Software :: Are Apple's Servers Fastest?

Mar 13, 2009

Whenever I run Software Update and download something (or from iTunes), files pretty much download twice as fast as anything else I download. I'm on cable and I get around 1.5 MBs/second for Apple downloads, and I usually get around 500kbs-900kbs for everything else. Has anyone else noticed something similar?

OS X Mavericks :: Apple Mail Stopped Connecting To IMAP Servers Identified By Name

Jun 20, 2014

I'm running mail (Version 7.3 (1878.2)). For some reason that I cannot fathom, imap accounts stopped working on June 10 or so. 

I can fix this by setting the imap server to the ip address of the server, rather than its name. 

I can confirm that the name is properly resolved to the address in terminal. 

I'm using my own imap cyrus imap server

ICloud :: Mail App On Tiger And Leopard No Longer Bring In Mail From Non-apple Servers?

Jun 9, 2012

My husband's computers use Tiger and Leopard (10.5.8) to access his email on the Mail program. His mail is from Comcast and uses the Comcast server, not apple or iCloud.  His mail suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago.....as it did on one of my machines that still uses Tiger.  He had not done any updates that could have broken the software.  He does not have iCloud except on his phone and he doesn't even have a .mac address.  There is no reason for the comcast server to not be able to be accessed by Mail app. He did finally update everything that needed it and it still does not work.  Why would Apple's change over to iCloud break email access from other servers and how can we fix it.  He really doesn't want to do his mail on Comcast's web site as it's slow and awkward.

PowerPC :: Finding Fastest G4 Ever?

Sep 24, 2006

Ok I've looked around the net and the fastest dual G4 I see is a 1.8 GHZ upgrade to the 7447 chip that has 512KB of L2. I've seen a single 2.0GHZ g4 updrade but will we ever see a dual 2 GHZ g4? More importantly is freescale or whoever owns the chips now are going to make faster G4s for those still not willing to let go of their g4s (myself included going strong after 4 years) I would like to hold on to my dual 1.25GHZ longer but a 2HZ+ dual G4 seems promising for Final Cut Pro and Photoshop.

Applications :: Fastest RSS Reader?

Jan 29, 2009

I have around 10 RSS feeds, and have NewsFire set to update every 5 minutes, and it didn't seem to want to update all the RSS feeds. So I just cut it back to like every 30 minutes, and it still doesn't seem like it updates. Like it'll alert me with one update in about 2 hours, and then when I manually update it, like 20 things pop up!

I checked each site and they are all updating on the same time slot, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Is just 10 RSS feeds too many? That would seem weird to me...

MacBook Pro :: Fastest Way To Get Retina

Jun 18, 2012

I finally got my graduation money to buy the macbook pro I want. It's the low end pro, 2.3ghz with retina display. ($2200) I checked online and they say there is a 3-4 week before the item even gets shipped. I also tried calling me local apple store twice and got 2 different responses, the first one said they got a shipment earlier today but they quickly sold out nearly an hour later, and the second specialist told me I should just order it online.

OS X :: AirPort Acting Up - No DNS Servers

Feb 12, 2009

At about 11:50 PM tonight, my AirPort Utility automatically opened and told me that I had "No DNS Servers." Then it told me to preform "Double NAT" mode, in which I should use "Bridge Mode." I don't know what is happening here. I never have any problems with my AirPort like this. Should I be worried? Also at about 11:40 PM there was a bright flash outside.

It wasn't lightning, although there is a chance for some later tonight. Just seemed weird at the time. Maybe some wire on the ground transformer blew up. Who knows? Either way, the internet is fine but the Airport behavior is bizarre. Also my stereo system turned on magically just now while writing this. It has been off for weeks! Maybe I lost power shortly?

OS X :: Automatic Mounting Of SMB Servers

Feb 13, 2009

I have a 24/7 SMB server (RAID6) that I use for media serving via gigabit. How can I auto mount this server without doing a CMD+K everytime from finder? I want them to automatically mount upon login under OSX and show up under "Devices" right under the hard drives. Right now the way it works is, I mount it manually (6 partitions) and it shows up on my desktop. However it does not show up under devices. What I can do is individually drag and drop these mounted drives to the devices area so other applications can easily see it.

Power Mac G5 :: Fastest Card For Early 2005

Dec 5, 2007

Since I updated to Leopard, some of my video and slideshow programs are lagging on screen. I have done a pretty good search on the forums here, but am getting some contradicting info. What is the fastest video card for my early 2005 G5 dual 2.0 with AGP 8x slot? ATI RADEON X800 Mac Edition Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra (what is the difference between the NVIDIA and the BFG cards?) I have an ATI Radeon 9650 with 256MB one single link and one dual link DVI. The ATI RADEON X800 Mac Edition has one ADC and one dual link DVI? Do both of those ports support a 30" Cinema HD display? My 9650 only supports one and it is in the 2nd port so it is annoying having my 23" be my main monitor and the 30" be the secondary.

Information:
G5 Dual 2.0 (early 2005) 3GB RAM ATI Radeon 9650 30" and 23" Cinema HD, Macbook Pro 2 GB RAM
Mac OS X (10.5.1)
