I note with irony how you will see that someone tried to contact me...but that isn't the case. I contacted them. By phone because that was what the "Chat" customer service person told me to do. This is classic case of one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. When I do get a live person on the phone ....Basically....verizon says there is a "line problem" and I wait for three days and the speed gets better for about a week, and then the speed drops off.
They can't deliver what I am paying for. I don't have a phone, I pay for high speed internet because FIOS is unavailable. Currently as I type this....speed test says I am .9/.27...the modem tells me 1.5/.4 but it drops as well. What is the issue, Verizon?
In addition someone on Verizon's end says...someone will call you in a few hours...which never happens. Never. More like in a day or two. If that.  
Buyers beware....beware,,,

    I download a lot using firefox mozilla and after a few hours, the downloads that are set in queue fail to download and I have to reset the same by going to the site and downloading the same again. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Try to use an external download manager.<br />
    Such programs usually have more options when it comes to downloading a lot of files.
    You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.

  • Why does my screen turns black and I have to reset the phone to make it work?

    My phone is fully charged when suddenly the screen turns black it doesnt matter if I push the buttons the screen still is black, I have to reset the phone to make it work. When the screen is black and if you call you can hear is ringing but my phone does not sound.
    I had a bad experience with this phone, to tell you the truth I dont even want it anymore, I have other apple products and they are excellent and had worked fine but the iphone is a dissapointment to me.

    Go to an Apple store.

  • My MacBook2,1 10.6.8 has been running very slow and I have tried all the basics but what else can I try to help speed it up?

    My Macbook is running so slow like it drives me crazy, it freezes up a lot either on the internet or offline as well. I Have a  MacBook2,1 Intel Core 2 Duo processor speed 2.16 GHz. The hard drive has 160.04GB with 16.34GB available  and the RAM  is1GB  DDR2 SDRAM 667MHr. I have tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions, I deleted a bunch of apps, I've done other maintenance and I don't know what else to do. I would really appreciate anyone that could  help me figure what to do or show me where to go to fi d out what to do. 

    You might consider upgrading the RAM. 1GB is the bare minimum to run Mac OS X 10.6.8. See this page for RAM information for your Mac: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.16-whit e-13-mid-2007-specs.html.
    You are also running low on free disk space, so consider moving files over to an external drive or delete files you no longer need.
    Also, please explain what "done other maintenance" involves.

    my computer is very slow I have 98mbps to the modem but when i run a ping test on the machine i get 20 mbps and sometimes it is .10 mbps- do i need to upgrade my wireless modem on the machine? what can i do?

    used speed test and got 20 mbps, tested the modem and got the 98mbps...something weird as my system just stops and will not load to sites like google and yahoo but will always respond to sites like CNN...does this mean anything?

  • TS1383 the battery  on my ipod is out of power and i have plugged it into the adapter and the charging screen is not on and in fact there is nothing but a blan unlit screen any thoughts

    the battery on my ipod is out of power and i have plugged in the power adapter and there is no screen message in fact the screen is unlit and blank  any thoughts

    I assume knowing shows on the display at all? How long have you left it to charge?  It can take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to show any signs of life and even then it sometimes still requires a hard reset of the iPod to get it to boot up.
    Otherwise, tr a reset. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

  • Broadband noise/ drop out/ speed issues

    Am starting a new post because last one has become too long. See http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Broadband-dropping-out-noise-high-speed-slow/m... if you would like the history.
    Here is the summary.  Long distance from the exchange.  Noisy line.  Speed low.  I have tried all the usual things many times.  Broadband engineers have been out x3 recently and confirmed that they can't detect any problems inside my house, or with the line coming into my house - although my hub typically shows a high noise margin.  Nevertheless, engineer swapped my line onto a new cable in the cabinet yesterday because he couldn't think of anything else to try.  He also replaced my HH3.  This morning noise had been reset very low, line speed coming into the house was high (for me), I was happily waiting for IP profile to drift upwards.  The readings from this morning are in the link above.  It was all looking good.
    And then this is what happens (and I think it may be exactly what's happened before).  Come about 5pm, at time of busy traffic, the line (I think, I'm not a techie) with low noise margin decides it can't cope.  It drops out.  I have to reset hub to get back on the internet.  It comes back with higher noise and slower downstream line speed.
    Any ideas out there?  Please try and avoid the standard usual stuff because I've done it all before.  Readings to follow.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is what my hub was showing around 5pm when internet dropped out.  Notice very low noise.  Me thinking my line can't cope with that, hence drop out.  Me predicting line will come back with higher noise and slower downstream line speed.  Process will repeat over the next week until noise margin is incredibly high, speed is very low (that's my prediction anyway).  Here's the reading from when the line dropped out.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

    why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

    Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
    1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
    2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
    If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
    3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
    There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
    4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.
