Apple Broadband Tuner won't install.
I've tried three different download sites. Using Safari.
Mac Mini, Mavericks,
OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
1-yr old system
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I did a Verizon speed test while online, in "MyVerizon". I'm in New York City, Manhattan. DSL service. FiOS not available.
Link to their speedtest: http://my.verizon.com/services/speedtest/
Results: 8.96MB down, 0.75MB up.
"Speed Test is complete, here are the recommendations:
Your computer settings may be slowing you down, select Apple Broadband Tuner to reconfigure your settings and maximize your speeds."
The link takes you to: http://support.apple.com/downloads/Broadband_Tuner_1_0
I downloaded it, and tried to install it. Message: "BroadbandTuner.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
"...unidentified developer"?
Its from an Apple site!
Anyway, I did a little searching and found this post.
I would like to apply the fix "baltwo" detailed, but I'm not very Mac-terminal-programming savvy.
I got to terminal, logged in and got to this screen:
# Tuning network for broadband
# START
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=512000
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=358400
# END
[ Read 8 lines ]
^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit ^J Justify ^W Where Is ^V Next Page ^U UnCut Text^T To Spell
So what I don't understand is where and how to ...
"Add the following lines:
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=800000
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=400000
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=400000
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
net.inet.udp.recvspace=131072
Then type CONTROL o - it will ask to save, press return key.
Then type CONTROL x
Restart the computer and Shazam!"
I'm much more comfortable working with pc's, using a command window and entering commands. Even though my first computer was the original 1984 Mac, and still like Mac's, for my business back in the 1980's, I had to go pc, and my learning curve is stuck there. The Mac Terminal interface and commands are totally foreign to me, so if someone could "hold my hand" and walk me through how to make the changes, I'd be much obliged!
And I'm really talking about telling me, keystroke-by-mouse-click, how to do this!
Many thanks and Happy Holidays!

Optimize iMac for FIOS with Apple Broadband Tuner
I am a recent Mac convert and am trying to optimize my Apple settings for an iMac 27" for Verizon FIOS, I downloaded the Apple Broadband tuner as suggested by Verizon, but do not know how to use it to optimize my settings.
Thank you.You simply double click on broadband tuner and it sets your sysctl variables to the values shown. I think these buffer values may be outdated at this point.

Does Apple Broadband Tuner work with Leopard?
Does anyone know if this works with Leopard? I didn't want to install it if it would screw up the OS. My speed seems bottlenecked at ~5Mbps on a 30Mbps FIOS connection. My speed patched XP box gets ~2.5MB/sec on a download while Leopard gets ~500KB/sec on the same download. Apple should have tuned Leopard's networking better than this.
Message was edited by: ch0b1ts2600My speeds in my leopard have not changed and have not needed to use the broadband tuner my adsl2+ connection just flies.
That being said the broadband tuner just changes some tcp values and is not recommended for airport connections.
The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
The package installer works.
Once installed you can check to see if the tcp values have changed.
in the terminal use the command
sysctl -a
scroll through the list of values until you find
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
Then you can see the pkg installer did work. -
Itunes/Bonjour/Apple Mobile Device won't Install even though I'm the Administrator
Since late February I have been unable to reinstall ITunes. It all started when I tried to update it, and it wouldn't work. Ultimately I uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall it, but I kept getting this message that the Apple Mobile Device could not be installed(?), and that I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to install.
Since then I have:
Ran as the administrator
Made sure that 'everybody', 'my user' and the 'administrator' (pretty much just me) have full access
Turned the User Account Control off
Cleaned up the registry using CCleaner
Used Command Prompt to check the C drive?
Used the SubInACL tool to repair any file and registry permissions (from here)
Nothing worked. I also went to the ITunes music folder, made myself the administrator, and it still wouldn't work. Recently I uninstalled Quicktime, Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support....everything Apple. Still couldn't install Itunes. In fact, now I can't install Bonjour or AMD.
When I tried to install Bonjour, I got the message:
"Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) could not be installed. Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.". If I hit 'ignore', then it'll just do the same thing except replace 'Bonjour' with 'Apple Mobile Device'.
I'm at a lost.
I have a Hewlett-Packard laptop
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC.
64-bit operating system.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

Hopefully, that's enough info. Any help will greatly be appreciated.Hey mrsslick,
This section contains information that might help your situation if you're using Windows XP:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Quit the following programs if they're running:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Choose Start > Control Panel.
In Control Panel, open "Add or Remove Programs."
Select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs and click Remove.
When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, select Yes.
After the uninstallation is complete, don't restart your computer if you're prompted.
If other program entries were listed for iTunes in Add or Remove Programs, remove those as well by repeating steps 4-6.
Remove all instances of these applications by repeating steps 4-6:
iPod Updater
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Restart your computer.
You should be able to remove Apple Mobile Device Support by following those steps above. The article you came from however is for Windows XP - if you're using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, follow the directions in here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
The steps in "Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel" and "To remove these components, follow these steps" are the most pertinent.
Let us know if following that article helped at all.

