It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

HT5953 How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

Hi, I had the same problem you described, and I noticed that there are two ways of activating text to speech on iBook for Mac, with different speed results (at least on my MacBook Pro Retina display)
On your iBook you can select the text and and then click on > More> Start speaking, and you will get a certain speed, which tends to be too slow.
But you will get the speed you had selected with "Go to System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech. In there is a slider to adjust the speaking rate." if you use the TOP MENU (next to the black apple) under Edit>Speech>Start Speaking. I also learned that under System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech, there is an option for a shortcut which is very helpful. And you can change Key. Hope this was helpful.

How can I speed up Firfiox download speed since it is very slow compared to Internet Explorer or Opera.

I first noticed that I was having trouble viewing videos on Firefox, but was able to correct that problem by doing something with Flash, if I recall correctly. Now I can view videos, but they are slow and choppy. When I check download speed using Firefox, it is 391 kbps (upload speed is 362 kbps). However, when I check download speed using Opera, it is 3161 kbps (upload speed is 367 kbps). Also, when I watch videos on Opera, of course, they are not choppy. I really want to continue using Firefox as my web browser. How can I make get the download speed back to normal?

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have? 
Make sure that it isn't restricting Firefox in any way (we've sen Norton NIS software mentioned to cause issues like this).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I speed up the extract() function queries on XML

Hi,
Please I need some light on xml and indexes.
This is my case:
I use Oracle 9i R2.
I have a table with some rows containing some few xml documents (each row contains a big xml document).
Given a value for an attribute of a tag, I want to extract the entire section within the tags.
Example:
<MYTAG number="1">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
<MYTAG number="x">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
So for number=2 I would like to extract from the document the xmltype
<MYTAG number="2">
.....big stuff here
</MYTAG>
I created an index and have followed all the steps from the XML Database Developers Kit manual. Then I would use extrac() as the document says.
Now some doubts arised:
Are these text/xml indexes only useful for getting the rowid of my document?
I mean, if I select 'x' from the table looking for some value, then the index is used. But when I use extract in the select to get the section I look for, the query gets really low, specially when xml documents are big. I think when I have only row with one document, getting the rowid is not the problem, but the extraction from the document is.
Is the extraction process faster because of the index?
For what I see, the index only helps me to find the rowid, but then Oracle has to deal with the very big document inside the row. At that point Its oracle against a big text processing and index has nothing to do.
How can I speed up the extraction of the section?
If there any other index or tool for help extraction to be faster?
I would appreciate to know what can I do. I need help on this.
Thanks in advance!

Well,
- What indexes, if any, already exist?
- What do the functions rl and nice do?
- What are the current query plans?
- How restrictive are the various predicates?
- What version of Oracle?

How can I speed up the load time?

Typically, your budget is around 50k for the first page,
total including
all external files. When you add up all the external files
you have used,
like images, Flash, external JavaScript, etc., you have 98
separate HTTP
requests in that page. Just looking at the headers, you have
about 80k in
requests and responses, not even counting the actual files.
Browsers are limited to just a few simultaneous streams, so
most of your
files wind up having to wait until the prior files download.
Included among your 98 requests, you have these six files
that each
individually exceed that total budget:
headerLinked.swf 2,621,578 bytes
2007_fishing_video_web.flv 95,989,898 bytes
2008_aoy_graphic.png 65,582 bytes
jensen_beach.png 59,105 bytes
liquid_fire_logo_new.png 142,277 bytes
DanSchaad.png 379,111 bytes
Your entire total is 99,816,652 bytes. I've put a complete
breakdown here:
http://testing.apptools.com/newsgroup/liquidfire.php
Files are requested from the server in the order they are
encountered in
the source code. They are displayed in the linked page in the
order in
which they are requested. You can see that some of the huge
files are
requested fairly early in the sequence. That means that those
files and
their extended download times are occupying streams and
preventing other
files from being downloaded more quickly.
My suggestion would be to really trim down the content on the
page. Break
it up into several pages. Dump the huge Flash movie at the
top of the
page. Optimize the four .png's above.

How can I speed up the connection to the database?

I am running a JSP application with regular JavaBeans not EJB and connecting to the database through these beans. The connection is set to stay in memory as long as the bean is in session. However when I am running more than 7 sql statements seperatly the execution of the page slows down.
I have tried using connection pooling but doesn't help much.
I am not using the JDBC setting in JRUN, I am connecting through the jdbc.odbc drivers provided by the JDK. Basically coded the connection and the connection pool.
Is there something else that can be done to speed up the execution of the page?
Thanks in advance

Thank you all for your input I was trying to work this project to learn JSP so I am not looking at purchasing any drivers right now. That is the reason why I stuck to the JDBC-ODBC Bridge. Are there any other drivers available for MS SQL Servers that are free.
Jschell,
That suggests you are taxing the system. It could be >connections. It could also be network, cpu, bus, etc. It >could also be memory, if your app starts swapping to >the hard drive it will get substantially slower.How can i figure out which of the above (i.e. memory, cpu, connections, network) are causing the problem.
(Presumably you explicitly close your >ResultSets/Statements/Connections when you are >done with them.)You are right about that yes I am closing them at the end of the session, which I think should be after all of the SQL's get executed but I could be wrong it might be openeing a new connection for each SQL which inturn might be the reason for this whole problem. I will take a look into that.
Thank you all once again.

I keep getting urgent msgs to download 3.6. I have done so, but the download doesn[t seem to finish completely. How can I make sure the download has occurred? h s

I have dowloaded both 3.6 and 4.1 exe, however, I still get the urgent mesg from firefox. My download file shows that the downloads took place, but I guess they never were completely installed. How can I check to make sure the downloads are installed? Will the urgent messages stop when the downloads are truly installed?'

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version (doesn't apply to Firefox 3.0.x).
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a (re)install.

TS2756 When trying to update ITunes on my pc using my Iphone 4 personal hot spot via usb connection the download interups and will not install.

When trying to update ITunes on my pc using Iphone 4 verizon personal hotspot via usb connection the download fails.

I called this problem into Apple and they solved it for me. The problem is in the downloader associated with iTunes. Skip that step and go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes softwere update (Version 11.1) directly. I did this and installed it successfully. After restarting the computer iTunes recognized my phone and all was well. Then I updated and installed the ios7 update without any problems. No charge. Full cudo's to Apple!

Is it possible to set up network locations in such a way that other preferences also get set? Specifically, I usually have my Software Updates set to download in the background, but when I am using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot I'd like to disable this.

Or indeed is some other way possible, such as using an Applescript to detect when I am using my personal hotspot on my (limited data package!) 3g iPhone (via wi-fi or USB etc) and then switch off the automatic downloads until I revert back to my regular connection?

But I'd turn off automatic Updates anyway, & just check once a week or once a month to see what's available.
