TC 1st backup via Ethernet very very slow - HELP

Hi,
I am trying to do my first back up via Ethernet connection but it is so slow that there must be something wrong. In the last 16 hours TC advanced 1,77GB of 67 GB - so estimated finish would be in 3 weeks.....
Please, any idea what I am doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure you will have to do this via ethernet.
Try going to the Finger, selecting Go>Connect To Server then select the Browse button. After you have done this, you should see the disk available as a network server. I hope this helps, but I'm running Leopard.

Visa communication time via ethernet - very slow?

Hello Everyone,
I am working with an Anritsu MS2722C Spectrum Analyzer and attempting to recieve as fast a communication time as possible. So far, the visa function calls I make ( viPrintf / viBufWrite viReadStr / viBufRead ) seem to be taking roughly 100ms each, much too slow for the project I'm working on.
Does anyone have ideas as to how I can speed up the communcation time to the device in software? It seems like maybe I am missing something in maximizing the efficiency of the VISA library, as it seems to me that the communication time should be much faster than this.
I'm sorry if this question is in the wrong spot or has been already answered, but I didn't see much discussion about library efficiency anywhere.
Thanks,

Hi Ever Song,
Thanks for the response! The real problem I'm having isn't so much with the data transfer rate though, the speed at which the actual data transfer happens is fine (if I were to say, transfer a large file, the operation completes in say 130ms .. only 30ms longer than making a simple call with very little data transfer). So while the jumbo frames are a decent idea, that's more of a low-level speedup for data transfer rates, and I'm not sure it will really help me
I'm speaking in terms of VISA library overhead, or some sort of overhead from establishing a connection, as sending even the simplest command is taking around 100ms. (the call itself blocks for this time). If anyone has had any experience with using the visa libraries (particularly with a spectrum analyzer) I'd really like to hear about what kind of communication times you were able to achieve.
Thanks,
~Chris

AFP Directory Listings via VPN very slow in Finder

Hello all!
I recently exchanged my existing Apple iMac Core2Duo (with Mac OS X 10.6.8) to a brand new iMac 27" i7 (10.9.4). Besinde to this new iMac I´m using a MacBook Pro 15" (with 10.6.8). WLAN/Airport is turned off; only Ethernet / LAN is used.
My problem right now is: since the upgrade to OS X Mavericks we are experiencing server problems, browsing AFP shares on remote servers (VPN). The Directory Listing is very slow an can take up to 30 minutes for large listings. I can't browse network folders with Finder because it's too slow. It takes forever just list all the subfolders. If I try to transfer or open a file, everything is fine and I can do it at the right speed.
Here's the setup
2 networks are connected thanks to a VPN connection.
All clients, in all connected networks can communicate to a common fileserver (MacPro with OS X 10.6.8 SnowLeopard Server) in Network A
Firewall is not an issue between those networks
The clients authenticate via OpenDirectory and Kerberos to the fileserver
So the problems occur if i want to connect a client on network B to the server on network A. Connection, authentication, ... all good. Even the performance over the VPN, to tranfer files is OK. But browsing subfolders is catastrophic. I used AFP , results are the same. I also made tests on older clients, to see if the fileserver is the problem. 10.6 and 10.8 clients can browse normally, speed is OK.
So my question: What can I do to accelerate the browsing of my AFP/SMB shares for all my Mavericks clients? What can I do to speed up the Directory Listing? And yes: i know about solutions like PathFinder, TotalFinder, .... but i'm more interested in a native solution to this problem.
Thx!!
OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 10.6.8 Server

This has been a major issue in Mavericks all along. SMB has been a total disaster for anyone who works with MACs on a corporate network, causing admins night terrors, anxiety disorders, and general sadness. 10.9.4 + some server side fixes (smbcreditsmax and smbcreditsmin) fixed many of the issues, but the slow finder listings over VPN connections is still unusable. the only workarounds i know of are:
- switch to windows
- downgrade to mountian lion
- use FTP or webDav protocols
- use a 3rd party finder replacement: mucommander (clunky additional app but works!)
I will be testing Yosemite beta this weekend, i have heard reports that some of this nonsense is fixed.

Initializing laptop HD via Firewire very slow

Hi all,
I'm trying to initialize a new 80Gb laptop HD before installing a new copy of Panther on it for installation into a Mac mini. I'm doing the initialization, via a firewire cable and Macally enclosure, to a G4 MDD running Panther 10.3.9 using DiskUtility.
The initialization is very slow, top showing DiskUtility using around 1% of the CPU most of the time. The initialization has been running for 24+ hours and it's still going. The progress bar on DiskUtility has barely moved since it started.
Is the slowness a sign that my firewire port on the G4 motherboard is having a problem?
And can I safely just quit DiskUtility and put the HD back in the mini and do the initialization and installation via the Panther install discs directly on the Mac mini? Or am I stuck with waiting until it ends, since otherwise I'll screw up the partition map on the HD or something?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ed

Hi Ed. Be sure in your disk utility the option "safety(s)" is/are not checked. This way the app writes zero
on all your hd blocks and, more, if 7 pass or 35 pass is checked the time will be veeeery long to finish.
Just initialize your disk the standard way, without any other option. You can also check your device integrity before init with the surface scan, this will take up more time but will ensure your device isn't defective. I've formatted many hd through FW cable to external enclosure, succesfully.
regards
Rob

My iMac is all of a sudden very slow - help?

My iMac is all of a suddden very slow and the incoming gmail is no longer working. However my incoming mail works fine on my iPad and other devices? The slowness is on every thing?

