It seems like my ethernet transfer is slow

I have a macbook and a g5 2.3 hooked up via ethernet. everything works right but i remember being really impressed with the data transfer rate at first. Now not so much. it takes about 6 minutes to transfer 4.5GB. when i transfer the same 4.5GB to an external fw400 drive it takes half the time. what gives?

so if i manually set the speed i would choose 1000 and set duplex to full.
is that right?
i have it all worked out so that the g5 uses the internet connect from macbook and everything works so well i want to make sure i dont mess up anything by manually setting up ethernet.
thanks
there is no router in place. really? FW is faster than ethernet? i just remember the ethernet being absolutely blazing at onepoint!

  • Seems like my linksys e1200 router slowed down my iMac.

    is it the kind of router i have that doesn't talk to apples? someone mentioned that was a possibility, but i have no idea. i don't mean our wireless connection was slow, but the actual desktop computer. (sorry, i'm not very techy!, i'm not even sure i'm posting this question correctly).

    A router can slow down any computer if it is not securely connected to the internet, or if too many machines are using it.  A router can also slow down any computer if its firmware is not known to be compatible with the computer's installed operating system.  Check with Linksys to ensure that the later is not an issue.  Is this a wired or wireless router?

  • Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
    Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways

    Since one month a go, I've been having problems with Time Machine backup over Time Capsule.
    When I run Time Machine through Ethernet, there is no problem. Fast and clean. In the Console there is not any error message.
    I unplug ethernet cable, start airport, and in the next copy appears: "Bulk settings atributes failled", several times. Few backups after it will appear problems with a "file path" and few after will appear "deep traversal".
    I plug the Ethernet cable, disconnect airport and I forced to re-index the image bundle. Few backups correct with Ethernet. Unplug ethernet, connect airport, and again the same history.
    It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways.
    Permissions are corrected and there is no problems in any disc with First Aid.
    ¿Any idea?. Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same issue.  I have three layered elements as three columns in the body of the page.  When I add the farthest right element it pushes the other left elements to the bottom of the page.  There are aren't any other elements on the page.
    Is this a CSS issue?  I thought about exporting to Dreamweaver and fixing it there but would like to take the easy route first.

  • Seems like my 8330 is slowing down...

    Hello all,
    I just purchased my new 8330 from sprint.. I've only had the phone for a day now.. and it seems like its getting slow.. I do admit..
    I've downloaded everything my greedy little eyes have seen.. so are there any applications to download.. maybe likea defrag like you would for a computer? Also.. whats the maximum limit that you can download from the browser on these phones?

  • TS1373 I have a 1st generation Nano, and I have a sad iPod icon, and it seems like my battery won't charge either.  I guess it's too old.  Anyway if I buy a new iPod will I be able to transfer my songs and playlists to the new one easily?

    I have a older Nano, I think I got it in 2004 or 2005 and I have a sad iPod icon, and it seems like my battery won't charge, the low battery icon appears but never seems to do anything.  If I buy a new iPod will I be able to transfer my songs and playlists to the new one easily?  Thanks.

    If you are using automatic syncing to load the iPod, all songs on the iPod are in your iTunes music library.  So, you won't need to transfer anything from the old nano.  Just sync the new iPod from your iTunes library the same way.
    If you use the Manually manage music setting, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes music library, you will need to off-load songs to your computer first.  You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer" you should get some links.
    Also, if this is a 1st gen iPod nano, you can check this article to see if it applies to you

