Internet too slow and erratic to update software

I have had an iMac G5 at home for about one year. The problem is my internet connection (DSL) is too slow and erratic to download files bigger than 10 mb. Can I get software updates on a CD? Or is there another way to get those downloaded files? Zipped, maybe?

Hi & a warm welcome to the forums!
Quite often getting them direct is far better than SU, this works on my Dialup asccount most times...

  • Trackpad is working very well but my usb mouse acts too slow and erratically?

    I tried all the usb plugs and different types of mouses but it acts erratically and slow specially when i use couple softwares at the same time. Trackpad works perfectly even though i use couple softwares. Can someone help pls?

    Your mouse must be the Mighty mouse and in that case the likely problem is the scroll wheel.  This tends to get clogged up with all manner of detritus picked up from a desk.  Here is a link showing how to approach cleaning it.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • HT1338 I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?

    I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?

    Thanks for your response. I was told, obviously misinformed, that you needed to dl Lion prior to Mountain Lion, so thanks for clarifying that. I cannot dl from the internet as it is too slow and I have limited GB per month. I know, at one point, you could purchase a jumpdrive with Lion for those of us who have this problem or no internet access. I will check into that via Apple or try to borrow internet service from a friend and move my computer there.
    Thanks again.

  • Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy

    Mac Os 10.7.4 too slow and buggy,
    its random sometimes fine but mostly slow buggy, maybe the mac os needs a scan buit in to show whats responsible for slow speed.
    like will it result answer conflict with 2 apps running or the mac os its self that sort of inbuilt mac os app is due for us users to enjoy and know
    whats the real problem. like a light in the dark we need more tools in the mac os like whats running now in back ground  and foreground and what
    resources performance/strain is incurred. also is slow due to back ground anti virus work load strain on cpu and ram we need a mac app in built that
    informs us who why and what, how and where then recommend the solution. like quit that app or upgrade ram so on.
    or the app conflicts with safari example thus slow performance.
    anyone else agree? anyone else know a mac app that will do ther above?
    Mac Os 10.7.4 need bug fixes in next update of mac os 10.7.5 do we agree?

    Hello, Ian.  You will find the information requested above in the Mac Utility called "Activity Monitor"  There, you can find what processes you have actively running, how much of your CPU they are taking, and how much RAM they are using.  You can also check to see whether your RAM is sufficient by selecting "system memory" in the Activity Monitor.  If you are getting lots of "page outs," this means that you are using your hard drive for "virtual" memory and should consider adding RAM.
    With regard to antivirus work load strain, I cannot comment on that--I use only the Mac OS and do not have antivirus installed.  However, if you search in Discussions you can find recommendations.
    I hope this helps.  Take care.

  • I am using iphone 4s ios6.1.2 ...my iphone has become too slow once i have updated from ios 5.1.1..can anyone help me to make my iphone perform batter

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

    You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
    Good luck.

    String ssupplierAddress;
    I created 2 ArrayList Buyer and Supplier and put them to the ComBox. One Buyer has many Supplier when you select any Buyer....
    If you select Supplier then the sub info of this Supplier will be displayed in below. As this action, I have selected many many Supplier for see sub info (Address, Employee...) many time.
    When the action submit to Server then I see the Buyer info also change when display because Company Name and Company Address are the Spanish language.
    Origin info:
    Name : ABC Espa�a S.A.
    Address: Carretera de LHospitalet, n� 11, Nave 1, 08940 Cornell� de Llobregat (Barcelona)

    We have 2 string very long in results when I select many many time and browser too slow and hang if the are to long. That problem only happen with the Spanish language, in other languages are not, It works good.
    Please help me to solve these above problems, I have tried to add code in JSP page
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset =ISO-8859-1"> or <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset =UTF-8">
    But it also hang the browser.
    Thanks a lot,
    Vu Nguyen

    Well... Are you sure that the problem is within the browser? If both browser hang, then check if your OS supports the language the right way. Also, your browsers my have plugins/addons for supporting other languages. Try to look for them or/and post your systems-names here to help others helping you =).

  • Lion was just installed by Genius bar and I am updating software.  I downloaded software from Apple to update my Brother MFC-J6710DW printer.  It won't install...have tried 3 times.

    Lion was just installed by Genius bar and I am updating software.  Also did 10.7.4 update.  The driver for my Brother MFC-J6710DW  will not install.  Have downloaded it three times.  When I try to print I get the message that there is new software to install from Software Update.  Grrrr.  Have also tried a reinstall from  the driver on a disk that came with the printer.  Any insights?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • I recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode.  Please help

    i recently got my battery replaced in the 3GS and tried to update software and restore but phone is now stuck in recover mode.  Please help

    If it wasn't Apple who replaced the battery, then you've voided your warranty.   Bring it back to whomever replaced the battery and tell them they probably broke your phone.

  • Appeaers a message that battery is too slow and the phone turns off

    When the battery is yellow since today appears a massage saying that the battery is too slow and the cellphone turns off! Whats going on? Before, it could have the battery in red buy never turned off :s i need help please. Ah! The emails are taking hours to arrive! I have the 9300 and im too upset!

    This tends to indicate some rogue app running in the background or an email stuck in the outbox constantly trying to send.
    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    Check the outbox for all email accounts configured on the device to ensure no messages are "stuck".
