    MP 7,1 Slot Utility App on New Mac Pro

    Is anyone familiar with how the Slot Utility App functioned on the old Mac Pro? I plan on getting the new Mac Pro 2019, and want to know how bandwidth can be allocated in respect to a lot of the "Pro-Apps" that Apple has teamed up with. If I planned on adding on PCIe NVMe RAID Cards that...

    Bottlenecks & unpacking the limits of 10/100 Ethernet on iBook G3 clamshell

    To be blunt, I’ve been torn between posting this on the Server/Networking sub-forum or over here, but as it focusses mostly on legacy equipment and Ethernet protocols, the balance seems tipped to favour here. [Mods: you’re welcome to move this over to the other sub-forum if this more...

    AirPort Extreme routing speed reduced via AT&T Gigapower

    Hey Everyone— Got a weird one here. Back in mid-2017, we got the 1000Mbps x 1000Mbps AT&T GigaPower service. This has been routed (NAT, default host, DNS) via an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac base station, and has worked great. I've regularly speed-tested at >850Mbps both ways**. However, recently...

    iCloud Drive Files and Mail Not Syncing on Web or Macs

    Did I trigger some sort of bandwidth cap or something? I was moving, and merging and deduplicating about 300,000 Emails. The only thing that seems to respond anymore is files within the app folders. My sync is stuck. Files on my Mac sit there uploading forever. Files on the Web do not download...

    Mail App - Repetitive Downloads Massive Bandwidth

    Does anyone know if there's yet a solution to the native Mail application constantly re-downloading messages each time it checks for mail - in my case, I have 4 Gmail IMAP accounts. I've seen this issue on Apple's own boards - no one seems to have any clue why the app is malfunctioning. And...

Safari slows down, the video freezes, the audio glitches and the browser feels like it is going to crash, all while the "VTDecoderXPCService" process uses...

    I have been noticing that my internet has been kinda sluggish lately, and started troubleshooting. After running Activity Monitor I found out that Photos Agent was, and is, constantly uploading (and downloading) data. The strange thing is that there's no new photos or videos to upload or...
