High synch rate with VERY slow throughput

Help!!!
I'm hoping that the one of the mods on here may be able to intervene and help get my issue sorted.
I had my home broadband upgraded to adsl2 on the 8th of Feb. after 5 years of hassle free service on up to 8 Meg service.
From the day of upgrade (of which has given no significant increase in speed by the way), I've had an issue with fluctuating throughput whilst my synch rate remains rock solid at 6.5-7mb/s.
On any given day I can get my full expected throughput of between 6 and 6.5mb/s but can have long periods of dial up speeds at 40-50kbp/s which can be morning, day or night, so not a peak time bandwidth cap/throttle issue. I have given it the 10 day stabilisation before taking up with tech helpdesk, but after nearly 2 weeks of calls and going round in circles I'm running out of patience.
Can I just add I'm an Openreach engineer who deals with broadband/SFI faults daily so have made sure the issue does not lie within the network or premises. I've also taken a hub and connected it direct on to the adsl out port of the exchange mdf and witnessed the same speed problems, so am in no doubt that the problem is with BT. When I try to explain to the helpdesk advisors it doesn't seem to register. Whether it's down to a fault on my port or a general congestion issue on the backhaul I don't know but just need someone to get to the bottom of it for me
I am awaiting a call back with an update in the next 2 days but judging by the way thing have gone down so far I'm not confident I'll get a result, so was hoping someone on here could help.

in order to get things moving you need to post your router adsl stats and also btspeedtester results. would help if you can post a good set where download is ok and then a poor set for comparison

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

AP1231G-A-K9 access points - very slow throughput - Is TKIP the issue?

I recently setup our small office network using the following setup:
Cablemodem <--> router <--> 1231AP(role root bridge with wireless clients) <-> 1231AP(role non-root bridge with wireless clients)
Code on both APs: 12.3(8)JEE
Office network generally has less than 3 wireless clients connected at any one time to either AP.
AP's are a mere 50' apart; clients are all less than 30' from either AP; they all show excellent signal and connected at 54mbps signaling rates.
All is/has been working very well & very stable with the exception of speed. We have business class service from RR, approx 25mbps dl, 2mbps ul. Any hardwired client to the router switch ports are able to download at speeds averaging 23mbps. Any wireless client connected to either AP is never able to exceed download speeds of 5mbps. With no other wireless clients connected except my one test client, I was not able to exceed 5mbps throughput from either AP that I connected to.
I can confirm that the ethernet connection between the router and root bridge is up at 100mbps-FD and not showing any errors:

Wandering thru the cli on either AP shows that all wireless clients are indeed connected at 54mbps to their respective AP and the two AP's are connected happily at 54mbps signaling:

(The AP root-bridge with wireless clients config is identical to this config with the exception of the station-role and a static IP on the BVI1 interface.)
Are these very slow thoughput speeds normal of this hardware combination?
I did much searching/googling and found claims that by eliminating TKIP it almost doubles the actual wireless speeds our clients can obtain. Is there any truth to this?
Any suggestions or recommendations without changing hardware would be very welcome.
Thanks in Advance!

=============

Ok, thanks for the explanation - I understand. But even at a 22mbps signaling rate shouldn't I be seeing throughputs greater than 5-5.5mbps especially since this location is literally 100% free of any outside interference and the interfaces definitely show the clients and non-root bridge (when connected) all being at the highest rate of 54mbps? I tried even in the same room, approximately 40' away, total line of sight, no obstructions, between my laptop and the root AP.
I disconnected the non-root bridge and connected directly to the root bridge during my testing. I was still only able to achieve approx 5.5mbps download. Adding back in the non-root bridge and re-connecting to it I notice slightly lower throughput, approx 5mbps. During testing, my laptop was the only device connected to the network, all other clients were shut off.
Here are the int stats (I've never reset the counters):

I will try disabling the rates below 12mbps and re-test.
I would like to try disabling all encryption and try as well.
Do you know if the AP's will associate if there is zero encryption?

