Excessive ping time (200-400 ms) since loading 3.6.16. Anyone else experiencing this?

I ran 3.6.16 for the first time today on my Mac G4 running Tiger.
I experienced consistently awful ping times (200-400 ms) dragging performance to a crawl. I tested repeatedly at 2-3 minute intervals for 30 minutes. I also flushed the cache, but that made no difference.
At the same time, I ran Safari and was getting normal ping times of 40 or so ms.
Is FF 3.6.16 just too bloated to run well on a G4 machine (1.6 Ghz, 1.5 GB SDRAM)?
If so, how do I UNDO the installation and revert to an earlier, better functioning version?

    Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's  Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

    I think we need a lot more information.
    Exactly what does the message say?
    Exactly what files are you trying to open?
    Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
    And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

  • HT1657 Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window.  Anyone else have this problem?

    This doesn't seem right.
    I paid for a rental and downloaded an HD movie, Avatar. I could start watching within about a minute, it played without skipping a beat.
    My wife started watching the movie the next night and got about half way through.
    The next day, she tried watching the rest, and selected the film and clicked on "resume watching".
    But instead of streaming and playing like it should, we got the spinning wheel of death followed by a message "Ready to play in 1 minute" which soon became "Ready to play in 2351 minutes"!
    Additional information that I can add is that it was Sunday afternoon which is peak time for internet usage and I'd just exhausted my data allowance before the speed limiting kicks in. Basic internet using browsers at that time was really slow.
    So it was as though the movie we were going to resume watching was going to be downloaded from the iTunes Store again, and since my connection had been speed limited, it was going to take forever. I thought you downloaded a rental to your hard drive and it deleted itself after it expired? So any subsequent streaming to AppleTV would be coming direct from your hard drive. It shouldn't have been affected by the speed of my internet connection at that time, surely. Anyone else experienced this?
    Actually, I just noticed this post, I'm sure it's related...:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12398832&#12398832

  • I am running OSX 10.6.8 and when I try to install the latest security update there is an unknown error and the update cannot be implemented. I still have to restart my computer each time I try. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

    Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

    Your screenshot is not visible.
    Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
    Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

  • Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this?

    Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this? Ive tried every thing deleting emoji and apps and re-instaling to no sucsess?? Any help would be great thanks!

    YES! I am having a lot of AppStore problems since iOS 6. My 2 main issues are:
    1. AppStore crashes constantly or will just sit & spin then does nothing at all.
    2. If I search for a specific App, making sure my spelling is correct, AppStore will NOT bring the app up. Instead, it will bring up unrelated apps.
    Podcasts app does the same thing, as well as jumbling up dates. Very impossible to find the correct episode.
    APPLE, please tell me you are reading this and that a fix is quickly under way!!

  • Since upgrading to iOS 7.0 on my 3G iPad I have been unable to send SMS's, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I have recently upgraded my 3G iPad2 to IOS 7.0 and I have since then been unable to send SMS's (not using iMessage). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Thanks everyone, I thought that I had lost some functionality since upgrading as I can only send messages via iMessage and in our household there are 4 iOS devices and whenever anyone sends a message they do not receive the reply but it does come up on my iPad ( I don't always carry my iPad) so it can be hours before realising that the message has been received. The only solution I have is to turn off iMessage on the iPad and then everyone receives their messages normally.

    Then Restore your iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, talk to Verizon and see if they know of the problem and if there is a fix. If not, then make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • I've been attempting to download Mavericks since last nightto no avail.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  How can I download Mavericks to my macbook pro?

    I have been attempting to download Mavericks since last night to no avail.  I've clicked the Download  and the Install Apps buttons, but nothing happens.  It just sits there.  I thought it was downloading last night since it read "downloading," but after more than 3 hours of that, I realized nothing was really happening.  Today, I've been clicking the Install App button, but again nothing happens.  Is anyone else having this problem?  How do I get this new operating system on my macbook pro, OSX 10.7.5?

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • My MacBook won't sync my iPhone since I downloaded IOS8, is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

    Since I downloaded IOS8, my iphone will not sync with itunes on my MacBook, which means I'm also having difficulty doing a simple manual backup of my ios device to my MacBook. The fact that my MacBook has a 32 bit processor and runs on OS X Version 10.6.8 (as good as it gets), is, apparently, the root of the problem since I've never had this problem with previous ios versions. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem and what is Apple doing about it?

    I have the same issue, except I am running an i5 iMac (64-bit) with 10.10.1 installed.  I can't tell if it is an iOS issue or an iTunes 12 issue.  It started happening to me when I got the iPhone 6 AND upgraded to iTunes 12.  It wouldn't connect my iPhone nor my iPad 2 (running older iOS).  I had to install a fresh version of iTunes and it "sort of" helped.  It will see the devices now, but then it forgets and I have to reboot occasionally for them to be seen again.
    This is a big problem and seems to be pretty wide spread.

  • Since installing 10.7.3 Mail and Address Book no longer load and report errors. Anyone else experiencing this? Safari works fine.

    Everything worked fine prior to the installation. I am aware of bug issues that people are reporting with regard to no applications working and strange error messages. My MacBook Air is fine; my wife's MacBook is fine. It's my iMac 12,1 that isn't.

    It is an enormous crash report error rather than a short message. Both Address Book and Mail crash. I restored my iMac to pre-10.7.3 and everything worked fine once more. I downloaded and installed 10.7.3 as a combo a short while ago and the crash report for Address Book and Mail once more returned.

  • HT1222 ever since updating my iPad to its 5.1.1 my apps are constantly crashing, including safari, Netflix and others. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Dos anyone know how I can report it to apple? I'm having a hard time finding where to do that.

    Just as I was posting this question, my entire iPad crashed, giving me the symbol indicating it was revving back up it I had to plug it in & press the main power button to get it to come back.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
