Moving to more rural house, speed/infinity questio...

We are moving to a village soon which has poor but not terrible internet at the moment, about 1/2mb d/l at best.
This will be my new exchange, you can just see my new village Fiskerton.
Infinity is due to be upgraded at that exchange in March next year, how accurate are BT usually with their estimations for these dates?
Even though the connection is currently not the greatest once Infinity is installed at that exchange, will it then be how far i am from a green box?
Is there a minimum for this, as in once its installed should i see a pretty decent increase in speed even though it might not be the full 40mb? Because i'm not right next door to the box, (i will be living in a small estate around the corner from the main road where i think the box is)
I'm tempted to order BT once i move in, in preparation for Infinity next year however, if the speed wont increase at all then there is no really much point is there?
Many thanks for any advice

they are estimates and if past is anything to go by then it is more likely to be later

it is the distance from the green roadside box but not all boxes will get a new infinity box next to it. if you do then at present your line test must show 15mb connection at least. by the time you get infinity there will be a package for <15mb

as above

I've got an apple 3TB time capsule. It was working fine until we moved to a new house. The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working. Now will not pick up signal. What happened what do I do?

What signal is it picking up? Are you joining wireless network? If so don't.. it is really poor way to run things.
Is it connected to a cable modem? Full router or just a modem type?
Try a reset?
Plug in via ethernet.. turn off everything.. wait 5min then restart cable modem.. if that doesn't work, give it a longer off cycle.. 15min or overnight.
We need more info.

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

I have a Macbook Pro (2013) OS 10.8.1. Moved into a university house and need to use ethernet cable. Bought the Thunderbold connection but when I try to use the ethernet with it a webpage comes up saying Wireless Setup? No idea what to do.

I have previously used ethernets in similar situations and never had to input information like this?

I have tried to turn of the wi-fi but that doesn't work either. I think it could be a something to do with the internet provider because virginmedia comes up on the webpage. This is what comes up:

Been for a walk and managed to find what I think is the cabinet. I actually found two. The first is about 3ft tall by about 4ft wide, dark green and looks like it's been there a while and the second is about 5ft tall by about 4ft wide, a lighter green, has air vents, sounds like it has a fan and looks like it's fairly new. The grass around it still hasn't grown back and it looks like the road near it has been dug up but only by about 1ft wide and 10ft long.
The cabinet is 0.45 or 0.42 miles, depending which route I take, from my house. So between 600 & 700m away assuming it follows the road. The direct distance is only 0.22 miles so about 330m.
Is it likely that the 6/700m is correct or do the lines tend to deviate much more than this thus increasing the distance? I was also wondering if there are any other factors I should consider. Eg I am on a small side road and upto a few years ago couldn't get broadaband. The road is only about 50yds long with 8 houses and this applied to all of us yet, everyone surrounding us including the first house at the top of our road could get broadband. BT said it was due to distance from exchange and the fact that the line took a 90 degree turn onto our road which caused the problem.
Thanks

House Move - Infinity not working

Hi, hopefully someone can help me.
We moved house on 12th June and using the BT home move asked to transfer our existing phone number and BT TV/ Infinity package with us. Prior to engineer coming to change numbers over we had a working broadband connection, after the engineers visit we now have the correct phone number but no broadband. I have been on the phone to BT several times each day since the move and although the people are very friendly and seem to want to help the problem hasn't been fixed. I wondered if there was something I could be checking or doing in the meantime to try and fix the issue.
TIA
Clare

How old is your Airport? It's not uncommon for a router to die after 5 years or so.

I can see exactly what your saying & in no way disagree.
I do think however the wording of the current BT television advertising campaign for Infinity requires modifying as these so called 'personalised estimates' gave me a completely different perception of a speed estimate.
When I received my personalised estimate of 80/20 sadly I actually believed this, maybe becuase I live very close to my FTTC cab, & was a little dissapointed after the installation to see I hadn't got what I was told by BT as a result of my 'personalised estimate'.
Im still happy with my download/upload speeds but am very dissapointed with ping/latency tests conducted through BT's fibre network.
Perhaps the words 'UpTo' should make a return to BT's advertising campaign.

Yes but I have had no reply, I have looked at some stuff and what seems to be common is its either a wireless issue which is not relevant to me as I use wired or being restricted by the router I do assume they are talking about the firewall which I have disabled. I have set up my DMZ again and enabled always use this ip address on the router to give my PS3 a static ip and left everything on my PS3 network settings all on auto. I hope it works.
What I have disabled on my Home Hub 4 is the firewall and upnp extended security in vain hope it opens my connection more, I have tried port forwarding but it does not seem to make a difference. I get moderate NAT on black ops 2 with port forwarding set and any other set up I do except with DMZ with either static or dhcp then I have open nat. So it could be the Home Hub 4. I am confused.

Does more RAM really speed up internet use??

