The recent upgrade caused a massive download of about 4.5 gb about half of my monthly bandwidth. what gives ???

up until the last upgrade I had no problems. With the upgrade there is a slow down on some sites going to different pages.
I checked and there was over 4.5 gb of data downloaded to my computer. I am using Dishnetwork as a provider. That download used up about half a months worth of data from Dish. How do you compensate for that.
I had no trouble with the previous version of firefox but I don't appreciate that kind of loss.
Please advise.

here is a screenshot of the download history I use the utility Networx monitor for keeping track of my net usage. Over a period of a month I havew 10 gb available from Dish network.
as you can see over a 13 hour period close to 5 gb of data downloaded. why would I do something like that with 10 gb available for the month????
As I remember the download of the update was something like 15 mb but I expderienced a long delay of getting back to the net and there were slow downs visiting newssites such as rawstory , msnbc, and truthdig.
I can revert back to the previous version. but is do I just suck up the loss of data.
I amgetting stuff such as porno , cooking , building videos and a lot of crap I certainly did not personally access.
all of this only after the upgrade.
I am really really upset.

  • HT1349 how do I undownload the recent upgrade?  i lost all my stuff from the downgrade and did not know I needed to back it to my computer

    How do I undownload the recent upgrade I did to my iPad?  I didn't back it and lost all my stuff.

    You can't downgrade the iOS.
    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free. If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup (have you not got an old backup that might be of some use ?) and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.
    ibooks can also be re-downloaded for free, and, depending upon which country that you are in, possibly music and tv shows and (in the US some/all) films.

  • Problems with opening iBA books after the recent upgrade.

    How many folks have had problems opening .iba books after the recent upgrade??
    I did !  I completed and delivered a free book which was No: 9 in series - all the others opened OK in iBA after the upgrade except this last one.
    I read the forum, none of the offered solutions worked for me.
    I contacted support and was eventually asked to upload to there server the original .iba file which I did a few days back.
    Today I had a reply to advise they had found and corrected  the probem and gave me  server access info to download a revised file.
    The problem turned out to be the "Intro Media" I had dropped an image and not a video, which I have done before without probelms.
    Apple support have removed it and the book file opens OK.
    I dont know if this will help others who had problems opening files in iBA after the update.
    It does seem as though the delivery of content acceptance critera is getting tighter or maybe its my own fault for doding the requirements!

    Its seems like the application load may have not completed properly or there were some issues.

  • Anyone have any solution to problems with iphone 3G not sending or receiving email after the recent upgrade?

  • Following the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer operate. How do I resolve this issue?

    Having installed the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer work. How do I resolve this problem?

    Sometimes when problems pop up for no apparent reason it could be that the preferences files had become corrupted. Here are two ways to reset the preferences.
    1. The reset process might be built into your PSE version, as shown in this video:
    How to Reset Photoshop Elements Preferences - YouTube
    2. If your version does not have the reset option,  press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift (Option-Command-Shift on Mac) immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical; you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop asking if you want to delete the settings file?  Click  YES.
    Let us know if either of these works for you.

  • After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    HI
    After the recent upgrade to ios 8 ipad air has no audio coming out

    I had the same problem until tonight. Played with ring tones, do not disturb, volume, and everything else posted. What I found is that when you go to sounds/text tone, there are two types of tones in the scrolling menu. The top set of tones are for alert tones and the bottom set are ringtones. They are separated by a gray bar that states their purpose. Many of the tones are the same name. You need to set your text alert in the Ringtones and reminders, alarms, and such in alerts. The weird thing about this menu is when you go to sounds/ringtone the menu is reversed. Mine works in locked mode or unlocked now. I have an Iphone 6 8.1.2. My problem started after my latest OS upgrade. Hope this helps.

    Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • With the recent upgrade to FF 6.0 how do we get password protection for the internet with FF back?

    When our Mac was set up we had a password protected startup for FF, so without the password you could not start it.
    With the recent upgrade to 6.0 that password request disappeared. How do we get it back?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • Since the recent upgrade all my photos have gone from Aperture and i cannot open any backed up Aperture files please help.

    Since the recent upgrade i have lost my Aperture libaray and cannot open the old one message reads you cannot use this version of the application Aperture original with this version of OS X you have Aperture original 3.2.4.
    How do i get my photos back please.

    Aperture 3.2.4 will not work on Mavericks.
    You can do as I did, either do a web search for Aperture updates to your current version of Aperture to update to Aperture 3.4.5 OR just simply upgrade to latest version of Aperure 3.5 ( from the Mac App Store) that is fully 64 bit compliant for OS X Mavericks. As long as you have registered your previous version of Aperture, the new 64 bit version will be a free upgrade.
    Be advised that if you just upgrade to the latest version of Aperture, it will update your Photos  Library, as well.
    When this happens, your old version of Aperture on older versions of OS X will no longer work with the new, updated Photos Library.
    If you still want to be able to access your Photos Library with an older version of Aperture and older OS X version, you need to make a copy of your current Photos library.
    Make a copy of your current Photos Library and put it into a folder called something like old Photos Library so you still have an older version you can still access if you need to.

  • Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long.  Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

    Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long.  Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?

    There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings  that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones..  Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.
