WiFi good... Connection bad?

I recently moved and got Comcast as my wireless provider. Since than I have had horrible connectivity(speed?) on my iPhone(original). I show almost full bars on my signal and the wireless connection for my desktop and laptop are quite good. I am unable to connect to iTunes through my phone or download apps etc. because it is so slow. When I am at a friends house who also has comcast I have the same issue. Could it be the provider? Any thoughts? Thanks for reading and contemplating!

If you're getting good connections to other devices, it's hard to blame it on the Comcast modem or service - all connections would be slow. Try rebooting the router, deleting and reestablishing the the connection in your iPhone.

IPod touch - IS IT GOOD OR BAD?????

i have just bought an ipod touch and my personal view is excellent!
98% works perfectly - just the safari web brouser can be slow (eventhough im on highspeed wireless broadband)
i love the coverflow and scrolling is amazing with a flick of a finger
buying on the move is a big bonus - i've just been to scotland and was in a wifi area and bought a couple of songs! it only takes seconds aswell!
pictures are clear and easy to see and zooming in by 'pinching' is clever and works well.
obviously videos are good and so is music!!!!
thats what i think about the Ipod touch what about you - please leave your comments on it - good or bad..............

What I have found disappointing so far is web access on the ipod touch: I have not been able to log on to any commercial network (= requiring some sort of authentication) for example in hotels. It seems that Safari on the ipod touch does not support certain functions required. The connections worked flawlessly from Safari on my Macbook so it seem to be a ipod touch issue (I assume the same goes for the iphone).

Apple os x 10.7 server "not connected to internet" error when trying to download "essentials" through working wifi internet connection?

Lion and Server downloaded fine, but Server wants additional "essential files" .
I try to load these but I get "not connected to internet" error message despite working wifi internet connection?
How to proceed (connection is good, firewall off,??)

answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189925?tstart=90

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

Migrating assistant good or bad

Hi guys...
This is my first post so be gentle... I just have a small question for you guys and girls... what is your view on the migrating assistant, is it good or bad... i have heard someone saying that it migrates some files over that mess up your system... and if it does how do i know which to delete.. and second of all can you choose exactely what to bring over or does it just take everything... is targetdisk mode a better option... maybe a bit more timeconsuming but safer...?? Please give me your opinions... Thanks... ohh forgot to say, reason why im asking is that im planning on buying the infamous MBP..
Mac OS X (10.4.6)
ibook g4 1.33 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Really want MBP

I would say that this is a WARNING [capital letters - if you can't tell already ;- ) ]
My friend - who is a computer tech [Mac & PC] since the Apple II days. For all of you that don't know - that is 30 years ago. He bought his first BRAND NEW computer ever - yesterday - A MacBook Pro 2.16 w/ 7200RPM HD [off the shelf at a local Apple store]. He has made a LOT of money from repairing computers - he didn't have to buy this MacBook, because he has EVERYTHING else - he bought it because the MBP represented the ability to have the Mac OS + WIN XP on the same machine. And also - his clients were asking questions about the MBP, and he had to know - first hand, what they were about.
He used the migration assistant to transfer his files from his PowerBook G4 - 17" [1.67MHz] - and there was disasterous consequences! After the transfer - the new MBP wouldn't boot to the desktop - until several restarts later. Finally when he could - there was some very weird stuff going on.
1. No Airport recoginition
2. Screen stayed on full bright [couldn't be dimmed]
3. His BlueTooth cellphone would shut off [I know - this is crazy - but it is true, the MBP somehow killed the cellphone connection!]
4. Kernel panics - [many]
He [with 30 years experience] promptly returned the MBP to the Apple store - and showed it to the "Genius" - who immediately gave him a brand new one.
He [or the "genius"] never had any reason to doubt the "integrity" of the "Migration Assistant". My friend thought that his MBP was defective - and the Apple "Genius" thought the same thing.
So - he took it [the new one] home - and used the "Migration Assistant" again - and the exact same thing happened!
Finally - he just decided to re-install the whole operating system [clean install] - and now everything is fine.
If I were you - I wouldn't trust the "Migration Assistant".

Internal Domain Names (good or bad?)

I'm just trying to establish what's good or bad about internal domain naming. I've currently got server.office (when viewed internally) but server.externaldomain.co.uk when viewed externally. But now the time has come to upgrade the servers and it seems a good time to reevaluate the naming and ip status of stuff. My question is that should a network's server and computers have internal dns (ala .office) or external naming linked to internal ip's (computer01.external.co.uk - 10.0.0.2)? What's the advantages of both.
Thanks.

