ITouch Sync Speed to Vista Laptop

If I just connect my Itouch to my laptop and add new tunes via Itunes then the sync speed is very slow. However, if I also connect my old Ipod 30Gb video at the same time to any other USB port the Itouch sync speed increases dramatically! Much faster - almost as quick as the old Ipod. Is this an Itunes issue? It's a bit weird as the old Ipod syncs correctly on it's own. The Itouch has the latest - 3.0 - firmware.
Regards Graham

This ABSOLUTELY solved my problem... everyone having hang up problems check this out! It worked perfect. Thanks for the help man... Hope itunes have this fixed soon.

IPhone will not sync when Windows Vista laptop is offline

Hi there. My iPhone 3GS syncs OK when my Laptop has a wireless connection to the internet but if it is offline, itunes will not recognise my iPhone. It shows up in 'My Computer' as a Mobile device. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes and quickTime and I have all the latest software.
When I make sure the driver is correctly linked (by following the guidance and going to C:\program file\common files\apple\mobile device support\drivers it says that the driver software is up to date but says it is for a digital still camera. Please can you help me with this as I am unable to alter my iphone content when I am away (and out of a wireless network).
Thanks, John

Bluetooth Sync with Microsoft Vista Bluetooth Laptop

I am able to pair my BB Pearl with my Vista laptop but it does not sync because Windows says I need an updated driver for the Pearl. I do not see anywhere on the BB site where I can get a new piece of software for the Pearl so that I can bluetooth sync it with my laptop using BB Desktop Manager software.
Any help?
Thanks, Scott

Go to Setup Bluetooth -> Options -> look at the items listed under Service. Can you see something like Desktop Connectivity. If yes only then you will be able to sync your device wirelessly with your desktop.
If you do not find that option then BES users contact your respective BES admin...BIS users contact with your carrier.

New FIOS router, VIsta Laptop Cannot Access Internet

I too have the new FIOS router with 75/35 speed. I have just been trying to install the router and have been successful in getting wifi connected on two devices (Win 7 laptop and Kindle), but I cannot get my Vista laptop to access the internet. It shows the wifi being connected but no internet connection.
Does this have something to do with the Vista OS?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyone at Verizon who is paying attention would realize this problems is many years old with no solution. People are literally begging for help in dozens of online forums, to no avail (Google search usually provides me results faster than any tech support). I have the exact same issue. All my wireless devices connect to the internet through the Verizon MI424WR router with no problem. My Vista laptop connects just fine via Ethernet cable, but not the wireless. I can make a wireless connection to the router, and the router admin page shows it is, in fact, connected, but absolutely NO connection to internet is possible.
BTW, the laptop had no problem for years connecting to the internet via a Linksys WRT54G connected to Verizon DSL.
All that the troubleshooting "guide" provides is the usual basic "plug in, turn off, turn on, reset" nonsense that might help only those who can't stop their VCR clock from blinking.
So please, Verizon, bump this up to a FAQ (because it is VERY frequently asked), and help us find a solution.

Limited access message on Vista laptop

I have a linksys wireless g 2.4 router. I recently setup WEP security on this router.
When our Vista laptop connects to our network, it shows a "Limited Access" message below the SSID name. What does the limited access message mean?
Also, we noticed that around 8pm-11pm every night, our wireless speed slows down drastically. Every website we go to takes a few minutes to display. This happens on all of our PCs connecting wirelessly. Any ideas what to look for on my router that may cause this?
Thanks,
Jerry

Whats the Model number of your Router ?
If you are getting "Limited Access" on your Vista computer, these indicates that your computer is not connected to the Internet and its having only Limited access. So in these case you can change the security Mode on your Router to WPA Personal and then try to connect to your wireless network.
If you are facing intermittent connection problem on your wireless computer, then i think you need to change some settings on your router. Follow the settings bellow.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on 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"...
Now on your vista computer... Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network and Sharing Center >>>Under tak you need to click on "Manage Wireless Network" and Remove all the Preferred Networks from the List and close the window.
Now try to re-connect to your wireless network using the WPA security key.

F4480 Vista Laptop to XP Server

I have a Vista laptop. I installed an F4480 to the XP desktop and shared the printer. Printing from the XP desktop no problem. Trying to print from the laptop is a hit or miss proposition. Microsoft Word declares the printer non-responsive and then refuses any attempts therafter to try to print to it. Other programs are hit or miss, with no responses or timeouts and print jobs appraently in limbo. What's wrong?
I am one step away from never buying HP again. Shared printers is not rocket science anymore. My old Epson is better at it. The only reason I switched to the HP was I ran out of ink for the Epson. That one step is a no response to this post, which seems to be a normal thing, given the few checkmarks saying solved.

