Mac Pro Late 2008 Slow Internet

Hi,
I have a problem with my Mac Pro Late 2008, version 3.1.
I Have an High Speed internet connection 60mbps download and 10 mbps Upload.
I Have a Gigabit Routeur with a Gigabit Switch, and a proper cable setup made by a professional.
So here's the problem.
My Mac Pro cannot not acheive to get the 60 mbps speed in any way. the max that i can get is 20 mbps.
Here's what i tried :
With the same ethernet wire, i plug in 5 differents mac with different versions of OSX (2 Macbook Pro Retine, MacBook Pro 15", Mac Mini, MacBook Pro 13"), they all get the 60 MBPS speed.
With the same wire, i tried the 2 differents network plug on the mac pro.
All those test have been made with only this mac pro plugged into the Switch, so no other computer are using the Bandwidth. And the routeur reset to be sure it will give a new IP adress and forget all the other computer and devices.
I've tried different DNS on my mac pro, Google, OpenDNS (paid subscription), My internet provider.
I've reset the PRAM of my mac Pro
I've reset the SMS of my Mac Pro
I've done the test with 10.5.x, 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9.x
None of those procedure worked.
The only way that i finally get to have the 60MBPS is to plug the mac directly to the Cable Modem of my provider, without any routeur or switch, and you can understand, that's not a livable option.
So I don't what else to do, is anyone ad the same problem?
Here's the Specs :
  Nom du modèle :          Mac Pro
  Identifiant du modèle :          MacPro3,1
  Nom du processeur :          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  Vitesse du processeur :          3 GHz
  Nombre de processeurs :          2
  Nombre total de cœurs :          8
  Cache de niveau 2 (par processeur) :          12 Mo

  Vitesse du bus :          1,6 GHz
  Version de la ROM de démarrage :          MP31.006C.B05

  Numéro de série (système) :          NQ******200
  UUID du matériel :          ****
<Edited By Host>

I'm using Speedtest.net to mesure my internet connection.
My local connection seem to run at gigabit speed. If i copy a very large file from my Mac pro to my MacMini Server, it take the same time as if i copy the same file from my macbook pro retina (wired connection of course, thunderbolt to ethernet adapater).
I don't really know how to mesure the Bandwidth, near changing the node.

  • Mac Pro Late 2008 1GB LAN Problem Yosemite

    In work i have 20 Mac Pro Late 2008 and 5 Mac Pro Early 2013 all connected to server with 1GB LAN speed so all work on 1GB speed
    All Mac Pro users connect to server folder for work
    I found one **** of annoying problem
    i did speed test using "LAN Speed Test" for writing and reading purpose on same folder they use in the server since users with Mac yosemite complains of slowness while they work
    In the machines running OS X 10.8.5 i run LAN Speed Test and it gives writing 1GB and reading 1GB
    In the machines running OS X 10.10.2 i run LAN Speed Test and it gives writing 100MB and reading 1GB
    I was confused so i test on all machines with mac yosemite and they show all the same results
    so i took my MacBook Pro Mid 2009 running OS X 10.10.2 and plugin the LAN cable from machines running OS X 10.8.5 (since they show 1GB for R/W) and run the test again ..... i was shocked that it gives me the same results 100MB writing and 1GB reading
    Formatted my MacBook Pro to OS X 10.9.5 and it gave me same problem, then formatted to 10.8.5 and it gave me 1GB R/W
    Now im 1000% sure its OS X 10.10 & 10.9 problem
    Is there any solution regards this problem since i googled without results?

    I know the difference of MB/s and Mb/s heres the test for you

  • 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.

  • WiFi on 10.7.1 Mac Pro late 2008

    I have a mac pro that is a late 2008 model. I have installed 10.7.4 and 10.7.1 on seperate hard drives. However neither one seems to recognize the airport card. Is there an update I need or setting to change? Thanks.

