Slow on the network?

Anyone have any thoughts on this problem?
I have a new workstation connected to an existing Windows network. Everything seems to work just fine... except Bridge, which takes about a minute to access any folders on other computers attached to the network. Bridge works fine on folders on my computer--and the Windows navigation tools work fine on the other network computers... just Bridge + the network is the problem. And a frustrating one on deadline! Ha!
I have tried all the obvious fixes (that I can uncover on the forums, anyway...) and am wondering if anyone has any experience troubleshooting this kind of issue.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi...
I'm testing Bridge as a video asset browser on our network and I'm seeing similar behavior.
I've developed a work flow to create low bandwidth proxies of source media and I'm on a 1.0 gig pipeline, so bandwidth is not the issue.
I have also background cached all the thumbnails prior to browsing tests. In my case I have also pushed the cache file out to the folders.
In using Bridge, it seems there is a huge lag from the time I make the request to preview a source to the time Bridge actually access the network.
During this lag, the application goes into "Not Responding Status" (Windows Task manger).
Once it starts to access the network, I will get access to the material in quick batches, then the connection will time out again, and the application will become non responsive.
I have the option in my case to mount the drive as a local volume or a network volume. Most everyone on my SAN will be able to do the same, but some clients are attached only via ethernet.
I'll see if behavior as local drives is better.
Help! I want to believe this can work, but I won't deploy it unless I can generate consistent and reliable performance. :)

HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

Hi,
My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
''add a local printer;
'new port'
'localport'
\\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
but still nothing!
There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
I Really appreciate your HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
Let me know!

Why are my MacBooks so slow on the network when everything else is fast?

Last month, my apartment complex changed its network from a pretty wide open Wi-Fi to one where we must enter a user name and password every 30 days for each machine. Since then, both my MacBooks (2012 MBP running 10.8.3 and 2008 white MB running 10.7.5) have very slow connections. Web pages will fail to load, or load incredibly slowly (as in the progress bar moves an inch then stops). We get bursts of activity (as also seen in Activity Monitor) lasting for seconds (limited to 4mbps down/0.2mbps up by the new ISP). This occurs on both Safari and Firefox. iTunes music store, the Mac App store, Mail, and Spotify all exhibit identical behavior. My iPad, iPhone, and another's Windows netbook connect without any obvious difficulty. We had a rep from the new ISP come to check out our connection, and he believes that the problem is directly related to the MacBooks (a virus on both?).
Things I've tried without change in behavior (with the 2012 MBP):
1. Connecting directly to ethernet (and turning off AirPort).
2. Restarting the computer and the router.
3. Logging in elsewhere in the complex
4. Changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
5. Deleting AirPort and re-installing in System Prefs
6. Following the excellent "Step by Step to Fix Your Mac" https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353 on these forums, including clearing every cache imaginable with Onyx, and uninstalling Java, Silverlight, Flash, and any System Pref plugins.
7. Sorting through Activity Monitor to find anything else running on my CPU of consquence--I don't think so.
8. Confirming good ping and down/up speeds on Speedtest.net with my iPhone
I know little about networking, but I'm learning. Any other suggestions? Why does the MacBook behave differently on this network?

Thank you for the suggestions. I agree that my ISP rep looked a little confused by my problem. He was comfortable using Terminal (at least for basic network queries--more than I know how to do).
Although I physically have the ISP's router in my apartment, the ISP has changed the password, and I'm unable to change channels (though that shouldn't explain the peristent problem on ethernet). I've tried restarting it many times, including unplugging it.
I just emptied my trash (and restarted the computer). 500gb HD, 24gb free. No change in performance.
You're running out of HD space. That's the problem.
Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Server slow in the network

Hi boys and girls.
I have a little problem. My server (router, ftp, http etc.) is realy slow when Im connecting within my network to it. If I connect to it with ftp I only get a speed at around 20kb/s, and thats in the same network, not over internet! Same thing with ssh, and so on.
Whats the problem?
Im using vsftpd 2.0.3, openssh 4.2pl, Arch's kernel 2.6.13, and a iptablesscript called firewall-jay (dont think that makes any difference).
And no, I have no real load on it, so that should matter either. I have tried using different computers with different os's and diffrent ftp-clients.
Please ask if you need more information.
EDIT
Something I forgot to mention and mentioned in my second post, from the internet I get around 2MB/s (~20mbps), with that computer acting as a router. That makes it even wierder in my eyes.
And I can also add that I can find nothing that is worth mentioning in dmesg.

Why is my ibook so slow on the network?

