Network ping rating much higher on iphone than on macbook pro??

Hi I' wondering why my iphone has a ping of 140 while on my macbook and mac pro it's 44?
anyone any ideas

Mac OS X 10.9.1 has fixed the problem for me.
Pixelation is gone.
The delay between mouse/keyboard input and display is noticible but manageable.
Streaming video works well (with audio / video just a tiny bit out of sync).

  • Another one with much higher BB usage than normal

    Hi,
    This is probably going to sound familiar to lots of people, but we also are recording much higher BB usage than normal. We are only on the 10gb package, as our max 512kb broadband doesn't make it worthwhile trying to do much with the www.
    Our usage is usually pretty close to the 10gb, and in fact we have probably gone over it 3 or 4 times in the last 2 years (I work away a lot, so Skype gets hammered, which I know could be up to about 350mb/hour). Our average usage has been 9.87gb according to BT. I was home at the end of June, and decided to reactivate BT FON, and my wife and I also installed the Smarttalk app. Now, halfway through July, we are already up at over 7gb used.
    The warning e-mail for 6gb used was last night, the usage monitor is already showing over 7gb - that is a heck of a lot of broadband usage for a property with such a slow connection. I have tried tackling BT in the past, and got absolutely nowhere, being told that although they could give me details of the previous weeks usage, they couldn't go back any further because that informaton was unavailable - unsatisfactory response, but that was all I could get.
    Obviously BT are saying we could always go unlimited, but I'd rather find out what the issue is and why this sudden increase - we aren't using that much internet.

    Don't wish to hi-jack your post but how can BT be tackeled?
    It's hard to keep a daily check, I would say impossible!

  • When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly.  Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal.  In mixed mode it works fine.  Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working?

    Thanks, W

    I'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
    The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
    The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
    In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
    If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster.

  • Bluetooth from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro not working?

    I am having (seemingly) bluetooth connection issues with "some" devices to my MacBook Pro.  I note:
    * Mouse pairs fine
    * iPhone 3GS does not remain connected (focus of this forum question)
    Error - after pairing my iPhone 3GS to my MBP I get an error:
    The Bluetooth Network is Unavailable
    There was an error connecting your device.  Make sure the device is turned on and in range.
    Notes:
    * MacBook Pro details:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D50b)
    Background: Ultimately interested in teethering my iPhone 3G data connection to my MacBook Pro, but for the moment the bluetooth connection won't even remain in place.

    nothing in these articles helped unfortunately - some more clarification:
    tethering via USB from iPhone 3G to MacBook Pro => WORKS
    tethering via Bluetooth => does NOT work, with bluetooth connectioning not staying up
    During pairing process:
    devices "see each other"
    pairing appears to work, then you see that the connection drops out directly afterwards (almost immediately)
    on iPhone message = "Connection Unsuccessful - XXX's MacBook Pro is not supported"
    on MacBook - it's just the connection in Bluetooth options shows up as not connected
    in /var/log/system I see some bluetooth related lines:
    Apr 18 19:33:14 Gregs-MacBook-Pro bnepd[18950]: [IOBluetoothDevice instantiateChannel] BluetoothHCIAuthenticationRequested failed (0x0006), so retry

    Apr 18 19:33:53 Gregs-MacBook-Pro blued[22]: Removing Bluetooth configured device: 00-26-08-23-23-9d
    Any other ideas?  Is it a physical problem with my MBP?  but then again my bluetooth mouse stays connected ok.  And in terms of the iPhone well it tethers fine to the iPad via bluetooth....

  • How do I get my photos off my iPhone onto my MacBook Pro

    I just got a Mac book pro and want to put all the photos from my iPhone 5 onto my computer. What's the easiest and fastest way to do this? If it's iCloud/photo stream please give instructions because I tried that way and only 27 of my 600 photos and videos loaded. Thanks so much for your help and time

    Connect your iPhone to your MacBook Pro and start iPhoto or Image capture. Either application will recognize your iPhone as a camera and allow you to copy photos in your Camera Roll to the MacBook Pro.

  • Cannot upload any images from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro. Please help!

    Hi all,
    I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
    This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
    iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
    Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
    Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
    Thank you!

    Just to double check you tried everything see if this link helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • HT201317 how do I automatically stream my videos from iPhone to my macbook pro?

    how do I automatically stream my videos from iPhone to my macbook pro?

    You may consider doing that, it largely depends on what you want the movie for once you have it on your Mac, sending it to YouTube is likely to cause it to lose much of its quality.

    Hey 1Jerry,
    Thanks for the question. You'll want to delete and re-add your iCloud account (utilizing the new Apple ID address). When prompted, opt to keep as much information on your device as possible. The following article provides information on how to do so:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can't pair iPhone 5s with Macbook Pro via Bluetooth

    I have an iPhone 5s and Macbook Pro with retina display (running on iOS 8.0.2 and Yosemite respectively). For some reason, my iPhone can never see my MBPr but the MBPr can see the iPhone. Pressing the "Pair" button on in the Bluetooth setting panel in OS X will trigger the pairing confirmation to show up on my iPhone. After confirming the pair request, the devices remain connected for no more than 2 seconds. Then they just disconnect. (The status is "Not connected" underneath my iPhone on the Devices list in OS X)
    This has been bugging me for a while, even before I upgraded to iOS 8 and Yosemite. I was hoping the upgrade will solve the issue but apparently not. My iPad  on the other hand has no problem in connecting and remaining connected to my MBPr. That's just baffling.
    Just some context: the reason why I wanted to connect my MBPr and my iPhone via Bluetooth is because I want to use my my iPhone as the hotspot. Yes, I can use the USB cable, but can't blame me for trying the wireless route (And no, connecting via wifi doesn't  work)
    Any help is appreciated!

  • Why does v31.0 claim that it requires High Perf GPU on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS?

    According to Activity Monitor, a utility that is part of Mavericks, Thunderbird requires the High Performance GPU on my MacBook Pro - it's the only program I run all the time that does. I think this is a new problem with this version and suspect it is a cause of increased battery drain.

    Thank you. I've been through the steps, my memory usage appears to be quite normal. There was a suggestion to try a beta version but the only betas I can find are all older than the current version I have.
    I also run Firefox 31.0 (with similar add-ons) and that does not exhibit the GPU problem at all.
    The bug appears to be raised here: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689742 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689742] . It starts life as an issue on OS X and turns into a fix for Windows. If it is the issue I'm seeing It doesn't fix OS X.

  • How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
    You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

    There are separate Bluetooth apps available.
    An app cannot add Bluetooth profiles that iOS does not have.
    OK, that's it then ... no Bluetooth possible in this particular case!

  • Synced iphone with my macbook pro, can find the voice memos, help!!

    i synced my iphone with my macbook pro, checked the voice memos option and after syncing was complete (it backed up iphone in the process), i didn't see any new playlist called voice memos on my itunes!! did i lose my voice memos? where did they go? i didn't delete anything from either the phone or the computer.TIA!! on the phone, i don't see the memos too!! anyone has any idea?

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
    To Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
    1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
    2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
    3. Select the Music tab.
    4. Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

    I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?

    iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.
