Extremely slow performance transferring data over USB with Time Capsule

I have the 2TB wireless Time Capsule. I have it setup as an extension to my current WiFi at home, since I already had a WLAN router. I have an external harddrive (500gig) that I connected to my Time Capsule because I wanted to transfer data from the Time Capsule to the external HD. The external HD is formatted with FAT32 file system, so read/write is no problem.
When, using my MacBook Pro, I navigated to the Time Capsule and dragged files over to the connected USB harddrive (connected directly in the Time Capsule), the performance to transfer is extremely SLOW! It was slower than doing the transfer completely wirelessly (USB drive connected to laptop and transfer wirelessly from TC)!
I do not understand this at all! It should be a simple transfer using the USB connection! When I do a transfer from my laptop directly to the USB harddrive, with it connected directly to the laptop, the transfers are super fast!
What happened? Can someone please explain this or tell me what I need to do?
Thank you!

I am still confused here.
My original question was regarding the use of my USB external harddrive. It was connected to the back of the TC. The TC was wirelessly speaking to my WLAN router. Using my laptop (also wirelessly speaking to WLAN router), I navigated to the TC and saw 2 listings - one for the data on the harddrive in the TC and one for the new external USB drive connected to the back of the TC. I wanted to transfer data from the harddrive in the TC to the USB external drive. Based on what I expected, I thought the transfer rate would merely be limited by the USB 2.0 interface that is being used by the external drive. However, I was definitely wrong! The transfer rate (shown by the estimate in time to transfer the data by my MacBook Pro) was doubled to 14 hrs.
Originally, it was only 7 hrs when the USB external drive is connected directly to my laptop and I connect to the TC wirelessly. Weird!
So why doesn't the TC simply transfer the data from its internal harddrive to the external USB drive directly without using any wireless technology?
The second question I have is regarding the setup of the TC itself. I have a NetGear WLAN router and its an "n" router. So the speed is good. I have my TC currently downstairs from the WLAN router. Therefore the TC is setup as simply a wireless harddrive. It speaks through the WLAN router in order to be available to all my laptops in my house. My question is whether it should instead be directly connected to the WLAN router using an ethernet cable? Would this improve my overall transfer rates to/from the TC?
Thanks so much.

  • Airtune Over Ethernet  with Time Capsule or Airport Extreme

    Can the previous generation Time Capsule or Airport Extreme bridge an ethernet client to an Airtunes network?
    Current Setup: I have an aluminum iMac wired to my Time Capsule; currently, I use the aluminum as a music server by connecting to several Airport Express clients over the the iMac's built-in Airport for Airtunes support.
    Problem: I have 3-802.11g clients dragging my wifi network. I would like to dedicate the iMac's internal network to the g-clients so I don't have to use compatibility mode for my n-network. However, I will lose Airtunes speaker support when I use internet sharing over the built-in Airport. Airtunes does not appear to support the Time Capsule ethernet client.
    Nodes:
    -AE 802.11g (Airtunes only)
    -AE 802.11n (Airtunes and USB printer)
    -1st gen Time Capsule (Internet gateway, "creating network" 802.11 g/n,
    -iMac 8,1 (Music server via internal wifi, wired TC client)
    -Macbook 4,1 (wifi client)
    -iPhone
    -Canon MP620 (USB to iMac, wifi to Macbook)

    Further to Bob's comments..
    A Gen1 TC will be using marvel wireless chip and your 2008 and 2010 Macbook will use atheros and/or broadcom cards.. Just open your system profiler and look for info on the airport. We find the mixture of wireless chipsets especially older draft N and later N products can give very varied results.
    The very fact you are linking at 270 and not 300mbps shows some reduction from theoretical max speed.. and really to get over 100mbps with any wireless you need perfect setup.. matched wireless chips etc.
    Do a test uploading and downloading a file to the TC to see if the LAN speed is better than internet speed.
    In reality I think you are doing especially well.. we see loads of people complaining about slow internet here who are getting less than 10% of the speed they get direct when routed through the TC. And on most occasions the limit in speed is not really going to affect what you do, as the real links to the internet are not that fast.

  • I just got a new MacBook Air -- Moving data over from the Time Capsule over WiFi??

