K430 Issues with slow wifi

We have Verizon FIOS Quantum 50/50.  Desktop is in gameroom and is getting 3-5 download and same upload.  Brought two laptops upstairs - getting 45-50 on each.  Samne Realtek wireless cards as in K430.  Verizon said it's equipment issue since laptops are getting correct speeds.  Have rebooted.  Have emptied cache, temp files, run FIOS optimizer.  Nothing helps.  Moved K430 from floor to on top of desk - same thing.  Any ideas?

is it worth replacing internal wireless card?

  • Windows 7 icons disappear/reappear Green Progress folder bar issues with slow performance. HELP!!!

    Hi there, I hope someone can help me. This all started about a week ago. So I tried a fresh reinstall from my recovery disk. to no avail. Ok I have Home Premium 64bit and it seems my icons in my user folders and subfolders and the actual file icons are
    blank stand ard or missing. after a while they reappear to normal. the green progress bar in the explorer folders always lags and never fully completes. It hangs. Now I see that it takes 30 secs to get a program to open. Currently my control panel screen is
    blank and my connection between my ipod touch 5g and my desktop is very slow at data transfer. I'm going bonkers! The only things I altered was turning off WMM in my router, Installed a software someone gave me (only to find out it was a crack software) deleted
    that first! and used CCleaner to clean my registry

    Hi,
    So a total reinstall didn’t fix the issue?
    We may take a try with the following article to make Windows a better performance.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/optimize-windows-better-performance#optimize-windows-better-performance=windows-7
    Then, please check to see if any new updates available, also the related drivers, make sure they are up-to-date.
    After that, if issue insists, please refer to the following article to run chkdsk command in CMD to check if there are disk issue.

  • HT1351 I have tried numerous times to resolve an issue with my wife's iPod (5th gen#.  When I connect to iTunes I get a pop up error message that goes like this - The iPod "Linda's iOod" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occured #13019)...What do I do?

    I have had very much trouble adding music to my wife's iPod.  Every time I connect to iTunes, I get an error message that reads ...The iPod "Linda's iPod" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occured (13019)...I have tried diagnostics, help and what ever iTunes has to offer and cannot fix the issue.  I want to add a new playlist with new music.  When I connect her iPod, the playlist shows up on her device.  When I disconnect, I can not find it in order to play it.  Help me.

    Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos.  You may want to try the remedy described in this document

    although it says it's for the 6th gen iPod nano.

  • For those having issues with networking (wifi) after 10.6.7 installation

    Hi everyone,
    I don't want to get your hopes up, but I MAY have found at least a temporary solution to this very annoying problem. It involves deleting a preference file and restarting, so it's worth a shot. I can't promise that it's a permanent fix since I've only just gotten my connection back up and running, but it is a start. This also works for those who are getting the "self-assigned IP" error.
    Simply go to your Library/Preferences/ folder and look for the com.apple.alf.plist and delete it by holding shift+apple+backspace. You may want to back up this file prior to deleting this, as this file is associate with your firewall. Any changes you made to your firewall will need to be reapplied, so keep that in mind. After deleting the file, simply restart and make sure your wifi settings are right. This worked for me after one restart, and I've now been running solid for about an hour. Again, I don't know if this will be a long term fix since the connection seems to fail after a few days of use, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
    Please let me know if this has been of any help.

    Veggibacon,
    I've been having the same connection dropout issue since 10.6.7 but with ethernet rather than wifi. Saw your post a couple of weeks ago and figured I could safely ignore it since my firewall was off and I wasn't connecting with wifi… silly me. Came back to this post (out of desperation, really) and even with the firewall off, deleting the com.apple.alf.plist file and restarting seems to have fixed my problem, for the time being. Considering the success, or total lack thereof, that I've had with every other "fix" that I've tried I'm curios how it is working out for you after a month. Has it really fixed the problem or has the problem resurfaced?

