How can I increase the speed in which Finder refreshes network shares on AD network shares

We have 20 Mac's running OS X 10.7.4 all fully patched. We are running a RAID Array off of an HP Proliant 370 G6 with 48 GB RAM. This server is also acting as our Domain Controller running Windows Server 2008 R2.
We disabled the Mulitcast broadcast and changed IPMonitor.bundle file to timeout after 1 second instead of 5. This allowed users to mount their network folders in 3-7 seconds. Used to take upwards of 2 minutes. We also added our domain to the search domain field in the advanced network
Now the problem is that when the designers go to one of the network shares that our preflight software (running on a different server) deposits the files to it can take between instant refresh and 30 minutes. Some clients will update faster than others. No consistency to issue.
We installed the finder refresher app but this did not work either.
I know their are mixed feelings on Mac's bound to AD networks. I have scoured the forum and other sites. Please advise as to any other modifications to either the server or the client machines that will help.
Bandwidth is not an issue. Gigabit to a Netgear switch and a fiber line from the switch to our main switch. At peak use server bandwidth may hit 30-40 percent of capacity.

How can I increase the speed at which I write to a spreadsheet?

We are trying to acquire data rapidly during a 1.5 second test. We are able to acquire the data at a variety of speeds, but are unable to write it to an Excel spreadsheet any faster than 10 Hz. Is there a way to speed the writing to a file or are we stuck with this rate?
Thanks

Hello,
I noticed your post was in the DAQ group, but you didn�t mention which
programming language you are using. This answer is tailored to
LabVIEW, but if you are using something else, let me know. Since you
are running such a short test, it might be easier to acquire all of
your data first and then write it to a spreadsheet file.
If this is not preferable, you could use lower-level file VIs. Using
a VI such as the �Write To Spreadsheet File� within a while loop is
inefficient since it opens and closes the file each time it writes a
new value. One of the fastest ways to write to a file is to first
open the file. Then in your while loop, perform your data acquisition
and write to the file. Finally, close the file after your while loop
completes. If thi
s is what you are already doing, you could try
writing to a binary file instead of an ASCII file.
Try acquiring your data and then writing it to a file. Or try using
lower-level file VIs to increase the speed of file writing. If this
does not address your problem, please provide some additional
information such as the VIs you are currently using to write to the
file or post all or part of your VI.

My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

It may also be your graphics card. LabVIEW can max the CPU and you
screen may not be refreshing very fast.

Hi,
Not sure you can do anything about this. I get vaiable import speeds - a lot depends on the actual disc. The Read Write spec is 24X but I rarely see speeds close to this.

How can you increase the speed with a slider

I have been trying to work at this for about a week and a
half. I browsed several communities but it seems that noone has an
answer so I am not even sure if this is possible I am not a flash
expert but what I am trying to do is as follows;
I have a movie with several movie clips. I have an animation
of a female walking, I also have a slider that when I move it to
the right bags are added on to her. but what I am also trying to
accomplish is to have her walk faster as the slider moves to the
right.
I tried several scripts but they seem not to work as I wan
them to plus they start to cancel out the bag function.
How could I make this happen if it is even possible. I want
to use the slider to increase the speed of the lady walking. Slider
and Lady are movie clips.
thanks in advance

At present I'm not aware of any way to achieve this exact effect in Muse (where the first screen of a web page is resized to fill the browser window and the rest of the page, as you scroll down, appears to be fixed height layout).

How can I increase the speed of my wifi connection on my iPhone 4?

Hey everybody. Okay, so long story short, my wifi speed on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) is pretty slow. So slow that I almost never turn it on because of the sluggish download speeds. However, I definitely want to have it on.
I use the speedtest app, an my wifi at home (router in the next room) is clicking at:
141ms ping
0.72Mbps Down
0.41Mbps Up.
I'm seeing people on these forums post results like 9Mbps down, 5 up, etc. and I'm envious. How can I improve mine?
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing that can be done on the iPhone to affect the speeds via Wi-Fi, the iPhone simply is not the issue.
What speed is the Internet service provided by your ISP?
Is the wireless router you are connected to an 802.11b? g? or n? router?
Both of these factors dramatically affect performance.
Go to any Wi-Fi hotspot, you'll see a difference in speed.

How can I increase the speed of LabView computing?

Dear all,
I have a problem which I didn`t thought to face.
My problem is the folowing. I have Implemented some applications in Labview but with my great surprise the program is incredibly slow!
One of these was just a simple try to produce sinusoidal signal. I simply made a While loop where the sine of the "i" iteration number was calculated and then
sent to a NI- 6559 DAQ through an USB port and the DAQmx Assistant.
Well this simple program runs at 300 Hz Maximum. A similar program in C can without problems reach 20000 Hz!
Now I am asking if Labview is the wrong choice for more than 100 Hz applications and if it is not convenient to shift directly on C language.
Namely I want to let you know that the apllications I need require a loop speed of at least 800Hz.
Really I cannot understand why the system is so slow. It cannot be otherwise Labview should be unusable for the large part of the applications.
Can you suggest me what I am doing wrong, or maximum speed reachable on a normal 3 Ghz Pentium, 1 Gb RAM?
Best regards
Principiant
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Principiant,
I tried to reproduce your LV VI, which calculates the sine from the loop counter and get a cycle time of 0,125 microseconds, calculating the sine of every degree (0 .. 359). This means 45 us / cycle, which is 22222 Hz.
So it is likely that the communication with Your USB- device is the bottleneck. Is this device capable of buffered output? This would be preferable, it puts a block of data (pattern) into a FIFO and the device sends it to the DAC on its own.
greets, Dave

HT1145 how can I increase the speed of wifi reception?

I was told by the cable TV & Internet tech that I will need to have a WIFI "N" modem to get the most out of the 50 mbps broadband speed coming into the apartment.

