Import speed all over the place

Hi there, first time poster here.
I'm trying to import some Christmas CDs into iTunes. I've not used it for several months for a variety of reasons. When I import the CD, the speed is all over the place but typically at a ridiculous 0.1x!! It's ranged from 12.0x on down. It took many hours just to copy one CD (10 songs - average length).
I don't have a huge library of music. I have plenty of room on my laptop (Asus with Vista) and I've never had this problem with iTunes before on the same computer. If anything, the computer is running better now as I ran disk clean up, defrag, and dumped a bunch of stuff off it (nothing software related).
Thoughts?

Just to add my IP profile since getting infinity 2 has always been 77MB down 20MB up.
PLEASE HELP

Speeds all over the place

My speeds are all over the place tonight. Tried a HH3 restart and speedtests and downloads are varying from 3mb/s to 7mb/s. Same servers were full speed for me yesterday.

why did you change to the hh5 if the hh4 and modem were working ok? I would go back to the modem and either use the newer HH5 or revert back to the hh4. see if that brings back your stable connection and if so your speed should improve

BT Infinity 2 Speed All Over the Place

Hello,
Last Friday my family upgraded to BT Infinity 2. According to the BT engineer, the speed will be up and down for about a week, and eventually we should be getting at least 55mb download and 20mb up. The upload speed is fine, get around 20mb so I'm fine with that.
But what I was wondering is if what the BT engineer said was actually true or not. When the guy tested the connection through the ethernet port, he was only getting around 15-20mb, and the max we managed to get out of it was 30mb. I have been testing the internet speed frequently using the speedtest.net website and occasionally the download speed will jump up to speeds between 30-45mb and then go back down to 15mb-20mb, and it usaully stays at that speed for the rest of the day. Is this normal behaviour after a new installation? And should it all be settled down within a few days?
It is quite clear my connection is able to pump out more than 45mb download, and the cabinet is on the pavement literally just outside my house.
Here are a couple of screenshots of my speed results:
If anyone could help with this it would be great, thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, are you running wired or wireless? If wireless, that could explain the difference. Run wired for tests if at all possible. Despite advertising claims, HomeHub is an adequate but not good wireless router.
It would help if you could post your profile.
Either http://speedtester.bt.com/ and choose the ‘ADSL and Fibre diagnostics’ option
or Tom’s BRAS checker http://windows.mouselike.org/be/?DoAction=BrasChecker
If the profile is uniformly high, it is probably something with the HomeHub or something else at your end. If the profile is jumping up and down, it may be DLM doing its initial settling in.

Speed all over the place on infinity 2

I have been on infinity 2 now for 4 weeks after being a BT customer for 10 yrs. I was promised 58.1MB download and this is the first time I have used a Hub 3. I mainly use one device my acer laptop, that is new with wireless N that works perfectly well on my friends internet. When I use my laptop, I am usually a couple of meters away from my hub.
I have selected the best channel on my home hub 3 using InsSSIDer and placed my modem and hub in the best place possible away from interference. I have tried wired and wireless, resets and factory resets to my hub 3 (one reset to my modem) but the same pattern seems to happen.
In the morning I connect about 60MB and by about 4pm my speed drops and fluctuates from around 50MB to 20MB occasionally as low as 5/10MB. Upload is fairly consistent at 14MB
I regularly check the speed on bt wholesale, thinkbroadband and Speedtest.net and this shows the fluctuation.
This is really getting frustrating now as I predominantly use my internet after 4pm. Can anybody help with this as I don't want to contact the painful helpdesk.

Why does iDVD store stuff "all over the place"? Project now broken

Hi all,
did an hour long family movie project, and in the meantime cleaned up my documents folder and deleted some stuff that I thought was internet downloads etc, or extra working files.
Turns out it was the important audio stuff for iDVD!
I've broken my project... the stuff was obviously important, and now when I open this project it has a big broken chain on it.
Why does iDVD store important stuff "all over the place" like that? I mean, it's confusing enough (for newbies) to learn where the events and where the projects are stored, but why does it strip off the sound and store them in documents where ANYTHING could get deleted?

