os x 10.10.3 installed and wifi slowed down

Ok been working on this all night. to get my computer up and running i had to:

1. unplug 30 sec

2. power on while holding shift. it might be wise to find something that can hold down the shift button it takes awhile( i used a hammer head)

if you machine restarts before it loads. start over Unplug etc

3. log in to admin. my screen flickered and flashed and everything went very slow. ( i had no option to start in safe boot it just didn't happen)

4. if you get to the admin page open a browser and search in Manycam . I never used this product and what is really weird is i just replaced the hard rive 2 months ago. the apple support pages eluded to this fix from security updates from the past.

5. I was able to download many cam and then install immediately using the Manycam uninstall .

6. restart from preferences and OMG..!!!!! its working fast load, fast usage.

good luck !!!

my optical drive still don't work from the last update but I'm working on that. I could say many things about how dissatisfied i am with this but I'm sure you all have hear it lately...

.

1995 Imac intel duocore 10.10.3

if you get your system to log in read the repot before you sent it to apple. half way down is comments about MANYCAM...

Hi,

I have MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013). After I upgraded Yosemite from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3, then my WiFi slowed down. WiFi connection seems to be stable, but I can see higher latency and small packet loss.

Here is report from mtr (combined traceroute and ping):

Average latency to destination is 107ms. Same time if I run nice trace from iPhone 6 Plus (which is connected to same wifi network), latency is always less than 40ms. I have also checked with Wireshark, that there is no inbound or outbound traffic which could describe the latency.

Here is FTP transfer from ftp.funet.fi:

lftp ftp.funet.fi:/dev> mget 100Mnull

104857600 bytes transferred in 54 seconds (1.84M/s)

I can get over 5 MB/s with Windows laptop.

It looks like some kind of internal buffer is full from time to time (or wifi driver is broken) and latency gets high from time to time.

If I share internet connection from iPhone WiFi, i am seeing same latency issue, So the problem is not related to specific WiFi network.

If I log in with guest account, the problem seems to be gone.

Lucky you! It only slowed. My Wifi connection has been so unstable since installing this piece of sh.. update I had to physically move my office to get online via ethernet. Also huge mail problems. Maybe if you buy a watch Apple will fix this problem for you.

Ran a bunch of tests today using speediest.net and the wifi issues have got to be an issue with OS X 10.10.3.

- My MBP 15" Mid 2012 computer gets 120+ down all over the house. The signal is strong and constant.

- I place my new MBP 15" Retina mid 2014 right next to it and I get super choppy download speeds and the speeds are between 2-10mbps.

- My iPhone 6 is getting between 30-50mbps down.

- My iPad 2 is getting a good 25mbps down.

I can hardly open email on gmail.com. Video calls are pointless because of how choppy the connection is. Webpages don't load. Chat clients time out. Stuff that should work even on a 2-5mbps connection don't.

I found my issue and it was the following software: Apogee Maestro 2.

As soon as I close the app my internet works perfect (105+mbps). The moment I open the software my internet goes to crap (1-5mbps).

The app must have been auto loading anytime I connected to my display (since the audio hardware was connected to it). That is why I would see the occasional speed boost after rebooting and then it would drop immediately upon connecting to my display.

I am going to email Apogee.

Could be that some of you guys are having a similar issue where a piece of 3rd party software is killing the connection.

I had this issue with the beta and had to revert back to 10.10.2 after trying all kinds suggested fixes I found in the forums. It actually causes Wifi and ethernet issues with all the devices connected to our home network. It all goes away once I turn off my iMac with 10.10.3 installed. Had the same issue with the beta, had to downgrade and filed a bug report with Apple. Looks like they did not fix the issue. Once you try all the fixes and the issue is not resolved, I think your only option is to downgrade. I am going to try a clean install and see if that works.

I have an Asus router and the 10.10.3 kills my whole network, I disconnected my Asus and used an Almond router I had lying around. The new router did not resolve the issue.

kimmoli,

Can you ping your router ? How does that look ?

i have the same problem 😟 i muss turn off magic mouse !!! thnaks APPLE !!!

That's the best idea I think at this stage i.e. to do a 'clean install'.

Can I just ask though: Once you have done the clean install will you be running 10.10.2 or 10.10.3?

Also please would you be so kind to post here your results once you have carried out the clean install of OS X.

Just done that 10.10.3 "Supplement" update that Apple have just dropped now, unfortunately no change still the issue remains.

I found a solution to my problem. Once i off my bluetooth, the wifi connection works fine. but that means i can't use my magic mouse.

saw another solution from another thread and it worked for me.

WIFI Problem 10.10.3

Tried that just now but it didn't help for me. thanks anyway though.

I have to confirm, pausing iCloud Photo upload has so far fixed the issue for me. I had this problem first on my Mac Air (which has very few photos) and it eventually went away (I'm assuming once all the photos uploaded). Then I started having the problem on my iMac which has tons of photos (it started after updating to 10.10.3 - and I'd turned on iCloud Photo sharing). Paused it today for one day and I've been fine so far. Will see tomorrow if it comes back when uploading starts again.

You change this setting in the new iPhotos>Preferences>iCloud

Just tested, turning it back on again super slow speed. My guess is they aren't throttling the uploads properly - and probably their servers are overloaded.

Not sure if this will solve everyone else's problems, it did mine.
