Firewire - Speed issue!

I'm having trouble with the transfer speed to my external harddrive over my Firewire(400Mbit/sec). It's even faster or at least as fast over USB.
It's nothinh wrong the harddrive or the cable, I've tested it with a new Macbook Pro(Firewire 800Mbit/sec) and it's at least a 10 times faster transfer speed than the one I get.
What's the problem?

Are you plugging the drive into your Mac directly, or are you going through a hub/port replicator?
Also, have you checked the Console output to see if there are any lines that might indicate what's causing the problem? I've had some FW400 devices with a faulty controller chip in the past, and the Console output was what helped me discover the failing components.

Speed Issues

Greetings and Salutations,
I'm having speed issues with my Adobe AIR application. From what I've read on the web, AIR is supposed to be fast at drawing graphics. I am writing an application which has multiple screens. On one of the screens I have a tab (SuperNavigator) which has a canvas on it. That canvas has a series of other canvases (built with a repeater) that have graphics in them. I am having speed issues when I have more than 50 of these children canvases. I've tried running it without the graphics (code below is without the graphics) to see how it performs. When I have 954 of these canvases being drawn it takes about 2.5 minutes to draw. This is unacceptable and I'm wondering if this is something I've induced or if AIR was never meant to handle such a large amount of canvases (actually this isn't a large amount, in a real world environment there could be a lot more). I've included relevant clips from the code. There are a couple empty boxes that in the real application will hold graphics.
The class withing the Tab Navigator is a canvas.
In the action Script (the setter line takes 2.5 minutes to get past) (it's binding to the repeater that seems to be my problem).

I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback you could provide.

The Canvas is a very heavy object that has lots of overhead. Even worse is the VBox object that is in there multiple times.
What exactally are you trying to accomplish? Just looking over the code, it seems that the same could be done directly with the Graphics API, at a much faster rate.
For each of the VBoxes and Canvases you have, the entire size of each child and parent need to be re-evalulated each time you add or change something. This is a HUGE overhead, and probably why the app is running so slow. You may need to convert this app to use simpler objects (UIComponent or something lower-level like that) to get any speed.
Are you using Flex Bulder? Take a look at the app while the Profiler is running to see what I'm talking about.

Speed Issues Fixed In 9.1.2

Lost all my thumbnails updating to iPhoto 9.1.2 but rebuilding the thumbnail database solved the problem. Best of all, the speed issues are finally gone in iPhoto 9.1.2. Opening the application is way faster again (2 seconds as opposed to 12 seconds or more). Scrolling is way faster again. Can't believe it took this long for Apple to fix this mess. Nevertheless, iPhoto '11 feels like iPhoto '09 once again. Thanks Apple.

Iteration Speed issue when Indexing 3D array wried to a while-loop

Brief Description of my Program:
I am working on the real-time signal generation by using LabView and DAQmx (PCI-6110 card). My vi reads the big data file (typically 8MB txt file containing about 400,000 samples (complex double precision). Then, the signal is pre-processed and I end up with a huge 3D array to feed while-loop (typically 3D array dimension is N x 7 x M where N & M >> 7). Inside the loop, that 3D array is indexed and processed before the results are written to the DAQmx outputs. I have a speed issue when indexing the large 3D array (i.e, 3D array having a large sub-array size). My while-loop could not run fast enough to top-up the DAQmx AO buffer (at the output rate of 96kHz). It could run faster only if I use smaller 3D array (i.e, smaller-sized sub-arrays). I do not quite understand why the size of 3D sub-array affects the rate of looping although I am indexing same sub-array size at each iteration. I really appreciate your comments, advices and helps.
I include my 3D array format as a picture below.
Question on LabView:
How does indexing an 3D array which wires to the while-loop affect the speed of the loop iteration? I found that large dimension of sub-arrays in the 3D array slows down the iteration speed by comparing to indexing the same size of sub-array from smaller-sized sub-arrays of the 3D array to perform signal processing inside the while-loop. Why? Is there any other way of designing LabView Program to improve speed of iteration?
attachment:

Thank you all for your prompt replies and your interests. I am sorry about my attachment. But, I have now attached a jpg format image file as you suggested.
I had read the few papers on large data handling such as "LabVIEW Performance and Memory Management". Thus, I had already tried to avoid making unnecessary copies of data and growing arrays in my while-loop. I am not an expert on LabView, so I am not sure if the issues I have are just LabView fundamental limitations or there are any other ways to improve the iteration speed without reducing the input file size and DAQ output rate.
As you request, I also attach my top-level vi showing essential sections such as while-loop and its indexing. The attached file is as an image jpg format because the actual vi including Sub-VIs are as big as 3MB in total. I hope my attachment would be useful for anyone who would like to reply my question. If anyone would like to see my whole vi & llb files, I would be interesting to send it to you by an e-mail privately and thus please provide your e-mail address.
The dimension of my 3D array is N x 7 x M (Page x Row x Column), where N represents number of pages in 3D array, and M represents the size of 1D array. The file I am currently using forms 3D array of N = 28, & M = 10,731. Refering to the top-level vi picture I attached, my while-loop indexes each page per iteration and wrap-around. The sub-VI called "channel" inside the while-loop will further index its input (2D array) into seven of 1D arrays for other signal processsing. The output from that "channel" sub-VI is the superposition of those seven arrays. I hope my explaination is clear.

Home Hub 3 Speed Issue

Some 6 weeks ago I had an issue with losing my internet connection completly, and eventually after a long session with the help desk I magaged to reconnect using the direct port on the main phone socket. However since then I have had a speed issue and Ive been only getting speeds in the order of 2.3Mb.
However running the BT speed test tells me that the connection to my Home Hub 3 is running at 8.13Mb, but the connection to my computer is running at 2.18Mb.
I have tried every thing I can think of. Followed all the advice to improve the connection but nothing works. Reseting the Home Hub, reseting the factory defaults. I've closed down every program running in the background, disconnected the rest of the hardwired network, fitted a new shorter cat 6 cable. All to no avail. The speed still stays firmly at 2.18 to 2.15. down and 0.37 up.
Could their be a fault with my Home Hub?
Thaks for any advice.
Roy

Windows 7 64bit speed issues

Hi,
Our company have been purchasing iMacs for the past 4-5 years and installing Windows XP without any problems. Last year we started installing Windows 7 64 bit onto, the then current, leopard model without any issues.
We have recently purchased a whole batch of i5 iMacs with lion installed. I have installed Windows 7 64 bit without any problems but have started noticing huge slowdown with what seems to be hard drive access o every single machine. Even a single one we purchased when they first came out.
Using Perfmon I cant see any stress on the CPU, GFX card or RAM but there seems to be something odd with the hard drive access. I have stripped Windows 7 down to its bare minimum services removing Aero, themes, and all non essential services but still the speed issues occur.
I have messed around with the pagefile size, indexing, etc, but nothing is having any impact.
For example, when I save a simple spreadsheet the saving window appears in Windows 7 with the spinning circle for around 30 seconds. This is a tiny file, why is it taking so long. Its virtually instant if done on a Windows XP bootcamp machine or even in Windows 7 on an older Leopard iMac.
There really isnt a great deal regarding this problem oin the internet but it has occurred on all the new i5 Lion iMacs we have.
Does anyone have any other suggestions (serious ones ) that I could try?
I am currently installing the 32 bit version to see if it is a driver issue.
Cheers

isn't apple now using propritary drive firmware in 2011 imac?
I suspect 30 sec is drive delay spinup and is frequently happens with green drives, I have some and do this. swap for WD black or something.

