Stunnigly slow load time. It isn't my system, because both Chrome and Safari load in less han ten seconds. Firefox is too bloated.

Folks, I don't use Firefox much anymore. Why? Because the load time has become ridiculous. Chrome and Safari both load in less than ten seconds. Firefox can take up to a minute. And usually does. It has become bloated. It has lost the intent. You say the fox is the fastest? It isn't. Either in load time or search time. Chrome smashes the fox. Simpler, cleaner, faster. Isn't that what Firefox was all about in the beginning? You folks need to take a giant back step.

Agreed...I'm considering jumping ship. Too many crashes, hangs constantly, too many secure sites the server can longer find even though they've been bookmarked for ages, takes forever to load and plug-in issues galore. It's sad, the last 6 months have been horrendous and nothing is getting fixed with all the constant updates. No one should have to clear cookies and cache as much as is always suggested here just to get pages to load that load on other browsers with no problem.

b,
The install was from my original Dell XP Pro-SP1 'Reinstallation' CD along with the complete MS XP-SP2 download that I burned to another CD. I also had all the latest Dell drivers from their website burned to a CD. Install went as follows:
- Format HD
- Install XP Pro SP1
- Install SP2
- Install Dell Drivers
- Obtain any MS patches from their site
- Install Office
- Update Office from the MS website
- Install iTunes
- Tweak MS settings
- Install many software programs
- Make an interim Image of system and store to ExHD
- Install other software programs (mostly security programs)
- Make another 'complete' Image to ExHD
- Restore backup data and music
After additional testing last night, I determined that it is not iTunes at all (or to blame). I get intermittent hangs/freezes/pauses in other media players (WMP, etc.).
Seems that something is causing the 'System' process to periodically jump up in CPU %age (though not more than 30-50%). Even this relatively small amount is enough to pause the playback of music or video, hang the mouse movement for a brief moment, or delay a menu opening. All very subtle - you have to be looking for it to notice (except with real-time audio-video, which is quite noticeable whenever this happens).
I had this problem a year ago, which is why I reimaged then and stayed with SP1 on the advice of Dell and Webroot. I'm stumped as to where to look for the culprit. Every time I go back to the original HD with SP1, everything runs smoothly. Some sort of system call is generating this complete pause....
I'll be limited in my Internet ability for the next several days, so I may be out of touch until Friday. I'll keep testing and playing with the limited equipment I take along....
Any thought you or others want to toss out, I'll attempt when possible.
Thanks!

Slow render times with large jpegs - complete system lag

In a project i'm working on I have two large jpegs with a small zoom scaling effect. Going from 100 to 103 percent.
I've noticed that both Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere Pro experience a heavy slow down in render time as soon as the jpegs have to be rendered.
Not only does the render speed almost come to a halt, the complete system lags very heavy, even the mouse cursor won't respond well.
This happens when i have GPU acceleration enabled and when i do a 2 pass H264 encoding.
When I have the GPU acceleration disabled the render goes very smooth, and doesn't seem to slow down...
The jpeg is 4023 x 2677, and 6,97 MB large.
Scaling the jpeg down to about 1920x1080 in Photoshop and put that one in the timeline made the render go a lot faster.
I understand that a large picture takes a bit more time to be rendered, but we're talking about a 10minute render whit the large jpeg file and a 2 minute render with the jpeg resized.
The total time of the two jpegs in the video is 5 seconds in a 3 minutes video.
So, that made me think that the render times are exponentially long.
In the timeline everything runs really smooth.
Is this considered normal, I can't remember having such big differences in CS5. It's not a major thing, but I wanted to share anyway.
My system:
Premiere Pro CC (latest)
i7 4930K
32 GB RAM
2xGTX480
Footage and project on a Raid0 disk
Previews/Cache on a Raid0 disk

Sluggish at initial opening and loading websites, google maps print and images not working right, problems are not present in Chrome and Safari

Firefox is very slow opening. Web pages load slowly. When I go to images in a Google search, the pictures take a long time to load, and when I click on an image, then the back arrow, the loading time for the previous page is very slow. When I print a Google map, it is small, rather than full-page. In Google Chrome or Safari, the same actions product immediate results. I cannot get Google desktop to work.

This sounds like a network problem, since it goes away when you connect through a different network. You'll need to talk to your university's IT department about this.

Loading youtube videos crashes my browser - both mozilla firefox and safari. Now I can't get firefox to load any page, although safari still works. It started when I clicked on a youtube link on FB 2 weeks ago. Any ideas, anyone?

youtube is crashing my browser - both firefox mozilla and safari. Now I cannot load firefox browser at all, but safari still works - except for youtube, which immediately crashes it....any ideas, anyone?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Suddenly my firefox loads SO slowly. I launch firefox first and then Safari and Safari loads pages before firefox enen begins too. Also a LOT more adds show pages I looked at previously.

Several weeks ago Firefox suddenly was / is very slow to load all pages. I launch Firefox. Wait. Launch Safari. Safari loads page while I am still waiting for Firefox.
Why?

Do you use NoScript? There's possibly an issue with NoScript where certain settings cause Firefox to load HTTPS pages on startup very slowly.

