Mavericks broadband problems

Since installing mavericks 10.9.1 my broadband connection has become very intermittient, Any ideas?

How are you connected - wifi or ethernet? In what way intermittent - slow, dropping connections?
If you are running any anti-virus software that seems to cause problems for some running Mavericks, particularly Avast - based on reports on here.

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise?  During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU 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 DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, 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.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    CS6 ist kein Problem auf Maverick. Alle Produktaktualisierungen solltest Du auch installieren.

  • I have 2006 MacBookPro running Mountain Lion.  Would like to install Maverick, any problems?

    I have a MacBook Pro I got in Dec. 2006.  Have Mountain Lion installed.  Some new apps require Maverick, any problems, like slowness, etc installing Maverick?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    If you are running Mountain Lion, you don't have a 2006 Macbook Pro. If you are running 10.8, then you can run Yosemite.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher

  • Ongoing phone and broadband problems

    I have wrote below about my ongoing problems with BT. I am going to use this thread as a record and to refer others to because if I have to go over it one more time I fear my brain will melt. Advice appreciated.
    Four months ago: Possibly/probably unrelated? I tried to make a phone call one day. The line was dead. Borrowed neighbour's phone as I thought I had a problem with the phone set itself but the line was dead with the neighbour's phone. The problem only lasted about a day. A few days later a BT engineer turned up. Installed a new face-plate over my phone socket.
    Three months ago: I've had a broadband speed of 20 megabit for about 18 months. Then 3 months ago that speed starts to get lower. First to 8 megabit. Then 4 megabit. I remember one day doing 5 different speedtests* and getting just over 1 megabit on all 5. That's not the only problem. Whenever I get an incoming call or make an outgoing call my broadband is disconnected. This is happening 100% of the time and is still happening.
    Two months ago: Phoned BT. After about 80 minutes on the phone I'm told it looks like the problem is our (BT) end. I was told I would receive a phone call the next day. I got that phone call and was told my connection would be back to 20 megabit in a couple of days. It never happened. Even as I was being told my connection would be back to 20 megabit in a couple of days I didn't have any faith in what I was being told. Maybe just something in the tone of the person I was speaking to gave me that feeling.
    A few weeks ago. Some Scottish guy from BT calls me trying to sell BT Vision. I said 'no' and took the chance to tell the guy of my ongoing problems.
    Background info: I have been at my current address and had a BT account for about 10 years. I just need to drop back maybe 4-5 years now when I was told by BT, over the phone, that I would be receiving a BT Home Hub (BTHH). I didn't ask for it. I already had a Netgear modem/router. That BTHH never turned up. I wasn't really annoyed about not getting a BTHH. I was angry that I didn't get a letter/phone call explaining why. Then about a year later I was on the phone to BT and mentioned that I had been told that I would receive a BTHH but it never turned up. This time I was 'promised' that I would receive a BTHH. Again it (BTHH) or a letter/phone call explaining why it wasn't being sent never happened.
    Back to the BT Scottish guy I told the Scottish guy about my lack of a BTHH and finally I get an answer. Apparently I need a 12 month contract. I told him I couldn't commit to a 12 month contract right now as recently I have taken a dip in my income. One morning a few days later and a BTHH arrives from the postman. I unpack it but just before plugging it in I remember the phone call with the Scottish guy and so I just put the BTHH away in a cupboard where it still is. Plugging it in would mean committing to a 12 month contract.
    I've now learnt this morning from BT that apparently I have committed to a 12 month contract early September which would be around the time of the Scottish BT guy phone call. Clearly there's been some mis-communication between the Scottish guy and myself.
    23 September In an attempt at trying a different route to solve my problems I put in a complaint. It turned out to be quite a wall of text which I hate giving to anybody but there's so much to go over. By the way since 20th September my download speed is 0.25 megabit. My upload is faster!
    29 September I received a phone call from BT and the person that phoned started to tackle my broadband issues. By this time I'm seriously thinking of putting in a complaint about how complaints are dealt with. Basically in that 23rd Sept. email I went over everything which I'm telling you guys about now. I also told them that I understood a 12 month contract, which I couldn't commit to, was needed for the BTHH but as I have one sitting idle in a cupboard here at home and I've been with BT for at least 10 years and I've been told (promised) that I would receive a BTHH twice over the years (when I didn't even ask for one!) then how about letting me have it. Or at least plugging it in to see if that resolves the problems as that might even save BT having to send out an engineer.
    30 September The lady I spoke to on the 29th told me somebody would phone the next day. By now I have deja-vu of what happened two months back. I got the phone call earlier which was how I found out that apparently I committed to a 12 month contract early September. The guy said I should probably speak to accounts first so I'm waiting for a call from them now.
    This has all turned into a convoluted mess that could of been solved two months ago. I have a BTHH which I can't use but which might solve my problem (although if it does I don't understand why as my Netgear modem/router does work). I'm very tempted to switch providers but maybe my problem still needs to be looked at by BT even if I was with another provider? My bill is now overdue and whilst I can't commit to a 12 month contract I do have the money for the latest bill. But would you pay for an internet of 0.25 megabit which should be 20 megabit? Or a phone that dis-connects your broadband.
    The overall annoying thing about this is how my email complaint was handled. The complaint(s) need to be tackled as a whole. I have a couple of friends and have read many stories of people phoning BT and then after complaining they get some deals. Now whoever read my complaint, and I have a copy which I can provide, should of seen that I'm clearly 'in limbo' so to speak and said either 'keep the BTHH' or 'we may need you to send the BTHH back but for now try connecting it up to see if that resolves the problems'. Instead it looks like my email was read and then passed onto the broadband department. The lady who phoned on the 29th thought I was using the BTHH even though she had my email in front of her. I know that as she quoted a couple of lines from it. The guy who phoned this morning also thought I was using the BTHH.
    All that's needed now is for BT to dis-connect me for an unpaid bill! I personally feel that I should get some compensation for such a poor connection over the last 4 months.
    For all speed tests I used the BT wholesale one apart from*

