Slow connection for just one computer even with no firewall.

Hello,
I just bought an iMac. I currently have a macbook and a PC laptop connected to my airport Extreme. My download speeds for the laptops are fine, but the download speed for the imac is less than 1MB/s. Ranging about 400-600kb.sec I've done an internet speed test through my imac and it said it was 15mb/sec for download. Then i tested it with Vuze, it gave me a little over 3Mb/sec. But Vuze also recognized that i was using a router and showed my speed between my imac and airport router was only 418kb/sec.
I checked my rates using Airport utility and it lists my iMac at 216 (i dont know the units), my macbook at 162, and the PC at 54. The imac has the highest rate. both the apple computers are of 802.11a/n type. the PC is of b/g. The firewall is completely turned off. I dont know what the issue.
Any help or ideas???
Thank You

The AirPort Utility provides the instaneous bandwidth rate that the wireless client is currently connected to the base station ... in Mbps. The iMac (at 216) and MacBook (at 162) are, most likely, connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) 5 GHz radio and the PC laptop (at 54) connecting to the 2.4 GHz radio.
The maximum bandwidth limits are:
54 Mbps for 802.11g. This mode is only available on the 2.4 GHz band.
130 Mbps for 802.11n on the 2.4 GHz band
300 - 450 Mbps for 802.11n on the 5 GHz band with wide-channels enabled.
From the bandwidths that you are getting, the iMac is at pretty much full bandwidth on your local wireless network. That would mean transferring data between the iMac and any other device on the local network should experience relatively high data transfer rates.

  • Very slow connection for about one week

    For the past week or so my connection speed has dropped massively, usually i could download at about 800kb/s and now it has reduced to around 5-10 kb/s.
    My router is connected directly to the phone line, and is connected to my pc via an ethernet cable and and wirelessly to 1 laptop and an xbox 360.
    I checked BT service statues and last week there was a problem (which has since been resolved) in the Bishop Auckland area - I have reset my router several times and the problem persists.
    I have tried about a dozen times, but as of yet cannot get the BT speedtest to run, I enter my phone number and then the screen remains blank, I have tried this in firefox and IE on both my desktop and laptop. I will carry on trying.
    My results from speed.io are quite confusing as the download and upload speeds are "excellent"

  • I have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always?

    I am an amateur photographer and have lightroom.  My photos are stored on an external disk drive with a backup disk.  With iCloud, will all of my photos go to the cloud?  Will I still need the external drives? Is the $9.99 per month for just one year or for always? 

    If the iTunes database files are on that drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key(Windows) or Option key(Mac OS X) held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to it. The computer may need to be authorized to play protected content, and if the library contains rented movies, those won't play.
    If not, import the content to an iTunes library.

  • EAM ID based or Role based? Why settle for just one?

    G'Day All,
    I've raised a question in the following blog, however I would like to open it up to other people as well so they might get something out of it and in the process might share their own thoughts on the matter at hand.
    ID-Based Firefighting vs. Role-Based Firefighting
    So this is where I am at this point:
    From what I can gather so far, my understanding of EAM ID/ROLE based is as follows:
    - Id Based: Logs in using own U.ID and through GRAC_SPM accesess FFID from the GRC Server and logs into the system assigned to them (ECC, SRM, CRM etc)
    Only one user at a time can use a FFID.
    Firefighter need not exist in every system assigned to them due to central logon however they need to exist in the GRC system
    Knows exactly when FFID is being used as he/she has to login so has a psychological effect (good thing)
    Better tracking of FF tasks - Specific log reports with Reason Codes. Bonus point from Auditors!
    Two Log ins so potential to commit fraud. (1 action using own UserID and 1 action using FFID)
    Could be hard to track and find out when a fraud has been committed so can be a problem with auditors.
          ID Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFIDs assigned to you
          ID Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> You can see  the FFIDs assigned to you
    - Role Based: Logs into the remote system only using U.ID, so everything gets logged against that one ID. 
    Multiple users can use the FFROLE at once.
    Firefighter has to exist in every system assigned to them - so multiple logons.
    Hard to differentiate between FF tasks and normal tasks as no login required  So easy to slip up
    Time consuming to track FF tasks - No Specific log reports. No Reason Codes
         R.Based -> GRAC_SPM : TCode for Centralised FFighting -> You will see FFROLEs
         R.Based -> /n/GRCPI/GRIA_EAM : TCode for DCentralised FFighting -> Not applicable so wont work
    So based on this there are pros and cons in both however according to SAP only one can be used. To me personally,  it makes more sense to get the best of both the worlds right? So here is my question why can’t we just use both?
        . Really critical tasks -> FFID
        . Normal EAM tasks -> FFRole
    Alessandaro from the original post pointed this out:
    "Per design it isn't possible to achieve both types of firefighting at the same time. It's a system limitation and hence to configurable."
    Well this is what I can't seem to get my head around. For a FFID, there is a logon session so it has to be enabled and as far as I can tell there is no way around it.
    However for FFRole, there isn't such limitations/restrictions like starting a separate session. FFRole is just assigned to an end user for him/her to perform those tasks using their own user ID.
    So in what way is it different from any of their other tasks/roles, other than the fact that they've got an Owner/Controller assigned to the FFRole? and
    What is stopping us from using it when ID based is the default?
    If I were to do the following does it mean I can use both ?
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In)  - > Role Based
    Please excuse me if my logic is a bit silly, Role Based firefighting is only done on Plug-in systems so the following should work just fine:
       . Config Parameter: 4000 = 2 (Plug-In)  - > Role Based
    However for ID based, it is a Central Logon, so the following is a must:
        . Config Parameter: 4000 = 1 (GRC System) -> ID Based
    Which means both ID/Role based can be used at the same time, which seems to be working just fine on my system. Either way I leave it you experts and I hope you will shed some light on it.
    Cheers
    Leo..