Just to add, an iDVD project should be thought of as a shell, an empty container. It has references to the media files used in it, but does not actually contain these files. The files remain in their normal locations. When you burn to disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD pulls these files just for encoding onto a DVD disk or into a disk image file. It does not really move these files into its project files. Your iMovies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete any of these files, iDVD will not be able to locate them, and you will see the broken link images.
For this and several other reasons, it is a good idea to leave everything alone and not go deleting any files until you have finished your iDVD project.
Then, when you are ready to burn it to DVD disk, be sure to do a 'Save as disk image' to create a disk image file of the project. This process looks like the burn process, and the encoding will take just as long, but the end result is a self-contained disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
The advantage of the disk image file is that you will have an exact copy of your iDVD project with all the media files encoded into it. You now can safely delete all the media used in this iDVD project without losing the project. Now you can clean up your documents folder! Deleting all the files used in the project will also save you drive space.
You can save disk image files as backups and can move them to external drives or other computers. You can burn DVD disks from disk image files using Disk Utility or Toast. You don't have to worry about your burned DVD disk breaking/melting or having something spilled on it (kids in the house!). You can always get the disk image file and burn another copy. (Great for the relatives who somehow 'lose' the great DVD you made for them!).
You cannot edit the disk image files however, so you should be creating one only when your project is completely finished.
If you wish to save all your iDVD files while you are working on a project, you can archive your iDVD project. I have not found the need to do this, but the link J Keller gave you for the tutorial explains how to save as archive and as disk image. Obviously, the archive project will be larger since it is saving all the media. Archived projects can also be moved to other drives or computers.
Hope you can recreate your project.
Note to J Keller: the video tutorial was quick and gave the brief how-to and why. Nothing complicated.

HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

My Photos Are All Over The Place Can I Move Them?

Hi...
After numerous Exports and Imports... My images are all over the place on my Hard Drives. Is there a way I centralize them and have Lr4 move them into a central place so I don't need to hunt them down all the time?
Thanks in advance!!!

Yes you can do that within Lightroom. I recommend you look at Julianne Kosts Lightroom videos on AdobeTV regarding cataloging - they are free.

Broadband Noise All Over The Place

Cannot seem to get this resolved after many chats with BT support.
My noise profile used to be about 6dB with FAST path After the bad weather about 8 weeks ago, my noise profile went up to about 20dB and nw INTR.
Ever since it's been all over the place.
Contacted support many times - they say they will look at it and nothing happens. Keep connected, run speedtester etc.
Had a chat with support today, who performed a rest with BT wholsale - got a fantastic connection of about 7mb. All started getting wobbly and has climbed all day back up to about 14db.

                        G.dmt framing
Thi is very frustrating - was getting a reasonably stable 4mb at 6db. Now connection keeps resetting all the time and hitting by speed.

Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

Video Dimensions all Over the Place

Hello there,
First off you'll have to excuse me as I'm pretty new to the whole video side of things. Well the problem is, I've created a DVD which is supposed to go to a client fairly soon - and the problem is while viewing it the screen size is jumping all over the place. I have video elements provided by clients which i imported as timelines, i have menu's with static backgrounds and i have timeline menu transitions which are dynamically linked from after effects.
The only part of the dvd that appears full screen (16x9) is the dynamically linked transitions. They are 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen and are set to 16x9 in encore (greyed out).
The video stuff from the client is 720x405 Square Pixels set to 4x3 in encore (greyed out). This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
The menu stuff is 720x480 D1/DV NTSC Widescreen set to 4x3 in encore. This appears letter boxed and pillar boxed.
After reading what i've wrote in my last few sentences, i can now see the problem is because nothing is the same! So the question is more now what i do to correct it. Do i resize the client video and the menu images to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen? And if i do this will it crop the video or will it squeeze the video etc. on a 4x3 screen?
Thanks for the help,
Steven.

Ok, now I've resized all menu's and assets to 720x576 D1/DV PAL Widescreen (set to 16x9 in encore). On a 16x9 screen everything is looking very sexy indeed, but on a 4x3 screen it is letterbox. I tested this with a regular DVD which adjusts to fill the 4x3 screen.
Any quick way of achieving this?
It may be possible, but not with Encore - a menu is either full 4:3 or full 16:9, but not both. Similarly, 16:9 video from Encore will play back letterboxed on a 4:3 screen.
An additional note: not all commercial DVDs behave in the way you describe - sometimes menus are either 4:3 or 16:9, but not both, and nearly always 16:9 video is displayed letterboxed on a 4:3 monitor.

My cursor is moving all over the place like someone else is controlling it, it has gone thru my mail and deleted everything. Sometimes it works ok, what should I look at?

My cursor is moving all over the place and it is almost acting like someone else is controlling the track pad. When I was opening and deleting mail this morning and I stopped on an email I wanted to read it went ahead and deleted it and all the others that hadn't been opened yet.What should I look at to fix this problem, I already tookk it to a computer repair that couldn't find a virus of any sort. And, it sometimes works fine.

Have you tried adjusting the tracking and scrolling speeds for the trackpad? You can find that in Sys Preferences.
You may also want to reset the PRAM. To do this shutdown the machine. Hold down with your left hand the option and command keys, power the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold down the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger, so you have the option+command keys and the P and R keys held down, wait until you hear the Apple chime twice then release all keys, let the machine boot up. Try this and see if it helps. If you contiune to have this issue I would suggest taking it to the Apple store ASAP and have a Genius remedy this issue. Hope this may help.

Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

Hi,
For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
thanks for any suggestions
matt

The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

Why is my page or connection jumping all over the place after my recent update to firefox 5.0

I came back from a week away and when I got on the internet firefox had updated to 5.0 and ever since then my pages just jump all over the place Why?

Hi Aish,
I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!
Marc.
