Is UNITE-CB1B @ 4G considered a high speed broadband connection? My Macbook does nothing well

Is UNITE-CB1B @4G considered a high speed broadband connection. I've tried three times to download Mavericks and no go. Is it my Macbook or my Wifi? If it's my Wifi, I guess I'm just screwed. Very down on Apple right now.

Make sure your MacBook Pro meets Mavericks requiremennts > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
Mavericks is a 5.35GB file and requries a high speed broadband connection and requires 8GB or more of available disk space.
Backup all important files before upgrading
Checked to see how much space is available ??
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
You can test your download speed here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Download speeds less than 10Mbps may time out before the 5.35GB file can download.
Keep in mind, after installing Mavericks, if at some point you need to restore OS X or repair the startup disk, that requires a broadband connection as noted here > OS X Recovery

I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

What is the best way to connect my ipad to the high-speed Internet connection in a hotel room

what is the best way to connect my ipad to the high speed inernet connection in a hotel room

every connection is a bit different. Generally, connect to the wifi, then you may need to open Safari, and may even need to try to get to one of your bookmarked pages to trigger the 'agree to our terms' page to come up.
As to it kicking you off every so often, there are sometimes glitches with the wifi on iPads, you can also be subject to any programming the hotel has. Like I've noticed various places that only allow you to log on for a period of time before having to relogin.
most hotels have 1-800 numbers, so you can always try calling that to see if their tech support has any tips for the frequent disconnection issue.

Wireless high speed internet connection

I would like to know if somewhere we can find a kind of PCS card for wireless high speed internet connection, but for power books and iBooks G4?
I'm living in mexico City and one company (iusacell) is offering the service but just with PCS cards for PCs, but no for macs.

Unfortunately, the 12" PowerBooks and both size iBooks lack the required PCMCIA slot for such cards, so they cannot be used at all.
The 15" and 17" PowerBooks do have a PCMCIA slot, but if your network doesn't supply Mac software or drivers, it probably can't be used.

Is Practical to use ODBC over high speed intenet connections?

I am developing an application using Oracle 10g as back- end and Visual Basic / Access as front-end. ODBC works fine in intranets for this purpose, but I wonder if it will work over high speed internet connections to manage several offices from the headquarters.
Any information on the subject will be appreciated.

Connecting and using database connections over a WAN can be very slow. There are usually several network conversations for even the simplest SQL statements. An application that is used to querying the database each time it needs data can be brought to its knees when the latency goes up, regardless of how much bandwidth is available.
As long as the latency is less than 20ms, you probably won't notice too much. Once it goes over 50ms, you start to curse these database companies that don't use real streaming. At 100ms or more you start thinking that Citrix is the best invention in the world.

Desktop loads, then unit freezes with fans on high speed

I've read through the other posts, but this problem seems different enough to this newbie that I started a new question. Thanks for any wisdom/help you can pass along.
The unit had been working normally (if a little slower) until this weekend when it started doing the following each time I attempted to start up:
1) All start up proceeds as normal
2) I log into my account
3) Shortly after my desktop loads, the cursor freezes and the fans begin running at high speed
4) I hold the power button and the unit shuts down
I've tried this three or four times since and the cycle repeats itself each time, never allowing me to get beyond the loading of my desktop.

The are a couple of things to try. First, make sure tha there is no dust clogging your vents. Second, reset the SMU:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Third, reset the PRAM.
If none of these works, try using Disk Utility:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then, when you are booted from your internal, Repair Permissions from your internal drive.

How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it. :-)
Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
Scott

Hey Scott
You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
HOWEVER:
A few things CAN be done:
IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
(SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
Good luck!

High Speed DSL connectivity issues.

Hi. I have connectivity issues with the High Speed DSL internet connection. I have had internet service with you guys for almost a year now, and since day one, I have had connectivity issues. In the past, the connection would drop once every few days, and about once every two weeks I would need to restart the modem in order to get my connection back.
I have restarted my router countless times, and even done a factory reset on the router a number of times as well.
The past two days, my internet connection has been worse than ever, with the connection being dropped about once every five minutes. And, while the connection was up, my browsing, video, and email loading times were very slow.
The internet light on the modem is constantly flashing, even when I am connected.
The gateway status info page refreshes 4-5 times a minute.
I dont know if any of the following info will help. I would like to continue with Verizon as my ISP, but if the connection issues continue, I will have to change services.
I have the Actiontec GT708WNV modem.
The gateway status info is:
Gateway ParameterStatus
Firmware Version:
GT784WN-VZ-1.1.6
Model Number:
GT784WNV
Serial Number:

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
As to where that is, it seems to be at
STATUS > WAN STATUS.