Can I have both V6 and V5 loaded at the same time?

I am going to keep V6 but would like to reload V5.
Is this possible running both versions? When updates for V6 are available I would like to give them a try. But for the time being almost all of my iMovie videos have Gee Slick transitions. Many crash V6 or just turn black and will not render. If it is possible to run both versions I would like to know if there are any pit falls I should look out for.
PowerPC G4 Dual1.42 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.4) 2 GB DDR SDRAM

Yes, there are several posts here about how to do this. Very quickly . .
If you have already install v6, you will have to remove it.
Then, install v5 and rename the app, so v6 will not write over it.
Now reinstall v6.

Clean install of Mavericks, Netflix HD slow in chrome and safari

I did a clean install this morning, but netflix still lags and becomes unsynced when I play hd streams. I have a macbook pro 15 early 2011 with the 2.3 ghz i7, 8gb of ram, and the 1gb 6750m, so i think that I should be able to play netflix totally fine. The only thing that worries me is that I have the higher res screen option (1680 x 1050) which I guess might be impacting performance, but I am not sure. Is this just a software thing or is my computer not able to play netflix hd streams?
I have noticed general choppyness around the system. Is this just a symptom of the hd display? Help is appreciated!
Also I ran etre check while playing a stream and you can see that the cpu usage for chrome isn't that high, so it doesn't seem to me that there is a hardware issue.

Any MacBook Pro from the past decade is certainly able to support Netflix HD. So, it could be an OS problem, or it could be a network problem. It's not likely a hardware issue if normal web browsing works normally.
Have you considered that the problem may not be your Mac at all? It's all over the news for months that there are ongoing Net Neutrality / throttling issues occuring between ISPs and Netflix. Just Google "Netflix" and you'll see what I mean. Your Mac may be fine, the bandwidth you have paid your ISP for is likely more than suitable, yet money-grabbing ISPs are purposely either throttling streaming media, or are purposely not upgrading their networks to support the required traffic, or are not playing fairly in making peering agreements.
I can offer a few suggestions to try to determine if it's your Mac or your ISP.
The first thing to try is to connect your MacBook Pro directly to your home router using an Ethernet cable and then try Netflix. If it works, then you have a problem with your Wireless network.
If that doesn't work, then try another device on your home network that is capable of using the new Netflix HD resolution. So, try a game console or another computer to see it you can stream HD content from Netflix from any of them. If the same symptoms occur, then it's not your Mac and you can try a few other things. Or, take your MacBook Pro to a friends house that has a different ISP and see if it works from there.
If it still seems to be your MacBook Pro then first try reinstalling the latest Silverlight player from Microsoft.
If you think it's your ISP, then you can try several things that are commonly discussed in the ongoing Netflix vs. ISP news:
* Call your ISP's support and make them work with you to solve the issue.
* Change DNS server settings to OpenDNS or Google's DNS servers
* Use a VPN service to attempt to mask your Netflix traffic from your ISP.
* If you have another ISP available in your area, do some research to see if their customers are having the same problem, and if not, seriously consider changing ISPs. If that's an option, call your current ISPs customer support and tell them that you will be switching ISPs because they are interferring with streaming media. Then do it!
* Call your congressman and tell them to support Net Neutrality legislation, and to help influence getting the FCC to declare ISPs as "common carriers".
* If your ISP offers a "Business-class" service. Consider that instead of consumer service. It's more costly, but many ISPs don't (yet) interfere with Business-class services.
Good luck. Hopefully it's something within your control such as your wireless network, and not your ISP.

Erasing Time Machine hard drive after formatting for both PPC and Intel

Ok, I made a mistake. First I formatted a Western Digital 500 gig hard drive for both my wife's PPC G4 laptop and my own Intel MBP laptop, so we could both use Leopard's Time Machine for backing up to the same drive. That wasn't my mistake though, it's been working fine. I formatted my partition using the GUID option and hers using the Apple Partition Map option (I think that's what they are called, I'm going from memory).
Here's my mistake: I needed some extra space to store some files and read that I could Re-Partition the drive without erasing anything using Disk Utility. Sounded great. I first tried to partition my wife's partition, since she had more extra space, but then I realized that was a bad idea since I had formatted her partition with using the Apple Partition Map, so I stopped and then tried to Re-Partition my side. It worked for about an hour: my Time Machine backup drive appeared, my new partition appeared, but then... her partition disappeared! Usually whenever one of us plugs in the hard drive using the firewire cable, both partitions appear, Time Machine Goes to work, and that's that. When we need to disconnect from the drive we have to eject both drives, but no big deal. Now her drive isn't appearing.
So... I tried to repair it, no good. Tried to erase both her partition and mine (to just start over): no good. I can't do anything to either of these partitions now, from either computer. Tried everything I could think of in Disk Utility, from both computers. Won't erase, won't re-partition. Not a hardware issue: it all started when I did this stupid Re-Partition. Help!!!!
I want to erase the drive and start over. Can anyone advise??