First question to ask is: how much free space is still available on your hard drive?

Time Machine backup via ethernet to Time Capsule

I need to replace my 5 year old FireWire hard disk. I'm considering a Time Capsule and would connect it to my main Mac via ethernet.
Will my iMac see the Time Capsule disk and mount it on the desktop? And can I use it for Time Machine backups when connected with ethernet (rather than AirPort)?
I assume Time Capsule will do the above, but would like to hear from users who's used it like this. Thanks!

I would have to disagree with Smokerz. I've had repeated problems backing up to my airdisk through my AEBS when my computer was connected via an ethernet cable. Backups would go fine for a week or so, then suddenly the DMG wouldn't mount. There was no way to successfully repair it, and I'd have to start over again.
I have several computers on my network, and they were all backing up just fine, except mine, which was connecting with a cable. The others were backing up wirelessly with no problems.
Finally, on a hunch, I disconnected my ethernet cable from my AEBS and opted for using my Airport card. It seemed silly since the computer is right next to the AEBS, but it has been working for nearly a month with no significant errors.
(Before someone asks, I did not have the Airport connection running simultaneously with the ethernet connection. I used only one at a time, and I had them correctly configured with good, working equipment.)

Initial TC Backup via Ethernet hardwire?

I have set up a wireless network with TC and my two imacs. Now, I would like to perform my initial backup to TC via ethernet hardwire vice wireless. What is the best/easiest way to go about this? Do I have to reconfigure my TC for an ethernet hardwire connection, backup and then reconfigure the TC for wireless -or- Can I simply just turn off the airport, connect the TC via ethernet and perform the backup?
Thank You.

Yes, you can just turn off your AirPort and connect directly for the initial backup and switch over to wireless later. You cannot do this with an external USB HDD as the format saved via a NAS (Time Capsule) utilizes a sparsebundle vs. a folder format when connected directly.

Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
Not working correctly
10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

IMac G4 800 mhz internet access via LAN very slow

We have a G4 800mhz running 10.3. Memory is 768K. The only use for this machine is as a music server. It is connected to the internet via LAN; internet access is extremely slow - pages take an incredibly long time to load. Download/Upload speeds are about the same as I see on my Macbook Pro so I don't think it is the connected to the internet. Is there anything one can do to troubleshoot very laggy browser performance?

You may need to turn to Activity Monitor (or "AM") in Applications > Utilities to see if a runaway background process is eating up processor cycles. If you've not run AM before, on first launch its "Show" window defaults to "My Processes." That will tell only part of the story. Change it to "All Processes"to get the full picture.
Now highlight the "%CPU" column to sort by processor usage. Best to check with no user apps running other than AM. Let AM percolate five to ten seconds to let it finish its first poll. What you are looking for are any processes that are using 15 percent or more of "%CPU" with nothing running other than AM. If you find one, post its name here and we can advise how to deal with it.
However, don't get your expectations too high that a process has gone rogue. Part of it is simply a lack of speed by today's standards. I recently upgraded a friends iMac G4 800 from Panther to Tiger so it could run the latest browsers and it was still terribly slow compared to my PowerBook G4 1Ghz running the same level OS. The iMac 800 has a slow logic board bus (100mHz).

NVIDIA MCP61 Ethernet VERY SLOW

I just installed Arch on my parents computer, and the ethernet is crawling on it. Package downloads keep on timing out, even when I try to install them over the LAN with pacserve. Not sure what to do about this, I tried googling for issues with this card, but couldn't find anything. There were a few other issues that people were havine with the forcedeth driver, but I didn't find a solution.

Backup 3.2 very slow to upload

I have been using Backup for many years without any problem. Lately it takes many hours to upload to my iDisk. It is just an incremental backup, not a new one.

Hi again,
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

Azure Backup performance is very slow.

I am trying to replace an vendor solution with Azure Backup but the performance is so slow, I cant get back to complete. I believe we have plenty of bandwidth to do the backup and we are not going thru a proxy. For example, I had a backup run for 24
hours, and the got loss the 1GB backed up and had a message about obengine and port 6049.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for posting here!
It seems like you are pulling data over an Internet connection, versus accessing the data locally.
In addition Azure is a service-based platform of shared resources, and this means that two types of latencies or interruptions regularly occur.
The first is the time taken to make a request and receive a response over the internet. Since those requests and responses can travel through any number of routers before they return to the client, timeouts and disconnections are more frequent than in local,
fixed networks.
The second is the time it takes for a shared-resource system like Azure to create backup versions of data for durability and to replace and reroute requests to any removed instances. These latencies and failures are important to understand how to compensate
to achieve any performance requirements in the application. Load testing at a real-world level will give you more information about the latencies that you see.

Sadiqh

Time Machine backups have become very slow

My time machine backups to a USB attached external drive (dedicated to backups) have recently slowed horribly. They are taking timeframes like 30 minutes to even an hour even when nothing has changed on my system. They didn’t do that previously (usually just a couple of minutes for same).
Console ouput below. I see MDS errors. What are those? Are they a concern?
I have run Disk Utility on both my hard drive and the time machine drive and they look okay.

Time Machine backup wired ethernet - why so slow?

I have a new (Unibody/2008) Macbook Pro connected via wired ethernet to a new Time Capsule. As both are gigabit ethernet, I would have expected fairly quick backup speed but I'm only get about 10MB/s at most. Surely this should be quicker - can anyone suggest a way to speed it up?
Thanks,
Tom

Try turning off the AirPort card on your MBP just in case it is attempting to connect to the TC wirelessly.
