Update 7.3.1 causing more problems than solutions?

I'm not sure what the new update was meant to do but once I updated to 7.3.1, my transfer rate lowered drastically
I used to have 4-6 MB/s originally before the update
But on the same day, once I updated it and nothing else changed, it lowered to less than 1 MB/s
Can someone tell me what's so great about the update and if I could downgrade this machine?

Change your wireless channel, 9 or 3 are usually good. What kind of internet do you have, you may need it in bridged mode. Your issue is issolated to your network if you had two of them with issues because mine works fine and so do about 990,000 more. Hard reset the base station, use WPA2 encryption, channel 9, and disable both SNMP and configuration over WAN. All of these settings can be easily found within Manual setup if you play around a little... or just call AppleCare, the mac genious's are there to help to. See if it has the same problem in a different environment, I'd bet it has something to do with your settings, possibly a double nat.

  • Is Live Update helpful yet, or still more problems than fixes?

    Hi
    my 180 has been running decently for a while now.  The only thing that still makes me want to hang myself is this asinine problem with the sound card occasionally disappearing, requiring an unplugged reboot.
    I shut off live update a while back because it seemed to create more problems than it fixed. can anyone confirm whether there is anything in there that addresses the sound card issue?
    Also, there appears to be a new BIOS featuring an option to "Enable USB Keyboard Latency".  I am currently using a wireless USB keyboard and mouse with no problems.  Do I care about the new BIOS?
    Here's my current version info (mine on the left, MSI's on the right)
    BIOS-   3.3      3.5
    Live VGA Driver-   4467      6681
    all other are up to date with live update.  I have been very gun shy about letting it update these, since it seemed to cause so much trouble over the summer.  Can anyojne shed some light on whether these updates are necessary?
    tia!

    okay, i guess it is a deluxe model. i initially thought the deluxes were the ones that could run dvds in hifi mode.
    anywho, it finally lost the sound card again.  it was an interesting feeling being excited about it for once, because i could continue this thread.
    the speaker icon in the taskbar disappeared, and the nvidia drivers vanished from "sound, video, and game controllers"  device manager (both nforce codec and nforce processor). msi live update doesn't find anything new, but just for giggles i clicked "update driver" from the properties tab on both, and windows was able to find new drivers.
    at this point, i assume that noone has found a solution, so I'll keep updating this thread for those who are fellow sufferers.
    Another thought on the heat issue, the outside temps hit 66 degrees fahrenheit today (who said january?), so i wonder if that raised the temp in the cabinet just enough?

  • Why have Apple iCloud a solution that causes more problems than it solves?

    Dear All,
    Steve Jobs once said that the launch of MobileMe wasn't Apple's Finest Hour" I have a sinking feeling that with the captain absent the ship has begun to drift off course. Why has iDisk been dropped, why has Syncing accross your macs been discontinued, why has there been so much talk about icloud when all it really has done is added Music and Photo syncing (thanks for solving that problem) and dropped all of the other useful features...... having to use a combination of Flickr, Dropbox and Youtube seems ridiculous given the solution was already there..... why not apply some apple brain cells to those services and make them work correctly and keep them.... all of the other 3rd party apps have proved extreemly popular, why not open up these services and make them viable as apple services, icloud has been one step forward and three steps back......not to mention the less than seamless transition from one to the other, lost calendars etc etc.
    A very dissapointed, teatering Apple Fanatic.
    J

    So you're one of those people who looks at the world and wonders "Why"
    So we are in agreement then that syncing is less complete in terms of the services you've listed than before.
    You're wrong about the last point; I did follow the instructions and made my backups (luckily) then iCloud decided to delete 2 of my calendars after I did the migration..... Nothing is impossible; don't be naive.
    Let me ask you a question: If you sat down with a blank canvas, is this what you would have created as a solution for Apple?
    I am very disappointed with what it is and more importantly what is could have been and isn't.

  • HT2509 Why has apple not ditch font book yet? The software causes more problems than it is worth using.

