Why is the Yosemite download EXTREMELY slow?
I have the fastest internet available in my area and I usually download movies and other files of similar size to the Yosemite upgrade in just a few hours. When starting the download of Yosemite the download time was estimated at roughly 5 days 20 hours. I download digital copies of movies from apple all the time with no problem so why is Yosemite taking so long to download? I have confirmed that it's not a problem with my internet connection and my Macbook does not have connectivity issues either. Someone please tell me that OS X Yosemite will finish downloading sometime in this lifetime!
you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

Why is the itunes download so slow
why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.

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 is the Lion download incredibly slow even with a fast connection?
Downloading Lion using a fast ethernet connection and I'm still getting a download time of 7 hours? It is niot my connection or machine.
I think it depends on how busy the servers are, Kevin. I've heard several reports like yours . . . I waited til last night about 11 pm, and it was fairly quick -- say about a half hour or so. Try another time.

Why are the TV downloads so slow? how can this be fixed?
If you start Activity Monitor with All Processes select and the CPU tab clicked
Then click the small arrow to the right of the % to sort the process using the most CPU to the top
If you tell us which processes they are and how much is being use we might be able to help you

Since you have barely enough Ram, you must be very careful about running too many apps together, and avoid everything that is not really needed, or even not compatible.
1. uninstall iAntivirus and MacKeeper completely, Counterproductive.
Uninstall also the Seagate disk software.
2. you have uTorrent installed and used it. Even worse it runs continuously! This app- as other torrent apps- broadcatsts your data, and the downloaded items are often infected. A mac is much more sensitive than a PC. So carefully examine which apps were so downloaded; and think about it before using the torrent app again.
3. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems remove ALL entries, with the minus sign underneath.
After that restart.
4. Now uninstall the following: Growl, smcFancontrol, LittleSnitch, AndroidFileTransfer.
5. I do not have experience with all those audio and music apps you use, but I expect several are not (yet) compatible with Yosemite. Check that and uninstall what is not ready for Yosemite. Maybe you do not even need some at all.
6. Rethink which apps are hacked. They may be infected.
7. In MacintoshHD->Library->InternetPlug-ins delete the two AdobePDFViewer plugins.
8. In MacintoshHD->Library->LaunchDaemons delete the Adobe Switchboard plist.
9. Carefully research the compatibility of Digidesign !! -
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.

There is nothing to do but wait. -
I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore. It never dropped or anything
Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
Are you using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
The speaker is not that loud. -
Why is the wi-fi so slow on the time capsule??? Brand new bought last week? help? running about 13 devices on more than one network. Help please..
Is it slow compared to other devices.. ??
Give numbers.. cannot operate from general comments.
Is this 2.4ghz.. are you splitting the load over 2.4ghz and 5ghz??
Have you tried using SMB names.. short no spaces pure alphanumeric, with different name for 5ghz.
Lock the wireless channel for 2.4ghz and test 1, 6, 11 in turn.
Using WPA2 personal security only.. with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric of course. -

why does the videos looks so slow only in the internet
Many reasons, like what format they are, for instance Flash Videos will be slower.
Any links to the slow ones?
Which exact Mac do you have? -
I work in an Education environment with Windows Server 2008. I am trying to join our Macbooks to Active Directory. They are joined but the login is extremely slow. I read that this is because of a possible problem with an OS update.
Check the ethernet link speed when connected directly to the TC.. if you are plugged into the modem direct.. and comparing that with wireless on the TC we have no way of knowing where the issue is.
There is some issue related by someone when the TC was bridged.
It is extremely hard to impossible to know what is causing wireless slow down.. needs lots more info.
What is the link speed?
Set manually and try different channels.
The series 1 cannot do 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously but test on 5ghz and see what the speed is like. You will need to be in the same room as the TC. -
I recently cleared my hardrive and reloaded the install software including snow leopard and now the browser is extremely slow. Any ideas
Your profile says OS 10.5.8, Snow Leopard is 10.6.
After installing Snow Leopard, did you do a software update? Apple menu / Software update ..
If you have not run it yet, do so. It will give you the highest versions of Snow Leopard and Safari. That might help.
