Any way to test the speed of my network?

My network is slow as molasses. Email takes a few minutes to send, netflix and Apple TV movie downloads take hours, etc....
I'm trying to figure out if the slowdown is because of my ISP or my local Airport Express/Airport Extreme setup. I would love to find a utility that lets me measure the speed of my network without the variable of including my internet connection.
For what it is worth, SPEEDTEST and PINGTEST are both giving me an F, even if connecting to servers that are only 50 miles away.

If you are using wireless and you have Mac laptop handy, take some quick measurements at different locations around your home.
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the Transmit Rate number and jot that down.
This represents the maximum speed that your wireless could support at that particular location.
For example, let's say that your Transmit Rate at a given location is 130. This number is expressed in Mbps, so you would have 130 Mbps.
You will find that your network speed is much faster than your internet connection speed, which is limited by the type of service that you have selected. If you have a 6 Mbps service, your internet speed and connection will be limited to that number no matter how fast your network number may be.
Another way of saying the same thing is that your internet connection will always be the bottleneck on your network.

Is there a way to test the Firewire 800 port?

My firewire 800 port seems to no longer work on my Imac. Before bringing the machine to repair, I was wondering if there is any way to test the port, or to reset it. I remember I had a similar issue a few years ago and I could make it work again.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Felix
1. Try resetting the FireWire bus as described in the +What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device+ article below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317?viewlocale=en_US
2. Connect a FireWire device and open your *System Profiler,* then in the Hardware section select FireWire to see if the device is shown on the bus.

I'm on FCPX 10.1.1. Is there a way to change the speed of a keyframe effect? I have still images zooming onto the storyline, but I can't find any way to speed up or slow down the zoom time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to change the speed of a keyframe zoom effect on still photos? Clip duration doesn't seem to change the zoom speed at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Open the video animation (Control-v). In transform>All click and drag the X and Y keyframes (which should be together) – left to speed up the scale change and right to slow it down . It may take a little practice to get this to work (I seldom get it right the first try).
You could do this individually for each clip, or you wanted to adjust multiple clips you can copy and paste attributes to your other other clips.

It's not just you, I can't authorise my phone. It seemed to go down just after I started the update (it wasn't my fault though). I am using chrome, and it does not seem to be a firewall issue, or the bannerblock issue that I read about else where, since I dont have that program installed. Strange though how the support forum is still running. If I go to http://www.apple.com/support I get nothing, but googling topics allows me to see em.

Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no." With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here. When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8. I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

Add
in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite
the registry on startup to point to themselves for VI files, the
following:
RegisterExtensions=False
Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

If I use an SD card for both Windows 7 and Mac, is there any way to see the documents from the Mac sight while on the windows side?

If I use an SD Card on both the windows 7 and Mac OS (using bootcamp), is there any way to see the data seen on the Mac OS side while using the Windows OS?

Windows Aero style uses a different background image than Mac:
Windows Aero:
#nav-bar {
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(253,253,253,0.45), rgba(255,255,255,0));
Mac:
#nav-bar {
background: url(chrome://browser/skin/Toolbar-background-noise.png),
linear-gradient(hsl(0,0%,93%), hsl(0,0%,83%));
I can't test hands on, but you might be able to clear that OSX "fog" using a rule such as:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
background-image: none !important;
background-color: transparent !important;
This could be applied using the Stylish extension or by creating/editing a userChrome.css file.

Any way to customize the headerClick event of an Accordion control

Hi,
Is there any way to control the transition of the accordion
headers. I want a confirm message to appear when a header in an
accordion control is clicked and if the user selects Yes then only
the accordion should open the clicked header portion else the
previous header portion should remain open.
I tried to override the headerClick event and its event
Handler but both are declared as private in the Accordion class
also the event.preventDefault doesnot function. Is there any way to
customize the header click event handling?
I am working on Flex version 2.0.1.

But, as said before, sharing the same session shouldn't give any problems at all. Which problems are you occurring? If you have problems with that they shares the same session, then you are apparently storing values in the session scope while they belongs in the request scope.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your comment.
But if I change the backing bean to session scope, the same problem exists.
And i need to set the userID to session for future reference.
the scenario is like this,
1. I am loading the JSF application in iFrame of a .NET page and the user can invoke multiple instance of the same .Net page in different browser at a time.
2. After loading the JSF application, the server will establish session with the browser and at that time the same session is sharing by the windows.
3. From the JSF page i am again invoking a popup window for a wizard and this popup window will be in the same session with the parent window. So whe we invoke the popup window from the any other JSF page, it will also share the same session although the userid is different
I have tested and the same session cookies are shared among the pages. So we need someway to manage the creation of session. By writting a servletResponseWrapper and overridding the addCookie method will have any effect?
Or can you please suggest some other alternatives?
Regards,
Sudheesh

Any way to restore the ML color coding instead of the tag system in maverick

do not care for the tag system with maverick is there any way to restore the color tagging of the the entire file name with maverick

Path Finder, but may not be finally tested with Mavericks. And every update to the operating system has the potential to render third-party Finder replacement solutions inoperable or unstable.

