Connection speed high but pages have been loading slowly for last 4 days.
My Broadband has performed well for the last two years but 4 days ago web pages have suddenly begun to take ages to load (10 to 15 seconds or more).
Checking my connection speed gives, typically, 7816 kbits downloaded in 1.542 sec.
The problem persists with Safari, Internet Express, Camino and Firefox.
Another problem cropped up at the same time in that a web site I use regularly suddenly became unavailable to me - but still OK for others. This also applied to Google UK until yesterday but now that is back.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Chris

My Verizon Cloud says "Content is pending for backup" and (Update pending), but it's been doing this for over a day now. The number of photos hasn't changed and I have 26GB of space. What's going on?
Tinigal2112,
We want to make sure your photos are backed up successfully! Have you tried to stop the process and start it again? You can stop the process by stopping the Cloud and backup process completely in Settings>Applications>All>Verizon Cloud>Force stop. One it has stopped make sure you care connected to WiFi and try the backup again.

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?
When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

Hi,
I have the following script that is supposed to search AD for all user accounts that haven't logged into the domain in more than 90 days. I first did not have the where-object clause because I didn't realize the search-adaccount would provide results
back of users that have never logged in, but were created less than 90 days ago. So I tried to incorporate the logic to not include user accounts that were created in the last 90 days.
#requires -version 4
#This script creates a file of accounts that have not been logged into in the past 90 days, excluding accounts that have been created within the past 90 days since the -AccountInactive option does not factor for the whenCreated property of an AD object
$DateThreshold = ((Get-Date).AddDays(-90))
$ReportDate = Get-Date -Format yyyy-MM-dd
#Create a folder according to the current date to be used for storing the report
New-Item -Path ".\$ReportDate" -ItemType Directory
$InactiveUsers = Search-ADAccount -UsersOnly -AccountInactive -TimeSpan "90" -SearchBase "OU=XXXX,DC=XXXX,DC=XXXX,DC=XXXX" | Where-Object {$_.whenCreated -gt $DateThreshold} | Export-Csv ".\$ReportDate\Inactive90_$ReportDate.csv"
However, I can't ever get the whenCreated field to populate with data. What gives?Hi,
Search-ADAccount doesn't return a whenCreated property. If you want that, you'll need to use Get-ADUser as well. Here's a basic example you can build from:
$dateThreshold = (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)
Search-ADAccount -UsersOnly -SearchBase 'OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com' -AccountDisabled | ForEach {
$whenCreated = (Get-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Properties whenCreated).whenCreated
If ($whenCreated -gt $dateThreshold) {
$_

OOkay so yesterday my phone kept stuffing up and blacking out so I had to keep rebooting it
i think it did this about 5 times, the first time it did it and I turned it back on
eeverything was fine , but then my wifi button went blue and even in settings the option to turn it on isn't availableTry doing this:
Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Connections
Phone will reboot, you will have to enter your WiFi Passwords again - BUT should resolve the problem. -
since getting the 'new' ipad, my old one hasn't been used. I tried it early today and it does nothing. It has been on a charge for a few hours now, the apple logo screen blinks occasionally but that is still all it will do? Is this normal and will eventually work or is something wrong with it?
Maybe it has taken umbrage at being dwarfed by the new model!
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! -
Why cant i access my Yahoo emails?
why does my iPad ask me to key in my password everytime i want to access my emails, and after doing keying my password it gives me a notice" Yahoo! Server Unavailable. Please try again later"? but i have been doing this for three days. but if i use directly my Yahoo browser, i can access my mails.thanks for the reply, but have tried it several times, but still not successful.

