MacBook Pro :: WIFI Downloading Speed Very Slow / Speed Test Shows It Is Fast
Apr 30, 2009Sorry for the title but I couldn't think of anything better. Hopefully I'll be able to explain my problem. I have a MPR 2.53 ghz, 4 gig ram, I'm using Safari 4.04. I am using the WIFI at a guesthouse in Thailand (but I had the same issue in China, Vietnam ...). I ran a speed test and it said download 7mb/sec and upload about 1mb/sec. I have an "app" that says bandwidth in 1.3kb/sec out 1.0kbs. I thought maybe it was Safari so I downloaded and installed Firefox. firefox gives me similar speeds. When I downloaded Firefox though I had a download speed of over 1mb/sec. But as soon as it finished downloading the speed went back to around 1kb/sec. I have rebooted my MBP many times. I did some Google searches but didn't find anything helpful.

Dec 20, 2007I am interested in adding a webcam to my desktop Imac (power pc)- Isight is no longer available- an option that I found is the Ecamm Image- but apparently it is USB and not firewire and it will only run with high speed usb- how do I know which type is on my computer? I checked system profiler but quite frankly wasn't sure of the designations.. does anyone have any experience with this camera, by the way? is USB 2.0 by definition "High Speed"?

Apr 10, 2009I have a WDS local network at my house. I use a Airport Extreme in my main part of the house and a Airport Express for my back part of the house i.e. the backyard. Now every two weeks or so my internet speed through my Airport Express slows down about half the speed but when I am connected trough the Airport Extreme my speed is normal. I know this because I test my connection very often. Now when I want the Airport Express to get back up to speed I have to unplug, and plug it back in. Then after awhile it starts to slow down again in a time period of two weeks or so.

Apr 12, 2009i have a 1.5 Mbps AT&T DSL connection, and multiple speed tests show a download speed of 1.2 Mbps (and 200 Kbps upload). when i download files, such as software updates from Apple, various podcasts, and even Silverlight from Microshaft, the speed is always between 140 - 160 Kbps. i contacted AT&T, and the rep said it was because of buffering by the servers i was receiving the files from. is this a reasonable explanation? is this an accurate use of the term "buffering"?

Apr 9, 2009I've got a real odd problem with safari 4. For some reason it is cutting my download speeds in about 1/2 from my server and many other places.
If I restart safari I will be able to download close to my 18 Mbps for a little bit but then it will just start to slow down and after about 30 minutes it will be down to about 6 - 8 Mbps.
OS X :: Restoring From TM Speed Up My Mac?
Sep 19, 2010I've upgraded from Leopard to SL and had found that my C2D 2.4Ghz MBP 15" hasn't been snappy ever since. Even my friend's MBP 13" latest 2.4Ghz loads SysPrefs faster than me.
Would wiping the HD and restoring from TM using the Snow Leopard disk help at all, or would I get the same thing and have just wasted my time?
OS X :: How To Burn At 1X Speed
Feb 2, 2009Burning at the slowest speeds possible has always been my goal - I simply get better compatibility when it comes to audio CDs. However, I do not know how to slow down the burn speed on my iMac. I am using Toast 10, and I can select 1x speed, but the CDs still burn at 8x. How can I change this?

View 10 Replies View RelatedOS X :: What Speed Too Fast For 802.11g
May 7, 2009I have a Time Capsule as my main router with a 802.11n (b/g compatible) network, with an Airport Express (802.11g) extending it. I have AT&T Elite DSL ("up to 6 Mbps") and according to both 2wire.com and speedtest.net, I'm getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 5.1 Mbps. When I hook my DSL directly into my computer via ethernet, I get the same results. I ran a few "real world" tests and found that the results I got were pretty accurate. I downloaded a 4.8 MB file in about 7 seconds and a 17.8 MB file in about 30 seconds. So my question is...at what speed does wireless n come into play? I'm getting close to the highest speed AT&T offers on a network that is, for all intents and purposes, a g network.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIntel Mac :: Way To Speed It Up
Feb 21, 2012I have a 3-year-old-plus iMac8,1 with two GB RAM running OS 10.6.8. Hard drive is 320, with 172 gigs free. It used to be almost full, because i had a lot of video on it, but I transferred a lot to external hard drives. I emptied cache of safari, which improved performance, disabled time machine, disconnected two external hard drives, which has improved things some. I downloaded Tinker Tool, but not sure what to do with it. Sometimes I can hear the hard drive struggling in the background, doing something, not sure. I ran disk utility. Everything seems OK there. Still running slowly.

OS X :: Download Speed From Internet Is Only 12 Kb/s
Sep 28, 2010I am sorry if i have posted this in the wrong topic, i'm not sure where this would go. I am trying to download a file off the internet, but my download speed is only 12 kb/s on average (Sometimes it will go up to 13 and sometimes down to 9). I have every application that could be using internet turned off and still no help. I have also set my utorrent to unlimited download speed but it still stays on 12! I have a good router so i don't think thats the problem. What am i doing wrong? Is there a program i can use to speed it up?
View 11 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: How To Know If CPU Dropping Speed
Oct 25, 2010So my 4 year old macbook has a logic board problem where it no longer detects the battery. The battery indicator just shows an "x". So basically it works fine but it has to be plugged in all the time. I've heard that if a Macbook does not have a battery in it and is just running off of AC power, it will cut the CPU speed in half in order to cut the power consumption. I want to see if this is true or not. I have ordered a new MBP but I was going to sell this computer for my friend for very cheap, but I need to make sure its not actually running at 1ghz, cause I'd feel bad about selling him something like that. The computer is perfect otherwise.
