  • Internet really slow on my Mac

    Hello, thank you in advance for any help.
    My computer slows down to a really slow pace that i can't even check my email. I've checked my connection but it seems to be fine.
    My husbands internet works fine - which leads me to think it is the computer.
    I've tried rebooting the internet but it then just says it cannot connect.
    I do still have tiger - wold upgrading it really help it? I do plan on buying it but, I can't till November. (BOO!)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is your husband's internet on a separate account on the same computer, or a separate computer? If it is a separate computer, it is possible you have issues connecting to your router/airport base station/wireless access point.
    Do you have a separate box for your internet, and the connecting of multiple machines to the internet? That's the router, airport basetation, or wireless access point. The modem which either hooks into the phone line directly, or the cable line directly, or the satellite dish directly is often able to have a more reliable connection to the computer than the router. To test this, turn off the modem, and connect the computer directly to the modem. If the modem has a LAN and WAN ports, connect it to the same LAN port your husband's computer was hooked up to, and make sure your internet settings are the same as your husband's. If this does not sound like your setup:
    1. What is your internet service provider (who do you pay to have internet service)?
    2. What modems and/or routers do you have?
    3. Is it just one computer hooked up, or multiple?

  • 3G Internet Really Slow

    Hello,
    The 3G internet on my iPhone 5S is really slow and on occasion doesn't connect at all until I turn data off and then back on again (sometimes having to turn the phone off to get it to work) which is really annoying although the SIM card seems to work fine, any help would be appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Jordan

    Have you tried measuring the 3G speed? The free app speedtest.net is an accurate way to do it. Note that cellular data speeds are very sensitive to signal strength, and 3G itself isn't all that fast at its best. If it tests above 1Mb/sec that would be considered very good.
    Usually speed issues are more network related than phone related.

  • Ipad 2 internet really slow?

  • Internet really slow on my macbook

    I am using linksys WRT54G for my macbook and two imacs. The internet is so much slower on my macbook than on the imacs. I can't use the CD for setup because that is only for windows and i am using a mac. How is it possible that internet speed is so much slower on one computer and not on the other two, but im using the same router? Is there something wrong with the configuration on my macbook? Someone told me to type in the router on my web browser and change the setting to allow only G-access, but that didnt affect the speed. I dont know what to do

    Sounds like a corrupted cache file, see the OnyX routine here.

  • Internet really slow for four days now - cookies problem?

    For the last four days my internet has been as-slow as dial-up!! it was working fine before, fast connection, no problems.  For the last four days, especially in things like Ebay and Facebook it just sticks and shows a cookie with a red cross through it and a timer going round at the top left.  I have allowed all cookies etc and cleared my history but nothing sorts the problem.  Is this a problem that other people are experiencing? I live in Kent.  Many thanks.

    Right just spoken to someone at Sky who, after having me check my connection and tell me there is an issue, swap my microfilter for the spare one that came with the fibreoptic broadband last week, recheck my connection which was then slower! search for a flat head screwdriver, undo the screws on the master socket to be told i have an old master socket so not to worry, put the incredibly old screws back in....a task in itself, that in fact an engneer is needed!!! Maybe worth a call to Sky but have a flat headed screwdriver to hand!! Also they cannot arrange a sky engineer until tomorrow so are calling me back to arrange tomorrow afternoon. Hope this helps. To be fair the sky person i spoke to was very helpful i just found this a labourious task to find out something i already knew!

  • Internet Running really really slow

    My internet connection is working fine and when I am online it's slower then dial up and I have Cable. I ran the permissions repair and there was quite a list of things. All the programs are running quickly just connecting to the net is really slow and some websites time out. Any thoughts?

    I've read in another thread that if you delete the AirPort and Ethernet network service names in the Network window and then recreate them, the Leopard issues more than likely will go away. Apparently the Service names (and underlying settings) created while using Tiger are not compatible with Leopard once you upgrade to Leopard.
    Go to Apple menu/ System Preferences/ Network and the service names to delete are in the left column.
    Good luck.

  • 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!!!

    Care to share which OS you are using? 
    How large is you HD and how much space do you have left? 
    Check w/your ISP.  Make sure the problem is not on their end.

     Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
    Do a Safe Boot.
    Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
    Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
     I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

  • Elements 13 works really slow in editing.Can someone help. I have OSX Yosemite 10

    elements 13 works really slow in editing.Can someone help. I have OSX Yosemite 10

    First of all, did you have PSE installed before updating to 10.10? If so, you need to do this:
    A Reminder for Mac Folks upgrading to Yosemite | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
    Also, be sure you have updated to 10.10.1. And if you have a large number of recently imported images in the organizer, PSE will be slow till organizer is through creating thumbnails for the photos.

  • Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

    Hello,
    Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
    To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
    There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
    Best of luck.

  • Really slow internet uploads and images not showing

    I have tried "Disk Repair" and also did a "Reset Safari". Internet pages are REALLY slow to load and all images on websites are little blue boxes with a "?" in it. My internet connection is spotless, all this started right after I dowloaded OS X Mavericks. Please help!

    For images. With Safari open, if you see Develop in the menu bar top of your screen between Bookmarks and Window click Develop. If Disable Images is checked, click there one time to uncheck.
    You can also  empty the cache from the Develop menu. Develop > Empty Caches
    Then quit and relaunch Safari to test to see if images load and that pages load faster.

  • REALLY Slow Internet Loading--Is there a way to make it faster?

    I bought a new Macbook 3 weeks ago at the Apple store. I am a long-time pc user who took the Apple plunge mostly because I am sick of getting viruses all the time. Unfortunately, I am pretty disappointed with the speed of the Internet and REALLY slow loading of websites--especially business websites (cnn.com, WAMU, Citibank, WSJ, etc.) It's not my wireless internet connection because I did a side-by-side test. I sat on my couch with my 4 year old Dell pc and the new Macbook and went to the same websites at exactly the same time. My old Dell was always faster loading each website and in some business-related or video-related sites, about 35-55 seconds faster. Is there anyway to make the apple load websites faster or is slow internet just the price I have to pay to be virus-free? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

    Well here are some things for you.
    the macbook has a 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi module. If you have a N wifi router, it may have the ability to process at the 5 GHz range. Un fortunately most receivers are operating in the 2.4 GHz range.
    My recommendation is to lock your access point to either 2.4 if it is a draft N spec or G only if a B/G AP.
    If you are using security to lock down your access point and are using WPA or WPA2, set the encryption to AES only.
    If you have a draft N AP also set the channel width to 20/40
    If you have draft N ad set it to 2.4 you will only get 130 Mb speeds on the Macbook. that is the limitation of not using 5 GHz
    Check the forums of your AP manufacturer for known issues and make sure your firmware is up to date.
    There is nothing inherent with Macs that make the internet slower. They use the same technology as everyone else. The issue is with how you have your AP set and how the adapter in the MB is setup.
    I am going to go out on a limb and assume you do not understand the differences in the settings, frequencies, etc of wireless so it might do you good to learn a bit about it first so you better understand how to get the most out of your equipment. I hope what I have posted gets you started int he right direction

  • My internet is really slow

    Hello, Since yesterday my Internet connection has been really slow.