Facing speed issue in my iphone 4, 16gb

Hi Guys
I am facing speed issue in my iphone 4, 16gb. may after updating ios 7, currenly i am using 7.0.4 update.
please help me if anyone have soltion.
Regards
Parveen

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
The iPhone4 runs iOS7 without any issues or performance problems.
Apple does not provide a method to downgrade the iOS on any iDevice. Discussion of such matters in these forums is against the terms of use.

FIX: FireWire communication issue solved - What worked for me

After installing the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, I found that my FireWire devices (not just my iPod) no longer worked. After much messing about with all the suggestions I found online (none of which worked) I've managed to sort out the FireWire communication issues I had.
you can read about the exact issues I had here:
http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35034
and here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1562072
Unfortunately those looking for a quick fix will be disappointed, I had to:
a) Send my iPod Mini back to Apple, which was promptly replaced
b) Totally re-install Windows (including drive format)
c) Borrow the install CD that came with my friends iPod, which had a later version of iPod Updater (2005-10-12) than the one I had on my install CD, but earlier than the dreaded 2006-01-10
If anyone needs this updater (as it's impossible to find an earlier one on Apple's website) drop me your email in here and I'll send you the web address to download it. This is basically a ZIP of the original CD, totally virus free (for those that are worried) and appears to work fine.
If Apple have an issue with this, then why don't you fix the link on your site to this updater; this is simply my response to the complete lack of response from Apple on this matter.
A quick note about the: 'connection rate=S100 ERROR'.
If you discover you have this error when you test your iPod in diagnostic mode; find out how to do this here:
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
Then it appears there is nothing you can do to fix this other than sending it back to Apple. No amount of restoring will solve it.
I hope this helps someone out there! I've yet to fix the issue with my LaCie drive (basically it needs sending back) which if anything proves that whatever screwed my system did something to the hardware on a low level, it wasn't a Windows software issue, because after re-installing it, I download SP2 and ALL the latest hotfixes, if that was the cause, it would have done it again.
This leaves one culprit - the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, as this was the only software I installed at the time both of my FireWire devices went down, avoid it like the plaque.

After installing the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, I found that my FireWire devices (not just my iPod) no longer worked. After much messing about with all the suggestions I found online (none of which worked) I've managed to sort out the FireWire communication issues I had.
you can read about the exact issues I had here:
http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35034
and here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1562072
Unfortunately those looking for a quick fix will be disappointed, I had to:
a) Send my iPod Mini back to Apple, which was promptly replaced
b) Totally re-install Windows (including drive format)
c) Borrow the install CD that came with my friends iPod, which had a later version of iPod Updater (2005-10-12) than the one I had on my install CD, but earlier than the dreaded 2006-01-10
If anyone needs this updater (as it's impossible to find an earlier one on Apple's website) drop me your email in here and I'll send you the web address to download it. This is basically a ZIP of the original CD, totally virus free (for those that are worried) and appears to work fine.
If Apple have an issue with this, then why don't you fix the link on your site to this updater; this is simply my response to the complete lack of response from Apple on this matter.
A quick note about the: 'connection rate=S100 ERROR'.
If you discover you have this error when you test your iPod in diagnostic mode; find out how to do this here:
http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
Then it appears there is nothing you can do to fix this other than sending it back to Apple. No amount of restoring will solve it.
I hope this helps someone out there! I've yet to fix the issue with my LaCie drive (basically it needs sending back) which if anything proves that whatever screwed my system did something to the hardware on a low level, it wasn't a Windows software issue, because after re-installing it, I download SP2 and ALL the latest hotfixes, if that was the cause, it would have done it again.
This leaves one culprit - the iPod Updater 2006-01-10, as this was the only software I installed at the time both of my FireWire devices went down, avoid it like the plaque.

Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10

I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.

In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.

