Trivia Question that no one yet had solved

Windows XP is on a network with Apple G5
Copying for example 50mg file from IBM to Apple takes about 5 min??? Copying from Apple G5 to IBM takes 5 sec!
Going to Apple G5 and pulling out of C drive on IBM into the Apple desktop the transfer time is also 5 sec.
The whole problem is with using IBM to transfer the files to Apple G5.
The strange thing that there is no problem with Apple G4 that is on this network!
Where is the problem? Apple tech support, Windows Tech support plus 2 local technicians could not find the problem.
Did anyone had the same thing, was it solved?
Thanks.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

As I posted in the thread mentioned above:
I have the same problem with a 2.3GHZ dual G5, new from this fall, 2.5GB ram, Gbit network with very good switch here.
On old G4 mirror doors (dual boot) 1.25GHz, 1.25GB RAM, I can transfer about 2.5GB of data from the (Panther) server to the G4 in less than 2 minutes, and that's in OS 9 !!!! I get about 1 1/2 minutes for the same files to be transfered on other G4's configured EXACTLY the same, but running various OS's: 10.2.6, 10.2.8, 10.3.3, 10.3.7, 10.3.9....
On my G5, I can't even come remotely close to that, It takes about double the time, say, just below 3 minutes. I have had the same speeds in the original Tiger that came with the machine, in 10.4.3 and in 10.4.4. I also tried switching between Ethernet port 1 and 2, no difference. I tried all kind of configurations, even displaced the comp to the location of another comp to use it's connection to the server, still no improvement. What I find amazing, is that writing TO the server is even slower tna redaing from it!!! NOTE: all the tests I tried were using the SAME 2.5 GB or so of data for each comp, being made up of a healthy mix of small and large files, ranging from about 4MB to 450MB each (no bizillions of tiny files there!), ensuring that the data copying was the only task being done on both the server and the workstation.
I have come to suspect that the problem is within TIGER, since I am the only on running TIGER here or maybe a mix of the newer G5 and Tiger, as I have not seen this on older G5's running Panther 10.3.9 here. I can't compare moving the exact same data with the other G5's because they are on a separate network (built with exactly the same components) but they seemed to be transfering data at a proper rate.
I will need to install TIGER on an older Mac for at least testing purposes, just to see if there is a noticeable slowdown on the network.
Are the G4's mentioned running Tiger as well? just a thought...
Sorry I can't test with PeeCee's here, I don't have access to any.

I am being asked security questions that i have never had to do before to download apps

I am being asked security questions when trying to download apps. I have never set up these questions so cannot answer the and even if I try no answer is accepted.
Is there a solution so I can continue to download apps?

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; in the case of forgotten answers, this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

How can I delete the first question, which is still there, that I ever asked in this community support, and that I have already had answered.

The asking of questions and responding to answers on the support pages is a bit more complicated than I think it should be. The first question I ever asked was answered by a community member, but when I go to ask other questions, that first question is still there. Somehow I bypass that at times and get another question in, as right now. But why does that first question remain? I thought I said in the answers that my question had been answered, and replied to the person who answered it with my thanks.

Hi Ideato:
I was not talking about the questions that are in the question and answer section. I mean the question that I keyed in when asked for a summary of my question in one sentence, before it ever gets posted. You are right, of course, that questions and answers from someone else can be helpful to a lot of people.

My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit

Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

Why do I never get an answer to any questions asked on this forum for years now? Why does Firefox Feedback not work? Why does Firefox Suggestion system not work? Why have I switched to Google Chrome (I can answer that last one).

I keep asking questions about problems and see them posted in the "support" forum and usually with a note about how many other users have this problem. There are never any answers or replies even though some of the number for others with the problem are huge.
As I say, I have only one answer to many questions, my last one, which is why have I switched to Google Chrome. I know the answer to that one.

I so agree with what you say and am in exactly the same position - very sad. Was strong supporter of FF but will have to move elsewhere for my browser after many years with FF

Alejandro,
Send yourself a test message and see what the response time is.
Is your e-Mail system a push type or a poll type.
If it is a polling type, there will be a delay because there is a timed polling sequences (that you can control to a degree)
In Settings/Mail look for 'Fetch' to see how it is setup.

My apple ID security questions are my problem ,, yesterday I've tried to answer them but wrong answers and I'm sure 100% that no one changed them because no one really knows about it
