Slow response using internet, just hangs

Not the best at IT and just clicked update when it came up as available without realising what I was doing! Turns out it was an upgrade to os x 10.9.4. Since then the laptop has been practically unusable particularily when it comes to safari, it is either really slow getting to a particular page or just doesnt do anything, no matter how long you wait. Restarting doesnt seem to help, reload view fails as well. Its strange as sometimes its ok for 10 minutes then starts doing this. I know this is bad but I have never backed the laptop up so cant restore to previous version. I am currently looking into which external hard drive to buy so I can start doing regular back ups. I have run EtreCheck in the hope somebody can help!! Results below

Socket not used and just hangs program?

Hi, I'm writing a server class and in it, I try to open a socketserver and a socket. However, I found that when the socket tries to open up, the program will just hang there. I think part of the problem is because eclipse is saying that my socket object is never used. Despite having this line: "socket = serverSocket.accept();" being executed. Can someone shed some light into what is causing this to not be used/hang?
package Server;
import java.io.IOException;

Hi, I'm writing a server class and in it, I try to open a socketserver and a socket.Why the socket?
However, I found that when the socket tries to open up, the program will just hang there.And it will do that until someone connects to your server.
I think part of the problem is because eclipse is saying that my socket object is never used.Is it really? I find that rather hard to believe.
The problem is that your socket is never used, by a client. So accept() blocks forever. What exactly did you expect?
The norm is to accept sockets in a loop in a separate thread. And process each accepted socket in another thread, per accepted socket. And to never do blocking I/O in the AWT event-dispatching thread. And not to have servers with GUIs as a matter of fact. And certainly never to have a single static socket variable BTW: this is evidence of very unclear thinking> Even the server socket should be an instance variable.

Jerky video - slow responses using Premiere Elements 9

I just bought a new laptop (desktop) replacement, specifically to create videos on DVD. I am using video footage that was originally in the AVCHD format but were converted to MP4's.
All videos appear fine on the workspace. But when dragging the clips to the timeline or placing the cursor for doing a cut or edit there is significant lag time for the action to occur. In addition, when playing the clips along the timeline there is hesitation and jerkiness of the video. This makes no sense especially in light of the fact that the system I purchased is a powerhouse.
It is an ASUS 17" laptop with an Intel i7 quad core processor. 16gig of ram on board with a nvidia graphics processor with 2 gigs of dedicated ram. There are two hard drives inside with on dedicated to the project and it's associated video clips.
I boot fresh and start Premiere Elements 9 and begin the project. Loading the project takes about 3-5 minutes which I find astoundingly slow.
I also don't have any other programs running other than the basic processes to make windows run etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm quite disappointed in the way Adobe is operating. I had hoped that going from a 4g ram, dual core Dell to this beast would have made a major difference. In fact, it really hasn't. Kevin

Slow computer using internet.

G4 AGP 400Mhz 1 gig ram
. DSL
what can I do to speed up my computer when using the internet.
sometimes my is so slow that I type stuff and it appears on the screen a few seconds later.
is it my computer? (400mhz is pretty old and slow)?
or something else that cna be fixed, i.e. software add-on?
thnaks

Hi-
If you've gone through all that was previously suggested, and go beyond that, and reinstall the OS to rule out problems there, I think that you are realizing that the internet, and it's content, have outpaced your old reliable.
Without faster hardware, and if all software is working properly, any add-ons (if there were any) wouldn't do you any good.
Might watch eBay, or the like, for a used processor upgrade. That might be a good option to breathe some new life into your machine.
Or, it might be time to consider a faster machine......

AirPlay shuts down when using internet just a bit?

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my setup and I simply can't figure out where it's going wrong.
The internet comes in from an ADSL connection into a wireless switch, modem and router - This creates it's own wireless network to my co-worker.
From here it goes into the very powerful Netgear R6300, where my wireless network is created. The Airport Express (newest version) then hooks up to the Netgear for Airplay.
Thing is; We can send huge files through the Netgear without a problem in the airplay at all, but in the instance we start to download or upload something on the internet the Airplay immediately starts to stutter in the flow, and soon looses the connection entirely. I have no logic explanation for this, but I hope some of you guys do! :-))
Merry Christmas!