    I just bought a new MacBook Air because my MacBook Pro 2008 died completely. I own a Time Capsule and it backed up regularly. I'd like to just move over all my data to my new 256GB MacBook Air, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing the Time Capsule over WiFi? I had the Time Capsule set to backup over Ethernet. Does this mean I can only access my files vs. Ethernet? Does that mean I need a USB to Ethernet adapter?

    Backing up other Ethernet doesn't prevent access via Wi-Fi.
    If the Time Capsule creating a wireless network?  If not, you'll need to configure it to do so in order to allow the MBA to connect to it.  If it does, can you connect the MBA to the Time Capsule's network?
    Depending on the amount of data you want to transfer, using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter would help things run faster.

  • SSRS Extreme Slow Performance on Grouping / DrillDown Action with Internet Explorer

    Hi 
    I have an Infrastructure with SQL Server 2012 / SSRS 2012 / VS 2012 and IE 11 and custom authentication.
    Reports can be opened in reasonable time, despite when they are grouped, they are silly slow (2-10 min for 1000 records).
    I've already checked the other well known topics causing the same issue with stored procedure parameters and "keep together". 
    I think this could be a Internet Explorer Bug, because in SQL Server Profiler the queries are running fast (< 3sec.) and also the SSRS executionLog 2 shows fast performance. Unfortunately I can not try to compare it with another browser, because we need
    the Custom Authentication Module.
    Surprisingly when I group the rows, but do not use the +/- symbols for drilldown, the report is processed in zero time, as well as when I have no grouping, just plain rows... 
    Any Idea? Could it be a security setting blocking something?
    Cheers Lu_F

    Hi Lu_F,
    As per my understanding, there are grouping and drilldown report in the report, the report can run in reasonable time even through there is grouping, if you expand drilldown reports, the report runs very slowly.
    Report server performance is affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount of data in a report, and output format. In this case, in would recommend you open the report in the Report Manager
    from the Report Server machine, and check if the Drill-Down works as expected. If it works, please contact your network team to fix the network issue. By design, the Drill-Down uses JavaScript to do a postback to the report server to expand or collapse the
    toggled items. If there has a network issue, the action will be a little slow.
    In addition, in order to improve the performance of the report, we can split drilldown reports into parameterized drillthrough reports, because Drillthrough reports do not run until a user clicks the drillthrough link in the main report. Drilldown reports
    process all data even when the data is first hidden. You can also add cache and snapshot for the report if you don’t need up-to-date results, this means that you will not see newest data until it is refreshed.

  • My Dell pc hangs while transferring data to/from the Time Capsule

    Hi,
    I have a really weird problem.
    I bought the TC yesterday and I set it up in "bridge mode". So it is connected to my ADSL modem/router via ethernet cable (plugged into the WAN port on the TC) and it creates a wireless network.
    My ADSL modem/router is a Zyxel and it's also a wireless router.
    My old network setup was wireless-only: the zyxel modem/router was providing access for my Dell PC and my PowerBook.
    Now the modem/router is only working as a modem and the TC is providing wireless access for both computers.
    Now. Yesterday I was testing the whole thing and I was copying files from the mac to the TC and viceversa. No problem, everything smooth and fast.
    Then I tried to copy a file from the pc to the TC and... BOOOM. The pc HANGS big time as it never did before! Not even the mouse is responding, I just have to restart it. Before copying, everything works fine: internet is ok, I can see the TC disk, I can access it etc... everything looks ok. But after few seconds/minutes into the copying, KABOOM.
    My PC is a DELL OPTIPLEX GX620, almost three years old. I updated BIOS, chipset driver and the Zyxel wireless adapter's driver.
    Nothing. Exactly the same.
    My suspect is the Zyxel wireless adapter that is using the "g" standard. In my old network setup all the devices were using the "g" standard. Now the TC is using the "n" standard and, even if it downgrades automatically to "g" to be compatible, it might be that the Zyxel adapter is not handling it very well and it hangs making the whole PC hang as well.
    Specs:
    PC: Dell OPTIPLEX GX620 with Windows XP (up to date)
    Using a Zyxel G-202 wireless adapter USB (connected to the USB 2.0 back port)
    Mac: PowerBook 15" almost 4 years old with Tiger (up to date)
    TC: Brand new with firmware 7.3.2
    Modem/Router: Zyxel with 4 ethernet ports and wireless (can't remember the model)
    Unfortunately I can't access the modem/router configuration.
    Any idea? Should I try with a different wireless adapter for the PC? Or am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Marco