Apple Application Support won't install
I can't get the new itunes upgrade to install. I tried the update, that didn't work. So I unistalled itunes and quicktime thinking this might help. It didn't. I've tried everything the support says and it still won't download. I then downloaded only and when I go to the "open downloaded files" from the tool bar from the apple software update window, I click on the apple application support and I get this error:
An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.............................HRESULT: 0x8007054F
I can install the itunes and quicktime from the update window, but without the application support, i can't do anything with it. Please Help!
I'm using Vista and running Internet Explorer if that helps.Once in "Local Security Policy", I had to go into "Local Policies" to find "User Rights Assignment", so if you're having trouble finding it, you might check that folder.
Ahhh! Thank you kindly. Sorry about that, I should have checked on the Vista box instead of on the XP Pro box.
Okay ... the key to the old iTunes issue was that there was a missing Administrators and/or SERVICE in there, so I think we've ruled that possibility out.
I think we can probably rule out the "broken Windows Modules Installer" possibility with you too. Although the poor folks with that variant of things (typically on Vista 64-bit Home Premium boxes) get a 1935 when they try to download the redistributable security update, they typically can't get any Windows Updates to install, and their error message codes are consistently Code 0x80070424 on both the failing Windows updates and the failing iTunes installs.
For the sake of folks following this thread, here's a link to the thread where we've done the bulk of the troubleshooting work (here to date) on that particular Code 0x80070424 variation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10597133�
If you're game for more experimentation, there's a couple more things I can think of that might be worth pursuing.
The first one is operating system damage. If perhaps one or the other of those files we tried reregistering/resetting (using the Fixit) are damaged rather than deregistered or otherwise-grumpy, then an sfc scannow may be able to help with matters.
So perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per the following document:
[How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
If the scannow reports that it can't repair any files, could you let us know what the sfcdetails.txt says about them?
If the scannow does find and repair damaged files, do you have any better luck with the updates and/or iTunes install? -
Bonjour and Apple Mobile Device won't install meaning iTunes won't install
HELP!
I've spent the best part of a weekend trying to uninstall and reinstall iTunes after it wouldn't update automatically and then wouldn't recognise my ipod or iphone.
I followed the instructions as to the order to remove the different iTunes components, though Bonjour still wouldn't uninstall.
I used the Windows Registry Clean Up overnight, have restarted the computer and managed to delete the last Bonjour folder in the Program Files (there are no other folders left to do with iTunes).
When I try to reinstall iTunes, I get the message 'Service Bonjour Service could not be installed. Verify you have sufficient priviledges to install system services.' This also occurs with the Apple Mobile Device.
I end with a 'The installer was interrupted before the requested operations for iTunes could be completed. Your system has not been modified. To complete these operations at a later time, please run the installer again' message.
I have already changed my rights as administrator (I am the sole user of this computer) and turned UAC off, so there is no reason for this!
Are there any files still lurking about which I need to remove and how do I find them?If I were in your shoes, I'd make another admin account and try installing from there.

Apple mobile device USB Driver won't install (Code 37) on my 7th Generation iPod Nano
As a result, iTunes won't detect my iPod. But the iPod will charge when I plug it in to my comp, and there is an iPod folder in "My Computer". But after installing iTunes, it no longer says “connected” on the iPod (even though it still charges it). And, in Device manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark that appears in the DVD/CD-ROM drive directly after installing iTunes – there is also a yellow mark next to “Apple mobile device USB Driver” when my iPod is plugged in. For both, it says “Code 37.” I know how to fix the DVD/CD-ROM drive problem (by deleting the filters) but the Apple driver still won't install after that. I've tried troubling shooting this. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. And I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, too, and every time I reinstall iTunes the same thing happens: my iPod no longer says “connected on the screen,” and the DVD/CD-ROM drive gets code 37 again. Also, I tried different USB cables/ports.
Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I think I've already read a lot of troubleshooting guides on this site, but haven't had any success so far.Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by “leaving all other USB devices disconnected”? Does that include my mouse, keyboard, etc? And does that mean I uninstall those things in the device manager?

How to get the Broadband Tuner to install and work.
How do I install Broadband Tuner and make it work?
The specs say PPC and 10.8 won't run PPC apps.
In fact, PPC apps have not run on Macs for quite a while.

Apple has released a new functionality to Panther 10.4 and later that they have called Broadband Tuner. It lists being specially for "very high speed Internet connections that have a high latency (5 Mbps or greater)".
Of course, most broadband connections I have seen top-out at 3Mbps (with the 'typical' apparently still topping-out at 1.5 Mbps), but the download document also says it "is applied even if the network is not high speed connection with a high latency".Aloha, I installed on my G5 and seem to notice a slight speed bump, at least it didn't hurt anything.(fingers crossed) The info page says that there is an un-installer, but I certainly can't find it. The installer is a package.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
RalphHi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet
I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all. -
Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS. Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc. Somethings not right. What the Heck ?
See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes. -
Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error. I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail. After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error. However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution. I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop. So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x. The install then went off without a hitch. I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

itunes won't install. I get a message stating "apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I had itunes on this laptop and an urgrade came. Now nothing. Windows7, 64 bit
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