  • YEARS-old issue with slow play, 100% cpu usage, and conspiracy theories

    I've had the same issue for YEARS now, with flash videos (like on youtube) and games starting out okay, but after a little while, they just start to stutter and slow way down, while the CPU usage goes up to ridiculous levels. The browser doesn't matter, firefox or chrome, online content or run off the local hard drive. I have the latest flash player, and this has been a problem ever since at least version 9. I'm using XP. I think version 8 never had this issue, but unfortunately all recent games and youtube videos won't run with version 8. Adobe did something with recent versions of flash player that causes this issue now. Google search and you'll see countless threads from people with all kinds of computers with all kinds of specs having the exact same issue.
    There has never been an entry in the Adobe knowledgebase about it, despite the persistence of this problem.
    It's like it's a coverup or something. The more I think about it, the more it reminds me about when the Netscape browser was caught secretly uploading information to their servers and resulting in browser slowdowns. Is flash player doing the same thing? Adobe has already been caught out with spyware-like activities with Photoshop connecting to Omniture through the flash-enabled splash screens that were purposely disguised to look like they were innocently connecting to a user's local system, but in fact connecting to stat and online marketing sites. Is this why this years-old problem has never been addressed in any official way? Now I'm just rambling. I want a fix. It's been years now that I haven't been able to enjoy more than a few minutes worth of flash content.
    At this point, even if Adobe shrugged their shoulders and said "yeah, we know about the problem but we have no idea how to fix it" would be better than nothing at all.

  • Are there any known issues with iPad wifi connections to Comcast routers

    I consistently get the "unable to join network " error when trying to connect to my Comcast all in one router.  My other laptops and smartphones connect without issue.  I'm using 32GB iPad2 with wi-fi + 3G.  Coincidentally I switched to comast at the same time I did the 5.1.1 update.  Prior to the switch i had a fios router and 5.0 OS version. I've tried resetting the network info on the iPad and I've reset the router as well.  I can see the network just cant connect to it. 

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • WRVS440N issue with slow FTP

    Have a 4400N wireless router, which has the current firmware & IPS signatures loaded on it.  A client wants me to exchange some files with them via their FTP site.  I am able to connect to the FTP site, but the upload & download or files is extremely slow.  I have a Mediacom cable modem coming into my 4400N router, my laptop in this scenario is connected with a wired connection. 
    Funny thing, I reboot the router and then as soon as it comes up I connect to FTP site and upload/download is very fast, speed I would expect all the time.  Then I disconnect from FTP, come back hours later or next day and FTP speeds are extremely slow again.  Reboot router and connection is fast again.  My browsing speed and e-mail download speed is solid all the time, and very quick.  Appears that only FTP is affected by this router reboot.
    Not sure why this is.  Any ideas or explanations?

    I'm also having issue's but I'm unable to upload anything at all. Even a tiny .html file with about 5kb, will time out when performing this step "commmand:    STOR index.html, reply:    150 Opening ASCII mode data connection." A few kb are transferred, sometimes more sometimes less but never enough for the whole file.
    I opened all ports, I tried different programs, I know everything should work anyway as I can access the ftp at university or every other internet connection but at home it wont do.
    Are you honestly telling me the top notch router from linksys isnt able to perform ftp uploads

  • Having an issue with my wifes user name poping up when I update apps.

    I sync my iPhone and iPad on the same PC as my wife and have for a while now. Recently after all the os7 jargen I have a new problem. Some of the apps that I have she has never downloaded or used, yet it still asks for her password. So I cant update my apps unless I use her password. I try resetting, reinstalling apps from iTunes, and still the same issues. I have never had as many issues in the whole time I had this phone that I have in the last month. I hope there is a fix for this.

    The device will only prompt for an Apple ID credentials if there is content on the device was acquired with that Apple ID.

  • Start-up issues with slowness, blocked icons and disk 'whirr'

    Hi
    Bought a MB Pro 13" standard model about six weeks ago. This morning, for the first time start-up was incredibly slow, I had the 'beachball' (no clock or data in the top right corner) and I could not select the icons on my Desktop. The Dock appeared after a while but then none of the programmes responded and the clock/battery data etc still did not appear.
    It sounded like the hard disc was also trying 'to start' or something with a low whirr.
    I´m new to Mac but have searched these forums and used the Disc Utility. The programme mentioned an Invalid Volume count and couldn't be repaired.
    Any help or advice regarding what to do next? I'd like to avoid losing all my files, emails from Office '11 for example...
    Many thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's also possible that your hard drive is failing. If so, you will need to replace it. If Apple replaces it under warranty, they will keep the old drive.
    Try Disk Warrior and see if it fixes your problem. If it does, get an external drive and use Time Machine or Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a backup, so that you won't have to worry about losing data again. All hard drives will eventually fail--that is just a reality. Having your data on 2 or more hard drives greatly decreases the chance of losing everything.
    Good luck!

