Airport slows down my download speeds

I have an old Airport Express, appr 5-6 yrs. It is slowing my download speeds from 64.5 Mbps to 24 Mbps. Anything I can do?

Insure that there are no physical obstructions between the AirPort Express and your computer.
Temporarily, turn off the cordless phones to see if speeds improve.
The AirPort Express starts heading downhill after about 3 years of operation on average, so your Express may be showing its age.
As a last resort, reset the AirPort back to factory default settings and set it up again.

Why does my mac slow down my download speed?

Hello,
I just bought my macbook pro(retina) and downloaded mozilla firefox ,but it shows that the download speed is 40 KB/s (it should be 140-160 KB/s) any1 can help me?

Yes, i know that but when i download the same thing from the exact same server from my PC the DL speed is 140-160 KB/s (the speed it should be.

How to find out what is slowing down your wireless speed

The first thing you need to do is when setting up your wireless internet is do it right from the beginning. For starters unplug and remove the batteries from all the cordless phones. If you have a wireless door bell or a repeater shut it off and unplug it.. Anything that is wireless in your house needs to be turned off. This also includes cell phones, Ipad's and Ipod's.This thing of telling the homeowner that the mircowave is causing problem is hog wash. But don't have it running while you are setting this up. In other words nothing in your house should be running including the AC and heat. Anything that is pulling hi amperage should be shut down during the set up. Now unplug all cables on the router except for your computer cable and power supply to the router. Hold the reset button in long enough to clear all settings. Now you are ready to set this up right. Sign into your router and go to My Network, if it is showing something other that your main frame computer you still have something on that the router is picking up. Find it and turn if off and reset the router again. Once everything is cleaned and the only this showing up is the computer you are ready. Now go to Speed Net or what ever you check your speed with and write down your average speed. Do three or four speed test to get the average reading. BTW, clear all cookies before you check your speed. Now go back into your router settings and rename you computer to what ever so you won't get that IP address confused with the rest of your hook up. Next take only one of your wireless devices and turn it on. Once the router picks it up rename it and put the security code on for that device to connect to the wireless device. It should also show it as being a wireless device. Also if all your devices can except performance mode go for it because the speeds will always be faster. Also start selecting one channel at a time to find the one that has the fastest speed. Try doing this close to the router, like in the same room. If you are using the performance mode your upload and download should be close to your wired connection. Now go to different parts of the house. You will see some drops but that is normal. Don't do this test on a PS3 or a WII because those speeds will always be slow no matter what you do. All Apple products won't work with Speed Net. Once you get connected to the internet it is always better to go back into your router and write down the assigned IP address and the IP address to the router sign in and manually put them in to each device. Always remember the higher security setting you can set you the faster the speed will be. Do each device as said in the above way. Something else you also might want to do is after you have set up each wireless device go back into your router setting under Wireless settings and disable SSID Broadcast. Only thing this will do is make it to where nobody can see your wireless connection. That way when someone wants to hack your router they won't be able to see it...ya can't hack what ya can't see....lol. Once you get all said wireless devices set up and connected then go back and start turning on phones...ect..ect. If you are truly getting interference you will be able to change the channel on either that device or change the channel on the router for that device. Most of the devices in this day and time should be able to except the 802.11n or the next letter down.The bad thing about the newest Verizon router is the security is still outdated for the PS3. Part two of this is Sony is still using a crap-o-la wireless internet receiver, as a result I don't care what cha do unless you hard wire it in and that still only helps some. Also this thing of putting your router on the window seal or up near the ceiling is also poo poo. If this was a true case why not just hook up a High Def antenna in the room...lol Also this thing of stating don't put the router near a wall is also doo doo. Their would have to be a load of copper wire in that wall to prevent a signal from going through it. If you think about it all wall electrical outlets are wired low to the floor. They take one room and wire them all together. They don't wire it up and down the walls. So most rooms have the wiring a foot from the floor.The most wire you will find in a house at one location is at the circuit breaker box and the box should be on a outside wall in the garage. In older homes like the 40's and 50's some are in the kitchen or a bedroom closet. On the older homes try and steer clear of those locations. Now if you are getting interference from something in your home this will be a easy way to find it. One thing Verizon needs to stop telling it's customer and that is if you get a faster speed which is more money it will correct your wireless problem...hog wash Once you spend your hard earned money and sign the contract, they forget to tell you they only guarantee that speed if it is hard wired...lol for some reason they always forget that part.

