Why has the download/buffering speed slowed down for videos?
What can be done about it?
TIA,
R. Ober

The problem is with your router, your internet service provider or you have a marginal connection with your router.
Locate your iPad close to your wifi router and see if the problem persists.

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Are you on band 13 or band 4? 13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow.
To check band,
dial *3001#12345#*
select serving cell info
frequency band will say 13 or 4
FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

Why is the new ITune update slowing down my pc.

I recently updated ITunes...It now comes with a helper exe. Why did this change...It has slowed down my pc something terrible... I am running Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit..and never had this problem before...
Seems I need the helper exe to access ITunes now...I do not like updates that decide what runs or doesn't run....Is there a solution to this. I have one apple product it is an IPad mini...If it wasn't for the fact that I have purchased music and apps. It would end up in the garbage...That is how upset I am...
If this is a way for Apple to make me want to buy their products it will not work...
I have absolutely no problem with the ITune store on my IPad...just on on my desktop.

Hi theresa62,
The resource below explains the processes that are involved with the iTunes software installed with Windows 7. It's possible to use your iPad mini without the corresponding iTunes software on your Windows computer .... but it would limit what you can do with it. You can't sync your iPad with your computer, use iCloud services, etc. without the software. The choice is totally up to you.

Why has the download indicator bar removed ?i.e if your download is not in Downloads window

If i am downloading some file , in previous version there used to be an indicator below which used to show the download percentage , and now i don't even know weather the file is downloading or not .

The Status Bar is no longer present in Firefox 4 versions and replaced by the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar) that extensions can use.
You can use the Status-4-Evar extension to replace some functionality.
Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window after you have installed the Status-4-Evar extension and drag the items (Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status) upon the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar)

HT1338 why has my download navigator icon turned into a ?

why has the download navigator icon turned into a ?.

What is "navigator"?
Where exactly is this ? appearing? In the Dock?
If a question mark appears in the Dock it normally means the actual file/folder/app has been moved and the Dock doesn't know where it is. You will have to find this "navigator" and drop it into the Dock.

Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
What is the problem?

Hi ErstwhileCreative,
I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

Hello,
Does firefox has the feature of automatically shutting down the PC when active downloads complete?

No it doesn't, you would need an external download manager to get a feature like that.

I am using the iPad 3 64 and am an avid photographer . I have been using iPhoto as my editor when I download my pic to my iPad . I have upgraded to IOS 6. Please tell me why has the delete option has been removed iPhoto?

That was the first thing I check, my X no longer exist, the app still works fine and does everything it did in the past, the the x (delete) option is no longer there. I have deleted and redownloaded the app and did a complete reset, X still not there as an option. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

Why is the On Demand so slow to respond

Title says it all
Why is the On Demand so slow to respond?
You have very fast Internet but extremely On Demand Programming Why is that?
Fix it or ill have to go back to Road Runner. My wife runs a Preschool/Daycare and needs Fast On Demand programming because she's very busy with the kids.
She allows them to watch some of the children's programming if they did well in the class work but she doesn't have time to wait for the EXTREMELY SLOW Response.

Memory leakage causes it to run slow. One way to easily fix this is to reboot the box. It will automatically reallocate memory. To reboot, simply unplug power cord for 1 min then plug back in.
