Does Yosemite require iCloud for a functional internet connection?

My family recently updated our Mac from OS X Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Ever since then, iCloud login request windows have popped up repeatedly, and our internet connection has slowed down very badly. We use a recent AirPort model for our network, and we never had any speed problems with it while using Mountain Lion. Do we need an Apple ID logged into iCloud to make our internet fast again? I personally own the Apple ID that our family uses to make iTunes purchases, but I don't want to use it for iCloud because I don't want my Messages and Photos synced to it. Is it just Yosemite in general? Or is it some other problem?

Some people have experienced wifi issues with Yosemite.  It has nothing to do with iCloud.  Try the troubleshooting suggestions here: http://osxdaily.com/2014/11/19/os-x-10-10-1-wi-fi-connection-issue-troubleshooti ng/.  If those don't help, try posting your question over in the OS X Yosemite forum.

    Welcome guy -
    Unless you are using Spry menus as a learning experience, you should move forward to a menus system that will display properly on the millions of portable devices that won't work with Spry which was deprecated 2 years ago.
    Many are using JQuery menus or pure HTML/CSS menus.
    If you wish to continue your Spry for learning experience, we'll be glad to assist; please let us know.
    By the way, your submenus are not showing because you need to add the red value to this rule in your vertical CSS
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible{
        width: 220px;

  • Setting up a new TC.  Everything went fine.  I was able to connect a macbook air, 2 ipads, an Iphone 6, and even a windows 7 PC.  All devices showed a complete and functioning internet connection, but none of the devices could access the internet.

    I am trying to set up internet connection to my home using a 3gig Airport time capsule as a router.  I unplugged the cable from the existing router, and plugged it into the ethernet port of the TC.  The TC fired up found tttttttthe internet connection, and glowed green.  I set up the password, and all, and was then able to connect a Windows 7 PC, 2 ipads, and iphone 6, and a macbbook air, all running the most current os.  All devices connect with the internet via the Airport device.  they all say that there is a fully functioning internet connection, but none of them can actually connect to the internet.  When I run a speed test via OKLA I am told that the test failed to innatiate.When I try to do a search I get an error message that the page cannot open because safari cannot make a secure connection to the server.
    Any suggestions?

    Inside the house I have what looks like a phone cable that is plugged into a power supply, and into a router.
    What is this router?? Is it the TC or a router supplied by the ISP?
    It will depend on how the system works.. but the instructions from skybeam are fairly simple.. you just setup a router with dhcp set on the WAN port for connection.
    On the airport utility open your TC by clicking it then clicking edit.
    Make sure the WAN is set correctly and the ISP ethernet cable is plugged into it.
    And make sure Network is set to DHCP and NAT.
    Please give me the screenshots of the same things from your setup.

  • Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products?

    Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products? We are on a 20mb broadband connection and there is around 20 people using computers at my work but when I start my Adobe Cloud Product update or when I try and download my Adobe Cloud Product everyone at my work looses their internet connection and so do I. But the update keeps downloading and installing.

    I am sorry FooWingLi but the difficulties you are describing sounds more like a local network configuration issue.  I would recommend working with your I.T. department to investigate this matter.

    Does the AppleTV have to have an Internet connection to use Air Play?

    Is your iPad connected to a network? The TV needs to be connected to the same network. Do you have an internet router? If both devices are connected to it then they can also communicate  directly.

  • Why does the Fireworks save for web function give better results than in Photoshop?

    Having used the trial version of Fireworks, I have noticed that the save for web function gives greater compression and image quality than saving for web in Photoshop. Why is this?
    As Adobe are not continuing in developing Fireworks, does anyone know if will they will improve the save for web function in Photoshop to match the Fireworks version?
    Are there any third party companies who anyone can recommend who will process large volumes of images for web?
    Thanks

    One of my favourite topics ;-P
    First, the save for web function in Photoshop has not seen any real updates in a long time. In Fireworks PNG export allows for fully transparent optimized files with indexed 256 or less colours, which is impossible in the save for web function in Photohop. It is unsupported.
    This is one of the reasons why Fireworks does a much better job than Photoshop. Another reason is that Photoshop adds meta junk in its exported files, and this also increases the file size (and should be removed, because there are also a number of fields which include information about your setup).
    One other caveat is that Photoshop's save for web functions neither allows for a choice in chroma subsampling, and instead decides automatically below a certain quality threshold to degrade the colour sharpness quality. The user has no control over this. (Fireworks also limits the user this way.)
    One thing to be careful of: FW's jpg quality setting, and PS's quality settings are very different - a 50 in Photoshop is not the same 50 setting in Fireworks.
    For jpg optimization I generally use RIOT (free): http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/
    (When you install, be careful NOT to install the extra junkware!)
    Fireworks cannot change the chroma subsampling to 4:2:0, which does degrade the quality a bit compared to RIOT and Photoshop in my experience. Photoshop adds useless meta information, even if the user tells it not to do that. RIOT allows you to remove that information, saving 6k. RIOT also offers an automatic mode that optimizes existing jpg images without degrading the quality further, and often saves 10k or more, depending on the images.
    Interestingly enough, in my tests exported Fireworks jpg images are always reduced in file size by RIOT, due to FW's jpg export limitations, without any image degradation.
    In my tests FW's jpg quality versus file size turns out to be the worst of all three. RIOT generally wins, or is at least on par with Photoshop.
    As for PNG export, Photoshop's save for web function is quite abysmal. No 256 colour full transparency export is possible, while Fireworks does support this.
    Having said that, there is a free alternative that leaves both Photoshop AND Fireworks in the dust: Color Quantizer. http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
    CQ is an amazing little tool: with it anyone can create PNG files with full transparency and reduced to ANY number of colours! It means that a 512 colour PNG with full transparency is now very easy to do. On top of that, for more difficult images a simple quality mask brush tool allows the user to control and retain even small colour details in a PNG, while reducing the file size to an absolute minimum.
    CQ is one of the best kept secrets of a Web Developer's toolkit. And it is free!
    Both RIOT and Color Quantizer have a built-in batch mode. Both are available for WIndows. Not for Mac. If you are on a Mac, try imageOptim. Not nearly as good as RIOT and CQ, but quite passable.
    PS to be fair, the newest versions of Photoshop do allow for export of 8bit PNGs with full transparency through the use of its Generator functionality. But again, it cannot compete with CQ. And as far as I am aware, Generator cannot be used in Photoshop's batch processing (which, btw, is very slow! For simpler daily image processing tasks I have to do in batches, I prefer IrfanView, which is lightning fast! IrfanView).

