Time Capsule 500G Slow Page Loads On iMac OS 10.4.11?

Recently set up a 500g Dual Band Time Capsule and everything works fine my Macbooks works fine other Macbooks work fine.
But a white iMac on 10.4.11 seems to be having problems
It has 4 bars in the wireless signal, all the green lights on the network diagnosis.
Yet pages seem to load very slow if not at all, more times than not. Sometimes will be fine.
Anything i can do with the Airport Extreme, have them as a guess or direct connect or something? To help it along?
Not sure of all the options the time capsule might have to help me thats all...
Any recommendations?
Oh and any apps that record the connection, so i can see when it drops and doesn't and see if there is a pattern istumbler do that?

There's no need for concern about the repair permissions ACL message; it doesn't affect you.
What does affect you is the fact that one of your systems is running 10.4.4 and it needs to be updated to 10.4.11. As it stands now, it's both a security risk and way out of date. You need to update it today.
If you want to run any system utilities, the only one you really need is Applejack. Since you have nothing that's super-secret, there's no point in worrying about securely erasing anything. Even if somebody wanted to do that, they'd first have to break into your Mac and have a good idea of what they're looking for, or steal it altogether to have enough time to recover the data on it and then wade through all the useless junk before they might find anything interesting. Unless you're the CIA and have something worth hiding on your Mac, that's overkill.

  • Slow page loading / Time outs

    Hi guys,
    I am getting very slow page loading times. This only started to happen today, before this my connection has been solid.
    I have reset the router, all the other PCs in my house are having the same problem. I am not running any P2P/Downloading software.
    Speedtest says I am connected at 12MBPs. It takes me a very long time to load a page and most of the time they just time out.
    Router stats -
    ADSL settings
    VPI/VCI 0/38

    Which ones are you using ?  BT have LOTS of machines providing DNS services

  • Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Will the new time capsule back up Windows on an iMac running Parallels Desktop?

    Windows home version MSBackup, cannot backup to network drives.
    That was a little bonus from Bill for those who didn't fork out for Pro or Ultimate.
    Like people with home versions would never need to backup to network drives.. oh no.. never!!
    You need to mount the hard disk in windows for it to work.
    It will help a lot if you load the airport utility for windows into your windows OS.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    Open windows explorer and type the network address of the TC.
    \\TCname.local (where TCname is the correct network name of the TC).
    The TC should have all names that are windows compatible.. ie
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule is just wrong. It is too long, it has spaces and it has apostrophe which is illegal.
    A good name for the TC is TC
    The default hard disk share name of data is fine. It should not be Time Capsule or anything again that is over long .. has spaces or is otherwise incompatible with windows.
    A good name for the TC wifi is TCwifi
    Then you can mount it \\TC
    typing that directly into the address bar of windows explorer.
    There are still issues with windows naturally and running in parallels I have no idea what other issues might come up.
    Tell me if you have issues.. but you will need most likely to check the network.
    Open a command window and ping the TC by name and by IP address. If IP address works just mount by IP.
    \\10.0.1.1 for example .. and that is the default TC IP address when in router mode.
    If you still cannot access the TC my recommendation is to use a USB drive and use that.. it is 10x easier and more reliable than mixing Mac and windows backups on the TC.

  • Slow page loads over LAN with 500GB TC

    Hello,
    Forgive me if this has already been touched on, I tried to run through the first six pages and didn't see anything that I thought matched my problem. I saw that there were reports of slow wireless speeds, but I have been experiencing problems over the wired connection to my TC
    I have a MBP connected to the TC wirelessly and a Mac Pro with a wired connection to the TC. They both render similar speeds in a speed test ~4Mbits down, but on my Mac Pro, I get excruciatingly slow page loads. Pages often take, on average, 15-20 seconds to come up at all, and some more time to finish loading completely. Meanwhile, I can load the same pages in a few seconds with my MBP over the wireless network.
    My cable coming from the TC to my Mac Pro is brand new, its at least CAT5e, and should be able to handle my down speeds without a problem. So I'm at a loss for what could be causing this. Could it be something with the computer and not the TC at all?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Well, creating a test user put me on the right path. Deleting the systemconfiguration folder did not help, but I deleted the following files out of the $user/library/preferences folder:
    com.apple.internetconfig.plist
    com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
    com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    com.apple.networkConnect.000a27b47970.plist
    com.apple.preference.internet.plist
    com.apple.PrefPane.Network.000a27b47970.plist
    Basically any preference with "Network" or "Internet" in it and everything sped up immediately. Thanks for the help.

