Icloud and satellite internet

Icloud uses up bandwidth in upload causing satellite company to reduce speed. 5gb limit is easy to reach with Photostream turned on and a Iphone 4S

Turn off the backup and Photo Stream functions then.

Clean Access and satellite internet

We have NAC 4.1.6 enabled for our IPSec VPN client users, and have at least one user coming in from a HughesNet satellite Internet connection. When he connects via HughesNet, the VPN connection works fine but the NAC agent will not run and check his machine. However, when he uses any other type of Internet connection (including a Verizon aircard), NAC works properly.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a fix or workaround? He's running the 4.1.6 Windows agent. Thanks.

Try connecting the console directly to the router which is connected to the internet and check if it works. If it works then you will only have to change the MTU size on the ASA. Another option will be to have the console connect directly to the internet bypassing the CCA.

ITunes and Satellite Internet daily limit don't mix!! Help....

I have satellite internet which has a daily download cap. I can download unlimited mbps from 2AM to 7AM. ITunes music/videos use up a lot of mbps when I buy music. I am looking for a program that I can use that will manage the itunes music downloads during 2am-7am only so that I can still buy music, but don't have to go over my limit. Does anyone know of such a program?? Or any other ideas I could try that would help me to stay within my limits?

Set your iTunes to not "automatically download" your purchases. Then you can engage the downloads during a time that costs less.
Ultimately, it may not be as straight forward, but if you do engage a download, and it's poor timing, you can pause it and resume when ready. This might be annoying if you purchase several items and EACH has to be paused, but it will accomplish what you wish.
Another alternative is this:
Use playlists and "Gift" yourself.
I have done this in the past to accomplish a single-click-buy for multiple random items I want to get in one step.
1) Create a playlist from iTunes store items: Just drag items to a created playlist.
2) GIFT the playlist to yourself.
3) Redeem the playlist of items when downloading is cheap.
I hope something here helps.

IChatAV3 and Satellite Internet

Since I live in the swamps and Bellsouth only has dialup, I have subscribe to WildBlue Satellite Internet. My downlink is 1Mbps and uplink is 200Kbps. The downlink works pretty good but my problem is with the uplink. Various testing indicators say I am really doing about 168 Kbps uplink. And that is about what I really should expect.
The problem is, iChat sees the uplink as less than 50Kbps and therefore you know what that means. I have been through the FAQs and tried to ensure the speeds, ports, firewalls, setups, etc. I have my streaming speed set to my downlink of 1Mbps. The WildBlue technicians tell me that satellite delays is what the problem could be. And also that it is an iChat software problem.
Help!!

Hi LA Sculler,
This is normally down to the latency of the modem.
They are often set so that the data rate is slower when the use is low and it speeds up as you put through or request more data.
iChat requires that the speed is there from the moment you start up iChat as it takes a reading from the Quicktime setting.
It is often difficult if not impossible to fool the modem (such as listening a sample of a iTunes store file) to get the modem to tell iChat that the connection speed is fast enough.

EA3500 and Satellite Internet

I used the CD to set up my new EA3500 with my Wild Blue Satellite internet modem.
An IPhone or IPad can connect and work like a charm, remaining rock solid at all times. Windows 7 on the other hand, will work and then lose connection to the internet. The PC appears to remain connected to the EA3500, but the connection between the EA3500 and modem appear to be lost. I can click on the bar Icon at the bottom and it shows everything to be fine. I click on disconnect and then wait a few seconds and click on connect again and it works for a few minutes before having to do it again.
When I look at the router properties the CD set it up for DHCP.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Larry

Thanks very much for the response.
Yes I am trying to use the laptop wireless and if I can get it to work reliably, will set up another laptop on the wireless. I will take your suggested router settings and see what I can do with them. I have cables to the laptop locations that I have not even tried to connect to the EA3500. Worst case, I may try that if I can't get the wireless to work.
To be clear, when the laptop loses connection in the network diagram it shows the connection broken between the router and modem, while it shows the connection from router to laptop to still be solid.
BTW, I must be using the classic firmware because I have not changed anything.
Thanks again.
Larry

TS3899 I can't read the body of my email messages in iCloud and thru Internet. Only see to and subject line fields

I'm unable to read the body message of my emails. I've tried reading thru iCloud and also through the web browser of yahoo. It was working right yesterday. Today, I only see the to and subject line fields when I click on it to read.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

VPN and Satellite Internet

Is this possible? I have a vpn connection currently w/ broadband internet. Moving to rural area. Can only get satellite internet. Is there one satellite internet service that is compatible with a vpn connection?

You'd have to check with each specific provider to see what they recommend.
One option is to use SSL vpn instead of ipsec.

Airport + Netgear + satellite internet problems

I have just bought a netgear router and satellite internet service. I took my G5 Quad to the Apple store and had an Airport card installed.
The router is connected to the satellite modem. The card is in in the computer. I followed the instructions that came with the router, but they seem heavily weighted toward PC. For Mac, they say I must do a "manual install." The instructions also seem to assume that my computer is connected by wire to the router, but the whole point of the router is to connect wirelessly to the satellite's modem, which is in a different room from the computer.
The mac Airport Set-up Assistant quickly reaches a dead end when it finds out I am not using AirBase. The Network section of System Preferences wants to know what network I'm joining. I have only one computer at present and am not therefore setting up a network, unless computer + router = network.
I have spent the past two days searching Apple Discussions, the NetGear website, and the Hughesnet website and am now completely turned around and lost. I feel like I'm either missing a crucial piece of the puzzle or that this process requires a much higher level of expertise than I would have expected for such a common task.
If anyone can offer any suggestions on what to do next, I would be very grateful.
G5 Quad 2.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) dial-up internet connection

You will need to connect the Netgear router to ur G5 using a cable for the initial setup.
First, set your G5 ethernet to use DHCP for IP address.
2rd, Power up the netgear router. (doesnt matter if you disconnect the WAN at this point)
3nd, Connect your G5 to one of the netgear LAN port.
4th, At this point, the IP address for your G5 ethenet should be something like 192.168.1.X.
5th, Open Safari and go to http://192.168.1.1
6th, Enter user name and password. (user name should be admin and password should be "password") *I think
7th, Once you are in the router configuration page, you should be able to change all the setting on the router to work with your interenet and wirless setup
8th, Copy down the wireless setting on a piece of paper (SSID and WPA key)
9th Once you've done setting up the router, save the setting and power down the router
10th Connect the router to your satellite modem
11th Add a new network under Airport using the inforation you've copy on step 8.
12th Enjoy the wireless internet.
Hope this help.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

I installed iCloud onto the PC and followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

Your new router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact Frontier to correct the router's setup. A firmware update may be required.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

I've lost my iPod and I'm trying to find it on the Find iPhone app, my router says its connected to my iPod but iCloud says 'No Internet'. What should I do?

I've lost my iPod and I'm trying to find it on the Find iPhone app, my router says its connected to my iPod but iCloud says 'No Internet'. What should I do? I've tried searching for it everywhere but I can't see it.

You can't track it if:
1. It' not turned on and connected to internet
2. It's wiped

TS4020 "cannot get mail" The connection to the server failed. My mail account from Icloud will work if I only disconnect my wifi in my iphone and use internet plan from carrier. Anybody else with this proble??

My mail account from icloud will work if I only disconnect my wifi in my iphone and only use internet plan from my carrier. Anybody else with this problem??

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.
