Why is my internet running slow on my macbook pro?

About a month ago I hooked up a router for me and my fiancees to use our laptops. She has a pc and I have a macbook pro. Everything was working fine, but for the past week, the internet on my mac has been running painfully slow. Her internet is working just fine, but mines is almost non-existent. I plugged the modem directly into my mac to see what happened and it worked fine then. But when i hooked up the router again it essentially stopped working again. In lamen's terms how can i fix this?

Premiere CC running slow on my macbook pro

So I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro and Premiere CC is running pretty slow (if there any effects at all on the timeline). And it's exporting slow. I've got a
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB video card. I have 8 GB of RAM (Maxed out). And my processor is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7. It's supposed to be able to handle this and it's not. I have the Maverick OS. And I've updated to the 7.2.1 update for premiere (which I've heard has caused problems?). I'm considering getting an iMac so I don't have to deal with this! Help!

This is my experience as well. Aperture is somewhat snappy at first then, over time, slows down and becomes very sluggish.
I'm currently using "only" 1 GB of ram and am considering adding a second gig. But your experience seems to indicate that 2 GB of ram does not resolve the situation.
What file sizes are you working with?
I'm primarily working with file sizes of 60 to 70 MB.
Wondering if Aperture, in general, has trouble handling larger file sizes.

Aperture running slow on my macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a 2.0 GHZ macbook Pro with 2G of ram and a 7200RPM hard drive. Processing runs smoothly when I first start Aperture, but gradually, the computer starts to slow down (the CPU gauge jumps), and the computer actually pauses for several seconds. It gets to the points that the changes are no longer in real-time, that is, when I adjust the saturation (or make curve adjustments), I have wait several seconds before the changes make it to screen. There are no other programs running while Aperture is running, and the files are RAW files from my Nikon D200.

Why does mountain lion run hot on my macbook pro?

After up grading to mountain lion my macbook pro now runs very hot!!!

Same problem here,
I used third-party software to manualy regulate the fans, to minimize the "damage". My CPU temp on my MacBook Pro went up to about 75.0 °C (167.0 °F). And the alu-body also gets incredibly hot. For monitoring I used iStatPro.
The application integrates nicely into the system-settings menu and there's very little that can do wrong.
I set my Base fanspeed to 3000 RPM
Lower threshold to 40.0 °C (104 °F)
Upper threshold to 70.0 °C (158 °F)
I don't really see this as a long-term fix, but more as a messure to save my hardware.
Hopefully Apple will look for a fix. I really whished I didn't need this, but it's either this or a scorched lap/battery/cpu.
PS.- I think this topic is related to: Battery life dropped considerably on...

I'm having the same problem. I think it's the new software update, do you have 10.6.8?

Internet runs slow on my Mac mini

My internet runs slow on my Mac mini after I loded the new OS

I sopped by the apple store with my Mac book air. It worked well. I took it home still same problem I have two wireless networks Uverse and AirPort Extreme. My iMac was connected to the Uverse and the MacBook Air and Mac mini was connected to the Airport. When I connect all three to the Uverse everything works well. When I connect any one to the AirPort it is very slow. It worked fine with the old OS but not with the new OS. Is look like problem is with the AirPort Extreme and the new OS.

Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

Internet runs slow adsl2+ ethernet

internet runs slow adsl2+ ethernet

(Without giving more info, it is very hard to determine.
Yes, ethernet connection indeed elminates the Wi-Fi interference and such, but more details needs to be furnished in order to make judgement:
1: What application are you using? (Watch Youtube stream slow, Running uTorrent on OSX, or using some VPN services in order to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus that has yet to reach to your location or using FaceTime and such video calls etc)
2: What time does it happen (ISP may slows down connection during peak hours)
3: I presume your speed is somewhere in between 10Mbps ~ 25Mbps, correct me if I am wrong
4: How many other device are using the same Internet network. Are there any person using other computers / tablets / phones to surf Internet or even stream videos concurrently as you)
1. Watching youtube. No video phone stuff including skype, just regular internet browsing.
2. Happening constantly. No fast or slow hours.
3. Firefox runs at 700kbs on a 6mbs line.
4. No other devices or people connected.
I have changed over from netgear n600 router to Belkin and back again. Exact same speeds.
Must be software or hardware within mac.

Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

3-D is very memory intensive.
System requirements | Photoshop
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

The solution is :
1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
2. Run
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
5. Restart

Why is live and video streaming so slow on my MacBook Pro?

why is live and video streaming so slow on my MacBook Pro?

Hi redngreen,
Does this happen with Wi-Fi and ethernet?
Is your network slow with other activities?
There's a section in this article for Wi-Fi network seems slow. Some of it applies to Ethernet as well.
