Slow internet because of tiger upgrade. Help please.

OK... I've searched through the threads, and other forums, and see that it IS a fairly common problem, but there's still no fix.
I finally upgraded from 10.3.9, to tiger, and my internet connection is awfull. 30-45 seconds to load a page.
It's not my router, it's not my shared connection with a PC laptop, it's tiger... and from what I've read, it started at the 4.3.3 upgrade.
Here's just a couple discussions I've found on the issue:

http://www.macfixitforums.com/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=tiger&Number=735358&pa ge=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=31&fpart=1
Some of those seem to think that it's just in a wireless connection, but I'm not wireless, and I've found many other people in my same boat.
What's the deal??? how do I fix it? please?
Dual 2.0 G5   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  
p.s. I've run diskwarrior, repaired permissions, etc. It started the exact second I upgraded to tiger 10.4.6... before that I was flying.

OK... My best understanding is this:
All day (I work from home, so I'm on A LOT), internet seems to work just fine. Maybe a hair slower than before, but not very noticable... and it could be my imagination.
About 8:30-9pm it suddenly come's to a hault. I'll be loading one page fine, then the next page is slow, along with all others that follow. About 1 out of 10 pages loads fast, and about 9 of 10 are slow. On the other hand, if I'm downloading something (I'm in the film industry, and always downloading others' work to critique), it downloads just as fast as during the day... even when a regular page won't load, I see it downloading just fine in the "downloads" window. Most of the time is says "contacting" in the bottom of the Safari window, but sometime's it'll find the site and load it most of the way, then freeze.
Some pages seem to take longer than others, especially these apple forums, which are pretty much impossible to get to after nine. I get this message:
Safari can’t open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=519698&tstart=0”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
The forum's I'm a member to seem to have a lot of trouble, and myspace seems to have a lot of trouble.
Then about 11:00 to midnight, it clears up, and is back to it's normal pace. I've been doing speed tests here and there, and when it's slow, the results show that I'm 95% slower than the average "charter" user. During the day, it says I'm 25% slower.
I hooked up my laptop tonight straght to my cable modem, and it seemed to run just fine. That would rule out ISP problems... but it was getting a little late, so I want to try it again tomorrow night during the REALLY slow time's before I rule out ISP.
By the way it's acting, it would make sense that it's just peak hours and my ISP is bogged down... but even during peak hours, it shouldn't be THAT slow, and sometime's I get that error message saying I've lost internet connection. Also, in my first post I posted a link to another forum of others' having the same sort of problem, and their description is VERY similar to what's happening to me.
Sorry if this post seems a little confusing... it's late, and I'm tired.

    192 is local address within your network.
    Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
    You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
    Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.

  • My 3000H will no longer connect to the internet via my cable modem - help please.

    I have 3 computers and a media server on a Linksys router with a Comcast cable modem. Everything AOK. 3 weeks ago my Lenovo 3000H shut down and rebooted for no reason. Then I began getting popups while I was on the internet saying that I needed to click on a button to make a dial-up connection. I would hit X or Cancel to make it go away. It happend more frequently and other related popups started, but I could close them and continue normally. Last weekend It happened again but I lost my connection to the internet and it would not reconnect. Now I get a big error message "Connecting through Wan Miniport(PPPOE)... Error 815: The broadband netowrk connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by and invalid value for the "Service Name" field for this connection. Please contact your ISP and inquire about the correct value for this field and update it in the Connection Properties..
    I called Comcast. They don't have a clue what Error 815 is. I have changed every cable, rebooted the modem, router and all computers countless times, and reset the modem per Comcast. I have taken the router out and connected directly into the Lenovo. I have gone through every screen related to broadband connection to no avail although, being a beginner, I see screens that I have no clue what they do.I have a couple of friends and a Comcast fellow who tried to walk me through the steps they thought would restore my connectio. No luck.
    Can anyone walk me through the necessary steps to get me back to ground zero and then through the steps to reestablish my broadband connection?
    Help Please?

    Emma-
    In Safari, press on the Bookmarks icon and select History.  Then press on Clear History at the top of that menu, and see it there is any improvement.
    If not, try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

  • Broken Bonjour with Canon MF4350d after 10.6 upgrade - Help Please.

