Why does netflix load so slowly on 4g network.

I have a verizon 4g lte router. It has a very good data download speed. When I perform a speedtest it comes in higher than 5.5 MBPS. When I load from HULU it loads at about 2 MBPS. However, often when loading from Netflix, it loads at less than 50 KBPS. Any idea why netflix actually loads so slowly? And if so, any Ideas on how to improve the rate?

Hello PIequal
That's a very strange issue. Let's get this fixed. I use Netflix all the time and never see that issue so I can see how this would be very frustrating.
Which device do you have? What zip code are you in? Have you tried clearing the data and retesting?
Please let me know so we can get to the bottom of this quickly.

Why does my iPad tell me my airport network "cannot be set up by this software"

why does my iPad tell me my airport network "cannot be set up by this software"?

You likely have an older version of the AirPort router which is not supported by AirPort Utility for the iPad.
Check the model number on the bottom....if you have an AirPort Extreme.....or check the model number on the side of the device......if you have an AirPort Express.
Post back with that model number.

Why does extension loader check extension's certificate during each loading?

Hello,
We are having some problems with an expired code signing certificate.
We sell a commercial extension which is signed with our code signing certificate. Recently our certificate expired, and we started to receive reports that our extension had stopped working in CS5.
It looks like CS5 checks the extension's certificate not only during installation, but also at each loading.
This behavior looks like a serious bug in Creative Suite extension loader since all certificates will expire sooner or later, and this means that all extensions are doomed to stop working at some point, unless they are timely updated.
Why does CS5 check the certificate at each start up? This doesn't make sense at all, certificates are only used to check that the code is authentic during installation. An authentic extension cannot turn into malware after installation, so there is absolutely no point in checking the certificate after installation.
Can someone from the CS SDK team comment on this issue? This turned into a major problem for us.
Thank you in advance,

Anatoly, let me summarise my thoughts/findings on this:
- Your extension's signature is invalid now that your certificate has expired (as you have reported)
- Your extension's signature is not timestamped with a timestamp certificate. A signature without a timestamp is only valid till the signing certificate expires. A signature with a timestamp is valid until the timestamp certificate expires, typically a much longer period.
- As you can infer from this, Extension Builder does not create timestamped signatures and does not give any warning about this. Apologies that we failed to anticipate this problem during CS SDK and Extension Builder development. You will probably agree this is not good enough, and I have filed a bug (#2916071) to ensure this is dealt with in future releases.
As I mentioned earlier, extension signature validation is performed on extension load to ensure an extension's footprint has not been maliciously modified since installation. I think it is very unlikely that we can remove this signature validation for security reasons, nonetheless I've started a conversation about it internally and can let you know the outcome.
To help your users now, I think you will need re-sign and re-deploy your extension with a new certificate. So you can timestamp the signature, use ucf.jar in the Packaging and Signing Toolkitto sign the extension rather than Extension Builder. Pass the argument -tsa=<your_chosen_timestamp_server> to ucf.jar when signing and check the signature is timestamped

Why does itunes load cds in the wrong track order

why does this happen and can it be sorted cheers

iTunes imports CDs in track order, first to last. iTunes displays these tracks in your music library based on how you select your library to be viewed. For example, in list view you can select the "date added" column and see the tracks in the order they were imported (with the most recent on top). You can select the name colum and see all the tracks in alphabetical order. You can select the album column and see the tracks in album order. The album column cycles from album, to album by artist, or album by artist/year as you click on the column title.

Why does my mouse move slowly?

Why does my mouse move slow?

Check the setting for tracking speed. You'll find that in System Preferences > Mouse.
Note that tracking speed has variable accelleration associated with it; it responds to the speed of the mouse movement as well as the distance. When the tracking speed is set to fast, a slow movement of the mouse will yield an approximate one-to-one response from the cursor; but if you flick the mouse quickly, the cursor will fly across thre screen.
If you're using a non-Apple mouse, and it came with its own software, check in that control pane for a similar setting.

Why does Dreamweaver load so many fonts at startup?

On my Mac Pro I'm using Dreamweaver CS4, and FontAgent Pro for font management. When I try to close fonts I don't need or use, they seem to get re-opened whenever I open Dreamweaver; and they're fonts that aren't "web" fonts, like Big Caslon, Cochin, and Stone Sans Semi Italic. How can I tell DW that I don't want these fonts open? Does DW need them for itself?

I guess I should have been more specific. I have many, many fonts — Open Type, Postscript, as well as True Type — all managed by FontAgent Pro. By "close", I mean deactivate in FontAgent Pro. FontAgent Pro does physically re-organize and move the System fonts out of the various Fonts folders to manage them (except for System/Library/Fonts ... it doesn't touch that folder.) And the fonts that Dreamweaver requests at startup (that are deactivated, only to be activated via FontAgent Pro's auto-activation) aren't standard system fonts, nor standard web fonts. So my question is, why does Dreamweaver need those fonts?

Why does my Macbook not choose the 5Ghz network?

Hi there! Can anyone tell me why, if I have a dual band simultaneous Airport Extreme and iStumbler says I have a 58% 5 bar 5Ghz on channel 100 signal right at the top of the list of available networks and the other examples from my network are 45% and 42% on the 2.4Ghz band - then why does my Macbook insist on choosing one of the lesser signal strength networks to log in to? I am extending my network via an Airport Express in the bedroom and I think it is that which is showing the highest signal (probably as it it considerably closer than the Extreme where I am sat right now!). Just wondered, doesn't seem very dual band to me if it never connects to the better band? Don't want to force it to connect to 5Ghz as that's not required, at the moment it chooses.