Thank you very much, I looked at the console log but its beyond my understanding, there are 960 messages from 10/1/09 (fresh OS instal) to 1/6/10 and 85% of them are all from 1/4-1/6
after a few emails to the other 2 people that used this computer at my studio, it is sounding like they "upgraded" something so it could play DVIX or CODEC movies/clips??? I dont know what that means but I am ticked to say the least..... they like movies so much maybe I video them getting fired.
I am not 100% on the hardware but I am thinking its more likely software and will do erase and install, but anymore advice for tracking down the issue would be helpful.

A Typical Nseries Slow Response Issue (Esp. To Nok...

I had this both on N73 & N93. I did not have this issue on my N95 yet, but I recently updated firmware to V30. May be the firmware installation is relatively new, the same issue has not happened yet on N95.
When you first start using the Nseries phone, it works relatively fast. Menus are fine. It is not that fast, I know, but it is fine.
But after couple months of normal using, I am not talking about installing so many applications, or having the memory card filled up full, just a normal use, the phone's operating system starts to slow down. This has always been an issue with Nseries.
What happens is that, in time, there is a slow menu response, menu lag, and esp. the phone lags when it is waking up from standby screen (screen saver).
This is also really weird: The phone goes in to the standby mode, the display is turned off, the bar showing the date and time appears, and the phone goes to sleep. (You can choose the time from setting menu). Now press a button to do something let's say, enter in to contacts, the phone phone can't wake up fast. It lags several seconds before it enters to, let's say, "Contacts."
Once you start using the phone, it is fast again, but it is that very moment, when it is first waking up from standby, turning on screen and all, adjusting the brightness, when you try to do someting at that very moment, it acts slower, kind of, well, it hangs... It does not do this when the phone's OS is fresh, it starts to do this in time.
Anyone had an idea why this may be happening? There must be a reason for this.
The easiest solution for this is to "Reset" the phone. And your phone goes back to it's brand new stage and yes, the phone works fine for a couple of weeks or months but then, same thing happenes again. And it is really pain it the ***** to reset the phone, re-install everything. It is really time consuming.
I guess we will have to live with that. I have never found a solid answer or a solution to this other than "resetting" or "updating" the phone's firmware. But may be I was thinking, may be someone knows what to do to trick the phone and avoid this really annoying "slow responses", "lags", or "temporary hangs".
Thanks In Advance.

This is what I do:
1) When I get a new phone I boot it up. Let it finish the initial boot. Then Open Music Player, Video player, Photos, Video Center, Gallery, Camera,e tc. and check that everything seems fine.
2) I make a Back-up using content copier or now OVI.
3) I install only applications that I've tested and research that are not causing problems to the phone. If I'm trying some "unknown" application I'm always careful to make a recovery backup before I install so I can return.
4) Back up frequently Contacts, Pictures, Videos and other important stuff.
5) If the phone becomes unstable, memory fills up or something weird, then I reset and restore either the last known good backup point or the intial "new" backup I did in point 2)
In my experience the best way to keep the phone working properly is NOT to load a bunch of applications of unknown quality or origin. SPECIALLY keep away from unsigned applications. The fact that they're unsigned means that there have been NO testing done by any official source and there are NO guarantees that this will not break or damage your phone!.

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

Internet Explorer 11 slow response on Windows 7 x64 virtual machine

I have a number of virtual machines running Windows 7 64bit on my network.
They are set up on a server running VMWare ESXi 5.1.0. Their users access them from Windows 7 desktops via Remote Desktop.
The overall performance of the Virtual Machines is fine, except when browsing the web using Internet explorer 11. (Firefox and Chrome are better, but not by much).
The user experiences uneven scrolling (looks like low FPS), delayed responses to input, new tabs take 1~2 seconds to open and closing the browser sometimes takes a few seconds after you click the 'X'. Firefox also experiences the uneven scrolling and delay
in opening new tabs, Chrome just has the uneven scrolling.
None of these issues occur when viewing the virtual machine through the VMware vSphere console.
This is a fresh install of both the operating system and browsers (installed on 2013-11-22). Everything is up-to-date and all browsers still have their default settings.
Running browser benchmark tests like Peacekeeper (http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com/) shows a notable difference in performance between browsers running natively on a desktop, through the vSphere console and through RDP.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how it could be remedied?

