HSI speed went from ~340kps to ~110kps! Need help!

I've been a Verizon Customer for well over 10 years and this has never happend to me ever.  My internet service has been down before and after Hurricane Irene has hit NYC for about a month now.  About a week ago Verizon High Speed Internet was finally restored, but ever since I have gotten my internet service back my download speed has gone down from ~320-340 kps to nearly ~100 - 110 kps... peaking at about 150 on a good night.  
I have done a speed test on speedtest.net prior to and have gotten results @ download 3.14 Mbps / upload 110 Mbps
Now after another speedtest my results show @ download 1.09 Mbps / upload 0.27 Mbps.  192.168.1.1 shows speeds of 1312 KBits/Sec by 320 KBits/Sec and my speed is not remotely near that number. 
I really hope a technician or somebody on the forums can assist me in some manner or next.  Thank you guys for your time!

  • How to Make  DVD Slideshow From iPhoto? I need help !!!!!

    What's the easiest way to import about 160 photos from iPhoto to a DVD with background music to send to Grandmom as a slideshow? She's 83 and really wants to see a bunch of pictures of her grandkids, and loves the DVDs I've done in the past (using iLife '06). I now have iLife 2009.
    I have attempted to get a DVD with music to burn, but it isn't working. As in the past, I have gone from iPhoto, dropping the selected photos into iMovie, added music from iTunes, and imported that to iDVD but it takes Sooooooo long (seems like this route used to be faster). Any way shorter? More efficient?
    I do it that way because I recall that iDVD in prior versions was restricted to 99 photos, so I always went from iPhoto to iMovie to iDVD. But '09 is different than '06; I can't even get music to import from iTunes or play on the DVD I burned using this rather long procedure(not copy protected, either). So, I'm at a loss.
    What am I doing wrong? How do I do it correctly?
    Step by step instructions would be much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to have a theme but you can have the slideshow begin automatically when the disk is inserted into a DVD player. Go to the Map mode in iDVD and drag the slideshow into the blue box at the far left:
    Click to view full size
    But there has to be a theme for iDVD to drop back to when it finishes the slideshow. BUT you could set the slideshow to loop endlessly so it would never drop back to the theme unless you stopped it manually and exited to the theme. You set the repeat option in the Advanced menu.

  • HT1420 this is the first time i'm about to use this computer to buy songs from itune n i need help

    i need help buying music from itune

    Podcast Producer is part of OSX server and is something I have no experience of. It is expecting your to be running your own server - AFAIK it's not designed for use when you are expecting to host on a commercially run server but I'm not sure about that. You should ask in the OS X Server forum applicable to the version you have. If you are not running OSX server then this program appears not to be suitable for you.

  • Ibook won't boot up on own or from OS installation CD (need help in Yemen)

    Hello,
    I'm currently in Yemen for a few months and my ibook seems to have died on me. The country isn't exactly brimming with Apple support technicians so any advice or suggestions people could give me would be really appreciated.
    I have an older ibook (dual USB G3 which I bought in June 2001). It has the occasional application or OS freezes, but typically restarting solves these. Yesterday, however, when I tried restarting the computer wouldn't boot up - it would get to the gray start up screen with the apple and spinning wheel and would just sit there with no progress even after an hour. I removed the airport card and extra RAM, but no luck.
    I ran the Apple Hardware Check CD, but everything came up clean. I also ran Norton Utilities Disk Warrier and it found Major Errors in some of the directories (I have the list at home if that would help) all of which it said it fixed. However, it wasn't able to complete checking the HD, at one point it tried to find some files and never was able to get any further in the check - it would just sit for hours with no progress. When I tried rebooting the computer on its own it got no further than a gray screen.
    At this point I decided it might be easiest just to reinstall the opperating system. I put in the installation disks (OS 10.2.4) and tried booting up from the CD - the boot up was very slow and ultimately (maybe after 10 minutes) instead of a gray screen with an Apple logo it came up with the "forbidden symbol" (i.e. the circle with the slash through it that you see on no smoking signs).
    At this point I'm not quite sure what to since it isn't booting up from the installation CD - are there any other tricks I could try or reason why it won't boot up from the CD? I also have a copy of 10.4 installation CD but I'm hesitant to install it just because the ibook is such an old computer and it would require the extra RAM to run it (currently I have 300 something of RAM in the computer). I also have a 20 GB external harddrive with me if there's anyway I could boot up with it.
    Three years ago the laptop had major problems and basically died, but went into Apple and seemed to have been fixed and had the logic board replaced. After this point I got a new laptop (which I'm hiting myself for not bringing with me at this point) and haven't really used this computer frequently - maybe 5 to 10 times in the last 3 years, it really is a "spare" laptop. I used it for about a week before coming and it seemed to be working fine.
    At this point I'm really open to any suggestions on how to fix and jury rig it to work for the next 3 months (really I just need to be able to use Word and iPhoto) or so as I won't be using it once I get back to the States. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciate. Thank you very much!!

