Safari slow on new macbook pro 2015 early

Safari worked very well at first on my brand new MacBook Pro but now after a few days websites are slow to load and are too frequently hanging. I've cleared the cache, restarted, unticked Web GL and searched for answers to no avail. This is a big problem. Does anyone else have this issue? Found a solution? I do not want Chrome or Firefox.

Go step by step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

Premiere CS6 running so slow on new MacBook Pro

Slow brand new Macbook pro- almost all ram being used up!

I just purchased my first mac a few weeks ago- a 13 inch macbook pro running snow leopard. I have been experiencing surprisingly slow performance- computers older than mine or others of the same model quickly multitask while I frequently sit watching the pinwheel spin. This problem seems especially evident when browsing. When using firefox or safari, when several tabs are open scrolling through pages is slow/delayed and opening new tabs freezes the computer for several seconds.
This occurs with only a couple of other programs open- maybe only itunes and ical for example. Meanwhile older and equivalent computers appear able to run even more programs simultaneously without such slow performance.
Using the Activity Monitor- it appears that 1.9 of my 2 gigs of ram are being used up. This seems unusual to me as not much is running. I still have 70 gigs of hard drive space available and have been keeping up with software updates. CPU is 89% free/idle.
Any suggestions or explanations for a new mac user? This new computer is rivaling my old PC running winodws xp in how slow it can run.
Thanks

The same thing happened to me when I upgraded my older Mac Pro to 10.6. It turned out one process, #112 "coreaudiod," was using almost 100% of the CPU time. Use Apple's "Activity Monitor" in your Utilities folder to find out if you have a process using up the CPU.
In my case, I deleted "com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist" from the launchdaemons folder in the system library, restarted the computer, and that solved the problem.

Express very slow with new MacBook Pro

I have a 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini and an AirPort Express. When I connect to this network with a 1st gen Core Duo (802.11G) machine, transfer rates between computers run at typical G speeds. When I connect with the 2.4 Ghz machine, transfer rates between it and the Mini are much, much slower - less than 20% as fast as the 802.11G MBPro.
All machines have updates and show four bars of signal strength. I have no idea why the new MBPro is so dramatically slow.

Lion slow with new MacBook Pro 15"

I just bought a MacBook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz intel Core i7 4GB DDR3 RAMwith an AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB of GDDR5. The laptop is brand new and I'm getting these hiccups in iTunes. Also when I'm watching any movie or video on iTunes I get skipped scenes as well. My Laptop is uptodate its running 10.7.1. In Safari it takes forever to load and I know its not my internet connection. I see the beach ball often and iTunes is a pain to work with. I remember it used to run smooth now its just a pain in the *** to use. Can anyone help me?

DO NOT use Tech Tool Pro on your Intel Mac. It is only a PPC version. TTP has not released an Intel version yet.
TechTool Pro hasn't been, but the Intel version of TechTool Deluxe was released sometime in the last few days. I couldn't say if that's the version Nancy is using, of course, but it is finally available for download (with instructions to create a bootable CD) for those who have enrolled an AppleCare Protection Plan.

ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?

Hi all,
I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
Thanks in advance!

It's possible the DNS setting your ISP is using are interfering. Although your PC works OK Macs can be sensitive to DNS settings. Here is a MacWorld DNS Troubleshooting article that explains the issue and below is how to fix it.
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences
11. Try out your MBP and report what happened.

I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
But thank you for your reply!

New MacBook Pro is slow?

My new MacBook Pro is very slow. It has the most advanced hardware so it should be faster. If it goes down to "rest mood" where the screen goes black it takes more than a minute to get back again. The computer is less than two months old.
What am I doing wrong? I have nearly nothing stored on the computer and no heavy programs at all so far.
Thanks

Time for a trip to the Apple store genius bar. Your MBP is still under warranty and should be FAST!
Ciao.

My new MacBook Pro with Retina is very slow to start

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina and surprised/disappointed at how long it takes to show the log in screen. Is this normal? It is slower than my old MacBook.

You are welcome
Many banks are Windows-centric and are concerned about blocking the Swiss cheese software holes. Apple people do not need that junk...and the overhead that comes along with it.

Brand new macbook pro slows down after I transfer files on from old computer

Hey, I just purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 3.5 GhZ Haswell processor, 500 gb of flash memory, 16 gb of RAM, OS X Mavericks, 17" retina display and while it's been great upon first booting up after I transferred over my music and books and docs from my old mac (about 150 gb worth (so I still have over 300 gb free on the new one)) I've seen a massive slow down and it's started giving me the beach ball of death which was the main reason I got a new macbook as my old one was beach balling so much it was nearly unusable. Very upset that this brand new stupidly expensive computer is already doing this. Any advice is apppreciated.