    Gretchen,
    Thank you for thoughts on this.
    Looks like I'm failing to articulate my thoughts properly as the conversation seems to be going in a different direction from what I am after. I'll try once more!
    My query/issue is not in regards to if/what SAP needs to do about this or why there isn't more support from Companies/Organizations and not even, which one is a better option.
    My query is what is stopping us(as in the end users ) from using both ID/Role based at the same time?
    Now before people start referencing SAP documentation and about parameter 4000, humour me with the following scenario please. Again I would like to reiterate that I am still in the learning phase so my logic might be all wrong/misguided, so please do point out to me where I am going wrong in my thought process as I sincerely would like to know why I am the odd one out in regards to this.
    Scenario
    I've created the following:
    FFID
    FFROLE
    Assigned them to, two end users
    John Doe
    Jane Doe
    I set the Configuration Parameters as follows: 
    IMG-> GRC-> AC-> Maintain Configuration Settings -> 4000:1 - ID Based
    IMG-> GRC (Plug-in)-> AC-> Maintain Plug-In Configuration Settings-> 4000:2 - Role Based
    User1
    John Doe logs into his regular backend system (ECCPROD001)-> executes GRAC_SPM-> Enters the GRC system (GRCPROD001)-> Because the parameter is set to ID based in the GRC Box, so he will be able to see the FFID assigned to him-> and will be presented with the logon screen-> Logs in -> Enters the assigned system (lets say CRMPROD001) At this point the firefighting session is under progress
    User2
    Jane Doe logs into her regular backend system (ECCPROD001) -> (can execute GRAC_SPM to check which FF Role has been assigned to her but she can see that in her regular menu, so there is no point) -> Executes the transactions assigned in FFROLEThis is done at the same time while FFID session is in progress
    So all I want to know is if this scenario is possible? if the answer is No, then why not?
    I physically carried out this scenario in my system and I had no problems(unless I am really missing the plot here), which brings me back to my original question: Why settle for just one?
    Again to reiterate I am not getting into the efficacy or merits of this or even if one should use this. Just want to know if it is possible/feasible or not.
    So there you have it. That's the whole enchilada(as they say there in Texas). I tried to word my thoughts as concisely as I can, if there are still any clarifications, more information you or anyone else reading this would like, please do let me know.
    Regards,
    Leo..

  • How do I make a transpose/octave button for just one instrument in a split?

    I work in mainstage 2.2.2 with patches that are using splits, and I want to make an octave button for just one instruments in a patch. Suggestions? (If I press the octave button in my keyboard, the whole split point moves, no good...)
    Benny

    An octave button for just one instrument will work for some instruments. EVB3, ESX24, ESM and a few others can be assigned. However I was unable to make it work with EVP88 and ES2. Try this example: in layout mode set up a button(or buttons) on your controller keyboard for changing octaves. In edit mode add a channel strip and select an ESX24 instrument. Select the screen control button you want to assign in the workspace. In the screen control inspector, select the mappings tab. The list below will say unmapped. Double-click on it. Select the instrument in the list. Another list to the right will appear. Select ESX24 (Sampler). In the column to the right, select the pitch folder, then select transpose. To the right, you'll see saved value, button on and button off values. This should get you started. Some of the instruments have different menus, so they'll be a little different. Have fun with it.

    Benny

    Depending on your virtual instrument you can assign octave to a MIDI control. If you assign all of them to the same control on every track then that would be the effect, but like I said before, it really depends on which instruments you use.

  • Connect more than one computer to a time capsule volume?

    Hello. I am considering buying an old time capsule (500G, 2nd generation) as a little in-house server to store data that need to be accessible for more than one work station. Is it possible to connect more than one work station to one time capsule?
    Thanks

    While it is possible to connect more than one computer to the Time Capsule......I would not recommend that you buy the Time Capsule that you are looking at.....unless you know that the owner has replaced the hard drive and power supply.
    Most of these models never made it much past a few years of operation, so if this is an "original", you have a hint of what will happen not long after you purchase the product.

  • Import for just one table fails....

    Hi,
    On production server i have declared a db user , let's call him PRD_USER, with default tablespace PRD_TBL.
    On development server i have declared a db user , let's call him PRD_USER, with default tablespace DEV_TBL.
    On production server, i use the exp db utility in order to do the import as:
    imp system/manager from user=PRD_USER touser=PRD_USER ignore=Y file_name ='....' log='....'.
    The import succeeds for about 25 tables and indexes and constraints but it fails for just one table with error : {i do not remember the ORA- error, and i have not access to it right now} tablespace DEV_TBL does not exist.
    Of course this tablespace does not exist on production env. but how does this problem arise since the default tablespace for this user is not DEV_TBL but PRD_TBL...????
    Do you have the slightest idea what may be the cause and how can i overcome this problem during import...???{Note: I gave a temporary solution... taking the sql creation script of the table leaving out the reference of tablespace 'DEV_TBL'}.
    Both servers run exactly the same version of DB..
    Note : I use DB 10g v.2
    Thank you,
    Sim

    HI,
    "If the table has Partitions, the import is attempting to create the Partitions (in the CREATE TABLE statement) on the original tablespace."
    The table is not partitioned.....
    I'll check for the second characteristic...(LOB-column on Monday)
    Thank you,