Hi,
To speed up RDP connection, please select High Color (16 bit) under Colors, and under Experience tab, select Modem (56 Kbps).
To make IE fast, safe and stable, please attempt to run this fixit below:

Slow access to local WebServer using Internet Sharing

Hi,
I have a MacPro with a WLAN. Sometimes I use internet sharing to access the internet with my iPhone. When using the "Browse the Web" feature of Goodreader to access some files on my MacPro it took very long until I get a directory listing on the iPad (only a dew files and folder). The other Way aroung (using the Goodreader intergrate WebServer an access this from my desktop is quite fast.
The desktop has an IP Number 192.168.1.2 the iPad someting with 10.xx.xx.xx. Putting the into the same ip number schema (using a wieeless router) works fine in both directions.
Any idea why the server is so slow?
Leif

Hi,
I don't know if any of you came up with an answer to this problem, because I have the exact same problem.
I use version 5.0.01.0600 of the VPN Client. Windows Explorer hangs for a couple of seconds and then works fine for a couple of seconds and then hangs for a couple of seconds, etc. When logged on in Windows XP with a user with administrator rights this problem doesn't occur. Only when logged on with a Restricted user (Users Group) does this problem occur.
Hoping you can help,
Jeroen

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.

mac pro too slow to use, spinning ball, no finder response, only hard power off, installing system stalls at 18 minutes left.
It is taking an hour to power up and mac apple logo appear onscreen. No finder controls or "clicks" are being recognized. Spinning beachball all the time.
Using hard power off and holding the mouse down, I was able to open the optical drive and then restart with "c" and ask the dvd to reinstall the system, but it has stalled before finishing the installation.
This happened about 4 days ago, first it started responding slowly, and then it just keeps spinning the beachball. I can't find hardware test. I did run etrecheck, it did not have any error messages, but I can't copy or move the data anywhere.... I am not able to access the mac pro with another machine, and now I am stuck in install freeze, so I can't copy etrecheck by hand onto a piece of paper.
Without being able to finish a reinstall, what can I try?
After it got bad, and before it got REALLY bad, I managed to repair permissions, but it took a long time. Most of a day. When I restarted from that, things were only worse.
Mac Pro 1,1 , 11 GB ram, 7300, 5TB hard drives, OS 10.6.8, the drive containing the system folder is/was 700 used, 290 free. While I could get commands to respond, I put Activity monitor on the desktop and watched it. System memory was 3.31 GB used, about 7 free, and some wired. No app was using a huge amount.
what should I try next? I put a bid on a new/old machine so that I could move the 4 hard drives over.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Please correct me as I articulate this.
I have three versions( 5, 6, CC) of the Adobe Master Collection which I keep active for different clients. I have final cut and motion. I have Office 365. I have a collection of graphic apps that are individually not too big but in all, my app folder is 65GB and my bootcamp partition is 61GB. I can't fit all this on 120 ssd and a 256 will be full once I install, correct? drives should be half open?
Somehow I did not make it clear enough that I was trying to copy onto a 2TB drive I had just initiallized in order to try and save files from my startup drive. I don't use time machine. I take a day or a few days worth of documents and physically move them to another drive at night. If a series is finished I make two dvd's as well. The second black drive that was failing was the drive I moved my backup documents onto. At no point was I trying to backup onto the failing drives. I was trying to copy off both of them onto the other two drives, a third aux backup that has been there for a while, and a newish 2 TB which I designated as the startup drive when all this trouble started.
I wondered if there were any good techniques for trying to get the data off the failing drive. Thanks for the suggestion of Data Rescue 3. I don't have it yet, but I will try it as soon as I get it. I was never trying to repair in place.
I am very interested in getting a pci bracket and an ssd, but I may wait until I can afford the larger one. If I get an older bracket that is compatible with my old mac pro 1,1 , I'd like to be able to move it to a mac pro 3,1 if I get one. Will the larger ssd drives be compatible with the sata in a pci bracket that can work in my mac pro 1,1 ? sata 2 versus something else? If 240 or 256 is my size limit, how much more than my 65 and 61 GB partitions can I put on there? How much of a scratch disc can I make if I leave another 39 GB of headroom on my bootcamp partition? I'm filling 165 GB without making any allowance for temp files.
You have said that 120 is enough for any system. I think I must be misunderstanding something. Are you saying that assuming that most people run office and photoshop and maybe lightroom?
I have and use 4 HDD in this machine, mostly for document storage in two places.
I took out all but the group of 2GB ram chips I bought a year and a half ago. The old ram had passed the hardware test the last time I had access to the hardware test. Two black drives failed, one was a year old and one was a year and a half old, and that it may have been exacerbated by the heat wave. I don't know why the video and the monitor were affected save that the startup drive was failing. I am trying to replace the card.
With all this said, I am also looking at a used mac pro 3,1 with a better video card since a newer machine will likley be compatible through another OS upgrade. If a machine costs only a little more than a new card, it might be a better way to go.
I don't have any sources that offer an ssd for 100. ( of a size that is useful)
How large is your application folder?

