Can't do more than one thing at a time using the internet

Hi
I've recently bought a Mac Book Pro and it detected my existing wireless connection and connected to my Belkin router without a problem.
I've noticed however that if, for example, I'm uploading a video to YouTube, or some photos online, I can't then connect to anything else on the internet either via a new tab or a new internet window. When I try to do so it searches for a while (and this happens on both Safari and Firefox) and then comes up with a "Server not found" error message. It feels as though the uploading is closing any other access to the internet.
I didn't have any problems doing simultaneous internet access when I was using the same router/wireless set up with my PC, so I think it must be something I haven't done with the Mac?
Any help really gratefully received!
Neil

Please repost this in the MacBook Pro Forum, where it's more likely someone can help you, or create a new thread in that forum, with a reference to this thread.

  • ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

    I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
    This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
    So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
    Any ideas?

    I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
    The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
    I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
    I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
    The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
    One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
    And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
    So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
    Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

  • Can't print more than one job at a time.

    I am trying to print to either a HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter or a HP LaserJet 5000N. I can't send more than one file at a time. If i don't wait until the current job starts printing, the next one won't print. For example if I sent five files one right after the other, I might get 1, 4 and 5. I don't think it's a printer problem because it happens on two different printers, and it doesn't happen when I print from my PC. Any idea what could cause this?

    My work around is to put all the jobs "on hold" in the print settings or just "stop jobs" on the printer window.
    Then I click on each print job in the que and let them print one at a time. This way I can at least quit the program and move onto the next thing.

  • When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

    When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?
    I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
    Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left.  Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

  • How do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    Do you mean items in Finder?
    To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
    - click the top item you want
    - hold down Shift
    - click the bottom item you want
    The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
    To select random items :
    - click the first item
    - hold down the Command key
    - click any more items anywhere in the list
    Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
    This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • HT5525 How can I order more than one picture at a time in iphoto?

    How can I order more than one picture at a time in iphoto?

    It's also wise to crop the photos to the print size you're ordering so you have control over what portion of the image gets printed.  Otherwise, the image will be scaled so the smaller dimension fills the paper cropping off some of the oither dimension.

  • Can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.

  • Can't gift more than one song at a time

    Does anyone know how to gift more than one song at a time (not an album, but non-contiguous songs off one or multiple albums)?
    I tried adding them to my wishlist so I could add in several, but I already own several of the songs and you can't add songs you already own.
    Of course, this would be resolved if they would just bring back the shopping cart, but for now, I have no idea how to accomplish what should be a very simple task.

    It is, indeed, frustrating, and seems short-sighted on Apple's part. Imagine a shop owner saying, "You can buy anything you want for yourself, as many as you like, but if it's a gift, you can only buy one."
    I did receive a nice response from Apple confirming that this is, in fact, impossible to accomplish:
    Dear Michael,
    Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. I am Animesh and I will be assisting you today.
    Thank you for your interest in giving an iTunes Store or App Store gift. I understand that you would like to gift multiple songs from different albums. I understand that this is important for you.
    Michael, please note that you can buy a song, an album, a video, an audiobook, a TV episode or season, a movie, or an application for anyone who has a valid email address. However, there is no such option to gift multiple songs at a time from different albums. You are required to gift them individually, also the Wishlist feature is for personal usage and not gifting.
    I can realize that it must be difficult for you. I have felt the same way in the past when I've found myself in similar circumstances. I have found in situations like this that voicing your opinion is a good way to get the "ball rolling".
    Please know that Apple takes the feedback from our customers very seriously. This is the reason for our feedback page - to create a forum where our users can vent, praise or share whatever feelings they have to allow us to meet your needs, and grow as a company.
    I took the liberty of submitting your feedback to Apple on your behalf. I would also encourage you to share this link with all of your friends and family who wish to submit the feedback, and have them all submit the same request.
    Here is the link for you.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I know sometimes it feels as though submitting feedback will not yield results, so I will also invite you to check out the following link. This is a letter from Apple's CEO addressing customers who purchased an iPhone very early on at $599, then the price went down to $399 shortly after. Mr. Jobs heard our customers and Apple responded accordingly.
    http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/
    I hope that you will consider sharing your thoughts on the feedback page.
    Michael, we very much appreciate your concerns, and if there's anything else I can do for you, just respond to this email and let me know. Thank you for supporting the iTunes Store.
    Sincerely,
    Animesh

  • Can I import more than one song at a time?

    Hello all, this is my first post so go easy on me...lol
    I just purchased my first iPOD today and seem to notice so far that I can only import one song at a time into iTunes library. I cannot select more than one song at a time by holding down the shift button. These are songs that I already have on my computer, not songs just ripped through iTunes. Also how can I get album art onto all of my songs? I've noticed that only one album so far has album art on it. The others don't. Thanks in advance.
    Toshiba Tecra 8100   Windows XP Pro  

    Thanks Rachyl, I'll try that when I get off of work. What about the album art? How can I make sure I get it every time in the future. Can I rip my CD's using another software to make sure they are tagged right?
    BTW I used to live in NC not too long ago and went to school there....GO HEELS!