  • How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and Power Book

    How do I transfer data from one time capsule to new time capsule when TC backs up an iMac and MacBookPro

    It is generally better to leave the old backups and start again.. unless there is something you particularly need.
    But if you desperately want all the old backups you have to copy the sparse bundles.. this will take very long time as it must copy via the computer..
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    Take particular note of the initial comments.. ie before you read how to do it.. don't do it.

  • Time capsule painfully slow wifi

    New time capsule , painfully slow wifi , cisco works lightning fast so the issue is with the TC. Looked at forums and I see it's a common isssue. Any ideas that actually work?

    Download the free  iStumbler  app to examine the strength of your connection.
    If it's not good, look for interference with another wireless device, cordless phone, microwave oven, etc.  Turn them off temporarily;  if you find an offender, move it farther away.  See  AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference  for more.
    Try different WIFI channels.

  • Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?

    Can I use the new time capsule running 10.68 on my Imac?  I thinking of buying my first Time Capsule and wanted to get the new one.  Is it reqiured for me to upgrade my OS first?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can use the Time Capsule with your iMac. The problem is that you need AirPort Utility 6.3 to set up the Time Capsule, and it needs OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can connect the Time Capsule to the power adapter, open Settings > Wi-Fi, and set up the Time Capsule through it. Then, you will be able to connect to the Time Capsule.
    If you haven't got any other device, upgrade OS X. Open the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow its steps. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, install AirPort Utility 6.3, open it in /Applications/Utilities and follow the steps to set up the Time Capsule

  • My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

    Dear all,
    I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
    I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
    Thanks fo your help.

    Hi Larry,
    Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
    But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
    It's a 1 To Capacity.
    Best Regards,
    Clémentine
    That is a bad idea
    1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
    2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
    You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for  you TM backup

  • Slow page loads only since 10.4 upgrades

    Hi folks,
    Has anyone seen a problem with pages hanging up after updating from earlier OS X's to 10.4? First my wife noticed it when she got her new Mac Book -- an upgrade from 10.2.8 on the old machine. A couple of items would load on a page, but then it hangs up and stalls for a while until finally fully loading. Ordinarily, I'd peg it as just being slow serving of ads to particular sites, but it's not always ad-rich sites. And more so, it's strange that this only started happening in conjunction with starting to use 10.4 to surf the same sites that weren't hanging up before.
    Further confirming my belief that it has to do with 10.4, is that upon my upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4 on my G5 a month or so later, I started to immediately notice slow, slow page loads on that machine, too. Particularly, again, on sites that loaded fine with 10.3 just before the upgrade.
    I'm also having more problems with mailboxes loading slowly and kicking off-line since the upgrade.
    Is there some trick to get 10.4 to behave with regard to requests across the web??
    Thanks!!!!

    me too. My mini is wired, but I have the same trouble. I have a PC on the same router, and it has no problem with internet. I've been looking around a while, and it seems like this is a common occurrence and I have not found a fix yet. This is very frustrating. Also, the network status in the network diagnostics window shows the internet failing alot, but even when it's "green" I still can't always load pages.

  • Time Capsule VERY slow ethernet back-up on my iMac

    Hi anyone who can help....I'm getting really frustrated with Time machine
    It seems quite afew people are experiencing problems with TC....
    BUT they all seem to have different issues. Mine is simple.
    As a wireless network it works just fine, last weekend i had some friends over and we had 4 laptops going at once - speed was fine
    Backing up - My G4 powerbook works FLAWLESSLY, backing up wirelessly.
    BUT...My G4 iMac (connected directly via ethernet cable) hasn't been able to do a back-up since got it. It gets stuck on preparing or takes day's (Yep DAY's) to do a few 100 MB.....
    Obvoiusly the TC is working, but not the wired connection. I can't try my iMac wirelessly, as it doesn't have an airport card
    ANY suggestions? Oh and I don't have any virus software installed

