Why is my internet connection so slow and I have to refresh each time to read my email
Why does it take so long to access my email or any internet pages....ALSO, when I am in my email, I have to "refresh" each and every time I want to read an email in my INbox.
Sometimes I wait 5 min to connect to my email
wilbur 46 - Have you tried the more general suggestions above?
You should post your problem separately with full details of your extensions and plug-ins. You'll then get systematic troubleshooting advice.
You could try starting in Safe Mode - hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the Firefox icon. If that works better you should try to identify any culprit extensions by a process of elimination.

I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?
Thanks for your response. I was told, obviously misinformed, that you needed to dl Lion prior to Mountain Lion, so thanks for clarifying that. I cannot dl from the internet as it is too slow and I have limited GB per month. I know, at one point, you could purchase a jumpdrive with Lion for those of us who have this problem or no internet access. I will check into that via Apple or try to borrow internet service from a friend and move my computer there.
Thanks again. -
The last 3 or 4 times I have tried to access my account, it has told me it has been deactivated and I have to reset each time, or give credit card info again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.

If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.

Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email?
Why do I have to download an attachment (lets say a picture) in my email each time I read the email? When I have an internet connection, then it is not a problem with the exception of using the data plan and if the file is larger then it takes more time but when I don't have internet and I need to see the attachment...
Thank YouOn the menubar, select Mail > Preferences > Accounts tab > select the mail account on the left > Advanced tab > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing: > set to All messages and their attachments.
You need to do this for each of your mail accounts.

When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on. When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time. Most annoying, any solutions please?
If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea. -

Time capsule running slow and backing up whole disc each time
I am on a Powerbook running Mac 0SX 10.6.8.
My time capsule back ups now take hours and appear to be backing up hundreds of files and many GBts each time, even if I run it straight after a previous back up with no file changes made.
Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I can try?
Thanks

Internet connection labouriously slow and safari constantly crashing
My g4 mac running panther is consistently and painfully slow when surfing the internet. A couple of years ago a friend gave it a makeover by inserting loads of new memory, which I thought would generally speed my mac up, but it hasn't. I also have two hard drives.
I followed some advice on a blog about cleaning up safari (removing extra languages etc etc) but this has had no effect. In fact Safari continues to crash repeatedly every session. And I get that whirring wheel between each page.
I tried to download firefox but it wouldn't load properly and explorer is as bad as safari.
I was getting used to this until I started using my partner's laptop during the day. (Windows xp).
I couldn't believe how fast the internet was. In fact I felt like i'd been in a dark ages time warp for the last two years. The internet was nothing like I had thought it was!
Does anyone know how I can bring my mac into the 2010s?
Tina.Hi tinaMac,
You may find this link is better for finding the correct 2.0.0.20 version of Firefox (the last supported version for OS 10.3.9). I think Tom's link above redirects to a later 3.0 version that requires at least 10.4.
You might also want to try Camino 1.6.10 browser and see if you like it better.
The slow or sluggish behavior of your Mac may in fact be a matter of general system maintenance such as running the cron maintenance tasks if these are not run regularly. Read Dr. Smoke's (of the X-Lab) FAQ concerning maintaining Mac OSX found at:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintainingmacosx.html
good luck,

Why is my internet speed so slow?
Why is my internet speed so slow. Ohter computers connected to my network are not having this problem.
Hi,
If you feel that your Internet connection is slow then
1)Try to find If your computer is affected with malicious software or scripts,try to remove them and use a powerful anti virus to scan your system.
2)Clear all the cache files and history of the browsers,this may help in increasing the browsing speed.
3)Avoid using browsers which requires flash and Java scripts.And use the browsers like FireFox and Chrome.By using this browser you can increase the downloading speed ,because this browsers don't use and flash and Java script.After doing this check your internet speed in the site ScanmySpeed.com which may provides you the exact speed of your connection without using any java or any flash scripts. -
HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost
why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -
"Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"
I have both a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a new Samsung Tab 3. After a recent software upgrade, I was having connectivity issues to wireless routers. The message I got when connecting to a secure wireless network was "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". I determined that I had no issues with either my phone or tablet on either an unsecure router (WiFi hotspot), or with any older router that broadcast WPA2 personal with either aes OR tkip security. I do have a problem with connecting to any new router that broadcasts BOTH aes and tkip at the same time. When I change the routers under my control to broadcast only aes or tkip, then I can immediately connect both my phone and tablet to the router. There are obviously a lot of routers over which I have no control, so this needs to be fixed. I am pretty sure that there is a problem with the latest Android software upgrade in this regard
I am having the same problem with my Galaxy 3S since the upgrade. Have searched for settings, etc. but haven't found anything I can control. My home network is getting 54.4 down and 5.7 up! Have had this issue nearly everywhere I am connected.
I think it needs a fix - noticed today that Verizon has doubled my DATA for free. May need it if this continues. -
My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection
As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues. -
I am trying to publish my ibook. When I click the publish icon I immediately get this message: 'iBooks Author couldn't connect to the iBooks store. Check your internet connection, then try again.' My internet connection is fine, and this book was uploading fine yesterday. I want to change metadata.
When you are having problems with a site - consider weather between you and it and amount of traffic (time of day).
Bad weather can cause problems with a connection as it travels on the information highway - hazard a guess all traffic that went through Buffalo is being routed elsewhere.
Bad weather can slow down handshake etc to the point of requiring too many resends - so Ibook is timing you out. -
iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.

NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.

Internet connection cuts in and out, only on iMac 2.8 Duo, not MacBook Pro
Problem started 2 weeks ago
Only on my new iMac, my internet connection disappears randomly, without any problem at the same time on the laptop or iPhone, and with no loss of Airport function/connection, only the internet and mail access is lost, and only on the iMac. I tried changing location, no help. Reboot the Airport, no help. I ran the newest Disk Warrior and did other checks on my system, and it all checks out OK. It's easy to think that things do help at first, b/c the connection comes and goes, seemingly at random.
I found a temporary, reliable fix - open Network diagnostics and just go thru the dialogue boxes. The first window always shows green lights for Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP, but "Internet - failed" and "Server - failed" and by the time I go thru each window, it's fixed, and the outbox empties and Safari opens the page. The problem is, then, an hour later or so, it's all lost again.
Please help!Just to clear this up so there's no confusion, there are two different things called Airport Extreme. The physical external hardware - wireless router, and then there's the internal wireless card inside the iMac, which is also an Airport Extreme card (you'll see this if you go to "about this mac" and select the hardware button - wireless card). I do not have the Airport Extreme external wireless router. I'm using a Motorola SBG900, and others have had this problem with D-link wireless routers. The recent software update for Airport Extreme has messed with the settings of the internal wireless card. If I go to Airport Utilities, it's looking for the external Airport Extreme router's settings. When you configure yours, are you configuring the external router, or the internal card's settings? My Airport Utilities stays blank when I open it (assuming this is because I use a 3rd party wireless router). Can you confirm that you're using the Apple Airport Extreme wireless router?