    Here's some screengrabs from BT wholesale taken at various times.
    After that a couple of screens from my Netgear taken today.
    I did run Routerstats Lite over a few days when this started. However I don't know what to look for in Routerstats which might be the problem.

  • Slow Mavericks and problem system launch daemons

    Like some other users here I've experienced a big slowdown since installing Mavericks.
    I ran EtreCheck (good app!) and I see that I have several failed Apple daemons. I don't know what they do but I guess this is not a good thing. 
    Can anybody shed any light on these failed daemons and what I can do to fix them?  Are they likely to be part of the slow running problem?
    cheers all!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, andIdle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • A persistent Broadband problem

    Dear BT,
    Posted this earlier in another thread, thought I would start fresh thread for this, as my post was conflicting with another customers post.
    I have been experiencing chronically poor Broadband speed since around mid December last year, and I can’t get the problem resolved.
    It is extremely frustrating. My Download Speed is for the most part around 136 kbps, though the upload speed is stable at around 250kbps, what ever my very varible download speed happens to be.
    I have had numerous visits from ‘OpenReach’ since I first reported the problem back in December last year. When the first engineer called, ironically the speed had improved and I was getting a download speed of around 600 kbps. He tested the line and said it was good and could find no problems.
    The improvement continued for a couple of day, then the speed gradually reduced back to a very poor state of around 136kbps. At this stage I did notice intermittent phone line noise, this would come and go, completely clear some days, then another day it would be very bad. In my opinion the weather conditions were not to blame as the intermittent line interference continued whatever the weather conditions, be it good or poor.
    Just before Easter I reported a line problem as a voice fault.
    Last Tuesday 6th April another engineer came to check noise on the phone line, frustratingly when he called the phone line was perfect and my Broadband speed and improved considerably. He found no problems with my line at all. For a couple of days the line was good, Broadband speed was between, 500kbps and 960 kbps.
    He did say intermittent faults were the worst to pin down, and he said it would be better if the line completely failed, then it would be easy to trace, the only problem with that, I could be waiting months or even years for the line to fail.
    Now again the speed has dropped out again, back to around 136kbps, there has been some slight interference on the line also. I am sure the noise is the cause, but frustratingly, each time I report it, the checks all say nothing is wrong with my line.
    I have done all the usual checks on my equipment. My rooter is not at fault, as I have changed it, changed filters and also changed my phone this week. I am completely at a loss what to do!!
    Also my rooter is connected directly in to the main BT box, so that rules out any internal wiring problems.
    My broadband package is BT Total Broadband Option 3, so I can access BT FON, but I am unsure of the rules regarding this service as an alternative. 
    I would be pleased if my ongoing problem could be finally resolved. Finally below is the latest speed test, taken around 11:30am today, 11th April 2010.
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 101 Kbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps. Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :160 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps 
    Regards
    Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, Chris, Roger, or anyone at BT,
    I am back, after doing all the above, I am sad to report that my Broadband speed has just gone form bad to worse.
    Below is a log over the last week or so.
    Broadband log
    · 14th tested voice line from BT test socket with filter and rooter: Line seems ok.
    14th April 2010: Plugged new BT filter and rooter directly in to BT test socket. No improvement of BB speed. Download speed = 120kbps. Can now hear a distinct background hiss on voice line now the router is active. Changed filters, (4 different types) no improvement. (Filter is installed correctly. )
    15th After 24 hours download speed improved to 640kbps. At around 16:00hrs, ASDL signal dropped out, 2 mins later when ASDLS signal re-connected, the download speed immediately dropped all the way back to 120kbps and stayed there for the rest of the day.
    · 16th: BB speed very poor all day, stuck at 136kbps, still continuous background hiss on voice line.
    · 17th: BB speed continues to be very poor, 120kbps, continues loud hiss on voice line.
    · 18th: BBs a consistently poor 136kbps. Background hiss continues.
    · 19th: ditto
    · 20th: ditto
    To day at 19:30 hrs, BST, voice line very bad, continuous interference, ASDL disconnecting continually. Obviously this noise on the line is the cause of the problem, but getting and engineer here when the line is bad, seems to be impossible, as every time one has called the interference goes away. Can anyone suggest where I go from here, because engineers have failed to correct my problem, see above posts, this has been going on now since last Early December last year. I am paying for a premium for a terrible BB and Telephone service.
    Regards
    Paul

  • Lightroom 5.3 into Mavericks import problem

    Hello,
    I'm stuck. Any help greatly appreciated. I'm struggling to import my image files from an external USB3 hard drive into Lightroom.
    I'm running Lightroom 5.3 on a slim late 2013 27 inch iMac, on Mavericks (OSX 10.9.1). The Processor is 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, with 24 GB of Ram. There's 3 TB of disc space on the iMac.
    I've chosen to Add a folder of 723 images to Lightroom's catalog and the first 200 thumbnails do import quickly. The progress bar then hangs at the message ' Import Files at their current location.' Eventually I click cancel and another 25 thumbs appear, leaving me a total of 225 instead of the full 723. I've repeated this operation several times and get the same results on the iMac.
    I then plugged the same external drive of photos into my eight year old Mac Book Pro running Lightroom 5.2 on Lion (10.8.5) and the 723 files imported fine.
    I've tried trashing Lightroom 5.3's preferences on the iMac, but no improvement.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have thousands of shots I'd like to work with on the iMac's large screen, but I'm still stuck with using my old laptop's small screen for now.
    Cheers,
    George

    I am using a (new) Pegasus2 R6 formatted as RAID10.
    I have also seemingly isolated the problem to LR5.3; I just got an older macbookpro (late 2012) which happened to have LR 5.0 - with this I opened the LR catalogue on the Pegasus (the empty catalogue created by LR 5.3), and was immediately able to import photos and video. What is more the video previews are displaying and videos are running when double clicked - neither of which was working in 5.3
    It is a big import and preview build - when it completes I will reopen the catalogue on the newer MBP (Feb 2014 with LR 5.3) and report on whether the videos work.
    UPDATE: I can now say that the files imported by LR5.0 run fine in LR5.3 - I just can't import the files directly into 5.3. Import from camera works fine. The files I am trying to import are all 'Saved with metadata' from a PC version of LR5.3

