Browsers Beachballing when loading pages.

I've been having a serious issue lately: my browsers have been hanging when trying to load pages. Safari is the worst culprit (in fact most of the time I have to force quit the application) but even Firefox is bad on occassion.
It happens sometimes when opening a new tab, and sometimes when just launching the browser. I have no idea what could be causing the problem. Generally it loads a little bit/all the page then beachballs for a good minute or so. Sometimes moving into another application and back will help but not always.
I've run all the system updates but doesn't seem like that's fixed it.
I've uninstalled all the plugins but that doesn't seem to help a whole lot.
Any ideas? Its incredibly frustrating.

Hello,
*"I've run all the system updates but doesn't seem like that's fixed it."*
Your profile indicates you are running 10.5.2. If that is the case, your system software needs updating.
Try maintenance.

Is there sufficient drive space?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Check the hard disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.

Web Browsers hang when loading pages

Hi!
On my early 2011 Macbook Pro webpages take forever to load, and somthimes dont load at all. This happens with all browsers, in safari the blue progress bar stops at the first interval and sits there for a LONG time until it goes on, in Chrome it is hung on " Sending Request " . This does not happen on all webpages, it is random.
If anyone could help that would be great!

Ive fixed the problem. Just go into Chrome preferences > Under the hood and uncheck " Predict network actions to improve page load performance" this fixes the problem. Thanks for your help and I hope that this can help other people with this problem.

Safari crashing all the time when loading pages

About two weeks my Safari (3.1) started crashing really a lot, always when loading pages. I am not aware of having installed any new software, and it is really annoying. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Firefox is not as fast as Safari 3.1 but it's not that slow!
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta, and now Safari 3.1. If Safari 3.1 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 and 3.1 use a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.1.
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-002. Like all security updates, this requires a restart and a permission repair.
As Leopard also uses Safari 3.0.4, much of the above may well also apply to Leopard, but is not guaranteed. Moreover:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Safari in Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

One https site when loading pages driven by aspx Firefox wants to save as a file; doesn't happen in IE or Chrome.

I have been having problems loading https pages from a bank that I have used without issues for a long time. The bank has recently updated their site and this did co-incide with the problem starting. The issue seems to be related to aspx pages. When I click to go to one of the aspx driven pages Firefox wants to download it as a file. If I do that the saved file comes up as HTML text when loaded. No problems when loading the same pages in IE or Chrome. In addition, the bank's older pages did not have this problem with Firefox Betas.

Thanks, that did the trick, although I had to clear the cookie again after loading the site. Having tte cookie there doesn't seem to bother Chrome or IE, so, is this an issue with the way Firefox deals with this site? I have no problem with other banking sites.

Issues when loading pages

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some performance issues when loading a page for the first time. The problem is caused when updating a css file of my own custom theme. When I access a page of the application for the first time, this produces a 404 error but the file truly exists. If I update the page via F5 or I access a different page it loads correctly with times more than acceptable. In contrast, if I update the page via Ctrl+F5 (to clear cache) the same issue occurs.
I performed the same test with another test application with a default theme and working properly.
The configuration I have is Apex 4.1.1 in a Oracle 11.2 and Apex Listener 1.1.4 in a WebLogic server. The file i.war does not pack the images directory directly, this file contains a configuration file which defines a virtual directory, in this way I can modify files on the fly without restarting the listener. If I get this problem and restart the listener everything works right. The configuration file is:
+<weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app">+
++
+<context-root>/i</context-root>+
+<virtual-directory-mapping>+
++
+<local-path>/mnt/fs_servicios/apex/datos/usuarios/apex/applications/apex/images</local-path>+
+<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>+
+</virtual-directory-mapping>+
+</weblogic-web-app>+
What could be the cause of the problem?
Edited by: RideTheStorm on Jan 17, 2013 9:57 AM

In the weblogic log appears this entry:

Firefox uses all CPU resources when loading pages with lots of images.

I just installed XP, and when I load pages with a ton of images, say, tumblr, Firefox uses ALL CPU time until it finishes loading.
But because of the slowdown, it takes forever to download all the images.
It's not related to my connection, I've got 15mbit downstream.
I have Win7 on a different partition, and I have never had this problem.
As far as I know, all my drivers and XP are up to date.
I could have an old driver lurking, should I be looking at something specific?
I've tried to find something on Google, but I've not found anything really helpful...

I haven't gotten around to installing antivirus (or anything else, for that matter).
If I watch in Task Manager, Firefox.exe goes to 100% as soon as I load the page.
And no, that guide didn't help much. I don't have any addons or plugins yet, this is a new install.
I got a huge slowdown a bit ago, it's because it was using almost 1.5GB of RAM o_o

Call branch when loading page

i want my application to load page1 if item1 = 0 or load page2 if item1 = 1
this process must be called when loading page1
the question is how to call redirect from procedure?
or there are any other way to solve this?
I know that it can be solved by Java code, but i don't know it at all.

Write a onload before header procedure that uses owa_util.redirect_url(...); to redirect to a different page. Search this forum for owa_util.redirect_url for usage examples.

Safari slow and freezes when loading pages

Hi I've been having a problem with Safari for the past few months it frequently freezes when loading web pages, sometimes it will eventually load, other times it wont. the blue progress bar in the address bar stops on about 10% with a plain white page it doesn't happen all the time but disturbingly it happens on pages as simple as Google search, not just data heavy sites. other symptoms include having to click links several times to get them to respond and I get the you are not connected to the Internet page when I go to some sites only to try another page from my bookmarks and it will load perfectly.
Any help greatly appreciated its driving me nuts.