I have an internet connection of medium speed and use my IMac for very basic uses: Google search, email, and general internet page viewing. Lately, it seems that pages load in 4-6 seconds completely and I see the dreaded spinning ball too often. I otherwise just use the basic Mac software provided, ie, IPhoto, ITunes, etc. Would adding more RAM help NOTICABLY the speed of loading pages??

Do you every empty your browser's cache? It's a good idea to do that daily, and also to close the browser and reopen it periodically. Browsers tend to eat CPU and can end up hogging most of it when they're been running for a while.
512 is about the minimum RAM yoo can get away with, adding another GB would speed things up noticeably. Make sure you get a lifetime warranty with the new memory, a good place to look is [macsales.com].

Moving to a rural area with no fibre

Is the apple airport time machine compatable with the osprey 2 my current set up is provided by Virgin media and the router is connected to my apple airport which my wifi signal is distributed through the house from (backs up my laptop automatically )
Thanks for any advice

Hi there
The only thing that might cause you trouble is if your workshop is over a month long. While using applications downloaded from Creative Cloud, internet access is required once a month for a routine license check. Here's a snipet from the Creative Cloud FAQ:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?
Because your Creative Suite applications are installed directly on your computer, you will not need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis. However, you will need to be online when you install and license your software, and at least once every 30 days thereafter. The software will alert you when you need to connect to the Internet for a license status check.
A quick note: if the product is unable to verify your license at the 30 day mark, a 7-day grace period will begin. However, if you are not able to access internet within those 7 days, your applications will be blocked (Soucre: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4513667#4513667)
Regarding your second question - as long as you are using the same device you already have your applications installed on, you'll still only have one device registered to your account.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to post here again.
Cheers!

Time capsule not working properly after moving to a new house

Hello,
I have a macbook pro and a refurbished time capsule 2tb. I purchased both in 2013 and the time capsule at that time was used as both a wireless router for our house and my back up.I recently moved and didn't have access to the time capsule for over a month. Once I settled into the new house I plugged the power cable and internet connection into the time capsule and assumed that automatically it would keep working. It appears that it is backing up my system as I can pull up the application and see appropriate in-time documents however it consistently has a slow orange light blinking. I am not currently using it as a router as we have xfinity and have a different router for the house and when I try to use the time machine instead it cannot connect.
My internet connection is fine and I would like to leave it as is. It also appears the back up function is working for my mac. The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine? It it because the ethernet cable is attached and can the time capsule work without this?
I have tried resetting the capsule with the 10seconds hold on the reset button etc as seen on other posts but the orange light remains.
Thoughts?
Thank you for your time and assistance,
ahahn063

The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine?
The amber light is like the "Check Engine" light in your car. It blinks for a reason......the Time Capsule has a message for you.
That message might be that there is a firmware update available for the Time Capsule that needs to be installed....or....that AirPort Utility has detected that the Time Capsule is not configured correctly to work with the Xfinity router that you are now using.
To see the message.....open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot
Then look for a Status setting, and click on the small amber dot there
A message will appear to tell you why the Time Capsule is whining, along with a suggested action to fix the issue.
If you are still having difficult, we for you to post back with the exact message that you see.

Will moving from Tiger to Leopard speed up or slow down my Dual 1.25GHz G4?

I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.4.11. If I upgrade to 10.5.8 (which I believe to be the final version of Leopard) do people feel that overall my Mac will run (& feel as if it's running) more quickly or more slowly?
My experience with Macs (17 years worth) tells me that, other things being equal, a newer OS normally slows down a given set of hardware. Also, according to the graphic on this page, the guts of Leopard appear to be very similar to Tiger. However I'm hoping against the odds that in this case Leopard might give me a speed boost.
I can't think of any features that Leopard has that Tiger doesn't that I'd like to use or that I feel I'm missing out on. It's just a possible speed boost I'm after, along with compatibility with the odd utility etc. that requires 10.5 or higher.
My main application usage at the moment is as follows: Microsoft Entourage 2008 (version 12.2.7) for email (although this may change - see my Topic here), Safari 4.1.3 for web browsing (& also occasionally Firefox 3.6.12), iTunes 9.2, QuickTime Player 7.6.4, and also more demanding creative software - primarily Adobe's Creative Suite CS2 (although I'll probably be upgrading to CS3 in the next few months) and occasionally things like Final Cut Pro 5.0.4.
Many thanks.

Leopard makes a few improvements in performance over Tiger especially in the graphics and video area. Otherwise you would not notice any changes in speed.

Does more iPhone memory speed processing?

Does buying an iPhone with more memory speed processing?

No, not really.
'Memory' or 'RAM' would allow more temporary storage for processing which could improve processing, however I think you are confusing memory with 'storage'.
Apple only offer the same memory capacity for each model but offer different 'storage' sizes.
More storage simply allows you to store more apps, music, photos etc on the device. You can't buy an iPhone or iPad with more memory, only the storage sizes differ.
