Lots of internet lag with MBP

I have noticed that I'm getting tons of internet lag on my MBP 15". This is using a wireless connection with WEP through a DLink DI-614+ router. What usually happens is that every page I load in Safari will take awhile to get started, then will render itself at a normal pace.
What makes me think this is a Mac problem is that I am having zero problems with my Vista notebook running simultaneously.
What's more I don't remember having this problem upto the beginning of June (I was in a different country between now and then) - so perhaps it is related to an update since then?

Yes, looks like probably the same/similar thing as the above thread issues. In my case I'll mention that it has nothing to do with battery vs AC, and is reproducible every time.
Current solution - switched to boot camp and now working perfectly under XP ... .. hopefully Apple will fix this apparently fairly wide-spread issue soon.
Also on the assumption that it relates to the last update, which I think was not so long ago.. I don't think I can do an archive/install (or something like that..) because I don't have my setup disks in this country, and will have to wait until September to get them.

Wireless Internet Lags with Spinning Color Wheel, but only on My MBP

I've noticed for the past 2 weeks or so my internet connection has been really laggy and it takes forever to do anything. If I click on something, the spinning color wheel shows up. If I scroll up or down the page, the spinning color wheel shows up. I've tried clearing cache and it'll speed things back to normal for a few hours, but it'll go back to being really slow.
Right now the spinning color wheel isn't showing up, but it might as well be cause the wait time is the same. It'll take roughly 5-10 seconds to scroll.
I'm using Firefox as my Internet browser if that makes any difference. When I check the Activity Monitor, the %CPU for it ranges from 14.9 to 76.9 to 105.7. That's the only thing with more than 1%CPU? As for System Memory, I have:
FREE: 287.6 MB, WIRED: 764.4 MB, ACTIVE: 2.11 GB, INACTIVE: 885.8 MB, USED: 3.73 GB (the numbers keep changing though)
The other laptops using the same wireless connection don't have the same problem however. One's a Windows Vista machine while the other is also a MacBook Pro (though one year newer than mine).
Does anyone have any idea what might be affecting this and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

Clone the system to the SSD (250GB $120 EVO 850 Samsung) using CCC -
http://www.bombich.com
Might be a good time though to do a clean install and then use Setup Assistant
No maintenance?
Always have a couple bootable system drives, one for maintenance, one from last month or just prior to when you last made changes to the system.
Take a look in Activity Monitor for pageouts, disk usage, and what is running
And start TimeMachine backup routine,
Copy your data to a new 2TB drive like WD Black ~$120 also
Leave the old drive as is for now, later you can erase and try using for a backup

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Netflix recommend a minimum connection speed of 0.5 Mbps, however at that speed many of the other features of the Apple TV will be painfully slow.

Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth (part of the MX5000 bundle) with MBP- lag/erratic

Hi,
I have the MX1000 BT mouse. It connects fine and works well with Steermouse but Im experiencing lagging and erratic movement sometimes. Im using it with my MPB. Anyone experience this? Is there a way to correct it? any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Hmm. That's strange. Anthony, if you're working fine then mine must be defective. it's actually ok most of othe time, but I notice the lags with the process is in use for example when a program is launch or some other processing happening in the background. The lags are never huge but you can see the cursor skips and jumps sometimes. Thanks for the feedback. Would love to hear more from the others.
tirnszw, this mouse doesn't have USB or PS2 connection, so I can't test that.

Iphone4 with IOS6 uses lots of internet data

Hi everybody,
my iPhone4 after IOS6 installation, waste a lot of internet data, even if i close all the applications.
In the last 2 months i went over my internet data limit, and i had to pay for the extra data.
Obviously, also battery life has dramatically changed...
I read that is ad issue related to a bug in iCloud.
Did anybody experience the same problem ?

Vegas,
Push notifications aren't active, they listen on an open connection, they don't poll/ping the server like you're saying...
Here's what goes on behind the scenes:
The server will initiates a connection to the phone through the registration system by Apple or a Certified Push Hub.
Hey iPhone, I have a notification and iMessage for you.
iPhone says, cool! Send it!
*recieved* Yay! thanks!

