Airport Speed Problems : Possible Solution ?

Ok... here is what i observed :
If you launch the Terminal and ping your Router, you will observe this rather curious sympton : EACH TIME you click on the Airport Status Icon in the menu bar, the ping timing is strongly affected !
So, i tried this solution : in the Network Preferences Pane, i have disabled the "Automatically Add New Wireless Networks To The List" option (Options button in the Airport Preference Pane).
The result is that the problem seems to have almost compety disappeared.
Just my 2 cents...
Fred.

Forgot to say that i also applied what Bill said in a previous post :
...While I have a MacBook Pro. I was having the same issue that is reported here. I have an Airport Extreme Base and a Linksys WRT55AG routers. With the Airport Extreme Base I was getting the long delay pings and it would disconnect quite often. When I would do a Ping test I would also get around 16 percent packet loss for 50 pings. Seeing as I noticed that there were 5 other routers being picked up by the MacBook Pro I decided to hook the Linksys router to 802.11A. With that setup no more packet losses. However, I was still getting some pings that were fairly long. So I changed the following:
Beacon Interval: 90 (Default: 100, Milliseconds, Range: 1 - 65535)
RTS Threshold: 2200 (Default: 2347, Range: 0 - 2347)
Fragmentation Threshold: 2200 (Default: 2346, Range: 256 - 2346
This resolved the ping issue. I am using WPA, not broadcasting SSID and utilizing MAC filtering.

XFI "no supported hardware" problem possible solut

I purchased my xfi about 4 months ago & has worked flawlessly until 2 days ago. Kept giving me the dreaded "no supported hardware" error along with BSOD's, etc... . Tried all the possible solutions in the FAQ, updated bios, changed, diff pci slot, reinst xp,?on & on...no luck. Was about to go return the card when I stumbled on this link selling the card:?http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=42270II noticed this at the botom of the ad:Please note: On some systems it is advisable to connect the XFi Card to a Floppy Dri've Power Connector in order to give maximum performance, this is done using the 4 pins on the top edge of the card. As this is an OEM card it does not come with a cable for this but most power supplies are fitted with a spare floppy power connector.
So figuring i had nothing to lose i plugged it in & lo & behold it all works perfectly again. I found nowhere in manual or help about plugging this in but I thought sharing this might help someone. Maybe it will fry my card eventually but it seems to have solved my problem for now. I suspect that maybe my pci bus isnt providing enough voltage for the card now but everythig seems fine. Oh, here is my general specs:?Gigabyte Socket 939 AGP Motherboard, Athlon64 3500+ CPU, Nvidia 6800GT AGP, 550W Power Supply

Airport Speed Problems

Well i have a download speed of 5 mp/sec wich is fine with me because at the biginig youtube bufferig time was really short even wth 720p videos but now something happens with my aiport extreme that causes that ONLY youtube's videos load slow. If i run a speed test, it sais that i have a 4.9 mps but when i try to load a video takes forever even with 340p.
I have an aiport express that i use to expand my wifi and y tryed to use it to create a network and with that network created by the aiport express youtube's videos load super fast, like old times.
The fireware of the aiport extreme is 7.6.1.(The computer isnt the problem because with other wirless networks youtube loads fast as always, and isnt the modem Becuase if i connect my macbook pro directly to it, youtube also loads fast). Can somebody help me?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

HT1414 I updated to iOS 6.1.3 a while ago, but recently noticed I can't access wifi (when the wifi off/on switch is frayed out) does. Anyone know a possible solution to this problem.

This problem occurred in the last few weeks and is a real downer for me because I like apple products but if I can't use wifi then I can't do my work or use much data Any possible solutions will help. Thanks

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions?

Adobe Acrobate XI and SecCommerce SecSigner have a problem during signing of a document, creating/verification of the signature is not possible - solutions? SecSigner is not responding.

Well, I contacted SecCommerce about the issue, the response was, that I should sign the file later (afterwards). This is a solution, but not the best in my opinion.
When I sign the document the SecSigner window/Java window appears and freezes. Adobe is not responding. I have to terminate Adobe because the program is not responding.
I only found this support website, so I have realized that this is a User 2 User site, but it was a try to get some help.

Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite.

You're welcome. Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway. I always import them to my computer at least weekly. That way I know I have them.
You might want to check out the app PhotoSync. It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

This worked for me, sort of. A while back when I downloaded that windows update that installed the new version of IE, I noticed that IE wouldn't connect to the internet and pages wouldn't load. However, I thought nothing of it because I use Firefox and FF was working just fine.
I went into IE earlier this evening (it still wasn't working) and tried to follow your recommended steps. I got up to step 4 and IE froze. I tried closing it, reopening it and repeating the steps but it would always freeze at step 4. In another thread, someone was saying that iTunes released a security update and that fixed the store for them so I tried opening Apple Software Update and that froze. I tried it several times, nothing. Would always freeze. I even tried updating thru iTunes and IT would freeze.
Finally, I went to the control panel and uninstalled IE7. The iTunes store and the Apple Software Update program are now working! So thank you very much for your suggestion. Otherwise, it may have never clicked with me that IE was the problem.

