Anyone else seeing better-than-ever speeds?

I was reconfiguring an old Win XP laptop this evening and when I was about done I ran a test on speedtest.net to see how the configuration was performing. I was surprised to see better than ever download speeds. I ran the same test on my Win 7 desktop machine and got the same results and then almost exactly the same numbers on the FiOS speedtest.
Speeds were: 43.12 Mb/s down; 31.96 Mb/s up.
I'm paying for 35/20. I've always seen better than 20 mb/s up but my downstream has always been consonantly right at 35 mb/s. I'm sure not complaining, but I'm curious. Is anyone else seeing this spike in downstream? And can anyone speculate what might be behind it?
edit: By way of a further test I just download a 699 MB Ubuntu distro file. The download ran under 2 minutes at a rock solid and steady 5.3 MB/s. Whew. I like it.

Yes I was wondering about this too. i am getting over 30mbps download on my 25/25 connection. Good job verizon, you guys are looking like a pretty cool company now.

Upgrade to IOS 6 has caused everything to slow down, noticeably..ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS PARTICULARLY ON MY MAC

Is anyone else seeing this noticeable slow down?
Ever since the IOS 6 , at least since then, everything slows down and nothing is wrong, just nothing is any where near as fast as it used to be... Other friends who have macs also say the same....
Is there a fix coming or something to restore thiings back to normal.

Allan,
Just about everything...The internet is slow and I have a very fast FIOS connection 25 up and down....
You click on something, i.e. a bookmark and it takes a while for it to do anything...Dock items seem to react slower to open, it is like it thinking about it before anything happens....
Not sure how to describe it, but several friends have said the exact same thing...even on our Ipads...
Do you see nothing slower?

Aperture and DNG. Anyone else seeing this?

I shoot a lot of RAW images and some of them on a camera that is not currently supported by Aperture (Panasonic DMC FZ8). When I convert those RAW images to DNG, Aperture displays them perfectly in the import preview. When I import them to a project, Aperture displays them for a few seconds. Then they disappear only to be replaced by the usual blank red image placeholder and the message "Unsupported Image Format". If the program can display these images for 5 or 10 seconds why not permanently?
Anyone else seeing this? If so is there a way to manage these images in Aperture? I like the program, but it's difficult using one app for RAW images and another for the rest. Any news (rumors) as to when Apple may be updating the supported camera list?
Thanks
Joe

Aperture only supports DNG from cameras that it supports the RAW file from, so your Panasonic DNGs are not supported. What you are seeing is simply the embedded JPEG that flicks on until Aperture realizes it is not a supported file.

Anyone else seeing a sudden uptick in SPAM making it through their Ironports?

Quick question:
We updated our C170 to 8.5.6-092 last week, and since then we've seen a massive increase in SPAM making it through our Ironport undetected.
I've read some updates here re: SBRS and repengine issues after an 8.5.6-092 update, and have investigated these (both are OK) but nonetheless I am curious if others are seeing the same thing.
What I'd like to know is if these are just a new spam campaign that is making it through the Ironport filters, or if we have an actual technical issue after the 8.5.6-092 upgrade that I'm missing.

In general, we're seeing spam with the following characteristics:
1) many originate from, or contain links to, .link domains
2) SBRS on these are clear (-1, -2) and gets a pass on the SBRS check
3) Sample subjects:
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Exclusive: Enrollment Plans from Blue-Cross, Humana, and AARP.
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Re: Someone has run-a-background scan on you. See-your results #190860649
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Alert:Someone ran your background-scan. Read the results #1609820.01
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Ford Cuts Prices to Make Quotas.
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Website May Expose Your Arrest Records. (see details)
SENDER:    [email protected]
SUBJECT:    Re: Your background-report may have been viewed on 10/03/14
4) Furthermore, many contain .link URL's in the content, and the newly added URLscanning seems to be giving these a total pass, too.
Some samples: http://signupnow.growingmedicareprovider.link , http://detailshere.largelycarsavings.link etc.
We're playing wack-a-mole with individual rules for subjects and .link domains, i.e. to flag and quarantine these as they come in, but I'd like to know if anyone else seeing this, or just me?

Hello Bryan,
Ideally for us to diagnose if there is a possible fault in your IronPort or with misconfiguration we would need you configuration file, complete message tracking information and also the actual samples which are passing the device.
Thus i would like to recommend you to open a Cisco TAC case with us so we can be of assistance.
In terms of the information provided (there maybe some other variables to consider as well).
I would suggest firstly running this command on your device if not already done.
CLI > updatenow force
Let the systems update all services again.
Continue to monitor.
These server IPs if they continue to send such emails their IP's will hit a blacklist.
However at this point, there are too many variables in place that can affect the scanning of these emails and reasons why they're passing.
EDIT:
8.5.6-092 revision corrects the SBRS connection that was witnessed in -074 as per the release notes.
Regards,
Matthew

Full screen playback in PE9 garbled - anyone else see this?

I mentioned this in a general post but I'll make it a specific question now -
When I click on the "full screen" button near the top right of the interface, full screen playback has a corrupted area which corresponds with where the timescale is on the normal interface. Sometimes the playback cursor "breaks through" as a black vertical line too.
Does anyone else see this?
I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed. Windows XP Pro SP3 Q9300 quad core PC 2GB memory.
Thanks for any observations.