It seems that when I use Wifi with certain public networks some of them are much slower than others. But the speed issues are only felt on my ibook but not on the PC. For example there is one public library around my area that I can access with my ibook. It seems to take FOREVER to access FTP (either with OSX Fetch or Transmit 1.7 (which runs in Classic). It also seems that websites are rather slow. But the problem and why the IT people will not listen to me, is that I am usually the only person in the entire library that is using a Mac. Everyone else is using Windows and even I have used Windows and these problems are non existant on the PC. Why is this?
Any of my FTP servers that I try to access on my ibook takes days to load, and most wbsites are very slow. But this is only a problem on the ibook and not on the PC's.
You may think I have a configuration problem but think again after you hear that when I get in my car and drive some 15-20 minutes away to another library and access their Wifi network my ibook works just fine!
This is very strange.
Thanks for any tips.
John

The library probably just has their network misconfigured. They got it working on Windows and don't care about the Mac. It is definitely the library's problem, not your Macs. You won't be able to fix it.
This is uncommon, but not unheard of. I had an interview at Microsoft once. I couldn't get my iBook to work with the Wifi (or hard-wired!) network at the hotel across the street. I even called up tech support. They had the netmask completely wrong. It only works on Windows because Windows doesn't conform to networking standards. For some reason, the hotel that Microsoft puts all the interviewees in doesn't work with Macs. Go figure. I didn't get the job. Maybe because I took a Mac to an interview at Microsoft. Hey, I have my priorities!

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an appe extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down? Should I dump it an get the new n version?

yes it is likely to be slowing down the network because you are using 802.11b/g
from what i recall with b/g a slow client can slow down the entire network to that clients speed.
this was the major improvement with 802.11n and Mimo. each client can be connected to the access point without affecting your speed to the rest of the network
its reccomended to get all new "N" equipment if you have the budget for it. some of those old airports and time capsules can still be worth something on amazon marketplace so you might be able to sell them
if you want to create / join / extend a netwowrk your going to probably need all "n" based equipment.
buy the new 4th generation time capsule or the new 5th generation airport they have better stronger radios
in the mean time configure your base station router to a high multicast rate, so it will prevent devices connecting to it at 1-2 mbps speeds and slowing down your network
if you have an apple care covered mac remember the airport / time capsule rule. all airports and time capsules purchased 2 years before you bought your mac to the 3 years of apple care covers them. if you do not have apple care then the standard warranty applies

CS3 slow over local network

I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.33GHZ Core 2 Duo w/2GB RAM.
Websites are shared from a Windows XP machine using normal
built in file sharing.
In Dreamweaver CS3, opening a document takes a while. And
once it's open and everything looks good, I can click on an image
and count out 2 seconds before the image actually highlights. Click
on another image or in a table cell to type text, and it's another
two seconds.
This site website, copied to my own hard drive, responds as
fast as it should - near instant.
The website and images aren't large by any means, 43k with
HTML, images, and css. It seems weird that it'd be slower over the
network than locally. Once Dreamweaver has the document open and
everything loaded, just selecting different elements shouldn't take
a performance hit.
I didn't have this problem with Dreamweaver 8.
Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan

Mac painfully slow over mixed network SMB/CIFS

I am using a Mac mini over a mixed office network. Several network operations are painfully slow. I posted a previous topic when I was using my G5 over the same network. Nothing has been resolved. G5, Mac mini or any Mac are slow over the network.
-photo previews take at least 2 minutes each to view while on a PC the whole drive of previews are instantly seen.
- Entourage common network calendar takes 5-10 minutes to view/update while the same common calender on a PC takes a few short seconds.
- Browsing folders on network drives is slow.
- Transfering files is slow
Basically any work done over the network from the Mac is tediously slow. Burning CD's and hand carry the files to other offices would be faster. The PC's instead all work fine over the network.

This looks very interesting and worth looking into. I've got the info in the hands of our net administrator.
I am making progress. I switched the mac mini from ethernet to airport. That has helped dramatically. A folder of 175 mb that was going to take hours and hours to copy to my local drive (I finally gave up) only took about 2-3 minutes over wireless. Previews of photos now happen in a few short seconds. The Entourage common calendar still takes a while to upload but that's probably an Entourage issue.
Our network administrator is going to string new cable to my office and we'll check the switching as well.
Thanks everyone for your continued help as we solve this issue and rescue the Mac's reputation in a windows environment.
This sounds alot like a duplexing issue, whereby
your macs are connecting eventually to a switch, that
isn't properly auto-negotiating your ethernet speed.
You can try going into the Network preferences and
forcing your mac to either 100 full duplex or 100
half duplex and do some testing. Some Bay
Network and Cisco switches must be set (if they are
managed switches) for fastpath operation where they
will autonegotiate better with equipment like our
Broadcom manufactured network interface cards. I
had the same issue at home with a Netgear switch, I
replaced it with a Dell gigabit switch and the
problem went away.