Possible solution to airplay audio problem

Fist of all, sorry for my english.
I had the next problem, videos from itunes or youtube works fine, but when I tried to stream only audio, from ipod aplication or spotify it doesn´t work. Some times make a little noise, other times the conexion returns to the iphone or ipad...ant many times the wifi of the phone or the ipad hangs, and have to reboot...
I´ve tried many things, with two diferent routers (both of them wireless n), different configurations, open ports, went to the genius bar, even broke a router (it hangs and there wasn´t any way to restore, even with a hard reset)...
Finally, today it starts to work. What I did is:
1. Change wifi channel to 9.
2. Disable WSC setup in my router configuration.
3. I think this is the most important: enable WMM (wifi multimedia) on the configuration of my router. It´s a comtrend model, maybe this is called in another way in other router configuration.
4. And reset my apple tv (menu+down 5 secs).
Probably it´s not necesary to make all these steps, looks like point 3 is the different from previous attempts...
So check your WMM router configuration and try.
Hope it helps.

Intresting notes... When you download album artwork from iTunes it really doesn't add it to the MP3 track, it stores it elsewhere and assoicates it internally some how to the album. Where as adding a artwork in through the actual file will change the size of your MP3 track, by embedding the artwork into it so that other apps (like windows media) can see them.
That would be an interesting find if that is indeed the case.... Furthermore if that solves the problem, than apple should have an easy fix on thier hands.
However, since most of my music is direct downloads from iTunes and has the artwork directly embedded into the music files like I mentioned above that might be why I've never encountered the issues.... As I found out about this quirk a while back, because some of the tracks on the PC or on my iPod would never show the album cover before...
Hopefully someone else with the same problem can help confirm this possible solution!

Possible solution to book uploading problem

I posted this as a reply to TM2 ... redundancy is sometimes very helpful ...
I ran into the same problem in last couple of weeks ... deadline for books and all.
I too gave up trying with Aperture and used BLUR's BookSmart, thinking that it may be a solution re overcoming problems with uploading (Aperture/Apple not providing useful solutions for me) .... but, ran into same problem - I was not able to upload finished book and got same msg re error and request to check my ISP connection, etc ... finally, I called Comcast re possibly a problem with their router or something like it ... I got very lucky and connected with someone who was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and accessible ... SOLUTION: bi-pass the Belkin 54g ... hook up CPU ethernet connection directly to cable router - BINGO! ... Belkin seems to be the potential cause for problem: It most likely needs firmware update - checked their web site and there is one available .... in time will upload it.
Hope this helps and it is same solution for Aperture trouble's re uploading issues, etc ... Merry Christmas.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

OS X 10.9 freeze when WiFi is turned off (POSSIBLE SOLUTION)

Hi, I just found a possible solution for this problem: my MacBook Pro freeze completely (without the spinning beach ball) after I turn off WiFi.
I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch late 2007 (MacBookPro3,1 - A1229), with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card, running OS X 10.9.
What happened:
- I updated the OS from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5
- My Mac started freezing everytime after login, I don't remember if WiFi was on or off
- Reverted back 10.8.4, thank you Time Machine!
- Updated to OS X 10.9
- Everything was OK, but then I did some work in my home and I had to turn off the modem
- Modem was off, so I decided to turn off also the AirPort card on my MacBook Pro
- After a couple of seconds my computer completely stopped responding, trackpad and keyboard were useless, the UI froze
- After pressing the power button I managed to shutdown the Mac and then start it up again
- Now after the startup process I was stuck in loop: WiFi was still off and I had few seconds to login, wait for my account to load and turn on WiFi from the menubar icon; I failed countless times!
- In an attempt to slow down the Mac and earn some more seconds I did a PRAM reset and logged in with the Shift key pressed (after typing my password)
- I managed to turn WiFi on and looked immediatly for clues on Console logs:

This is what happen to my Mac when I turn off the AirPort card; I don't know if "Google Drive" or "libdispatch client" are the problem, but quitting Google Drive solved this madness.
Hope this helps.

Re: MacBook Pro (2007) 3,1 & 10.8.5 freezing

I'm experiencing a similar issue.
In my case, a conflicting kext (kernel extension) from a vitual machine (VirtualBox) was causing an immediate freeze after turning Wi-Fi off. After disabling the kext's scripts, I can now disable Wi-Fi safely but if I reboot then the system hangs at radom instances of boot sequence (for example while showing the apple logo, or at the login screen or a few seconds after entering the password).
I can only boot in single user mode (command-option-S) so after looking around a way to turn on WiFi from the command line, I ended up using a daemon (boot script) that turns on WiFi before anything else happens (at least as soon as the airport card is running).
In any case, I left the instructions here, just for reference.
The script should be created in /Library/LaunchDaemons
It can have any name with "plist" extension, I choosen "com.fixwifi.wifion.plist"
To create the file type: nano /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fixwifi.wifion.plist
Enter the following text (it's a lot of text, I know, but it is better than nothing):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.fixwifi.wifion</string>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <dict>
            <key>SuccesfulExit</key>
            <false/>
        </dict>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
            <string>networksetup</string>
            <string>-setairportpower</string>
            <string>en1</string>
            <string>on</string>
        </array>
    <key>StartInterval</key>
    <integer>2</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
When finished, type "ctrl-x", then "y" to save and enter. Reboot.
This script will:
- try to power on the en1 interface as soon as the script loads
- if it fails (because the interface is not running yet), will try to turn it on every two seconds
- once the interface is on (exit is succesful), then unload the script.
Note that this script assumes the airport interface is named "en1". It can also work with the word "airport" (at least in my tests).
Good luck!
