Sudden Internet SLOW on G5, not on MBP with same network

Yesterday, continuing into today, the internet speeds, particularly download speeds, are incredibly slow. I've tried uplugging the airport. I've checked the network Activity Monitor, there seems to be no excess usage.
Using the speakeasy speedtest, I'm showing:
Download Speed: 77.6 KB/sec transfer rate
Upload Speed: 109.8 KB/sec transfer rate
I'm on OSX.4.9, with all the latest updates.
I use an Airport Express, the previous version, not the new N speed or whatever.
I have a MBP on the same network, and it's performing normally, quite fast.

UPDATE: I just went into the network preferences, TCP/IP and selected 'Renew DHCP' and things are back to normal.

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

Can I use both newly cloned MBPR retina and old-MBP with same Time Machine

When my new-MBPR retina cloned from the old-MBP back up in Time Machine via migration assistance, will this newly-cloned MBPR continue thereon backing up with the same old-MBP back up in Time Machine? I.e. continuing same timeline?
And what happen to my old-MBP back up, if I continuing to use my old-MBP with the same Time Machine on? Will TM recognised 2 different MBP and thus creating 2 back ups? I seem to have problem to keep 2 MBP running with same TM. Programs not responding even force quitting them!
And what should I do to use both? Appreciate your help. Thank you.

OK, but in general I can use this one device as both file storage and Time Machine.
I thought that (for some reason) once I set up the Time Capsule to act just as Time Machine storage I would be unable to access it as a plain file storage.
I have just tested it now, and it seems it can work as both - file storage and Time Machine. I can see the Time Machine backup file on it and folders where I can dump regular files.
The only thing I would need to occasionally do is delete some old backups to keep Time Machine segment below 1 TB just so I have plenty of space for regular files.
This thing is awesome. :)

Not connecting to the same network after sleep

I'm working on a MacBook that is running Mac OS X (10.5.8) for a friend. It has all the specs that should be running circles around my MacBook running Mac OS X (10.6.2) which is five years old. However the hard drive had to be replaced on my computer and I updated the OS.
The MacBook (10.5.8) has an issue with connecting to the network here in the house. Last night we ran all the updates so that it would be current. Yet there was still a problem with the network connection. When the computer is awake and we log into the network it's fine, but when it goes to sleep and is woke up again it joins the network next door. Where my computer stays on the house network and doesn't jump networks. The pc computers in the house stay on the network here in the house as well and don't jump networks.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I was reading on the different discussion boards and none of them really match what is going on with this computer. There is also an airport client update, but I don't know how to find out if the Macbook is a late 2007, early 2008, late 2008 model and I fear that if I download this update client not knowing the model I will mess something up.
Does anyone have any advice?

Has anybody else experienced this? are there any quick fixes or will i have to make the journey to the apple store to get it looked at ??

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Internet Explorer returns "Page not found error" with new laptop set up

I have a recently acquired Dell Latitude D600 with TrueMobile 1300 Wireless adapter running XP Pro Service Pack 2 and a BEFW11S4 Version 3 Wireless router. I can get the router and laptop to communicate to the point of retrieving an IP address and show that there is Excellent Signal. How ever when I launch IE i get the Page Not Found screen. Once or twice i've been able to connect to the Google Home Page, but it seems random.
I have used the ping command in a DOS window to ping yahoo.com and google.com. Most of the time I get a 50% or less successful ping. I have directly connected the laptop to the router and it works without problem and I have another computer running Home XP via a WPC11 adapter that I have been using for many years.
Anyone have any experience with this symptom or problem?

hi , here is what u do , hardwire the PC to the router first....access the router using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the default passowrd.....go to the wireless section and ensure u have selected channel 11....save settings....then go to the advanced wireless settings and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each....save settings....

IMac, slower FTP uploads than XP machine on same network

I had previously been working on a Dell desktop, and a major part of my job is uploading 3-5GB files via FTP to another server. I used Filezilla for the most part.
I recently bought an iMac, and installed the same program, Filezilla, the OSX version, and proceeded to upload one of these files. I noticed that after a little bit, it was getting 35-43 kbps.
My XP computer is still plugged in to the same router, so I tried uploading the same file to the same FTP server, via the same program, and got 75-90 kbps uploading time. Obviously, that's twice as fast, and therefore an upload that would take 24 hours on my old machine, takes 2 days on my new machine. Same ISP, same router, etc. I did a speed test on both machines, and 768 kbps upload responses on both.
Is there anything I can do about this? I have roadrunner cable broadband in New York City, if that helps. I couldn't find DNS information for it, to plug into my ethernet settings, but I did change them from automatic to manual, according to some posts I saw regarding this specific problem, which others have experienced. I'm not all that savvy about router settings, which, as I said, worked much better with XP.
Any ideas? Thank you.