    Andrew,
    *_Slow Time Capsule Transfer Via Ethernet_*
    *Disable Anti-Virus Software*
    “Using virus scanning software can make Time Machine backups very slow. If you use Norton Antivirus 10 AutoProtect or a similar product, try turning it off during backups.” [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15140.html]
    *Create An “Ethernet Only” Location*
    While you are physically connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet you may still be experiencing slow data transfer speeds because your Airport network is still active and taking priority.
    Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
    Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
    At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
    Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
    Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
    Click “Done”.
    In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
    Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
    Click "Apply" in the lower right.
    You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
    Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
    You should still have internet access during this period.
    Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
    *Adjust Ethernet Speed*
    Open Network Preferences.
    With Built-in Ethernet selected on the left, click "Advanced" in the lower right.
    Click "Ethernet" tab on the far right.
    What is selected beside "Speed"?
    Try changing this setting and see if it makes a difference.
    Next launch Airport Utility.
    Select the Time Capsule on the left.
    Click “Manual Setup”.
    Select “Internet” from the toolbar.
    Click “Internet Connection” tab.
    Near the bottom verify that “Ethernet WAN Port” is not set to a slower speed. Either choose “Automatic” or the fasted speed available.
    If you have made any changes, click “Update”.

    *Slow Full Backup After Restore*
    Try either deleting the “old” backup disk image or copying it to another disk. Then start the “new” full backup again. Some users have experienced improved speed when the “old” disk image was removed from the backup disk.
    Let us know if this was helpful.
    Cheers!

  • IMac Time Capsule OK, Macbook Air Time Capsule Very Slow, both 10.9.5

    I am struggling for more than a week trying to find an answer, but failed, hope someone can help me out
    It seems after I upgraded to 10.9.5, a message on my Macbook appeared that I believe advised me to do a new full back-up on my Time Capsule. I did, it was slow, few MB after 1 hour or so, so I cancelled it. Whatever I tried, it remains a problem, I am now backing up 180GB to a 2TB Time Capsule, and it is at 53GB after 10 hours, now running at about 1GB/3 hours. My iMac, also on 10.9.5, connected to the very same Time Capsule on the same network runs smoothly, backing up 850GB in 8 hours or so.
    What I have done so far, that did not help:
    - Reformatted my Time Capsule completely,
    - Run Disk Utility on Macbook, Repair Disk permission, Repair Disk.
    - After Repair Disk Permissions it completes OK, but when I immediately run it again if finds the same problems, which it says have been corrected, see screenshot
    - Disconnected my iMac from the network, sticked the very same network cable in my MacBook, ran Time Machine again, no difference
    My set up:
    1x Macbook Air, mid 2002, 250GB of which 70GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
    1x iMac, beginning 2009, 1TB of which 150GB free space, 10.9.5, no anti-virus, clean-up apps etc
    1x Time Capsule 2TB, running latest firmware 7.6.4
    All networked to the same network, no wireless connections
    Prior to 10.9.5 I did not have this problem. I am pretty much lost. Anybody?

    USB to ethernet has never been great.. although why it is worse with 10.9.5 is typical quality of apple upgrades these days.
    7GB/hr sure aint fast.. it will go fairly slowly over the small files but should speed up on the larger ones.
    I would take another step.. since you have come this far..
    Check your wireless link speed. Depending on the age of the TC (yours in gen4) and the air.. you link speed should show 450mbps in the wifi on the mac.
    Check it now..
    Transmit rate should show 450.. you might need to setup close to the TC to get it.
    But I achieve that by setting different names for the two bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
    By default my mac will choose 2.4ghz .. because it is based on the best signal not the best speed. On 2.4ghz it can achieve 217Mbps max. Usually it will drop to 130. So by using a different name I can force the connection to the highest speed.
    As you can probably tell.. IMHO using auto for everything is a great way to get things to work.. but how well they work is optimised by a committee.
    Setting all the factors myself I set what I want and produce a racehorse instead of a camel.
    (It is a typical joke.. camel is a horse designed by a committee!!).
