    hi, my mac book pro, spotlight indexing process not compleate last 1 week. what should i do.. my machine speed are very poor. pls help

    System Preference/Spotlight/Privacy
    drag your disk into the list, excluding it temproraily from the indexing procedure.
    Restart your mac, and open the Privacy page again, click the disk and the minus button to re-incorporate it into the procedure and restart the indexing.
    Or just try your luck in Disk Utility/First Aid/Repair Disk Permission first.
    See if these help

  • Internet speed is very slow

    Even the macbook is connected to wifi, the internet speed is very slow, even disconnected, if it isn't problem with my house modem, is it related with macbook problem?

  • Windows 7 internet speed is very slow.

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.4 and I recently installed Windows 7 by using my install disc and through Boot Camp. I have installed the lastest drivers for Windows through the Boot Camp. Everything was fine except the internet speed on the Windows. It took a long time to load webpages and all my messages on Skype were pending which probably points to the slow internet I am getting from my wireless device. On the other hand, the speed of my internet was fairly fast with a download speed of 500 - 700kb/s on the Mac OSX. My download speed is about 30-50 kb/s on Windows. Is there a problem with my Windows drivers or maybe my wireless just doesn't like Windows?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    What level of speed and bandwidth does your ISP say you should get?
    I would look at the modem, the age of the router, etc.
    Are you on DSL? does not sound like cable.
    Run a test, see what this shows and look at the ping in milliseconds.
    http://speedtest.net/
    It use to be, and I think is still true actually, that Windows has had faster I/O but it depends on your equipment and whether it is 'current' or not. Make and brand. Even if there are firmware updates or supported any longer.
    Can you test with a wired connection? you have a tower, therefore it has two ethernet ports on the back, not a laptop. Distance and interference.
    Get your ISP - see if they have forum, phone support is often a joke but forums can really provide help, whether your equipment is rented or not.

  • Brand new iMac, and the load time for internet use is very poor

    Brought my new iMac home today. 2.7 GHz intel core i5
    Got it set up with my wireless and i am very unimpressed with the internet and loading speed. My phone, 1 lap top, and 1 ipad use wireless in our house along with the iMac. i have a cisco linksys E2500 is that sufficient enough all of my usage? No gaming more than what a todler would play on. Basic internet use and editing pictures.
    My question i guess is, is it my router or are iMac's just not that fast?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Non existence internet speed. Very unhappy as Virg...

    Having moved over to BT internet in Sept I am very unhappy at the level of speed. some days it wont even go online ( I never had this problem with Virgin) I am sick of having to get up at 6am just to look at the internet knowing that it wont work later this is not what I signed up for , you say in the help section do the speed checker ? I have tried but the internet is so slow it gives up half way through !! Forget trying to go online after 7.30pm as it can take 1hr to load up the yahoo email page ?? yet I can get it on my mobile in 2 mins ................................... maybe you can add some suggestions if it isnt fast enough for your speed checker?

    Hello ,
    Can you please post your ADSL stats by following this direct link; http://192.168.1.254/ going to A-Z (top right hand of the page) then to ADSL Status and post the stats including Noise Margin, Line Attenuation, Connection Speed, Errors etc..
    Also we need a speedtest just to have a look and make sure everything's okay? Use this link http://bit.ly/o8qqQ9 as it will also help you diagnose and give you a list of solutions afterwards to help you diagnose your problems if it thinks there is a problem. Could you please also copy and paste the results from the White/Black/Green pop out page including your IP profile, DSL Connection Rate and speed achieved during test.
    Run a line test to determine if or not it is an external problem: http://bit.ly/tgwip
    Can you also confirm if you're connected at the master socket or an extension? And what your type your master socket is according to this picture
    Lastly for now, call 17070 and Press Option 2 for the Quiet Line test and where possible use a corded phone as DECT handsets can pick up electrical interference?