Internet appears connected but pages fail to load after 3-5 minutes! HELP!
I purchased my Macbook three weeks ago and it immediately found my network and connected. A few days later my computer failed to load internet pages (both in firefox and safari). The connection would not disconnect, or seem to slow. I diagnosed and found no problems. To get it to work for small amounts of time I turn off airport and then turn it back on and get a few minutes before I get "Problem Loading Page".
I have updated the firmware in my router. I use a D-Link Router WBR-1310 and a D-Link Cable Modem DCM-202. I have called my cable provider, Comcast, and they tested the connection saying it was strong. I connected directly to the modem and it never failed to stop loading pages the full 20 minutes I was connected.
My computer has no problem connecting to other connections: The Library, neighbors, my parents' home. There are no time outs and it automatically connects through Airport, no problem.
I have called D-Link about the router. They're a bit confusing in troubleshooting the problem. They told me to connect my Ethernet cable to the computer and manually put in IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address. First, I don't know where to find any of that except for the IP address. Secondly, do they expect me to connect and leave the ethernet cable in my computer?
Have there been any problems with Macs and this router? What am I doing wrong and has D-Link given me good steps to take? My experience with them hasn't been so great so I'm skeptical. All of this is very upsetting, I can't enjoy my new Macbook at home.FrankInColorado wrote:
Yes I had read about this. The point is, especially with something such as wireless, it has to inter-operate with everyone else out there. You would think Apple would do some testing before going to some "recommended" standard that obviously is not widely used in the real world. To someone who just bought a new MacBook, it doesn't matter that Apple is using the "new" recommended way. They just want to be able to connect everywhere they go.
No, networking is a world of standards and recommended procedures. This all used to be a lot easier when there were actual engineers who understood the RFCs running most networks.
You seem to think Apple just throws software over the wall. If that's true, you should swing by Cupertino some time and see if you can meet with a member of their software test groups; I'm sure they'd love to know that you think they don't do anything.
Or perhaps Apple is supposed to test their software with every ISP on the planet first.
And how many people posting in these forums have said when they turn Airport off and back on, then things work again for a while. If the issues are on the other side, why would that make any difference?
Did I or anyone else here say that changing to OpenDNS' servers would solve every issue with every person in each and every one of these threads?
But there have been many cases where switching to OpenDNS' servers does solve people's network delay issues. Hmmm, I guess Apple's cluelessness doesn't apply in those cases.
Come on. He connected directly to the modem and was loading Web pages for 20 minutes without any problem. He goes back to using Airport and the problem reappears. And you think it's reasonable to assume it was just a coincidence that the supposed DNS issue went away while he was connected to the modem and reappeared when he went back to Airport?
It depends now, doesn't it, as I just said.
Perhaps he tried "surfing to a few sites" while connected directly, and when that worked he went back to AirPort. Did he try going to the same sites? Different ones? We don't know.
In fact, even if he did visit the same sites, that wouldn't tell us anything either way as the DNS resolutions for those sites would have been cached when he was connected to the wired network.
This is the same thing that has happened to me since upgrading to Leopard. My wireless started going bad after some minutes of accessing Web sites. If I rebooted the machine, it would be fine again for a while. I finally just turned Airport off and plugged in an Ethernet cable. I have not had any trouble with accessing Web sites since - same ISP (Comcast), same DNS servers.
Tell me there is no Airport issue.
I never said there weren't issues. No one did. Except you implied I did.
Your approach to troubleshooting seems to be "Ah, Apple's software is broken, why bother."
1) There are many people whose problems have been solved by switching to OpenDNS' servers. That's fact.
2) There are many ISPs who have broken DNS servers. That's also fact.
3) Comcast has a variety of DNS servers spread across the country, so your results in Colorado may differ from those of a Comcast subscriber in a different state. Fact again.
4) You asked for reasons, I gave them, you don't like them. Obviously I must be an Apple shill. Funny, I'll have to ask why I haven't received a paycheck from Cupertino. Ever.
I understand your frustrations if AirPort isn't working for you, but don't turn around and drop into troubleshooting threads and tell people why suggestions we're making can't possibly address their issues just because they haven't solved your particular issue.
That would be just as silly as me assuming that because I haven't seen an AirPort drop since 2007, all of those posting in threads here are simply delusional or incompetent.
The only way to find out what's wrong in each case is to be methodical, and step one in diagnosing network delays is to see if DNS is at fault.
If it is, great, problem solved. If not, on to step two of a nearly infinite sequence.
One step at a time. -
I was downloading some songs when I lost my internet connection. There is no sign that these songs reached my iTunes but i have been charged for these songs anyway. What should I do?
It's possible that the message you got was to update the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) firmware...and that something might have gone wrong during the upgrade.
Let's start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to get it back to it's original "out-of-the-box" condition.
Then, let's set it up to work with your cable modem...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
- Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Setup the AX
With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Do not, at this point, set up any security (i.e., WEP/WPA encryption, closed network, etc.) to first make sure the AX is operating properly. Try to access the Internet wirelessly with your MacBook. If you're successful, go ahead and add any security features you wish. -
i have an iphone 3gs and i can't load facebook because it says i need os 4.3 or higher but i have 4.2.1
If you're using an iPhone 3G, you can't use the current version of that application.
If you're using an iPhone 3GS, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it.

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows
I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.
Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network? -
I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?
What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod. However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?
You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.
