TimeCapsule works fast with one macbook, but slow with a macbook pro

Hey there,
i have a new time capsule 2gb, set up as a sole wireless router in my network. My macbook pro works fine with it but it needs about 3 hours for copying 40 gigabyte of data to the time capsule. Yesterday a friend came over with her macbook and was able to copy the same amount in about 50 minutes. I can't figure out any difference in the two systems. Can you help?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
You might try measuring the signal and noise levels that each Mac sees using these instructions:

One possible explanation might be that your Mac has a metal case while the other may have a plastic case.

  • Sound doesn't work with one player but does with two...

    I'm running the Win7 Release Candidate and have Flash Player 10 installed.  Today when I tried to play a video on youtube, there was sound for a split second, and then it cut out while the video continued to play.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash with no success. Then I tried opening up two tabs and played a video in each tab, and suddenly the sound was working again.  This happens in both Google Chrome and IE8.  I have normal sound in all other applications.  Any suggestions?

    is the driver for your network card up to date?  that could be a reason it will not work with the more up to date HH3
    If want more assistance from the forum members please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Apple mail sent with one account but sends with a different account

    I have 5 email accounts in Apple mail.  I have what I call my main one and many times when I take care to send FROM that one, it will land in the recipient's mailbox sent by a different account.  I have tested it different ways even going so far as BCC myself, checking to make sure it is sent out with correct one and it still ends up sending it with the secondary/wrong account.  Any ideas?  I cannot delete the secondary account as I sometimes need to use it for work.  thank you in advance. 

    I have mine set to 993... but I did not set it... all i did was set up gmail, and it worked automaticlly. That might have been the port number in Lion... i dont know.

  • Can't use iMessage with one person but can with everyone else and he can iMessage me

    So my husband has an iPhone 5c and up until recently has has iMessage turned off. He turned it back on recently and my phone hasn't figured that out yet. It still sends texts to him as SMS instead of through iMessage, yet any texts he sends to me come in as iMessage. What gives and how can I fix it?

  • Lync login issue with one domain but started working when domain is changed.

    we have two domains in lync 2013 infra.i have enabled user id with one domain but its not allowing user to login.If we change user id to other domain it start working. it seems user id already existed somewhere in lync or active directory database. can
    anyone tell how to remove complete user database so that the id can be assigned to other new users.

    Hi,
    Did the user account also be deleted or disabled in AD? Disable account is different form remove account. If you disable an account the account is still stored in AD, whenever you need to enable it you can find it. So if you only disable the account who
    leave the company, please remove the account and try again.

  • Cant click and drag with one finger, but works with 3 fingers

    Last week, my trackpad starts to fail. Thing is that i can't click and drag with one finger but if i turn on the 3 finges option, i can tap and drag without a problem Check the prefs, universal access too. And everything is ok.
    Reset pram, smc , run & fix permissions but nothing.
    Looking around the internet i found a possible hint and is related to a bad battery condition. But that post talks a physical defective battery. Mine last like 2 hours.Under the battery icon in the finder it saids tha should be replace soon.  Macbook pro late 2008. 4 gb ram , 500 gb hd, 10.7.3
    Any suggestions??

    It sounds like an accessibility feature, although I'm not 100% sure. You can explore the accessibility settings if you like, or for a quick fix you can try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

  • Somehow, I created 2 Appe ID's...1 from home and 1 from work.  I purchased additional space on iCloud with one ID, but I need to transfer it to the other.

    Somehow, I created 2 Appe ID's...1 from home and 1 from work.  I purchased additional space on iCloud with one ID, but I need to transfer it to the other.

    Having read some other posts I think I have answered my question. If I was somehow able to terminate my old (unwanted) account and Apple ID I would no longer be able to access the material I bought with that ID-  so I'm stuck. I have to learn how to manage that situation.
    This is unfortunate for Apple consumers. Life is complicated for families these days and this "rule" although it is in place to prevent cheating and fraud makes things unnnecessarily difficult for me and my family as in my niaevity (sic) with the online world I bumbled into this situation. Not everyone is out to rip off Apple - one of the worlds richest corporations- or the entertainers who market their work through iTunes.I would just like to be able to enjoy the entertainment I pay for where and when I like to on whichever computer is available to me. And I'm not terribly computer literate.   
    It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to speak just once to a real person in the employ of Apple to explain my situation to them.

  • Home sharing works with one account but not another?

    My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

    Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

  • I have purchased songs with one laptop, but I do not see them on my other laptop. Other music is there but no "Purchased tracks" Both Laptops run windows 7. Thanks.

    I have purchased songs with one laptop, but I do not see them on my other laptop. I find my older music, but not the "Purchased" songs.
    I have the two laptops authorized, out of a possible 5, so why can't I find my new songs???
    Thank you for any help.

    You probably cannot find them on the other computer because you did not put them on the other computer.
    They will not magically appear in another location.  You purchase on and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

  • Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

  • No Native Res with DVI/HDMI but OK with DVI/VGA cable on Loewe 32" LCD

    Hi there, I am a little confused about connecting my mini to my Loewe Individual LCD TV and coudl do with some help.
    I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable at enormous cost because my experience of DVI versus VGA is like night and day and I wanted to have the best possible connection to my HD TV.
    The problem is that when I connect the mini with the DVI/HDMI cable the native resolution of my TV is not available. (1366x768 or thereabouts) The only resolutions to choose from are 1920 x 1080? and 1024 X 768. Using overscan on the 1024 fills the screen correctly but looks all stretched.
    Instead I connected with a VGA cable and the correct resolution is automatically detected immediately and there is no problem at all.
    I am a little bit confused as to why it works fine with VGA but not with DVI/HDMI. The VGA connection looks OK but why compromise when you shoudln't have to?

    First of all, I am far from an expert but as I said, from my experience and after reading a LOT, HDMI cannot support 1366x768, that is why the TV goes without picture if you try. Why? I don't know.
    Now, DVI is almost like VGA, both are analog, and can support 1366x768 or 1920x1200. But since you go from DVI output from the Mac Mini to the HDMI cable, screen goes black, blue, etc, res no supported.
    That is why some people don't have problems with the powerbook and their HDTV's, and then they try with the DVI-HDMI adaptor (normally with the mac mini) and it's no good.
    The thing is, you can get 720p, 1280x720 but with overscan, so with DisplayconfigX you go from:
    1280x720 (720p)
    128 Front Porch 10
    80 Sync 5
    200 Back Porch 15
    1688 Total 750
    to
    1240x680
    128 Front Porch 19
    80 Sync 5
    240 Back Porch 38
    1688 Total 750
    for example, with this setup you get the image cut to a minimum.
    As you can see the totals are in both cases 1688 750. As soon as you don't respect this totals, like in this example:
    1366x768
    28 Front Porch 5
    80 Sync 5
    40 Back Porch 15
    1514 Total 793
    your TV won't be able to dispay the image. But with VGA the totals don't matter!!!!, that is why it works with one cable and not with the other.
    Apple should update the Intel graphic card drivers, maybe that would help.

  • Looking to replace my Mac Pro 2.1 graphics card with one that is silent with at least 2 DVI outputs (needed for audio production), any recommendations?

    Looking to replace my Mac Pro 2.1 graphics card with one that is silent with at least 2 DVI outputs (needed for audio production), any recommendations?
    Thanks

    Thanks, but are these are silent?
    Why do they cost over 10 x what seems available for PC?
    Is it not possible to flash the cards for mac?
    Something similar to a ASUS Geforce 8400GS PCI-E 2.0 512 MB DDR2 Graphics Card EN8400GS Silent/P/512M?

    I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.