  • Mavericks upgrade problems - download hanging

    Seeking help with curious problem. I've been trying, unsuccessfully so far, to upgrade a mac mini to Mavericks from OS 10.7.5 (Mid 2011, 2.7 GHz Core i7, 8 GB RAM). Download starts and proceeds  slowly but ultimately stalls at 1.01 GB downloaded or about 20% of the way into the total download size (5.30 GB). I delete the hung download/start of install out of Launchpad and start again at the app store but the process simply repeats - it starts off well but stops at 1.01 GB downloaded. Most vexing.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Zenurgist

    the 1.01GB limit is an issue with 2-Wire or BT HomeHub routers.  It is either 995Mb or 1.01Gb limits.  The workaround is to go somewhere else that doesn't use these routers.

  • Mavericks RDX problem and solution?

    Quite  not sure what happened but i observed a problem using RDX media catridges in FCP before. With Mavericks a new error dialogue appared:
    "Der Speicherort „VideoRAW_2“ auf diesem Computer wird bereits von „(null)“ auf „(null)“ verwendet. Um Zugriff auf den Speicherort zu erhalten, beenden Sie Final Cut Pro auf „(null)“ oder entfernen Sie den Speicherort. "
    This message appeared permanently after each start of FCPX.
    Google translate traslates this into:
    "The location "VideoRAW_2" on this computer is already used by "(null)" to "(null)". To get access to the location you quit Final Cut Pro to "(null)" or remove the location."
    "VideoRAW_2" is the name of the used RDX Catridge. Renaming the Catridge to "Videoplatte_2" solved this problem for me and the volume appears in the Volume List. Rerenaming this to "VideoRAW_2" does not bring the error message again.
    So my question is combined:
    First of all: I qould like to ask if somebody also has observed such behaviour?
    Was the simple renaming the solution itself and forced the databased to actualise?  
    Are there any other ideas? F.I. the RAW in the name of the media could have caused problems too?

    hi P S,
    No SAP system at the client will be error free or problem free.
    the problems comes up mostly because of the human errors.
    during the configuration, there wont be much problems but the main problems comes up in the testing phase. in this stage your configured system should give you output as per your requirement.
    during the production support, particularly in payroll the payslips will be wrongly printed. the main reason for this is the incorrect entry of master data. so the user has to be careful when entering the data.
    there may be problems in the posting of the payroll results to FI.
    at the year-end, there can be some issues in the adjustments of the amount.
    in this way, there are lot of issues which comes up during the use of the system.
    regards,

  • Upgrading to Maverick causing problems

    I recently upgraded my operating system to Maverick.

  • Mavericks install problems - repeatable

    I have attempted to install Mavericks on my iMac 7,1 twice now with the same result.  The software will download and install until the progress bar reaches one minute, at which point it may take 5-15 minutes to complete.  Following that the system reboots, I get the chime followed by the spinning progress wheel and then the boot hangs.  I'm left with an iMac at a white desktop with the Apple logo, I can go no further.  This has happened twice and my Time Machine backups have restored my machine both time.  I very hesitant to attempt again without understanding the problem.
    My machine configuration is:
    Model - 7,1 (20")
    OS 10.8.5
    RAM - 4 GB
    141/500 GB disk free
    Thank you,
    Bob

    I had this issue on a Mac mini. I chose to use the Recovey boot, restored my system a few times...rinse..repeat...
    At this point I ran Disk Utility instead of restoring my mac. I noticed that the Mavericks disk image was laoded, so I thought that I would try to boot holding down the OPTION key, and hope that the Mavericks disk appeared in the Starup Manager. It did. I chose to boot from the Mavericks disk, on the starup volume screen, and the install proceded without a hitch - all of my settings, files and programs were intact after the update to Mavericks.
    I am having Spotlight indexing issues now, but I see others are ahving the same problem, so I don't think it's related.
    Hope this helps.