    How can I ditch font book and remove from my computer? It causes nothing but problems and I prefer to use Font Reserve which runs smooth on my Macbook Pro with Retina.

    iOS4 has been working fine for me.
    What troubleshooting have you done?
    As far as the app, have you contacted the developer to let them know that their game crashes in iOS4?

  • Don't get the iOS 4 upgrade, it causes more problems than it is worth.

    -5 minutes ago I was on facebook and my friend called me. I answered the call and then about 15 seconds into the conversation the call crashed and it brought me back to facebook, and the phone marked it as a missed call in the log as if it never occured.
    -I tried to go to my texts and the layout of the text interface loaded but the texts did not, ended up having to restart. It still takes almost 5 seconds to load them.
    -Tried to play TD Zero and the App just kept crashing. Had to restart. This has never happened before with this app.
    -Going between different email accounts lags so bad now it's not even worth the time it takes to use it.
    -Pushing home button lags alot, as does going between App menus
    -Phone froze while I was on Safari just now, tried to press home button and lock the phone, took about 30 seconds for it to "catch up" with itself. Ended up having to do a hard reset.
    This all really does make me want to upgrade to iPhone 4, so I guess Apple accomplished their mission..

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery.  Just the icon.
    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
    - What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

  • How can I revert to the prior version 9pre-3.6.13 update of firefox, as the new oone is causing more trouble than it's worth?

    The 3,6,13 update has disabled real player and occasionally locks up my mouse while in firefox. I don't see the advantages of the update if it's causing this much trouble with other software.
    ''locking as a dupe - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/771591 ''

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

  • Update 1.01 has caused numerous problems

    I have read about people having problems individually, but I can't believe all that is wrong with my phone after updating my firmware last night.
    The first thing is my AC charger no longer works. Makes no sense why it shouldn't. I have read about the issues with the AC bricks, but I am almost convinced it has something to do with the update.
    None of the sounds work now, and the behavior of the iPhone when plugging in and removing the headset is erratic. Basically, no sound comes out of the speaker for anything, keyboard clicks, speakerphone, music without my headphones attached, etc.
    Also, I can't hear anything from the receiver when making a call, so I have to use the headphones right now to be able to hear the other end of the conversation.
    I have tried power cycling, rebooting, sticking the headphones in and removing them repeatedly, and whatever else was recommended in the other threads. I will try restoring when I get back from my trip (which unfortunately am leaving on today), but until then, what else can I do?
    THIS *****. I need to use my phone, obviously. Nice update. I should have left 1.0 on there.

    Nice update. I should have left 1.0 on there.
    Now logically, if the update were responsible for the failures on your phone, everyone who updated would be having the same problem. These discussions would be stuffed with threads identical to yours, and there would be no-one saying the update fixed one thing or another, as there have been since it was released.
    It is obviously not the update from which you are suffering.
    That isn't to say you don't have a series of problems, but drawing the wrong conclusion can only lead you to approaching the process of fixing the issues the wrong way.
    -Power adapter: first test that you can charge via USB to ensure the phone itself isn't faulty. If you can, take the adapter to an Apple store or call Apple. If you can't get it to charge via USB, take the iPhone to an Apple store or call Apple.
    -Sounds: As said, plug and unplug the headphones a few times in rapid succession. Many who have reported the same issue have resolved it this way.
    -If sick of trying the fixes and finding they don't work, take your phone to an Apple store or call Apple - in either case to report the problems and ask for assistance in resolving them. They will either help you fix them on the spot, or tell you the options for returning your phone for repair or replacement.

  • Update 7.1.1 causes a problem?

    My iTunes also refuses to     access iTunes store (no errors it just doesn’t work).
    Sometimes I can get past the     backup issue by cancelling the back up and letting it sync, but no it won’t     even let me do that it freezes and crashes before it can even transfer my purchases.

