Checked my Time Warner Road Runner Down & Up speed and performing fine. Fire Fox is hanging, disconnecting, slow, etc... What to do ?

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.  
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.
For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

  • My Iphone 4 is not restoring, specifically I have slow down load speeds and it is not completeing the download?

    I have gotten results from, the down load will not start, to I get over 500MB of the 780MB than it stops and I lose it all.  I have tried to do small blcks and pause, but whenever I pause the download it starts from the begining again.  According to Itunes, my phone and Itunes are up to date.  Does anyone have any ideas to help break up the download so I can get it in pieces and eventually have the full update to restore to?

  • TS1741 The apps can't found Apple TV. Already checked both are on the same network. And I use it before. Don't know what's going wrong.

    I always have problem when connect my iPhone and iPad with Apple TV.
    I did restart all the devices and router.
    Something wait a few hours it will work again.
    Anyone can help?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided, and there is very little hear to go on.  What happens when you try to connect?  Is there an error?  If so what does it say.  How are the devices connected?  WiFi, Ethernet?  Which ver of ATV do you have?  Best guess is that you are using WiFi and the probably go away if you use a wired connection to ATV.

  • Road Runner High Speed Connection

    Road Runner High Speed is supposed to provide me with 5 megabits per sec but I'm only getting 4.7 megabits. Is that considered too small an amount of difference to matter? I don't want to have to wait all day for a technician to come over and give me a new modem if it doesn't make much difference. A friend of mine says that I'm "sharing" the 5 megabits with everyone who has Road Runner in my building and that's why it's less than 5 megabits. Is this the case? To measure your speed of your internet connection go to speakeasy.net for a free test.

    You are getting the full speed. 4.7 MBs per sec on a 5 Mbps line is outstanding. The missing amount is due to overhead.
    Your friend is partly correct. Cable internet is a "shared" service. The more users online the less bandwidth each user receives. However, RR has been very good about providing adequate bandwidth to maintain throughput by adding more servers when the user load increases. But this is not the reason your throughput speed is slightly below 5 Mbps. About that your friend is way off base. This is in contrast to DSL whose speed is a function of distance from the server. The farther you are from the server the slower the speed. However, DSL is usually slower than cable for the same cost of service.

  • Modem Settings for Road Runner Dialup

    I am unable to log on to Road Runner dialup.
    I have this Apple internal modem:
    Modem Model: Jump
    Interface Type: I2S
    Modulation: V.92
    Hardware Version: Version 1.0
    Driver: MotorolaSM56K.kext (v1.3.9)
    I have tried every combination of settings I could think of, with and without Road Runner tech support assistance and am still unable to connect and complete authentication. I have verified user name and password to be correct.
    Does anyone have a list of settings for connecting to Road Runner, or other suggestions?
    Thanks

    Thanks a lot for answering.
    I believe the modem is working. I can hear it dial, hear the handshake and apparent connection. The modem status display shows "Connecting" then "Authenticating" and eventually "Disconnecting". I get an Internet Connect report that "Authentication Failed". I have verified that my Account Name and Password are correct, by logging on to the Road Runner Web Mail site. I went through that in detail with their tech support.
    How can I disable v.92 in OS X 10.5.6? I tried disabling error control and data compression, but that seemed to have no effect. What about these settings:
    Send PPP echo packets
    Use verbose logging
    Use TCP header compression
    Would any of those PPP settings have an effect on Authentication?
    So far, the only way I have been able to connect and log in by dialup is with a PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet) in OS 9 with a PC card modem. My normal connection is a cable modem and that's no problem, but I wanted to test dialup as a backup. Now, it's a challenge.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Airport with Time Warner Cable Road Runner

    We have Time Warner Cable's Road Runner as our isp. They gave us a wireless router, which has been working fine. However, we have 2 floors in our house, and occasionally my computer, that is on the floor above the router, drops the signal. I do have the Airport Extreme, which someone told me I can connect to my computer to help boost the signal. Is this correct, and if so, how do I do that? Because when I try connecting my computer via ethernet cable to the Extreme, it pulls up the old network I use to have the Extreme assigned to. How can I resest the Extreme to work with the Road Runner router account? And is this even how it is done?

    In order to extend the Time Warner-provided router's network wirelessly, you will need to set up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between that router and the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
    Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS...so it very unlikely that the router Time Warner has provided you can be extended wirelessly with the AEBS.
    The few that are known to work are:
    o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    o BT Voyager 2091
    o Netgear WGR614 v6
    o Buffalo WGR-G54

  • Fan Speeds, and Mirror Raid with New Internal Hard Drive

    Regards,
    I recently installed and formatted a new hard drive in my PowerMac dual 2.3 ghz computer and I have a few questions.
    1. Now that there are two hard drives do I need to do anything to ensure that the fan on my computer can keep them cool? I think the fans I have in the hard drive bay is enough, but I do not know if they will automatically set themselves to run properly. I can monitor the fan speeds and temp from iStat pro, but do not remember what level the temperature was before installing the new one.
    2. Given that my new drive is a SeaDisc hard drive and the older one is a Western Digital, will this cause any problems in creating a mirrored RAID. I believe that both are 7200rpm drives, and my second hard drive is a little larger (I will just have unused space after making the RAID). I am concerned with the fact that these two drives are from two different manufactures. Will this cause problems or drastically slow down the reading and writing of data? Has anyone else experienced problems in making a mirrored RAID from two hard drives that are not exact matches, and even come from different manufacturers?
    Any advice will help.
    Thanks
    earpshmael

    Hi earpshmael;
    Generally when creating RAID arrays the more similar the drive the less problems you tend to have.
    The real question is exactly why do you want or need RAID?
    I think so many people seem to think that RAID will solve all of their problem. I hate to tell you the bad news but it will not.
    Generally there are to varieties of RAID available using the software RAID built into OS X which are 0 and 1. RAID 0 or stripling is generally for moving large file rapidly for applications like HD video. It usually doesn't help the OS. RAID 1 or mirroring is for protection from drive failure. It is not a valid backup solution.

  • TS3048 I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard.  The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should.  For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash.  I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

    I have just purchased a new apple cordless keyboard.  The numeric line of keys along the top are not functioning as they should.  For example I am unable to get a question mark or a forward slash.  I have tried holding down both shift and alt keys.

    Thanks for prompt response - I tried what you suggested but I'm afraid it has not helped.  It seems as though the line of number keys along the top aren't actually doing what is printed on them.  Some are OK, but the further towards the right hand side of the keyboard you go, the less predicatable it becomes.  So whilst the second key from the left gives me 1 and ! when holding the shift key, by the time I get to the 6 when I press and hold shift I get ^ rather than & symbol which is what is actually printed on the key.  The & symbol is actually on the next key along - and when I hit the key with 8 I get * rather than the ( which is printed on they key but actually located on the next key along.  Things get even more muddled by the time I am over on the right hand side as rather than a question mark (I have had to type the word as I cannot find the symbol anywhere!) I get this _ and the other symbol marked on the key is a comma, but I get - instead.  It is going to drive me mad if every time I want to type something it is a guessing game....!  What do you suggest - question mark

  • SPA941 issues when used with Road Runner Extreme (Time Warner) 30mb/s down, 5 mb/s up.

    I use a SPA941 phone in my home office.
    Until recently, my Internet bandwidth was through Time Warner Road Runner Turbo.  It generally worked well, but when I happened to be sending a large email or uploading a large file while on the phone, my voice would break up due to the upload bandwidth limitation. 
    Because of this, I upgraded to Road Runner Extreme (30mb/s download, 5mb/s upload). Now, although speedtest.net tests show that I have good bandwidth and latency, the mute button flashes red at various times througout the day, and at seemingly random times when I'm on the phone, the other party's voice will start to break up and/or cease completely, as though I have a download bandwidth problem... but a quick speedtest.net check shows that not to be the case.
    I've spent hours (literally) on the phone with Time Warner 3rd level tech support, and they say everything is fine... and the issue must be with the phone.
    I'm using a Ubee DOCSIS 3.0 WLCM combination modem/router
    Connected to the SPA941 via cat5 10/100 Ethernet.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Are there any settings on the phone that can be adjusted to help in this situation?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    After reviewing your post I see one important piece of information
    "the mute button flashes red at various times througout the day"
    Mute button flashing means the ethernet link went down.  That would be between the phone and the device the ethernet cable is connected to.  The SPA941 is 10mb half duplex device (no pc connection so it didn't need higher capacity).
    It could be an auto negotiation issue with the network device.  Try forcing the link to 10mb half duplex or daisy chain a 3rd party switch/hub and see if the problem goes away.
    One more possibility is IP address DHCP lease renews itself causing the link to go down and up.  You can also try setting static IP address with dns & gateway, etc..  into the SPA941.

