OS X :: Checking My Bandwidth OS X?
Sep 6, 2010This doesn't have to do with OS X as much as it does my ISP (Comcast 15Mbps/3Mbps Down/Up). Comcast states you get speeds "Up to" those advertised which basically means you will never get those speeds but once in a blue moon it could happen.
I've been watching my Router activity for a few minutes (see Top graph of the attached image) and I never get near either of those advertised speeds as expected. I am downloading Xcode DMG from Apple and a few torrents are running with no bandwidth restrictions.
My question is currently I'm getting about 50% of my advertised bandwidth, if I reduced down to the 1.5 Mbps Comcast package would I probably still only get 50% of that bandwidth? I think I already know the answer but was curious what you guys thought.

PowerPC :: How Would I Go About Checking If My Ram Was Within Specs
Sep 11, 2006My tibook has been having kernel panics (Both with the polite message telling you to shut down your screen, and the one where a bunch of code rolls down the screen and it freezes). Also the computer sometimes just plain freezes sometimes and it also just shutsdown randomly. What could be the problem? i tried both sticks independently and it still happens, unless both the ram sticks are bad.How would i go about checking if my ram was within specs?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Checking Files And Folders?
Jun 19, 2008So I have this weird occurrence when I open a Finder window and view files on one of my Mac Pro's internal harddrives.
A bunch of the Files and Folders have a Date Created of Dec 31, 1903 8:00PM.
The Date Modified is correct.
It's not every file/folder either. Mostly contained in one directory I have with client files in it.
I have:
- Reset PRAM
- Reset SMC
- Verified Permissions, Disks
- Deleted Finder's plist
So far, still happening.
Anyone have a clue as to what to check next?
I'm trying to figure out when this happened.....only noticed it today.
Could it have anything to do with sharing files from an XP machine.

Aug 24, 2010Is there a way to check my hard disk for bad sectors? I dropped my MacBook off a 2nd floor balcony onto grass and I don't want to get a nasty surprise sometime in the future when it tries to write to a bad sector.

OS X :: Update Hangs At Checking For New Software
Mar 13, 2009My Software Update has suddenly stopped working. It hangs at "Checking for new software" and the progress bar is at about 10%. I've searched all over and have done a few things, but can't seem to get it working. I've tried removing com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and removing everything in /Library/Updates. I've tried clearing cache files and repairing permissions (via Cocktail.) I've used Disk Utility to check my drive for errors and it didn't find anything. I also ran the hardware test on my original Tiger restore disc and that didn't find any errors. It is similar to this thread: [URL]. I've tried just about everything I can find and can't get it to work.

Jan 15, 2010Is there any software that can check if a NTFS hard drive is working properly and repair it if necessary?
I tried programs like Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro and Drive Genius. All seem to be good programs but none of them support NTFS even though my MBP can read/write NTFS.
I would format my external hard drives to mac format but I need those drives to be accessible on a PC as well.

View 24 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Mailboxes Get Offline When Checking For Messages
Sep 20, 2010Until recently, I had had no problems with the mail application for going on six years. Now, everytime my mail application checks for mail (auto or manual), all of my mailboxes are kicked offline and must manually be put back on line. In addition, when I try to send mail, the mail goes to my out box and I have to restart my computer in order for it to be eventually sent. These problems started when Verizon transferred its internet services to Frontier. Frontier says it is an Apple problem. (In doing some research I find that other mac owners, Panther and beyond, with other ISP's are having similar problems with no one, that I can find having found a solution). I have double checked my settings and deleted and reentered all of my mailboxes to no avail.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Checking Permissions And Verify Repair If Needed
May 9, 2009Right, I just upgraded the Hard Drive in my white Macbook today. So I put a fresh install of OSX on and put all my pictures, music, apps etc back on. After I had done everything I decided to check the permissions and repair any if needed. As it was verifying the permissions loads came up that needed repaired. So when i clicked repair it all seemed to go fine, it doesn't say any couldn't be fixed or nothing. But I went to verify them again just to double check and they were all still there needed repaired again.

Jul 14, 2008I use Leopard on my Mac and Entourage to get my e-mail. I set Entourage to check for new mail every 2 minutes. Well, it doesn't. I usually have to hit the send/receive tab to get my mail. But, sometimes my mail will show up automatically.
I also got an error -17896 that says my OS network preferences are not configured to allow automatic connections. And then something about changing the PPP options to connect automatically. I'm not sure if that's the problem. I use Airport with cable modem, a Belkin router, not DSL.