You might try another FTP program, such as Fetch, to see if the Mozilla program is slow on Mac OS X for some reason.

ITunes sharing works for Vista but not XP on the same network

So all the basic settings are right under Edit->Preferences to share and seek shared music on the network.
Here's the topology:
A - Vista Laptop (wireless)
B - XP Service Pack 2 Laptop (wireless)
C - XP Service Pack 2 Desktop (wired)
A can see C
C can see A
C can see B
A can see B
B can't see anything
Since the other machines can see B I'm lost... can you help?
Message was edited by: Ryan Buckner

After digging and reading since I posted this question, I finally found the issue. My Cisco VPN client was set to stateful firewall (always on). When I turned off this setting, all machines worked for iTunes sharing. The Vista box was coincidentally working because the Cisco VPN client 4.6 didn't work on Vista.

How to make Safari not autoexpand folders with same icon when adding a bookmark

I am just stunned at how hard it is to add bookmarks to Safari. Any ideas?
The deal. I have a highly organized, highly nested, voluminous bookmark list. When I go to add them, Safari auto-expands all folders, uses the same icon for them no matter if they are child or parents, and has no toggle to collapse. I would like a collapsable list by default and then expand to add. Man, I hate to sound negative, but this is 101 usability design and RIM does the same thing that Apple does for their backup on the BBErry when you want to select what you are backing up - autoexpand, no collapse, same icon. I think that's enough said on usability

Why is my macbook pro suddenly runs slow on mac os X 10.6.7?

Hello..i'm using Macbook Pro running on Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz with 4 Gb of memory on Mac Os X 10.6.7. I have sufficient amount of harddisk and have already clear my cache and run disk repair. However my laptop still runs slow. It happens suddenly where i the time to boot up my comp becomes longer. Now i even have problems running applications where sometimes it just hangs there. All the programs seems to be running slow. Does not anyone having the same problem?Is it something wrong with 10.6.7?Hope anyone out there can help!Very much appreciated!

Same here, I have a 15" MBP, 2.54 ghz mid 2009 running on 10.6.7. After updating to 10.6.7 my MBP s it is very slow to start, slow when launching apps and slow with typing inside of apps. And Safari is very slow when launching a new tab our navigating to a new URL. I have cleaned font caches, made extra disk space, repaired the volume, repaired permissions all to no avail. I use to show off the MBP to my windows users but now I am just embarrassed a they ask me "what's wrong with you laptop?" I turned off a couple of cpu softwares too such as Boom and carbonite and my cpu is never above 9% with an occasional spike to 50% on some larger software launches which is infrequent for me. Disk activity seem normal too around 10 - 27% access. Any ideas would be appreciated.

IPad2 internet connection "disconnected" shown in AirPort Utility with Time capsue

Hi, our internet connection through our Time Capsule is working well with MacBook Air and Macmini but not iPad2.
In the AirPort Utility app of iPad2 there is a green spot at the picture of Time Capsule but there is a orange spot at the picture of the globe. While in MacBook it is green both the globe and Time Capsule.
In AirPort Utility app of iPad2 after tapping at the globe the internet connetion show "Disconnected"
We are under proxy internet connection.
Wireless internet connection of this iPad2 was OK with other networks.
Please suggest some solutions.
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions, MindSprout!
I'm following your post with interest because I have an HP 6210 as well with a 1TB Time Capsule. No issues at all since it was installed over a year ago. I'm not using Snow Leopard (yet), so can't offer any comments as to whether that might be one of the possible issues here, but that was my first thought.
If I get SL installed this weekend, I will post back with results.
The other thought that comes to mind is that there may be a problem with the printing instructions passing through the USB port on your TC. I can't answer why a hard drive functions perfectly, though.

Can I share my library from a computer not on the same network?

Hey!
My family and I have always had our music on iTunes the family Mac computer. I'm moving and just got my first macbook (woo!). Is it possible to share or move the iTunes library from the family Mac onto my computer which will not be on the same network?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share music over different networks with homesharing. Put the content on an external drive or USB stick and import it to the other computer.

Internet running slowly, videos not playing well, everything slowing down. Wifi signal is strong, not sure what the problem is. Help please.

I have had my mac since December of this year. Suddenly it will not play video with stopping every few seconds to load, and my internet is running slower even though the connection is fine and everythiny else in the house on wifi is working well. Whats the issue?

Run this web based browser scan, it will tell you in red and provide a link to the download page.

Also another great free program is OnyX, just run everything, cleans your machine out on a system level.
You can cancel the reboot to run another cleaning section, just make sure you reboot at the end before using the computer.

Also use the Firefox web browser, it's insanely faster, the fasest of all browsers. The choice of Add-ons is numerous, personalization is just awesome. Everything can be changed, moved around etc. Persona's, themes etc. Just insane.
Not only that, Firefox is for Windows, OS X and Linux, the same browser on all.
