Re: Serious speed loss on infinity all of a sudden

A couple of times a week my upload and download speed via Wi-Fi drop to a snails pace. Normally I get 30Mbps download and 7Mbps upload. Often on a Monday morning I get 0.1Mbps both up and down on all wireless devices, the connection is reliable but unusably slow. I can solve this by connecting a laptop via Ethernet to the Wireless router or by rebooting the router. I logged a call with BT on this but of course when you run their wired test it responds OK so they are not interested. I have run Wi-Fi analysers on the area and switched wireless channels to and solve but the problem just seems to come back every few days. A faulty router maybe but why does it work OK 90% of the time and then stop out the blue. Any ideas appreciated !!

A WiFi analyser cannot detect other devices that use the 2.4GHz band, like video senders, which can blot out many wifi channels.
You should be able to find one channel out of 12, which works best. Do not rely on Smart Wireless, as it can only choose three channels

Serious speed loss on infinity all of a sudden

Hi,
Any advice welcome - My infinity download speed has dropped from 40mb to just over 6mb since yesterday. Upload speed has remained at 10mb - I havent made any changes to my equipment. Are there any reported issues - nothing I can find on the website about system errors.
I have made a call to the helpdesk but after following all the generic tests I am being told theres no errror - shall I post the results of the bt speedtester so someone can have a look?
Hopefully someone here can help!
Many thanks,
GerryP

Download speedachieved during the test was - 8.66 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 16 Mbps-42.2 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 42.2 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 8.85Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps

Serious quality loss with MTS files and iMovie '11

Hello,
I have some issues with my brand new Panasonic HDC SD700 (a full HD camera)
I experience serious quality loss when I use iMovie to create a movie.
I did some tests, but still puzzled int this world of codecs and formats.
Maybe some of you can help.
I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
It show is finder as a .MTS file size 99MB, I'm very happy with the quality when I play this with VLC.
iMovie turns this file into a .mov file with 635MB size, in Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM, Timecode. This quality is already poor compared to original MTS file.
No wonder that the output file (select 1080p H.264 codecs) results also in unacceptable quality.
I'm running latest imOvie version with all updates etc.
I have no idea were to look to solve this issue. It is quite annoying since I have invested in a top Cam recorder. Not sure is Final cut express will sure the issue either.....

I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
Have you tried shooting at the PAL standard of 25fps? I checked the specs for your Panasonic but didn't see any mention of a 24fps mode, but most reviews seem to miss mentioning the shooting modes. If you did indeed shoot at 24fps, did you choose this frame rate when importing to iMovie '11?
I export as 1080p (same as original. My output is a bit blurry and colors are a bit pale.
Did you use the 1080p preset under Share to Media Browser, or Export using QuickTime? If the latter, be sure to select an appropriate data rate - if set too low this may result in poor quality output.
And yes you are right I'm using IMovie '11, quite confusing that '11 means version 9.0
Yes - very confusing! In the forums, iMovie versions are generally referred to by their year number, not version number. It's a pity that we have version 9.0 (iMovie '11) and iMovie '09.
Glad you liked the video - it looked very clear on YouTube at 1080p Full Screen, at least to my ageing eyes!

My mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

All of a sudden only 4x and 8 x write speeds are available when building DVD

I have been using Encore successfully for several months to burn my indie film onto DVD for grant proposals . I found if I used a 1x write speed my DVDs played on most DVD players and computers.
As of yesterday all of a sudden and for no reason (I made no chances to my computer that day) the only write speeds available to choose from when building a DVD were 4x and 8X and when I burn a DVD at these speeds it does not play well enough to watch.
I rebooted my computer and even tried restored my computer to the states it was in a few days ago but nothing worked...in terms of getting back the broader choice of write speeds.
I called adobe Technical support and they said that I would need to pay for support to fix the problem...does any one know how I can fix this without having to pay adobe lots of money for tech support
Kathleen

a) The drive's lifecycle counter has kicked in. If so, it would prevent non-optimal software-controlled modes and only allow burning at its native speeds to extend life expectancy.
b) Some other tool that accessed the disc drive and reset its config data.
c) Windows itself has for some reason initiated a new hardware detection and reset driver config.
In any case, it would seem that you will have to re-initialize manually. Remove the drive from your device manager and have Windows scan for new hardware. Do so with admin privileges. Windows should automatically re-install the required drivers, but with default settings. Also check this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. even though Encore doesn't give any error, the case listed under 1) may apply - if the driver is not installed correctly, it would report incorrect burn speeds.

