Very slow Wi-Fi with strong connection

i have a problem, i'm not sure if im doing anything wrong. im not sure if it is my phone that is the problem or the wi-fi connection at my house or what. here it is, i have very slow wifi and sometimes i turn off the wi-fi and edge is faster! i want to address this problem myself because my iphone is unlocked and i voided the warranty. although google is very fast on wi-fi, my facebook page takes around 3 minutes to load with the stongest wi-fi connection. other websites are the same thing. google seems to be the only fast website on my wi-fi connection. i believe my iphone running on edge is faster. i havent compared yet, but it seems so. i have also tryed forgetting the network and connecting back to it with the password and nada. if anyone knows how to address this problem, please fill me in! much appreciated! thanks!

Go to Mac611.com, tap on 'iPhone-related Sites' scroll down to 'iPhone Network Test' and see what your speeds are on both EDGE and Wi-Fi. What readings are you getting?

Lion very slow starting apps with Firewire 800 drive mounted. Any ideas?

Lion very slow starting apps with Firewire 800 drive mounted.
When my Firewire 800 drive is in sleep mode, when I start up an app like MS Excel or Addressbook. I get a spining wheel and a delay before the app launches. Any ideas? Never happened in 10.6.

Long shot: What format is the drive?

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?

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table. Every 1/2 - 1 hour it nearly falls back, impossible to work with. While this project must be finshed quite soon..
What the hell is the matter with this Creative Cloud. I havea very fast iMac form 2014. I closed all other programmes, even cannot listen to music now. More people with this problem??
Martien

@Martien – How complex is your table?
How many cells? Merged ones as well?
Complex formatting of texts inside the cells?
Complex formatting rules of table rows and/or columns?
Many images inserted?
If yes, and the table is running through many text frames of many pages, I fear, you can do nothing against slowness.
Nothing but: Greek text, not showing the page contents in the Pages Panel, in short: anything you can do to get better performance in redrawing of the screen.
If you have the chance to break up one big table in several parts, do that and edit its parts one after another isolated. Pehaps in different documents.
Then merge the parts in one table, if you want to flow it from page to page.

M9 Very Slow Charging Even With Quick Charge 2.0 Chargers

I have a continuing problem with very slow charging even with Quick Charge 2.0 chargers. For example last night I had the M9 plugged into a fast charger for over 12 hrs and it went from 5% battery to 87%. I checked the Settings - Battery usage history - and it displays "NO APPLICATIONS FOUND" - very strange...
Something is very wrong. I have multiple 2 amp and quick chargers all with poor charging times. I have tried each of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW1GE9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L40YJ8O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TAOEKPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HP0FOCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/
The Ampere app displays varying charger power from 15 mA to 880 mA so I don't think it is accurate.
Testing with multiple chargers point to the problem in the M9. This is maddening. Seriously considering returning the M9.
Any feedback?

Typing on the iPad 2 very slow to respond with iOS 7

Why is typing on the iPad 2 very slow to respond with iOS 7?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

Very Slow 12" Powerbook with Airport Express - 15" PB OK

Here's my problem; Our 12" 1.5 PB is very slow with Airport Express but It is OK when directly connected to the cable Modem via Ethernet. We also have a 15" PB 1.67 that works great with Airport Express & Ethernet. The 12" PB takes approximately 4-10 times longer to load Internet pages than the 15" PB. Here's what I've tried so far without success;
- made sure software was up to date (10.4.8)
- turned off the A/E security
- different A/E channels
- moved the A/E base station to another location
- a differrent A/E base station
- a Linksys WRTG54 base
- new Airport Extreme Card in 12" PB
- ran Apple hardware test on 12" PB - checks OK
- re-installed fresh OS and Apps from original install disks
- Firefox instead of Safari
- new user account on 12" PB
- re-installed original 512 RAM
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Jerry,
You're not going crazy, by the way. I have the exact same problem with my 12' Powerbook. I even tried swapping airport cards with another Powerbook. No luck. Ethernet is ok.
Any help is appreciated.

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.

Skype being very slow/shutting down with an applic...

