Takes a very long time to load pages and is laggy

The new''' FF (4) '''was good at first, but recently it is starting to lack the goodness it once had.
'''It is becoming slower and slower by the day and takes a very long time to load pages. Sometimes the "loading" icon circles for 5 minutes, and whether the page loads or not depends on my luck at that time.'''
Also, it has become seriously '''laggy''':
'''Scrolling''' up and down, typing and '''filling out forms''' (like writing this message) etc have slowed down.
I have deleted the history, and cleared the cache, but to no avail.
Could it be some of the add-ons?
Or is it that FF4 was all hyped up and '''''can't stand to it's name'''''? :)
Please help.
Info: Vista 64-bit, 4GB ram, 2.33GHZ....can't be my computer!

You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*devtools.debugger.source-maps-enabled = false

Safari takes a really long time to load pages...

Hi everyone; hope all is well.
I have a rather annoying issue with Safari and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I noticed a couple of days ago that Safari often takes a very long time to load pages. I have to continually stop downloading the page and then reload it for it to go the next one. When I do this it often loads the page right away. I'm not sure what this might be all about - Safari usually loads pages very quickly. I've tried emptying caches and resetting Safari, etc. but the problem persists. Can anyone help me out?

Try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

My safari is taking a very long time to load pages

I just got my macbook pro and its been acting fine for the past few days. but ive been using it today and its been taking a very long time to load web pages if it even loads them at all. theres a perfect wifi connection and ive already restarted the computer but it still seems to be having a hard time. advice?

Non-responsive DNS server or invalid DNS configuration can cause long delay before webpages load

For the past few days, firefox is taking a very long time to display pages, and often freezes for minutes at a time. Its very frustrating. It happens especially on facebook, but on every website lately.... what to do?

the amount of time it takes to load is so frustrating that i close firefox and use other methods 2 get onto the web. i would rather use firefox, but time is a commodity. please help.

Your MyWebSearch plug-in is the cause of many problems. Google for information and advice on how to get rid of it.
If that doesn't help, you should work your way through this(Safe Mode,Problematic extensions etc ) -

Make sure your plug-ins such as Flash are up-to-date -

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

Web pages taking a very long time to load; nothing wrong with my internet connection.

I've contacted my ISP and they've told me there is nothing wrong on their end and that my modem is running perfectly. I've done a speed test and my upload is 33mbps+ and download is 5.5mbps+.
The problem is, it takes webpages a very long time to load. Sometimes longer than others, but sometimes it's so long I give up. There doesn't seem to be a difference between when I type in a URL or an IP address directly into the address bar.
One night last week I completely lost the ability to connect to any webpages, and then when I woke up in the morning I was having these problems with connection speed, and the problem has persisted for several days.

Hello Billyeee,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:

Sharepoint Report is taking very long time to load

SharePoint(2010) Report is taking very long time to load and display in first attempt but from the next attempt it loads and display result normally. It's urgent..please help how to troubleshoot ...

Hi Kunal,
is there multiple report viewer webpart on page? if so then SharePoint doesn't do well with multiple report viewer web parts. if possible then merge the reports in one.
Try to implement SSRS caching/ Database snapshots for reporting services, it will help you to improve the performance:

Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault. And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

Mac Air takes a very long time when manually putting to sleep

I put my Mac Air in sleep mode from the apple icon after Im dont using it but sometimes takes a very long time to shut down. Then Im not sure if sometimes it goes into sleep mode by itself first. My mac notebook as soon as you hit sleep it shut down instantly. Anyone else have this problem?

Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins). How do I fix this?

My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down. I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart How do I fix all this?

Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair permissions.
Good luck,
Clinton

I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

After installing Lion my time machine using a Time capsule backups take a very long time, particularly indexing the back up, does any one know why and a fix?

I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard and noticed a marked increase in the time it takes my time capsule/time machine to back up. It seems to spend a very long time indexing the back up. Does any one know why and more importantly is there a "fix"?

The first index with Lion takes a very long time. Could take over 10 hours. You just have to wait. You can see the progress by opening Console and entering backupd in the search box