    On the old 11 Mbits/sec "original" Airport, aka 802.11b, there were 11 channels for data, and your Router could use any channel. For Single-band 54Mbits/sec 802.11g or 802.11n, there are now only three usable channels. Based on the old numbering system, these are channels 1, 6, and 11. Signal spills over into the adjacent two channels up and two channels down to fill the entire spectrum.
    You can sometimes shoehorn your signal in by manually setting in-between channels, but results vary widely.
    6 nearby Routers will eventually change channels until there are two on every useable channel, and that will fill the entire spectrum with competing stations, all trying to talk at about the same time.
    A Dual-band Router (and dual-band Airport extreme card) can switch up to a different frequency band when things get crowded, and can operate on higher-numbered channels: 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165
    This is what my report looks like, and I DO have an Apple Airport card installed:

  • Excessive Fan Noise in Mac Pro (Late 2008)

    Starting in October of 2009, at about one year of age, my Mac Pro started cycling through periods of excessive fan noise: the fan goes from quiet/inaudible to so loud that I cannot hear talking on the radio in the room.
    Re-set the PRAM.
    Re-set the SMC.
    Ran HW Test (Full test) and got the following: 4sns/1/40000000:tcbh -127.500
    Called Apple Support.
    Re-ran Hardware Test showed no problem.
    Did nothing more. Machine seemed fine.
    In January of 2010, the problem returned.
    Ran HW test (Full test) and got the following: 4sns/1/40000000:tcbh -127.500
    Per instructions from Apple over the phone, I took the Mac Pro to a "Genius" at the local Apple Store "Genius Bar."
    The "Genius" booted the Mac Pro on the store network (while I waited) and got the same error message. The "Genius" said he would order some parts and install them.
    Left machine.
    Received call one day later from another "Genius." He said the first "Genius" was wrong. They've been running the machine continuously with no error message at all. (BTW, he treated me like an idiot, though he clearly didn't have all the facts in the store's own record about the machine. Typical 20-something IT kid.) After some argument, he agreed to run more tests. Received another call fro yet another "Genius" telling me the machine was OK.
    I picked up the machine.
    The fans continue their behavior, BUT HW test (full test) now shows NO error.
    At rope's end. Clearly Apple will be of no assistance, despite the warranty I paid for.
    The machine cannot be used in the same room as I as I cannot talk on the phone, etc., with the fans running so loud, which they appear to do every 30 to 60 minutes.
    Any ideas?
    Some thoughts:
    The problems started not long after installing 10.6. Coincidence?
    I am not sure, but I think the fans go nuts whenever I use iTunes or Quicktime. I have not tested this and I could be wrong, but whenever I have those programs closed, the fans seem to settle down.
    If no one has any ideas, I'm thinking of selling the machine and getting something else, as it is not useful "as is."

    There are reports of the new MacPros having heat issues rendering audio (QuickTime/ iTunes).
    Seems to be a hardware configuration issue not a software problem.

  • Mac Pro (Late 2013) OSX abnormally slow

    Hi,
    I'm not sure why but my OSX is running much slower then before, weird thing is I don't even install many softwares in it. Below is the description of the issues I'm facing.
    Beach ball frenzy, lots of things ended up with beach balls from switching back and forth between apps (safari and cad). Within app itself, safari freezes occasionally and then whatever I click during that time period (like opening a new tab, links in the page) will suddenly open and this goes on with other apps as well, even finder takes a few seconds to show the content.
    Start up time : 14.2 sec
    Waiting for shut down menu to appear : 15 secs
    Click shut down: forever (monitor goes to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity, but computer is not turned off)
    Previously, whenever software update requires restart, os will just hang and give a grey screen error, this will cause my computer to be in a boot loop where turning off will show the same error as well. Only way I find out is to open in safe boot, apply update and all goes to normal but it seems the problem is not solved cause now my OS just doesn't work properly. 
    Oddly enough, I got no problem installing Yosemite.
    I don't think it's hardware problem cause right now my windows 8 partition is running much faster then OSX. Oh the irony