    Sorry for my poor english.
    What I meant is that my two computers are not connected to the modem/router wireless network anymore and there's nothing else connected to it, except for the TC itself. So the modem/router is, of course, still a router, but it's only used as a modem.
    Do you mean I should set the TC as a normal client on the modem/router wireless network? But if I do so, it will work for sure because my PC will then join the modem/router wireless network (and not the TC's anymore) as it always did.
    Or maybe you meant something else?

  • Backing up Mac HD with Time Capsule AND an external hard drive

    I am sure that this question has been asked one way or another but I can't seem to find the exact answer.
    I would like to back up my Mac HD with the Time Capsule AND another hard drive essentially to create two backups. Should one fail, I still have another copy as a precaution. The Time Capsule will be my primary back up because my external hard drive is usually switched off and will only be turned on from time to time to perform "less frequent" backups.
    With Time Capsule AND the external hard drive on, will Time Machine just update the backup on the external hard drive without becoming confused with the other copy on Time Capsule? In other words, can Time Machine distinguish between two different Time Machine Backup files and bring them up to date accordingly?
    I understand there is an archive function on the Time Capsule, which would also serve the purpose. However, I am wondering if there is another way.
    Thanks.

    I don't think it's possible to configure Time Machine to back up to two locations without modifying its settings frequently.
    You might consider using that external drive to hold a bootable backup. You can create such a thing with either of the utilities SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you pay the registration fee for SuperDuper! (~US$28), there's a mode where it will back up only what has changed, which makes the backup operation run quicker. (Carbon Copy Cloner may offer a similar feature.)

  • Extremely slow performance with Radeon HD 7870

    Hi,
    I am using a number of Adobe programs on my new Windows 8 64 bit system, with 16 gigs of ram, an Intel Core i5 2.67ghz, and AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 gig. All the programs (including After Effects and Illustrator) work very well with the exception of Photoshop CS6 64 bit, which has extremely slow performance with Use Graphics Processor enabled in my preferences (which Photoshop selects by default). If I turn off Use Graphics Processor, the slow performance vanishes. If I change Drawing Mode to Basic, there might be a slightly detectable improvement over Normal and Advanced, but it's still horribly slow. The refresh rate seems to be just a few frames per second. Everything is slow: brushes, zooming, panning, everything.
    I've tried changing the settings I've seen suggested elsewhere: I switched Cache levels to 2, history states to 10, and tile size to 128k. No effect. Photoshop is currently at the default of using 60% of available ram. Efficiency has remained at 100% throughout all my tests. Also, this slow performance has affected me from the moment I installed Photoshop; it didn't crop up after previous good performance. The problem exists regardless of the size or number of documents I have open. Performance is still terrible even when I create a 500 x 500 pixel blank new canvas and try a simple task like drawing with the brush.
    Photoshop is fully up to date, and so are my graphics drivers (Catalyst version 13.1). Any help would be greatly appreciated; at the moment performance is so bad in Photoshop that it's unusable with graphics acceleration enabled. Thanks in advance for replying.

    Great news!
    I followed your suggestion, Noel, and uninstalled my drivers with the Catalyst Uninstall Utility (which I hadn't used before), rebooted, reinstalled Catalyst 13.2 Beta 7, rebooted, deleted the PS Prefs, started PS, and now the performance is radically improved!
    It baffles me why I would need to do a clean driver uninstall in a new system environment that has only ever had this video card, and is only a few months old, but that action seems to be what's improved the situation. Note that because I deleted the PS preferences, the good performance now occurs with the default Use Graphics Processor enabled, and Drawing Mode set to Advanced (with every feature in the Advanced dialog checked except 30bit display).
    Having no reference point, I can't tell for sure if performance is as good as it theoretically ought to be for my system specs, but using the standard 13px brush is only slightly laggy behind the cursor, even if I become reckless and squiggle on the canvas violently. It wasn't just sluggish response before: Photoshop seemed to be in pain trying to draw the line segments as it laboured to catch up to the cursor. That is pretty much gone now.
    Much more tellingly, zooming and panning the canvas is like it ought to be, responsive and clean, more or less like it was for me in CS4 with my old Nvidia 9600GT. The poor performance with zooming and panning was the most worrying aspect of the issue. It's a great relief to see these working more properly now.
    I have to confess I'm a little embarrassed to have drug you through all this hassle only to discover that something as rudimentary as properly cleaning out the drivers would be the apparent solution. I never would have imagined that doing that, with such a new and stable system, would make any difference, since I don't have a legacy of older drivers dotting my hard drive. In any event, I'm really grateful that you guys took the time to try to help me.
    In the interest of completeness, here's the relevant portion of my system info after doing the reinstall steps I mentioned above:

    As you can see, the Microsoft Basic Render Driver still appears as a Video Card in the list. This presumably has something to do with Windows 8, and I really don't know if its presence here is still a sign that my card is not being used to its optimal capability. I have a hunch that the slight lag that I am still experiencing with the brush when Use Graphics Processor is on -- totally absent with the acceleration turned off -- implies that Photoshop is still unable to take maximum advantage of my card. I would assume that the brush tool should be more responsive with acceleration on than off, in a rig without any issues, but that's just assumption on my part. If you turn off Use Graphics Processor on your systems, is the brush tool more or less responsive?
    But again, panning the canvas with the hand tool is now extremely responsive, without any screen tearing or visible lag, and that's a massive improvement over the total meltdown of performance I was suffering from before.
    Thanks again very much for your help. I'm grateful to all of you who took the time to chime in.

  • Slow Performance when using USB HD with Time Capsule

    I have a 500 GB Time Capsule that I primarily use for network storage for 4 computers (3 Windows and a MacBook Pro). There is about 250 GB of data on the TC. After doing my research, I hooked up a 2 TB WD My Book to the TC USB port (after first reformatting the My Book using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). TC recognized the NAS HD just fine, but when I tried moving files from the TC to the My Book, it took FOREVER. 66 hrs to copy all 250 GB; 46 hours to move 60GB). I tried connecting the My Book directly to my MB Pro via USB and files moved quickly (15 minutes for 10GB). With the My Book connected to the MB Pro, I can access TC over Wifi and copy files directly onto the My Book in little time (again about 15 min for 10 GB). Any idea why the USB transfer rate between TC and the NAS is so slow? I have the most current TC firmware.

    That thread is 5 years old
    ???? It's from three days ago. The electronic book it references was updated last year.
    Plus that was talking about a 2002 Airport Extreme base station, whereas I have a 2009 Time Capsule.
    As I mentioned above, the source I quoted is from last year. The thread I cited mentions nothing about
    a particular year of base station. Where do you see that stuff?
    As for my wifi connection, it seems very fast in all respects. As I mentioned, when I connect the external HD to my MacBook Pro and transfer files over my wifi from the Time Capsule, it boogies along. At any rate, I am not sure why the wifi would have an affect on the transfer rate of 2 disks connected by a USB cable.
    My point was that, if that data has to travel over your Wi-Fi connection, the quality of that connection could affect the transfer speed you see. To investigate that possibility, I'd connect your Mac to the AirPort base station via Ethernet, turn your Mac's AirPort circuitry off, and repeat your tests that way.

  • Slow Wifi speed when transfering data from USB drive?

    Hello guys,
    Am I the only one to get slow WiFi speed when transfering data from USB disks or keys?
    This is the new Mac Mini July 2011 (Macmini5,2)

    Hello again,
    I'm also having this issue when using a Bluetooth Magic Mouse when downloading file. Is it a problem with the firmware or the BUS?
    Anyone have the same issue?
    Thanks

  • Airport Express and USB Hard drive and extremely slow performance

    HI Guys,
    I seem to having a lot of trouble with an Airport express and a Lacie 1TB drive. While I have solved several problems by updating firmware and enabling journalling on the Lacie, I am still having problems with extremely slow performance with my macbook, particularly using itunes and Firefox.
    Any ideas and any further information needed?
    Regards

    HI,
    I formatted it using the Lacie setup program for Mac and later enabled it for journalling using Disk utility. This seemed to solve a lot of the recognition problems I was having, however the I-Tunes and firefox performance is still atrocious. If I do Need to completely reformat it using Disk Utility, will I lose my files on the disk now?
    not if you move them to a temporary location before you start.
    yes, you are better of formatting the drive with DU.

