Browser problems in Yosemite

I bought a new 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina (2,5ghz, 16gb memory) a week or so ago and I'm having incredible trouble with browsers. I use Chrome, but since switching to the new machine from an older 15-inch MacBook Pro running Mavericks, it has been virtually unusable. It hangs while loading pages, sometime failing to load them at all, despite the fact that my internet connection is running at a solid 30gb. I'll often see a message in the status window saying 'Establishing secure connection' while this is happening. I've tried using different browsers, but the problem also crops up in Firefox and Safari. The issue is intermittent, but pops up with far too much regularity. After a bit of searching round I found some suggestions that it might be a DNS issue, so I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.8.4. That seemed to improve things for a day or so, but the problem has now come back. This was not a problem I ever encountered before upgrading to my new Yosemite machine, so it seems like an issue with the new OS. I've also done side by side tests with the new and old computer to confirm that it isn't just a problem with the websites themselves. Is anyone else having similar difficulties and if so, does anyone have a fix? It's incredibly frustrating that my brand new machine is unable to reliably browse the internet.

That shouldn't happen with any Mac, let alone a new one. Did you contact AppleCare? Telephone support is completely free for the first 90 days of ownership, and longer by purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan. Use the Contact Us link below. Do not blindly follow the results of a web search for "apple support" since the first results it returns are often scams.
... I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8/8.8.8.4.
I doubt that will do anything beneficial. Delete those entries and use your ISP's DNS unless you have justifiable reasons for choosing something else. I surmise you were attempting to use Google Public DNS whose correct addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - not 8.8.8.4.
If you are in a location where AppleCare is not an option for you, consider using Apple's Wireless Diagnostics - hold an option key while selecting your Mac's Wi-Fi icon and select Open Wireless Diagnostics... It may provide some information useful to you.

    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

  • Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

    Hello,
    I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links.  The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work.  They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect.  And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong.  Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working.  The address to the site is below.
    http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
    I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone.  Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
    Hope someone can help me with this!

    When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine.  This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
    I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page.  Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

  • Embedded pictures in g-mail do not get thru when forwarded. Google claims it's a browser problem. how do I fix this?

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, Firefox 3.6.16
    This problem started up about 4 months ago. I thought it was a Google problem, but Google claims it's a browser problem. The same problem happens with Internet Explorer. I checked the Google website and many people are having this same problem. And Google is totally unresponsive.
    Attached pictures go thru fine, but if I get an e-mail from someone with embedded pictures in the message, when I forward that message, the receiver does not get the pictures...only a red X in a blank box.
    How can this be fixed?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • CS6 Media Browser Problem

    When using the Media Browser in Premiere Pro to view files in a folder that contains many files (100+), the browser keeps jumping back to the beginning after viewing a few of dozen files.  I then have to scroll back down to the last place I was and then I can continue a little further before the browser jumps back to the beginning again.   The files do not open instantly -- there is a finite time where the message "processing ..." is displayed.  I gave up before getting to the end.   I doubt that I have an under-resourced computer since it is a i7-3770K with 32GB RAM and a GTX670 card.  Is there a limit to the number of files that can be viewed in the Media Browser?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    P.S.  Just did a search on the problem and I see that it is a well known issue.

    Hi guys !
    Just wanted to post because we had the same problem on 4 different computers with different configurations.
    It was really annoying to have this jumping/refreshing media browser problem. At a point, that this browser was useless.
    Then we had a problem with droping sound editing r3d code... Kind of a deal breaker, when the company claims that you can edit 4K r3d files no ?
    We finally figured out that the Media Cache and the Media Cache files NEEDS to stay in the original folders (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common).
    Even if everybody on the web tells you to dedicate a single SSD just for the media cahe, it won't work for Premiere pro. DON'T MOVE THOSE FOLDERS !
    Removing those folders to the original place (C:\Users\nameofuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common) [again]  solved the problem for us. Hope it will work for you guys.
    Don't blame Adobe, i'm sure they'll read my post to fix this in the next version of premiere

  • Massive sound problems in Yosemite

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing massive sound problems with Yosemite. It basically effects everything except the sound control in the control centre.
    What happens:
    I can't control the sound volume anymore. Key board sound control does not respond (sound symbol is struck out), sound bar in menu bar in greyed out.
    If sound symbols are not greyed out, the sound will stay on the level it currently is. Neither key board nor menu bar icon can change the volume.
    When it happens:
    When I plug/un-plug headphones.
    When I use iTunes. iTunes will even stop playback... the only chance to get iTunes back to normal is restarting the app.
    When I use Skype.
    Occasionally on any incident... there is no app in particular linked to this.
    What I do to get around it:
    Restarting the mac... this will help until I sent my Mac to sleep or do any of the things above.
    Accessing sound control via the control centre (which is work around, yet very annoying).
    Killing sound via terminal does not do anything.
    Btw. there is only one thing listed in the sound input/output menu.
    This problem is very annoying and occurs several times daily, especially since I work a lot with sound and music. I know this an weary argument, but considering what I paid for this machine ... bla bla bla... I need a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Andy

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I have. It works pretty much like any re-start does. As soon I use headphones or send my Mac to sleep, it goes back to unresponsive sound control.
    Edit: Just tried it again and it didn't do anything. Key board sound control is still greyed out...
    Any other suggestions?