Options for high speed internet connection. . .anyone tried Directv?

Just relocated to a black hole of communications. . . Sprint telephone provider does not provide high speed service in my area. Town about 10 miles away has wireless access but not good for me. . . have new intel 20" Imac and now using apple external modem. . .good connection with aol but slow and would like to do better. I have Directv which is persistently touting their internet service. Anyone have experience with that? What are my other options, if any?

I have had DirecWay (soon to be HughesNet) for a year. I have the Pro account ($69/mo) with 1000/200 kb/s D/U and a 350MB download bucket which refills at 56 kb/s. That is about 350 MB per 16 hour period. It has been reliable. Heavy snow will stop like with DirecTV, but with dish low enough to sweep the snow off corrects this. Speeds vary, but is always better than dial-up. We had 18.8 kb/s on a very good day with dial-up.
However! The latency is high, 700-900ms. This delay is annoying, it takes a few seconds before your page come up. "Twitch" games don't play well. Other than that it is great.
I kept waiting for DSL or anything but it never came. My only regret is that I should have gotten it sooner.

High Speed broadband? Not from my WRT54G

Please help. I recently upgraded my broadband to the highest speed available in my area, downloading at 15 Mbps. With a direct line connected to my modem, I am achieving that speed. As soon as I go wireless through my WRT54G Version 6, my speed goes to 4 Mbps. I upgraded my firmware. I chatted with tech support and they had me change my MTU. Still nothing. Can someone please help? Andrew

After upgrade did you resetted the router?? If not then reset the router for few seconds ... after reset again reconfigure therotuer with different wireless network name .... change the channel from 6 to 11 ...click save settings ... Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ... Again check the download speed ... Hope it works...

Installing Sprint Broadband High Speed Internet Connection

I am getting 11bps internet connection with my dial-up server, AOL.
Sprint has sent me the materials that are, for a huge price of $69 a month, supposed to give me broadband speed which I simply must have in order to attend online art classes which I am beginning next week.
Does it make any difference if I insert the disk before the laptop is turned on, or if I insert it while the laptop is already turned on?
I am totally scared to death to do this. I'm afraid something will go awry and I will screw things up. Any one here who has been through this? And knows the possible pitfalls? And can guide me through it?
I've read the printed instructions through 3 times and they are NO help. They are not clear or informative, so that I feel sure and secure of what to do and what to do next. I am floundering....and the clock is ticking! Help!
Cyan

Hi Cyan,
No worries either way on the disk, but no benefit of having it in first... you must still be a little bit stuck in the Windows® universe!
There'll be an installer once you open the CD, but it won't boot your Mac like some PC stuff does.
In fact, I think you/we can set it up without their CD even.
Seriously, don't worry yourself on this, it'll be easier than the documentation, and if that weren't enough, if I or others can't help you, I'll put out a Bat Signal for the best AOL helper in the whole world... Ali B., and help is but a parsec away.

