10.10.3 slow, wifi problem etc...

I am running a Mac Mini 2011, 2ghz 17, 8 gigs of ram and 1tb. I had Yosemite installed and was working fine, no problems until 10.10.3
1. Wifi - slow, un responsive
2. Applications - slow to open and unresponsive at times
3. iTunes - trying to watch playback on trailers, and they buffer (wifi problem)
4. Photos - just not a fan but maybe it will grow on me
I don't typically complain, but this is getting a bit frustrating as this is my main computer. Other are my work laptops running windows. Also, since I watch a lot of content via the net etc. and pretty much everything is at a dead stop. I have yet to really check every application or function but assume they will perform the same.
I have reset my network a few time, cleared out some old files and some restarts on the machine itself. Last resort will be to wipe it clean and try a new install. Any other suggestions before I take this route?
Thanks

Linc,
I ran a few applications and started looking at the logs. There is one common theme. This is what I found. The Raid failure to me is confusing. I have 2 500gig drives but its setup as 1TB, no raid configuration. Let me know your thoughts on this. I figured, this may be what is causing all the other problems.

Lion keeps freezing, computer slower, WiFi problems

Ever since installing Lion my computer is much slower everything is lagging. My computer never frezes and now it freezes all the time mostly when i am trying to open something in the dock. the Wifi takes forever to conncet. Is Apple going to fix this or should I just revert back to Snow Leopard? I only updated to use Cloud but my computers a mess now.

If you JUST installed lion, your computer will have to reindex itself via spotlight, which takes up cpu and time. How much ram do you have?
If you're already going to go through the process of uninstalling lion, try reinstalling it first to see if your issues pursist. hold cmd+R while rebooting. run disk utility from here (the recovery partition) to verify and repair the disk you're installing lion on, and then reinstall lion. Make sure you are connected to a reliable internet source, or plug in your ethernet if you can, and turn off wifi before proceeding to install lion.
Let me know how everything turns out. There is no doubt that lion needs some improvement but it's also third party applications that seem to have a really tough time adjusting to lion and they all need to be updated. (this is typical for new OS releases, though companies have a good amount of time before Lion is released they usually fail to find all the bugs until it hits the masses.
feel free to file some feedback to apple as we are all just users like yourself. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Incredibly Slow WiFi Problem

Hi
My WiFi speeds are very very slow.
http://twitpic.com/c9eu9
My average on my PC is about 1500kbps.
Can someone please tell me why it is so slow on my iPhone.
Thanks.

IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

IPad 2 Wifi Problems after upgrading to iOS 6

I Updated my iPad 2 to ios6 then day iOS6 was released, ever since then i have been unable to connect to the wifi. I've reset the network setting and the wifi works for about 5 minutes until i go on any apple app ( itunes, app store, maps etc).

Reluctantley i updated my ipod touch 4 gen to see if iOS 6 was the problem and I now have the exact same problem on my ipod touch. Someone Help!!

Slow streaming problem with New Apple TV (2nd Gen)

All,
I'm using an ADSL 4meg link to my house. Sustained download speeds from most decent websites comes in well over 300KB/sec I can preview movies from Itunes, using my IMAC wirelessly using Netgear DG834/g router within seconds...Using Apple TV the Preview takes well over a minute, and to download a Standard Def movie takes 3 hours, which is really annoying, why is this when the same kit/infrastructure can view YouTube content within seconds. Using Ethernet makes no difference to the download time, (for those that were gonna suggest a Wireless Router problem). I've read these threads and Apple themselves suggest a 2MB link or over is adequate. Has anyone come across this, can advise. I've just today downloaded the 4.1.1 update, makes no difference.....HELP...PLEASE....

Easy...slow internet speed with slow wifi router = looong download times. Do the maths :
Average SD movie size approx 1.5 GB (1500 MB)
Average HD movie size approx 3.5GB (3500 MB)
Your advertised internet speed is 4Mbps = 0.5 MB/s. Rarely you can get that advertised speed. Let say you can reach an optimistic average of 0.25 MB/s (250 KB/s)
1500 MB / 0,25 MB/s = 6000s = 100 min so approx 2 hours. On top of that, if your router doesn't work at full speed because distance from the Apple TV, walls, interference, etc.....= long download times.
For those who complain about long download times with HD movie, repeat the same exercise and you "will see the light". And by the way, hopefully you are kidding when you compare Youtube content with iTunes store content.
Secret : Fast Internet connection + fast reliable n router = great Apple TV performance.

