V e e e r r y S l o o o o w Movie Rental Download Speeds

My setup: In my home office is a cable modem connected to my locally owned and operated ISP's coax feed. It's a city operated fiber network (Ashland Fiber Network), not a ComCast/Charter/Verizon conglomerate. The modem is connected to a Time Capsule (500 MB) via ethernet. Also connected to the Time Caspsule via Ethernet is a 2.4 GHz 24" iMac. The Apple TV is in my living room about 30' away through one wood-frame wall.
I get consistent >8 Mb/sec download speeds from Speedtest.net both on my office (Ethernet) iMac and on my MacBook via 802.11g while sitting next to the Apple TV in my living room. The Apple TV shows 5 bars on its signal strength meter, and is running the latest (2.02) software. I have the Airport Utility setup to run 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) so that it'll work with both the Apple TV and my 802.11g MacBook. There are no 2.4 GHz wireless phones in my house, and no other WiFi devices connected. There are several other WiFi networks within range in my neighborhood, but I use WPA2 Personal security to isolate my network.
My problem: I have tried only 1 SD movie download. but it took 37 minutes to reach "Ready to Play," and then choked after playing for 56 minutes. So rather than wait for more of the movie to download, I went to bed and watched the rest of it the next day. I've rented 2 HD movies, the first download notice told me that it would take 13 hours to be ready to play, and the next said 11 hours. Both times I just went to bed and watched the movie the next day.
Trailers generally take anywhere from 2-5 mins. to begin playing, and they almost always choke after about a minute and have to download more to continue playing. They play much faster on my iMac when downloaded from Apple's Quicktime site, though I can't be sure if different servers are involved there.
This scenario does not jibe at all with what Apple tells me I should expect from the Apple TV, nor with what I read about here on the Apple Discussion boards.
Things I've tried: 1) Changing the WiFi channel from Auto to a discrete channel--I've tried four different channels now. 2) Switching to 802.11n only--both at 2.4 GHz and at 5 Ghz. 3) Unplugging and removing the batteries from my 5.8 GHz wireless phones. 4) Moving the Apple TV a 6' HDMI cable's length away from the TV and sound system in my living room. 4) Resetting everything several times, even once back to 2.0 before reinstalling 2.02. 5) I even unplugged the microwave in the kitchen. About the only obvious thing I haven't yet tried is stringing an ethernet cable from my Time Capsule to the Apple TV because I don't have one that long and would rather not strip down my entire setup just to test that. But it looks like I'm going to have to.
I've had four conversations with Apple tech support, the last one after being bumped up to level 2 support. They had me do (among other things) a 100-ping test using Network Utility between the my iMac and the Apple TV--no dropped packets and the network speed was, according to them, well within spec. When I told them all the other stuff I've tried, they had no suggestion other than: "Something is interfering with your signal."
I took the Apple TV to my local Apple Authorized Dealer (the nearest Apple Store is 300 miles away). It checked out fine and ran great on their network. I got to try downloading a few trailers there and they ran almost instantaneously. Now, they informed me that their network runs at ~15 Mb/sec, but they also have about 30 computers hooked up to it.
Anyway, I read here that almost all of you are seeing much faster download speeds on your Apple TVs, even those of you with DSL. And it seems pretty clear that I'm experiencing some sort of interference here, but can't seem to locate the source. So, my question is: What other possible sources of interference might I be getting, and how might I go about locating them?

How does downloading via your iMac respond?
I haven't tried downloading a movie from iTunes to see if there's a substantial difference, and you can't rent HD movies from iTunes, only SD. Trailers download faster, but there's no telling if they're coming from the same servers as Apple TV's trailers (nor if iTunes movies are, for that matter).
I'm quick to blame the time capsule and time machine. Similar to your problems with AppleTV, I've never had time machine work properly. All it does is suck up all my resources while taking days to do anything.
Unlike some, I've had zero setup or operating problems with my Time Capsule. Works like a charm and doesn't seem to slow anything down on my iMac as far as I can tell.

