Do apple devices take priority (in bandwidth) over non-Apple devices?

When I use even 1 of my Apple devices at home, my housemate's PC slows down or even freezes. When I use a PC laptop, it also slows down or freezes, until I turn off all of my Apple devices. (I have an iMac, iPad, iPhone and iPod.)
My housemate says she heard that Apple devices "hog" the bandwidth, i.e., take priority over non-Apple devices. I didn't want to believe this, but after doing some experiments with shutting my devices off and on, while using a PC, it kinda looks like she is right.
My questions:
1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)

1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
It is often reported.. but this kind of thing has been going on since wireless came along.. partly due to how many different manufacturers we have of wireless gear.. and the fact they all make stuff according to the code IEEE produce (cough, gollum, gollum!!) with their own little gidgets on side.
Apple systems are propriety.. they are designed to work with apple products.. and maybe windows.. as long as they don't use intel wireless cards or realtek or some others.. and the drivers are compatible.. and the moon is full and you hold your tongue on the left side of your cheek.

Yes, it is very simple.. buy a $30 TP-Link wireless N-Lite router and use it as an AP plugged into your apple router.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)
Has nothing to do with ISP.. but if you already have a wireless router gateway from your ISP use the wireless on that for your housemate.

When syncing apps from iPhone to computer which takes priority?

I spent time in iTunes arranging my apps. I then did an apply and the phone synced with the computer. What was on the phone replaced what was on the computer rather than the reverse. So all my re-arranging of my apps was lost. How do you control which one takes priority? Thanks!

I created a new user on my macbook and tried to authorize the computer but got the same authorization error. This doesn't have to do with the fact that I have once used a different iTunes account? (not since I have had the iPhone. I have tried to figure out how to delete this but it looks as if apple doesn't want me to.) Plus, it's the same email as my dot mac which I've ALSO been having trouble with the past few months-- it keeps resetting on its own and my keychain and iphone can't get into it. online chat has not solved the problem so i decided to just let it expire...
Ive been using a mac for 15 years and have never had as many problems as i've had these past few months.

Which settings take priority In MRP group or in Material master(strategy gp

Hi,
I have 2 different settings for consuption mode, one in material master and one in MRp group.Which one takes priority when MRp is run.
Please reply.

Hi Ashish,
I have 2 different settings for consuption mode, one in material master and one in MRp group.Which one takes priority when MRp is run.
what the setting that you defined in Material Master MRP3 view would be the first Priority,
than MRP Group parameters.
Normally system check the parameter /setting for consumption mode in Material Master . if no setting is made in that , then system consider the Mrp group.

Bandwidth over utillised

Hi there , I am still new in networking .
I am facing a bandwidth over utilised problem to a remote site . When I ping the eo interfaces at some time , they will be a lot of time out and , I tried pinging a server , it gave the same result .
I have checked with my service provider . But they say , my line is over utilised . The serial interface is almost 90 % utilised .
The question is how do I know , or how to check from my router that the Serial interface is fully utilised or the internal traffic is high . Should I check the Ethernet interface also ?
Any commands to check ....
Please help .

Thanks for your prompt reply . I am afraid I can't make any changes in the router , because the router belong to our ISP . I have only read access .

Which setting takes priority??

I have an user base of 500 users.I do not want to schedule the reports.
All the users will open the reports and view the data.
Since there are 500 users they do not want the users to hit the database 500 times.
They want to make use of the Cache TImeout Setting in the properties of the Webi Processing server.
So as long as the users are passing the same prompt values it will fetch the same data from the cache.
Say if the Cache Timeout Setting is set to 60 minutes.This will mean that for one hour if any user passes the same prompts he is going to get the same data from the cache and it will NOT go back to the database to refresh the query.
The problem or question here is:How do I make use of this Cache Timeout Setting in a webi report ?
To elaborate...
If the user just opens a report(since it is not a scheduled report) he will see a blank report .
I can check the box "Refresh on Open" and it will go back to the database and refresh and show data on the report.
What happens to the Cache Timeout Setting value then? Does the Refresh on Open overide the Cache Timeout Setting then?
Will that value still be honored or will not be because it is refresh on open.
Which settign takes priority here.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ,
Covering 100% of Reports trough webi Caching is a big chalenge .. so far i know there is no Physical cahing for Webi it s only Memory caching. To cover that for 500 Users every 60 minutes for N Reports .. I m not sure if it s the right way ..
do the users realy need 60 Minutes young data or would they be satisfied with daily reports. in this case i would consider distributing reports daily via Email. If the reports has to be persinalized u could burst them also ..

I have two iPhone 4 at home, slow slow downloads. One of them I've tested WiFi at work, Same issue. e.g. Apps take forever to download over WiFi compared to a AT&T-3G connection.

I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

Can I log specific users' bandwidth over an extended period of time?

I have an AirPort Express and I live in an apartment building. I am sharing my wireless connection with some other tenets in the building, via allowing their MAC address, and I need to view their bandwidth in order to determine an the appropriate amount of the monthly bill they should pay. I have the AirPort Client Monitor and the AirPort Management Utility but I can only figure out how to monitor live usage.
Is there any way I can log specific user bandwidth over an month to see their total usage of the network?

No, this is not possible with the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

Control Packets over non-MPLS connection

Is it possible to configure Cisco router 7204 to send BGP packets not over LSP that has been established for the BGP peer, PE router, but over non-MPLS connection, while all data traffic to the PE router get forwarded through the LSP. In other words, I'm wondering it is possible to constrain all control
packets, including BGP, OSPF and LDP, to the non-MPLS interfaces, even though the LSP exists for the destination prefixes for the BGP packets.
I hope it could be applied to establishing MP-iBGP sessions between PE routers in MPLS/VPN network, in other words, we want all BGP packets not be forwarded through the LSP established between two PE routers, which is actually an ATM LER system since we have established non-MPLS connections between LERs in order to forward control packets including routing protocol and MPLS signaling protocol.
Any response will greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Yongjun.

