Firefox takes too long to load pages. How do I fix this?

Hi guys, I use a laptop, windows 7 home premium intel core i5 cpu and ever since I upgraded to the latest firefox 7 loading pages has been hell. Especially when I open more than one tab. I recently uninstalled it along with bookmarks, cookies etc and reinstalled it but the same thing happens, I don't even have any plugins. Please help anyone. Regards...Grant

I also have this problem where I used to be able to shrink a 2 page doc to a single page. Since upgrade to FF4 it no longer works - but you can choose say 60% and it will work. All used to work fine in FF3

Firefox takes forever to open/startup. How can I fix this?

I am running Windows XP. All updates are current. IE opens up fast, but Firefox takes forever. Also, it is using way too much memory. Please advise.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

HT1751 Consolidating ITunes Library Failed - message received: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long" . Please help - how to i fix this issue?

I consulted your website for details on how to back up my ITunes Library on my PC-found the article very helpful-I reached step 7 - clicked ok and the following message came up: "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Please can you help and advise what I should do or how to fix this issue. My pc operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic

You can select a group of tracks and consolidate from the right-click context menu. You coud try consolidating in batches, say all songs by artists beginning with A, then B, etc, then the other media types, until you can isolate a problem track and then try moving that by hand and fixing the broken link.
I also have two scripts that could help you, Unconsolidated and ConsolidateByMoving. The first can make a playlist of all unconsolidated tracks, the second can consolidate a selection of tracks by moving them instead of copying.

Page takes too long to load because of videos

Hi. I have a website that I made, but the page takes too long to load because there are videos on it. Is there any way to stop the videos from auto-loading and instead only load when someone clicks on them to play?

There are several ways to have videos on a page without having them load until they are selected to play. A couple are:
1 - Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This test site has 9 videos on the page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
2 - QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player. This method is more difficult to implement.

HT4352 apple tv takes too long to load photos

I am running iTunes (11.1.5.5) on Windows 7 and have setup home sharing and accessing the Photo Library from Apple TV 3rd Generation.
We have a lots of photos (approx 21000) organizaed in folders, eg:
Main Photo Folder
Folder 1 (5500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 2 (3500 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Folder 3 (12000 photos)
F1-Sub 1
F1-Sub 2
F1-Sub 3
Apple TV doesn't show the sub-folders beyond the first set of folders and as a result it takes too long to load our list of photos, is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks!

I am having exactly the same issue. Moved house and now starting a movie takes minutes, not seconds... I've got both the Mac and ATV connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme base station, but have no explanation for this bizarre slowdown. I also don't have internet currently, but I can't understand with content not purchased on iTunes, why that would make any difference...?

[SOLVED] initramfs takes too long to load

Using systemd-analyze I found out that initramfs takes too long to load:
463ms (kernel) + 11875ms (initramfs) + 6014ms (userspace) = 18353ms
My HOOKS array in mkinitcpio.conf is the following:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems usbinput fsck"
I suspect that the long loading time of initramfs is caused by partitions decryption (I am using dm-crypt / LUKS on top of LVM).
Is there any tool that can report loading times of HOOKS seperately, just like systemd-analyze plot does for userspace?

In what sense is it "too long"?
I'm just wondering: suppose that you find out that it is because you are using encryption. Would you then switch to a non-encrypted system? Would you make better use of the extra seconds you might save on those rare occasions when you reboot? Even if you reboot twice a day, you might save what? Suppose you would even save 5s per boot. That will give you a whole extra 1 minute and 10 seconds a week. Assuming you don't multitask. Obviously if you multitask, the gain will be less. Would that make it worth risking the security of your data?
EDIT: I didn't mean this to sound as confrontational as it does now I read it back. It just always puzzles me that people are so concerned about shaving a few milliseconds here and there. I always hope that they put the time they save to good use but then I realise that the time they spent shaving the milliseconds off will obviously outstrip the time saved.
I really don't care about the boot time because of the reasons you have already mentioned. I just want to figure out if there is any misconfiguration. I am just investigating why initramfs takes significant longer to load compared with my desktop Arch installation (non-encrypted) 1316ms for initramfs. My desktop has a Pentium 4 CPU and laptop has a quad-core i7.

systemd-analyze is not counting the time is spent to type the password.

Apple TV Gen 3 takes too long to load 15,000 photos. Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

I just purchased Apple TV (Gen 3) It takes too long to load my over 15,000 photos for viewing. This was never a problem with my ATV (Gen 1). Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

Do you have a technical question?
What have you done to troubleshoot?
Typically issues like this are related to the local network. First thing would be to try ethernet, if on wifi. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV, router.
You can go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.

What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
It's likely a hardware issue. The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
Use this article first:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem. You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options. If within warranty it should be free. If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

When I try to load an update for aperture 3.0, I get an error message " you need 3.0 or later loaded". I have V3.1.2 loaded. How can I fix this?
Thanks

Is your Aperture application installed in your "Applications" folder, or did you move it to a subfolder? If you moved it, put it back into the "Applications" folder. Also check the name. If you renamed it, change the name back again to simply "Aperture" without any additions. Otherwise will the updater not recognize your current installation.