    A very quick scan of your results show at least two things:
    uninstall the Intego Virus Barrier,
    and, unless you need it, uninstall Teamviewer.
    Both will slow down the performance (do a Google search on Teamviewer).
    As an aside, you have the minimum of 4 GB of RAM; if your machine allows it, double that to 2 x 4 GB. You and your Mac will be much happier with its performance in general.

  • It is possible to charge an iPad3 over USB and transmit data over USB at the same time?

    Hello,
    it is possible to charge an iPad3 over USB and transmit data over USB at the same time?
    If yes, how?
    Thanks
    Best regards

    OK!?
    That is right that the USB data oins are not connected to +5V pin.
    But i found a description for a self built power supply for iPad.
    http://timothyb.net/DIY_iPad_2_USB_Charger.html
    and
    https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/262610?goto=2726627#2726627
    The description say: data pin D- need a voltage level of 2V and D+ 2,857V
    when the data pins have this special voltage levels and VCC has +5V only then the iPad is charging.
    The voltage "D+/D- coding" is the key for the iPad to charge.
    OK now back to my problem.
    The regular USB data pin voltage level is 0,3 - 3.,0 voltage. When the iPad is charging the data pins have this special voltage level. Now i try to transmit data over the usb data pins with the. Normaly the USB port transmit the data with a voltage level of max. 3V.
    And here my problem. The higher voltage level at the data pins cares therefor that the iPad stop the charging.
    Is that correct?

  • Extremely slow performance on projects under version control using RoboHelp 11, PushOk, Tortoise SVN repository

    We are also experiencing extremely slow performance for RoboHelp projects under version control. We are using RoboHelp 11, PushOk and a Tortoise SVN repository on a Linux server. We are using a Linux server on our IT guys advice because we found SVN version control under Windows was unstable.
    When placing a Robohelp project under version control, and yes the project is on my local machine, it can take up to two hours to complete. We are using the RoboHelp sample projects to test.
    We have tried to put the project under version control from Robohelp, and also tried first putting the project under version control from Tortoise SVN, and then trying to open the project from version control in Robohelp. In both cases, the project takes a ridiculous amount of time to open. The Robohelp status bar displays Querying Version Control Status for about an hour before it starts to download from the repository, which then takes more than an hour to complete. In many cases Robohelp becomes unresponsive and we have to start the whole process again.
    If adding the project to source control completes successfully, and the the project is opened from version control, performing any function also takes a very long time, such as creating a topic. When I generated a printed documentation layout it took an astonishing 218 minutes and 17 seconds to complete. Interestingly, when I generated the printed documentation layout again, it took 1 min and 34 seconds. However when I closed the project, opened from version control, and tried to generate a printed documentation layout, it again took several hours to complete. The IT guys are at a loss, and say it is not a network issue and I am starting to agree that this is a RoboHelp issue.
    I see there are a few other discussions here related to this kind of poor performance, none of which seem to been answered satisfactorily. For example:
    Why does it take so long when adding a new topic in RH10 with PushOK SVN
    Does anybody have any ideas on what we can do or what we can investigate? I know that there are options for version control, but am reluctant to pursue them until I am satisfied that our current issues cannot be resolved.
    Thanks Mark

    Do other applications work fine with the source control repository? The reason I'm asking is because you must first rule out that there are external factors causing this behaviour. It seems that your it guys have already looked at it, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
    I have used both VSS and TFS and I haven't encountered such a performance issue. I would suggest filing it as a bug if you rule out that the problem is not related to external influences: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

  • My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime I try to do something, the screen will freeze and the pinwheel symbol would appear. How do I pix this?

    My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime i try to do something, the pinwheel symbol will pop up. I do not have an antivirus software until recently, which I got free from school and it said my mac has a virus, which has been quaratined. Unfortunately the problem still persist. Help?

    kasturi pryanka,
    your current slow performance might have been caused by installing that antivirus software. Have you tried disabling it, to see if that make a difference with its performance?

  • Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

    recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ?  I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

    If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.