Yongjun,
r1------r2-----r3
\-------r4----/
r1, r3 are PEs
r2 is a P rotuer
r4 is a non-LSR
r1-r2-r3 is LSP
r1-r4-r3 is a ip path, non-lsp
Then, you can do 'local-policy routing on r1 and r3 to send the Bgp control traffic over r1--r4--r3 path.
config on r1:
ip local policy route-map foo
route-map foo perm 10
match ip addr 100
set ip next-hop
access-list 100 perm tcp host eq 179 host
access-list 100 perm tcp host host eq 179
you got to do similar config on r3.
let me know if you have further q's.
best regards,

Would it work to install ENG CS6 upgrade over non-ENG CS5.5?

Would it work to install/use ENG CS6 upgrade over non-ENG CS5.5?
Mainly to get the final CS6 programs in english.

Hello
Thanks for yuor replay, here is more details.
Right now I have BOXed version of Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection 5.5 Mac PL
and plan to buy digital download upgrade WIN/Mac ENG.
I wonder if I'm eligible to buy this version of upgrade or if I can only buy/use the PL upgrade version.
As the upgrade is seperate instalation, the new CS6 should be all ok and in english, but is allowed / legal
to upgrade from PL 5.5 to ENG 6?
Will be most grateful for help as I would really like to finally use english UI.

How to prevent packet forwarding over non-MPLS connection.

I'm wondering if it is possible to configure Cisco ESR to not forward packet over non-MPLS connection(VPI/VCI=0/32) when an LSP for its destination has not been established, while allowing control packets(BGP, LDP, OSPF) to be sent over non-MPLS connection. The reason why I ask about is as follows.
Referring to the following network configuration,
R1 --- Cisco_ESR --- ATM_LSR --- LER --- R2
<--> non-MPLS connection
----------------------->
LSPs
----------------------->
In the ordinary operation, when a packet arrives at Cisco_LER from R1, it gets forwarded over an LSP if available, while getting forwarded over non-MPLS connection(VPI/VCI=0/32) if the corresponding LSP is not available. In the configuration mentioned above,ATM_LSR does software-based packet processing for incoming packet through non-MPLS channel, while doing cell-switching for LSP traffic. Thus if ESR sends packet over non-MPLS connection, e.g, STM-1c, the ATM_LSR could get crashed or time-critical control traffic could be delayed or lost, thereby resulting in BGP/LDP session failure between ESR and ATM_LSR or LER.
In summary, my question is how to prevent Cisco_ESR from forwarding packets over non-MPLS connection when LSPs for their destinations are not available due to LSP failures.
Thanks.
Yongjun.

Does T-Lane Duration take priority over Quota Arrangement for SNP Heuristics?

Hi,
I have the following scenario setup for SNP Heuristics.
Source : S1, S2
Destination : D0
T-Lanes are All Product valid from years 2012 - 9999
T-Lane : S1 -> D0 : 0hr Duration
T-Lane : S2 -> D0 : 144 hr Duration
Inbound Quota Arrangements at D0 - 100% to Partner Location S2 ( no quota for source S1)
When I run Location Heuristic in Data View for a demand 2 days from current day, it is sourcing from S1 even though I have 100% Quota arrangement to source it from S2. Is this correct?
Regards

Hi,
The quota has priority, so S2 should be determined.
This is what I would do:
I would check again than the Quota is well mainatined: check the validity period, double check the quota is 100% for S2. You could even recreate the Quota again.
Check MAT1 for your Material in all the locations S1 & S2.
Check that your t-lane S2 --> D0 is ok.. not blocked.
Try to create an Transport Requisitions manually in RRP3 at location D0 and chose source S2.
If after point 4 you can create manually teh requisition assigning S2, then something is wrong with your Quota. In this case check these threads:
Quota arrangement not considered during snp heuristic
Quota arrangement not considered during SNP heuristic
Kind Regards,
Mariano

A litle guidance please - reduced bandwidth over wireless

Hi All,
If anyone with a little nore tech know-how can offer up any guidance to my problem, I would be most grateful.
I have recently recieved my 4mb to 10mb upgrade via Virgin BB . However, I can't seem to take advantage of the upgrade over my wireless network.
I get a steady 10mb avg on various speed test sites if the connection is via cat5 from modem to laptop/desktop. If I go via wireless it's stuck around 4mb which is what I had before the upgrade.
My router is a linksys wrt54g v5 running latest FW. I hope that it's a case of some tweaks to the wireless router but I'm stuck without some help.......I have tried my best to search this out before asking but no joy.
Wireless network is perfect and happy with speeds, the problem is purely D/L speeds from the web.
Thanks in advance,
D

Many things will affect your wireless connection. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, cellphones, construction of the house, and distance between computer and router. You will receive the fastest speed when your wireless signal is excellent or 5 bars.

With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Info pane under the iPod (device). At the bottom there is an Advance section. That section includes the option (check boxes) to replace specific information on the iPod with that on the computer. Is that want you want?

How long should a software update take - it's been over 2 hours!

An update alert appeared on our screen today. We clicked to update, but that was over 2 hours ago. What should we expect for length of time to download the update or what should we do if the update is not downloading correctly?

If you have a problem with updating then download the full version.