    I have been using a Canon 4350d with no problems with 10.5.8 - including Printer Sharing (Bonjour). Now, after updating to 10.6 (now 10.6.2) I can still print fine, but I have lost all Printer Sharing. All settings appear to be right, and my other macs appear to be printing through the one connected via USB to the printer, but it never goes through. HELP Please. Thank you.

    According to the UFR2 User Guide on page 2-8, the driver can be removed from the Mac by trashing the following folders. Note that you should delete the print queue first, by opening Print & Fax, selecting the MF model in the Printers list and pressing the minus button.
    System Volume > Library > Printers > Canon > UFR2
    System Volume > Library > Launch Agents > jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
    System Volume > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj > CNTD**Z*2.ppd.gz
    (where * indicates the printer model and 2 indicates the language of driver used)
    With these files removed you can then empty the trash, although you may have to open Activity Monitor and stop the 'UFR II Backgrounder' service before you are able to remove all the files from the trash.
    With the v2.10 driver removed you are ready to add another driver. However you need to be aware that the v1.80 driver cannot be used on 10.6. If you were using it previously then it would suggest that the 10.6 Mac was an upgrade from 10.5 rather than a clean 10.6 install. On a clean 10.6 Mac, then v1.80 driver will not operate correctly.
    What you may be able to do is have the v1.80 driver installed on a Mac running Leopard and shared. You may then be able to use the v2.10 driver on the Snow Leopard Mac's to print to the Leopard share using the v1.80 driver. Note that I haven't tried this so I cannot say if this will work for you. Personally I always ensure I get a printer with Ethernet or wireless support so that I can avoid printer sharing...

  • Just upgraded mac book pro to lion also needed a new printer printer says in has AirPrint but does not support lion ?  I need the AirPrint because of my iPad  help please ?

    Just upgraded my mac book pro to the lion operating system, the next day my printer broke.  Went to buy a new printer that supports AirPrint because I also have an iPad ( my old printer did NOT support AirPrint ). The printer I bought is an HP that said it supported AirPrint, when I installed the printer and try to run the installation software it said the printer did not support lion. Any answers or suggestions, I would LOVE to be able to finally print from my iPad.

    Check with HP whether the printer and/or printer driver is compatible with Lion. Any hint as to what printer?

  • Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

    In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
    ===============================================
    ORIGINAL PROBLEM
    Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
    Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
    How can I resolve this?
    ==============================================
    The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
    Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
    After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
    I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
    Movable flat-screen iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

    For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

  • WRT54GX2 slow wireless 5.5 mbps speed help please

    So I just received my WRT54GX2 and got it hooked up. Here are some details of my equipment which are all experiencing the same issue while connected via wireless.
    1 Dell Inspiron wireless G. (updated latest driver)
    1 Toshiba laptop wireless G (not sure on driver yet)
    1 custom tower with wireless G (updated latest driver)
    WRT54GX2 ver 2 with firm ware 1.00.08 (just updated)
    Comcast 6 Meg cable internet service with Motorolla cable modem
     Here is the problem I am experiencing.
    After configuring the WPA2/TKIP settings and getting everybody logged on, the wireless connectivity speed (reported via the windows XP wireless utility) indicates connection speeds of 5.5 Mbs. If I disable the adapter and re-enable it, it connects and is at 54 Mbps for about 1 second, then rapidly drops down to the 5.5 which is where it stays. This problem is replicated on all 3 PC's on the wireless. I have tried adjusting the beacon interval down to 50, even went down to 10 with no result. I changed the RTS threshhold to 2304. Tried setting the transmission rate from auto to 54 Mbps. I tried adjusting the RWIN settings on my PC as suggested in another post here where somebody was experiencing a similar problem. I have installed the Microsoft WPA2 patch (893357) and that made no difference either. I have switched to G only instead of mixed mode. Tried channels 1, 11, 7, 6, and probably most of the others. Moved the router around to different locations in the room. Even sitting within arms reach of it, I still only see the 5.5 Mbps (I have full signal strength BTW). I ran netstumbler and found very few wireless networks within range. And the ones that were had very weak signals. Short of unplugging my cordless phone, I am at a loss of things to try. I may reset the router and try a new config from scratch, but if there is any help on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now.   If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for all your wireless cards.  Note that often the speed of your wireless network is determined by the "weakest link" in your system.  You might want to try to isolate the problem by turning on each wireless computer separately, then two at a time.  You might be able to tell which computer is bringing down your wireless speed.
    If you still have trouble, try the following.
    For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps. For wireless n routers, try setting the "n Transmission Rate" to 162 Mbps, and the (wireless g) "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    Hope this helps.