Personally I'd stick with the same name from a user's perspective, independent of whether you're using separate DNS zones internally.
Using mail as an example, you might configure 'mail.domain.co.uk' as the hostname for your mail server.
By publishing that name in both the internal and external DNS you only need to tell users to configure their mail client to talk to mail.domain.co.uk and they'll always get connected. The magic of DNS means they'll resolve the public IP address if they're outside the network, and the private IP address if they're in the office (or on VPN, etc.). Now users don't need to maintain separate mail profiles for internal and external accounts.
Now, whether or not mail.domain.co.uk is the actual hostname of the machine on the internal network is a different matter altogether. This could easily be CNAME'd to mailserver.office on the internal zone, allowing you to maintain the .office zone on the inside network which has advantages in that you know you should never serve .office to external clients.
Personally, in my network, there are no externally-visible hostnames that match the actual machine names.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My wifi is connected but doesn't work

The download speeds on my iPhone 4 via wifi dropped from 18+ Meg's to .23 Meg's
The upload speeds are good at about 7.8 Meg's and holding.
My phone always shows signal and connection and doesn't
Disconnect at all. I have had this phone for a year and this issue started the
Beginning of dec. Is there a seperate transmit and receive antena?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

The wifi is connected I've verified this by enabling airplane mode.
The icon for wifi is on and I can pass limited traffic.
(see former post). Turned off cellular data and 3G too.
I get .23 on the download and 7.9 on the upload.
So I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the wifi access point.
I'm showing the phones Mac address in the routers arp table too.
4 laptops, 2 other iPhones and 2 iPod touches all connect to this same
Access point with speed test results from 10-18 Mbps On the download.
3-8 Mbps on the upload.

BT - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

The Good
I see BT getting a hammering in this forum for upload speeds and broken promises.
I want to say that BT Engineer came round today as promised and sorted my problems out.
Ran some tests and although he said they seemed ok, he did an AC test? Said that it was marginal at 54 (anybody know what this is?)
He has connected a different line and the AC result went up to 75 which is good (apparently).
My BB has been running at 25 Mb down and after he released the profile, now gone up to 36Mb. (May not hold at that!)
Good guy, great work, well done BT.
The Bad
Under ADSL, the hub showed FEC and CRC errors. BT have chosen to remove this facility in HH3 and I can understand why as for the "average" user, too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. I'm sure customer service was being overwhelmed with calls of "is this right?"
However, it is very frustrating when you know you have a line problem, but officially all you can report to BT is that the line speed has dropped by 10Mb.
I know my line is capable of 30 - 36 Mb but when you phone the call centre (see below) you restart the hub and of course when you find it's still only 25 Mb because your IP profile has been capped by the DSLAM, you are then told that this is acceptable because anything above 20Mb is fine. It's not fine! (Rant)
Of course I have other VDSL modems which are able to five me full stats on DSL errors and surprise, surprise, I'm getting 10 million FEC errors in 15 minutes.
The Ugly
Quite simply the call centres; actually, certain call centres.
I phone up and report my poor download speed.
25Mb is acceptable
No it's not I've been running at 33Mb.
OK restart the hub.
No better
OK I'll do some line tests....there is a fault on the line. (No shiz Sherlock)
An engineer will sort it within 48 hours.
Will he need access to the house?
No - he will look at the cab and the line.
Next day...
Call from BT...Has your speed recovered.
No
Oh we'll need to send an engineer out
Hmmmmm
Engineer turned up as promised (back to top)
In summary
BT Engineers - great.
BT Infinity itself - great.
I understand the limitation of line length, copper, flooded access points, weather, Xtalk, so am not expecting a full 40Mb service. Just please don't fib to me that I should be ok with 20Mb on a faulty line.
BT Customer support:
Online support - great
Forum mods - great
Offshore - forget it

Thanks for the comments.
FEC error details showing on HH3 - understand that but you are probably aware that these can be (ahem) obtained from the HG612 if you were so inclined.
I honestly wanted to say that the product offering and the technical support has been good from BT, probably because I got a decent result to be fair.
In this particular case I got L2 support - never got to those heady hights before, and recieved a call after engineer had been asking if it had been resolved to my satisfaction etc. so tick in the box. Recieved another call this morning.
You've probably nailed it by pointing out the VERY conservative etimates of speed for contractual purposes.
Even the DSLAMs have got the "script" When you have a good connection and decent IP profile, the acceptable range is high, when your profile has dropped through the floor, acceptable speeds are low. Hope we can change the goalposts like this in the European Championships!

Wanting to buy a refurbished Ipod Nano 3rd generation....Good or Bad

I had purchased the 2nd generation Ipod Nano (display unit) though never played, but when I got it home and synced music onto it the music showed up in the Ipod when connected to the computer thru the USB cable, but once I would unplug the unit from the computer, the Ipod wouldn't even power up. So, I took it back - now I need to replace that one for my daughter. I can't seem to find the 2nd generation Nano's anywhere, but on the Apple website, they have the 3rd generation Ipod Nano silver on clearance but like title states it is REFURBISHED, is this good or bad? I need to know asap, so that other arrangements can be made, just in case I need to look further on Ebay or other forums that list items for sale. Thanks, And I hope to hear from someone real soon. Melissa

Apple's refurbished stuff is supposed to be very good.
Although I have not purchased any of it myself, I know people who have who have all been very happy with it.
Question. Is your iPod still under the 1 year warranty? If so, you can send it in for service.

I hope this helps!

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.

Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.

WiFi good... Connection bad?