  • Internet speed too slow in hotspot mode on iPad after upgrade to iOS8

    Problem:
    After upgrade from iOS7 to iOS8 my 3G internet speed shows very poor performance in Hotspot mode.
    Before upgrade (on iOS7):
    3G
    without hotspot -- 4 MB/s
    in hotspot mode shared over WiFi -- 4 MB/s
    After upgrade (to iOS8):
    3G
    without hotspot -- 4 MB/s
    in hotspot mode shared over WiFi, Bluetooth and USB -- speed drops to stable 20-30 KB/s regardless of attached device or network quality
    I contacted my 3G operator, they report to have made no changes, and have no clue and suggest me to contact 'equipment manufacturer'.
    I have tried different kind of settings, resetting/experimenting with APN/username/pass. The only thing I haven't done so far is I didn't erase/clean reinstall my iPad. But I will do it soon.
    Could you please suggest:
    a) has anyone else faced such a problem?
    b) has anyone have an idea how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

    Update:
    A solution was to leave the 'Hotspot APN' blank and fill out the 'login' field instead with <any> symbols.

  • Does Airport Express decrease internet speed?

    Right now I use wireless DSL in the home & the speed is very poor - 1.5 Mbps is the fastest available in my area. I have purchased an AE for airtunes and also want to extend the range in my house. Will using AE reduce my wireless internet speed when I connect to it? This would make a big difference to 1.5 mpbs.
    Thanks,
    J

    Thanks for the info.
    You will be able to configure your AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network created by the 2-wire for airtunes.
    Unfortunately, the Express will only "extend" a wireless network that has been created by another Apple base station, so it is not compatible for this use with the 2-wire.

  • Time Capsule only runs with 1,1Mbit up/down during data transfer, internet speed is ok, TC is used to extend an existing network

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a new 2TB Time Capsule running with a MacBook Air. I want to use the TC to access data (Aperture library, iTunes library, other Files) and to backup my MacBook Air via Time Machine. I set it up, integrated the TC in my Network (FritzBox) by choosing "extend existing network" and it works. BUT only with 1.1Mbit/second while writing or reading Data to/from it. Internet speed is very good, like it was before. While the 1.1Mbit/second seem to be ok with Aperture and iTunes (streaming music and movies) it is still painfully slow and I'm not realy happy with that
    I've read that:
    The 1.1Mbit problem is pretty common when Time Capsule is integrated and used to extend a network (bridge modus), it also looses all ethernet connectivity then (that woul explain why connecting it by ethernet didn't help during initial setup and data transfer)
    Is there a solution besides ditching the Fritzbox and using the TC to build the network? Because basicly I still need the Fritzbox for its DECT features.
    Thank you for any help in advance and have a nice day,
    Olli

    You have double hop wireless with this setup..
    You should bridge the TC.. that is router bridge not wireless bridge, and plug the TC into the Frizyboy by ethernet.
    Then you can setup the TC wireless to reinforce the fritzy..
    Same wireless name as SSID.
    Same security settings... really should be WPA2 AES or in TC personal.
    Same password..
    Just different wireless channel.
    Then you can use 5ghz on the TC if you are up close and personal.

  • Slow Internet Speed C50-30

    I recently purchased a Lenovo C50-30 Desktop and my internet speed is very slow. I have my old computer next to it and it runs just fine on the internet (Using wireless connection). Any ideas on how to increase the internet speed for the Lenovo? Thanks

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
    Are you connected to Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi? If so, disconnect the Ethernet cable or adapter and test.
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Internet speed and computer viruses

    My internet speed is very slow. I am wishing to check the broadband speed. I connect to a BT Hub directly via an ethernet cable. I notice the slow speed most when downloading itunes videos and programmes.
    What software is available to check this speed for me. I am also concerned I may have picked up a bug somewhere.

    www.speedtest.net is a good place to start to check the speed you're getting.
    What makes you think you've picked up a 'bug' - there are, as yet, no viruses affecting OS X.