Chances are that the extended network is using the 2.4 GHz radio band as this band allows for greater range. Remember that the AirPort Express can only operate in one band or the other. It is not a simultaneously dual-band device like your Extreme.

Why does Airport Express slow down my wireless network??

Hello, guys! Here I am again, seeking for help...
Ok, so here's the situation: my internet service provides me with 10Mbps. My cable modem is hooked up to a 4-month old Airport Extreme in my home office, two walls away from the living room, where I'm typing from now. Internet's wireless speed in this living room has always been about 10Mbps, barely any loss when switching my signal from cable to wireless.
I then decided to buy an Airport Express in order to extend my wireless network, since I want to work in a room far from this living room and with Airport Extreme alone I got no internet signal there.
Ok, so I installed the Express right at the living room (I can say it's pretty much at the middle of the house) and now I got full internet sign at the far room, great!
HOWEVER, my wireles speed has been cut by half!! At this very same living room where the signal was 10Mbps before I installed the Aiport Express, it's now - at the very best!- 5Mbps!! Needless to say that it's even slower at the far room it was intendend to extend the signal to, but that was kind of expected.
*But why does it cut in half my internet speed at the living room if Airpot Extreme IS delivering 10Mbps at that point of the house??* Am I not setting it up properly, how can I solve this??
Thank you so much for any help you can give me!
Cheers,
Renata

Why does netflix come up as a grey scene? I dumped the app and now when I try to load the new app and touch "install now" nothing happens

I just can not load the netflix app. I touch the load app and na da.

It appears that you have apps that need updating that were pruchased from more than one account
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Apple Mail - why does it load messages so slowly?

On my old computer, running Snow Leopard, Apple Mail loaded messages instantly.
Now, on my new, and much, much faster retina MacBook Pro, it takes Apple Mail 2 to 4 seconds to load even a text-only message.
It doesn't even make a difference if there is a large image in the message, or not.
Mail just takes forever loading.
Have you noticed the slow-down of Mail as well?

Back up all data.
Select the named mailbox in the mailbox list, then select
Mailbox ▹ Rebuild
from the menu bar. Try to delete the message again.

Why does Safari load each time I boot my computer?

I like Safari alot, but I don't like how it loads by default every time I reboot my computer. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it?
Thanks!

It starts up because you probably have it listed as a Login Item for your account. You can check that by opening System Preferences > Accounts and click on the Login Items tab and look for it. If you see it there, select it and click the minus button to get rid of it.

Why does mainstage load every instrument for an entire concert at once?

I have recently finished a UK tour using Mainstage at the centre of my keyboard rig and while I got through without any hitches, I had 30 songs to program in the run-up to the tour and almost all of them involved strings in some form or other (I use Omnisphere for this) - I ended up not being able to store them all in one master song list concert because the massive amount of memory needed by having 30 instances of Omnisphere meant that it would crash straight away. I got around it by splitting the list into two concerts but it was frustrating and slowed down the process of building sets for each gig while on tour. Also, this was a fairly simple tour to program for - if I did something else which was more intensive, I've no idea what I'd do!
I know that in the West End they use Forte on their keys setups, and I am starting to see why....however, I love the interface of Mainstage (and the fact you can use it on a Mac!) and wish that Apple would address this issue asap! A setting that allowed you to choose whether to load the entire concert into memory on startup (a definite plus given the near-instantaneous patch change times if your Mac can handle it) or just to load one patch at a time would be great.
Has anyone else found this to be a problem, and come up with any different workarounds? Is there anyone from Apple that checks these forums who could comment?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the replies guys - seems this one is a bit of a contentious issue! In hindsight I could have used the string sounds at a higher level, although with most of the songs there were tweaks made to the patch because I was blending the Omnisphere with a rack Motif ES module in varying degrees as the song required. I will investigate aliases also - I was unaware of these!
But I still stand by my original point, because it limits the possibilities of using Mainstage as a database of songs e.g. for a job where you have a lot of songs in the repertoire and will be creating a different set from these for most gigs. As I mentioned, it became impossible to open the master song list and transfer songs one by one to another Concert.
And with the comment about 64 bit making the problem disappear....well, yes but that seems a bit ridiculous that all the powerful Macs around at the moment (mine being a top-spec late 2009 15" MacBook Pro) will have to 'lump it' with 'only' the 4GB available to them!! It should be plenty equipped to handle what I throw at it, and in the case that there are a lot of memory (or CPU) intensive plugins there should be the choice of whether to have the entire concert / set / song loaded into memory on startup.
Again, I'd refer back to Brainspawn Forte, which seems like 'the' choice for most keyboard players and show programmers. There is minimal load lag, even when loading up very complex patches that in Mainstage's current form would have it eating up resources and crashing! I'm going to reluctantly investigate using Forte within Boot Camp, but still hoping that eventually Mainstage will mature into an even more flexible and intuitive program for live work - it has a great interface!

Why does Netflix freeze my new Macbook Pro?

About a week after getting my new macbook pro I was watching Netflix and the episode froze in one spot and I kept hearing a faultering sound. I couldn't open the Task Manager equivalent and couldn't escape so I had to force shut off my computer. Now once or twice a day while watching Netflix it does this and I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried reinstalling Silverlight but nothing works. HELP!