  • 2008 Mac Pro Freeze/Shutdown/Slow Errors

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro. I have had it since it was brand new and it has been a lemon from the very beginning. I already had the logic board replaced twice under Apple Care. I am really hoping it is not a failing logic board again. I know this generation of Mac Pro's are famous for issues.
    The symptoms started about three weeks ago. At first it would suddenly just randomly restart while I was just surfing the web. No warning, no freeze, just a restart. Back then this would only happen about every 2 or 3 days. Recently the problems have increases in frequency to sometime 2 or 3 times a day.
    More recent symptoms include freezing but it won't restart itself. The cursor is just stick in place on screen so I have to manually hit power button to restart. Another symptom I have noticed was it became slow as molasses. I opened activity monitor but the CPU was not overloaded and ram wasn't close to being full either. I was not rendering video simply surfing.
    Here is what I have done so far. Zapped Pram multiple times. I have restarted and used Disk Utility to repair all disks. I have unplugged all cables and power to reset SMC several times. Under system information Diagnostics tests passed. Ram all seems ok. Hard drives smart status all report fine. About a year ago I had issues as well but that was easier to diagnose. It was a bad video card and before my computer would crash the monitor would get screen artifacts. This time I don't have a clue what is causing the problem.
    I will be glad to provide any and all info you ask for to help me solve the problem. Crash logs, any and all specs, apps installed, just ask and I will provide the info if you can help me narrow down the issue. My next steps were going to be to open it up and clean out dust, remove and reinstall hard drives and ram because I know sometimes they just don't connect properly for some reason perhaps because computer gets jostled. I was also considering reinstalling Mavericks but it seems more like a hardware issue to me. Thanks for any and all help. I am self-employed and depend on my Mac Pro for my livelihood so really need this problem solved ASAP.

    The RAM is less than 3 years old. I hit power button with SMC. Just downloaded Etrecheck. Your link didn't work but this one did http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    I have already gone into my User control log in items and removed two log in items with yellow exclamation marks that I think are the ones highlighted in red in the log below.
    A UPS is simply not an option right now nor is a SSD. My primary drive is less than a year old. If I can provide any other details let me know.
    I know this is almost certainly not malware related but running Clamware scan as a last resort which is why you see that using most CPU right now.

  • Two questions, does resetting the Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after reset? Also, do i need to remove my WLAN router and get only a plain MODEM when setting up my AIR PORT time machine?

    Two questions, does resetting my Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after resetting? Also, do i need to get rid of my WLAN router to make my AIR PORT time capsule work?
    Am grateful for any answers...its a 15,4"...
    Will soon buy a new one, is battery better on 13 than 15 "?
    Have a great day...

    If you mean restoring OS X, that won't necessarily have any effect on speed.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow your Mac down.
    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.
    More tips here >  Mac troubleshooting: What to do when your computer is too slow | Macworld
    No need for the WLAN router with AirPort Time Capsule.

  • Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

    Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

    Try this:
    clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
    Or try a clean test system install on another drive
    A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
    Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
    Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
    Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
    2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current.  Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
    When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
    TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
    Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
    And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old.  Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

  • 8 gigs in Mac Book Pro late 2008

    I have read that the Mac Book Pro late 2008 can now handle 8 gigs of ram, if you have the latest Boom Rom Version (i have the exat on needed). I currently have 4 gigs. My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple? Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?
    I am really not into HACKS, but 8 gigs would be nice.
    THanks
    bob

    +My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple?+
    It really is supported.
    +Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?+
    Yes, but you'll be paying about four times the going rate. It's easy to install RAM yourself. Just be careful not to touch the gold contacts, or if you do, clean them with rubbing alcohol. Also take care not to cross-thread the screws that hold the bottom cover on when you put them back in.

  • How can Mac Pro (late 2013) create a WiFi network for Mac Books to connect to internet?

