Connection SLOWS WAY DOWN while downloading podcasts

Anytime that I download podcasts using iTunes its like it chokes all the other applications that are trying to reach the net. I watched the activity monitor while I was downloading podcasts to see if I was exhausting the line coming into my home- but no. I was only getting about 500kpbs down...
I download other files (typically HUGE files since I edit video a lot for work) and I never see my entire connection tank like that. Sure things will be slower but it will not box out all the other applications from reaching the net.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this or why its doing it?

Try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. That should sort it temporarily, then you van work though any addons/extensions that could be causing it.
'' If it still happens, then try a full reinstall.''

    - Try going to Setings>Store and sign out of the account and then sign back in.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    Go into the App Store, tap Updates, and at the top should appear Purchases. Hit the tab that says "Not on this iPhone" to download again

  • While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?

    Thanks.

    The problem went away on its own. Not sure what was the problem but perhaps somehow the system was out sync internally due installing Lion 10.7.3/Snow Leopard 10.6.8/10.7/10.7.3 with iTunes 6 installing after the 10.7.3 and then needing to be installed again after the second 10.7.3 install from the updater model.
    I kept accepting the error message and checking iTunes music file. No podcast downloads were actually rejected.

  • Firfox slowing way down or hanging and task manager has multiple sessions of "plugin-container.exe *32" running.

    I'm running Win 7, Firefox 10.0.2 and all my plug-ins are up to date. I'm having issues with Firfox slowing way down or hanging, let say like when going to Youtube or site that just has a picture that uses Flash. I go to task manager and have multiple sessions of “plugin-container.exe *32" running at anywhere from 2,000k to over 300,000k (only one at the larger amount and most at 2m to 8m). I have to kill the multiple processes to get it running right again.

    Hi kb11,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-slow-or-takes-too-long-start performance troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • Why has OS X Mountain Lion caused my powerbook to slow way down?

    Why has OS X Mountain Lion caused my powerbook to slow way down?  With OS X Lion  and Snow Leopard my laptop was very fast--now it seems to take foever to load or respond.  It there something I am missing?  Help, as I am very frustrated.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Computer slows down while downloading files using Safari version 4.0.3

    I experience some performance issues while downloading files from the internet.
    The system performance/responsiveness is perfect until starting the download process.
    E.g. opening the finder takes noticeably more time.
    However, the worst is moving the mouse (bluetooth mighty mouse). It's hard to explain, but during a download there's a lag which could be compared to decreasing the mouse sensitivity to a minimum.
    Maybe someone could help me with that...
    Thanks a lot!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Check to see how much free drive space there is on the MacBook.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
    If you need to free up disk space, go here for help.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html
    Could be an underlying issue with the hard disk. Boot from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart

  • Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

    my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Change your Mac's sleep settings
    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...
    - Judy

  • Why does my internet slow WAY down when I have camera wirelessly connected

    This is a great camera for my purpose, but for some reason it is slowing my internet download to crawling speed when I have it connected wirelessly. Btw don't know if having it done wired does any good.
    It used to work fine (without slowing down my internet) until I added a second wvc210 camera, so I removed the second camera and its still sloooow.  If I have it disabled (unplugged) then my internet is fine.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks for any advice.

  • Error 3259 while downloading Podcasts

    I had the dreaded error 3259 show up on two of my computers one running vista and windows 7. I am running the latest version of I-Tunes.
    I noticed that others were having the same trouble. I tried everything that was suggested to correct the problem, but they didn't work.
    For some reason I_Tunes can't make a connection to update podcasts. The only way to get around the problem is to uninstall I-Tunes 11
    and reinstall version 10. There is one little trick though. Go to  http://www.pcworld.com/article/2019315/how-to-go-back-to-itunes-10-part-2.html 
    and watch the video very carefully. I think apple has a bug with the latest version of I-Tunes that they need to fix. Too many people are having problems with error 3259 in the Community.

    Agree it is a timeout error but I'd like to suggest a different solution related to the timeout setting in Internet Explorer and a slow or intermittent internet connection or a busy server holding the podcast. While it may be aggravated by various anti-virus software programs, believe the root of the problem is the timeout setting that was changed to 30 seconds in Internet Explorer 7. The timout setting had been 5 minutes in all Internet Explorer versions since ver 4.0. See Microsoft Support KB item KB181050 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050/en-us. Believe it provides a better and more encompassing solution for computers running Microsoft XP and Vista. Cheers.

  • Dsl slowed way down????

    Is there a way to clean up my computer like on a pc. On a pc you can defragment and then clean up the disk, what can I do on my imac g5 osX? My dsl started out really fast and now it's like dial up. Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Without running a speed test, how do you know it is definately not the service provider? Disk Utility tells you nothing about the speed of your internet connection.
    Sometimes ISPs do suffer from outages and such, but assuming that is not the case, there are other things to check.
    While Speakeasy is a speed test, it relies on Javascript and that can make the test seem slower than it actually is. I prefer PC Pitstop instead. Run it several times and tell us what you get.
    Check your activity monitor and tell us what your CPU and memory usage is. You might have a CPU/memory hogging program running in the background.
    Quit all apps and relaunch just your broswer. Run the tests again.
    Are you using Safari for your browser? While Safari looks nice and has some helpful features, it can be one of those programs where the memory and CPU usage creeps up and up until it chokes your system. That is the main reason that I do not use Safari anymore and use Camino instead.
    Reboot. If that fixes the problem, then it is possible that one of those progams was ended and solved the slowness.
    Try resetting your modem and roouter (if you have one). Run the test.
    Check in your network settings and see if your connection - ethernet or Airport - is listed first. If it is not, drag it to the top of the list.
    Click on "configure" on the conenction and see if you have any DNS servers listed. Sometimes providers switch DNS and if you have a server specified that has been retired, that can cause a slowdown. Write those numbers down and reboot. Then try the connection again.
    Back in that some panel, check to see if IPv6 is enabled. Some providers do not like having that enabled. Disable it, reboot, and run the test again.
    It is entirely possible that your connection is fine and up to speed, but something in your Mac is making it seem slower than it should be. It is also entirely possible that your ISP is having an issue as well.
    EDIT: Bob, we were posting at the same time. At least we had some of the same ideas. I just take a long time to say it sometimes - just like this edit - LOL!