Is there any way to convert the ImportObject into an image file ?

I have converted a FM document into MIF file format. FM has a grapic imported by copying into the document. In the MIF file I can see the image like the following,
<ImportObject
<Unique 1001019>
<Pen 15>
<Fill 7>
<PenWidth 1.0 pt>
=TIFF
&%v
&II*\x00080000001000FE000400010000000000000000010300010000006009000001010300010000…..
Is there any way to convert the ImportObject inside the mif file into an image file ?

Error 7103,
Regarding Note A and Note B... The Downsample dropdowns list three variations of Downsampling TO, each corresponding to a different downsampling method. When you select one of the Downsampling TO options, then the pixels per inch box allow you to specify the dpi of the downsampled image, the one after the downsampling.
When you select Off, which means do NOT downsample, then the pixels per inch box is meaningless. Maybe it would be a nice interface feature to disable it, but that is another issue. In any event, OFF ignores any value in pixels per inch.
Whenever you import an image into your publishing program (FrameMaker, InDesign, or whatever) and scale it, one can think of the scaled image as having a physical dpi, the number of pixels per physical inch on the "paper." When you specify downsampling in Distiller, the number you specify is most likely less than the physical dpi of the image in the document. It is probably meaningless to specify a number that is larger. I am guessing (and this is a guess) that Distiller does not UPsample images. I have never tested it.
I use 1200 for image recovery.
I assume you are talking about recoverying an image embedded in (copied into) the publishing document. I believe it is sufficient simply to turn downsampling off to create a PDF with the image at the resolution as embedded in the document.
No, one of the settings is to Determine Automatically, which uses the resolution of the image IN the PDF.
Where is that found?
It is NOT in Distiller. It is in Acrobat Professional. (It may or may not be in Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Reader; I do not have them, so do not know.)
The original poster wanted to recover an image copied into a Frame document file. My method is to create a PDF using a Distiller joboption with ALL downsampling and ALL compression OFF. Presumably the image is put into the PDF with all the pixels it has in the Frame file.
THEN in Acrobat PROFESSIONAL, export the image with the setting Determine Automatically. I am presuming (never tested it) this exports ALL the pixels that the image has in the PDF file.

Is there any way to tell the differences between auroras or betas?

There are various arouras and betas released during each rapid release cycles.
Is there any way to tell the differences (changes/fixes) between auroras or betas?
bugzilla can only tell the target for landing but not releases for some of the changes/fixes ...

The Beta builds of a version has about six to twelve with nine being the average in last while until the 34.0 Betas. For Aurora which now currently called Developer Edition has checkins almost everyday so therefore there are updates each of those days.
For Beta builds you can look at http://release.mozilla.org/ and http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/
For Aurora you can look through http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-aurora/
If you want to be a Tester then perhaps http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 may be of interest as many Testers hang out there.

Messages: Is there any way to change the email?

Sorry for the title to not be exactly what I mea, but I couldn't phraze it good enough. So what I am trying to ask on here is if there is any way to make the new Messages beta not show my Apple ID email and maybe something like my phone number? I know my mac is not my phone number, but I was just wondering if something close to that is possible. I was wondering this because I share that ID with the rest of my family and every time someone uses it, you are not too sure of who exactly it is.
Thank You!

Hi,
You can go to Messages menu > Preferences > Accounts and highlight the iMessage ID/Account
On the Account Info side on the right you will find you can change the email (Add one then delete the one that is not the saying it the Caller ID)
As far as I can tell in my testing it has to be another Apple ID.
Having said that I am having issues with an @mac.com name as it is not actually an email and cannot be verified.
I have tried adding a phone number as as it is not an Email you cannot get it to be accepted.

Any way to set the file date?

Hi-
I have recently switched to aperture, and imported my iPhoto library.
When I use the "Pictures" screensaver (the one where the pics fall down, looking like polaroids), all of the dates on them are 1/3/09-- the date that they were imported into the library.
It seems that the screensaver uses the file date, rather than the metadata for the date.
Is there any way to get the file date to match the exif date?
The photos are stored in the aperture library, if that matters.
Alternatively, are there any better screensavers for pictures out there (that would work with the aperture library)
thanks,
-jamie

So here's the thing. I'm still looking and I still can't find it. 'Tis a feature you have that I don't but by the sounds of things it's not much use with aperture anyway!
The issue is as I stated above. The screensaver uses the previews generated by aperture and thus references the creation date of the preview files not the original date taken from the EXIF metadata. Hence your problem. If you export jpegs out of aperture they will have today's creation date which (i' haven't been able to test as I can't find the annotations feature but) will be refernced as such by the screen saver.
So the solutions are twofold (and you have suggested them both):
1) Find a screensaver that reads the exif metadata
2) Turn off the feature.
you may possibly be able to send the contents of your smart folder back to iPhoto see if the screen saver reads it from there?
Sorry I can't be more help.
Anyone else able to chime in here?
M.
