10.9.3 update slow buffering to ATV

After updating to 10.9.3 I am experinceing very slow buffering speeds to ATV 3rd gen.
Both devices are running over a gigabit network. I dont understand why the speeds will have dropped? Is there anything that can be done to fix this.

Hello TimHackett,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning Airplay:

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

Shock Player has slow buffering time of 50 seconds

i looked in add-ins for internet explorer 7 and i do not have
adobe flash player but i do have shockwave flash object publisher:
adobe systems incorporated, enabled, activex control,
Flash10a.ocx... it is installed and active. it does not say (not
verified) before adobe so it must be verified.
i notice the adobe activex control does not show in the list
in this browser window when i go to tools, manage add-ons, enable
or disable add-ons... but on a another web page where i have a
linked youtube video in it does show in that browser window, same
list.
my problem is that Shock Player has slow buffering time of 50
seconds, for every websites video it has the slow load time.
any ideas?

This forum is for the Director Shockwave Player, not the
Flash Player.
I'm sure there's a forum out there somewhere for Flash Player

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Apple TV - painfully slow buffering

Hi,
I bought an ATV2 last year and it was very responsive, even though my Internet connection at home isn't great (max of 5Mbps). When the ATV3 came out I upgraded to it and for a while it worked fine. However, over the past few months buffering movies has taken so long (typically two hours until they're even ready to play), I've practically given up on them. I've tried lowering video quality (right down to Standard Definition), but this doesn't seem to make any difference. I've also tried re-starting, reseting and restoring the ATV, and fiddling around with the network settings, but this hasn't made any difference either. Netflix content streams fine and at a good quality, it's just iTunes content that's the problem. Looking online, I can see that lots of other users have been reporting similar issues, with some pointing the finger of blame at the last major ATV software update. This certainly seems to tie in with what I've experienced, since I've not changed any aspect of my network setup recently, but have updated the ATV software. Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

I am in Florida, and have a comcast business account and get download speeds of 22mbps (as tested).
The Apple tv is hooked directly into the modem with ethernet.
We have tried about 6 different routers with apple TV and none of them make the Apple Tv perform without stuttering and buffering. So we decided to use direct hook up.
I have called Apple repetitively because when trying to watch a trailer/preview, the preview stops and the buffering starts.
This will also happen when watching movies.
Lowering TV resolution to 600x480 does not help either.
Apple fail to tell me where their Itunes servers are located, so it's impossible to do a traceroute to see if there's a problem on the way.
Desperate with this situation I opened a DSL account with Centurylink :same problem!!
It seems that Apple should fix their Apple TV product before placing a product on the market that does not perform as stated.
We took this a step further, and purchased a few Apple Tv's which we are setting up with different Internet providers to see what the results are.
You may think I have nothing better to do, but I'm building a case against Apple and shall get to the bottom of this. There are no excuses for placing faulty products on the market.

Apple TV slow buffering of ITunes Library

This is a recent development. I have owned and operated two Apple TV's 2 now over two years without any issue till 2 weeks ago.
While both my Apple TV's connect to my ITunes Library without issue. Both ATV's are having considerable trouble buffering my home movie video collection as well as music on ITunes Library. It is taking upwards of 4 hours to buffer a movie currently.
I have restarted my Mac Mini, both ATV's, and rebooted my home network (router). I have shut down and restarted home sharing as well.
1. All other apps are working fine. Netflix no problem...
2. Wi-Fi Signal Strength is good.
3. Actually even my IPhone 6 and IPads are having issues buffering content from ITunes Library.
Any advise?

Hi Chilipistol,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds to me like you are using Home Sharing to view content on your Apple TV, but the content is loading a lot slower than you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article, especially steps 4 and beyond.

Wifi Working OK, MBP after 10.4.8 update SLOW!

Hi all!
Right after I upgraded to 10.4.8 the Airport connectiom on my MBP is really slow. I used to get 700kbps speeds, but know i´m at 45kbps!!!
I tried the "delete preferences" tip found on these boards, but it did not work in my user account.
I then created a new user account, and Airport connected at full speed. It has to be some software issue, so i tried to delete all prefs I could find in my original account regarding Airport or network, but it still hasn´t improve.
I must say i have never had any issues with Airport on my MBP, it has always worked flawlessy until right after the update.
Any ideas??? thank you.

two ideas that have already been mentioned:
- do you use coconut wifi? quit it / delete it al a startup item (preferences -> user -> select yourself -> startup items (that's how it might be called in English^^)
- try switching the router's channel (might be helpfull to use a cable-conncetion while doing that): load your router's setuppage (usually the component's name such as fritz.box or (in my case) ssx553, or try your IP and replace the final digit with a 1) than go to wifi, channels. Switching it to "auto" helped in my case, a friend of mine had good experiences with channel 11.
Hope this will help (I am NO computer expert and pretty new to the mac^^)

9.3.2 update slows Windows Explorer?