The test user make it so when you sync your TX it will import your username and all the apps, data, and settings from that device to your netbook. You can remove the test user once the device is done syncing and you have your data.
When you install Palm Desktop it requires that you have a username. Sometimes if you pick the same username it says you cannot sync to this PC. Created the test username bypasses this.

WRT310N Slow wireless on Vista Laptop

Hello, I have a WRT310N. Over wired connections I get great speeds (23000kb/s download, 2600kb/s upload). Wireless is another story - On a Vista laptop I am getting 575kb/s download, 2600kb/s upload. Under network status I am showing an exellent connection and often at 270.0Mbps. What could be going on?
Solved!

Solved - Windows Update screwed me over. I deleted the most "up to date" NIC driver which had been downloaded automatically by Windows. I then installed the suggested driver from the HP site and ran TCP Optimizer. Everything is running smoothly again.

Ipod touch won't sync to Windows 8 laptop

I transferred successfully my iTunes library from my old Vista laptop to my new Windows 8 laptop. I purchased 16 songs from iTunes store. Previously, when I plugged my iPod into my old computer, it automatically started syncing. I have run the current & newest iTunes available. However, when I plug my iPod into the new computer, it does not sync and I can't find a way to manipulate it. I miss my iPod! Please help me? Thank you!

Two ways:
- Make the new computer your one syncing computer. See:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities. If all the synced media is already in the iTunes library of the new computer then just backup the iPod to the computer and rstore from that backup
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
- Use the manual method of syncing. That only works for music and videos.

Syncing is crashing my laptop

I am hoping somebody may have an idea to the cause and possible resolution to my problem.
I recently purchased the iPhone 3G, and unbricked it using my store computer. I am running windows vista with itunes 7.7.0.43 and it synced and worked fine.
I took it home to my laptop where I am running the same version of itunes on Windows XP Pro with SP2 and as soon as the device drivers installed my computer screen went completely black and the system froze. It does this every time I plug in my iPhone to my laptop (and yes it is a powered 2.0 port)
I am very confused as to the cause since the iphone connects to other computers without issue and I can still sync up my other devices to my laptop such as my Blackberry and HTC Touch.
Anyone have an idea?
Much appreciated TY

P.S. it also syncs with my friends laptop who is running xp pro with sp2 and itunes 7.7.0.43
Not sure where the incompatibility lies

I think my sync speed is stuck or been capped

Hi everyone, last week i had a full line reset because i started dropping in speed, from 16meg al the way down to 9meg, at the time time of the reset my sync speed went to 12.5meg, 24 hours later i was down to 9.494meg down and 1.12 up, im supposed to be on another 10day training but nothing has happened, meaning the hhb3 hasnt switched off or resynced since i dropped to 9.4meg, now after 5 days of constant connection there was still no change so i did a something to try and make my speed drop but nothing happened, it still synced at the exact same speed 9.4meg, im certainly not rate adaptive and i cant have any line issues or my speed would of dropped after constantly plugging in and out the socket and making it resync, so the only things i can come up with is that ive either been capped or the exchange has got stuck for some reason, ive even gone through my entire extension wiring and changed it to cat6, it made my line attenuation lower but no change in sync rate heres my speed test and hub stats.

Thanks for your replys, believe it or not my line as been more stable, meaning alot less disconnects,infact very rare since i last had the snr reset, it auto changed to fast when mods manually reset the snr a month ago, i think it sounds like a joint or something, def not my internal wiring, its all brand new as of today and theres no change in sync so, the prob lies else where, i tried to tell bt before that theres some kind of fault between the pole and the exchange last time my speed dropped when i was on adsl max, it dropped to 300k i think, i rang up for a mac code because they wouldnt acknoweldge the fact and gottalked into adsl2+, everything went well untill 3 weeksago(around that time) i was up to 16meg sync, i posted it on here, after opening my big mouth my speed started to drop so i had a manuall snr reset, that solved it for a while, then i had that bad weather and it all screwed up, like i said previous, about 10-20mins before the reset my sync dropped to 1meg and line attenuation shot up to 65db, after the reset i had 12.5meg, 24 hours later i was down to 9meg, person on the other end of the phone at bt said my minimum sync should be around 12meg

Questions and answers on DLM, sync speed and real ...