Slight problem with threads....

Hello,
Just started learning threads a few days ago.. my objective is to move an oval from left to right, then right to left, back and forth and so on.. however, it wont work, the source code i have below seems logical, but it doesnt fulfill my objective..
// The "MovingCircleUsingThreads" class.
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MovingCircleUsingThreads extends Applet implements Runnable
    int x = 0;
    Thread t;
    public void init ()
        t = new Thread (this);
        t.start ();
    } // init method
    public void run ()
        try
            while (true)
                repaint ();
                Thread.sleep (20);
        catch (Exception e)
    public void paint (Graphics g)
        int speed = 10;
        Dimension d = getSize ();
        g.fillOval (x, d.height / 4, 50, 50);
        x = x + speed;
        if (x + 50 == d.width)
            speed = -10;
} // MovingCircleUsingThreads classI think the paint method is wrong, but it all seems logical.. x starts off in the left side, moves to the right side by 10, when x + 50 == d.width, the oval is at the right edge, and speed = -10, so it should be moving to the left by 10, but instead, the oval disappears.. :( can anyone help?
public void paint (Graphics g)
        int speed = 10;
        Dimension d = getSize ();
        g.fillOval (x, d.height / 4, 50, 50);
        x = x + speed;
        if (x + 50 == d.width)
            speed = -10;
    }

public void paint (Graphics g)
int speed = 10;
Dimension d = getSize ();
g.fillOval (x, d.height / 4, 50, 50);
x = x + speed;
if (x + 50 == d.width)
speed = -10;
}So you are setting speed to -10, and then you are
leaving paint?
Can not see this having any impact on processing...Im setting speed to -10 because I want the oval to go left.... But it wont, after the oval goes from left to right, it disappears..
Try changing the following:
if (x + 50 == d.width)
speed = -10;to
if (x + 50 >= d.width)
speed = -10;
Tried changing that before, oval disappears after it goes to right side :\

You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

My phone wont let me download apps

I tried updating apps on my iphone. When I click update all it acts like it's going to download. Then it tells me there's an error. I put in my billing information but it still won't download them. I don't know what to do.

What is the error?

Jabber Options - Phone Accounts - Voicemail -- "Spinning Wheel"

Been trying to resolve a nagging issue.   We currently have CUCM 8.6.2-20000-2, CUPS 8.6.4-10000-28 and just put up Unity Conn 9.1. Jabber Win clients are 9.2(1).   Several people have not been able to integrate voicemail into the Jabber client.
We are totally MS AD integrated.   In CUPS, I had Applications -> Cisco Jabber -> Settiings Credentials Used For Voicemail service set to CUPS so the user would not need to supply credentials. To help me debug, I went and changed this setting to "Not Set" so that the Phone Accounts option appears in Jabber 4 Win client.
So far all the people who do not work access the Phone Accounts setting in the Jabber client see the "Spinning Wheel".   They can't see the fields to enter their AD creds and the voicemail server.   Reinstall of the client does not seem to help. There seemed to be a bug that described this but I think it was fixed in 9.1(2). You can't display the Bug description because it contains proprietary info.
I have attached a screen shot of my Jabber Client Phone Account -- when I enter the credentials, I log in fine.
Anyone seen this or know how to fix?
TIA --- Perry

Well, I had TAC look at this issue. Short story is that it was an issue with one of the *many* local cache files which hid the real source of the problem. I actually had the Mailstore misconfgured in CUPS. I used the Exchange server's CAS IP instead of Unity Connection.   We created new Mailstore definition that used the Unity Conn IP's, created a new Voicemail Profile and associated the user to that profile.   She worked....
I deleted my all my Jabber for Windows local cache files and I then received the "spining wheel" issue. I moved my ID to the new Voicemail Profile with correct Mailstore and I could connect fine.   TAC spent an hour pouring through files on my PC and could not find the reason why my ID was working.   TAC indicates that in 9.x, a lot of this configuration moves to CUCM and hopefully cuts down on these issues! PRT files from the Jabber client really did not assist them in locating the problem.
Hope this helps....

