Why is the USB download soooooo slow?  I see this frequently on other forums.  What's the fix?

I am trying to copy the bootcamp utilities to a usb drive so that windows device drivers can be updated.  The download is very slow - in fact, it looks like its halted.  Its been running for 2 hours.   Is there a work-around for this?  An alternative site to ge the file?  

Assuming you need the BootCamp 5.Drivers
Just download and unzip the file  at http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1638/en_US/BootCamp5.0.5033.zip which is Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
Burm the contents to a DVD or Flash Drive
Then insert the DVD or Flash Drive in Windows and run setup as an administrator.

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Photoshop Elements 10 downloaded but hanging on 'extracting this may take a while' - what do I do?

    Its been like this for ages, and as I'm new to Mac, I'm not sure where to begin looking for the download location.....
    Appreciate any help!!
    Thanks.

    From your description it sounds like you have chosen a location to download, i.e. the Applications folder, which the Adobe Download Assistant does not have permission to download too.  I would recommend canceling the download and trying again.  This time please choose the default location of the User folder to download the install files too.

  • Why are My iTunes Downloads so Slow?

    I have a 30 Mbps internet connection.  When I run a speed test against my connection I almost always hit 30 Mbps.  However, when I download podcasts and other files from iTunes my download speeds max out at just over 7 Mbps.  I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and everything checked out fine.  Any ideas on why I getting such a slow download speed?

    Same experience here with anything being downloaded from Apple! For at least the last 5-6 months we have gone from very fast down loads from Apple Software Update Servers which were humming at around a Megabyte to 1.5 MB a second for the better part of the last DECADE! Which was fantastic and essential for upgrading dozens of computers on the many networks we manage. Now every single network for the last 5-6 months is only getting fractions of theses throughputs. Down to 30-80 KBs (Per Machine) which is a nightmare. It makes no difference geographically in Sydney  or which Service provider. We have called the service providers and they have tested the pipe to Apples servers and they get the same results. We were comfortably getting 1GB downloads with in 20-40 minutes per machine with up to 5 or six machines on an ADSL 2+ connection at a time... easily, now its taking 3-4 hours to get a gigabyte per machine with only 2 or 3 computers at a time.
    Its a nightmare and yes we use an in-house OSX Servers SUS and down load the big updates and distribute them internally but there are now so many different updates required for different machines its difficult to do this and we just upgraded 2 computers to Lion and they wanted to down load over 2.5GB in updates each with out the system software updates which we had previously downloaded. SUS on each computer was indicating just under 24 hours to down load 2.5 GB from Apple. We were able to down load this with in an hour previously.
    Its become a nightmare harking back to the performance we were getting from the internet in the Nineties. It is suspected that since Apple removed their mirrors from around the world we all have to go to the States to get our Software, iOs and iTunes updates and Apples growth is impacting on their ability so serve up the bandwidth with everybody downloading ridiculously large 3.5 GB Lion installers.
    Interestingly Microsoft servers are dishing up the same poor bandwidth performance as Apple yet Google is the same its always been at around 800-1MB a second and many other big companies blow the Apple servers out of the water on the same networks.
    Something has to be done about this as our clients are beginning to complain seriously about it as its costing significantly more to run an Apple Network.
    And no one from Apple wants to talk about it. And this post will most likely self destruct once Apple reads it!

  • WHY DOES MY MACAIR DOWNLOAD SO SLOW IN COMPARISON TO MY IPHONE 6

    MY MACBOOK AIR STREAMS AND DOWNLOADS LIKE GARBAGE.  I HAVE A VERY FAST INTERNET SERVICE. MY IPHONES HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH STREAMS OR DOWNLOADS.. ANY CLUES?

    Regardless of the speed on your iPhones, check your internet download speed >  Speedtest.net The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Broadband download speeds vary anywhere from 10Mpbs to 125Mpbs or more.
    It may not be your Mac. Restart your router then restart your Mac. Try a download.

    Computers can run for months on end if they are setup for that (e.g. a server) simply rebooting a laptop will help to flush any RAM that has been leaked & clear out old temporary files etc. It may make it run better.
    Your hard disk is a spinning disk - if you want better performance upgrade to a SSD for better read & write times (the whole OS should run quicker).
    More RAM could help too, you can upgrade to 16GB if you want to do so.