I only posted the other post because I hadnt anticipated getting such a quick responce from you , Im on a tight deadline for work and I needed to get this problem sorted a.s.a.p, I didnt think that anybody else would hop onto this discussion Anyway heres the output I get

Spinning beachball when scrolling pages; filling forms

1.3.1 on 10.3.9
Didn't notice when this started, but for some time now, scrolling a page or filling out a form is cumbersome as the program hesitates, often for a few seconds, with a spinning beachball as I move around the pagee or click on buttons. eBay is especially bad. FedEx this AM was also difficult.
I clear cache and keep a pretty tight ship. Any ideas what's going on?

No, because the problem occurs even opening a non-form page.
I'm thinking that it might be a bigger problem with my entire system.
My 500mhz ibook, 640 MB RAM with the same system does not have this problem - Safari is fairly quick.
I'm wondering is something is eating my processing speed.

IPhone 4 randomly not registering first touch when loading page in Safari

I noticed lately that when my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) loads a new page in Safari it randomly sometimes does not register first touch if I try to scroll it. Afterwards everything is fine. Maybe page is still loading and lags somewhere in process. Anybody experiencing the same thing?

Well, it seems that there are people with the same problem. I made a topic at Macrumors as well:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=972030
However they have 3GS but phones are running iOS4 as well leading me to think it's a software issue...
Anybody else having this problem?

Browsers crash when loading the swf!

Hi all
using Mac OSX. Safari, FireFox and Opera sometimes crash when
opening this page:
http://annetteberrydesign.com/index_content_new.php
sometimes they don't crash... It seems random, but they often
crash.
There is something wrong with the swf for sure:
the grey frame (grey lines) that draw at the beginning are
not displaying properly, although they
are displayed properly in authoring mode. (in authoring mode,
two additional lines are drawn, but
they are invisible in the published swf).
The browsers started crashing when I changed the publish
settings to flash version 8 (was previously
flash version 6).
I can't figure out why these lines are invisible in the
published file, and why my browsers randomly
crash when I open this page.
Has anyone experienced this before?...

the most common problems when going from 6 to 8, are:
1. and undefined variable (that's incremented or decremented)
2. a misspelling - myMC was the same as mymc in flash 6, but
not in 8.
with a problem causing a browser crash look for an
out-of-control loop (like a for-loop or while-loop) that may be
creating objects.

Randomly (Edit: when loading pages w/ lots of content: pics) losing connection to router (WRT54GC)

There's just too many threads about connectivity issues, so why not post another one I'm connected directly (cable) to my wireless WRT54GC router and sometimes I lose connection with the router. There are more than one computer connected to the router, when it happens, all computers lose connectivity. So yeah, router is the problem. It seems to happen randomly, about 15 times a day. Can't access the router. Then after a minute or so the connection comes back. It happens so often that I just power down the router then power it up right away and everything is back to normal. When it happens, lights on the router are flashing like everything was normal. Firmware: v1.05.7 Edit: title.
Message Edited by bZEK on 08-05-2008 06:37 PM

You are not alone. My WRT54GC has been doing that since I got it. I bought it for the 802.11G connectivity as I was using a D-Link with only 802.11b. My house is wired but I have 2 laptops that are wireless, hence the switch to the faster wireless... Anyway, I actually switched BACK to the D-Link for a time because I was so frustrated with the dropped connections (could ping the router, but router wasn't going out) on both my wired and wireless PCs. This happened to me on every firmware version I've used with the WRT54GC. 1.05.7 happened the least, though I started avoiding the pages that caused it to drop. It just happened again today while in a video call in Skype, which was a first.
So I feel your pain, and don't think anything but a new fixed firmware will help. I've tried IP adjustments, MTU adjustments. I am doing a MAC address clone, since my ISP still locks to my old P3 450MHz PC from when I first got broadband that I hardly use anymore.
So I, too, am looking for a fix. I always thought Cisco/Linksys would be a safe bet...

Error when loading page in Safari

I am on WiFi via the iPhone. When I try to open a page in Safari, I get this message: "Safari can't open the page. The error was: Operation could not be completed. (POSIX error 12 - Cannot allocate memory) (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)"
Help!

FYI - after playing w/my phone for a while, I was able to ditch the error and surf the net fine.
What I did was go to 'settings,' 'general,' 'reset,' and then 'reset all settings.'
You won't loose data w/this reset option.
Hope this helps and I hope I can find something as to why/how this occurred.

Progress bar when loading page (%)

Hello. I have done an extensive search on this forum but I haven't been able to find exactly how to do this. I want to put one of those progress bars that show the percentage of how the load of the present page is coming along, and how far away from completion it is. For example you click on a page on a site and the page in question takes 45 seconds to 1 minute to load. In that time while the load is taking place the end user sees a progress bar that tells him(her) that the load is 15% along, 10 seconds later it's 25% complete, etc.
There are a couple of pages on a site I built with iWeb that have either a blank or black screen where nothing at all happens until the page is completely loaded. Depending on the browser and the computer this could take between 15 seconds to a couple of minutes. If I have this progress bar then the user can see how far away the load is and decide if they want to wait or not.
I am aware most every browser has this functionality built in. However I am watching out for many of the end users who are not aware of this or where in their browser to look and see how the page load is coming along. I am guessing it's some sort of Java script or HTML Snippet or something like that.
Thank you for your help.

The average surfer will wait 7 seconds for your page to download. Its up to you to make this happen.
Make sure you keep your pages fairly simple and don't overload them with content.
Optimize your photos, compress your movies and load your audio files as MP3 - preferably using a flash player.
Upload to a server other than MobileMe and optimize your files before upload ...

Doing all this will also give your website a chance to load in Internet Explorer.