I was confused about some DML details and posted on a BE forum (https://avatar.bethere.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43542) and got what was to me an incredibly helpful response from Tom (drsox). I thought it would be of interest to some readers here so copy it below. Once again, many thanks Tom.
1) FTTC DLM applies only between the cabinet and the modem?
>> Yes, as there isn't any broadband / data signal going anywhere further down the line to the exchange if you are on FTTC!
2) What are the different parameters that apply on this hop? I know there is a current sync speed, a current snr, a target snr and an ip profile. Anything else?
>> The IP profile isn't really related to DLM, it just "follows" your sync rate. In the past the IP profile would take up to 3 days to "follow upwards", leaving you with a high sync and awful speeds! This has been changed now on 21cn and "RE-ppp"ing (rebooting the router) would force the IP Profile to update instantly.
DLM changes the SNR target. So where BE have hard coded / set SNR targets such as 3db, 6db, 9db, 12db etc.. They only change upon user request. BT use their DLM system where line instability or line error counts are collected and analysed, the SNR target and interleaving settings are then modified in increments to try and stabilise the line.
This image shows quite well how, over a 6 day period, BTs DLM noticed that my line fault was fixed. I didn't get the full speed back for a week.
3) Is the ip profile the same as the BRAS profile?
>>Yes
4) The DLM keeps statistics of errors etc to dynamically change the ip profile?
>> Changes the SNR target and interleaving for the line which will reduce the speed, and therefor the IP profile.
5) There is a general theory that the DLM is incapable of telling the difference between an error and a modem power cycle, so that power cycling can cause your profile to lower. Is that correct?
>> Yes, if you resync / power cycle your router multiple times in a day it is likely to try and "combat the line errors" and reduce your sync rate by increasing the SNR and / or interleaving on the line.
6) Can other connections and disconnections have the same effect? For example, if I reboot the router (where this is separate from the modem)? Or use the router interface to disconnect/reconnect the broadband?
>> PPP drops (router reboots while leaving the BT Openreach VDSL modem on and connected) won't affect DLM. The IP profile will match your sync rate upon reconnection of the PPP session.
7) If you have a low ip profile, does this mean that the sync is limited to the ip profile?
>> Other way around, if you have a low sync rate then the IP profile will match the sync rate. If you get an awful sync rate and the IP profile follows downwards, then you resync higher but the router "keeps the PPP session open" (which is possible if you resync quick enough) then your IP profile will stay low, even though the sync is high. Until you reboot your router or disconnect and reconnect the PPP session.
8) Can the sync rate change dynamically without a reconnection? If the ip profile gradually rises, will the cabinet force a resync to make sure the customer is actually getting the benefit of the higher ip profile, or must the user intervene with a modem resync?
>> See above - Sync can rise without affecting the IP Profile and the cabinet does not force a RE-PPP.
8) As I understand it, if the ip profile gets stupidly low for some reason, it can only be reset by BT wholesale? This will only be done after a visit to your home and a telephone call from the engineer to the BT wholesale central admin?
>> Mixed reports plus I don't think people understand the difference between sync speeds, line faults, the delay in DLM increasing sync after a fault.. I expect half the reports on the BT forum are not related to a stuck BRAS / IP profile. It is possible for the ISP or a BT engineer to reset the IP profile and possibly DLM training.
9) (8) This applies to all ISPs using BT Wholesale: some may be more willing to force this process to happen on behalf of their customers, but none can cirumvent it?
>> GEA providers (I believe) still have DLM but don't have BRAS / IP profiles unless they implement their own.
10) Who sets the snr? As I understand it, the customer has no direct control. Is this different for different ISPs?
>> Mixed information again, I believe that BT Wholesale give providers DLM override controls and SNR settings but none? (or few) ISPs use this system.
11) Real download/upload speeds are physically limited by the sync rate. They are also naturally limited by local limitations (such as wireless connections), server limitations, and congestion at various points along the route? Any more? The congestion along the route will vary bewteen ISPs as they use different routes with different capabilitues.
>> It is possible for BTs regional or local cabinet network to become congested. Supposedly the minimum speed you should achieve over the BT part of the network is 15mbps. ISPs such as Plusnet, BT etc.. then layer their own "discriminatory" traffic management on top of that (ie, slow down torrents etc.).
12) Real speeds are 'unnaturally' limited by throttling. This will also vary from ISP to ISP. Sky claims to have none, and BT none except for p2p. PlusNet and John Lewis have significant (but well explained)throttling. All the more expensive operators have none.
>> What you said
13) The ip profile affects the sync rate, and therefore actual speeds. Does the ip profile effect actual speeds in any other way?
>> Not quite right. The IP profile directly affects the speeds you can achieve but the sync rate affects the IP profile. The sync rate is determined by the stability and quality of your line and what DLM thinks it can cope with.
14) Many people (including AndrueC above) report real speeds from speedtests that are consistent and not close to the ip profile. These can't be explained by congestion (that would make them inconsistent). They can't be explained by server limitations, as they are consistent accross servers and the same servers give better speeds to other people. They can't be explained by local limitations, too many people claim sudden drops where the local conditions have not changed. They should not be able to be explained by throttling, as they as seen for many ISPs who do not throttle (I don't hold with the ISP lying theory here). What other factors are there that can explain these cases?
>> AndrueC and some other Sky customers have strange symptoms where speeds are around 20mbps rather than the full sync speed. The only logical explanation is either local cabinet congestion, contention between BT and the provider's network (not enough investment by the provider) or artificial traffic management on the providers side. It is also possible that the router that the customer has attached to their line is unsuitable for the higher speeds. For example an old ethernet router may only be able to cope with 20 or 30mbps! A friend of mine has a TP-Link ethernet router running Tomato on a BT 80mbps service but the TP-Link's CPU limitation causes his service to only perform at around 68mbps; he has a replacement router on order. (Obviously wifi will significantly reduce performance).
15) If you get a stupidly low ip profile, how long can you except it to take before it climbs to something more reasonable? (eg in my particular case, my profile is currently around 15Mb, and from BT service line tests should be around 58Mb). And the classic question, is it best to power cycle the modem (1) never, (2) occasionally (how often) or (3) never if at all possible? Mine did jump from 3.5Mb to 15Mb on one power cycle. Was that just coincidence?
>> My FTTC line took about 6 to 7 days to go from 40mbps to 80mbps after a line fault. It is possible that your 3.5mbps to 15mbps increase was the "re-ppp" affecting the BRAS profile and that your sync had slowly been increasing over time.

