I can't take advantage of ISP's 10MB broadband

My ISP just upgraded from 1.5MB to 10MB downloads. All I can download is 2MB. I called for a repair man and his PC connected at 10.2MB. When I connected my PC that was in deep storage, it also connected at 10MB. What do I have to do so I can take advantage of the faster download? I'm connected from the cable modem by ethernet to my Mac. It's the same on both of my Macs. Thanks!
MacBook Pro and Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

indeed. it seems several people have reported that they are now getting the correct DL speeds from their ISP. it was odd that the update said it would address comcast issues, but it seems like a bigger problem than just with comcast. as long as it worked. go apple.
ps, of course, they release this less than a month after i stopped having comcast! go figure!

  • TS4006 Can I take advantage of this feature if I ALREADY lost my Mac? I did not activate the setting ahead of time.... because I hadn't planned on losing it yet.

    I recently lost my MacBookPro along with the rest of the contents of my backpack. Left it in the back of a taxi..... Thing is, I wasn't planning on doing that and so I hadn't activated the necessary setting on my computer to utilize FindMyMac.
    Is there any way I can still take advantage of this feature and find it?!?! Please help.
    Thanks

    You don't mention which feature.  I presume "Find My Mac".  No, those have to be set up before losing the hardware.  Contact the taxi company and the police.

  • How can I take advantage of the SPDIF out..?

    Hi all, as my subject says, can anyone recommend the best setup where i can take advantage of the spdif output in my imac?  I am setting up pro tools and/or logic 8 and want high fidelity sound i can with this great machine .
    Links with info would be great, I basically want to send the digital signal into to Yamaha self powered studio speakers.
    Is there a cable I can purchase by itself?
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    The cables can be found most anywhere.  For cables and adapters I always recommend searching www.monoprice.com first.  They have high quality cables for very good prices.  As an example search for TOSLINK at their site to find optical cables and related components.  It's where I got mine.

  • How many cores can FCP take advantage of?

    I'm currently on a Core 2 Duo processor and FCP seems to range in about the 150-170% (according to my activity monitor) when timeline rendering. Can it do more/go faster with a processor with more cores? Or, is there a limit to how many cores the software can actually use?
    Same question for Compressor... which, I believe I've read somewhere, can take advantage of at least 8 cores.

    Thanks, Red... I really appreciate your response.
    yeah, I think I'm clear on core vs. processor (I have one processor with two cores). I'm using a cluster to rope both of my cores into maxing out for Compressor.
    Both of my cores appear to be working during a FCP timeline render (going to about 150-175% combined). I guess my original question was, is that about as good as FCP gets, regardless of the amount of cores and/or processors? The thought that prompted me to ask this question is, if FCP is capable of utilizing more cores, why isn't it currently pegging at closer to 190%, like my 2-core cluster does when I'm using Compressor?
    Since I'm hearing that FCP isn't mult-processor capable, if I had a quad core, single processor would my timeline renders be going faster? Or, again, is FCP maxing out its capabilities with just my two cores?
    Thanks all.

  • Can iMovie take advantage of a 12 Core Mac?

    We are planning on purchasing some Mac Pros before they are discontinued later this year.
    We mainly use iMovie 06 but occasionally iMovie 11.
    I have read on other Apple forms that most software cannot take advantage of the extra cores. Does anyone know with any degree of certainty if iMovie 06 can take advantage of this additional processing power.
    We are trying to decide between 6 core or 12 core Mac Pros.

    I doubt it
    You are probably right.  Apparently there is NO WAY to know for sure.
    Thank you for sending the link.  I read the following, which I completely agree with.
    "iMovie HD 6 is still the preferred version for working with the DV over Firewire codec. Newer versions of iMovie lose resolution in rendering this older codec. It also makes the best looking Standard Definition DVD's."

  • Can FCE take advantage of 4 cores?

    I was wondering if Fce can take advantage of the 4 cores that the mac pro offers. If not, can it at least use 2? If so, can you use the remaining cores to do other tasks without affecting FCE? (Garageband, ect). Any advice would be appriciated. Would one reccomend using a mac pro for heavy FCE and livetpe rendering work as well as heavy idvd work (also, can idvd use multiple cores for proccessing data)?

