SLOW download on Airport Extreme wifi. Wired is great. The download speeds are next to nothing above 25 feet away. When i stand next to the AEB it is fine. Anyone know why? Doubt ill get another AEB, very unreliable and has been for some time.
No cordless phone (two iPhones and two iPads though). It does have one or two walls on line of sight. A few wireless door security zones. And a large china cabinet that my wife sure wouldn't let me move. Do any of these sound significant enough to drop the dowload from 30Gb to .1GB...while upload stays consistent. I have had better signal strength through two walls 100 feet out from my house, havent tried recently though. I am suddenly aware as my switch is acting up and i had to use wifi on my xbox.

please help! i have just upgraded to an iphone 5 for work, so i have started to backup my iphone 4 but it is stuck on 'finishing sync' and has been for 20hours!what can i do?i need it for work tomorrow
Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
i disconnected my iphone 4 while it was updating and now its frozen, the screen is showing a apple logo and a loading bar which has been for 9hrs now. please help
It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process. -

My ipod touch stopped working. The screen is black with a small white circle/wheel with ridges/teeth in the middle of the screen. No matter what button is pressed and/or held nothing happenes. Can anyone assist me?
Try the remaining items of:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least and hour try again.
- If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

How do i retrieve my pictures?????
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Were these pictures from the camera roll or from photo stream.
When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device. -
Flash Player / Your installer is broken and has been for some time
Regarding the Flash Player Installer on Mac OSx: I've uninstalled the old version, and verified that it is uninstalled. I've updated all software on my computer and then installed the latest version of Shockwave. I've rebooted and shut down all other programs. Still, the installer is stuck at 25% download. Repeatedly. Based on searches, this has been a problem with your installer for about a year. It's beyond imagination that your dev team hasn't fixed this. A fix should have been out in a day.

Updated 5c to 8.1.3 but its stuck on the loading screen and has been for hours
I updated my iphone 5c to the 8.1.3 and its been stuck on the loading page for hours now. I've tried pressing buttons and unplugging it but it won't do anything.
"Pressing buttons" is vague, make sure you've tried a reset:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.
If that does not work you may need to restore the phone: see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -

When I opened Firefox and it automatically updated yesterday, all my search history from then back to the end of September was wiped clean from the "Show All History." I very much need that search history, which is essential for my research. I didn't bookmark it because I knew it would always be there. But it's not. Please help.
Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

Set system-wide Finder view preferences