I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010. My computer is super slow uploading and downloading stuff all of a sudden so is there any way of speeding it up again?

I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010. When uploading and downloading stuff my computer is all of a sudden slower than usual. The rainbow disc is always appearing and I have to sit and wait for items to finally pop up! Can someone help me figure out how to speed up my computer again? I am just confused to why this is happening all of a sudden. Thank you.

Usually the HDD is the frist place to look. Use the original install disk and start up the MBP with the C key down. Go through the installation process until you see on the display a menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.

Extreme speed loss

This problem has been bugging me for quite some time now.
I have a brand new Airport Extreme, making it the 3rd I've purchased. I've got a very reliable cable modem, and comcast recently verified that everything is fine with my line. So why is it that when I first turn on my airport, I have speeds of 2.4mb, but after about 15 seconds, it drops into the kbs sector?
This speed loss is really starting to upset me, and I've tried my best to fix it. Anyone have a solution?

In addition to Franks always excellent advice see if this link helps as well.

How to minimise speed loss through wireless network?

I have recently had a new fibre-optic broadband installation installed & the network speed (via speedtest.net) is an impressive 3-400Mb/sec download & 100+Mb/sec upload, although these are only achievable with my MacBook Pro connected directly to the supplied router with a gigabit ethernet cable. Connecting with the ethernet cable to the nearby Airport Extreme gives a slight loss, but still gives 300+Mb/sec. However, going wireless results in a huge speed loss down to about 50Mb/sec close by and down to about 20Mb/sec max (often only 5-10 Mb/sec) in my office, in a separate building about 30 feet away in which the network is extended by an Airport Express.
This Airport Express is version A1264 which Wikipedia tells me is b/g/Draft N standard. Will I get any better connection speeds if I upgrade to the A1392 dual-band version?
Don't read this as my being huffy about the slowness of 20+Mb/sec, when most people can't get this - I was on about 2-3 Mb/sec until the recent installation and am more than pleased with the speed but want to get the best from the potential that is there.

Really slow broadband all of a sudden.

Chatted to a bloke from BT both through the online chat and again on the phone about this issue and he said he would change some settings his end to try and increase our broadband speed. The broadband used to be fine, could stream videos just fine, browse the internet without any issues then all of a sudden the speed has dropped to below 1mbps (582kbps using the speedtester.bt.com).
The speedtester itself said that an "acceptable" speed should be between 600kb-7.5mbps. Frankly that is a bit of a joke as 600kbps is near enough where it is currently and even the 3G signal my iPhone is getting here loads web pages faster.
Just to reiterate, the speed was fine up until about 4-5 days ago.

Please Help!!!

After no luck whatsoever with the people on the online chat help system and after 3 calls to the customer help number I have finally been told that there is nothing wrong with my houses wiring, router etc etc. But the problem seems to lie (after the fourth line test in as many days) on the line between my house and the exchange!!!
How is it the other people that conducted line tests couldn't see that or did they not both and just spout some BS at me as they couldn't be bothered to actually get to the bottom of this issue?! Perplexes me how the first 3 line tests I was kept on the line whilst they carried out the test but on the fourth time of asking I was told that whilst a line test was underway I should not use the landline at all...
Pretty shoddy customer service to me from the first bunch of people I spoke to. Not happy.
Now I have been told that I will have to wait another 2-3 days until and engineer examines the line and possibly even longer after that until the problem gets fixed and its been broken for over a week now!! What are we BT customers actually paying for?!

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, send me ansver,please

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, write me of bookmarks could not be loaded. Please advice on everything because I came and they seriously need it.