  • Lenovo G50-45 why is no USB 3.0 driver listed for this model

    I started a clean boot of Windows 7 x64 from USB as I'm not a fan of Windows 8 but since installing I've been unable to get the USB 3.0 port to recognize anything I plug in (was working fine before).
    I can't see a USB 3.0 driver listed on the support page for this model:
    https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-notebo...
    I've also read similar problems have occured on other manufacturers laptops and this was fixed by installing the chipset drivers etc in the correct order.
    Is there a correct order I should adhere to?
    Any help much appreciated

    I am having the exact same issue on my 2013 MBPr.
    I have two Seagate GoFlex USB 3.0s, one plugged into the regular 3.0 port (450MB/s) on the left and the other plugged into the high-speed (5GB/s) 3.0 port on the right. When doing a simple copy/paste from the one drive to the other, I observe the following speeds:
    Peak Read (USB 3.0): 36.2Mb/s (288Mbit/s)
    Peak Write (USB-HS 3.0): 48.7Mb/s (384Mbit/s)
    This is far below the 620MB/s for 3.0 and is more around the 35MB/s USB 2.0 standard.
    So, I'm likely to agree with the original compaintant that the 3.0 standards aren't being employed by the MacOSX USB drivers and I'd hope to see a fix soon for these issues lest people start moving off of the Mac platforms to other vendors who adhere to industry guidelines.

  • Couldn't find the answer to this in any other forum about the MacProtector Malware.  Please HELP!!!

    I clicked on a link while reading a story about vegetarian athletes today and the MacProtector malware downloaded to my computer.  I DID NOT install the application when the installer opened.  I immediately started searching for support on what to do.  I exited the installer and rebooted in safe mode.  I found the program in the downloads menu and put it in the trash.  I emptied my trash.  I have looked through all of the possible places the program could be hiding and I did not see anything.  Am I safe?  Should I still change my password?  Also, will the virus be able to find my credit card information linked to iTunes or any other shopping websites?  Should I start using Foxfire permanently instead of safari?
    I would appreciate any help- even though I know this has been discussed quite a bit!

    Hi, here is how to remove it by yourself...
    http://goo.gl/J7R6A
    Script that I create which, will help you remove it ..... (Let me know using the contact at that site.)
    http://goo.gl/rGV62
    What is does.
    Depending on the version it just creates a bunch of random fake notification and claims your infected. If you keep getting it then most likely you have Allow popups and "Open Safe files" in safari on. The only damage is if you give the criminals that created it your Credit Card.
    It is changing so it depend on the version but these two links should help.

  • Why does pdf not have correct font?  Can this be changed to match what is on our Word Document?

    The pdf does not have the same font as my document.  We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
    Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

    Hi pkevdon,
    How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
    Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
    Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

  • Why do my itunes downloaded movies get suck frequently

    Why do my itunes downloaded movies get stuck during streaming when my other accounts, i.e. netflix and amazon prime have no problems?

    Is their really no solution to this problem? That would be really disappointing.
    I have newly installed iTunes software on a new machine, and the iTunes software is broken from the beginning.
    I purchased my music through the iTunes store because I thought it would make my life easier. It is sad to find out that this is not the case.

  • My webpages w/ Jq mobile do not load in Ipad minis of all versions slow in other OS what can I do?

    I went to Staples and tested my pages and the ones with DW Jq mobile embedded and working fine on computers does not load in Apple IPads, mini top of the line or the bottom of the line. THey laoaed quickly in Chrome books cheap versions, the MS surface they worked, and it works on my WIN. 8.1 but it is often slow, and my site takes sometime 15 secs to load, which is too long. SO I took them out and they load quickly. This is a big problem, and I do not know what is happening, Perhaps after 10 elements JQ must reload the entire page? MS FrontPage had this same problem, they fixed by server-side extensions but no longer supported them as the Bill Gates greedy partner has helped destroy MS, who is playing catch up. Any ideas? I like the mobile plattform, but maby tech is not there yet for all?

    >I have connection only of a wifi 'n'
    802.11N supports speeds up to 72mbps. That's not your problem. Are you sharing this network with others? What is your internet speed?
    >I  was forced to get DW as Front page pulled punches and promised sside extensions and then reneged
    MS discontinued support for Front Page in 2006.
    >this does not have anything to do with a rant
    You are ranting. You're complaining about MS and Bill Gates' partner and how they screwed you and about a product that was discontinued 8 years ago. Calm down and stick to the facts about your problems.
    > I cannot get here or load up. why?
    If you are having problems getting to the forum or working with DW, then there is definitely something wrong with your PC. You mentioned getting logged out and redirected to ads - sounds like you have some malware.

  • The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

    The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet.  I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C  forward.  I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

    I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).