Three movies I bought from iTunes this morning do not show up on the 1st Gen AppleTV.

I understand some file formats are not compatible with AppleTV (1st gen) but these films were purchased directly from iTunes. One would assume they are formatted properly to work on Apple equipment, yes? Previously purchased movies show up on the AppleTV just fine, so I'm not sure what's going with these three. They were from the $4.99 Sci Fi collection: Enemy Mine, Dune and Terminator 2. Oldies but goodies. The iMac, where the iTunes Library lives is used to stream the content to the AppleTV, and everything that is in my Library appears to be available for streaming, except these three films. Any advice?

I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
Unbelievable.

Downloads to wrong folder

Hello,
When I sync music or podcasts onto my ipod nano (4th generation 16 GB) from my powerbook (OS X 10.4.11) using itunes (9.0.2) it appears, on the summary page of itunes, to be downloading into the correct blue audio folder however once the ipod is ejected no music or podcasts can be found. Once reconnected and on the summary page of itunes, the downloaded files appear to be in the incorrect orange 'other' file.
I have reset and restored the ipod several times. I tried to run disk utilities and got the following message: "Repairing disk failed with error Could not unmount disk"
Can anyone help me? Please?

A simple solution found after many many hours of painstaking troubleshooting:
the problem seemed to be with itunes
trash itunes from the application folder
re-download itunes from apple website
restore ipod in itunes menu
after doing the above I was able to successfully download music again! Previous attempts to restore the ipod failed to solve the problem probably because of an issue with my itunes software.
I hope this saves other people all the time that I lost in the process!

Iphoto crashing after using mini-dvi to video adapter

Hi, IPhoto on my Macbook is crashing. I can open it, then as soon as I scroll down it locks up and I have to force quit.
This started happening right after I used a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter cable to hook my macbook up to my TV. The adapter/s-video connection worked and I was able to see the video on the tv. But iphoto immediately locked up the computer when I went to slide show and now it locks every time I open it.
Any ideas?
Thank you:)
Dorothy

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices. Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Cannot open and update IPhoto after upgrading to OXYosemite

From the App store, I downloaded and installed OXYosemite. There are 2 more updates available: iPhoto and iMovie. When I try to upload them, the notice I get is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
I have 2 apple IDs when I inquire about my ids. Signing in App Store with either of them, doesn't resolve the problem. I get the same notice. iTunes, Mac, mobile downloads, all use the same apple IP, only for the computer downloads from App Store isn't working.
What should I do?
Thanks, Sev

I have the same problem and can't find out how to correct it. Unable to update iPhoto or iMovie .. I get the same message as above user. Help!

Timeouts and "cancelled" notifications...

Greetings,
We are using the standard (unmodified) version of the iExpense workflows (11.5.5 on Windows, WF 2.6.1), and have a curious and annoying problem...
1. User submits expense report
2. "Approval Request" notification times-out (after 5 days)
3. "No Response" e-mail notification sent back to original user.
4. "No Response" notification times-out (after 7 days)
5. NEW "No Response" e-mail notification generated, and sent to original user.
6. OLD "No Response" notification cancelled automatically.
7. "CANCELLED: No Response" e-mail notification immediately sent to original user.
8. Same pair of notifications generated one week later (new "No Response", plus "CANCELLED: No Response" notification referring the previous week's notification), and again a week after that, and so on...
This is maddening to our users who miss the first message, because (after that first week), they are getting PAIRS of messages every week (only seconds apart) that seem to say to them...
Message #1: Hey, there's a problem!!
Message #2: Oh, never mind, no problem at all.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you handle it? Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!! -- Tom
[email protected]