    IMHO if your processing needs drive you to Final Cut on a Quad Core MacPro, you should be looking at Final Cut Studio, not Final Cut Express.
    That said, OSX including Tiger has always provided full symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support and also handles assignment & management of multithreaded tasks to the processors. In the majority of applications users do not have the option of assigning specific tasks to specific processors.
    You can look at Apple's performance comparisons for FCP and quite a few other apps on quad MacPros vs. quad G5's. But don't get carried away by the numbers, remember that these comparisons were done in laboratory conditions. For what it's worth, an advertised 30% or even 50% increase in processing power doesn't impress me, between those being optimized comparisons and the reality that all sorts of factors (memory, for one) can eliminate the advantages of more or faster processors.
    I'd suggest you look at it this way - a quad core machine gives you much more computing power than a dual or single core machine; and that aggregate computing power is available to all the applications you run on it.

  • How can I take advantage of the Retina screen while programming in JAVA?

    I've been writing desktop applications for years on LINUX and MSWindows.
    Now, my applications are not aware of my MacBook with Retina screen:
    all pictures and measures should be twice as small and sharp.
    Those are not.
    ;JOOP!
    P.S.: I installed JAVA 6 JDK from APPLE.

  • Can InDesign take advantage of quad core processors?

    I've been having trouble importing a large excel table in InDesign CS3 on windows 7,  and found that indesign was only using 1 of the 4 cores of my processor, maxing it out and crashing because of it.  So my question is, is there a way to make CS3 use all 4 cores, or failing this, does InDesign CS6 use quad cores?
    Thanks for any help on this.

    I installed InDesign CS6 trial, but this problem still persists.  I import the file (about a 14000 line excel table, with formatting (this is required for what I'm doing)), but it only uses 1 core of the processor. Only 25% of what it could be using to do this.  Photoshop cs3,4,5,6 use all quad cores and flys! 
    Anyone know how I can get this to work please?  I'll try anything that might help.
    ps I can't import without formating as I need some items to be styled so I can do a find and replace on them, to add indexing elements later.

  • I have a mid 2010 mac book pro.  Can I take advantage of the new Mavericks Apple TV feature and use my TV as a 2nd monitor?

    After updating the software on Macbook and AppleTV I do not have an airplay icon on the menu bar.  All products are on the same network.

    Doesn't work for your MBP.

  • Can I take advantage of 64 bit on my late 2008 Mac Book Pro?

    I'm running Lion 10.7.4
    My processor is a 2.8 ghz intel core duo.

    You are already running 64-bit programs. Lion is fully 64-bit.

  • Can PS CS 6 take advantage of a high RAM system

    Hi. I am thinking of investing in a workstation desktop built from oem components (since the components are quite cheap now). I have confgured a system on paper that has:
    Core i7.
    Dual NVIDIA video cards
    32 GB of DDR3
    Win 7 64 bit
    There is a lot of discussion on some computer building forums as to whether programs like CS 6 can take advantage of such large amounts of RAM. I myself have 8 GB of RAM on a Mac and notice that the kinds of images that I open cause CS6 to max out on whatever RAM it can take up (causing it to use swap space), causing operations like nudge and healing to take some time. Can CS6 take advantage of such vast amounts of memory and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?

    >> and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?
    2 cards, no, due to driver issues.
    SLI/multicard connections - no, those are intended for gaming acceleration only.
    A single card with multiple GPUs, yes.

  • How do I take advantage of high frame rates while editing video in iMovie '09?

    I have a GoPro Hero2 Hi-def video camera. It's capable of shooting up to 120 frames per second. How can I take advantage of that smooth slo-mo in iMovie '09?

    hi kyle,
    sorry, but just to elaborate on your response a little while ago here:
    - i captured the 24PA footage using the advanced pulldown
    - i captured the 24P footage using no pulldown
    - i am editing in a 29.97 timeline now, as most of my footage was shot with 24P
    please let me know your thoughts on how i should go about working with this footage!
    thanks!