  • Network slowed down - Road Runner

    I've had terribly slow Internet access for about a week and a half now. All my devices are getting 6-8 Mb/sec from Time Warner Road Runner, and I was consistently getting 15-20 MBs.
    Time Warner was here today, and the Windows box they plugged directly into the modem was getting 15 Mb+. My souped up iMac, plugged directly in, was getting 6-8 Mb.
    The same holds for all my other devices - all iOS. iPad, iPhone, AppleTV -- all experiencing slow Internet.
    The Time Warner tech says they've been upgrading software on their modems recently - in the time range that I've been experiencing problems.
    Anyone else seeing trouble with their Time Warner Road Runner Internet connection?

    We used my cabling, which we swapped out with other cables, just to be doubly sure.
    In short, the only obvious difference was that my system is entirely Apple and hers was Windows.
    I'm somewhat confident that a change somewhere - either in the modem or upstream, or in the Apple ecosystem - has diminished my performance.
    I know that all my network routers - the Time Capsule and two Airport Expresses - were updated. I did not think the desktop received any kind of an update that affected networking. (I have a third Express, first generation, that has not been updated recently).
    As my performance was bad when connecting the desktop directly to the modem with two different ethernet cables (and those same cables were used to connect the tech's Windows laptop to the modem, with no performance problem), it seems something is going wrong on my desktop, iPad and iPhone, all of which report 6-8 Mb/s when the Windows machine was getting 15+ and that's what I consistently received before a week or two ago.

  • Has anyone had problems sending emails using via (Road Runner) POP account?

    I cannot send any emails w/ the iPhone via Road Runner POP account.... I have tried everything. From Calling Time Warner to have my Password reset just incase I'm using the incorrect password, which in fact the settings menu for mail says the password for outgoing emails are optional.. I keep getting a message saying "my email was rejected by the server" Is anyone having this problem and if so please suggest any solutions.......
    Does anyone know how to set my mail app on my home computer to only forward the messages I want to my iPhone while moving all other junk emails to my Junk folder on my computer????

    Last I checked you could not access RoadRunner outgoing mail servers from outside of the RoadRunner network (i.e., the AT&T EDGE network). You can use cwmx.com as your outgoing mail server, with no ID or password, and that will work while you are on EDGE (but now when you are on WiFi).
    As for junk mail, that is the scourge of the internet. Many people have many solutions - I can share with you mine. I had all my email forwarded to a free GMail account. GMail has amazingly efficient SPAM filters, and it has cut down my spam 99%. You can configure your account on the iPhone using the "Other" shortuct in such a way that emails seem to come from your Roadrunner account. The added bonus is that the GMail outgoing server works on both EDGE and WiFi, so you dont have to worry about where you are at.

  • Time Warner Cable Road Runner With Turbo + Linksys WRT160N Router

    Guys & Ladies,
    I'm having a problem either with road runner turbo cable internet or my wrt160n router, I had two different technicians from time warner to check out the problem why my internet connection is very slow they say everything is fine on they're end of the signal.. They figure it's the router causeing the problem due to the fact it drops the signal speed 15% the technician claim when he was looking at the problem.  Here's how I got the network setup: Network mode is selected on mixed channel width is selected on 20mhz and channel is 10...wireless security security mode is WPA2 Personal encryption is AES. The advance wireless settings are these selections...frame burst disabled basic rate is disable...The technician did say the ethernet cable might be going bad? If so what should I buy? how many feet? like 12ft to 18ft?
    Anything I can do to make it faster? I tried speaking with Linksys tech support they wouldn't talk to me unless I paid them $15 dollars? 
    Message Edited by RaveAffection on 09-24-2009 01:44 PM

     As for right now earlier it gave me slow speeds on the wireless side while the wired connection worked awesome.  The wireless speeds are around 8.92 mbps download 0.95 upload at speedtest.net the level 2 linksys technician claims my wireless speeds should be higher than that? Since it's Road Runner Turbo with speedbooster. 
    Here's what the level 2 linksys technician told me to do when he had me on the phone earlier, he told me to change the security mode to WPA Personal instead of having WPA Personal 2 selected and change security mode password, network mode to wireless g and set the channel to 10.. Then he asked hows the signal? I said from 10 feet away from the router my intel pro wireless connection shows full strength and excellent signal and right now still shows full stregth and excellent signal.  He said watch over it tonight if anymore problems call back or talk to linksys chat support
    Should I have the transmission rate set on 54G or Auto under the advanced router settings and what about basic rate?
    I don't know what else to do to fix the problems.
