Road Runner High Speed Connection

Road Runner High Speed is supposed to provide me with 5 megabits per sec but I'm only getting 4.7 megabits. Is that considered too small an amount of difference to matter? I don't want to have to wait all day for a technician to come over and give me a new modem if it doesn't make much difference. A friend of mine says that I'm "sharing" the 5 megabits with everyone who has Road Runner in my building and that's why it's less than 5 megabits. Is this the case? To measure your speed of your internet connection go to speakeasy.net for a free test.

You are getting the full speed. 4.7 MBs per sec on a 5 Mbps line is outstanding. The missing amount is due to overhead.
Your friend is partly correct. Cable internet is a "shared" service. The more users online the less bandwidth each user receives. However, RR has been very good about providing adequate bandwidth to maintain throughput by adding more servers when the user load increases. But this is not the reason your throughput speed is slightly below 5 Mbps. About that your friend is way off base. This is in contrast to DSL whose speed is a function of distance from the server. The farther you are from the server the slower the speed. However, DSL is usually slower than cable for the same cost of service.

I originally installed Itunes with dial up but now have a high speed connection and I can no longer connect to the store

I have not been able to connect to the store to update, restore, download apps, or anything . I just get a connection error. I have turned off my firewall, added all the apple locations to my trusted sites, deleted the original dial up connection, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if iTunes is looking for that orginal path to the store?

Hi msmith9744!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your connection to the iTunes store:

Why do I get the message that download will take greater than 12 HOURS with a high speed connection?

When trying to download the free version of Firefox the time shows as "greater than 12 hours". The download can not be achieved then with a satelite connection - it will exceed download allowance. Can not even get started.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
So we have DSL Modem <-> Base Station <-> Computer connected by Ethernet.
Is the Modem Routing ?
Is the Base Station set to "Share An IP" ?
(i.e are there two DHCP servers on your LAN ?)
Is Internet Sharing On in th G5s System Preferences > Sharing pane ?
In the Base Station is Port Mapping Protocol Enabled if it is doing routing ?
It is in the NAT tab of the Internet Pane.
Is the G5 also doing WiFi to the Base Station ?
Also check the Modem is not Blocking PINGS as this log shows no PING (But I am not sure it even got that far)

First you would need to buy a 802.11n router. The fios one that is given to you is only a 802.11g. But to set that up you would need to configure your router for wireless and make a encryption key.

As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

Low Speed Connection

Hello all,
Do some of you have idea of the impact to unset low speed connection option in saplogon.ini file ?
We have about 10000 users on 20 SAP productions systems in Europe.
At the moment, our saplogon setting is with low speed connection option but a lot of users required historic functionality in input field and we ask ourself to unset this option to allow high speed connection.
The problem is that we don't know exactly what can be this impact on this on our network bandwith ?
Any suggestion ?

How to upgrade Tiger and install iLife without a hi-speed connection?

I recently sold my 17" iMac G4 to an internet buyer who wants to edit movies. The last thing I did was reinstall Tiger, erasing all of my files to provide the buyer with a clean slate. First, I'm not sure whether this installation would include iLife and, if so, which version? I included with the computer a Tiger disc and iLife '06. The buyer loves the machine but writes that it tells her she can't install iLife '06 without upgrading her version Tiger, which requires a high-speed connection.
Is she interpreting things correctly? Is there any way to download the Tiger upgrades if you don't have DSL or cable? If not, is there any way to install iLife '06 in lower (earlier) versions of Tiger?
(Finally, might I have cause to breathe somewhat easier knowing that she has at least some version of iLife as a result of my installing the original Tiger?)
Thanks for any tips that I might pass on to a truly grateful buyer and new Apple convert,
Cap

If she has a friend, library, internet cafe with a BB connection, even a PC, she can get the Updates from apple>downloads without Software Update, then use a CD or memory stick to take to her computer.
You could download all the updates, burn em to a CD/DVD and mail it to her!?