  • Poor internet speed getting slower

    The area i live in has a very poor internet speed however in the last couple of months it has got significantly slower, where web pages arent evening loading and streaming is getting near impossible
    BT call centre suggested leaving it an hour, then a day then a few days and they would 'fix' something. No change ever happens after these calls and leaving the internet unused for days at a time is getting unacceptable

  • Poor Internet speed, TC 535kbps but through WAG300N 6654kbps

    Ok so I took the plunge and purchased a new TC 1TB yesterday and after going through the Airport Utility setup process everything seems to be working apart from the very poor internet speed when connecting via the TC > WAG300N.
    Linksys WAG300N Download-6654kbps / Upload-355kbps
    Apple Time Capsule Download-535kbps / Upload-348kbps
    _*TC details*_
    Status: Normal (Green)
    Version: 7.5.1
    _*Internet Connection*_
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default) +*I have tried all the options with this setting*+
    Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address +*I have also tried the "Off (Bridge Mode) setting*+
    TCP/IP
    IP Address: I have set manual
    Router address: Points to my WAG300N
    DNS Server(s): This is set to my WAG300N +*I have tried the DNS addresses from my ISP which still result in the 535kbps Download speed*+
    I have tried different Cat cables and different ethernet slots from the TC WAN to the WAG300N, I have also connected my MacBook with an ethernet cable directly to the TC. The hardwired connection still gave me the same speed test results.
    I hope I have listed all the information that someone might need to help me out. If you need any further details just shout and I will post them.
    One last thing, could this be a faulty Time Capsule?

    Good News
    I borrowed my father-in-law's old 3COM modem/router to test out my feeling that the ethernet ports on my WAG300N were not playing ball.
    I'm now a very happy bunny! setting the 3COM in Bridge Mode and using PPPoE on the Time Capsule I have my MacBook and iPhone the wife's XP laptop and BlackBerry all running through the Time Capsule
    My speeds are now as they should be:

  • VERY slow Internet speeds

    During about the past week my internet speeds have been VERY slow, sometimes loading a 1 minute youtube video has taken upto 5 minutes, and i also have been disconnecting off the internet very frequently. We have had bt internet for about 3 years and this has never happened before. We have a BT home hub and all our computers connect to the internet wirelessly. I have spoken to a friend and he said he had the same problem this week, he said he phoned up and got sent a new hub. I am not sure if this is the problem but all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.  I live in dundee (Scotland) if its any help.

    Geoff,
    I think Angus has either a Home Hub 1.0 or 1.5 as the front screen when you access the router settings page show "My Broadband Connection" and lists the speed and all the other pieces of information on this screen. Would I be right Angus?
    In terms of the slow speed issue you are facing. Please can you post the information on the Home hub screen under "My Broadband Connection" so we can see the results.
    Also, the general troubleshooting steps for slow speed would involved moving the Home Hub, if not already there, to the Master/Test socket.
    Pleas see the following link for information on how to do this:
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13892/c/346,4740,4740
    You may also want to run a speed test, as Geoff suggested ecm200 did, via http://speedtester.bt.com, as the results from this test can be used by technical support to raise a fault.
    I know that some people think that because they have been connected to the same socket for a certain period of time, and the connection/speed has never changed, that the socket must be Ok, but if this socket is an extension socket, the internal wiring may have degraded over time and this is the cause of the poor speed. This is why technical support always ask to go to the Master/Test socket, to prove that the fault is on the BT Network.
    I reckon, at worst, you will get an engineer to visit, who will either fix the fault, or recommend that the Hub is replaced. However, the troubleshooting steps will have to be completed before you get to this stage.

  • HT1338 my computer it's very slow when surfing the internet?

    my computer it's very slow when surfing the internet

    Hello again
    As suggested I checked all CPU data in the Activity Monitor folder and could not see anything running that appeared to be draining CPU space or competing with other applications.  The following are the results from the Activity Monitor data:
    CPU:  %User - 0.37, %System - 0.62, %Idle - 99.12
    System Memory:  Free - 4.90GB, Wired - 1.15GB, Active - 1.48GB, Inactive - 468.1MB, Used - 3.09GB
    I also ran a test on my Mac using www.sppedtest.net, the results are as follows:
    Ping Speed - 1575ms, Download Speed - 0.15Mbps, Upload Speed - 0.04Mbps
    I am hoping this provides enough information to direct me on what next to check as my Mac internet performance is still poor.
    Thank you for your time
