Poor Download speeds in the evening, What can be d...
Hi All,
This question has probably been answered a million times so my apologys if it has. I tried downloading something last night and my download speeds were absolutely **bleep**, something like 4.3kbs a second!!!!!!
Now am I right in thinking that this is BT's stupid throttling occuring to me. In the day I get awesome speeds and have no issues at all.
On Sky BB I never had any issues at anytime and got around 6.5mb download speeds and my sync speed was 7.5mb. I ran a speed test last night and was getting the speed quoted what I pay for!? Can someone help me with this!?
Thanks
Steve
I take it your talking about P2P/torrents, heavily traffic managed by BT.

You can type p2p or torrents into the search box to find plenty of posts on this.

I tried several times to download pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
- Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. -

2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:

Infinity 1 and slow speeds during the evening and ...
Was installed Tues 4th June.
Predicted speed was 21.5 down and 5.0up, when installed it was actually 28.0 so pleased with that.
I.P profile 25.
Speed is absolutely fine during the day - 24 down, but every evening it plummets to between 1-3 mb. This can be anytime from 7.00pm - midnight and can last 30 minutes or sometimes 4hrs.
I've ran hundreds of speed tests and from several sites. They all show the same results on both laptops wired and wireless.
I had a call from the network fault specialist team on Wed and was told they needed proof (I have already sent numerous attachments via online chat) so the next time it happens to report it again.
So tonight I contacted online chat again (cos my fault is due to be closed tomorrow) he then transferred my call to the escalation department. He ran loads of checks and diagnostics but couldn't find any fault. He said the only thing they could do was to get an engineer out, but he agreed with me that the engineer wouldn't see the fault either as it only happens during the evening.
I eventually agreed to the engineer visit being as there is nothing else I could do, but then he couldn't book one. It said on his system that being as the diagnostic tests didnt show a fault no engineer is required.
He said my only option now is to pay for a local technician, which I refuse to do or to ring 0800 800 150 option 2 the cancellation department.
Runs perfectly during the day but terrible in the evening, what else can I do?
home hub 3 and ecl modem have both been reset, makes no difference, other than slightly lowering my i.p profile!
Solved!

I'm on the East Coast, USA. Here are my stats. I think they're more like what you are looking for.
1. Do you have any internet security or firewall app on there???
2. Have you gone to your Network Preferences, and clicked on "Assist Me?" It could be a setting is messed up.
3. How much RAM is in your MBP?
4. If you are near an Apple Store, I would take it in and have them troubleshoot it for you. -

I can't find software update in general icon in the setting, what can I do
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

How to install iOS 6

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
1. Go into the iPad's Settings.
2. Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
3. The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
4. Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
5. Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
1. If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
2. Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
3. After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
4. If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
5. After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
6. From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
7. After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
8. After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom -

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
