Why do I have so many connection to Apple data centres?

My home network was a little slow tonight, so checked the traffic flow on the router.  I found hundreds of secure connection to a range of addresses, after checking, I have noted most the remote addresses are Apple data centres and all the internal addresses are from IOS devices. I have around 6 devices at home, all IOS8.
These conection are not sending large amounts of data and not slowing things too much, however I am keen to know what these connections are for.

What services do you have enabled in your iGadget?
Location? Find My iPad? Background App Refresh? Handoff? The iCloud services? To mention a few. And that's just the OS.

  • Why does BC have so many issues in the data center?

    It just seems there are site connection and email problems way too often? I just don't have much confidence in up-time promises my clients need. Is this something engineering is trying to address or are there big changes going on that are causing temporary instability?

    Thank you for your "copy and paste" reply. It is very obvious that you did NOT read my original post.
    If you had you would have noticed:
    a) I stated: "I run the default theme"
    and that
    b)I stated: "I have disabled "hardware acceleration""
    c)I stated: "changed the value for "dom.max_script_run_time" to 20 "
    (both of which are in response to the linked help article that you recommended - and neither of which did any good)
    d) I also stated: "The only plugin I use is Flash"
    (which is the latest up-to-date version and if Firefox cannot run with Flash it is of no use as a browser)
    I will try "Safe Mode" and post how that works after browsing Facebook - but it should not be necessary to do this.
    I had reported similar issues with Firefox two or three builds back (Firefox 19.0.2) then the issue was fixed for a couple of builds - and now with the release of Firefox 22.0 (on Mac) it is as bad or worse than ever.

  • Why do I have so many duplicate photos on my iPad?

    Somewhere along the line, the photos that I have on my iPad 2 got duplicated and all the event names were removed. 
    I think this happened when I upgraded to Lion and iOS 5
    If I connect my iPad to my iMac, and select the iPad, I don't see any duplicates of my photos on the iPad
    If I look at all my photos on my iMac, I don't see any duplicates either.
    Why do I have so many duplicates on my iPad (so I donb't do this again!) and is there a way to easily remove them (if I do happen to cause the duplication again!) ?
    Regards,
    Jim P.

    Use iCloud or iTunes to back up your phone. Then go online and delete all contacts from backup assistant.(it keeps them in the trash.) Then reset your phone and reload from your backup, then use backup assistant or Verizon cloud. Sounds like a lot but it doesn't take long.

  • I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive.  Several images of the same clips appear.  Is each image a valid clip?  Why do I have so many?

    I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive.  Several images of the same clips appear.  Is each image a valid clip?  Why do I have so many?

    Okay. Trash the stuff on the External Drive.
    All Movies is not a place - it's a list. Specifically its a list of all the movies on your Mac. Never interact with anything in iPhoto via these All Movies or All Images lists.
    In iPhoto select the Movies you want to move and go File -> Export. Set the Kind: to Original and export from iPhoto to this external drive.
    Then once you're sure the export has gone correctly, erase them from iPhoto.

  • Why do I have so many log files?

    I ran GrandPerspective on my iMac because my HD is pretty much full and it shows me that I have about 140 gigs of log files (about 380 files x 365 megs). That's half my HD. Why do I have so many? Can I delete them and how? I ran Onyx and Cocktail but they are still there. They are all in the private/var/log/asl directory.
    Thanks

    Yes you can delete them, but you will be asked to authenticate to do so. And it is possible that they will simply start being created all over again. This can be the result of either of two things:
    1. The asl log process itself is having a problem (it is so prone to problems that I have not updated my working drive to 10.5.6, but decided to stay at 10.5.5; I have an extremely clean install of 10.5.6 on another drive)
    2. You have some other process that is going mad and sending out continuous log notes
    For the second problem try launching Console from your Utilities folder and take a look a look at the Console log, watch it in real time and see if there are constant messages appearing, and what is sending them. Then you can start figuring out what needs to be fixed. For instance, one fairly common problem involved software installed by Canon for one of their popular scanners which constantly, several times a second, sent an error message. There are many other possible sources for such a problem.
    For problems caused by asl itself, see:

    http://www.powerpage.org/2009/01/how-topreventing_the_asl_manager_from_overrunning_thecpu.html
    If you do a Google search on ASL you'll find many similar reports.

  • Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite

    Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite? The shared list grows. Why?

    It is a bug. Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Hello shreejith786
    The iPhone does not transfer music and videos via Bluetooth. To move content from one iPhone to another, you will need iTunes or iCloud handle that. If you have purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can download them directly. The articles below will assist with getting your media to your other iPhone.

  • Why do I have so many problems streaming movies to atv from I-tunes and Netflix ?

    Often in the evenings we have so many disruptions it's hardly worth renting the movie.  Last night we rented from I-tunes the latest mission impossible and it took over 3 hours to watch a little over 2 hour movie.  My Internet connection 20 mps so I don't think that's the problem.  In another room we have Roku and have not experienced problems with it.  Does anyone know if the problem is with APTV and what can be done to fix it?  Has anyone else had the same problem?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Why do I have so many duplicate contacts on my iPhone?  I use Verizon backup assistance

    Why in the world are my contact at 14,000 and have so many duplicate contacts.  How in the world do I get ride of these contacts?  Its the stupid Verizon Backup assistance that created all these contacts.  This has occurred since I upgrade to a new IPhone

    Use iCloud or iTunes to back up your phone. Then go online and delete all contacts from backup assistant.(it keeps them in the trash.) Then reset your phone and reload from your backup, then use backup assistant or Verizon cloud. Sounds like a lot but it doesn't take long.

  • Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

    My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

    Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
    oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

  • Why do I have to keep entering my Apple ID password?

    Even when I enter an App i have to keep entering my Apple ID password.... This is very annoying so could someone help? Also, I have the iPhone 4S and version 5.1.1 so could someone please help.

    once upgraded to iOS 6, it should stop prompting for every update. as far as downloads, if there is more than an hour or two between when you make purchases, it will prompt for a password. i have not found a way around this, but at least they stopped prompting for every update!
