How to Make iTunes Songs Download Faster (6 Steps)


Download iTunes songs over your home network instead of public networks unless you only have a dial up connection. Public connections share bandwidth among all users, so your download speed will be slow if others are also using the same connection. If you must use public networks, choose library or school networks whenever possible. These tend to have higher bandwidth and faster speeds than coffee shop or restaurant hotspots.
Connect your computer to your broadband modem using an Ethernet cable rather than downloading over the wireless connection. Data transfer over cabled connections is faster than wireless connections.
Move your computer or device as close to the router as possible if you must use a wireless connection, such as on an iPod, iPad or iPhone.
Connect to the Internet using your service provider's domain name server (DNS) rather than a public DNS. If you have not changed your connection from the default your provider set up, this will happen automatically each time you connect to the Internet. However, if you have specifically configured your home network to use a public DNS such as Google DNS, the company that iTunes uses for file delivery may route your downloads through a busy public data stream. This makes your downloads take longer than they would on a private ISP-provided server. Contact your ISP about switching back to its server.
Close any browser windows and other programs running on your computer before you shop for your iTunes songs. On a mobile device like the iPhone or iPad, open the multitasking pane, hold your finger over one of your open app icons, and then tap the 'X' to close all open programs except the iTunes store. This lets your computer's processers and RAM direct most of their resources to iTunes.
Launch iTunes on your computer and select the 'Downloads' link from the menu as your songs are downloading. De-select the box that says 'Allow simultaneous downloads.' This may increase your overall download time, but each individual song will download more quickly because they are not competing with each other as they download.

How to Make My Wireless Network Invisible


Enter the administration interface for your router or access point. Use your Web browser to connect to this interface by navigating to the address required by your device (for example, http://192.168.1.1).
Browse to the wireless setting page in the administration interface. This page typically includes options for changing the wireless network mode, wireless network name, wireless channel, and the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) broadcast.
Disable the SSID broadcast and save your settings. The router or access point should reboot to enable the new settings.
Enable the SSID only when performing networking maintenance or connecting other computers to the network. However, even without the SSID broadcast, you can connect to your network by simply manually entering the network name, so try to keep the SSID broadcast disabled at all times.
Continue to use encryption such as WPA (or WEP, if WPA is not available on your device). Disabling SSID can help thwart casual outsiders, but more experienced intruders can still use sniffing techniques to find and access your network. Encryption can help prevent such intrusions.

How to Connect My Laptop to a Projector Wirelessly


Turn off both the laptop and projector. Both must be off for the media program to recognize the new hardware upon restarting your laptop.
Hook up a wireless transmitting device to aid in transferring the signal wirelessly from the laptop to the projector.

A receiver, which acts like an antenna, must be hooked up to the hardware device that will be receiving the wireless signal.
Turn on the laptop and projector. Wait for the media program to recognize the new hardware. It will provide you with prompts on your laptop screen. Follow the command prompts. Some operating systems will not automatically recognize the new hardware. If yours does not, click on the 'Start' menu. Type 'projector sharing' into the search box at the bottom of the start menu. Choose 'Connect to a Network Projector' from the options given.
Select your projector from the drop-down list and wait for the connection wizard to install all of the necessary components. Follow the command prompts until you are finished.