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Which utility did you use on the iBook? Was it Norton DiskDoctor or Alsoft's DiskWarrior? They are two entirely different things.
    Norton DiskDoctor was developed for OS 9. It doesn't recognize OS X as a legitimate operating system, identifies OS X as "errors" on your drive, and sets about "fixing" those errors, really messing things up in the process. (It does this even if you run it in OS 9 on a drive that has OS X on it.)
    Apple calls the sign you are seeing when trying to boot from the CD a "prohibitory sign."
    Check out this Apple Knowledge Base article on what to do about a prohibitory sign at startup:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805
    Maybe something there will help.

  • Trying to move songs from 1comp to another- NEED HELP

    I was orginally trying to move my itunes folder from my old comp to my new one. Easy enough right? Wrong. I copied the folder and put it on my 40gb ipod then went to put it on my comp. Well it only put bout 1/3 of my music like the first 15 folders. It started saying files were corrupt. Then I started getting the ! with the folder on my ipod. I tried reseting it but that doesn't work and it is fully charged. I'm using Windows XP. Plz help. I just sold my other laptop so I need to get these songs off the other computer.

    I have a similar problem, my hard disk has been reformatted and my library of songs is now only on the iPod, can i transfer them back from the iPod to the computer or is my library now only accessible on my iPod.

  • New FiOS GigE Wireless 'N' Router has slowed our wireless speed to a crawl...need help!

    This past Tuesday I installed the new N router.  Also, we upgraded to FiOS Quantum 75/35 (previously 15/5).  That was activated the following day.  I can't complain about the internet speed to our pc since it's wired.  Speed tests showed we were getting what was advertised. :-)
    For the wifi, I can't figured out for the life of me what's causing our devices (e.g., our Nexus 7 tablets) to have a link speeds of 65Mbps one minute and then drop down to 5 or even 1.  The same situation was happening with my HTC Incredible II phone, but I think that connection was tapping out at 54Mbps.  The bottom would just drop out of the signal for some reason.  Other times we couldn't even connect back in.  The devices would say they're not in range even when they were in front of the router.  Not sure if I fubarred the router install or what?  I just swapped out the current Fios router for this new one.  Pretty straightforward.  At first, I logged into the router software with the defaults, but then I changed the the username, pswd, SSID, etc. to match what I used previously.  I thought it was working fine the night of the install but not so much after Fios got bumped up in speed the following day.  Maybe just a co-inky-dink?
    I know you never get the same speeds compared to a wired pc but this seems worse (wifi-wise) than before the new router came along.  I've read that the 'N' routers can be finicky to set-up to run properly.  Maybe a setting or two is off?
    I don't know if the fact that my son's netbook's wifi card is only b/g compatible would slow our network down?  At this point I'm grasping at straws!  I talked with tech support last night for 40 mins to no avail.  I got the usual story about wireless devices running slower than wired ones, that these smaller devices aren't capable to maintaining higher speeds (which I'm not sure I agree with 100%), the more active devices you have slows down your network, etc, etc.  I get all that.  But something is going on or actually, it's not.  LOL!
    Why I don't agree with the above statement I mentioned is because I have my tablet at work now and the wifi speed is 54Mbps and it's constant.  So it seems to have no problems with this speed, unlike what I was told over the phone.
    Let me know if I can provide any further technical details that'll make it easier to help diagnose our wifi issues.
    Thanks for listening to me whine ,
    -bill

    Thanks for the help, Hubrisnxs.
    Here's an update since I got home:
    Nexus7 (N7) took a min or so to connect to wifi when I got home.  When it did, speed said 65Mbps.  So I ran speedtest.net and got 27/20.  Shortly after that I tried again but it was hesitating.  I checked the speed and it was down to 5Mbps.  Brought it upstairs to router and pc, and eventually it was back to 65.  Ran speed test a few more times with similar results.  I did notice that the connection would intermittently come and go.  Not sure why.  Looking at the wifi section  on my N7, it says our network is out of range and the N7 is 2' from the router.  Every now and then my network will go to the top of the list and it'll say it's obtaining ip address, then secured with wpa/wpa2 psk and it's locked in.  So I hit the connect button and it's out of range again.  Of course, while I was typing it decided to connect after 10-15 mins of trying/nothing.  Says, signal strength excellent, 52 Mbps.  Spoke too soon.  It's off again.  Crap!  Back on again but speed was 19, now 5.
    I did check router settings and this is what I have:
    Performance mode ('n')
    WPA2 AES
    Channel 1
    nonbroadcasting SSID
    Maybe I'll try channel 11 next.....
    Just for the heck of it, here is the results from verizon speed test on our pc (wired of course):

  • Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

    Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
    Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
    Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
    Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
    P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
    I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
    Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.

  • Pre Plus won't sync more than latest 3 months from Google Calendar. Need help.

