Very slow download speeds on windows vista using boot camp.

Ok this is my problem. When ever I try to download something from the internet on my windows side the download goes very slow. When I go on my mac side and do the same download it goes a lot faster. So then I went to speedtest.net and my download speed came back around 5000 kbps, when I go into my windows side it goes about 500-1200 kbps. How can I get my download speeds to 5000 kbps like it is on my mac side? I have been trying this for a long time and trying many solutions. Any help will be appericated!
Thanks!

Start by troubleshooting networking.
Drivers for your Windows chipset.
Include more details as to router, firmware, what MAC you have even?
I would never disable firwalls or AV and security settings but you don't want to have two firewalls running.
Most people complain that Windows is faster and their OS X is slow.
Also, wired or wireless? you have not given us anything to go by.

Installing Windows vista using boot camp..

I am trying to isntall windows vista using the boot camp and it says IMPORTANT: back up your disk before partitioning it or installing windows. I'm not quite sure on what that means or if i should continue in the boot camp because I don't know what that means......

*"I'm not quite sure on what that means"*
It means just what it says... backup your files prior to installing Boot Camp...in the event something goes wrong.

Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

Hello,
Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion, and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks

Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

Need some help.
I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.
Thank you in advance.

Very Slow Download Speed

Hi,
I am experiencing very slow downloading speeds, when I am just normally downloading something in Safari, or downloading a torrent with upto 100 seeders.
The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s, which is painfully slow for downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb.
I have a router, connected to 2 computers, and speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s.
It seems like download speeds are being restricted to 80kb/s, so is there any way to 'unlock' full potential downloading speeds?
Any help much appreciated!
-Ollie

I think you're making the same mistake a lot of people make.
The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s
Safari reports downloads in kiloBYTES per second, not kilobits, so that 80KB/s translates to about 640 kilobits per second.
downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb
Really? 1 gigabit per second? I assume that's a typo.
speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s
therefore your downloads are progressing at about 64% of maximum. That sounds about right - you won't get maximum throughput for every download - it will vary based on server location, network load and more.

E1200 router: very slow download speeds, ok uploady got

I recently set up a new E1200 router to replace my old one. We are having problems with very slow download speeds (often <0.10 Mbps) even while the upload speeds are OK (8-10 Mbps). Our previous download speed over wifi was 10-15 Mbps.
When I first set it up, the download speed was very poor on the initial computer. After fooling around, it was fine. I don't know what I did that made it speed up. However, my wife's computer has had very poor download speeds. After rebooting my computer, the download speed has also dropped bak to <0.10. I was able to stream Hulu on my Wii just fine an hour ago.
What could the problem be?

So we could have this isolated, check how much speed you’re getting straight to the modem so we’ll have some point of comparison that from your internet provider. If through the router, you have struggles with not getting an acceptable value for download speed especially if it only happens with the wireless connection, you can try these: change the wireless channel and the wireless security on the router. If on the router, you have the channel set to auto by default change it to (3,6,9,11), just have to play around with it. Moreover, for the wireless security, select WPA2 Personal. If that doesn’t make any difference, update the firmware of the router, reset and have it reconfigured.

Why i have very very slow downloading speed on wifi on iphone5

While on wifi I am experiencing very slow downloading speed on iPhone 5. My iPhone 5 is a brand new phone, I have to wait for hours to complete a running download of about 40mb or so. Please help me and tell me if there is any solution to that. On the same wifi network I have the new iPad and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, all are working perfectly getting perfect speed while downloading but I can't on iPhone 5.

What you did was fine. Leopard is a little different to 10.4.11, but:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work, I don't know how to "unparticion" the memory I gave to Boot Camp, and Boot Camp "vanished", help...

I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
It's very new... Bought it recently...
Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
Thanks...

Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
If you installed Windows on a second disk partition: Using Boot Camp Assistant as
described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
partition: Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
as a Mac OS X volume.
To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
1 Start up in Mac OS X.
2 Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
3 Open Boot Camp Assistant.
4 Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
5 Do one of the following:
a If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
b If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.

I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

As made clear in the title:
I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
Is there any way to get around this?

What is the error? Are you following the Bootcamp instructions? Where on the "internet" are you trying to install from? Did you try downloading from here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/?

Very slow download speed on ipad 2

Okay folks I need your help. I have just installed an Airport Extreme (newest model) wirless router and a new Motorola Sufboard modem and my interenet download speed is pretty good on the pc (23-25 Mbps). However, when I run the speed test on my ipad 2 it is pathetic (.14 - .18 Mbps). My iphone 4 is getting about the same download speed as well. I have reset all devices, tried forgetting the network and then signing on again, but nothing helps. What could be causing the slow download speed on the Apple products?

Okay I got it. I went into the Airport Utility and changed the channel selection from automatic to manual and then I changed the channel to something different. There are a lot of house in my neigborhood and I guess the default channel 6 was just way over crowded. Just did another test on my iphone4 and got a download speed of 18.33 Mbps. The ipad2 yielded a new speed of 24.24 Mbps. Much better now. Thanks!

Wireless insanely slow in Mac OSX, normal when using boot camp

I have my recently purchased Macbook (White) always in the same place hooked up to my external display, one floor above the wireless g router.
However, when I am in Mac OSX 10.5.5, my network is REALLY REALLY PAINFULLY slow. It has the same reception (airport logo almost full) but Safari times out, cannot sometimes even load Google, etc. etc., making networking almost unusable in Mac OSX. However, when I use Windows XP on Boot Camp, it is the normal speed.
My other Macbooks (older versions) do not have this problem. They all have Mac OSX 10.5 installed with all the updates, and have the same Windows XP in Boot Camp. Still I think this is a software issue rather then a hardware issue because in Boot Camp everything is fine. They all have the firewall turned on. They all have the same reception. They are all (alternate) in the exact same spot.
Any suggestions?

Tried it.
I even reinstalled Mac OSX from scratch, and still the same problem.
The update from some time ago (the Airport update for intel macs) does not matter.
Restarting my router does not matter. I also get good internet reception on my iPhone 3G.
And, in Windows still OK reception.
I have also noticed that my internet download speed changes from 20kbps to 80 kbps and back again.
Repairing permissions does not matter either.