Did your computer crash or did Firefox crash causing the loss of the bookmarks?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

All of a sudden Safari cannot connect to server when I go on certain websites. But when I tried these websites on the same computer from a different location they opened fine.

I used to go on several websites without a problem, one being www.udel.edu/udsis but now all of a sudden when I try to open these websites it says "Safari can't connect to server". At first I thought my computer had the problem, but when I tried the other mac in my house I had the same issue. The next day I visited family in another state and brought my computer with me, I typed those website addresses in and they opened without a problem. But now I'm back at home and I still can't open those websites. What gives?

Leads one to suspect an ISP issue. Yours. Perhaps for the moment though. In any case I like to use OpenDNS servers for safety and speed.

Macbook Pro was cool at first, 5 days later all of a sudden its a microwave

I have looked for anyone else who has had this happen to them and so far havent found anything. I know alot of peoples Macbook Pro's are hot, but the issues for them seem to be from the start. i got mine 5 days ago (31/5/06) and it was fine, no exessive heat issues etc. All of a sudden yesterday night though it has started getting really hot, i mean so hot that you seriously cannot touch the bottom of the thing. I promis i am not blowing this out of proportion. Even when the system is at idle it gets really really hot. I didnt do any software upgrades yesterday so im sure it has nothing to do with that, and as of the day i got the computer all my firmware etc was fully upgraded. Has anyone else experenced the same sudden increase in temperatire? I am worried its going to cook its self! I am seriously thinking about sending it back to see if apple can fix it because the heat of the thing bugs me for the whole time i use it. I would even go as far as saying that using my Macbook Pro is an unpleasant experience because i am constantly worried that at any minet it will fry its self and die. Any advice would be appreciated. I will Call apple technical support and get their take on the situation and then repost what i find out. Thank you

While this is happening to you, open up Activity Monitor and check for a runaway process. This happened to me once and I found out that for some reason, MS Word had started and was consuming both cores. The result was slow response and very hot computer. Maybe you have some application that is starting and running away?

WRT54G V8 - no connection - All Lights on SOLID all of a sudden

My WRT54G has worked fine for the last few months but all of a sudden our laptop lost its internet connection. When I went to look at the router it had 5 solid lights, 1,2,3,4 and internet. It doesn't matter what cables are plugged in, those light will always be on. even if it is just the power it is only those lights, and the power light seems to be on but it is dim, definitely not even 1/2 as bright as the others. The lights are on solid, not blinking, and are on from the second I put the power cable in. This happened all of a sudden, I was not doing anything out of the ordinary. I can't find any solution for it. I have reset it (pushing the reset button for 30 seconds) and it is the same situation. When I type in 192.168.1.1 in my browser - "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1." ; so my computer cannot even communicate with the router. I am at a loss on what to do. I have a wired router that I am using now that is working just fine. Does anyone have any ideas what happened here? Thanks!

When all the light are on, there's something wrong with the router. Reset it for 30 seconds. If there's no change, unplug/replug the power cord and reset it again. If you have the same results and your router is less than a year old, call them for a replacement.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

PLEASE HELP ME, Problems with airport/network set up all of a sudden.

Ok here goes. Saturday Aug. 19 I was on the internet, everythings fine. Then all of a sudden my airport drops/disconnects. I went into assistant, internet connect, preferences and so on. My computer tells me in Network Diagnostics that the airport is green, airport settings is green, network setting is green, isp is green, but internet and server are red. Ive messed around with it to no prevail, in fact I believe I think I have made it worse. Now only the airport is green. I have know idea. My roommate also has an Apple and his wireless/airport is fine, nothings changed. As I have "messed" with it, I have come across a section where it tells me my internet set up/preferences or something has been changed by another application, if that makes any sense. This is not so much a problem as it is a hassel. Now I must sit at the coffee table to get on the internet.
Is there a way to start over or is this a serious problem needing an Apple store tec? Can someone walk me through what I need to do to fix this, as I have no idea what Im doing.
If there is any more information needed... Please ask.

No the password isn't your apple id password.
You encrypted your backup with a password, if you don't remember the password, then i'm sorry you won't be able to use it.
