Have speed improvements been made?

I just want to say that my posts on the forums today have appeared in the topic list nearly instantaneously — which wasn't the case just a few days ago. And if the forum administrators have made speed improvements recently, but are disappointed no-one has noticed, then perhaps this will bring a modicum of satisfaction.
...I wonder if someone "in the know" (Eric?) can indicate whether this is a permanent improvement. If it's merely due to draining the _internet tubes_, it may not be...

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure it explains the particular slow-down I'm seeing...
Displaying forums is as fast as ever, as is the system's acceptance of new posts/replies. The problem is, as I said, that +"posts take a long time to appear"+. ...I list the main forum page and expect to see my just-accepted post at the top of the list, but it doesn't appear for between one and a few minutes after my post has been accepted. Yes, there's a warning to expect a delay, but I'm pointing out that these forums go through periods of near instantaneous appearance of new posts (as was the case a week ago) to a now sluggish appearance of new posts.
The idea that there is a geographic aspect to the problem is perhaps nullified by the comment by MGW (in New Hampshire?) above:
"Actually, the speedup has been noticeable for the past couple of days, having complained bitterly about the clog..."
Also during "clogged" periods, duplicate posts from all over the world tend to appear as members mistakenly think their post, although accepted by the system, didn't "take" and re-enter it — because it doesn't show up in the forum's main list for a couple of minutes or so.
...We seem to regularly go through these alternating multi-week periods of members reporting speed and sluggishness but, so far, with no acknowledgement or explanation from the hosts.
By the way, this post itself took a minute to appear in the main forum list — a week ago, it would have appeared almost instantaneously.

  • I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

    So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....

    You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they give you a refund or credit for some/all of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchaes, Billing & Redemption.
    To stop it happening again you can turn off in-app purchases on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases, and also in Restrictions change Require Password to 'Immediately' - the default is 15 minutes during which it doesn't need to be re-entered.

  • Syncing iphone: Itunes says settings have changed, asks if i want to apply these changes, but no changes have been made?

    Itunes 11.3, but this has happened for quite a while, several versions at least. Iphone 5, Ipad 2, this happens with both devices. I sync locally to my macbook pro (late 2011 version, running 10.9.4), using a wired connection.
    I will have the 2 devices hooked up via the factory supplied cords. Doesn't actually matter if it's both or just one device. If I have, for instance, the iphone selected via the sidebar, and am displaying the Summary tab, normally you have a sync button to the lower right. Quite often, this will randomly change to two buttons, - Apply, Don't apply, as if I have made settings changes or something, although I haven't. No changes have been made. If I select a different device in the sidebar of itunes, a pop up will open asking me if I want to apply the changes? I say no, all is good. BUT - it's annoying!
    Is there any way to make this stop?

    No-one? Am I the only one? I doubt it...

    Is there a fix for seeing bolded dates in navigation calendars for shared calendars (when appts have been made on certain dates) as was the case in Office 2003?
    Looks like in 2011 someone posted on the forum that it was being looked into, but has there been a fix?  It's now two years later?
    Thank you!!

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that the issue is related to Outlook 2003. This forum focus on Exchange 2013. Additionally, Outlook 2003 is no longer supported in Exchange 2013.
    I suggest we can ask this question in Outlook forums for more professional answers:

  • Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    Is there a way to print something showing all the purchases that have been made and what the total cost is?

    While it is not possible to directly print your iTunes account purchase history within the iTunes Store, you can take a screnshot of your purchase history on your computer, and then print that screenshot.
    The following article explains how to review your purchase history:

    Help!! I'm using a Mid 2012 MBP retina 2.3Ghz i7 with 8GB of ram 256SSD. for the past 2 years my write speeds has been consistently on 400MB/s and up via black magic test. but now it only have 100MB/s going down to 80MB/s. what should I do???? I have already cleaned and even restored my MBP still it's on 100MB/s. please help. I have to finish tasks on a timely manner.

    No. This requires completely repartitioning the SSD. You can do that only by using the Network Recovery method or the method I outlined. My method preserves all your data and doesn't require doing a slow Network Recovery. But if you wish to do that instead. The purpose of the whole exercise is to "clean" the SSD of garbage collected during use that tends to cause the SSD to slow down as you've described.
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button. Set Zero Data - one-pass, click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • ITunes video reloads itself when no selection changes have been made.

    Various video content reloads itself on my devices (iPad Air 2, iPad 2, iPhone 5, and iPhone 4) even though no selection changes have been made (no additional video selected, or deleted) between syncs.  This issue turns a sync operation that should take less than a minute into 30 minutes or more!  Since this issue has manifested itself across multiple devices, the common factor being my MacBook Pro must be the bad link.
    Updates of OS and iTunes have not been enough to repair whatever is wrong....  I hope someone has a simple correction.  Apple Support at local store, on phone, and Apple Engineering have not been able to help.
    I believe I might need to somehow remove iTunes at a minimum (maybe OS too) from my MacBook Pro and rebuild it with best hopes of this issue finally correcting itself.  Does anyone know how to go about a clean removal installation of iTunes and/or OS?  Any other suggestions?
    Thank you!

    eeek. there was a hassle with video podcasts and QT 7.0.4 where if a file was corrupted in just the right/wrong way it could crash itunes ... but i hadn't seen one crash an entire PC like that before. (i might have missed reports though.)
    is it possible to identify which podcast seemed to be causing you the hassle? or does it seem to happen any time you download any podcast?

    It is a Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.1
    Thank you for answering. I apologize it has taken me so long to get back in here.
    I just realized that I wrote that I installed from app store originally, but I must correct that statement. I never paid for the app so it must have come preinstalled on my 2011 iMac. I was confused since the update is through the store so I assumed I downloaded it. Sorry for any miscommunication.
    So to be clear, even though I have never remotely administered / accessed my computer and I no longer have ARD on my computer, it is normal to have the client update appear in my App Store. Is that correct?
    I appreciate your assistance.