what a waste of money sending an engineer to "fix a fault" which does not exist. Precisely.
In my original BE post to which Tom so helpfully responded, I began: It seems to me that DLM is an excellent concept with a highly flawed implementation, both technically and administratively. I think that sending out an engineer to fix an obviously flawed profile is the main example of an adminastrative flaw. I understand (I can't remember source, maybe Tom again) that they are sometimes relaxing the requirement for a visit before reset.
Maybe the DLM system is too keen on stability vs speed. This will keep complaints down from many people: most users won't notice speed too much as long as it is reasonable, but will be upset if their Skype calls and browsing are being interrupted too often.
However, it does lead to complaints from people who notice the drops after an incidence (as in your thread that has drawn lots of interest), or who only get 50 instead of 60. The main technical flaw is that DLM can so easily be confused by drops from loss of power, too much modem recycling, etc, and then takes so long to recover.

Trying to Home share an itunes library from Vista laptop to Windows 8 laptop

Alright, so both laptops have been setup the same, home sharing turned on, exact same apple id and password. Both computers can see each other in the dropdown menu for "library", HOWEVER, while the Vista laptop can see & import the library from the Windows 8 laptop, then Windows 8 laptop cannot see & therefore not import the library from the Vista laptop & out of the system without issue, the router has been checked to ensure that nothing is standing in the way on that end either. Is this some sort of backwards incompatibility? Or am I overlooking something obscenely obvious? Any and all help is welcome, I have looked at a large number of discussions here and throughout the web already, nothing seems to work for my situation. Please help!!!

Hello there MicknMadd,
It sounds like one of your computers can see the others library and import from it, but the other does not. You've done a lot of great troubleshooting and verification already, and I would recommend steps 5-7 from the following article to help further troubleshoot:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
5. Check Firewall settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device.
Note that Home Sharing cannot transfer or stream audiobook content purchased from Audible.com. See Audible.com for information on using their content with multiple devices.
7. Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the method recommended in documentation from the manufacturer. This may include disconnecting the power cord for thirty seconds or more.
Note: During this period, Internet services such as a VoIP-based phone will not work, and any additional routers may need to be reset in sequence.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.