  • Odd issue with slow motion and exporting

    Hello,
    I have a project with footage taken at either 24p or 60i settings on a Canon HF200. I'm using 7.0.1, ProRes 422 selected. Frame size is set to 1920x1080. I'm exporting using the "Share" menu and the Apple TV preset.
    The project is divided into sequences. One of these sequences (whose source material shot using the 60i setting) is set to play in slow motion using the "change speed" option set to 50%.
    Here's the odd part, to me at least:
    When I export just the slow motion sequence of the project, it plays perfectly (good quality, smooth not jerky, no shadows/trails). But when I export all sequences joined together, the slow motion sequence (and just the slow motion sequence) appears stuttery, with trails on every action by the actors.
    Another odd bit: when I export just a subset of the project including the slow motion sequence and everything after it, again the slow motion sequence plays as intended, after export. So the problem only occurs if I export the slow motion sequence with anything before it included.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Problem solved, but I'm not sure if it was my re-importing the clips, or un-checking the "frame blending" option that did it. I did both for no particular reason, and one of them worked.

  • IPhoto issue with slow response or hanging on startup

    When I attempt to start iPhoto the little gear in the middle of the screen starts spinning and never stops!  I cannot get it to actually start up.  Tried rebooting, fixing permissions on the disc and forcing it to quit...  Not sure what to do!  Please help.  My wife and I are very very frustrated with this app!
    -Mike

    What version of iPhoto are you running and what system? As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?  Have you rebooted recently?

  • Issues with slow page loading and HTTPS

    Hi there.
    Have had infinity installed for about 3 months and have in the last week to 10 days noticed that web pages are loading slowly. I'm using a wired connection on a fast PC with Chrome as standard browser, although I have tested with IE and my wife has tested with Safari and had the same problem.
    If I type in a web address I will get a blank screen with the "Untitled" name on the tab for anything from 5-15 seconds. It seems to be slowest when the browser is first opened and it's looking for my homepage (Google.com) which can take up to 20 seconds to load.
    I am also noticing a degredation in performance with a few HTTPS sites I use, mostly banking (Barclays and Santander) and a corporate email web portal - Microsoft OWA. These time out frequently and require the browser to be re-opened.
    Rebooting the hub and router doesn't seem to make a difference. I have run the diagnostics robot and it found nothing amiss, green across the board. I'm in an RM postcode and nothing on the alerts that affects me that I can see. Linetest is fine also.
    Aside from that, everything seems to be fine. I get very good speedtest results  and downloading and uploading is very quick.
    Any thoughts?
    G.
    (edited to correct typos)

    Could be because of low speed but I doubt it, can you follow this website quickly and paste the results back thanks.

  • Premiere Elements 7 issues with slow playback, also after exporting

    Everyone,
    I recently bought Premiere Elements 7 and I am running it on a sufficient computer (Dual core 2.4Ghz, 4 gigs of ram, 8800GTX gfx card).
    This all runs on Windows XP, but when I put the video files in Elements. Premiere just plays back slowly.
    Everything seems to move in slow motion.
    Also after exporting, the video is in slow motion.
    The audio on the other hand works fine.
    The video files are .MP4 coming from a Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder.

    Thanks for your reply Grisetti, the funny thing is actually I also tried to work with the files on an Octo core which also didn't work.
    Nevertheless, because that after exporting, so basically rendering, it is also out of sync and playing in slow motion. This is weird because no matter how fast or slow the computer, after rendering it shouldn't matter in the result.
    The files are not AVCHD, they are already stored as MP4 files directly on the memorycard of the camera, and can just be copied and pasted onto the computer using a card reader.

  • Is anyone having issues with slow speeds using safari 8.0

    my requests to some sites are left hanging and I have checked my internet speeds.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