Advice on buying camera for stills and high speed video

Hello video pros,
I'm a music composer who occasionally dallies with some simple photographic and video work. I'm looking for some advice re picking up a camera to make some simple videos, but with the highest quality I can get with consumer grade gear.
I am pretty much ruling out consumer grade camcorders for two reasons: One is that I want to be able to shoot high quality stills and make stop motion videos from very high res stills. The other is that I don't need audio recording at all because the video will always be just to accompany music - simple music videos basically. So I'm much more interested in the recent mid range point-and-shoot bridge cameras with full HD video modes rather than camcorders - they seem to cover more realistically the range of things I want to do.
My main question is regarding shooting at higher frame rates than 30 fps. I'd like to shoot video at a minimum of 60 fps (or higher) to then playback at 25 fps to get that smooth, slightly dreamy motion effect. There are a few cameras out there that offer high speed video modes, but most are nothing more than a gimmick because the res is so low that the resulting video is unusable. However a few cameras now seem to hit a sweet spot, offering 60 fps recording at HD res, and also 120 fps at 640x480 which (at a pinch) is usable, at least for stuff destined for simple web use.
The cameras I've narrowed it down to so far seem to be the Nikon Coolpix P500, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 and possibly the Fujifilm HS20 EXR. I also was vaguely interested in the Casio Exilim HS cameras, but they seem to only offer high speed video modes that are pointless - 1000 fps at a completely useless low res, and 120 fps only at 640x480. The others I listed seem to offer at least 60 fps at some kind of HD res, so I'm assuming that with these cameras I could shoot decent looking video which would then play back with that slightly hyper real slow-mo effect when I import into FCP at 25 fps. Is this correct? Or is it the case that when they say HD video @ 60fps, it's some kind of interlaced mode which means you can't play back at a slower frame rate to get smooth slow motion?
The other thing I've noted is that all of these cameras do record HD video, but it's always compressed in H264 format. I understand that this puts a serious limitation on how much post-processing you can do to the video afterwards. Highly compressed video will begin to show image artefacts very quickly when you apply effects as opposed to higher quality (bigger file size) video compression. But I think I can live with that given that for the stuff I want to make, it will just be simply edited and only lightly graded. However, of the cameras I'm looking at, the Lumix also records in a format called AVCHD which (I think) does full HD at 17 Mbps. Does this mean that it's basic video quality is significantly better than the other choices? That said, from the specs it's unclear if it actually allows shooting at higher frame rates which you can slow down at playback.. the way it describes 60fps mode makes it sound like it's just interlacing so you don't actually get a higher number of images per second to then be able to play back at a lower frame rate. This for me might rule it out because I really want the creative effect of high speed video, even if it's only the subtle effect of 60 fps slowed down to 25.
So in summary, I'm looking for a camera capable of creative shooting (high quality stills to make stop motion videos, usable-quality HD video along with at least some degree of high speed video at a resolution that is still usable) to make interesting and artistic footage to accompany music. The destination medium is the web, so even though I'd like to get the best quality raw material to work with, the final destination is not exactly a cinema screen. As a pro in a related industry, I'm all too aware of the pointlessness of buying outlandishly over-specced gear that is far beyond your level of expertise. So I want to keep it simple and realistic, budget-wise, given the level I'm at. Nothing more than say $800 US. A seriously high end camera would be wasted on me, and I think it would be wiser to invest in useful accessories like a steadicam merlin and decent tripod rather than blow loads of cash on a camera far beyond my skill level.
Apologies for the long post, any and all advice would be very welcome and appreciated! And feel free to correct me if my assumptions are wrong, and suggest any gear that I should consider looking at.

Hi, thanks for your input. I'm aware of the fact that my question is a bit OT, but I'm just looking for input from people with more experience and broader information in this area than I have myself.. I know people are here to talk about FCP, but I'm betting many editors and film makers who work with FCP will have more insight in this area than I do.
I've been reading every review I can find at dpreview, and also am watching as many test video examples I can find on the internet, mostly on vimeo because the ones on youtube look pretty awful. I just am reaching out to get some actual experience and advice from people who might give me pointers on what to look out for.
As for 60fps not being fast enough, I know what you're saying. But for me, even 60 fps slowed down to 25 fps on playback is enough of an interesting effect, as long as the actual quality of the footage looks good to start off with. I like the subtle effect of slightly slower than real motion when it's real, bona-fide high frame rate slowed down. Artificially created slow-mo using plug ins looks cheesy to me, and the gimmicky super high frame rates of cameras like the casio exilim (where the resolution looks like a mobile phone video from ten years ago) are completely useless.
I've seen lots of examples on vimeo of stuff shot with DSLRs from Canon and Nikon at 60fps and then played back at 25 or 24, and it looks plenty nice enough for what I'm after. But am I kidding myself that I'd get anything near as nice with the price range I'm looking at?

High speed switch in Cisco Lay 2 or Lay3

Hi,

Regards!
Ak

Ummmm ... You gotta be more specific than this. It's like going to a car showroom and telling the salesperson "I want a vehicle.".
You want a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
Define "high speed"? 10/100/1000/10000 are considered as "high speed". Which one?
Budget?
You want all copper ports or fibre/SFP ports or a combination?
What are you trying to transfer? PC? Servers?
