DSL too slow for Mt Lion download

I've been trying to download Mt. Lion from the App store for 2 days now. I am only at about 800mb. I continually pause and resume. to get it to continue dlownloading It tells me I'm at ~8-9 hours. But then it gets hung up. This is the computer we run our media off of at the church I work for. We have DSL that is a joke. Is there any other way I can get Mt. Lion onto this iMac?
If I end up not being able to download it, will I be able to be reimbursed for the Mt. Lion purchase?

I have the same problem!

Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?

cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Why is the same wirelles connection too slow for an iphone4 when it is quite fast to an iphone5?

You really have a question for iPhone support here, so I suggest that you post in the appropriate support area:

The experts over there will likely suggest that you use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide for iOS devices, so you might want to work your way through that before you post in the iPhone support area.

What to do if my pc is too slow for Flash CS6? may i try (and find) older version?

Hi all
I tried the trial version of flash CS6 but my computer is too slow (less than 2 GB of RAM available) and I 'm not able to use it. i need it to make animated cartoons and I do not need to code in order to do it .. What do you recommend me, please? If I use an older version (which one? flash 8? is there a trial version on the site? ) it can work out ? i mean can i consider it valid for my works or is it a point against me for the market?
i want to be sure before buying the product ...
(is this the right place to ask? )
Thanks anyway
Adelina

First of all, check if your machine meets the system requirements for Flash CS6. If yo do, then i will recommend to cleanup your machine. Delete the temp files(Run->%temp%) and empty the Recycle bin.
This should also help.

Time Capsule with ext HDD seems too slow for ethernet big file transfer

With new Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini, I have a wired Time Capsule with an external WD USB 2.0 HDD added. While moving files over 802.11N files seem to work fine, a full wired Ethernet connection seems to send the files too fast for the WD external drive to keep up. I get only the first 50Mb before the transfer gets corrupted. Isn't there a handshake that limits the file transmission to allow for the USB drive to stay ahead?
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a remedy?
Thanks
Bill H.

Very slow Mac OSX Lion download from App Store

Hi All,
I have recently purchased Mac OSX Lion (3 days ago) on App Store (Malaysia). The download is extremely slow and
I am not sure if there could be any other problem contributing to this issue.
Currently I have only completed about 1.61GB out of 3.74GB after 3 days. But, it was not a continuous download but
rather stop and resume every 3 hours. My internet connection speed as I checked on speedtest.net was 4Mbps.
The time left to complete the download is shown as 2 days and 20 hours. I think it's not sensible to have such a
long time to complete the download with an available connection speed of 4Mbps.
Any solutions for this problem ?

Thank you for keeping the thread alive.
Now I'm experiencing better download speeds with remaining time of (7 hours and a few minutes).
The connection speed I have is about 5Mbps.
I would suggest anyone with download speed issues to follow several maintanence tips (if not all) from here :

It may not seem worthy or the "solution for the problem" but it has certainly made the difference for me.

Is my MacBook Pro too old for Mountain Lion?

I was trying to buy Mountain Lion online but it wouldn’t let me, saying unavailable for purchase or something.
Im at 10.6.8 on a 17” MacBook Pro.
Is my computer too old?
If so, What is the highest software I can get?
I sure cant afford a new laptop, but is it going to be useless if I can never get an updated OS?
Is there anything I could buy (BESIDES a new laptop) to keep going with the one Ive got?
Laptop still works darn fine and I just love it…help?

10.6.8 is the best OS you should be running on that older model of machine.
1: Best Performance, 10.6.8 is tested faster than 10.7.
2: Runs your presently PPC based programs, 10.7+ won't.
3: Doesn't need even more RAM like 10.7+ does. (4GB+)
Apple is issuing security updates for 10.6.8, however no Safari 6 for 10.6.8 so you need to use Firefox instead.
Your machine came out in 2006 apx, so it's almost 6-7 years old, my congradulations on getting such a good lifespan out of that machine. Usually the average is about 5 years for laptops.
Don't worry about becoming outdated, if Apple stops issuing security updates, then don't do anything online like banking etc. that's all.
Apple is issuing a new OS X version annually now, so it's no big deal refusing to keep up with all their idiotic changes anymore.
Seems the OS that came with the machine is usually the best choice in a lot of cases, only one that really improved was 10.5 machines that got 10.6, every OS X version after that slowed down the machine or took features away for apparantly obscure reasons.
My advice, if it works fine, don't mess with it, be happy it works.