"Save As" command with very slow Finder response in Tiger

Ever since upgrading to Tiger using the "Archive & Install" option, my applications have had very slow operation of the "Save As" command. The Finder takes a long time to open and display the Save As window with folders and file name etc. This has occurred on all of my computers - a PowerMac G5, an iMac G4 and a PowerBook G4. It has not changed with upgrades as far as 10.4.5. I have tried the following suggested in another post about slow Finder actions without success:
Refreshing and reblessing the following system files and the folder followed by reboot.
1. /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
2. /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
3. /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/
Trashing the following files and a folder followed by reboot
1. /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxx.csstore
2. /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxxx.csstore
3. /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/
I have also deleted the /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and rebooted.
Does anyone else have this problem and how do I solve it?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thank you Roger - this does seem to have solved the problem - my local Apple service people did not have an answer on this, so I'm grateful

Super-rip high bit-rate with x

hi everyone, i was wondering if anybody with the x-fi notice the high bit rate. mine is that high it will not play on a cd player in .wma or .wav, with or without cmss3d, i found that the bit rate i get without cmss3d it's around about 2200bp/s. when cmss3d multi channel it shots up to approx. 5500bp/s. medium settings. anyone else with high bit rates.
john
thanx for any replies

john_g,
If your CD player are not able to support/playback 4/6 channel Wave or WMA Pro/Lossless file. I would suggest you to super rip to normal WMA audio file instead. Choose CMSS-3DHeadphone option instead of CMSS-3DSurround. From there you should have an option of WMA with bitrate of either 92kbps, 256kbps and 320kb
ps.

SRP 541W VERY slow throughput

Hi!
I have had my SRP 541w for just over a year, BUGGER! So it is out of warranty now. Bought it in September 2012. It has been working like a charm since then. A couple of days ago my network speed suddenly dropped to about 10 mbit/s. That is true of all connections LANtoLAN, WANtoLAN and LANtoWAN. All my equipment is 1 gb/s. I have upgraded the firmware to 1.2.6, set the speed of the LAN ports to 1000 FULL, rebooted, tried with only one computer attached nothing else connected. WAN disconnected and throughput between LAN ports, nothing seems to make any difference. Did a factory reset, still no change.
I would really appreciate help on this! I really hope it has not stopped working properly. Not good advertisment for CISCO in that case, One month over warranty and suddenly BANG.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Sven Gustavsson

Got my hands on a multi adatper and plugged that in as well. No change, powerlight flashes and extremly slow throughput.
If it is of any use, the power light flashes 3 times then a few seconds delay, then flashes 3 times then few seconds delay and repeat. This does seem lik an error code of some kind that we have no documentation for. Maybe its time for someone from Cisco to enlighten us as to the nature of the powerlight flashing?