It's very obvious if you do have the problem - a wide strip of the video (horizontal, matching the timescale hidden beneath the full screen display) gets shifted sideways somewhat (flickering on and off), so that any vertical object in the footage gets displaced sideways at that point in an obvious juddering fashion. I tried to do a screen grab but simply doing that makes the problem change - it is more evident when the footage is running than when frozen.
Anyway, adjusting the Windows Display Properties "hardware acceleration" slider, moving it to the left till it is set to the point where the message beneath reads "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleraions. Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications" seems to fix the problem.
Graphics card is a GeForce 8600 GT, in case that's relevant.
At least I know how to work around the problem. Let's see if others come across the same problem in due course. Maybe it's just a local issue.

I am seeing Item Not Available in the U.S. store for iTunes music on the iPhone 6Plus. Is anyone else seeing this?
The other sections of the iTunes store seem to have errors as well.

I've seen a couple of other threads in the last 10 minutes posting about problem with the store, both have now replied saying that it's working again for them - you could give it another go and see if it's now ok for you

All v8 files saved from Illustrator CC seem to be corrupt - anyone else see this?

Hi There,
I've tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to import an illustrator file into Cinema4D which requires me to save a v8 eps - but when I try to import, nothing happens.
At first I hought it was a C4D issue but if I:
Create a new Illustrator file in CC
Export v8 eps
Try to open the newly created v8 eps in Illustrator CC
Then I see the following error:
"Can't open the Illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. Offending operator: {eps_metadata_stream} Context: ZA"
I've tried the following steps to reproduce the issue on two different Macs (10.8.4 and 10.8.5) and see the same error each time:
Create a new blank file (print intent)
Create a text box and type some text
Convert all text to paths
Save as Illustrator v8
Does anyone else see this issue in Illustrator CC?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

I'm having this same issue.
Sadly HDave387's fix doesn't work for me. I have Universal Type client instead.
What does seem to work though is "Save as Copy". For some reason that's perfectly fine, but "Save As" throws out an error when trying to reopen the v8 .eps.

Anyone else seeing iBooks 1.1 as flakey?

Loaded 68 PDFs into iTunes (Books)
Devices iPad Books Sync Books - Selected Books {check}
Books - All selected
Sync with iPad
No books, no PDF button at top of iBooks App
iTunes/iPad shows 2.28GB of Books
restart iBooks
restart iPad
Takes several Syncs before the books and PDFs so up in iBooks.
Also the Bookshelf for some reason always sorts in reverse alphabet?
Anyone else seeing this.
Also had a few probs with PDFS that Preview opens fine but iBooks just displays as blank pages.
Curious

Yes, I had to do the exact same thing to get my PDFs to show up. iTunes said they were on the iPad, sync'd two-three times, restarted iBooks 2-3 times and then finally the PDFs tab showed up. Really bizarre! I'm just glad to have PDF support on the iPad but hope this will be fixed soon!

Since loading IOS 7.0.4, the images and letters/words on my ipad Mini are fuzzy and less clear. It appears the revised IOS has created this degradation to clarity and sharpness. Anyone else seeing this problem?

My ipad mini display, including letters/words, was crystal clear until the last software upgrade. Now everything is fuzzy and less clear. I'm reading many complaints about this on the Internet forums. Since I read a lot of books on my ipad , this is particularly irritating. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi Fitz,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I found adjusting the size, boldness and contrast settings on the iPad mini were very helpful.
Here is a link to the information in the iPad User Guide on page 112:
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Large, bold, and high-contrast text
Display larger text in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.
Display bolder text for items on iPad. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.
Increase the contrast of text where possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
- Judy

With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.

Colorpicker behavior: anyone else see this?

I'm just sampling what should be straight grey, and I get much more saturated samples than should possibly be represented in the image.
I'm seeing this behavior in Photoshop CS5, ATI 5700 video card, latest drivers, Win XP Pro SP3. I see this with or without OGL acceleration. I see this with the modal eyedropper, or with the selected eyedropper tool. Anyone else see this?

I tried to duplicate just what you did. It doesn't paint any color for me - the picked colors just paint shades of gray.
I noticed that your brush doesn't paint all the way to the edges. Specifically, it looks as though you're getting an "all or nothing" coloration, and the size of your brush "footprint" is varying during painting... Is this some kind of brush dynamic at work? I don't use a tablet myself.
Something's definitely acting funny there, and I'd say it could be in the brush settings or behavior of the brush rather than the picker (or both).
I have an ATI 4670 by the way, on 10.11 Catalyst.

Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature after the IOS update flash on the white screen either before or after the "hello".

Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature flash briefly when the white screen appeared? I don't know for sure if it was before or after the "hello" greeting.

If you leave it alone, it goes through several languages in a loop.
It's character, not caricature.

Does anyone else see a blue screen just before leopard loads up?

Hi just wondering Does anyone else see a blue screen just before leopard loads up? It when i start my cpu after the apple logo and spinning wheel, then it goes to a blank blue screen for a second, then the desktop. Just wondering if that was normal. Thanks

Yes, it is normal for a Mac to have a blue screen during start-up.
You may also see it change colors from blue to gray.