Hm. I've confirmed 2396373 is the patch number. Here are the steps I used to locate the patch on MetaLink:
1) Click the Patches button on the MetaLink navigation menu.
2) In the Patch Download page, enter 2396373 in the Patch Number field.
3) Click Submit. This should display the platforms where the patch is available.
Could you try one more time with these steps and see if you can access it this way?
Regards,
Clara
Thanks for the feedback.
I searched MetaLink for both the specific patch number you gave, and also the phrase (description) you gave - with no results on either search. (???) Is this patch only visible by requesting it with a TAR, or by some other means?
Please clarify, or double-check the patch number. Thanks a bunch!! -- Tom

Help my safari doesnt open and gives me a crash report

help my safari doesn't open and gives me a crash report ever since i downloaded a file from the internet. I have a macbook air (early 2014) with running os x yosemite version 10.10.1

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Open DNS follow-up report

Interestingly, after a very positive experience by adding the open DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, I found today that every time I tried to open Safari it knocked me offline. So I've now resorted back to the number originally assigned to me.
What's going on with Safari?

Jake,
One Verizon DSL account; one Westell 6100 modem
Check with Verizon and find out what the max download / upload speeds should be.
If this is the plan you purchased: http://www22.verizon.com/residential/highspeedinternet/
*"And we’re constantly looking for ways to make our DSL faster—recently upgrading our Starter plan to 1 Mbps* download and our Turbo plan to 7.1 Mbps."*
1 Mbps download / 7.1 Mbps is hardly high speed.
You can check your upload/download speeds here. http://www.speedtest.net/
To realize faster download and uploads speeds you would need to upgrade your service.
This is more then just a DNS issue.

Open and Cleared Items

Hi all
We are currently busy finalising our FI-CA BW Data Modeling exercise - and in process to complete Dataflow documentation.
We will make use of the standard open and cleared item extractors with enhancements on different levels. Some background on the requirements:
- We will have to extract document types, divisions, dates, clearing reasons, contract account, Business Partner etc.. information to meet the requirements.
- We will have to keep history for at least 26 months to produce the required management reports (very high number of data), and 'partition' the cubes on date level for both Cleared and Open Items.
- Most of the reports display 13 months worth of billing/ payment figures. I.e. the report for the end of October show billings vs. payments for October 2006, September, August, July, ... to October 2005.
- The requirement is that the report figures will not change from one month to the next (i.e. if I run the report for end of October - all figures from October 2006 to Oct 2005 will remain the same when I run the report for end of November). I.e. if reversals, transfers, returns etc. occur - these will be picked up in later months.
- For the above requirement, we are looking at extracting open (end of month) and cleared items (for the specific monthly interval) on a monthly basis, and appending the data in the cubes. We will then always base the June figure in the report on the June month extraction (LAUFD/ LAUFI fields) and we will pick up any movement in the next month/s - i.e. July.
Has anyone had these types of requirements before - to report on billings vs. payments, and report on history as described above. We would appreciate it if you could share your report requirements, and also design documents, especially the DataFlow documentation that we can look at as input to our design.

We had a requirement to retrieve "aging of receiveables" by customer. Basically, it goes thru each record and depending on the due date places the amounts in the following buckets (example). 0-30 day Overdue, 31-60 days Overdue, 61-90 days overdue, 30+ days overdue, 60+ days overdue) etc all the way to 6+ years overdue.
There are also cooresponding buckets for coming due analysis. For example, what is: 0-30 days coming due, 31-60 days coming due, 30+ days coming due, etc...
To do this, first I needed to be able be able to produce an open items statement at any given time in the past. Now, this seems impossible because of how the items go from open to cleared all the time. And an item that was open one month ago, may not be open anymore.
What I did was first remove any selections on item status. Then compare the posting date with teh key date in the past, if the posting date is less than or equal to the key date, keep the record.
Then compare the clearing date with the key date. First, keep all that are #. (This keeps all records still open from that posting date/key date)
Then, add another check for all items that were cleared after the key date (GT Key Date). This gives you the open items on that date.
Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you want clarification.