Problem with very slow scale, rotate and translate

Hi -
Here is the basic problem. I want to take a bufferedImage (read from a jpeg earlier on) and then rotate it according to an angle value (radians) and then resize it to fit within a specifically sized box. My code works fine, but... I have to do this in a loop up to 200 times. The process is often taking several minutes to complete. If this is simply a consequence of what I am trying to do, then I'll accept that, but surely I am just doing something wrong? Please help!
Thanks - here is the (working but very slow) code
    public Graphics2D get_shape_image(Graphics2D g, BufferedImage b, double shaperotation, double space_width, double space_height,
            float x_scale_factor, float y_scale_factor, float shapeTransparency){
        // Work out the boundimg box size of the rotated image
        double imageWidth = (double) b.getWidth();
        double imageHeight = (double) b.getHeight();
        double cos = Math.abs( Math.cos(shaperotation));
        double sin = Math.abs( Math.sin(shaperotation));
        int new_width = (int) Math.floor(imageWidth * cos + imageHeight * sin);
        int new_height = (int) Math.floor(imageHeight * cos + imageWidth * sin);
        // Create the new bufferedImage of the right size
        BufferedImage transformed = new BufferedImage((int) new_width, (int) new_height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        // Create the transform and associated AffineTransformOperation
        AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
        AffineTransformOp affine_op;
        // Make sure our image to be rotated is in the middle of the new image
        double x_movement = ((double) (new_width / 2.0d)) - ((double) imageWidth / 2.0d);
        double y_movement = ((double) (new_height / 2.0d)) - ((double) imageHeight / 2.0d);
        at.setToTranslation(x_movement, y_movement);
        affine_op = new AffineTransformOp(at, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
        transformed = affine_op.filter(b, null);
        // Now we need to rotate the image according to the input rotation angle
        BufferedImage rotated = new BufferedImage((int) new_width, (int) new_height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        at.setToRotation(shaperotation, (double) new_width / 2.0d, new_height / 2.0d);
        affine_op = new AffineTransformOp(at, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
        rotated = affine_op.filter(transformed, null);
        // Do the scaling so that we fit into the grid sizes
        BufferedImage sizedImage = new BufferedImage((int) (space_width * x_scale_factor), (int) (space_height * y_scale_factor), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        double xScale = (double) (space_width * x_scale_factor) / (double) new_width;
        double yScale = (double) (space_height * y_scale_factor) / (double) new_height;
        at.setToScale(xScale, yScale);
        affine_op = new AffineTransformOp(at, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
        sizedImage = affine_op.filter(rotated, null);
        // Finally translate the image to the correct position after scaling
        double x_adjust = (space_width / 2.0d) - ((space_width * x_scale_factor) / 2.0d);
        double y_adjust = (space_height / 2.0d) - ((space_height * y_scale_factor) / 2.0d);
        // Set the transparency
        AlphaComposite ac = AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, shapeTransparency);
        g.setComposite(ac);
        // Draw the image as long as it's above 0 size
        if (sizedImage.getWidth() > 0 && sizedImage.getHeight() > 0)
            g.drawImage(sizedImage, null, (int) x_adjust, (int) y_adjust);
        return g;
    }

Your code worked okay in my system: busy at 200fps using 1.0f for alpha and
the x/y scale_factor values.
Here's another approach that isn't quite as busy.

Time Capsule with very slow network throughput

I have a TC that is only supply about 5% of the network throughput it should do.
We ahve a 2MB connection and any computer that is connecting to the TC wirelessly is only getting around 0.1MB. The signal is strong, the noise is low, it's on an isolated channel (no other networks overlapping). It does this regardless of whether I switch to wireless-g or wireless-n (2.4GHz or 5GHz) and regardless of which channel I select.
I plugged in a different TC and I got my 2MB connection no problem.
So I think the first TC is knackered. Luckily it's still under the 90 warrantee. I want to return it to get a replacement, but I can't get through to the apple care telephone service. I've been on hold for 20 mins then got cut off without talking to anyone - this happens every time I call. Why on earth anyone would pay for apple care is beyond me if you can't even get through to Apple!
Can you just take a TC back to an Apple Store and get a straightforward replacement?

Sorted it! I hit the factory reset button on the back and started again from scratch.
There must have been some software issue in the TC itself that could not be addressed through the configuration interface.
I hope this helps anyone who has a similar problem. In summary this is what I was experiencing:
1. When connected Mac Mini to TC with ethernet cable I had top speed access - so no drive writing issues.
2. Set up the TC to share our 2Mb internet connection as a wireless-g network. When connected a laptop to TC via the TC's wireless-g network I had excellent signal strength, low noise, and an uncluttered channel (as indicated by iStumbler) - so no interference issues with other netowrks, microwaves, cordless phones etc.
3. The laptop reported an excellent signal strength and potential rate of 54Mb.
4. Used an online broadband speed tester (www.cnet.co.uk/misc/speedtest) on the laptop to determine the actual throughput. The result was around 0.2Mb. Not good.
5. Tried copying a file from the TC over to the laptop and monitored the throughput using the laptop's performance monitor. The result was still around 0.2MB.
6. Tried changing the wireless-g channel. Same result.
7. Repeated the above with a wireless-n network. Same result.
8. Finally, hit the factory reset and repeated points 2 - 4 above. Got almost 2Mb, which is what I was after!
Hope this helps someone.