I forgot to suggest one more thing. On your computer go to start/ run/ type in MSCONFIG and go all the way to the right and click start up and then at the bottom select disable all and then reboot. Windows will only load what it need to operate. After that go back into MSCONFIG and go back to the start up and put a check into what ever security program you are using and reboot. Everything will still work fine. The only thing you are doing here is not running all the programs each time you turn your computer on.What this will do if you do this is it will start programs faster and it also is less wear and tear on your pooter. If you want to see what I am talking about go here>> http://www.blackviper.com/ and he will explain and show in full detail what I am talking about as far as being robbed by unnecessary programs running in the back ground. He will also explain the correct way of disabling things that you will never use. MS is set up for remote operation. Like calling your pooter from a phone which I am pretty sure most don't use that feature. If you want to see what happens when you go to any site while surfing download the free copy of CrapCleaner, run it and let it remove all the internet clutter and cookies, then go to one site and close IE down and rerun CrapCleaner again. You will then see what is really slowing down your internet speed. If you are using Windows 7 or 8 you need to go to Control Panel/ Taskbar and Start Menu/ then select Start menu again/ Customize/ and scroll down to Run Command and check it. Now you will be able to see the run command. I don't know why MS removed that feature.

How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
Thanks!

Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
Much appreciated.
Paul

I am trying to convert a video clip so that i can slow down the clip speed, but i keep getting an error -34. any ideas?

I am trying to convert a video clip, already in imovie so that I can slow down the clip speed, but I keep getting an error -34. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks

Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
thanks

hey all
Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
Retime>Fast 2X
Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
Test video complete.
(You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
My mind is melting

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Can i slow down the music speed?

how do i slow down the song speed while im listening to it, please help. =D

What I usually do is set a marker for every beat. Then I can go back and edit my clips to the markers, and it syncs up with the music. Course it might be kind of hard to set 15 markers in one second...
On the other hand, Capt. Mench's technique is definitely a good one. A fantastic one, actually. Markers would just be another method of doing it.
(On a side note, that video is awesome, Captain. Especially using the brackets to trim. I never knew about that. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for posting it, David.)
Good luck, B, and hope one of these methods works for you.
jesse.

I've extended my Time Capsule wifi via Airport Express and the download speed is still super slow

I get an average of 80Mbps download speed when close to the Time Capsule. When I got upstairs in the house the download speed drastically drops. So I decided to extend the wifi range using an Airport Express. See image below. I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?

I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?
Well, the first rule that you need to remember is that when you "extend" using wireless.....you will have a drop in the potential speed on the network. So, while you might have more "range" for the network, the network speed will drop. Nothing that you can really do about that other than connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection. There will be no speed loss over the Ethernet cable, so the Express should deliver approximately the same speed as the Time Capsule.
The next rule is that when a device "extends" using wireless, it can only extend the quality and speed of the signal that it receives. A speed "boost" will not appear.
Try locating the Express about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Anything that you can do to minimize obstructions between the Time Capsule and Express and on to the other area will help.....but you will never get close to the performance of connecting the AirPorts using an wired Ethernet cable.
Unfortunately, Apple really doesn't tell you very clearly, if at all, about important things like the two rules above.

Are other people's sites suffering from slow .Mac (IWeb) download speeds?

Here is the site:
http://web.mac.com/laneos/iWeb/The%20Triad%20Institute/Triad%20Home.html
Several people have remarked on the slow download speeds, especially the top links on pages other than the homepage.
Please send reactions/advice on how this can be remedied. Thanks!

I don't think .Mac is the problem. The problem is that Apple chose to use the PNG format for all graphics on your page, instead of the standard web graphic format: JPEG. This means that images, such as your rollover links in the top navigation (these are graphics, not text) are much, much larger than they need to be as far as file size. Anyone accessing your site on dialup or other narrowband connection is going to find your site takes a long, long time to load. Every graphic on your pages is being converted to PNG, which is an uncompressed format. There is NOTHING you can do about this at the moment, except Complain to Apple using this Feedback Form.
Don't just complain on this forum, because Apple doesn't officially monitor or respond to user's posts here. But they do promised to read the feedback you provide on the aforementioned form.
This issue of large files and slow download speeds caused me to totally abandon iWeb one week after I bought and started using it. My wife created a beautiful family site, but I pulled it down after testing on a dialup connection. It totally choked the browser--just on a simple home page. A friend waited 8 minutes for the home page to load, and then gave up. I'm just not prepared to anger my visitors to that extent.

Can you use developer tools to slow down the CPU speed?

I'd like to slow down my MBP processor speeds when I'm just browsing the web and reading emails. Can you do this with the developer tools that you get with your MBP?
I know there is an app that does this called "CoolBook." Has anybody used it?
Mark

Well, you can do anything with the developer tools for OSX, but there is not tool like CoolBook. If you want to find the malloc holes in NeoOffice, install the developer tools. If you want to underclock your machine, use something else.
CoolBooks is probably a great idea (though I haven't used it). Just remember that the CPU is only part of the story and that screen brightness, airport, built-in ethernet, and peripherals play a big role in battery life. The elephant in the closet is also the GPU. I haven't ever seen anything about underclocking the GPU, but that thing takes up some serious juice as well.