Wifi hangs up on start-up, and computer hangs after using internet for 5 min.

HP Touchsmart tm2, using Window's 7 64-bit. There are no error messages popping up, but what happens is I start my computer, and my wifi/internet connection icon seems to freeze while loading possible internet connections. If I turn off my wifi and then turn it back on using the button on the side of my computer, it seems to work correctly, then.
But, when I get on the internet, no matter what site I go on to, my computer will just hang up after being online for at most 5 minutes. Mozilla Firefox will go into a Not Repsonding mode, and I can't minimize it or click/open any other programs. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work, and when I hover over any icon, nothing seems like it's recognizing my mouse. The mouse moves, though, and the time even keeps going (it'll change from 9:13 to 9:14 and so forth).
It ends up figuring itself out, though, after another 5 minutes (literally an entire 5 minutes) and then seems to work okay.
Recently, I updated CCleaner to the newest version, cleaned out my internet cache, defrag my computer using Defraggler, used CClean to also wipe by free space, and updated Avast! Antivirus to the newest version and ran a full virus scan with no threats detected... :/

Hopefully No real Damage was done.
A Surge Protector works fine with items like Lights, Lamps and small electrical items. Where the problem arises is with Computers, which are precision electrical devices. The only real protection is a Battery Backup like an APC.

When there is a Power outage no matter what the source. can also create tremendous Power Surges. This can happen when the electricity is turned back on and can cause frying all of your Electrical Appliances.
Having an APC will save all of your Computer Equipment including your Modem, Router, Printers, Scanner, Computer, as well as Phone lines.
A simple Surge Protector simply isn't enough protection and especially the cheaper models.
Here is the simple way to check and see if your equipment is still operable.
Turn your Computer clear OFF and pull the Power Plug
Pull the Power from both your Modem and your Router.
Wait a minimum of 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes Plug in your Modem and wait a minimum of 3 minutes.
Now plug in your Router and again you must wait 3 to 4 minutes.
Now you can plug in your computer and restart it and don't touch anything. If your computer starts up then you got lucky If not you will probably need to take it to the genious bar at your closest Apple Store. Chances are that your computer has components that have been fried from the power surge. Good Luck and hope your computer restarts.

Unable to use free version regardless of browser on any machine. I login with adobe id but then the loading screen just hangs.

Unable to use free version regardless of browser on any machine. I login with adobe id but then the loading screen just hangs. can't get any further - Tried all suggestions like clearing browser caches but no change.
Got a couple of projects i wanted to try this on and if the software works I will probably take a subscription but considering this isn't working at all will look elsewhere.
Also - adobe live chat support is useless.

Hi,
please share the Adobe ID that you are using with DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com and we will investigate the issue.
Thanks

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!