Share Cinema Display and peripherals with MBP and PC

Share Cinema Display and peripherals with MBP and PC
I am about to be forced to use a business network connected PC in my office, but I will continue to bring my personal MacBook Pro to work for my personal e-mail, calendar, internet, etc. (it will be connected to a seperate open DSL network). I am thinking about getting an Apple Cinema display and trying to use this one display for both computers. I would like a way to "switch back and forth" between the two systems, all the while using the same mouse, keyboard, printer and Cinema display.
Does anyone have any experience setting up what I am wanting to do?
Also, how does connecting an external display effect a MBP? Can you close the screen on the MBP, turning off the MBP's display but keeping the computer running? I'd like to be able to tuck the MBP out of the way to save deskspace but still be using it via the Cinema display and peripherals...
Thanks so much!

You can use synergy (link: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) to link the mouse and keyboard across the two platforms.
If you want to use only one display, you'll need a KVM switch.
You can run the MBP either with it's own screen open, or shut it and use only the external screen.
Hopefully this helps a little...

Sharing internet connection with a PC

Hi, I have a macbook with the latest OS X. I want to know if it is possible to share my PC's internet connection with my laptop, either through wifi, bluetooth, or firewire. I am running XP on the PC. I will not have a wireless network up, and I would like to have internet on both my mac and my pc. Is there a device that i can hook into my PC to broadcast a wifi network. It doesnt have to have a large range, I'll be using my laptop close to my desktop.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Really cool feature alert. Under System Preferences-->Sharing you can have your Mac share to any computer connected via Wi-fi, Firewire, or Ethernet. Whichever adapters are not used for the Internet connection are available.
It saved me lots of grief setting up some stubborn Windows boxen that only loaded the firewire driver as the OS was setup.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

What wiring changes involved in upgrading from FIOS internet to FIOS internet + TV with DVR

We have FIOS internet now with Actiontec router but we still have Comcast TV. I am considering switching over to FIOS for TV too but would like to know what wiring changes would be involved, if any. I'll describe the current setup. We have a couple of soho LANS and new wiring cannot be run to the two soho LANs.
ONT.....coax cable......4-way coax splitter...
Splitter Leg#1 goes to the Actiontec router.
Splitter Leg#2 goes to coax line to a home office. There's an ethernet-coax bridge (Actiontec ECB2200) and a router for a small soho LAN there.
Splitter Leg#3 goes to coax line to the attic. In the attic there's an ethernet-coax bridge (Actiontec ECB2200) and a router for a secon small soho LAN there.
Splitter Leg#4 is free.
Will adding FIOS TV be as simple as attaching a coax cable to Leg#4 on the splitter and connecting that coax to the DVR?

Absolutely. All you have to worry about is running the RG6 coax from the splitter to the DVR, and Verizon may even cover that depending on the terms of your install. Good luck..

Huge CPU and HDD load without a reason. And lots of bugs, lags, crashes and freezes

So with latest updates Firefox became as shitty as Google Chrome and other browsers made by marketers instead of programmers.
Everyday I see crashes, lags, freezes. If I open more than 5 tabs - lags with flash-video guaranteed. If I open large pages (9Gag) - there's a big chance of "black screening" of all the tabs until restart.
Why previous versions worked fine? In the same hardware.
Here's screenshot of taskmanager while Firefox doing that "blackscreening":
http://i.imgur.com/ufobuct.png
Why do I have to restart my browser each 30 minutes to prevent that bugs? Why my CPU and HDD loaded as hell by fckng browser when I can't even use this browser?
What a hell are you doing there, developers?

I thought it will be attached automatically when I installed addon for this and saw "attach something" button.

How can I use Internet Sharing with Firewall on ?

Hi,
My PowerMac G5 is connected to the internet via Ethernet. I share the connection to a Powerboog via Airport using internet sharing. Everything is working fine except when I turn the Firewall on. After reading http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107653 I tried opening port 443 but it still does'nt work. I'd like to be able to use internet sharing with the firewall on. Anyone can help me ? Thanks!

Hmmm, how curious... I never had to do that in 10.4.7 or 10.4.8... the only ones I ever tried Internet Sharing with.
I'm wondering if turning the Firewall on after the Internet sharing is what's doing it? Just for kicks you might try turning off Internet Sharing, then Firewall on, then turn on Internet Sharing.
If that doesn't work, then I'd personally try trashing...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
Then reboot and try the Firewall again.

My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

Hi:
I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core. I have os 10.7.3. I use wifi.
Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely. Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements. Other sites operate quickly from time to time. Often, a site will simply fail to load at all. My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites. It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

Hi, all...
I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
* Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
* Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
* Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
Many thanks,
Bill J.
MacBook 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMac 17in Core 2 Duo 2.0, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, IBM NetVista M42

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
they were no help either.
I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
Thx again.

Lots of internet lag with MBP