Two days ago, my Skype began working very slowely. It is still slow, and now, every twenty minutes or so, it shuts itself down, yielding the attached error.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the newest version, and the same thing is occuring. I have no idea what to do.
(A screenshot of the error message is attached)

Hi DaddyPaycheck, apologies for the delay replying.
The hard drive is less than half full. A 500gb drive with 228gb remaining, plus 30 odd set aside for boot camp. So the drive size I expect is more than fine.
For further info I have done the following -
Re installed SL, backed up and restored files from Time Machine. Updated to 10.6.2 at moment.
Have cleared off loads of stuff that was sitting redundant and essentially gathering dust.
Used Clean My Mac to clear out all other types of bagged accrued over time.
Ran disk utility from the install disc - all fine.
Ran verify / repair permissions - all now fine.
Verify Disk (from utilities just now) - all fine.
Have unplugged all cables from back such as Ext HD / USB Ports / even speaker so that am starting / closing with only bone fide connections running.
Have "ejected" boot camp hd and closed down, still the delay.
Am at a loss to see where of what is causing this delay. I timed it again just now and at close down, I get the spinning icon for 50seconds before it finally closes, so something is going on.
Not sure if it is connected, but at start up, with the apple logo on display, I also get the spinning icon for about 20 seconds, before launching the desktop, which itself shows no signs of any problems whatsoever.
Just the shutting down that has me slightly concerned.

Parsing Very Slow on Node with 1MB of content

Hi,
I am processing and XML file that has one node that has a lengthy content string in it. The content string is actually HTML with the various escape sequences in place, but no additional XML nodes. So it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<value>
~1MB of escaped HTML here
</value>
This is very slow (several minutes) parsing it into a DOM as well as just using the SAX parser. I am using JDK 1.3.1 and have tried both the 1.4.4 and 2.4 versions of Xerces. The problem does not appear to be the escape characters since we have tried changing the node content to base 64 encoding with slower results.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
MR

Mind you, minutes for 1Mb seems extreme by any measure.
If the document is really that simple, then you can process it directly without going through an XML parser.

Very slow downloading webpages with Firefox 3.6.8; no problem with IE;

Firefox is very slow loading web pages. Was OK with the old version. This happened after I downloaded latest upgraded version 3.6.8
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after loading new version of Firefox, 3.6.8

Not only do I have the snail version of firefox but I keep getting messages that Firefox can't find the server, or that it has times out. I have had to retry numerous times. I just had a problem with FF opening a one-page pdf. After what seemed like forever, I copied and pasted the url into IE and it opened almost immediately. After I read the pdf and downloaded it, I closed IE and saw that FF was still in the process of opening the page. I loved FF,but don't have time to wait until my next birthday to view/open a site. Incidentally, my birthdate is 07/11. This is seriously hampering my participation in two online graduate courses. I have been running Win 7 since March, but not had these problems until recent updates. I even had firefox set to notify me and ask before installing updates, but it was changed to automatically install updates when I just checked. I am the only user of this computer (live alone).
''' ALSO''', when I checked update history, there is an update for (3.6.4) that shows as successful that took place on '''Wednesday December 31, 1969.''' I don't believe that Firefox existed in 1969 or Internet Explorer for that matter. I couldn't highlight and copy the info in my history, but did copy with pen and paper. This is what was showing for the 3.6.4 update:
'''FireFox 3.6.4 (20100611143157)'''
Security Update
'''Installed''' on '''Wednesday, December 31, 1969''' 6:00:00 PM
Status The update was successfully installed
There is definitely something amiss unless the creators of FireFox have mastered time travel!
Since I do not have the time to open FireFox and check here to see if a solution to these problems has been determined (based on s-l-o-w performance of FF over the past week or so) would someone email me with a link that I can access through another browser, if necessary?

APEX all page loads very very slow - Default install with 11G R1

HI,
I have installed Oracle 11g R2 on my Windows XP desktop. APEX is installed by default in 11G R2. I have tried to use APEX but it runs very slow. For example, bringing up the Oracle APEX admin login page takes to 5 to 7 minutes. Once logged in, performing admin tasks is painfully slow as well.
EM is fast, the pages come up in a few seconds. I am not sure of the exact setup APEX since it is installed by default.
Here is what I have tried so far
1) localhost:8080/{I can not remember the rest of the url}
2) ip/8080/
3) tried both IE 6 and firefox.
4) turned off the proxy server in IE options. We are on a LAN and use proxy to internet
I ran a search for a dads file on oracle home, but I can not find it. Maybe it is renamed in 11G r2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Check the value of SHARED_SERVERS, if it's set low (which it probably will be if you haven't adjusted it yourself), then you'll probably want to increase the value.
Essentially (if this is your issue) there are insufficient pooled connections available to service all the HTTP connections necessary to render your page, so you're paying a performance penalty waiting for either new connections to fire up, or for busy connections to be free'd up ready to service a new request.
Hope this helps,
John.

