Imac

Hi there recently I bought an IMAC 27" all good , untill it start to drain my wi-fi 3 ?

What is "wi-fi 3"???

If any programs or apps run in background on my IMAC are they using a lot of my bandwith ? help please

That depends on the app. If I run Mail, it is going to check all my accounts routinely and use the Internet, if I run Textedit, it isn't going to use any since it's not Internet connected..

What EXACTLY are you trying to figure out?

I often have many internet applications running at once: Mail, Messages, Skype, Safari, Filezilla and sometimes Netflix to boot and there is no noticeable slowing down. I'm sure it's taking up more bandwidth than if I just had one or two of those things running, but not enough to bog it down.

The ideea is that my allowance on my wi-fi seems to vanish way to quick hm ..... and i dont know what is causing it , and it only started since I bought my IMAC ?

Would be a lot more helpful to tell us WHAT apps you are running. You will want to keep an eye on your usage and determine which app is using the bandwidth by pruning your list one by one..there is no magic here..

thank for yr help

Lately I download Adobe suite as a trial , could that be causing the problem?

Are you quitting those apps or just closing their windows? Remember, closing an application's window usually doesn't actually close the app down. You have to actually choose Quit from the application's menu to close down the app. Otherwise it will technically still be running.

Open up Activity Monitor and find out what's running.

Also, can you define what you mean by "allowance on my Wi-Fi?" I'm not familiar with this concept.

Are you running ANY kind of torrent or download manager type program??

Also, it's iMac, not IMAC. Just like it's printing on the front of your iMac. It's not an acronym.
