Optimised internet settings seems to have helped w...

Hi there, I am fairly new (10 days) to the infinity experience. 
When the engineer installed he showed me the stats from his test which showed I should get up to 77Mb/s download and about 20 up. over the past week this has been fairly consistent on the bt speed test site with the usual peak hour decreases.
However on the speedtest.net site I was never getting more than about 40-50 Mb/s download speeds. Until today when I ran the internet optimiser on the auslogic speed boost software. I usually down have much faith in these type of things but it looked at things like MTU and TCP stack settings. 
After running this I am now getting download speed readings in the 70-80 Mb/s on the speedtest.net website. 
So my advice is that if your speeds dont seem consistent between testers and web speeds seem sluggish then it is probably the settings on your PC. use a tool (or manually set if competent) to change these settings!

Thank you. I knew it was something simple.  I'm new to Mac, and perhaps stupid too.

  • SWF security settings seem to have no effect

    Here is the location to which I publish my Captivate 5 output.
    And here is how my flash security settings are configured. I've included the publishing location in the trusted locations collection.
    After publishing (html output option and swf option chosen) I runthe output in the Flash Player, by directly selecting the output swf, and are rewarded with this message.
    The published swf is self contained and does not call any external resource.
    The behaviour occurs every time the swf is opened, irrespective of the security settings. I've also ported the swf to a second machine, and the same there. I've also put the swf onto CD and run from there, and the same again. I've not tried it on an XP system so these results are only in the context of Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) systems. Flash Player is version 10.1 and publication output is set to Flash Player 9 or later.
    Is there another security setting somewhere I have to set as the output message is scary to a user and looks unprofessional to our clients. ???
    Henry

    Hi Rick,
    The spelling in the Flash message is the same as the trust setting although it does makes your eyes go wobblytrying  to decode it with all the %20 space codes in place. And of course the trust settings were set through the Flash Manager via the browse option so should have been the same.
    I think we have a problem with SWF output from Captivate 5, rationale as follows:
    1) I create an identical project in Captivate 4 generate a SWF, then taking the SWF produced by Captivate 4, I move it to the folder DB Pre-production and execute it directly, result - no warning message from Flash.
    2) I execute a SWF directly on the C Drive - say one of the pre-loaders from Adobe Captivate Gallery, result - no warning message from Flash.
    3) I execute the offending SWF via a browser (I.E.8 with no trust settings on the DB Pre-production folder), result - no warning message from Flash.
    4) I load a SWF from some other product into the DB Pre-production folder and execute it directly, result - no warning message from Flash.
    5) I copy and paste the file name settings directly from any Captivate 5 SWF produced object to Flash Security Settings manager - to ensure absolute spelling - close the browser, re-boot the system, and execute it directly from DB Pre-production, result - security warning message from Flash.
    I conclude that there is a glitch in the SWF output produced from Captivate 5.
    And maybe this is one of the reasons that Captivate 5 buttons that invoke other segments of learning don't function as expected (I can always get the window NEW feature to work, but PARENT, TOP and CURRENT options seem blocked). Whereas my old Captivate 4 buttons that do the same still work a treat. And all loaded from the same folder, using the same browser, and the same settings.
    And good idea though it is to use an .EXE projector our commercial clients, will not acccept any .exe file from an external source, in particular CD-rom.
    Should I report this as an issue? Or am I just travelling over well-worn ground?
    Best regards,
    Henry

  • Verizon internet customers seem to have issues with 1 game - Marvel Puzzle Quest

    There's a game , Marvel Puzzle Quest which had an update yesterday, and since then on load, it loses connection to the server after about 14-15 seconds.  Every single time.
    I have Verizon DSL, and other folks on the game's forum in Steam who have Verizon FIOS are all experiencing the same issues.
    Non-Verizon customers seem to be able to launch the game just fine.
    So I'm guessing the game update introduced something which runs afoul of Verizon's rules or something, and the connections get killed.
    Anyone have any clue?  
    The game seems to talk to these servers:
    23.21.90.83:443
    54.230.206.27:80
    108.168.211.134:80