I installed the latest update to Adobe Acrobat (9.3.2) on April 26, 2010. Ever since, Windows Explorer (in Windows 7 Professional on an Intel Core2 Duo P9500 2.53GHz 64-bit with 4.00 GB RAM Lenovo T400) has been incredibly slow. When I try to navigate through my drives, Explorer hangs for minutes until it evenutally opens the file I've selected?
Could the two be related?

IPhoto orders photos using a SQLite database structure - much more up to date and much more powerful than an antique file based organization. If you do not want the organizational and search power of a SQL database then the answer is really simple. Do not use it and go back to your old fashioned methods. No one forces you to use iPhoto
As to why? The event sort is wrong and you need to set it to the sort you want. View menu ==> event sort

Why does photo stream not update latest photos to ATV?

Noticed this weekend when I posted photos from my iPhone, iPad, or iMac to photo stream all my devices immediately updated all devices with the new pictures from iCloud, my apple TV does not do this anymore. I needed to turn off photo stream in settings and then turn on photo stream to get the new pictures. It used to be automatic like all my other Apple products.

This issue is has been resolved. The updates are much slower that to an iPad or iPhone however it is now automatically updating without any manipulation.

Slow buffering of purchased content

I bought two TV series for iTunes, The Walking Dead and American Pickers. The former is in HD and the latter in standard. I don't have a problem watching American Pickers, but The Walking Dead is almost impossible to watch without getting frustrated due to the way the ATV buffers the content. There is only about two minutes of play time before the show catches up with the buffer and pauses for a minute while another two minutes is buffered. I went into iTunes and increased the streaming buffer size to Large, but that didn't seem to affect it. Is there any solution to this? I even tried pausing the show, letting the buffer build up a sizable lead, and then playing the show. The show still caught up to the buffer and paused to reload! This is incredibly annoying and pretty much prevents any enjoyment of the show. I'm using an Apple Time Capsule (first gen) as my Router. The iTunes library is on an external hard drive connected to my laptop, which initially I thought might be an issue--but I think the issue is actually with HD content. Standard def files and Netflix play fine.

I use an Airport extreme (802.11n just like your TC) and have no problems with 720p content using 5.1 sound. Since this only occurs on your LAN WiFi with purchased content that is streaming from iTunes to your ATV2 as I understand you post.....there are two suggestions: check your cabling to the peripheral holding the iTunes library. and second eliminate other use of the network when you are streaming (although it makes no difference for me)....Or maybe consider an ethernet connection to the ATV2.........even if you can't run a cable several devices are available that let you use your home wiring for and ethernet connection that will of course be more than fast enough.

Latest Update slows down all activity

My recent automatic software update included an update to Safari. I can now have favorite sites show on screen among other things. What I really like is that my Safari browser is as slow as any PC product I have used in the past few years. Of course I would really prefer my Mac to work like a Mac. Is there some way for me to undo this latest and greatest upgrade?

Unless you have a Time Machine or bootable clone backup the answer is no.
Have a read of this thread and try the suggestions.

Any security update slow-down problem occuring ???

hi all,
My macbk has slowed to a crawl on the net. connecting from one site to another takes up to 20 seconds. I've done permissions / onyx/ scripts/ reset safari & camino /cleared browser caches and each time it speeds up a bit but within a few minutes online it's slow again. hangs up initially at "looking for..." in the bottom bar and shows highlighted bar hung right before "www". OR at the "go to" / "contacting" stage at the same WWW
The only thing I can think that I did at about the time it began slowing down was , using software update (which I rarely use- normally download directly from the apple site, but got momentarily lazy!).
My Techtool pro is 4.2.1 and won't run on my intel apparently - or so it says in the dialogue box and when I try to download and install the incremental update it says it can't find where to install. so I am stuck with out it at the moment.
If it weren't so rare I would think I had a WORM. but that IS rare on a mac I think.
so thinking about possible linked problems with that security update.
anyone heard of any problems ?
I do have applecare, so if all else fails I can call them I guess

You're Welcome Sue!
I forgot about some of the cool options in the Safari View contextual menu, so thanks to your previous post, I took a look.
I haven't been exploring my system enough lately!

Win 7 update "slow performance" relating to the font cache

For those of you having font, slow print and/or PDF problems on Win 7 (or Win2008 Server), both x86 and x64:
I just came across an MS support posting about a hotfix that might *** emphasis MIGHT *** be of interest to you.
The specific reason is that the hotfix includes an update to our old friend "fntcache.dll" that FM definitely does use.
Disclaimer: I am not an Adobe representative. I do not speak for Adobe. I have no specific knowledge whether this might indeed affect FM or of which version(s) of FM it might apply to. I have not tested this myself. If you install this hotfix you are completely on your own. As always, please ensure you have adequate backups.
IMPORTANT NOTE: please do take notice of the "Known Issue" section in the description, saying "After you install ... a second hotfix for an updated version of another driver may be necessary".
If any of you do test this, would you kindly post back here with your results either way.

Adobe applications do not use the interface for which specified hot fix is designated for. It may fix Internet Explorer 9 printing, but not any printing or PDF creation from FrameMaker or any other Adobe applications.