Airport slows down after the latest update !

I have a ibook running the latest version of the masOs . After doing a automatic software update ( if I recollect it did a MacOs and Airport update - the computer has slowed down and access the wireless networks with great difficulty ! How do we resolve this problem or go back to the earlier version ?

What kind of difficulty accessing wireless networks?
I've experienced no such problems.
Did you quit all running applications before installing the 10.4.6 update? I always quit all running applications before installing any OS, Software or Security updates.
Before installing a major OS Update such as 10.4.6, I always check my hard drive for any directory problems with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from my Tiger install disc.
As a first step, I suggest Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption for system troubleshooting procedures and when doing so, follow all steps/instructions in the order provided.
To revert to an earlier 10.4 x version such as 10.4.5 will require re-installing 10.4 via your 10.4 install package (archive & install selecting preserve user and network settings) and then update to the chosen version only.

WRT150N Slow Win 7 Download Speed

My new Windows 7 desktop and laptop both have slow download speed over wireless, about 1mbps, hard wired they both run about 10mbps. Upload they go 3mbps. My 2 yr old Vista laptop can consistently get 10mbps wireless download.
I took the windows 7 laptop to Best Buy and they were able to run 7 mbps download.
I have played with all my Wireless Router settings based on searches I have performed here without success. I'm guessing the WRT150N can't support something going on with Windows 7.
Anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks

I had same prob. Found this and it worked for me. the only thing I changed were the transmission rate speeds under the advanced setting. Mine only had 130 Mbps for the wirless N setting not 162 mbps, but it worked for me. I hope it works for you. I have been messing with this prob for weeks now. Such a relief!!
Finally I have some success to write about.
After a few months of fiddling with settings and being very frustrated, I think I finally have hit upon something that appears to be working....for me, at least.
Yesterday, I talked with Linksys Support via LiveChat. They recommended that for the WRT150N router---on the Advanced Wireless Settings Tab, that I change the DTIM to 3, and the RTS Threshold and Fragementation settings to 2304.......and also change (RTS and Frag) them on the wireless card (WPC300N).
So, I did that and didn't notice any real improvement. My wireless reception--while the card says 'Excellent'--had speeds varying from 1Mbps to 216Mpbs...seemingly at random intervals.....no rhyme or reason.
Then I came across an obscure thread in some forum while Googling this topic. It recommended that you change your 'N Transmission Rate' to 162Mbps. Mine had been on AUTO, as was the regular 'Transmission Rate' for the "G" laptops on my network.
So I promptly changed both of those settings from AUTO to 54Mbps and 162Mbps respectively......and BINGO.....since I have done that, my speed from the card hasn't dropped lower than 108Mbps. It stays around 243Mbps and often will stay at 270Mbps when I am streaming something.
Don't know how long this will last, but its been the best 12 hours since I purchased the WRT150N and the WPC300N.
Hope this helps anyone else out there!
Sincerely,
Stan

Suspected Malware slowing computer and Download speed?

I've done a little research and found out that certain malware on macs can be obtained through certain downloading sites. My computer is becoming slower and slower and download speed is being affected by something ( tested speed 2.3MB/s but the speed im getting is 40-100Kb/s ) both of which seem to be traits of malware or other viruses? Download speeds used to be higher and are still high other macs on the same connection. Ive tried downloading and running BitDeffender Virus Scanner and it found 4 problems, 2 of which where deleted, 1 quarantined and the last roams my computer free, but nothing improved anyway. Is my iMac infected, if so how to i remove the infection?
( its only 5 months old and is running 10.10.1 if that helps)

Please provide an EtreCheck report of your computer. However the first thing I will tell you is to uninstall (following the developers instructions) any antivirus, cleaning or other third party maintenance applications. Not only are these 100% useless some (most antivirus apps) tend to create more problems than they solve. There are zero viruses for OS X, however there is some malware out there that antivirus will not find. To avoid the small amount of malware out there takes just a small amount of common sense.
Common sense primer!
NEVER download from a torrent! Next do not fall for any popups, ads, e-mails or phone calls that advise your computer has been compromised. These are SCAMS!!!!!!! Next is do not download anything from a site you do not 100% trust. That's it, it is that simple.
Finally keep your Mac up-to-date!!!

Very Slow HH 5 Download Speed

Hello,
Please can someone give me some advice. My broadband speed is incredibly slow.