    I just got off the phone with VZ wireless tech support on a separate issue I was having with my 4620L JetPack. After discussing that issue, I asked about Intranet data usage and whether or not it is considered part of the data plan usage because I had seen both yes and no opinions from online discussions on the subject. She checked with the IT department to be sure and said that no it does NOT count against the data plan as long as it does not use the Internet, i.e.,  the cell tower network. Last month I used my Apple TV to display quite a few photos from my MacBook Pro using the JetPack's wifi network and a couple of days later got a notice that I was about to exceed by monthly 10GB data budget. This hardly ever happens so I'm not entirely convinced there isn't at least some usage of the VZW network when doing local Intranet transfers. I plan to do some testing this month by checking my data plan usage before and after doing a lot of local photo transfers.
    Incidentally, I purchased a separate wireless router a while ago for just this reason and also because it has a stronger wifi signal than the JetPack so it's my backup plan in case local data transfer is in fact incurring any charges against my data plan.

  • No logic plug in settings seem to have installed...?

    hello kind and friendly list..
    so as I have mentioned elsewhere, I'm currently away from my real studio and needing to do some work moderately urgently. while waiting for a shiny new macbook pro to arrive which will make working a normal pleasant experience I hope, I'm botching together a workable logic system on my trusty email machine, a lovely (slow) PB 12"..
    anyway, I've installed logic, it's all fine. I then just had to clear out some space on my small internal drive to install the logic content package.. so, I was expecting that from this point things like ultrabeat, es2 etc would have all of their preset programs installed and ready to go.. however, nope, they come up virgin with nothing. I've looked in library/app support/logic/plug-in settings, and within the folders for things like ultrabeat, it shows nothing.
    hmm. I thought installing the content package would have put presets in here... ?
    is there are way to know where they have gone, or how to get logic to find them if they are indeed installed somewhere, or indeed how to install the friggin things so I can get on with it?
    I'm sure it will be OK on the macbook pro cos I'll be configuring a machine from scratch, doing the logic install and content all at once... but for now, I need to at least get some ultrabeat presets happening..
    any ideas?

    thanks jord, I figured it out... I thought all the settings would get installed when I ran the disc 2 content installer. but then I put in the main logic install disc and ran the installer again and noticed that in the 'customize' thingy, there was a logic pro sound library install that had not been run yet. then I remembered that when I had originally put logic on this machine, I'd skipped all that because I didn't have that much drive space left, and I was only installing a basic logic to do some simple recording. I never intended to try and use it fully on this PB 12" which is just my email, podcast-radio and download TV machine, as it really is not up to the task of running logic the way I need it..
    anyway, I selected only the remaining sound library files, installed, and hey presto all the settings are there. now all I need is for the macbook pro I ordered to show up so I can do this project I have to do properly and end the suffering of my beloved poor little PB 12", who will be thrilled to go back to playing downloaded episodes of southpark..
    thanks for your input anyway..

    Hello!
    Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2?  Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable?  Tried a different computer yet?  Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device.  I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this?  Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
    One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop.  This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time.  Keep me posted.

    You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
    Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
    Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
    Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

  • I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update. Help!

    I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update.
    All of the music is still on my computer, but when I play it through iTunes, it either buffers first (when I'm connected to the internet) or it is greyed out (offline) and I can't listen to it.
    This is beyond annoying. Is there anything I can do to sort this out?
    Cheers.

    Safari cannot open because the iPhone is not connected to internet.  I do not believe I have changed any settings.  I have turned off the phone and then on, but this did not work.  Help?

    For Safari to work, you need either Wi-Fi or cellular data.
    Are you connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot?
    If not is Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Mobile/Cellular Data: ON

  • My wifi will not turn on. The button is settings seems to be locked. I tried turning it on from the control panel, and also with Siri, but it still does not turn on in settings, so i cannot access wifi. Please help ASAP

    Wifi will not work. The button in settings seems to be locked. Tried control panel and siri to turn it on, doesnt work because the settings wont turn it on. Need help ASAP cause my data limit is approaching.

    If the battery was completely drained the iPad will not respond for some time after connecting it to the charger. Connect the iPad to the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait 30 minutes. Then reset the iPad.Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until it's battery shows fully charged. If the iPad still does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. Be sure to back up your device before taking or sending it to Apple.

  • Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

    Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
    When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
    However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
    I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
    Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
    Thanks in advance.

    Per Rysz' suggestion, configure accordingly:

    help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
