How to update without high speed access

How do I get system or other updates efficiently with a new iMac Intel Duo that only has access to 28.8 dial up internet access? The download time adds up to days. Is there a CD update we can get every 3-4 months or something like that? High speed has not come our area of rural Iowa.

Hi GozerMonster!
Take a blank CD to an Apple retail store, and you will probably be able to download and burn updates there, on a demo Mac.
If you do not have an Apple retail store in your area, you can download any update, you may need, on any computer, and then burn to a CD for use on your Mac.
For a faster download, do you have a friend or relative with a high-speed connection?
Visit your local Public Library, they may offer access to computers with a high-speed connection.
Some bookstores & internet cafes have High-Speed connections. If you, a friend or relative, has a portable computer, so this may work for you.
Good Luck!

  • Why does it take 3 hrs to download an update on high speed internet

    Okay so i have a good fast provider on high speed internet but when i seem to download updates on my macbrook pro it takes awhile for it to download. On average its been about 2 hrs longest 4.. Now for example i have app store updating an app which size is about 1.34 gb i starts out at 30 min and then just skyrockets from there. And if i amlooking at it as in the screen is open to the app store update page it takes long but omce i change screens it goes feom 3 hrs to under an hour. I dont if its just me but why does it seem to not be able to multitask? Am i missing something here. I have a 3 year old hp with faster processing capabilities. Please help out. Some one

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

  • How do I setup high speed internet on Sun Solaris 10?

    Hello,
    I have comcast high speed internet. It doesn't work automatically. How can I setup my high speed internet connection to work with Sun Solaris 10?

    Pickup a broadband router, made by dlink, linksys, netgear, SMC or Cisco. If possible get a wireless with 4 port switch built in. This will give you added flexibility if you happen to get another system or a wireless laptop. You want a gateway router that does NAT, SPI firewall, DHCP.
    Plug it into your cable modem then into your sun box, default settings on the router will generally self configure to the broadband you connect to and there will be no problems. However if you are using a DSL or bigpond they require a username and password to get the line active, this requires an initial login to the firewall to pick PPoE on the WAN side.
    Different brands default to different 'non routeable' internal IP's, all are 192.168.x.x, smc defaults to 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x depending on release date, Linksys defaults to 192.168.2.x as does linksys, Netgear defaults to 192.168.1.x, the owners manual will usually tell you this.
    They are generally made to default to a windows box so configuring a unix box has to be done either manually or with the dhcp option. www.dslreports.com has alot of good vendor specific information on configuring these things.
    At any rate you need to create a file in /etc called 'defaultrouter' with the routers IP address, in the smc case it would be 192.168.2.1, pick a couple of outside DNS servers and put them in a file in /etc called resolv.conf in the format
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    copy nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
    pick an address in the 192.168.2 range like .25 and add it in the /etc/hosts file, create a hostname.hme0 file with the host name thats in the hosts file and reboot.
    Then try to ping the router, if no ping then the chang the 3td octet 1 instead of 2 and try again.
    I've never tried doing the .dhcp thing but I've never used dhcp for a sun box before because all I do is servers.
    I think I'd try the DHCP thing first then get to the router to get all it's information and write it down. Usually the ISP will populate the router with dns servers and any dns requests are answered by the router in the dhcp configuration. I think thats about it...

  • How to update without PC

    How do I update my Nokia N85 without a PC/Windows?

    You can try the on device updater (see your user guide for details) but not all updates are released using that method.
    The only other option without windows is to take your phone to a nokia care point.  If you are covered by a warranty the update will be free.

  • How to update without Windows?

    Hi
    I would like to update my e71 from firmware 200. to 400. - but I do not own a copy of Windows.
    I have tried defining a server as detailed here http://www.nokia.co.uk/support/download-software/device-software-update/faq#faq17 but that does not seem to work - is this method still supported? I just get 'Operation Cancelled by the Server' both when I connect via the LAN or by 3g.
    How do us non-Windows users update our phones, please?
    Thanks

    Not many S60v3FP1 phones (such as the E71) support FOTA.
    Even for phones that do support FOTA, it also depends on whether the firmware in question is released via that method. For example, V40 for the 5800 was released only by NSU in the UK while it was released via FOTA in Greece...

  • How to update without Adapter?

    I bought my Ipod in America, it is a new 20gig color photo, but i didn't bother to bring the adapter for the wall with me for obvious reasons. It asked me if i wanted to update and i did, but then it says to plug it into the wall adapter, but i can't and it won't let me do anything till i plug it in, what to do?

    You have to plug it into an AC adapter to finish the update.
    Is there an Apple store nearby? Head over & plug your iPod in there. Or borrow someone's adapter:)

  • How do I get High Speed Wireless internet to work with Linux?

    I have Linux on my computer and I have the Wine Software on my computer to download what need to be installed. As I was trying to download the installment for activation it loaded to the installing part and then it told me there was an error and it couldn't finish installing. If you can help...IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AND VERY APPRECIATED!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Should work if you're connecting for the first time (new DSL hookup). Most areas use OpenPPPoE which pretty much allows you to connect with any user/pass combo set up in the modem's DSL Connection settings. Other areas, mainly out West (sold to Frontier mostly) use DHCP which does not need a User/Pass, but binds the IP address to the modem's MAC address.

  • How do I use the High Speed Data Logger with multiple I/O devices?

    I am using the High Speed Data Logger vi to read from a 16 channel A/D card (NI PCI-MIO-16E). The project may require more than 16 channels. How can I use High Speed Data Logger to read from two A/D cards? Will it be able to write the data to one file?

    The High Speed Data Logger vi will not acquire and right to multiple DAQ boards at the same time without modification. LabVIEW is more than capable of doing this what you are trying to do, but you will have to modify the code.

    You cannot upgrade to iOS 7 via a cell connection. The upgrade is far too large. If you can't use Wi-Fi, you'll need to upgrade via iTunes on your computer. See the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

  • I have an NI5911 high speed digitizer and would like to acquire a video signal from a CCD using it. Does anyone know if this is possible without buying any more hardware please? If it is, how would I go about it?

    The only thing I succeeded in finding on the NI site was about using a different high-speed digitizer in tandem with an IMAQ card but I was hoping not to have to buy an IMAQ card as it means I may as well not have got the NI5911 (a while ago) in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You can certainly acquire video signals with the 5911. The only tricky part is that the 5911 does not have any video triggering options. That means that you will have to either find a way to provide your own trigger based on the video signal (that's where the IMAQ board comes into play) or you can just take a lot of data and keep only the data you need once it is in software. For instance, you could take one large record and then use software analysis to determine where the frame sync occurs. Hopefully this was helpful.

  • How do i change the http setting to high speed

    how do i change the http setting to high speed ???

    Are you experiencing problems with a slow connection in Firefox?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
    See [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