  • I need help with a browser problem

    I am was given a new iMac G3 (from 2001) which was really never used.I have not yet had any serious problems with it, but really could use some help with a browser problem.
    I have 4 different web browsers that needs the macro media flash player update. The browsers I use are internet explorer, iCab, Netscape, and the original Mozilla Firefox.
    It would be of great appreciation for the readers of this post to answer my question.
    I am also having the problem with installing the plug - ins for the browsers. Thank You For Taking the Time To read This!

    Hi, rynodino -
    As Tom has suggested, plugins need to be installed in the Plug-Ins folder for the browser.
    Typically each browser will have its own Plug-Ins folder, usually located in the same folder containing the browser itself. In order for each of several browsers to access the same plugins, the plugins must be replicated and placed in each of the Plug-Ins folders for each of the browsers. The easy way to do that is to hold down the Option key while dragging a plugin to the new location - a copy (not an alias) of the plugin will be generated at the location it is dragged to.
    Most plugins will display a Netscape icon regardless of where they are located - this is normal.
    It is not unusual for the installer for a plugin to default its install to the Plug-Ins folder for Internet Explorer. So be it. Just replicate the new plugin to the other Plug-Ins folders as needed.
    Note that some plugin installs will involve more than one item. For those, be sure to replicate all items for it. Using labels can help identify what is new, what has been most recently added, in a Plug-Ins folder.

  • Email/browser problem

    Hi  
    About 2 weeks ago I suddenly discovered I was unable to open any web links attached to my emails.
    When I clicked on the address, the browser, at that time, Mozilla Firefox, home page came up and the loading sign appeared in the top left hand corner. After approx 15 seconds a message appears which say the pages cannot be accessed and to kill or wait.
    After attempting to fix the problem I uninstalled Firefox and made Google Chrome my default browser. only to find the same problem exists. The only way I can open the internet address is to copy it from the email and then paste it into the address bar of
    the browser. Have you any suggestions as to how I can fix this annoying problem?
    Many thanks
    GMMagic

    Hey, you can try to reinstall the browser problems. Probably it will help.

  • Browsing Problem

    Hello everyone, I have a page browsing problem in my website.
    Everytime when people click into 1 of the option in my website. It
    will jump to the top section in the new window.
    Here is what I want to do:
    When audience click into 1 of the option from the navigation

    instead the top of the page.
    Is there any thing I can do within the design mode??
    Thx for helping me.

    Are you using frames? If so, you need to target your links to
    proper frame.
    Or better yet, DON'T use frames! (Ask Murray why.)

  • Weird browser problems

    I've been having a very strange browser problem intermittently over the past few months. Periodically, I'll be unable to access certain sites that I know are functioning properly, both in Safari and Firefox. Sometimes I'll get really bizarre error messages, other times the browser will redirect to a completely unrelated site. I know the problem isn't with the site itself, because although it happens both on FF and Safari, it works fine when viewed on my iPhone or another computer. For example, there was a period of a few hours during which every time I went to amazon.com, it redirected to some other site I'd never heard of before (don't remember the name). Most recently, trying to go to twitter resulted in this:
    The text says "Wiki does not exist" and then there's a bunch of wiki related text and links. The text in the address bar still says "twitter.com", though the favicon is not correct. When I try to go to twitter on FF I get a standard error message, but again I am able to access the page on my iPhone. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Thanks.

    Sounds like DNS look-up problem.

  • Problems using Yosemite

    Problems using Yosemite:
    -cannot find previously purchased audiobooks on iTunes
    -cannot find all previously purchased apps on Apps
    -cannot use files made in iWork 08 (Pages and Numbers) with the new Pages and Numbers in Yosemite
        -have iWork 08 and never upgraded to iWork 09
        -find it hard to believe there is no backward compatibility
    Help?

    Your first two questions need to be asked in the Yosemite forum.
    For your iWork '08 question:
    The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. Keep in mind that the new versions are a significant downgrade from any previous version. If you want to use the latest versions of the iWork apps I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
    Your iWork '08 apps will run in Yosemite as long as they are updated to the latest - Keynote 4.0.4, Pages 3.0.3, Numbers 1.0.3.

  • FIrefox Browser problem- S... when I press 9 FIrefox zooms out? when I press 0 Firefox zooms in?

    FIrefox Browser problem- Suddenly now when I press the 9 number key (or 6) FIrefox zooms out and when I press a 0 number key Firefox zooms in. This just started happening 2 days ago.
    I am using a Mac and I have the latest Firefox . No updates of any kind have occurred in the past 4-5 days, so I must have inadvertedly activated this.
    How can I deactivate this?
