My new mac mini download apple updates v slowly (95kb). Any ideas why?

I have fast fibre broadband so everything else downloads at 38mb. I don't understand why apple updates download at 95kb. Does anyone know why? Is there a setting I need to change?

There are no setting to change. Either the Apple servers or slow or for some reason there is slowness in the thostos download path on the internet

In Office 2011 the function "share it by e-mail" seems to be disabled. that happened recently, just after the apple update regarding Java. Any idea on how enable this function again?

I was able to get to a support person who helped me fix this without charge. I guess it was my bad for not trying the right way to access support.
Anyway, they answer is this.
I had to create a new account on my computer. When I logged into the new account it immediately wanted an AppleID. I used my daughter's e-mail address for the AppleID. This setup the internet accounts correctly with her iCloud.com e-mail address. I was then able to access e-mail in both the browser and Mail. Not that complicated but nothing that I would have easily thought up on my own.
Thank Apple Support!

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

My new mac mini downloaded a firmware update. I saw this in apps but gave an error when launching. Now what?

Yesterday I received a new mac mini (actually, a refurbished one that was originally released in July, sold from Apple). It downloaded a bunch of stuff when I did the software update, including an EFI Firmware update for the mac mini.
As far as I can tell everything ran just fine. However, I noticed in my applications folder (possibly under "utilities" though I may be wrong), an item with the circle/slash through it. It was the firmware update. I tried to open it and I received a message that the application could not be opened because of a problem when downloading it.
I deleted the file, hoping the software update would catch it again, no luck.
This is a new system and I'm hesitant to start deleting receipts, library files, etc., on my own.
I did unplug it and re-boot. No change.
I checked for firmware updates and looked at my system info and it looks like I have the current version.
I tried to manually download the latest firmware update for my system and it told me that this software wasn't for my system, although I'm sure I downloaded the right file for my system.
Why would that app have the circle/slash through it but looked like it may have run based on my system info?
Should I do anything else at this point or just leave it alone?
Thanks.

I have a Mac Mini (mid-2011) with that same app circled out. I just left it as is in Utilities since I have no idea what it is and it's not hurting anything. Unfortunately, it won't show up in Installed Software.
You said you deleted the app file from Utilities. Is the Mac mini EFI Firmware Update.app still in your Trash? If so, why not just put it back and not worry about it?
As far as I know the firmware is installed. Check your System info by clicking  -> About This Mac -> More Info....-> System Report. Check the Hardware Overview and the Boot ROM Version:. It should be the same as my Mac Mini below if the EFI 1.3 firmware was installed.
Here's the link where the download resides. Note that it's for mid-2011 Mac Mini.

New Mac Mini and Apple Cinema Display

I have just upgraded my Mac (G5 PowerMac) to a new Mac Mini. I am still using my Apple Cinema display - but I cannot not play all the purchased movies that I have on iTunes now...????

Greg,
Are these movies HD? If they are, you might be having a problem with HDCP which is copy protection that won't let you view movies if all of your equipment is not HDCP compliant, which probably is your Cinema display. I also have a late 2012 Mac mini with an older Apple 20" Cinema display and cannot watch HD itunes movies. You will have to watch in standard definition. Of course you might have a different problem, but your question seemed similar with my situation. What is strange is that you were able to watch from your G5 Powermac. Maybe the power PC chip allowed viewing as opposed to intel chips, which I think intel created HDCP. Somebody on these boards probably has better answers then me ;-)

New Mac Mini / DVI / Apple 17" Studio Display

Greetings all.
I am contemplating purchasing new Mac Mini.
Currently using Mac mini / DVI adapter/ older Apple 17" studio display.
I do not intend monitor change at present.
Question is, which display adapter would allow me to use older DVI adapter/Apple 17" studio display?
Thanks for you time, looking forward to your response.
Regards,
TrevorB

New Mac Mini + 30" Apple Display = 1280x800??

I'm a long time Apple user and Apple developer. So I just bought a new Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) assuming, perhaps foolishly, it would simply plug into my Apple 30" display and I'd be able to get native resolution.
Unfortunately, 10.6.1 on the Mini only lists 1280x800 as the highest available resolution and it's not clear I have any options. Searching this forum only leads to hundreds of hits of every kind of display problem imaginable, and I frankly am pretty disappointed from using two relatively brand new Apple products together, only to get what feels like a PC experience.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Thanks for the assistance guys. Yes, upon closer inspection of the info of a DVI dual link adapter is there, but then again I wasn't expecting a DVI device that plugs into a DVI socket to NOT work for two Apple products. What also threw me is that since my main machine is a MBP from two years ago (with the built-in dual link), I wasn't thinking about that stuff. Also, after reading the reviews for the DVI dual link adapter, I'm not sure I even want to go that route--there's some BAD stories there, ugh.
Sigh, I guess "it just works" is reserved for their ad campaigns these days.
Anyway, thanks again guys.