  • Tiger Updates Have Broken Airport Appleshare File Transfer, Horribly Slow

    Big horrible slowdowns in file transfer over wireless have me pulling my (remaining) hair out. I have seen several other posts and here are results of what I found. Hope you can add some suggestions.
    I had given my Apple Airport base station (b) to my brother in Pakistan after I found a Belkin (g) at Staples for free (after rebates) and have been using it for a while (maybe almost 2 years). Not a pretty box but the price is beautiful and it works OK.
    My real use for it is for my eMac and a couple of older PowerBooks I keep downstaors as a "music studio" for my music and podcast recording (and transferring upstairs to my server folder over wireless) and web browsing.
    All worked OK as I would transfer the files to my PowerBook upstairs (connected Ethernet to a router connected to the wireless router or sometimes directly via Airport connection if laptop was not at my desk). Both configurations worked fine (only limitation being my eMac's (b) speed older Airport speed).
    Since 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 (as that is the last "change" I can see made on my system overall, I have discpovered I cannot even transfer a 3.5 MB file from the 10.4.5 eMac to ANY of the other machines.
    After reading several threads here it seems several people have noticed the HORRIBLE SLOWDOWN if not complete death of Airport usability for file transfer. People are being made to go around changing router settings, channel IDs etc. That sounds like typical tech support bunk to me.
    After all, if the channel ID on the wireless router is a problem why is my web browing going on at normal speed but a 120 MB file transfer just told me it will take 2023642128 hours. No, I am not kidding. That is the time it would take to get man to Mars.
    Someone else was told to hook up the machines over Ethernet. Sure, that works for machines in the same room - and is a bearable temporary solution in that case - but not in an upstairs/downstairs situation. Burning CD-Rs to transfer 120 MB files every time is also not a good way to show off Apple technology.
    So, in my humble opinion, some recent update from Apple just broke something in Airport networking or Appleshare. So, I did some more testing.
    I love Apple, getting friends to switch all the time, but annoyed at these bugs that basically render standard applications unusable. So far I have not been able to figure out what the problem is. Here is some more info I got.
    I already deleted all the network port configurations on the 10.4.5 eMac except wireless. Activity Monitor shows 0.1 to 11 kbps speed (yes, that is 0.1 to 11 Kbps not Mbps). No other apps are running, Tried connecting to different machines. All machines can transfer data at high speed except over Airport/wireless.
    I then fired up a PowerBook G3 500 10.3.9. It is slow as a machine, but it has no problems picking and dropping files on to other machines over Airport (it is sitting in the same area as the emac so signal etc. issues would effect them equally).
    Next I came upstairs and changed my 10.4.5 PowerBook G4, previously working perfectly on Ethernet,to Airport only use. Lo and behold, it could not go to the Internet nor could it do any AppleShare transfers even with a PowerMac G4 which is Ethernet only.
    There could still be two culprits, the Apple 10.4.5 update OR maybe the wireless router went bad. So I tried all of the above after changing channels on the Belkin router. Still no luck.
    It could still be the router, so:
    - I changed the HP 17" 8080 laptop from Ethernet to wireless only and it flies.
    - I switched the PowerBook G4 BACK to Ethernet and it flies.
    - I kept the PC laptop on WIRELESS and did file transfers from it to the now ETHERNET using PowerBook G4 and it works fine even PowerBook to PC and PowerBook to PowerMac both using Ethernet and 10.4.5 works fine too.
    - I now tried to get or put files from the 10.4.5 ETHERNET PowerBook G4 to PowerBook G3 10.3.9 WIRELESS and it worked fine. i.e. no problems with older OS one using wireless.
    - Then I tried 10.4.5 PowerBook G4 Ethernet to eMac wireless 10.4.5 and it would not take or drop a file, unless I was willing to wait for 3 years and 2 months.
    In other words - the ONLY common thread is that 10.4.5 with wireless/Airport use will break Appleshare file transfers.
    Obviously some planetary confluence did not suddenly corrupt all the settings in all my computers at the same as many others, who also happen to be using 10.4.5 or maybe 10.4.4 because the 10.3.9 using OLD PowerBook with 512 MB RAM does wireless file transfers faster than the 10 times faster Macs using Apple's own cards and newest software.
    Seems like a now-becoming-usual Apple update that breaks things.
    Hope you can suggest a solution so I do not have to burn CDs on the eMac for every 1 MB file I need to transfer upstairs.

    Mac OS X 10.4.5 (#9): Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater; SIIG FireWire card not working; more
    Another fix for network slowness -- re-applying the combo updater Over the past few days we've outlined a number of fixes for network slowness that occurs after the update to Mac OS X 10.4.5, including entry of a DNS address, toggling of IPv6 and more.
    We've now received notes indicating that a tried and true workaround for various issues -- re-applying the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater (as noted in our general workarounds for 10.4.5) -- can have beneficial effects in this case as well.
    MacFixIt reader Fred Moore writes:
    "After much thrashing about and wasted time, I appear to have solved both the slow web page loading as well as my email sending problems in one stroke. Guess how: download the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater and reapply it. This nonsense has cost me a lot of time but everything seems to work now. IPv6 is set back to Automatic, there is no entry in the Network prefs DNS server field, and my email sending works perfectly (so far; I've sent a bunch of tests). Why didn't I just download the combo updater and apply from my hard drive at the beginning? Well, Software Update should (yes, I know, I know...) work. I'll never again use Software Update for a system update."

  • TS1963 Migration via Wifi + Ethernet is extremely slow

    Why the migration of information from my old PowerBook to the new one via Wifi + Ethernet is so slow?  60 hours!!!!
    The migration assistant didn't give me any other choice like FireWire. 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Wi-Fi and Ethernet are very slow, so I think it's normal that time if you have to transfer a lot of data.
    Migration Assistant can't transfer through FireWire because the MacBook Pro with Retina display hasn't got FireWire, and if your PowerBook has got FireWire, it's probably FireWire 400, making everything much more difficult. I recommend you to get an external drive and transfer your files manually

    If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

  • Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones.  Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software.  If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

  • It seems like nothing works

    I' ve bought a Vision M but the problem is I can't transfer any files to it! I can't transfer music, videos or pictures. I've tried WMP, Creative M Seies Media Explorer,sync manager and the usuall drag and drop. Once though I could transfer some videos and songs with the sync manager but when I tried later I couldn't. I can't drag files from the Vision M to the computer and when I try nothing happens and after that I can't browse the vision M anymore. It seems like I have the latest firewire because I couldn't uppgrade. It's hard to describe everything but I really need some help. Feel free to ask questions if that helps you help me.
    Help please, I would really appreciate it!

    Yeah I have used the media explorer to drag and drop. It's copying when I do that but nothing happens. I have tried with mp3 songs and videos I have converted in the media converter. I have also tried to transfer in Add media and in Convert Video but nothing happens, 0% or % and just standing still.
    When I try to do it in the Sync Manager it's the same thing, % and after that general error. It was just once it worked and I could transfer some songs and videos, and then after a while it didn't work.
    I can't do it in WMP either, it can't sync.

  • I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

    I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

    This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • How to print a selection of pages from a 3000   page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

    I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
    ----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
       Can someone please help solve this for me!

    Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
    It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.