Bt infinity wifi problems

hi all
ive had bt infinity for a few months now and i have to say the connection is great
the wifi however is rubbish and i cant put my finger on the problem.
i have no electrical items" too close" ive tried 2 different home hub 3's and also a netgear n750 router and nothing seems to improve it.
initially it seemed fine for the first three or four weeks but since then , although i can see the signal, i cant seem to connect to it, either with any speed or mostly even at all. when i do get on the wifi its slow and unreliable , before finally dropping out and tnight again i cant connect at all wirelessly
the hard wired connection is fine i might add and all the relevant lights are always on and the color they are "supposed" to be
ive tried everythingican think of, but i cant seem to get a decent wireless signal i can connect to.
ive tried changing the channels, leaving them on auto etc etc
ive even changed the encryption standard to see if that was the problem and also spend hours on the phone to bt infinty "support" in india.
althought they were intially helpful, they were a waste of time and didnt call again when they promised to to see if it had improved at all after i had connected briefly. (which i do seem to do occasionally)
has anyone else got this wifi problem ?
please can anyone advse me on this as the mrs is making my life **bleep** lol

IPod Touch 5g A1421 Slow Wifi on certain Apps

Greetings,
Im still trying to get used to my brand new iPod (1 month since i bought it), but i just cant sort one annoying thing. I bought it so i can replace my iPod Touch 4g, that was constantly crashing while playing Podcasts with the Apple App (Tiesto's, Hardwell and some other pods). This new one doesnt have that problem, but it seems to download the podcast at a very slow rate,it takes 1 hour or so to download a 80mb podcast (15mb internet speed), while on my 4g it took 10 minutes. It also cant play any Twitch streams on high rate, because it freezes every 2 seconds, after a waiting of 1 min. Out of those two apps, everything its ok, browser and YouTube loads quick and without any problem. Speedtest shows 10mb/sec. Im using a DLINK DI-524 Router, wich only supports the 2.4ghz band in G mode (guess it also supports B, since that one its older). On my college it works slow as well (300mb internet speed). Its just my iPod btw, iPad 2 and iPod touch 4g works great at dowloading/watching Twitch.
What can i do to sort this out? I have performed everything that its listed (reset network, factory reset, reset the router, change to channel 11, using a 8.8.8.8 DNS on my iPod wifi conection, etc). Im thinking on buying a newer router.

Anyone? I contacter apple support and asked me to bring the iPod for tests, and it gives the same results there. It will take 2 weeks to get a replacement.

Wifi problems still exists?

I sold my gs60 that had an 870m back in january mainly because i couldnt bare the wifi problem. I really loved the laptop and everything about it but everytime my laptop overheated the wifi would drop from 100mb to 1mb or less at times, monday im thinking of buying a new msi laptop and im wondering if these models that are currently being sold on amazon and etc still have the wifi problem or has it been fixed?
And trust me, i read the forums, i read the guides and im pretty decent with computers/software and etc, i uninstalled, reinstalled, updated it, changes adv. settings and even though it improves certain things the problem was still there. So does it still exist?
Or should i just buy a USB wifi?

This problem only occurs in earlier patches of Intel WiFi card of GS60 2Px (8xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards) and not every unit was affected.
If you don't want to take this risk, I'll suggest you buy GS60 2Qx (9xx series of NVIDIA graphic cards).
USB WiFi is a good idea. It certainly has a better signal comparing to the WiFi embedded in the body of the laptop.

Wifi problems with new ipad

I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad. It is the wifi only, 64GB model. I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network. I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network. When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network. My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi.
I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question. I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem.
I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms.
Can anyone offer any advice here? This is quite frustrating.

No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Time capsule painfully slow wifi

New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

Download the free iStumbler app to examine the strength of your connection.
If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc. Turn them off temporarily; if you find an offender, move it farther away. See AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for more.
Try different WIFI channels.
