Internet going really slow

I just got my new white MB two days ago and i have noticed that when connected to a wireless network, surfing and downloading is really slow. i should be downloading at around 30-40k but the fastest i have gotten it is 20k and most of the time its in the 5k range. i am thinking about calling apple support. anyone know whats going on?

i dont know if this will help at all but i just ran a speed test and these are the results:
Download: 58 k/sec
Upload: 28 k/sec
also i pinged google.com and got this, i know my connection wont be full 700k speeds but it really shouldnt be this bad:

PS and LR going really slow

Hi There, I have just started using ps and lr today after downloading it. It is going really slow and taking a long to do one thing.
I us a Mac and I keep getting the spinning rainbow ball. I also had an error come up saying 3D features require a minimum of 512mb of vRAM. PS has detected less than that on your system. Updating the diver of your graphics card may resolve the issue. ...
Then it sends me a link to adobe..
What does this mean? Is this causing the slowness? I don't think I am using anything to do with 3D..
Thank you

Time Machine going REALLY slow!

I got my first apple product 3 years ago, and over the years have gotten more attached and I have kept up to date with everything. I decided I needed to backup my new 17" MacBook Pro (sucessing my old White MacBook). So I brought a 1TB Time Capsule, to use for my wireless network AND to backup. So, 4 days ago I set it up and began the Time Machine process before setting up my wireless network. I have 93.54 GB worth of data on my computer, I was up to 64.98 GB a few hours ago, when my MacBook decided to freeze. I was hoping that it would resume the backup when I restarted. But, no hope. I also noticed that my Time Capsule was an amber-orange color and was blinking. I went into Time Machine, it said it was not set up. I did everything. Anyway, I solved that. Now to the problem 3 hours ago I started (again) the backup process. And it is going REALLY slow, its 4.07 GB out of 93.54 GB. Is there any possible way to speed the backup up? thanks!

Are you using 802.11n or 802.11g connection?
If 802.11n, are you using 5GHz ONLY frequences, or are you using the 2.4GHz frequences? 5GHz will give you much (MUCH) faster transfer speeds.
Time Capsule -> Wireless -> Radio Mode -> 802.11n only (5GHz)
Is your Time Capsule -> Wireless -> Wireless Options -> Multicast Rate -> 24Mbps
and Transmit Power 100%
But as has been suggested, connect via Ethernet using Gigabit capable cables and you should be able to your initial backup much faster.
Also NOTE: If your initial backup was interrupted such that the Time Machine Sparse Bundle needed to be repaired, a lot of initial time when you restarted your backup could have been spend while fsck was being run against the volume.

Hi my name is Timothy and I have had my iPod Touch 4th Generation 32 GB for about 8 months and when I got it, it was fast but now i updated it to 6.1.6 and it goes really slow i have only used 6.8 GB of space on it and there is 21.7 GB left on it.

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
The try
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Internet goes so slow now..

I updated my Iphone today and now the Internet goes so slow. Bah, this *****.

This may or may not help: where is the Airport positioned in relation to the iMac? If your iMac is Aluminum, you have to remember that a wireless signal cannot penetrate metal, so there is only one place on the iMac where it can: the Apple logo in the back. Before we try other troubleshooting methods, try turning the iMac a little (or move the Airport) to see if that would help. It could of course also be a defective built-in airport card (had that on a white iMac).

My internet's really slow and it's only two months old.

My internet was pretty fast, and now it's really slow, i don't know if it's because of my wifi or what. But i had downloaded lots of tv show videos and I am thinking that it's happened because of that. But i think if i do delete the videos for good, my internet would still stay the same. So i think it wont make a difference if i do delete it, should i or not? and what should i do about my internet??
It's only two months old!!!

Hello, Since yesterday my Internet connection has been really slow. I have changed the channel and checked my phone line and nothing seems to be wrong except some websites don't load or load really slow its should be much faster.

Based on your attenuation figure there is nothing you can do to increase your speed(unless you can upgrade to Fibre) as your just to far from the exchange your attenuation figure puts your distance at roughly 3.8km(cable wise).
It is possible that a line fault or equipment fault is causing a false figure.

No, if it's disabled it's too late, you will need to reset it back to factory defaults : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support.

IMac connects to network but internet connection really slow.

HI all
I have a Belkin F5D9630-4 router and have WPA security on it. The mac can connect to the network but when i try and surf the web the connection is really slow and most of the time just times out.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be great.

Hi macman3000!
Try using WPA2-Personal instead of WAP. You must access your router through it's main web page in order to make this changes. Make sure you change your security parameters in your Mac also to WPA2-Personal.
I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 and after a long way making it able to connect wireless to my iMac, I had to change the security parameter to WPA2-Personal because of the same problem you have.

Internet is really slow over a home Wi-Fi router using Firefox; speeds up dramataically if using Internet Explorer. WHy?

For months I have been battling with slow internet connection speeds with my Wi-Fi router at home. I have changed everything and tested every alternative configuration. I have even changed the router. In the end I have worked out it is not the router, or the OS, or the windows user account that are the problem. It is using Mozilla Firefox. I really want to carry on using Firefox but I cannot. Using Fiirefox I might get a connection speed of about 500Kbs; using IE I get the full 10 Mbs that my ISP (cable) gives. It is not consistent: the problem comes and goes. But when the problem is there, it can be fixed by stopping using Firefox and using IE instead. Why could this be?

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Wireless conection is perfect but internet is really slow

Hello!
In 2014 November I got this computer in Florida. I got it as a present for my son. He was not with me that time in America. I opened the computer everything was working pretty good. But I did not checked the wifi and internet. When I came back to my hometown, I live in Georgia,Tbilisi, my son told me that wifi connection is perfect but the speed is very low. Even sometimes the network is not appearing. I do not know what to do. I can not return this computer because I live in Georgia. Can you help me with it? Because I tried to reinstall all drivers and also I refreshed my windows. Nothing helps.
Thanks! Victor!

What kinda wifi are you connecting to? If they have slow speed there your not going to speed up internet unless whom your getting wifi from upgrades their network speed. Also since you bought it in Florida the warranty is void unless it sent back to US for repairs or service. And if you didn't buy International Warranty there isn't much support you can get for the laptop.

ITunes goes really slow in my Sony Vaio VGNAR41S

Hi folks!
Coverflow really goes slow, and music sometimes stop when I typing in other apps like word , that's surprising because my computer suppose to be the high laptop of Sony in Europe, specially designed for multimedia applications (Core 2 Duo, BluRay, HD-Ready, etc).
It's like if Itunes don't use DirectX.
My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium and I haven't problems synchronizing with my Ipod, using Media Center, Windows Media Player etc...
Also, Quicktime doesn't play videos but no matter because I don't use it.
I love iTunes, I think that is the best application for manage your music, podcasts, etc... so i'm very worried about this.
Anyone knows could be the problem?
TIA

I have same problem with my Inspiron 5150, Pentium 4.
iTunes ***** up most of my system memory. I was uploading one of my CD's and could do nothing else because the CPU was at 100%. This only started happening within the last month or two (note ; recent update) and I even tried reinstalling my OS thinking that would help. First thing I put back on was itunes- problem came right back.
P.S> What is "iTunes helper.exe" and "iPodservice.exe"?
