Won't update to 7.4.1, can't access settings and TC is very slow

I started Airport Utility to make some changes to my settings. It claimed to have an update. I selected update but alas, it just endlessly says "Searching for latest firmware version" after I enter my password. I quit Airport Utility to make the changes I had originally planned on but now it get's no further than "reading configuration".
Also, I stream a lot of data from a connected disk to my computers. It's horribly slow normally, but now it just won't work.

Well, first off, you are running a very ancient version of Mac OS, you should update to at least 10.5, preferably 10.6 if your computer can support it. This shouldn't cost you all that much money. It will probably at most cost you about $40 to fully update your computer (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4517588?tstart=0). the benefits of upgrading are numerous, but mainly will provide you increased security, performance and stability. Right now your computer is not safe to use online.
After you update, update Firefox [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] and your plugins (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/)
Note, this won't work until you update Mac OS X

  • Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    Any ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slowAny ideas? In the history may iPad never crashed but after updating to iOS 5 it crashed every 30 minutes, and browsing is very slow

    I found the reason why our iPads are slow after iOS 5!!!!!!!
    What you need to do is this:
    1) launch settings, go to mail contacts and calendars, go to fetch new data, advanced, and set iCloud to fetch.
    2) go back and set an interval of when to fetch. Mine is set for thirty minutes. 
    3) make sure on top push is still on, that means that all your emails will still be pushed, but all the iCloud sync (contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks) will happen at the interval you choose.
    Restart the device. Your performance should be 10x faster! No more keyboard lag, nothing! Doing this puts less stress on the A4 chip, which we know we need every bit we can get with it now!!!
    Optional:
    1) in the settings, go to safari.
    2) clear all history and cookies/data
    3) enable private browsing. One of the biggest reasons why devices are slow is because it keeps all the history and cookies in the RAM. You need more RAM to make things faster. By turning on private browsing, it never records it!

  • EA4500 - can only access youtube, google at a very slow speed, can not access anyother website

    Got a new EA4500 for X'mas
    After setting up the new router I could only access youtube and google at a very slow speed, however I can not access anyother website - facebook, yahoo and etc...
    it would ping yahoo and google no problem
    friend told me to do a tracert some ip address and his conclusion was the router is fully functional
    ISP uses PPPoE, Im sure that the username and password are correct. 
    upgraded to the latest firmware manually, and holy hell accessing the router with no internet access is a pain in the **bleep**! 
    Please help and Merry X'mas

    I've made sure that both the EA4500 setting were the same as the WRT54G, did not solve the problem. 
    IP Address behind WRT54G is 192.168.1.103
    behind modem is 202.151.XX.XX
    It might be a DNS problem. Release & renew ip on the status page of your router. Just make sure you are already using the latest Linksys smart wifi firmware, reset the router & reconfigure. You can download the firmware here http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/EA4500.

  • I can't get rid of a "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2.  Can't close it and can't access settings.  Can't shut off the device either.  It's just locked up.  What can I do?

    How can I get rid of the "Not Enough Storage" pop-up on my IPad2?  It won't go away, I can't cancel it, I can't access settings, and I can turn off the IPad to reboot.  It is just locked up. 

    Reboot the device.
    Shut down the device by holding the sleep/wake button  and the home button at the same time.
    Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
    Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
    When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

    I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • I am using iPhone 4S. Recently I updated my software to iOS 6.1 since then my Iphone become very slow. Can anyone help me to resolve it?

    I am using iPhone 4S. Recently I updated my software to iOS 6.1 since then my Iphone become very slow. Can anyone help me to resolve it?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Since updating OSX to Yosemite I can't access facetime

    Since updating OSX to Yosemite I can't access facetime on my MacBook Pro laptop a window pops up saying you cannot connect using my apple id, but I can connect to facetime on my iphone with my apple id, any ideas? anyone?

    THis is the correct answer peggy Lynn !!!
    Après avoir fureté un peu partout sur le Net, j'ai pu lire que  l’origine du problème vient du fait qu’Apple ait désactivé par défaut le  support du « DHCAST128 » dans Lion (ne me demandez pas ce que c’est  exactement, je n’en ai aucune idée). Cela étant, voilà le workaround  (testé et fonctionnel pour moi, ainsi que d’autres utilisateurs) si vous  avez le même souci :
      Pour rétablir le support du « DHCAST128 » :
    1)   Ouvrir un terminal ( /Applications/Utilitaires/Terminal)
    2)   Tapez la commande suivante :
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    3)   Puis après avoir validé, tapez la commande suivante :
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    4)   Redémarrer votre Mac
    5)   À partir du Finder, sélectionner un  serveur AFP ou utilisez « Se connecter au serveur… ». Cela permet au  client AFP de créer le fichier de préférences complet
    6)   Relancer un terminal
    7)   Tapez la commande suivante :
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient  afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum  exchange"
    8)   Puis tapez la commande suivante :
    sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    9) Redémarrer votre Mac et reconnectez vous à votre NAS. Cela devrait fonctionner maintenant
