Xserve backup speed v.slow

Hi, the Xserve is running 10.4.8 and previously consisted of 3 hds. There was the main ServerHD which had the OS and a ServerData HD which mirrored the data onto the 3rd HD....or so I thought. When I set up FTP I found out that there was an OS installed on the ServerData HD as well and that THIS was the main OS.
A problem occurred with the ServerHD and the disk had to be removed leaving just the ServerData HD with both OS and data on it. This carried on mirroring onto the, now 2nd, drive.
Anyway, we have now been informed by the PC team that the backup has slowed down from 1,436.69 MB/Min to 445.00 MB/Min and this is causing a real problem. Any ideas on the cause and possible fixes? Many thanks

What do you mean by backup? What backup are we talking about here?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between models when on the internet I.e. Facebook when after your comment and you cannot hit "enter" on an iPad for examp. And speed is slow to connect. What is = to post?

This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

Time machine backup is very slow after migration to Mountain Lion

After I migrated to mountain lion, Time machine backup is very slow. Time machine preference says there is no previous back up although I had Time machine on before migration. It did not help verymuch to connect an ethernet cable between my timecapsule and my Macbook Pro
Here are the screenshots I see:
Should I erase the previous backup made on Lion before backing up on Mountain lion? in this case how do I transfer the Lion backup file on another disk just in case something goes wrong before I have a good backup under Mountain Lion? just like any other file?

After further reading on the forum, the problem was solved: I used the possibility to back up on a second disk (in the preferences Time Machine choose a disk and save on both disks) to make a back up on another usb disk, and then erased the old .sparsebundle file on my Time Capsule. I have then re defined time capsule as the back up disk and then the backup was muuuuuch faster (one night instead of less than 1 giga after 3 days.....)

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Are you on band 13 or band 4? 13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow.
To check band,
dial *3001#12345#*
select serving cell info
frequency band will say 13 or 4
FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

Web page browsing speed drastically slowing down

I purchased a 13 inch mac book pro in December. Since day one, I have had a problem with my web page browsing speed drastically slowing down. These crippling slow down periods are completely random. They can start any time, and last from any amount of time. from minutes to hours.
95% of the time any attempt to load a page end in a time out. The other 5% takes no less then 90 seconds to load the simplest of pages. I have this problem no matter what browser I use (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera). What is driving me nuts is other applications work fine when browsing slows down. Skype, IM clients, multi-player games all work great, but web pages will not load. When I ping a website, my latency returns are perfectly normal. I can use Telnet and SSH with no problem.
This has become such a problem that I can not depend on using OS X day to day. I used boot camp to setup a windows partition and installed win 7. Using my win 7 install everything runs perfectly, I have had zero slow down!
I've done some searching and found numerous posts with similar problems. Ive read and followed the advice that I found, but I've had no success is fixing this.
I have had this problem on 6 different wireless networks. Each time this problem has come into play, my windows install performs flawlessly. This really makes me belive this is a software problem. Not hardware / ISP.
I see alot of post blaming default ISP DNS servers, just to let everyone know I use google's open DNS on my home network.
I also have changed the DNS settings in OS X
All other machines on my home network have zero problems!
Sending files between my laptop and other machines on my network works perfectly.
I have found a few posts / guides for using OnyX, none of them have worked for me
I have to be missing some simple thing here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the welcome and the quick response Glynn
I rebooted into OS X as soon as I read your response. Web pages would not load.
I followed your instructions.
The Airport Light was green.
I went ahead and hit assist me and ran the diag tool. According to the tool my internet connection is working correctly.
Sadly the problem persists and web pages still will not load in all four browsers.
I ran a ping to google.com and responses were well under 45 ms.

Speed has slowed to nil how do i delete all icons running in background?

speed has slowed to nil. How do I delete all icons running in background?

To close an app, 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 thumbnail to close it.
this might help as well.
Reboot 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.

Internet speed is slow with Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Internet speed is slow with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, but booting in separate drive running 10.6 is fine. Tried renewing DHCP, zapped the PRAM, ran disk utilities, and sudo chron. No change. I am running 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gig ram, AT&T DSL via ethernet. Getting 0.15Mbps instead of 3Mbps.

Did you try creating a new location and deleting the old one? Just renewing the DCHP on its own may not be enough. Follow all the instructions here, first:

If that doesn't work, have a look at my further instructions here:

Broadband speed SO SLOW!

So my download speed has been slow for about 3 months now, but at this point its starting to really get annoying. Download speed on steam is 30KB/s and no matter what device i test, my desktop connected via ethernet or a iPhone connected via wireless the ping is high and the speeds are slow.
Anyone able to help. Here is what the Hub says. If you need anymore information just let me know.

Speeds have been slow and are not getting better. Everyone on the forum has said just wait and it will configure itself. Well guess what, its been weeks and weeks without improvment. Every four days the hub would reset and change speeds, but this would sometimes be by less then 0.02Mbps. This is the reason the up time is just around 4 hours. Instead of speeds getting faster the upload speed was is decreased.
Can anyone help me get some of the speeds i am predicted by BT?

MULTIPLE MAC BACKUPS BUT MACBOOK SLOW

Why is my LTE speed so slow on my iPhone 6. I've tried multiple locations in Los Angeles and get ~7 meg. download. A friends iPhone 6 on AT

LTE download and upload speeds are slow on my iPhone 6. I also tried this on a co-workers iPhone 6 and got the same results, approximately 7 meg download. A friend with an iPhone 6 on AT&T is getting ~35 meg download. Is there something wrong with the network. I've tried this in 5 different areas in Los Angeles.

Imovie '8- SPEED UP/SLOW DOWN

I know that the speed up/slow down option was taken off of imovie '8. My question is, what do I do? I have heard through the grapevine that you can download imovie '6 which does have that editing option, but I can't figure out how to do that? thanks for your time.

1) Upgrade to iLife 09
or
2) A free option is to use JES Deinterlacer. Karsten Schluter has a [tutorial on his excellent web site|http://sites.google.com/site/karstenschluter/slowmowithim08].
There are no legal free downloads of iMovie 06.

IOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow.

iOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow compared to iOS6. This was proven with Safari and using speed test app.

I have exactly the same problem symptom ever since installing iOS7. Toggling the FaceTime or the LTE settings alleviated the problem until I installed the latest version on IOS (7.0.4- 11B554a). Now the bug is permanent, a Network Reset will not work anymore, a System Reset will work only for the first execution of Speedtest.
Looks like the network software is throttling LTE speed to the minimum (.50 Mbps) up/download speed no matter what. Now unlimited Data means nothing, maybe AT&T wants me to go to Verizon or Tmobile.
I reported this problem to AT&T Sept 26 when I first installed IOS7, they told me there was no problem really that I needed to wait for the LTE network congestion to go away...? Since I found a circumvention by toggling LTE I did not pursued the problem...
After reporting the problem again this morning, they sent me to the AT&T store to change the SIM card.... I will try this and report back if it fixes the problem... Although I doubt it will fix anything but burn and extra hour of my day. The AT&T rep said that if the new SIM card doesn't fix the problem I need to go to Apple for them to give me a new Iphone....???? I guess there are many iPhones gone bad after installing IOS7 (sarcasm).
If you have this same problem, please post here so that I am able to get back to AT&T with some leverage to get them to remove the choking of LTE. Basically, if everyone accepts the new low speeds, then, unlimited data is no longer a problem for this phone company.

Hmm... Have u tried change filter ?? and router is pluged via filter?? Its sunday if u dont scary to remove two bolts after removing faceplate and check that wires are pushed in slot/ screwed ( those more expensive sockets has bolts to tight wires instead of V slots which is simple push in fit).
ps: You are only need two wires which are connected to middle slots, three slots on left and three on right, when u look on the socket and remove wires which are connected to other V slots. They are not in use.
Now most important on the middlle V slots u will find more then two cables connected (if you have more then one phone socket) look on wires, yes remove, just look on colors which are going on which side. Use tape, to mark one side and leave only wires which are coming from outside and disconnect all which are going inside your home to make sure that " your dog eat some wires and without insulation they make problem, your child pun paper spin in phone socket etc."
In standard you will find 4 wires, twom from outside and two which are used to extend your line around your home .
master share on slave, slave reshare it to another etc.
* sometimes you may find 6 or I saw even 8 wires in master socket. Everything is depends of person who fit that extension, BT or electrician, owner etc. This can give u diffrent variations of colors wires which are active.
From outside active is orange and white orange, inside blue and white blue etc.
Its really simple. When I was doing communications, I saw paper spin, little wires in phone sockets, dog eat a bit of cable and by cousing short circuit on extension, brodband couldnt connect or keep reconnecting, wife bought new phone and connected it without filter and every call broadband fail, kids bought phone for 4 GBP and beacuse u have free wekkends in plan they use phone without filter and call their friends etc.
Keep only wires in "2" and "5" numbers.
2. Pull out wires first from one side, and put back that wire which is coming from outside ( you can push them back with flat electric screw driver, make sure that fit well for both sides )
3. Now sort out right side, remove both wires and put back that which is coming from outside
4. First connect filter which cable from the router and now power on router.
Check stats should be ok.