    does i tunes match work without internet connection, like if my phone is out of reception

    Hi stockd,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes Match requires an internet connection, as mentioned in this article about how to subscribe:
    If at any time during the matching and uploading process you lose your Internet connection or experience a power outage, iTunes will automatically resume where it left off the next time you open iTunes.

  • HT1695 How to check for an active Internet Connection on iPhone SDK?

    Hi,
    My name is John and i am working as a website designer at a leading website design company. I have iPhone 4 and
    I would like to check to see if I have an Internet connection on the iPhone using the Cocoa Touch libraries.
    I came up with a way to do this using an NSUrl. The way I did it seems a bit unreliable (because even Google could one day be down and relying on a 3rd party seems bad) and while I could check to see for a response from some other websites if Google didn't respond, it does seem wasteful and an unnecessary overhead on my application.
    Is what I have done bad? (Not to mention 'stringWithContentsOfURL' is deprecated in 3.0) And if so what is a better way to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance

    Firefox is good.My internet connection is not good.if a web page could be seen without unnecessary picture then this would be helpful to save time to see page with sufficient information.Make a button functions this

    Go to about:config via Address Bar in Firefox, search for this option <b>permissions.default.image</b> change to <b>2</b>. if that doesn't work, try <b>1</b>

  • ICloud Disaster with Poor internet connection

    i have been working on a document for a day while Internet connection ok. Today it is poor and while working on Pages document on iPad Air connection was slow. I turned off Icloud assuming I could work on document on ipad locally.
    I have now lost ALL today's work.
    it seems using iOS devices is totally dependent on good connections to icloud
    How can I use ipad, iphone iwork apps when iCloud not available and update when it is.
    This is going to be a nightmare when travelling.

    Firstly, I think it is worth attempting to break this down into two parts: Is it the wireless or the wired part of the network which is causing the problem.
    Is it possible to temporarily connect the Mac directly to your cablemodem/whatever via Ethernet, and check the speeds you get? It could just be that your ISP is overloaded and its throughputs are significantly slower than advertised. Googling for bandwith test should give you some sites that let you test download speeds.
    If that's OK then its time to look at the airlink. Who is the ISP? What equipment (make/model) have they supplied you with?

    I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

  • Router for small business Internet connection

    One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

    Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small  Business and if you are looking for more ports on  the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

  • ITP does not sent TFP for downed AS when connecting M2PA?

    Hi all,
    I wonder about TFP(Transfer prohibit) at connecting M2PA.
    ITP#1 ------------(m2pa)---------ITP#2---------(m3ua)----------IPSP
                          down                             down
    in above topology,
    itp#1 ~ itp#2 connected with m2pa but its status was down. 
    itp#2 ~ IPSP connected with m3ua but its status was down.
    as my opinion,
    if itp#1 ~ itp#2 m2pa connection is active,
    so itp#2 must send itp#1 a tfp for IPSP
    because IPSP's status is down(it's unavailable)
    but cisco itp(C7613) doesn't send tfp for IPSP
    is this operation right?
    i can't find the RFC or ITU document(Q.xxx) about this issue.
    who's know about this?

    Hi Samuel,
    as you know,
    I opened a case about this issue and case owner is you v.
    I think this issue isn't a critical issue to impact a service
    but i hope to know about mtp3 management msg.
    also without precise knowledge about this, i can't explain to my customer.
    in reply, you commented shutdown M3UA in itp2
    of course after shutdown and no shutdown steps,
    itp2 will send a tfp(affected pc = m3ua pc).
    i think your comment is right to change the management status for that pc.
    but it's just a stopgap.
    the essential is why itp2 does not send tfp for down as(affected pc==m3ua's pc).
    detailed step
    itp1 ~ itp2 m2pa connection status : down
    itp2 ~ m3ua connection status : down (not shutdown)
    1. activate the m2pa connection : down => active
        itp2 ~ m3ua connection status down => not change
    2. i expected itp2 would send tfp for m3ua as, but it didn't.
    setps are very simple.
    the reason that i opened a case,
    I think this itp operation is seems to be a bug.
    I hope to the cause is something to follow the standard,
    otherwise it seems to be a bug.
    ITP version : s72033-itpk9v-mz.122-18.IXH1.bin
    platform : cisco7613
    I will keep on eyes on this board,
    if you have any idea about this, please update this board or case.
    as much as i can, i will help you.
    Thank you.