    I am moving my Mac-Pro (late 2013) to a garden office.  I have an ethernet cable to connect it to the house network.  I also have a Mac Book Air which will only connect to a network by WiFi.  I can use this Mac-Pro to create a WiFi network and the MacBook can talk to the Mac Pro over this WiFi network.  But the Mac Book does not see the local network let alone the Internet, both of which are seen on the Mac Pro.
    Is there a way that I can connect the created WiFi network to one of the two Ethernet cards in the Mac Pro?
    Or what?
    Tim

    I have half cracked it.
    For some reason the first step it to turn internet sharing off.
    Then internet sharing can be configured and the wireless network set up and given a password.
    Then, and then only, turn internet sharing back on and turn WiFi ON.  All this is on the Mac-Pro (late 2013).
    Now the Mac Air sees the new network and can log on and connect to the WAN internet locations, at least via Safari.
    BUT if I use Finder on the Air, it will connect to the Mac Pro but it will not display what is on its disc. Though I can do screen sharing.  Odd.
    Also Air-Drop has stopped working, so there is no means of transferring files between the Pro and the Air.
    I am going away now for a few days and will revisit this on my return.
    Thanks for your help.

  • AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.

    AirDrop transfer between Mac mini (late 2012) and MacBook Pro (late 2008) works only one way.  I see both machines on both airdrop windows. Firewalls on both machines are set exactly the same way, and with Network Browser set to allow.  Can send a file from Mac mini to MacBook, but not the other way.  Never get a window asking to accept on the Mac mini.
    Found no useful documentation on AirDrop anywhere in the whole support site.

    Maybe this will work. From an Apple support article.
    You can also use the Share button to send files to your neighbors via AirDrop. In a Finder window, select the item you want to share, and then click the Share button in the toolbar. For more information about the Share button, see this help topic:

  • Macbook pro late 2008 13 inch won't run 8 gb ram

    Hello, I have a question that has been bothering me for a while now.
    I bought a 4gb Ram Module at best buy, it is 1066GhZ DDR3 SODIM.H from PNY to upgrade my macbook pro to 8gb of RAM, everything was going well, I got home and opened up my macbook, inserted the module and turned on my mac.
    Everything started working fine until I tried to open google chrome, my machine went into a kernel panic and restarted itself.
    Being as I am, I decided to wipe my machine and re-install mountain lion (I run it because mavericks slows down my computer) but my machine wouldn't let me install it.
    I opened my computer up again, re-installed the 1gb module from the fabric and the computer worked well.
    Now, my question is this: Isn't my computer able to run 8 gb in RAM? I already upgraded my firmware and read a bunch about it on the internet and have done everything necessary but my computer won't accept the module!!
    I really would like to know what is going on :/
    My specs:
    Macbook pro late 2008 unibody
    Version 10.8.5
    H2.4 GHZ Intel core 2 duo processor
    5 gb 1067 MHz DDR3 memory
    Model Identifier: MacBook5,1
    Boot ROM Version: MB51.007D.B03

    According to http://mactracker.ca database (free download) the MacBook Pro
    13-inch model identifier5.1 you've stated that you have, is Not as you've said.
    However, there was a 15-inch with the 5.1 model identifier.
    •How to identify MacBook Pro models
    Be sure to correctly identify the MacBook Pro model, and then get high quality
    RAM of proper specification of known good brand for Apple portables.
    Find an Example of correct spec RAM, by model & identifier; display size, build year:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade
    The budget name brands seldom work well in Apple products; they do OK in some
    models of old computers or loose-spec PCs. OWC/macsales and crucial.com are
    two better known reputable suppliers of upgrade parts for Macs. Be sure to match
    the correct part to the exact spec for your computer.
    •How to identify MacBook models

    Model Identifier    MacBook5,1
    Model Number    A1278

    As such the RAM spec according to MacTracker is as follows:

  • Macbook Pro Late 2008 Boot Issue

    Hello All!
    So I have an issue i would like to throw into the ring and see if I get any responses I have not thought of yet. Let me give you a quick backstory to my recent macbook adventures.... I will start with a quick prelude story.
    Chapter One:
    Purchased a used Macbook Pro, Late 2008 2.53ghz, 4gb DDR3 ram with no charger off ebay. And yes, I should know better. But honestly, it only had a cracked screen but still worked perfectly connected to an external monitor and i could not pass on the price of it.
    Chapter Two:
    After recieving my purchase, I determined that it was just a cracked cover over the LCD screen which is easily replaced, but the backlight was out on the LCD. So i ordered a new LCD. The new LCD did not fix my issue, which then pointed me to a problem on the motherboard. I then sent it out and had it repaired.
    Chapter Three:
    Upon recieving my newly repaired macbook, I installed a new SSD drive, battery and replaced the screen cover for the newly installed LCD. It looks Fantastic if I do say so myself! I then proceded to install lion and I have a perfect running Macbook Pro for less than 700 bucks after all was said and done.
    Chapter Four:
    Now, at this point you should know why I bought it... I use it for djing. That is it. There is nothing else on this. No apps, programs, or scripts. It has an updated lion OS on it and my serato itch Djing software. There isnt even any music on it as i store that on an external 3T WD elements drive. (I only installed an 80gb SSD for the OS system). Unfortunately i have had some instances where the Mac Pro has just shut down completely while im spinning! Not good for business!
    Chapter Five:
    Over the course of the last year I have noticed some things happening. Longer than normal boot times (especially since it has an SSD in it this seems wierd to me) and crashing of the Itch software while trying to analyze music or just not closing itch at all when im done playing a show and having to press and hold the power button to turn off the mac. Now for the kicker... Unbeknowst to me, apparently you cant use a 65W charger on a macbook that requires an 85W charger, this i just recently learned. The charger i was using was a 65W from a white 13 inch macbook 2006. I just recently aquired the 85W charger.
    This brings us to the present.....
    Here is the issue. I was analyzing my music files using itch, when suddenly & randomly one of the 2 analyzing indicators would just stop analyzing the track it was on... This leaves only one analyzer bar going and the other just stuck where it is (16000 songs will take awhile with only one analyzer going). If i stop analyzing and restart it, it picks up where it left off and continues for a bit and stops again, but its never the same track or same length of time before it stops analyzing. Now I have tried this with both Lion and Snow Leopard (the white macbook 2006 has snow) and it appears to happen with either OS.
    So I decided to install Snow on my Mac Pro 2008. For some reason, and I dont know why, it would not let me install snow to the partion I made on the drive. The disc would just keep rebooting the Mac pro over and over again. I know for a fact that snow works because I took the drive out of the white Macbook 2006 and put it into the Mac Pro 2008. Booted right up.
    So, I have re-installed itch on lion... Still has the same problem with lion.
    I have restored a copy of snow to the partioned hard drive of my Mac Pro 2008 from my white macbook 2006. This seems to be the only way to do this if i want snow on my Mac Pro 2008 since it won't boot Snow from disc or USB. Installed a new copy of itch, still the same problem.
    So my question is this.... Is it hardware or software?
    And to stop those from putting the obvious, I have done all the PVRAM, SMC etc resets!! I am not some 12yr old trying to make daddys computer work again because i used it like i shouldn't have. Im looking for something besides the obvious!
    Sorry, but I felt the entire story needed to be told in order to get the responses I'm looking for....
    And thanks for taking the time to read about my issues! Hopefully someone can point me in the direction I need to go to get this to stop doing what it's doing. I will be more than happy to answer any and all questions concerning this issue as best I can.

    The heat generated may be a function of what you are doing on the Internet.   Watching videos will stress the CPU/GPU and create heat and result in faster fan speeds.
    First try a SMC and PRAM resets:
