Problem with gigabit after upgrade to hard drive

I just upgraded my hard drive to a 7200.2 and re-installed 10.4. Set up my network with a static IP and manually set my Ethernet card to 1000 and full duplex but am only seeing about 1.3MB/s transfer rates from my NAS. Before the upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s. Is there something I might have missed.
My network:
Mini 1.6GHz, Infrant ReadyNAS, both running gigabit jumbo frames at 7936 frames. Netgear gigabit switch, cat6 or cat5e cabling.
Again prior to the hard drive upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s
now I am seeing 1.3MB/s

I don't see a new topic link anywhere so please forgive me.
I just got my mac today and ive searched through the forums and typed in advanced searches and I cannot seem to find a answer. I cant even register my mini because something is wrong with the serial number I been on the internet and usually when i'd get done for the day on the internet I would do a disk clean up and defrag my pc. My question is there any way I can do a disk clean up and defrag on a mac? Please help
Oh and I have another question. I read about some kinda feature that allows me to use my mac mini to share a internet connection with a another computer. But im not too sure if they were just talking about a network or whatever. But could I do so if I wanted to connect a ps3 to my mini with a ethernet cord and use the mini's wifi feature to share the internet?

  • Problems with Dashboard (after partitioning the hard drive?)

    I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Yesterday I partitioned the drive to also run Windows, using Boot Camp. Everything worked fine after I completed Boot Camp.
    Now my Dashboard is not working correctly. It opens and closes, and certain widgets work, but others are non-responsive. Some won't even let me close them. I opened the "Manage Widgets" widget, and that is blank and also will not close.
    I also installed all new software updates yesterday, but those are the only changes that I have made.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    First, in general, you should only be using the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba support page. As well, you should not allow Windows Update to change any of your Toshiba supplied hardware drivers.
    After doing a clean install, the order that the drivers are installed in is critical for success. This is 1st chipset, 2nd display, then all other drivers. But, on a Toshiba, after installing all the hardware drivers, you are going to have to install some of the Toshiba utilities for it to work properly. Again, the order is critical, this would be 1st TVAP (Toshiba Value Added Package), 2nd Toshiba Flash Card Support Utility, then all other Toshiba Utilities.
    However, like everything, there can be other factors and complications. For example, on your system you could have either an nVidia or Realtek sound card. In this case, you can try each driver and see which installs and works.
    But, I would strongly recommend that you breakdown and order the set of Toshiba recovery media for your system, which you can do here. You will just need to input the serial number from the Toshiba label on the bottom of your unit. This will rebuild your Toshiba HDD recovery partition, reinstall Windows 7 with an imbedded product key, and install all the drivers, utilities and software your system came with, as listed in your specifications.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Problem with the connection to the hard drive.

    G5 Single core 1.8GHz stop working. I was told that there is a problem with the connection to the hard drive.
    It boots but freezes after a few minutes and fans go full blast.....
    Is this a logicboard problem, or something that can be fixed with a little work?

    Hi j hallow-
    Whose diagnosis declared a bad connection?
    Have you opened it up and looked inside? It may need to be cleaned out.

  • I had problems with my MacBook pro's hard drive.

    I had problems with my MacBook pro's hard drive. And I have this question how can I end up getting a replacement for it like get a new one.

    The recycle program makes it easier for you to trade in your old Mac and buy a new one. Apple has a partner that will take the old one and give you a gift card for the value -- if your old Mac is in pretty good condition and doen't have problems (passes the diagnostics).

  • Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

    I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
    Problems I have encountered so far are:
    - I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
    - I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
    Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
    It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
    Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.

  • Problem with iTunes after upgrading

    Hey guys my name is jake and my issue is so:
    i've upgraded my iTunes to the latest version 7.4.3 yesterday and on the same day i've installed quick time 6.5 codec for some work i needed.
    now i dont know if the quick time install is relate to it but since then my itunes wont open. it just errors me and ask me if i want to send or not to send eroor report
    when running quicktime( the one came with itunes) it says buffer overrun detected
    i tried reinstalling itunes few times and tried to install it on older version
    nothing has worked. also removed the ipod driver and reinstalled it
    havent worked either.
    any advices?
    thanks ahead
    Jake

    I recently upgraded to the latest that was offered and I think it was 7.4.1. Have they made a newer one since then??
    Anyways, I had a problem immediately. I have a large majority of my music on an external hard drive, and some downloaded music on my computer. After upgrading, itunes would not work, and I discovered that when I unplugged the external hard drive (which contains most of my music) itunes did work and played what was already on my laptop. Everytime I try to plug my external hard drive back in, the same problem occurs: itunes freezes and I have to shut my computer down. I also noticed that it says I have something like 6000 songs and 347 GB! I don't know how many gigs 6000 songs might be depending on length, but there is no way I have 347 gigs of music since I have nowhere near that amount of space on my hard drive and external hard drive nor do I have that much music anyways...no CLUE what is going on here.
    I'm afraid to delete itunes and reinstall it because I don't want the downloaded music on my computer to be deleted and I don't currently hve a place to back it up. Have you found any solutions/know what's going on with me??

  • Problem with battery after switching to SSD drive

    HI
    (macbook pro late 2011 13 inch, 2.7 Mhz, 8 Giga ram OS Yosemite)
    I have replaced my hard drive to a new SSD drive (Samsung 850EVO 500 GB).
    Before that my battery worked wonderfully- when fully charged I could work normally (Wifi and "normal" use) for 4-6 hours.
    Immediately after replacing I can "squeeze" at most only 3-4 hours of working.
    Any one has encountered similar problem? what did I do wrong? I must say I did this upgrade for my brother's computer, exactly the same computer and he has the same problem but even worst.  
    (I ran a test with iStat pro and got "85% health battery"). 
    Thanks for the help!

  • Problem with Western Digital Combo Ext Hard Drive

    I recently bought a WD 160GB Ext. HD to use as a backup. Unfortunately I found that when using the Firewire port data transfer would just stall after a while making it difficult to upgrade from Panther to Tiger which can only be done over the Firewire port. Qusstion:
    1. Has anyone else has experienced this problem with WD hard drives
    2. What HD would you recommend so I don't have this problem
    My goal is to upgrade to Tiger on 1 partition of my ext. HD and have a backup of Panther on the other partition. WD said they would replace the drive so I may try that in the hope that maybe I just got a bad one and it's not a design defect.

    Hi everybody,
    as i wrote a few weeks ago in another similar topic, i have exactly the same problem with a WD MyBook home 1 To. Plugged on USB port, everything's fine. On the Fw400 port, the device is "unknown"and won't mount... So i bought a new cable with FW400/FW800 and plugged it on my Imac's FW800 port and there, the disk mount on the desktop and it works perfectly! I read lots of posts in differents forum which describe the problem with the Imac's FW400 port.
    So, i think you have to buy a fw400/fw800 cable and plug it on your Imac's fw800 port !
    P.S. : excuse me for my english, i'm french

  • Problem with momentus XT ST750LX003 hybrid hard drive in my macbook aluminium 2009

    I have change the hard drive in my macbook aluminium 2009, the new drive is Seagate (Momentus XT ST750LX003) hybrid drive.
    Each time osx turn off the drive all the applications are killed except osx. I have tested 2 different drives and i have the same problem with both.  Seagate do not have anything about this problem. 
    I even turn off the power saving of the computer and the hard drive... but after an hour of inactivity all the apps are killed ( except osx). 
    Anyone can help?

    Mid June 2012 bought a Momentus XT 750 for the just released 15" MBP. It was manufactured in Oct 2011 according to the box and firmware was SM12. I liked the speed and most of the time it would seem to work fine, however there was a problem with corruption of large files - few hundreds of MB and larger. Archives wouldn't unpack properly, md5 hash would report different results, VMware virtual machines (using huge files as virtual drives) would fail randomly.
    It took me a while to narrow it down to the HDD, as this Mac also had freezing issues with graphics drivers (these now seem to be fine with OS 10.8, also upcoming 10.7.5 should help, although pre-11G30 builds were junk). On top of this I installed 16 GB RAM which is not supported by Apple so I wasn't sure what's causing trouble...
    I returned the XT 750 (Best Buy) after reading numerous similar reports on the net and finding that there is no firmware update for this model yet (500 GB version had similar issues which were eventually addressed in firmware). I noticed that they had a new batch of these drives made in April 2012 and the PN was different: 9JB1A1-575 instead of the older drive's -574. However when I unpacked it the label still said SM12 for firmware, so I won't bother installing it and I'll go with a regular 7200 rpm 750 GB drive (got a Hitachi drive) and delay the upgrade for a real SSD when the prices go down.

  • Problem with trackpad after upgrading to osx 10.4.10

    after i upgraded to the latest version of osx my trackpad started to malfunction.
    the trackpad tab is not shown in the mouse and keyboard settings and it gives a message trackpad tab is hidden because, trackpad is not installed in this computer.. m not able to scroll and use right click.
    please help!!!

    OK, I used WhatSize to free up my hard drive considerably.
    I know have 30 GB available out of 56 GB.
    Unfortunately the same signs and symptoms are appearing.
    The project loads quickly. I can the drag the playhead with ease through out the project and play any individual clip without any issue. But again, playing it in full results in slow, distorted audio as if its 5 seconds behind and in extreme slow motion.
    Would copying the project back to my main hard drive and trying to work out of it there provide any results?

  • N97 - Problems with hearing after upgrade

    I updated my firmware on my Nokia N97 as i have been having numerous problems with dropped calls, my phone freezing and apps dissapearing from my home page. I had to reset my phone constantly as it would freeze in a call.
    I updated my firmware to version 22.0.110 yesterday 06 July 2010. Now i cannot hear the other person on the phone calls. I try to adjust the volume level on the side to make it louder but this doesn't help. I reinstalled and it still is the same.
    My phone is now worse than before...now i cannot even make phone calls as i cannot hear the other person, but they can hear me clearly.
    Can someone help or are experiencing the same problem after the upgrade?

    Hey, i have same problem with my Nokia N97mini.
    Try to press with your finger to the earpiece zone when you cannot hear.
    You never can fix this via upgrade or hard reset.
    its hardware bug in all nokia s60v5 phones.

  • Problems with passwords after upgrade to Mavericks

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Mavericks I have problems with passwords. MacOS allows me to log in with my password but when I want to install software it does not accept my password. I can go to the user tab in system preferences and change my passwort there. With the new password it works, but when I change to the old password, I have the same problems. Strange ...
    Thanks for help

    OK. I found the problem (probably it is not related to the upgrade): When I install an application and the installation procedure asked me for a password it switched the keybord driver to a language I only use infrequently. Since my original password contained special characters the change of the keyboard driver was the cause for my typing in a wrong password. When I tried changing the password I used "abc" and this worked since it did not contain any special characters. So everything explained and a bug for Apple to fix.

  • Problems with time machine and external hard drive

    Hi all
    In 2009 with my imac I bought a WD external hard drive which the computer says is 148GB formatted. I recall that the hard drive contained folders with files for the running of the hard drive when I bought it - and after it had been plugged in to a mac and used as a time machine, it no longer worked on windows computers.
    Now I have used 195 GB on my computer's internal hard drive and wish to stop using the external hard drive as a time machine and instead use it for swapping files between computers and the like.
    How can I wipe the time machine back ups and start using it as per usual again? do i need to obtain the WD files from somewhere?
    thanks in advance
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    Avoid the WD files completely, not needed & often a problem.
    You need to erase the Drive, & to use it on both Format it MS-DOS/FAT32, on the Mac or PC, but will have a 4 GB filesize limit, as well as other limitations.
    One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for your PCs... allows them to Read/Write  & Format HFS+, so no need to reformat it...