Help with very slow old palm desktop 1.0 for MAC

No device
Hi- I am a happy user of Palm m515, and hot synch it to a very old Mac that runs palmpilot desktop 1.0 , cause I like the printouts. Recently, it would start to open the desktop, but it wouldn't open, I think due to out of memory. I purged calendar and todo from my handheld (which I had not done for years), and hot synced it. Address book & memos synced normally, and the syncing of todo's took hours, and I'm not sure it was successful. However, afterwords, I was able to re-open the desktop, and it works, but it is painfully slow, basically not functional.
I realize this is legacy stuff, but if there is anyone out there who has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
And, I have an old iMac G5 that I am about to retire and buy a new iMac, and if anyone has suggestions for replacing the handheld with one that will run a good todo/task program (and recommendation for that one), also much appreciated.
And if there is a way for me to transfer the data from handheld m515 to my new iMac?
Thanks

I had an identical experience when I first got my handheld - the palm software wouldn't install on my iMac properly - the same error came up every time, and while it had successfully installed the desktop, hotsync manager was sadly missing. I spent hours playing with it to no avail, and the only solution I found was using it on my macbook running 10.5x (as opposed to 10.2.8). However, the date on the installer (2002) reflects the last time it was updated, which means that it should run with no difficulty on any machine since then. The .sit compression has nothing to do with it - it is one of the most common compression formats for the macintosh platform. It might help if you posted the exact error message you got, but a fairly common fix is to repair disk permissions for your hard drive in disk utility.
Hope this helps

Macbook Air (OS Lion) with very slow start up

Hi all,
I do not know why but my Macbook Air with OS Lion is taking to long to start up and this problem started without any reason.
The Software if updated.
I surfed on internet trying to find a solution, I experimented several potencial solutions but till now I could not solve the problem.
It is very quick shutingdown but it takes arround 30 min. to start up.
Thank you very much for your help

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

High powered PC with Elements slow? How can that be?

I am running a water cooled custom Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit PC with a 3.2 GHz and 12 GB of RAM. I have over 51,000 high resolution photos. Photoshop Elements 12 is desperately slow. I can't stand it anymore. I must have it configured wrong. Can anyone help?

PSE12 is only a 32bit application on Windows (64bit on Mac) and is unable to use more than about 3gb of RAM.
If you regularly work with multiple large resolution images you could try Lightroom which is 64bit enabled. Lightroom also works with a similar catalog system to Elements but is more powerful. A 30 day free trial is available.
Lightroom 5 also pairs well with PSE12, set up as an external editor.
The only other suggestion, if the slowness is experienced whilst editing, is to allocate a spare volume on your machine, or an external hard drive as a scratch disk. Elements can then use this extra space when RAM is running low.
To set up go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Performance
Also install the 12.1 update if you have not done so. This is a performance improvement update. Launch the updater from the system tray or from the menu in expert mode:
Help >> Updates

Help with very slow connection if apple tv linked to wireless apple keyboard

My husband and I trying to connect the wireless Apple keyboard to our Apple tv so we can get rid of the pesky and cumbersome Apple tv clicker. However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al. We disconnected Bluetooth from our Mac Book Pro as we noticed that the keyboard serves only one master. This did not fix the problem. We are at our wits' end. Your help would be immensely appreciated.
Oh, and also, I had been thinking of installing AirPort Utilty. Is this a good idea and why do I not see it in the AppStore, only on websites of dubious provenance?
Thousand thanks,
J and F
Er, and while we're at it, why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing? This is another clunky thing that simply is opaque.

However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al.
Not caused by the keyboard. It connects via BluTooth, the video services over eithernet. They have nothing to do with one another. There is something else going on. Have you tried connecting ATV via a wired connection instead of WiFi.
why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing?
Because you can only use one AppleId. It would be a huge leagal mess if it displayed content from multiple accounts at the same time. The copyright holders would never allow it.

Anyone else seeing high failure rates with Meraki MR16?

