Very SLOW synching and freezing and dropping shared libraries

I have had my APT for about 2-3 years now. Never had issues until about a month ago.
In the past 3 days, i have spent a lot of time on the phone with tech support. My ATV would drop my shared library from my laptop, then it would appear again, drop it, appear again, etc ....
I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the entire OS on the ATV.
But then we couldn't get the ATV to find the network. Considering my extreme station was in a different room, I bridged the network with another extreme I had on hand. My Wii and laptop in the living room pick up the signal with full strength. And the ATV shows full bars as well now.
I then tried to download the software update 3 times, and FINALLY I got it installed before it froze.
Now, I am streaming fine with my laptop, but I want to synch my Mac Pro with the Apple TV just like last time.
Now only has it taken 2 hours to synch 25 photos, it has been freezing still during the synch.
Tech support doesn't know what else to do.
Any ideas?

I don't think i have two stations streaming the same network, but my main extreme station is at one end of my condo, and the Apple TV had issues reaching that signal, so we took an Express and bridged, or extended, the network.
Now that Apple TV sees the network, but the streaming, synching issues still continue.
Oh, and when is ay we, I mean the tech support people at Apple advised me to use the express (i already owned it) to extend the network signal range.

  • Very slow synching and streaming on apple tv

    I bought my apple tv about 2 months ago and had it set up at my house and it worked perfectly. About a week ago I moved to a new area and attempted to set up my apple tv in my new place. Unfortunately, the apple tv is taking forever to synch with my mac and is extremely slow streaming music let alone movies. The internet connection I have at my new place is supposed to be stronger than what I previously had at my old place. Any suggestions?

    They're probably fine, but they're not all built alike. When I got my Devolo AV200 units a few years ago, they were considered the best, but that has probably changed, Devolo have newer versions and perhaps another manufacturer has the crown these days.
    you're probably right. but what i got works perfectly so i'm not going to worry about who has the crown for a few years.
    I suspect most of them do work fine these days, but a few years ago some were very poor if used on extension leads compared to others - wanting the best ones was about being confident it would work and not being disappointed.
    I've seen at least one manufacturer now with effectively a plug in powerline ethernet switch with several outputs
    you mean something like [this_|http://www.amazon.de/Allnet-Powerline-200Mbit-Dosenleiste-100Mbit/dp/B0032S9SJG/ ref=pd_rhf_shvl1] ?

    Yes, but without the extension lead bulk.

  • Very slow broadband and connection keeps dropping

    Hello, we have been BT customers since August 2013, after previously being Freeola customers for many years.  We live in a very rural area, at the end of the exchange so we are never going to get amazingly fast broadband, we are estimated 1MB. 
    Previously using Speedtest.net at the beginning of the year we were getting 0.9Mbps, then in May our internet dropped and we couldn't get a proper connection or speed.  We contacted Freeola who after doing some tests, said that we had a copper line failure and to contact BT.  We did this and the copper line failure issue was fixed, an openreach engineer tested the line and we assumed all was fine.  But we were still getting very slow speeds and the connection kept dropping.  So we decided to switch to BT in August, we have put up with the slow speeds and dropping connection for 3 months hoping in vain that once we got a stable line the speed would increase and we would be back to were we expected to be.
    When we are using the internet, we very often get "Your connection has been reset" errors within our browsers.
    This has not happened, so I have decided to come on to this forum in the hope that we can solve this issue before my hair gets any greyer.  We have a BT Home Hub 4 so we have not got all the stats that previous HH had available. 
    Also as we are in a rural area our telephone connection is through overhead cables and as said previously we are at the end of the exchange.
    Please see below for the information that I have been able to get:
    Home hub stats:
    17:28:52, 28 Oct. ( 68.040000) DSL noise margin: 12.00 dB upstream, 9.50 dB downstream

    Hi jacoma,
    Sorry to hear that your  having issues with your BT Retail services.
    You will either be on the ADSLMax (upto 8mbps) service or if your exchange has been BTw 21cn upgraded you maybe on the ADSL2/2+ (upto 12/20mbps) service depending on your line quality and length.
    However these upto speeds may not be the speeds you will get as ADSL broadband connections are very dependent on the distance from your property to the exchange and the quality of your line. The further away you are from your local exchange the slower your broadband speed will be.
    To enable the community to help you please see the advice below:
    Please see Keith's help guide here: Helping forum members to help you, it will go through some checks that are needed for us to help you.
    1) Are you in the TEST socket? if not can you please connect to the test socket and repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
    All the below performed in TEST Socket:
    2) is there any noise on your line. dial 17070 option2 ,called quite line test, from landline phone. should be silent but slight hum normal on cordless phone.
    If there is any noise on your line such as crackling, distictive noise when the phone is connected to the TEST socket and doing the quiet line test then you need to report a line fault to BT Retail by dailling 151. Once the crackling or disticive noise has gone then your broadband should slowly recover.
    3) please post adsl line statistics 
    4) Can you please run a BT speed test (including IP Profile) http://speedtest.btwholesale.com (not beta version)[Best done with a wired, Ethernet, connection] After Quick Test is done you need to click "Further Diagnostics" to get IP Profile.
    ADSL Line Statistic Help:
     If you have a BT Home Hub like the one below...
     Then:
     1) Go to http://192.168.1.254 or http://bthomehub.home
     2) click Settings
     3) Click Advanced Settings
     4) Click Broadband
     5) Click Connection or sometimes called ADSL (see picture Below)
    The direct Address is http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9116 (for bthomehub3.A firmware ending in 1.3)
    or http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9118 (for bthomehub3.A firmware ending in 94.1.11)
    You will need to copy and past all the adsl line statistics ( Including HEC, CRC and FEC errors). You may need to click " More Details"
     If you have a HomeHub 4 then the majority of the ADSL Stats shown in the previous Hubs will not be there.
    for HH4 users you can go to hub manager then select troubleshooting then logs and are look for 2 entries together which will show theconnection speed and noise margin for when your HH4 last sycned with the exchange.
    There are more useful links on Keith's website here: If you have an ADSL connection, please select this link

  • Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems? 

  • I am experiencing very slow import and backing up issues.

    I am experiencing very slow import and backing up catalog on exiting Lightroom. This is a very recent issue. I use RAW files.

    The type of files you are importing will have an effect on the speed of the import process. Larger files, like raw sensor files, are normally much larger than JPG files.
    But if this is something new, the slowness, and you are using the same camera with the same size files as previously then it's not just the file size.
    What type of computer and what operating system are you using.

  • Slow drive and dropped frames

    Hi help!
    I've just finished an edit using fcp 6 .. 1.5hrs long / using 3 camera multiclip .. no problems.
    I've cleared that out, and this time have a 2.5hr project / similar 3 camera multiclip, and I'm getting error messages every 10 secs, about slow drive and dropped frames!
    Nothing except for the source material (which I reloaded)has changed, so has anyone any idea of what could be happening?
    Thanks,
    P

    Pete
    I'm pretty sure the USB is the cause of the droped frames, not enough band width and USB don't manage continous flow of data like FW, it sends/receives chunks of info. They are not suitable for video editing and it will be worst with multiple streams of video at the same time.
    You must try at least a FW400 drive.
    Hope that helps !

  • Very Slow Broadband and Poor Customer Service

    Hi,
    Since April we have been having issues with our broadband line dropping the connection and terribly slow speed (around 0.4Mbs). We have had 3 engineer visits changing the master socket, home hub, filter and even work done out in the road. Each one has supposedly 'fixed' the problem, only for it to return to the very slow speeds within a week or so.
    Our fourth engineer visit was booked for this morning, and the engineer failed to arrive. I received a phone call to say BT needed to re-arrange the appointment as the reason the engineer hadn't arrived was because BT had decided that it needed to be a 'multi services' engineer not a 'external' engineer.
    I didn't even get an apology when I pointed out that I'd taken half a day off work to wait for the engineer when I could have been notified that the visit had been cancelled. Unfortunately we got cut off before I could re arrange the appointment so I called back, only to be told by the next person that in fact the reason the engineer hadn't attended was because of a BT OpenReach outage. After re-arranging the engineer visit I've now been sent 2 confirmation texts one to say they will be coming on Friday, one to say they will be coming on Monday. Hence another 10 minutes of my day calling to confirm when they would actually be attending.
    I have also been incorrectly charged the £129.99 Engineer Home Improvement Charge as a result of the 2nd engineer visit due to an ‘admin error’. This was refunded to my account following 3 phone calls (one to ask why the money had been credited to my BT bill when I'd specifically asked for it to be returned to my bank account) but it caused me to go overdrawn in the process incurring bank charges.
    I have raised 2 complaints, but no-one has contacted me concerning them (now 2 weeks and counting). When I finally lost it and called to cancel the contract I was told that as I was still in my minimum term I would have to pay £208 for the pleasure. My counter argument that for a total 3 months BT have not been providing the service we’re paying for seemed to fall on deaf ears.
    I don't run a business, but I'm pretty sure this is not how to do it...
    If anyone has any help/advice it would be greatly appreciated.

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    are you connected directly via a filter 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

  • My Atv2 is  very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

    My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

    I'm having the same issue.  Ay fixes?  Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either.  Start mirror and severe lag then just drops.  Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

  • Cisco RV 120W VERY slow performance and being unreachable

    Hello!
    I have strange issues with my RV 120W, which I bought after the recommendations from a Cisco/Linksys pre-sales support. I'm using this unit for SOHO environment with two clients (computers) connected and a few mobile clients. Nothing special and nothing complex. I replaced my WRT610N router with this one on behalf of the VPN features, the RV 120W offers.
    Before initial setup I upgraded firmware to it's latest (1.0.1.3).
    The issues I'm having with this thing are:
    - very slow WLAN performance. And I mean - very, very slow. After doing some analysis I'm having a drop from 10Mbit/s to a stable speed of only a few houndrets of kilos per second. Even less. An average, constant speed test show no more than 50-80 kB/s. And I have a 20/20Mbit link.
    - very slow WAN - LAN performance. Although not as slow as WLAN, even LAN is somehow slow with an average throughput from WAN to LAN show no more than 15Mbit/s.
    - WAN IP address - host cannot be reached. After setting up the router to be able to echo the PING and be remotely managed, I can achive both services JUST for about 20 seconds after the unit reboots. After those 20 seconds, remote management sessions are timed out and the host is unreachable. But If I reboot the router again, I get it to work again - for no more than 20 seconds.
    As this is my first (more) professional router, I'm not really sure if I've got my VPN setup correctly. I cannot get it my VPN to work either and I can't tell if these issues are related.
    Any help would be appriciated.
    Thanks