Jasonmo,
First, let's talk about the various partition schemes. A partition scheme applies to the entire drive. Specifically, these are different maps written to the drive, within which volumes are created. As such, this is an either/or thing; your drive is partitioned using either the GUID Scheme, or the Apple Scheme, not both.
"Live" partitioning or re-sizing of existing volumes is supported only under the GUID Partition Scheme. If the drive wasn't using this scheme, you would not be able to re-size as you were attempting to do. Even re-sizing under the GUID scheme requires that the drive's maps and directory structures be in very good shape, if it is to work without hitch.
Are you absolutely certain that there isn't some physical problem with the drive, or with its interface (cables and such)? If it is operating normally, you should be able to re-partition it without problems. In DIsk Utility, select the drive (not a named volume that will appear indented underneath), then click the "Partition" tab. If you wish to be able to re-size volumes later, you must choose the GUID scheme from the "Options..." dialogue sheet. Set appropriate sizes for the volumes, then click "Apply." Doing so will destroy all current volumes and data on the drive.

Can i use time capsule as external hard drive for both mac and windows

I have a mac book pro, ipad and iphone and ipod and a windows pc
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?

You cannot access the TC from iOS devices without a browser. eg filebrowser.
Can i use time capsule as a external hard disk only for all of the above ( including windows ) without the back up activity for mac ?
Yes, with the following proviso.. the TC is not able to back itself up.. so if you store files on the TC without backups one day you will discover all your files are gone because of a hard drive failure of the TC. TM also cannot backup TC.. so you will need to buy a proper backup software.
It is also much slower than a real NAS..
And windows can be a bit painful.. especially windows 8.. other versions should work if you spend the time getting everything set right.

Time Machine can't back-up because MBP overheats and shuts down

I LOVE my 2006 MBP! However, almost since the first time I tried making movies on it, it has crashed. Just suddenly went black. Thankfully, I've always (knock on wood!) been able to re-start when this happens. This would also occur when I set it up to do a Time Machine back-up.
It was only in the last couple years that I realized that the computer was truly overheating, and after doing some research, installed SMC fan control. With SMC, I learned that my fans were barely moving at all. Now, when I know I'm doing something that requires a lot of energy, I boost the fans to their max 6000rpm. And when I see that the temp has climbed over 200°F I quit whatever program I'm in and wait for it to cool down. LOVE that SMC!!!
BUT, that means I've never been able to do a complete back-up, which is really starting to make me nervous. This baby is no spring chicken! I bought a new Seagate external drive, maxed out the fans and started my TM backup. Within a few minutes, the temp was over 200 and I'd backed up maybe 8GB out of the 256GB. I started several more backups but was forced to stop them because of the temps. (I've seen them over 230 before the computer goes black.) At this rate, it will take months of my babysitting it while TM runs and I monitor the temp.
I should say that I always use the MBP on a well ventilated wire stand. I don't play games or watch movies. Photo editing and digital scrapbooking can ramp up the heat, but I try hard to keep an eye on the temp and stop what I'm doing if it gets over 200.
So what can I do to get a complete backup of this machine? What's the coolest (literally!) way to back up a hard drive? I'd rather not invest in iCloud and I realize it is not infallible, so should still have another method of retrieving my data, but maybe it's the least heat generating? I have quite a few photos in online storage, but not all and my iTunes library is HUGE and unbacked up.
I don't consider myself a techie (though I adore those of you who are!) in any sense of the word and get REALLY nervous if someone would tell me to go into the "guts" of my computer, so any suggestions should take that into account.
All that said, what would you suggest I do to make a complete backup? I would REALLY appreciate some assistance! Thanks in advance!

PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
I went to this page:
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

I have recently experienced "waiting for" many web sites to respond or load. Using Bit Defender security, and both Chrome and Firefox 6. what's up?

I am running Vista. Updates are current. Recently installed Bid Defender security. Have reloaded Firefox 6 several times, Google Chrome also. both browsers say they are "waiting" for either the website, or some ad to respond much more often and longer than before. Any suggestions?

Sorry Tominique, great answer to the question I didnt ask. I know how to add data to my plan.
My point is, my usage pattern has changed little. yet I am using at a rate 5 times what I was before. And I rarely stream content so I know thats not it. And the times I do, does not coincide with those ridiculous usage figures.
I get that having more bandwidth will open a stream "wider" so to speak and cause more data usage in order to get better quality. However, in the case of Audio, that extra usage doesnt even come close to justifying these kinds of figures. Much less when posting at 4am when I am fast asleep.
And forgive me for being a bit curt, but does my post read like I needed to be told that using wifi will save me cell data usage? I know it was pretty long, but at least read it carefully before proposing something so mundanely simplistic.
And Brian68- Yup, I agree Spot on with you on song size. A 10mb song is a 10mb song. Doesn't matter how fast the stream is. I could see music being compressed, but it most definitely doesn't get any bits added just because the bandwidth opens up. lol What? VZW somehow upgraded my itunes match content from 256kb up to lossless? doubtful.

Stunnigly slow load time. It isn't my system, because both Chrome and Safari load in less han ten seconds. Firefox is too bloated.