  • Update to Excel 2013 causing a problem with Sage 500 ERP import feature

    I work in an accounting office that relies heavily on importing data from Excel into Sage 500 ERP accounting software.  We recently began updating from Office 2007 to Office 2013.  Now we are running into a
    huge hurdle as we find Excel 2013 no longer supports MDI, and has moved exclusively to SDI.  This is a problem for us, and here's why.
    Sage 500 has a "Data Porter" command which launches Excel, but opens a blank workbook in Excel.  After triggering the Data Porter, we open a previously saved Excel workbook containing our data, select the "Add-Ins"
    tab, and click the appropriate button to begin the import.  In Excel 2007 this works because the workbook with the data opens in the same "window" as the blank workbook.
    In Excel 2013, the workbook containing the data can only be opened in it's own new window which has not established the line of communication with Sage 500's Data Porter, and the import function is not available.
    So far the only workaround we have found is to right-click on a tab in the file containing the data, click "Select All Sheets," then "Move or Copy" them to the new blank workbook.  The import into Sage 500 is successful when
    we do that.  However, we need to save the workbook with the updated import information returned by Sage 500, so we must also do a "Save As" for the new workbook, assigning the same file name as the original data file, overwriting
    it.  This makes what used to be a simple procedure quite cumbersome, and we fear the risk of data loss may be significant.
    Is there any way to make this process work the way it does in earlier versions of Excel that support MDI (Multiple Document Interface)?

    Is there any way to make this process work the way it does in earlier versions of Excel that support MDI (Multiple Document Interface)?
    At a glance, it seems the answer might be...No.
    Note                  
    There is no MDI compatibility option in Excel 2013.
    From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn251093.aspx
    You should contact Sage, to see if they have solutions/suggestions, but I think it will require Sage to re-develop the Dataporter Add-in ?

  • More problems than it's worth

    I have no idea what to do with this laptop. I don't even know where to start. Windows hounds me to download their pricy security software CONSTANTLY. I can rarely stay on the internet for more than five or ten minutes before the whole thing re starts itself. every time I try to click a link I get re directed. help...

    Hi,
    It sounds like Windows is messed up quite bad.
    What Operating Sysem are you running? Also, when you turn the laptop on, straight away press the Lenovo Care button and your computer should go into the lenovo recovery partition. Follow the prompts, and you will be able to restore your computers factory settings.

  • 10.5.4 seems to have more problems than previous versions

    i am experiencing a lot more crashes of adobe photoshop (still on cs2) after the installation of leopard 10.5.4. this is very frustrating - random functions start spinning for minutes and then crashes the application. this happens now several times a day.
    there are also evidently new issues regarding wireless connections.
    anybody who can share these experiences?

    CS2 is not rated for Mac OS X 10.5. Consider yourself lucky to have been able to run it on any version of 10.5. You were living on borrowed time while it still ran while you were updating it. CS3 is needed for better (it still isn't perfect) Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility.
    As for wireless issues, there have ALWAYS been wireless issues. People just don't know how to isolate them. They have nothing to do with the updates. Data files get corrupted, and make them appear to happen during an update, only because an update expects a healthy system to begin with. If your system is not healthy, don't upgrade until it is healthy. Updates are only for adding new features. They are not there to fix "issues". You need to troubleshoot issues before applying updates.
    See my FAQ* on various WiFi issues which have appeared through the ages:
    http://www.macmaps.com/WIFI1048.html
    See Adobe's page on Leopard compatibility:

  • I use osx 10.5.8. Will the iTunes update 10.2.2 cause me problems?  Should I download it or not?

    I've had problems with software downloads making certain programs unusable.  Is iTunes 10.2.2 ok for me to download on my macBook Pro using osx 10.5.8?  I can't seem to find the specifications for minimum system requirements for that download.

    Hello Aralyne,
    You will have to update to Snow Leopard in order to connect with App Store.
    Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
    Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.       Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    Note.  You can now buy Snow Leopard from the Apple store on line again.
    In USA.   Go to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
    In Europe or otherwise … call your National Apple Helpline.  Find it at … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    In the UK …   Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)        Price is currently £14.
    Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then run software update.
    From this point onwards you can use the App store.

  • Mac OS X 10.6.3 Update says it needs much more space than the download size

    I used the combo update it weighed in at 784MB
    Software update is that delta? said i think I needed 744MB
    Ok here is the thingy when I installed the combo after clicking the disc image and agree to all licencing etc stuff it asked destination etc it said that 1.47 GB will be installed I thought the file was 784MB
    Is this normal?