    Hey Juka,
    Sorry your having issues with the rv120w.
    I seen that you upgraded the firmware on the rv120w when you got it.  I always do a factory reset of the device when upgrading the firmware.  I will first backup my configs, factory reset the device, then reload the configs. 
    Try that since you did do a firmware upgrade to see if the device speeds up for you.
    The wireless issues you were describing, I would do a wireless scan using a wireless analysis software like INSSIDER or something like it, that way you can see the wireless channels that are being used and set your router manually to a channel that has no or the least congestion.
    Try this and let us know what you get.

  • Time Machine very slow, Safari and iTunes have to Force Quit

    Anyone else having these issues after Mavericks "upgrade"?
    Time Machine is so slow as to be ineffective of useless, symtoms:
         - takes hours to prepare and run a backup of a couple of GB to the Time Capsule, anything up to 20 hrs!
         - constantly revising the amount to be backed up, up and down
         - seems to freeze periodically ad stick part way through with no change to the backed amount for hours, then speeds up, freezes, speeds up
         - time remaining estimate alternates between "casculating, estimates of hours and seconds! wildly inaccurate
                  - it's been saying 5 seconds remaining for the last 2 hrs.
         - have done two backup verifications to check for Time Capsule problems - none
         - only two successful backups achieved since the Maverisks "upgrade" due to the time it takes
         - both Time Capsule and Airport Express have the latest firmware and software
    Coincident with this, both Safari and iTunes (the latest Mavericks compatible versions) both freeze when trying to quit them - have to force quit.  Both experience random slow downs and with the spinning rainbow beachball.
    Looks like a Mavericks problem with the Wifi and Timemachine?
    Using a late 2008 aluminium unibody Macbook with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, 100Gb of free space o the SSD.  Connecting via Wifi to Time Capsule (2TB, with 1.8TB free) and Airport Express (both n Wifi).

    Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
    In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
    Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
    Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
    Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.

  • Very slow copy and rm speeds

    I've seen other postings about slow copy processes upon upgrading to Snow Leopard. However, none of the replies seem to address the situations I am experiencing. First, copy times between my MacBook Pro (2 Ghz, 2GB, 100GBHD, 15" - the first MBP introduced), and external USB2 Lacie HD have become very slow (1 hour for 4-6 files totalling ~4GB). Curiously, sometimes the same size transfer occurs in 3-4 minutes.  I recently upgraded to SL from Tiger, and the Tiger times were in the 3-4 minute envelop. The external HD is a 1TB Poulton Lacie, with over half the disc free.  My MBP HD has about 20GB free, and only the Finder, mail, occaisionally xcode, and occaisionally a browser, (either Safari or Firefox) are running during the transfer.  The same sometimes occurs with only the Finder and the activity monitor running. The USB is connected directly to the MBP. So, in summary, the ext HD is directly connected, half empty, there is room on the internal HD, and the memory is not particularly burdened with other processes.  The activity monitor slows less than half the CPU capability being used.
    Secondly,  another problem occurs using the unix secure erase, rm -Pr.  It is very slow since upgrading to SL from Tiger. The finder's secure erase is too slow to use.
    Any thoughts about why on either?  Right now, I'm wishing that I stayed with Tiger.  Thanks.

    I suggest looking at your logs in Console.app to see if anything unusual is happening during the long file copies.
    The SMART status isn't that useful. If it says the drive is dead, the drive it dead. If it says the drive is "verified", the drive could still be dead. A good indicator of this is if file copies take an hour instead of 3 minutes.
    Is this the original hard drive in that machine? If so, I'm surprised it has made it this long. Notebook hard drives typically start failing at three years of age. You might not notice it until you do a major reoriganization of your files' organization on the disk - such as installing a new operating system.
    I compared Finder's secure erase with rm and they seem more or less equivalent.
    I think your internal hard drive is just failing. That's all.

  • Very slow insert and query

    Dear Professionals:
    The insert and query become very slow and somtimes hang. It wasn't like this before .. Network people added 100 pc to the network .. most of them not using the databse only internet and we are all in the same network .. Can this slow down the database Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 OS w2k server ? And how to know that the slowness is from network and not from query or inserts ?
    Ahmed.

    Hi,
    >>Network people added 100 pc to the network .. most of them not using the databse only internet. Can this slow down the database Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 OS w2k server ?
    Maybe yes, maybe not, maybe a network performance problem ...
    If you try to execute these DML's (insert, ...) and querys directly on the Server, what's happen ?