Saying connection too slow for shareplay,but i have really good speed

i have a really good speed ,when i start shareplay with someone it says that i have very low speed.i have like 3mbps(upload) and 7mbps(download or whatever)mabey its because of the update...please fix this or help!

SharePlay can be a bit temperamental at times. The best connections can sometimes say your speeds are too sow. While the slower connections can say the opposite. It has it's moments.
Do a Test Internet Connection in the PS4 settings. Then try it again a minute later. You'll have quite different results sometimes
If it allows you to continue, then just do so. Altough your speeds may result in some poor image quality and lag for the person your SharePlay'n with

Broadband Speed too slow for BT's own services.

Hello, I have recently heard that BT Sport has the rights for MotoGP in 2014.
Brilliant, I have BT Broadband, it will be free for me.
Oh wait, the required speed is 400kbps, and my BT provided Broadband is less than half of that speed!
I assume, BT will be upgrading the equipment in my area to enable me to have the required speed to view this?
I can dream... Seriously angry about this.

Well folks, I managed to find my way into BT Sport because I'm in the same boat as Tourn46, I want to carry on watching MotoGP in 2014 (but I won't pay subscription fees to anyone).
Just checked my connection speed - excellent - 8MB.
Just watched some tennis on BT Sport 2 - YouTube quality at best. BT Sport 1 even poorer and ESPN, wouldn't connect.
Hohum. No more watching those incerdible machines being wrestled around at 200mph in HD/slow motion. I think I'll probably not bother to watch. I see I could maybe get HD by paying for an Infinit package - oops, I won't pay any more so that's out. I see the BT channels come up on my Samsung SmartTV on FreeView, but I'd need a subscription box to get those- oops, I won't pay any more so that's out too.

My 3 year old PC is a bit too slow for Flash 11.

Its dual core CPU runs at 2.20GHz. I expect a PC to last longer than 3 years! I have just re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed everying. Before doin that there was to problem with playing video clips. I am now finding that quite a few sites want to install flash. The previous version was lost in the re-format. Is it too much to ask to have a version that is not so resource hungry?

Finally got it to work! Tried installing from the archive before at least once. This time I logged on to Firefox as the administrator and disabled anit-virus software first. Looks like I cannot have tried the same combination before.
Discovering how to use "run as" helped. You do not start download as administrator, so it seems, but Firefox. Thanks for helping to focusing my efforts.

ICal is too slow for practical use and crashes after it is opened

I am using an iMac G4 with OSX10.4.8. iCal is so slow that it has become impractical to use. Every click takes at least a minute to complete. Moving from the daily to the monthly view takes at least 3 minutes. I have discarded the plist file from the user library and it did not help. Any idea what is going on? Safari also suffers from the same slowness problem. I no longer use it. Have switched to Firefox.

I was having the same problem and it started after I upgraded to Tiger. After trying all the solutions, I discovered the problem with my iCal, which might not be the same for yours.
I was trying to sync with Entourage. I only had about 5 appointments on there, but once I deleted that calendar and unchecked the Sync to .Mac under preferences.
Now it runs SUPER fast. So it may be a problem with one of the calendars that you've created.
Good luck.
Thanks!

Video is too slow for audio, the file is .mp4, recorded it with my webcam using Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170. Also sometimes audio repeats.

Hello,
For some videos when i record with my webcam on my Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170, and then place it in Premiere Pro the video seems behind the audio.
Stats about my laptop:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 16gb
System type: 64bit
Memory Speed: 1600 mhz
Hard Drive: 1000gb mechanical_hard_drive
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M
Graphics RAM: 3072mb
Hard Drive Rotational Speed: 7200 rpm
So the video is behind and occasionally for some reason the audio will repeat or even start over from what sounds were happening in the beginning.
The file that gets saved from recording with my webcam is .mp4. I don't know what else to say but please halp.
The video file plays like normal when i use windows media player.
I am using Premiere Pro CC v8.1

Here is the media info application
When i clicked on go to the website it just took me to the download page for quicktime which i had downloaded but it didnt change anything to my knowledge.
And here is the gspot codec application