Another Yosemite speed issue

This is yet another Yosemite speed issue. I've done some reading around and read the FileVault can cause an issues, I took a look and I've always have FileVault disabled. I installed EtreCheck and the results came up with a lot of RED and "FAILED". Unfortunately, I have no clue how to being to read this and was hoping someone could shed some light onto this for me.
Here are my results: (Just trying to right-click and paste this took almost a minute)
Problem description:
Installed OS X Yosemite and now Macbook runs extremely slow. I have had FileVault disabled the entire time.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

FireWire Compatibility Issue

I have a '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with 1.25 GBs of RAM with Super Drive running 10.5.5 that I'm backing up to a OWC Neptune using Time Machine. It uses a Oxford 911+ chipset. My previous external hard drive used a Oxford 911 chipset.
Recently I've started getting Time Machine error messages related to some sort of chipset related FireWire compatibility issue. My OWC Neptune's firmware is up to date too. What could possibly be causing this to happen?

I already tried zapping the PRAM due to my ethernet not working on my '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz & it didn't fix my FireWire issues either. I'm also still getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup directory." error.
Here's my Carbon Copy Cloner log from when I tried to clone my hard drive earlier:

VPN Speed Issue

Hi all,
I am having a VPN speed issue. When I am using the internet and not connected to the VPN, I experience speeds of 25mbps/25, which is what my contract with Verizon calls for. When I connect to the VPN with my laptop, speeds drop to about 3/2 mbps. (I am connected via Ethernet hardwire not wireless)
I ran Ethernet wire to the Verizon box and then had Verizon activate. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem. Internet is fine until I connect to the VPN.
I also was able to conduct a test: I connected wireless to an open local network while in the office and then to my work server via the VPN with no noticeable speed issues. This leads me to believe the issue lies with the Actiontec router issued from Verizon?
I only work remotely 1x per week so have been hobbling along with this problem for the past 3 months since our switch from Comcast. (Speed was fine with Comcast ) It is painful as it causes a 5-10 second lag for each click when navigating folders on the remote server. This means it can take me 5 minutes to pull down one PDF file.
Is there a suggested solution for this - should I buy another router?
thanks,
Steve

No, usually, you dont have to wait. You do have to log into the router and go in and release the IP, but most of the time this is all you have to do.
Once in a while it wont release properly, in which case you do have to wait a couple of hours. But most of the time it will release just fine.

Speed issues with Leopard or Kernel Panics try this..

I installed Leopard on a PB G4 1.5Ghz and was getting freezing, speed issues running Adobe apps and more recently kernel panics. Running Disk Utility did nothing.
But one thing worked wonders for me, hope it helps you.
Put the CD for Leopard in the machine and boot from it. Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions of your hard drive.
It took 1 hour 30 mins but it wonders for me, so far....
Hope it helps you.

Funny eh?
I had a similar problem installing Leopard, installation went fine but when I restarted it wouldn't boot past the grey screen. I was disillusioned as I was eagerly waiting for Leopard, but I waited a few days and decided to boot from the install DVD and I repaired permissions, re-installed and it now works fine!
Must be a pre-requisite to use disc utility and fix those permissions!
Go figure?

Last night I rented a movie successully (Argo) but it would not download. Support was called and I was advised that it was probably an internet speed issue. This was confirmed when I did a speed test as suggested. They now want to sell me some software for $40.00. Help

Hi,
No, it was Apple. Last night the movie (Argo) was downloaded. It took about an hour, however it did not open.
I can watch the preview, but can't open it.
Thanks for your interest.

Speed issue: renaming exposed VO in AM data model page

Hi JDev team
I'm having some speed issues with a refactoring option in JDev 11gTP4.
If I open the AM editor, navigate to the data model page, select an exposed VO, then rename it via the View Instance edit button dialog, it takes 1min 25seconds to complete the operation, locking the IDE meanwhile. It (subjectively) feels really disruptive when you're rapidly developing to have to wait this long.
Is this an issue that's been identified and logged as a bug/issue?
Cheers,
CM.

Chris,
as a regional directory you should have access to Drop 6 meanwhile (or any day soon). Can you verify the issue against that build ?
