What can I do to improve the speed of download on my Mac

My Mac Air is very slow in the download of some sites.

Your download speed depends on your internet connection speed and the speed of any site you download from. There is nothing you can do if a particular Web site is slow.

SpeedTest allows you to check your internet speed.

  • What can be done to improve the performance of the Satellite P300-150

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300-150.
    It seems powerful enough but struggles with some of the latest games.
    It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.

    And I wouldn't be able to play on the move...

    What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?

    Thank you
    Max

    Hello

    You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
    The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.

    Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.

    Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)

  • IPad 3. It seems pretty slow lately. What can I do to improve my speed?

    I bought my iPad 3 in 2012. It has served me well. Lately, it is quite slow and unresponsive as it has been. What can I do to improve my performance? The software is updated.

    Try to reset all the settings in the settings under general app and in the right column under restore.

    Try stories reset and delete/reset the caches in all web browsers you use.
    If you use Safari, these features may be in the application settings under Safari.
    Other browsers have their settings inside the running application itself.

    If your iPad has been activated for iCloud, in the application settings under iCloud, to the right, under iCloud Drive, type in iCloud drive and make sure that Safari is off to save data from Safari to iCloud by car.

    Also, under iCloud in the application settings, in iCloud Drive, turn the feature off saving for all other desired apps DO NOT the data automatically on iCloud drive.

    If you are using Safari is always causing issues.
    Try changing / using web browser third another, different.
    I do not use iOS Safari too much more because I found it cause me headaches on some Web sites, regularly, to visit.
    I commonly use another third party browser, perfect browser (there are others that can suit your style better web browsing, so look all first to see what third-party browser may work better for you) and I have never experience many questions that Safari was originally.

    In the application settings tab general, right under the spotlight sesrch, try disable the search under the applications who really don't need a research, as some games, remote controls, apps that are really useless to be searched, etc., in order to reduce the list to Spotlight search.

    Try to turn the reduced movement.
    This is found in the application of settings in the general tab, in the left panel.
    In the right panel, look under accessibility, look to reduce the Motion and turn this feature "On".
    You should see a significant performance increase on all models of iPad 2, 3 and 4.

    In the application settings under the general tab, in the right column, search background App update and enable this setting to "off".

    Try a reset of your iPad by simultaneously pressing buttons Home and sleep/wake button until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.

    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to adjust windows 7 to improve the speed of download of photo?

    I just got a new computer at work with windows 7 on it.  When I download cars.com and carsforsale.com images that it takes forever.  It is much slower than my 10 year old with windows xp computer.  Is windows 7 doing something for the upload to make slow?  Adjust a parameter to speed it up?

    Hello

    1. do you have a wired or a wireless connection?

    2. what type of image file you are trying to download?

    3. What is the size of the image you are trying to download?

    4. what web browser do you use?

    A if you have a wireless connection, then consider move the computer to the hotspot, so that the signal is strong.

    B the upload speed depends on the speed of the Internet and how the picture is large. Top Internet speed means faster download. Overview means slower download. Download success also depends on the speed of the server cars.com and carsforsale.com.

    C-Try to set up your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens. Tuning your system to start in mode minimum state helps to identify third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  • Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

    My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

    When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

    117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

    At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

    Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps

    Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

    My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

    If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

    In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

    BTW:

    1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

    2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

    Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

    Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

    Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

    If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

    Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

  • Equium A200-1VO - what could be done to improve the situation of power supply?

    I recently bought an Equium A200 1VO as one second laptop - my other (an Aspire) is excellent, but a bit heavy in the basket to autour. Anyway, it seemed fabulous value and has worked very well so far - but I just discovered a catch today, the low battery life. I understand that this gap is shared with most of the other laptops of a comparable weight.

    In any case, I wonder what could possibly be done about (I often use my laptop while on the move, in locations without power outlet available, and less than 1 hour of power is very restrictive (I know powersave and others)-especially compared to my other laptop which is about 3 hours on battery)?

    Is there a portable power charger (the type with which you can load to the top of their rechargeable batteries on the sector, then take them and be able to charge mobile phones, iPods, etc. several times without needing an external power supply), as the Proporta one, who could charge a laptop as well (well, this laptop)? And how about the 9 cell Li-ion battery that sell Toshiba (or for that matter, one 6 cells)?

    How long will pretty much those give me? Are there other types of batteries that can be purchased for an extra life?

    Any suggestions on how I could get more autonomy would be most appreciated.

    Hi guys

    > what could be done to improve the situation of power supply
    You could buy a stronger battery which delivers more power for a long time
    You should take a look at the value of mA; more better ;)

    Also please don t forget that the Vista operating system needs more power as an early OS like XP.
    Vista needs more power because it wastes more computing resources.
    I read that a same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery with preinstalled W2K or XP.

    I installed only ever voluntarily Lagarith Lossless encoder. Others have been installed as part of a new software that I installed it. Try the QuickTime options - they offer much better ways for you to control the output and I think that you like them.

    If the hacker has your address list now I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing you can do.

    If it is using your real address list (as opposed to having downloaded/imported) then change your password should do, but unless this intruder is a fool, he or she has already copied your list of contacts.