  • G3 Monitor saying "out of range" after itunes upgrade - HELP PLEASE

    I'm running a G3 with 512RAM. It has been running Panther totally reliably for a year. I upgraded to 10.3.9 and the G3 ran no problem. I upgraded to the latest Itunes, restarted the G3 and now after the tones the monitor turns black with the message "out of range" refering to the frequency setting. I can hear to G3 drive running but I cant progress beyond this message on the monitor. Please help...have I lost my G3 for ever? is there a safe mode I can start the G3 in? I have the Panther discs but I don't seem able to do anything to start this G3 now. Please help..I love this Mac, I dont want to loose it, don't mind loosing the data, but not the mac..any ideas..please

    Refer to mac manual - Resetting the PRAM (parameter randon access memory).
    Restart whilst holding Command/option/p/r keys and release after second tones. Suggest changing internal battery also.

  • I have imovie8.0.6 but cannot transfer from my sony hdr sr1. i think, if i upgrade to version 9,0,4 that this will work. but i need a version of 9.0.0 to upgrade. help please

    i wish to upgrade to imovie 9.0.4 but the upgrade is only possible if i already have version 9.0.0. therefore i need advice please on how to upgrade in sequences from8.0.6 or are there anyother ways to do this please.? I read that with version of imovie 9.0.0 or later that i can transfer my hd and lesser resolution movies.

    Thank you Neil,I have a macbook pro with snow leopard v.10.6.8.included intell core 2 duo with a processor speed 2.5ghb with one processor and cores 2.

    Perhaps i misunderstand you. Do you mean purchase a software copy from an apple Store and the can i directly upgrade.

  • IWeb O8 Won't Publis After Upgrade- Help Please

    Hey All,
    So I finally upgraded to iWeb 08 and now my sites won't publish at all. Every time I select Publish or Publish All it goes through the paces connects then goes through updating all of the pages and then reaches the publishing in the background message. After that it stalls for 20 minutes and then I get this message "iWeb couldn't connect to .mac. Make sure your internet connection works & try again."
    I've been trying to figure it out for 3 nights and I'm going crazy as my wife is pregnant and due this week and I will want to update the family site. First it should be said that I can surf any and all web sites.
    I've searched the forums and the web and tried the following:
    -unplugging my rouuter and letit reset
    -unplugging my modem and let it reset
    -checking the keychain for iWeb (it is correct)
    -repairing the keychain
    -Verify disk permissions
    -Repairing disk permissions
    -deleting this file User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
    -Made sure my password is only 8 characters
    I don't know what else to do. Any help or guidance to rectify this would be supremely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Luke

    So I found a solution and wanted to share so others can fix this if they have the same problem.
    My iWeb was corrupted and although this sounds very basic it did the trick for me. Copy the iWeb Domain from library/Application Support/iWeb.
    Then paste it on your desktop. Then copy it back into the folder that it came from over the original domain.
    This simple trick worked for me so I hope it works for you.

  • ICal and server upgrade Help please.

    Hi folks,
    I am running 10.5.2 server on a dual G4 tower and in particular iCal, which has been running very well. I want to upgrade to a new iMac, and so far I have been unable to figure out how to successfully recreate all accounts (only 7) and re-use the account calendars (about 4350 events so far).
    The upgrade and migration documents only cover 10.4.10 server going to 10.5 server, not 10.5.2 PPC server migrating to intel 10.5.2 server.
    I can't clone as PPC disk format is apm and intel is guid.
    Please tell me how to move the accounts from PPC to intel (?export admin and users, import admin and users?) and how to copy the calendars from PPC to intel to keep all the events.
    Finally how do you get the individual user icals to reload the calendars once they have been binded by directory utility.
    regards and thanks in advance

    You don't say what model eMac you have. There are several http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/emac/index-emac.html
    I'm guessing it's the 700MHz model since you said it only has 128MB RAM. You can upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4, but, you need to upgrade the RAM to at least 512MB (1GB would be better). The spec page at the above link has a link to OWC, a good source for RAM.
    However, Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521 http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
    http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
    After you install Tiger, suggest you download & install the Firefox browser for OS 10.4 (freeware) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
     Cheers, Tom
