Air cannot be upgraded. The CPU and RAM are mounted directly on the logic board and it has no graphics card - it uses a graphics subsystem that is part of the CPU. A larger hard drive can be installed but that is the only hardware upgrade possible. If your Air has a standard hard drive upgrading to an SSD would offer some speed increase but I'm not sure that is a cost efficient solution. If your hard drive is more than 85-90% full, deleting some old/unused files could make things a bit better. Certainly returning to Snow Leopard would give your computer a big speed bump.

  • IPad Air 2 and 27 inch Thunderbolt display

    I picked up a new iPad Air 2 to replace my iPad Air. I keep a charging cable plugged into one of the USB ports on the back of the Thunderbolt Display. I use it for charging my iPhone 6, iPad Mini, and my previous Air. I use the TB Display when I plug in my Late 2013 Macbook Pro.
    Yesterday when I had my Macbook hooked up to the TB Display I plugged the new iPad 2 Air into the cable coming off the back of the display and nothing happened. No charging or iTunes did not open on the MB Pro. Tried a different cable, different port and nothing. Removed the cable and plugged it into the USB MB Pro and all was good. Mind you my other iPad Air, Mini and iPhone all work when I connect to the cable when it is plugged into the back of the TB Display.
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks...

    27" Display is must power ON,  so USB port will have DC power . (5V)
    27" Display is AUTO power OFF = if No display Video.
    Solution =  Connect MacBook the power ON 27" display
    since 27" Display is ON ==> now USB have power  to charged iPad Air 2

  • My MacBook Air (2011) and my iMac (2008) can no longer see each other.

    Hi
    My WiFi is via a TimeCapsule which seems to work perfectly well with the Apple TV, Hot plugs for the TV and my iPhone/iPad but my two computers (above with Mavericks operating system) can't see each other any more.  It's been about a week now.  I have restarted both of them but to no avail.  My MacBook Air has alternate backups to a local USB connected hard drive and Time Capsule and both are working fine.  I've tried looking in System Preferences to see if something's turned off but can't find what I'm looking for.  I tried changing the settings in Airport Utility but that made things worse so I've reverted to the original "Bridge Off" mode.  What has happened or have I inadvertently turned off?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I can see that Accounts/Screen Names can get messed up on the various flags set by an App to and therefore On the AIM servers.
    What I can not see in this case is why it seems to be limited to just one Buddy on each computer.
    As the Block list (And therefore presumably Allow Lists) are not actually shown in the .p0list I ma hoping that deleting it and restarting ichat at one end at least will reset that iChat form the Defaults haled in the app when you do this.
    (you could delete that Account Screen Name from iChat ? Preferences > Accounts to achieve the same things in a more destructive way as it would tend to rewrite all the .plists which may included Jabber ones that are OK
    We both did delete our screen names in iChat, and also deleted ALL the prefs manually.
    Also, we've tried using entirely different computers to log-in to those same accounts, with the same results - somehow we're blocked from each other.
    I think we're both giving up at this stage. We have additional accounts we can use to see each other. But it would be really nice to get to the bottom of it, because if it happens once it can happen again. Who knows? Maybe there are other people in my buddy list that this is happening with right now, but we don't know it. This person just happens to be someone I chat with a lot, and we noticed we weren't seeing each other.

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • I am trying to connect my ipad to my new hp photosmart printer 6520e The ipad is saying no air printers found . The printer is already connected to my mac book and my desktop wirelessly. What do I need to do ? Please help

    I  can't connect my ipad to the wireless printer hp photosmart 6520e . Ipad is stating no air printers found. My MacBook and desktop are connected and working well.

    S the printer connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad?  If so, is it wirelessly connected to it?
    That particular pinter model does appear on Apple's list of compatible printers.

    You might want to try to reboot the router and try again as a first step.

  • How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
    That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
    This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
    Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

  • HT4437 What is difference between air play and home sharing if you just want to show iPhoto's on HD tv through apple tv (just purchased MacBook Air and Apple tv)

    What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv?  Just bought Mac book air and apple tv. 

    You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    Airplay would be useful if streaming from an IOS device

  • I recently bought two iMac quad core i5 processor speed 2.5 Ghz. Every time I use Air Drop and I send a file from one iMac to the other, a black curtain drops and I am asked to restart the computer!!! What can I do?

    That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
    Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
    You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

  • We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter.  Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

    We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old.  Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID  for her to avoid this?

    It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
    The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
    To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

  • My iPad air won't charge.  I have used both the charge cord that came with it, and a second that I bought at the Apple store.  I have used both the charger that came with the iPad, and others that are working with other iPads.  It charged yesterday.

    My iPad Air will not charge.  I have used its original charge cord, and a second Apple lightning cord.  I have used the original charger and others that I have confirmed do work.  It charged yesterday, no problem.

    Before going to the Apple store carefully examine the lightning port to make sure no fuzz or other foreign stuff has gotten in there. There are not that many things that can prevent an iPad from charging. You've tried a different cable, different charger and hopefully the reset suggested by Barry in the previous post. Check for debris and if the port is clear Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

    I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

    thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
    Options.....
    1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
    2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+     ((((MAC FORMAT)))  (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)    ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.