I can't install iO6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS6. Any ideas why? Thanks

Hi,
I can't seem to install iOS 6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots off my phone and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS 6. Any ideas why?
Thanks

9.2.3 is not compatible with Mavericks. You'll need to go to the App Store and download the iPhyoto 9.5 version. It will be free. Move your current iPhoto version to the Trash bin and try the App Store again.

First generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery, any idea why?

Hi,
My first generation Mac pro booted into utilities and HD recovery when I restared after installing Autodesk sketchbook pro. This isnt the first time this has happened but last time I was not trying to install any software. Fortunatly, I have time machine backups and therefore have managed to recover the HD to a recent date and I intend to do a complete system check when it has finished. The first time this happened I didnt think much of it but now it has happened a second time i'm becoming a little concerned, any idea why this has happened?

I did this the first time it happened so I know that its not that i have the wrong startup disk selected. However, after the recovery had completed I tried the installation again and this time everything went smootly. so as of right now I dont have a problem. Thank you very much for your time and help.

New Mac Pro 6.1 slow for some tasks, any ideas?

May new Mac Pro 6.1 (6 core, 64 GB RAM, D700's) is running very slow for 2 specific tasks.
OS X 10.9.3 PS CC 14.2.1
Open Canon 5D3 Camera Raw files takes 30 seconds.
Smart Sharpen 5D3 file takes 75 seconds.
That is WAY slower than my 6 year old Mac Pro 3.1!
Everything else runs quickly and efficiently on the 6.1, but it almost freezes during these 2 tasks. Not good! As a photographer who processes hundreds of 5D3 RAW files at a time this is a big problem for me.
I found this article explaing issues with the graphics;
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2014/20140308_1-Photoshop-sharpening-speed.html
However my performance is way worse than reported here.
I hope to find a solution...

Thanks for your input Noel.
I have unchecked Use Graphics Processor and the time for opening a RAW file remains around 30 seconds and to smart sharpen is now 100 seconds (up from 75).
In the activity monitor, I get between 500 and 600% use of the processors when opening RAW and 800% during sharpening.
A few seconds after clicking open in ACR, I get a dialogue box with the blue bar almost complete for a fraction of a second, then it disappears and another box appears (half the hight of the first one) and starts with only a small part completed, then takes it 30 seconds to finish. It's like it tried to open in a normal way and failed, then another very slow backup process took over.
In the top righ corner of the Smart Sharpen dialogue box, I tried selecting "Use Legacy", then it sharpens in about 3 seconds!
Also of note, when opening a RAW file or smart sharpening, the computer becomes very slow and unresponsive, even to get mail or surf the internet. Even streaming radio in iTunes cuts in and out or cuts out completely. As if the entire system is overwhelmed. Despite having 2 or 3 cores unused and at least 40 GB of unused RAM.
Not what I was expecting from a very expensive upgrade in the hopes of cutting down the amount of computer time per image file!

Mac Mail not receiving all of my mail -- any ideas why not or how to fix?

My Mac Mail is my main work account -- I'm a freelancer & work from home. In the past month or so, about 4 work contacts have asked me why I haven't responded to emails I never received, which leads me to wonder how many other emails I haven't received. I don't care as much about dropped personal ones, but dropped work emails are a serious bummer.
Any idea how I can check what's going on or fix somehow? Not sure whether this is a Mac Mail issue or something else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could this have something to do with it?

When I try to connect a monitor with a thunderbolt to hdmi from the back of my thunderbolt monitor nothing happens. When I plug in the cable directly to my Mac mini it works great... Any idea this isn't working?

Well pretty much the title sums it up, but I'm required to type something here so here is some words. (Please excuse frantically errors since I'm working from my phone).

You can't connect a non-Thunderbolt display or adapter directly to the port on the back of a Thunderbolt display. It will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the two displays.

HT4623 I can't update my iPad. I have the 5.1.1 software but it won't give me the option to update to ios7. Any ideas why?

How do I update to ios7 if my iPad isn't giving me the option?!?

If it's a first generation iPad, it can't be updated past 5.1.1. Otherwise, check again when Apple's servers aren't as busy.

My iPad mini keeps on rebooting on its own, any idea why?

my iPad mini started rebooting on its own about a few days ago.
it keeps on doing this after I use it for a little bit.
sometimes it is a few minutes, other times it may be after a while.
sometimes it happens when I just open the cover .

Checked and I bought it last October, so it is under warranty.
Chatted with Apple support and they asked me to restore to factory defaults.
Spent 40 minutes restore it to factory defaults and it still does it.
They made me an appointment for store tomorrow and if they can confirm it, they will most likely replace the unit.
I am glad it is under warranty, but it was very close to one year.
Hopefully this does not happen again in another year.
It seems to happen a lot when i use the cover.
So....is this a reoccuring problem with the magnetic cover switch???

Menu works on Mac but not in DVD player...any idea why?

I created a DVD using IDVD6. The burn process, etc. seemed to go fine. When I stick the DVD in the DVD player, the menu does come up but I am only allowed to press play. I am not able to click to the other button (scene selection), however I am able to if I play the DVD on the Mac.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Nevermind. Figured it out. It was my darn DVD player remote control!!!! Ugh.