USB 2.0 high speed card won't run Canon MP800 printer

I have a Power Mac G4 AGP graphics. I installed OS X 10.4.4 on it. I purchased a new Canon PIXMA MP800 multi-function- printer. It needed a USB 2.0 high-speed connection. I purchased an Allegro USB 2.0 high-speed adapter card and installed it in my empty PCI slot. Here's my problem: When I connected the Canon printer, it would not print or scan.....it just went through the motion of sending, but not completing the task. I called Canon to trouble shoot the problem. I connected the Canon printer to my native USB 1.1 port and it worked fine. I then, removed my PCI card and reinstalled it, to be sure that it was seated correctly in. The Canon still would not work. So I plugged my old HP 1200C printer(USB 1.1) into the USB 2.0 port and my printer did work, but at the USB 1.1 speed. I contacted Sonnet Technology on the Allegro USB 2.0 PCI card and they said to try a utility called Cocktail or Tiger Cleaner to try and fix the problem. I downloaded Coctail and ran it to see if this would work. It didn't fix my problem. Any suggestions?

what type of USB 2.0 PCI card did you put in? have a look at the card and find out what chip is on it and let me know. I put one in mine that has the VIA VT6212L chip in it and it doesn't work either, despite OS X having native drivers for USB 2.0 cards.
The USB ports on my card didn't work at all until I installed a driver that I got from VIA. Even then though only 1.1 devices work while the 2.0 devices are not even recognised.
From what I hear, adaptec brand USB 2.0 PCI cards are what you want to get in future, plug them in and off they go (wish I'd done my homework). No messing around with drivers that support only half your new hardwares features.......of course its the other half that you actually need.
I've spent hours reading through all sorts of info and scanning forums everywhere to try to find a fix, I understand why you're a little woozie. A possible fix that people seem to keep suggesting is to zap your PRAM (restart holding command-option-P-R keys, don't release the keys until after the 3rd chime), didn't help me and I doubt it'll help you but at least when people tell you to try it you can say you've done it.
here's my post to my problem:

How to update without high speed access

How do I get system or other updates efficiently with a new iMac Intel Duo that only has access to 28.8 dial up internet access? The download time adds up to days. Is there a CD update we can get every 3-4 months or something like that? High speed has not come our area of rural Iowa.

Hi GozerMonster!
Take a blank CD to an Apple retail store, and you will probably be able to download and burn updates there, on a demo Mac.
If you do not have an Apple retail store in your area, you can download any update, you may need, on any computer, and then burn to a CD for use on your Mac.
For a faster download, do you have a friend or relative with a high-speed connection?
Visit your local Public Library, they may offer access to computers with a high-speed connection.
Some bookstores & internet cafes have High-Speed connections. If you, a friend or relative, has a portable computer, so this may work for you.
Good Luck!

Question about hotel high speed internet...

I will be staying at a hotel in Orlando that apparently DOES NOT have wireless internet. (I didn't know that even existed!! LOL)
I have a 15" MacBook Pro and will have to connect via the hotel port in the room.
Will I need any additional supplies to connect to their internet OTHER THAN the wire??
They supply the wire to connect to their internet, I just didn't know if I would need anything additional to get on the internet.
Thought someone may have encountered a similar situation while on their travels and could help me out!!!
TIA!

coopsgrl98,
Another thing you can do, if you happen to have an Airport Express too (and as has already been posted, if the connection is a high-speed connection), is to take the Airport Express along with you, and connect it to the ethernet port in the wall.
I take my Airport Express with me any time I will be traveling, for just this purpose. Who wants to be tied down to one spot just to get internet connection?
Keep in mind that if you have an AE and use it this way, you must first configure it to not distribute IP addresses, and instead let the hotel's router do the job (in other words, it just acts as a wireless bridge between the hotel's network and your computer).

Checked my TW Road Runner Down & Up speed and performing fine. FF is hanging, disconnecting, slow, etc... What to do ?

Checked my Time Warner Road Runner Down & Up speed and performing fine. Fire Fox is hanging, disconnecting, slow, etc... What to do ?

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.
For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it. :-)
Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
Scott

Hey Scott
You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
HOWEVER:
A few things CAN be done:
IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
(SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
Good luck!