I'm at a small college, with about 110 APs across about 20 buildings. We'd filled up our aging WCS/WLC 4400 wifi system, and so in January replaced it with Cisco/Meraki. We ordered our equipment in late December, and installed during our Winter break. Thus, our first new APs came live about Jan 10th. We started by expanding our wifi coverage into four dorms, and then swapped out the 75 Cisco APs from our old system.
I had two MR16s fail withn the first couple weeks. Got an email report that they were offline, and on investigation found that they had only the Power LED lit orange. No response at all to the reset button, and no sign that they are attempting to boot (No console port on the MR16, but it doesn't seem to boot enough to give any error signal via the LEDs.)
Since then I've had four more failures, for a total of six out of 105 APs deployed. (I still have a few in boxes to go spots where I need to pull cable first). None of these were DOA, they all came up just fine, and failed after a week or a few weeks of operation.
I'm assuming that we just got a bad production run or something, but have no idea how wide scale an issue it might be. So, please let me know if you've seen a failure rate above, say, 1% on Meraki APs.
Conversly , if you got a bunch of MR16s in December 2013 or Jan 2014, and they are all working just fine, let me know that, also.
Thanks,
Steve Bohrer

I got an email from a tech who had been involved on my latest ticket about an AP failure:
"I've scheduled the software upgrade for your next maintenance window on Wed 11th June at 6am. Alongside the fix for the issue contributing to MR16 failures the following enhancements are included:
New VLAN debugging tools to help detect VLAN configuration problems
Distributed layer 3 roaming (no concentrator appliance required)
802.11k (radio resource management) and 802.11r (fast BSS transition) wireless protocols
Hotspot 2.0/802.11u wireless protocols
Enhanced stability and performance improvements"
He also suggested that I could push it out sooner by logging into dashboard.meraki.com and then going to the Configure > Network-wide settings page. On that page, in the "Firmware upgrades" section was the date the tech mentioned, but also the options to "Reschedule the upgrade" and to "Perform the upgrade now". I scheduled it for early the next Saturday morning.
(These options are usually greyed-out if your firmware is up-to-date. The page also notes when you last did an upgrade; however, I don't know if there's anything that shows the firmware version you are running.)
I asked the tech who sent the above for more details about "the fix for the issue contributing to MR16 failures" but he says it is not public information.

High speed DSL is very slow

Hi I am barely getting dailup speeds (Verizon speed tests 74k download and 14k upload) on my HS DSL. I've put up with slow speeds for a while but I just can not put up with it any longer. If things do not improve soon I will be forced to go to cable. Youtube is unwatchable, downloads take forever. I am using a westell 327 modem. Any ideas on how to get the promised bandwidth would be apprecated.
jim s

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
Which means
Visit http://192.168.1.1/ for me and do the following:
a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over [b]Troubleshooting[/b], go to [b]DSL[/b], and choose [b]Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to [b]System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.
d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
admin/[b]Serial Number[/b].
By [b]Serial Number[/b], I don't mean type in the words [b]Serial Number[/b]. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.

Synching sent items very slow

Running TB 31.2.0 under osx 10.9.5 against an outlook.com imap account.
The inbox and folders have all synched correctly, however, my sent items folder which contains 2411 emails refuses to synch. It is trying but very very slowly, approx. 1 email per 2/3 minutes. I did try letting it synch over a few days, but it seems to reset and start again. I tried deleting the database index - same problem. Curiously, the sent folder does contain many, many emails. The last email has date 23/10/2014 and I believe all before that date are in the sent folder correctly.
Any ideas please?

You have alot of emails in the Sent folder.
As you use IMAP these emails are stored on the server and it is taking up alot of time just to synch them.
As it is awkward - impossible trying to synch that folder, suggest you try this.
Logon to webmail account using a browser.
Create some folders eg: Sent 2013, Sent 2014 to help organise and reduce file size. They will be your archive of sent emails.
Then move emails as appropriate into those folders.
You can then subscribe to see those folders in Thunderbird if you need to see those emails.
