Internet / download very slow on windows 8

Guys,
I have recently installed windows 8 on my macbook. Now I am having a problem, because my internet is super slow. Is someone familiar with this problem? what is the cause and solution? Does this have anything to do with the drivers from bootcamp which are still not available. Thanks

The problem is likely that Apple has not yet released Win 8 drivers.

It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?

WebDav Very Slow on Windows 7 Pro

Environment:
Hosted SharePoint 2010
Two laptops on a Windows Domain: 1) Windows 7 Pro 32-bit & IE11 and 2) Windows 7 Pro 64-bit & IE11.
Problem:
WebDAV is VERY slow on Windows 7 only. When using WebDAV on Windows 8 or using the web portal (browser), file uploads are very fast. We've performed extensive testing as follows with no success.
Installed or confirmed SP1 was installed
Disabled "Automatic Detect Settings" within Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings.
Forced port 443 within URL upon mapping a drive (ex. <URL>:443)
Logged in using the local administrator's profile
Detached computer from domain and used the local administrator's profile

Hi Wleblanc,
“WebDAV is VERY slow on Windows 7 only. When using WebDAV on Windows 8 or using the web portal (browser), file uploads are very fast.”
Do you mean only the uploading operation in WebDAV of Windows 7 is slow or the whole WebDav performance is slow ?
Please check this service ”Webclient” from the service control .
I noticed that the process of creating a WebDAV connection is a little different in Windows 7 and Windows 8 .Someone indeed informed the information that this service will affect the WebDAV performance.
Here are links for reference:
Using Windows, how do I use WebDAV to upload files to my Oncourse Resources or Drop Box?(Pay attention to the creating process)

My Internet is very slow!

My internet is very slow, it takes a long time for webpages to load and things to download. Here are my speedtest results, if its helpful. http://www.speedtest.net/result/1029395537.png

You are right the newer pc, as long as it is hardwired and free of any spyware malware and not unusually high cpu usage, should perform better. Is it running high usage?

IOS 6 upgrade prevented Youtube from working and internet is very slow

Since I upgraded to ios6, the internet is very slow and youtube stopped working. Tried to download youtube app from google in itunes but it has not been working. Used to love my iphone 5 but now very disappointed. At this point I'm considering to return the phone. Tried using youtube in safari but nothing. Any help is appreciated.

If you JUST updated it, may be that Software Update is still downloading pending updates. Since Mountain Lion does that thru the App Store, so you can start that up and check in Update/Purchases/Check for Unfinished Downloads...
Or you can start up the Activity Monitor in Utilities, click on the Network tab and if you see a solid green line pegging the roof, means the kitty is downloading stuff for all it's worth.
Default setting is to automatically check for and download any available updates. Adjustable in System Preferences / Software Update.

After installing mountain lion i lost my pictures in iPhoto, lost my music in iTunes, internet became very slow. What can I do to fix this issues

after installing mountain lion I lost pictures in iphoto, lost my musisc in itunes, my icluod is not working, internet its very slow and some other issues. There is a way how to fix these issues

Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it.
Now for your music. Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Store tab.
Select: Music. (and Apps and Books) if you want.
Click OK.
iCloud syncs via your Wi-Fi network so give it a minute or two to reset your photos and music.
Slow internet ... try turning off the modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on.

Internet is very slow but says i have a good connection ?

My internet is very slow but yet i have a good connection please help

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Very slow scrolling window thumbnails clips

Very slow scrolling windows with thumbnail clips. The more files in the event, the worse it gets. It is very frustrating. Is in others it is the same? I have MacOookPro i7 early 2011, thunderbolt drives RAID0, 16GB memory, FCPX 10.0.7. After the hardware is decent.
Give some feedback, thank you.
P.S. I might add that this disadvantage are found from version 10.0.0.

You might want to look at either booting from your install dvd (insert, restart and hold 'C' down) and running disk repair from Utilities. Alternatively, and I always suggest any Mac user should have at least one, a 3rd party disk utility like DiskWarrior (there are others) is extremely useful.

but after configuration internet working very slow.if i want to open any website it is taking 5 min .i connected
my lease ling directly in this device.
please help me....
Thanks,
Madhukar

Hi Madhukar,
It seems that it is not a hyper-v issue .
For troubleshooting this please use your computer to access internet directly (without firewall ).
If it works well , you may go over the configuration of the firewall .
Also you can contact the hardware vendor .