    [previously posted in WebOS Software section, but I now think that might have been the wrong place; only one reply; no answers]
    I was a very happy owner of my new Pre Plus until I tried to sync my multi-year Google Calendar to my PP, when only the last three months of my GC data would sync to my PP.
    Some higher level Palm techs and I spent quite a lot of time on the phone, trouble shooting and testing. Ulltimately, we were unable to solve the problem. The last tech I spoke with acknowledged that currently there are performance problems with the PP if a lot of GC data is downloaded.  Apparently Palm has decided (for now) to prevent us new PP owners from choking our PP's performance by limiting our initial downloads to only the most recent three months of GC data. I was told that Palm is working on this problem and it probably would be fixed with the next update.
    I've searched the forum and didn't see any other mention of this problem.  Any one else experiencing this problem?
    *** My questions:  Can someone at Palm tell me (1) Is this is a problem that is being worked on by Palm/Verizon?  (2) If so, should be fixed soon? (I only have about 10 days left in my 30 day trial of the PP at Verizon. If I can't have all of my GC data on my phone I will have to turn it back in before the trial period ends.)  (3) Can you suggest some other trouble shooting I could try? (4) Can you suggest a workaround?
    (I can provide a somewhat comprehensive list of the trouble shooting already tried and my Service Request Number, if needed.)

    The time period for syncing calendar events is a setting.
    Go into Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to you get to Calendars.  Where it says Sync, you have an option to change how long you want to sync.
    The Default is Events 1 Month Back, but you can choose All Events.

  • Connecting to an oracle db from a servlet.  need help.

    Hello!
    I'm a noob in webprogramming but I am studing it for a month. So I have a trouble with jdbc.
    I write a web application in Sun Studio Creator 2 IDE. There is an Oracle 11g database on my computer. The application has ajax jsp, which
    sends asynchronous requests to a servlet. The servlet must open jdbc connection, process the request and send back the data. I got a
    driver from oracle.com(ojdbc.jar) and import it to my project. But at first I thought to write a simple console program to connect jdbc. It
    works good.
    Here it is:
    import java.net.*;

    import java.util.*;
    import oracle.jdbc.*;
    import oracle.sql.* ;
    import java.sql.* ;

    I don't know why. Can you help me? Thanks for any help. We have no forums qualified enough in our language. And this is my first

    Obviously you have the IBM java tools installed on your PC, and your classpath starts with IBM Connectors\...
    What you need to do is to edit your classpath environment variable in control panel->systems, and use quotation marks for any long directory/file names, or directory names with spaces in them. For example, change C:\IBM Connectors\classes to "C:\IBM Connectors\classes". Then it will work.

  • Moved to USA from Australia and I need help with my iTunes account.

    Okay so I moved to USA from Australia and I changed my address and all that for the account but when I open iTunes it say that my account isn't valid for use in the United States. So I look into it and it says I need to have no credit left over to change my account from Aus to USA.
    Okay so my question is how do I use 15 cents in the iTunes Store so I can change my iTunes so it works, does any one have any suggestions.

    You can contact iTunes Store support and ask them to remove it - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/  that is, agree to forfeit it and they can remove it.
    Or, buy something, and pay for the remainder of the balance with a credit card (if you still have one in Australia you can use?).

  • Over from PC...Need help configuringing my Mac Pro for FCP

    Just made the move a few weeks to Mac. Bought a Mac Pro ( and 2 Samsung T240 monitors) and am upgrading components for use with FCP. I have been editing for about 10 years (mostly volleyball highlight films and fishing videos) in Premiere Pro. I am currently using the Sony Vx-1000 but will be purchasing either the Sony EX-1 or HVR-Z7U to shoot and edit in HD while still doing some work in SD. I do maybe two or three 40 minute videos per year and some other shorter projects. I edit mainly for friends and family....not as a business. Here are the upgrades which I will be doing:
    1. Add 6 GB Ram to the already 2 GB's for a total of 8 1GB chips
    2. Install a Decklink HD Extreme card
    These is where I need advice:

    I am reading lots about external hard drives for editing. I am assuming that FCP would be on the operating system drive and the scratch disk(s) would be firewire (800) drive(s). I also read somewhere that Time Machine is not designed to back up video editing machines. I do not know if that is true with the smaller amount of work that I do. That would probably change how my storage is set up if Time Machine will not be backing up my files.
    Overall I am a recreational editor and but would like a system that is current for editing in High Defintion (and I guess Standard Definition at times.)
    Any advice would be much appreciated and I am really looking forward to the "Mac Experience"
    Thanks

    Thanks for that Nick and Jerry.
    I now think that the external hard drive posts that I was looking at were for machines that did not have the capability of adding internal hard drives.
    I actually have ordered a 1TB Samsung HD103UJ SATA2 32M (as per the Barefeats tests). Hoping that it would be a suitable internal dive.
    For the small amount of editing I do I am guessing that doing a raid would not be all that necessary.
    And Nick, I do not think that I was looking for a bootable drive for Time Machine, just something that has a copy of my video clips from my different projects in case I have some sort of hard drive incident. I understand how running Time Machine during editing would not be a good idea, but would it be ok to use it to back up my video files if I just ran it each night after editing. I am taking it that FCP has an auto save feature also for my projects backups.
    I had actually already ordered a Iomega Prestige 1 TB USB 2.0 3.5-Inch Hard Drive for the time machine drive. Should I be getting a firewire drive for that instead of USB?
    This is a brave new journey.....but I am really enjoying it.
    Thanks agian