Time Machine over the Network: Terribly Slow

Hello,
I've been using Time Machine for over 3 years now with no issues over the network; the destination being a 2TB external Seagate connected to another iMac connected through gigabit ethernet. Everything has been working flawlessly: Every hour Time Machine would MOUNT the sparseimage it created on the disk, BACKUP the data and UNMOUNT the disk image when finished.
Until I upgraded to Lion. The above process is still working per se, however it is PAINFULLY slow! A 50MB backup can take up to AN HOUR! Searching around on the net, advised that there could be an issue with Spotlight as well, however this is not the case for me, since Spotlight finished a new index in under 30 mins. Followed every tutorial I could find on the issue, to no avail..
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion with the hope that the issue will clear itself. Cleared my old backups, resetted Time Machine by erasing its .plist file, restarted my iMac just to make sure and connected Time Machine to the network share anew, creating a "sharing only" account on the host iMac, i.e. the one that has the external HD connected through USB. Still no luck.
I painfully realize that I still have the same issue. While backing up, network traffic is under 100KB, and activity monitor does not show any backupd or mds or any similar processes taking anything over 3% of CPU time.
What could be wrong?

Hello again,
Tries on the other iMac (also running 10.8.2) and things are exactly the same: Image creation takes almost half an hour, and copying crawls at under 1MB/min. While time machine image is mounted and Time Machine is "backing up", accessing ANY disk on the host Mac is VERY slow. Seems like something hogs up appleshare when Time Machine is in use. Mind you, there is insignificant network traffic as seen by Activity Monitor, as well as insignificant CPU usage while backing up.
Stopping backup and using tmutil to set the Time Machine destination to the mounted image as mounted by Finder, solves the issue again, revving up Time Machine throughput to over 20MB/sec! There is also no issues acessing the other Mac as well, under this scenario.
Up to this point, the only way I have managed to use Time Machine over a networked external HD is through the NAS server. Both configurations where I am using a Mac running 10.8.2 as a server of the external disk have failed with very low throughput while backing up. Something must be wrong in 10.8.2's afp when Time Machine is mounting the image by itself.
I may need to remind you that I have been successfully backing up to the external HD for 4 years now; something broke a few months after the client iMac was upgraded to Lion and at the time when the host iMac was upgraded to Mountain Lion. Will try to locate a Mac running some later OS X version to do some more testing.
Also reminding that I have used two distinctive iMacs and two external HD drives for my tests so far. The client iMac has remained the same, however 10.8.2 has been reinstalled on it a couple of times. Have also used an afp-enabled NAS server which worked fine with Time Machine.

Slowness during AE rendering using file stored on the network

Hi,
i work as IT consultant in a design studio.
This studio has 3 workstation with 2xquad xeon ,16gb ram , 15000 rpm disk, Nvidia tesla card, fast enough to perform rendering with 3dmax using vray and other stuff.
They work a lot with watches and boat.
This spring they started to do presentation with AE cs4 and as other 3dsmax project store all data on a 2x2 xeon 4 gb debian x64 samba server with 2tb raid 1 sata.
The network is a gigabit and they can transfer to the server 100/120 mb/sec (i can achieve locally on the server 170 mb/sec from the raid).
The issue is that 3dsmax and other programs works efficiently on the network instead AE is very very slow using project stored on the server.
I've tried to set up disk caching on local workstation but there aren't changes, so i've inspected network traffic of AE with Wireshark and i saw that AE continuosly request always the same files (seems doesn't use an algorithm of caching) .
My conclusion is:
- our network is fast for transfer but slow with latencies ( for request a file we need 50-500 ms )
Solution:
- change topology of the network : switch from gigabit to fiber cabled network (too much money)
- discover some trick of AE
I appreciate a lot ur help.
Ps:sorry for my bad bad bad english.

i forgot, copying on local disk the project folder AE spend 10 minutes to render, the same project on the network spend 1,30 hours.

Does a mixed N and G network make the network slower for the N-enabled?

Hello all,
I was just admiring my Airport Extreme box after registering it, and I noticed this bit of fine print:
"Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network."
Does this mean that my 802.11g printer makes the network slower for my two 802.11n macbooks?

Okay,
For a follow up: I'm using the "guest" network for all my G-level wireless devices, and the regular network from all my N devices.
Does that overcome the mixed network limitations? It seems like it wouldn't - because the Airport is basically creating two virtual networks out of one network. Or are there two individual networks on the Airport?
Thanks!