I still think you need N wireless to saturate a 50Mbps internet link..
But to the OP test it..
If you download a file via wireless from the Internet and 50Mbps on G wireless you are my hero forever..
If you download a file via ethernet on an old Linksys eg WRT54G it will not do any better than G wireless.. they are simply not up to the WAN to LAN throughput.
So test carefully.. a 50Mbps link should deliver 50Mbps under ideal conditions. usually an FTP source provided by the ISP. If you get poorer speed than that.. replace it with N wireless router.. with WAN to LAN throughput that is at least 300Mbps.

How can I time the speed at which a page loads?

Hi,
I've tested my internet connection speed with a download test from CNET, but I was wondering if there was a stopwatch, that would record the time it took to open a page. Anybody heard of such a thing?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi

You'll see the page load on the left, time load on the right.

Do you mean "Recent Tags" which has an icon a blue-colored folder with a primitive looking magnifying glass over the folder?
That folder does have a limit of 10 results. If you want to create an "All Tags" item on the Boomarks Menu, you can do that by creating your own "smart folder." The process I use is a little involved, so bear with me (also, see the screen shots).
The query used by Recent Tags is:
place:type=6&sort=14'''&maxResults=10'''
So for All Tags we will drop the maximum results limit:
place:type=6&sort=14
''If you prefer your tags in alphabetical order instead of having the most recently used at the top, use this instead:''
place:type=6&sort=1
Go ahead and select the line you want and right-click > copy it.
Next, click the bookmarks drop-down button, expand the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click any existing item, and choose New Bookmark.
In Location, paste the query, and in name, type All Tags (or your preferred description). When you click Add Bookmark, Firefox will add it, but it doesn't show the blue search folder icon. Drag the bookmark to the menu, and it will turn into a functioning search folder.
Success?

How can i improve the speed of my mac?

my mac has 667 MHz, how can i improve the speed?

Sorry if that sounded not very helpful, but basically it comes down to that. Not much can improve the performance of machine of that vintage, to stand up to a current model, unless you spend almost as much on upgrades (some of which to consider are listed below).
Some thought should be given to the budget (money and time and effort) one is willing to spend. The G4 Digital Audio is possibly a good candidate for upgrading for someone who is interested in do-it-yourself computer stuff and bargain hunting for parts. It can even be a fun hobby. But even max-ing out all possible upgrades will still be lacking in performance compared to the current Mac models, I don't actually have any specific benchmarks, just my gut feel. And you may spend a good portion of the cost of a new machine on all those parts for the old machine.
Is this the 667MHz machine (G4 Digital Audio) in question?
http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/digital-audio-power-mac-g4.html
http://eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=g4da.html&title= Power%20Macintosh%20G4%20Digital%20Audio
or is it some other model?
Here are some CPU upgrades, for example:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Processor&T I=2420&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
you can even get a small rebate for your original CPU
http://eshop.macsales.com/Service/rebate-program/
Any of those CPUs should double your processing speed, but you may also need more RAM...or the CPU will just be waiting for data to be read from the virtual memory on the hard drive.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SD512328/
you could max it out with a whopping 1.5 GB, with 3 of these.
and you may need a better video card...
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Video&TI=29 34&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
To add larger and faster hard drives than the original Ultra ATA/66 can handle you would need a PCI ATA133 or PCI SATA card...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ACARD/AEC6280MOB/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATA/
And if you need to install OS X from a DVD, and want to burn your own DVD, you may need a new optical drive, if one hasn't been installed already, to replace the CD-RW:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?Model=162&Type=InternalOpticalDrives&sort=pop
Also, check out the Power Macintosh G4 forums if you have any questions about that particular model, (if I guessed correctly)
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
Even while I am trying to build a case to convince someone not to waste their money on this project, I am thinking to myself, where can I pick up one of these G4 towers to take on this project myself. Maybe a Quicksilver, no a FW400 MDD dual-boot for sure, I still have some OS 9 software. I did about all I can with my G3 Desktop, and spent more than my MacBook cost.

How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
provided the values tach out:2 pulses/revolution and maximum speed = 6000rpm

Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
to work well.
Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
I
have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
in a non-unform manner.
I am currently differentiating
the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
to zero (within a tolerance band).
In the screenshot, the
signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
Many thanks
John

How can Airport increase wifi speed when I am lucky to get 5mbps out of my modem now

How can Airport increase wifi speed when I am lucky to get 5mbps out of my modem now.
Is the Airport a modem in its own right?

The Internet connection speed that you obtain on your network will be limited by the plan that you have with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
No device on your network will be able to make that connection go any faster.
If you need a faster Internet connection speed, you will need to speak to your ISP about a faster plan....at a higher price of course.
The AirPort is capable of providing far higher speeds than your ISP can ever hope to provide. Kind of like having a car that can go 400 miles an hour, but the speed limit is 40.

I own a MacBook Pro 13 inch [dec 2009] 4gb ram. I'm upgrading it to 8gb. Can I increase the speed of the ram from 1066 to 1333 Mhz..?
Which is the best company and is it necessary to buy it from the Apple store.

Let's clear the air here between fact and fiction.
Brand of RAM has little if anything to do with its quality.
A reliable vendor is more important that brand of RAM.
Installing faster rated RAM than required for your computer doesn't result in a faster computer. The RAM still runs at the speed of the system's memory bus.
Installing slower rated RAM than required for your computer will make the computer run slower.
Using faster rated RAM is a tricky business. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not work. This may be due to other factors related to your computer's memory bus speed and clock speed as well as other characteristics of the RAM such as CAS Latency (CL.)
The reliable thing to do is use RAM that meets the specifications set for your computer. That information is found in either the user manual or the system specs.