Very slow login/logout with Portable Home Directories

I've set up Portable Home Directories for our department so that people can work from different computers if need be (also, I think our network is too slow to use network home directories). However, the login times are excruciating - some users report average 45 minute login times. None of these users are moving huge files or anything, and even if I just log someone out (completing the sync) and then log back in, the login will be very slow.
If I disconnect the computers from the network, obviously it logs in quickly because it can't connect to the server, but I don't want to do that (or disable login/logout sync altogether). I tried removing things from the login/logout sync rules, but often the sync takes time just on 'Finishing' or 'Stopping', so I don't think that it's any particular files that take a lot of time.
On a possibly related note, for some reason our computers all take perhaps 30 seconds to get an IP address when starting up, waking up from sleep, etc. Is there any reason why the computer would need to be doing this repeatedly? Especially on logout, this wouldn't seem relevant, but I've seen that mentioned in other threads.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Greg

Very slow music download with iTunes match on iOS devices

For some time now I experience very slow performance downloading music with iTunes match on my iOS devices.
Downloading music takes ages now. Not so long ago download music with iTunes match was as fast as buying music from the iTunes Store.
I tried to restore my iPhone but nothing changed.
The download itself is quite fast but after that the blue progress bar is full and the statut is "en cours" (french) something like busy/ongoing in english . The other tracks have a status wating;
Any idea how to solve the issue?
Thanks

Same here. It seems to be better when the device has been set up from scratch. A delete and restore does not the trick. So I learned to live with it

Very slow transfer speeds with external hard drives through Firewire and US

Hi All,
My external drives transfer very slowly on my MacPro. I've been searching for answers and have turned up very little. Apple support suggested I post my issue here. Just to make a note, I measured my disk speeds with both AJA System Test and copying files between drives and reading the Disk Activity in Activity Monitor.
I have 3 external drives, all MyBook Premium or Professional, 1x 500GB, 1x 1TB and 2x 1TB in RAID 0. I had them on Firewire 400 and the RAID 0 2TB one on Firewire 800. My transfers on FW were all around 24MB/sec on all drives (much less than what I should be getting with FW400). I then read somewhere that the FW bus on the MacPro uses the slowest speed connected for all FW connections. So I unplugged everything but the FW800 Raid 0 drive and my transfer rate jumped to 40-60MB/sec. This is much better, but still about half or so of what I expect it should be producing from an external RAID 0 setup.
To keep my FW800 backup drive faster, I've plugged the other two into USB2.0. The transfer speeds on both drives are now hideous, around 10-15MB/sec. This is so slow, but I'm not sure what to try to fix my speeds.
The HD's in the external drives are all 7200rpm, and all should be transferring at a higher rate. Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Ideally I'd like to get everything transferring at rates they should be transferring at, but I'll settle with my current FW800 speed of 40-60MB/sec if I can get my other two drives transferring at a non-snail pace.
Is this a common issue? I can't believe I'm the only one plugging multiple external hard drives into their Mac Pro. I hope someone has a fix or solution for this. I'm all ears!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kappy, thanks for the information.
So I rejigged my setup a tad. My RAID 0 is still FW800, the second drive is back on FW400 on the back port, and the third is USB 2.0 on the back as well.
It's interesting to note that I saw the FW800 taking a bandwidth hit if the FW400 drives was being read/written to. For example, if I was averaging 50-60MB/sec on the FW800 drives and copy something large to the FW400 drive, each drive averages out to about 30/MB second, roughly half the FW800 speed I was getting. The USB while the slowest didn't cause any slowness on the FW drives.
Here are my Xbench results. These results are from each drive being benchmarked individually with no other drives being tested at the same time.