Either your RAM is no good, of poor quality, the wrong specs or it's not installed correctly or it got subjected to static electricity when you put it in.
Best Buy isn't as Mac centric, thus the quality of RAM that Mac's require may not be there.
You should have purchased from Crucial.com or Other World Computing or similar that tests the RAM to make sure it works the first time you put it in, as it costs everyone money to ship bad RAM back and forth.
I put in 16GB a couple of days ago, took five minutes and it works perfectly.
Nothing like top tier RAM for a top of the line machine, especially with all those tiny, easy to lose screws Apple uses.

New MacBook Pro slower wifi than iBookG4

My new MacBook Pro tests at a slower download speed than my iBook G4 1.42 GHz.
I am running a wireless network using a Belkin router (b&g enabled) on a cable network connection (20Mb/2Mb).
When connected via ethernet, the MacBook Pro gets 20,000 kbps download. When connected via wifi, it gets 7-10,000 kbps. (DNS servers are identified and listed in the network control panel.)
The iBook gets 15,000-20,000 kbps via wifi. The iBook is running 10.4.11.
Is this a function of the MacBook Pro or Leopard?
(speeds measured with repeated tests at speakeasy.net).

You can definitely thank Leopard for that.

Brand new Macbook Pro slower than my 2006 Macbook

I bought a new Macbook Pro last month and upgraded the RAM to 4 GB and the hard drive to 500 GB. My previous Mac was a mid-2006 Macbook with 2 GB RAM.
I was expecting it to be noticeably faster than my 2006 Macbook (which is still running Tiger/10.4), but it isn't. Two things are particularly noticeable.
1) Startup time. The 2006 Macbook is 5 or 10 seconds faster starting up.
2) Safari. Safari is a couple of seconds faster loading identical websites on the 2006 Macbook. I tried updating Safari on the Macbook Pro to the new Safari 4 beta, and that is slightly faster, but still noticeably slower than on my Macbook.
I've tried running the set of Applescripts called "Maintenance" (available on the web) to do all regular maintenance tasks.
I've run software update. Everything is up to date.
Any suggestions of other things I should be checking to try to improve the speed of my Macbook Pro are much appreciated.
I find it really mystifying that performance is so noticeably worse on a brand new, much more powerful machine.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
In re the OS, I personally don't see many significant improvements in OS 10.5. Sure, little things here and there, but major power improvements over 10.4 that should cause startup time to be slower? I don't see it. I'm surprised in the design phase Apple's software engineers would allow longer startup time (always one of their biggest selling point over the Windows world) in return for such things as being able to hit the space bar in the finder to open a document quickly. I'm not using Time Machine, for instance, so that shouldn't be slowing down startup... or at least actually loading it in functioning mode shouldn't be slowing things down.
In re Safari, I'm doing as scientific a test as I possibly can here at home. Both computers sitting right next to each other, connected to the same network wirelessly, clicking on the same web link at exactly the same time. My 2006 Macbook is consistently faster at loading the page. Even more, it is significantly faster at loading the page to a "usable" point. For instance, if I click on the main page of the New York Times, the 2006 Macbook will load faster and will let me scroll down much earlier in the load process. On the 2009 MBP, the page shows up a few seconds slower, and it takes another few seconds more before the spinning beach ball stops and I can scroll down on the page. This is true both with Safari 3 and 4 on the MBP.
I just find it weird that a much more powerful computer, with a "new, improved" operating system and twice the amount of RAM, is noticeably more sluggish on these really basic tasks.
My next step is to go to the Apple store and try to compare mine to some other MBPs...
I have issues with some developments at Apple recently. For instance, the gen 2 iPod shuffle strikes me as a perfect design. Does it need to be smaller? Moving the controls to the headset seems really weird to me, much less convenient than the old one. I know that comment is OT, I just am starting to wonder about some decisions at Apple.
Not enough to make me complain seriously... I still vastly prefer Apple to the other options. But that sense I had for years that somebody really smart is paying attention to all these details and getting them right... that's starting to fade away for me. On the other hand, I do not have an iPhone and I think it's clear a lot of Apple's resources are going into the iPhone these days.

Why is my new macbook Pro 2012 running slow

I bought my Macbook pro a couple days ago, I have made all the updates to it and is now freezing and showing the pinwheel all the time. I ran this computer side by side with my old 2011 macbook pro and this "new" one is running much slower.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
Thanks for your time and help.
