Paying For 30Mbs, But Only Getting 2Mbs

Hi Apple Discussions
I Have A Problem (I Think) With My Airport Extreme 802.11n, Right Now I Have Optimum Online Running At 30Mbs Download & 5Mbs Upload. But The Settings On The Airport Router Is Only Let Me Push Out 2Mbs, Then I Tried To Set It On 802.11n Only(2.4GHz) To See If I Could Get At Least 15-25Mbs. And The Router Doesn't Even Come Up???
So I Plugged Up My Mac Directly To The Cable Modem And Try To See What Type Of Speed I Could Get, And I Got Around 25Mbs D/L And 5Mbs U/L What It Should Be. Then I Tried To Put It On The Other Option 802.11n(802.11a Comp.) Without Security And The Router Still Doesn't Show, And One Of The Setting I Had Shown The Router But I Couldn't Connect To The Interent.
I Just Wanna Get The Speed That I'm Playing For, Thanks In Advance For Any Help...

I think your problem, if you indeed are using the iBook G4 you have listed in your specs, is that you are trying to connect an "N" network to an airport card (in the iBook) that only supports B and G. So, that explains why you won't see the network when you set it to N-only. You have to set it on the B/G mode only. Unless you upgrade to a new snazzy MacBook, or you find some N network USB dongle, you won't be able to connect to any N network with your current iBook configuration. Hope this helps a bit.

Paying for 20mb broadband only getting 6mb

Hi, this is my first post on this forum although i have had bt broadband for 5 years now.
I'd just like to know if i am getting the most out of what i am paying for. having done a speed test i am currently getting 6.08mb/s download and 0.34 mb/s upload according to speedtest web site with a ping of 41ms. My exchange is only 0.4 of a mile from my house and according to kitz.co.uk using there maximum adsl speed calculator with my downstream attenuation of 20db stats that i should get dslmax of 8128 kbps, adsl2+ 20256kbps and states my line length to be approx 1.4km.

What i do not understand is BE broadband say that i could get approx 16mb from my line. So is BT throttling my connection ? Over subscribed ?
I have done a check based on post code for my exchange and it states that it can support adsl2+
Can someone explain or check to see this is the maximum i can expect.

Are you seriously? Only 20 mb?? And you are getting 6 mb from them??? In my country there is no such thing as 20 mb broadband... Minimum 100 mb! And it is very cheap! In UK you must pay about 30 pounds/month for 18 months and you will get this **bleep** and in my country you would pay only about 10 pound/month with no contracts and you will get from 100 mb download speed!
No, really... It is UK! It is very developed country, but broadband... Even Africa has that kind of broadband... I really dissapointed about that I will never understand why it is so hard to you to make better broadband. Offer to some companies in my country to do that job! They will do that with pleasure! And after a half an year you will see a huge changes.

MX890 Having to spend $130 for ink but only getting 11-12 actually VIABLE prints, HELP?!?!

As the title topic says, I am somehow having to buy 130 bucks worth of ink but I only get 11 or 12 actually viable print outs!!! Specifically, I am printing custom DVD case art/covers for my video game library. Yet the only way to actually get the print outs (DVD case art) to equal the visual quality and color depth of the images displayed on my PC monitor is for me to set it to Photo print settings/presets with the Vivid colors box ticked which burns through ink LIKE FRICKIN' CRAZY. Hence why I keep having to buy new ink at an absurd frequency. Also I am having to print them on Ultra-Glossy photo paper because any other type such as matte, semi-gloss, or brochure paper comes out looking like the image had the contrast set to max of which muddles all of the damned colors down. I have included an example of how drastically different the end print outs become when I print one on the Photo presets with Vivid checked onto ultra high gloss paper and the other on any other preset. I dont know if this matters or not, but I am having to print the images through IrfanView image viewer due to the fact that any and all other image viewing programs never print out the ACTUAL SIZE of the image on the PC monitor while instead resizing the printed image on its own. The printer I am using is a Canon MX890 by the way. ANY help would be IMMENSELY appreciated!!

Hello.
The issue that you are experiencing may be related to the type of paper that you are using. Using a different type of paper may provide better results with your particular images.

Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

How to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

how to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

VGA and DVI do not carry sound. Only HDMI.
Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter. Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?

Hi,
I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade. Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone. I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration. Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password. Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app. All backup and integrated.
Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup. I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up. It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
A good nights work. Backup and integration all sewed up. Good luck.
Cheers
Ian

How do you upgrade OS X 10.4.11 tiger to a higher version of operating system such as OS x 10.5.6 as have tried running the upgrade disc on imac 5,1 with intel processor but only get message saying this cannot be installed with no further explanation ?

Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
(The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.

HT3302 what if i pay for the iPod to get fixed, because it doesn't have warranty anymore?

my iPod touch 4 has accidently gotten wet, to where the screen is turning blank. The warranty has ran out, like about 2 years ago, and Apple won't fix it for free, i know that for a fact. What if I pay for the iPod to get it fixed? Will Apple still fix it? If so, How much?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
