Browsing---long delays states it is 'loading' second third attempt works fine.

When I enter a search topic---there is a long delay--tool bar states 'searching'. If I then re-enter after going out of the screen and then in again---the same thing happens. If I repeat the above---after two or three times search commences like normal.
I find this very frustrating. If I go to another search engine this does not happen.

  • Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Sign into iCloud pop-up message on iPad2 won't disappear off screen, have reset password multiple times but it is saying incorrect. Please HELP unable to use iPad as message appears every few seconds, iPad was working fine until now.

    Sign into iCloud pop-up message on iPad2 won't disappear off screen, have reset password multiple times but it is saying incorrect. Please HELP unable to use iPad as message appears every few seconds, iPad was working fine until now.

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

    Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

    Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

  • I have to open firefox twice otherwise it will freeze. I can see my home page but I cannot browse. If I close it and then reopen it works fine. I have just noticed this after installing the latest version

    Firefox freezes when I open it. I can see my homepage (incomplete) but I cannot browse. The cursor moves but cannot open anything. If I close and reopen firefox it works fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to the latest version of firefox

    These issues are usually caused by firewalls. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

  • Home Sharing won't load on iOS devices - works fine on AppleTV

    I've been struggling with Home Sharing and cannot understand why it simply won't work. I have a relatively large library (25,000 songs/300movies/1000 tv shows). I'm running all Apple devices, all with the latest OS/software versions. AEBS is my router.
    Home Sharing has always worked flawlessly from iTunes on my Mac to AppleTV.
    When I load up the Videos App on and any of my several iPhones and iPads in the house, my Shared Library always appears...
    ...however, if I tap to load it...the spinning circle appears and that's where it ends. It will spin endless for several minutes until it Fails or I stop it.
    What could be the problem here? I've tried all the basic troubleshooting of turning HS on/off, in iTunes and the iOS devices, restarted every device plenty of times...Nothing.
    It used to work intemittently with iOS 6, but not at all on iOS 7.

    Contrary to the marketing, Music or Video using Home Sharing simply does not work on the iPad. I have spent hours on the phone with Apple Care. There is no solution. If you really need to watch video, buy an Apple TV and a small monitor or some other setup. The problem is not with Home Sharing, which works fine between my computers. Neither is it with the Wi-Fi, which I use with the Remote app to load and play the same library that Music stalls on. The problem is with the Music and Video apps, which can only load shared libraries intermittently.

  • Safari won't load Paypal but firefox works fine

    I've seen a few threads on this problem but nothing I've tried seems to work.  Two days ago safari stopped being able to access Paypal on both my Macbook Air and iMac.  Both machines are less than 6 moths old, running the latest OS X and have all the updates installed.  The problem became apparent when I tried to make an eBay purchase and the redirect to Paypal failed.  I tried opening Paypal from Safari directly and it returns the message "Safari cannot open the page "..." because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server."
    So far, I have checked the date & time settings, rebooted everything, checked all the certificates on Keychain deleting any that had expired and I have changed the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 - this had the effect of causing iMessenger to cease to work and also prevented me from accessing the iCloub website stating the same "Failed to open page" message.  In exasperation I have even reinstalled OS X on my Macbook which did work for about thirty seconds, allowing me to login to paypal but on going back to the sight after restarting to double check, it has reverted back to the failed to open page status.  iMessanger and iCloud are now fixed though.
    I have downloaded and opened Firefox and tried the same web address and it works fine.
    The Paypal issue is a mystery therefore that I hope someone can help with as it's effected both my machines and I have had to revert to the iPhone App to pay for anything using Paypal, which is a pain.  Any ideas would be most welcome.

    MIght be a cookies, cache, or extension issue ..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Long delays when saving or loading labview .vis

    I have noticed as my program got larger, that everything has slowed down as far as loading and saving the vi's. I seemed to have tracked it down to a few vi's which are run in re-entrant mode. I call this vi Move.vi. It is called at least 150 times within my entire program. Any time I make a small change to this vi, and save, it takes almost 1 minute. If I change the properties of the vi to Non-Reentrant (which also takes me 1 minute just to see the effect change while the Windows CPU usage hits 100%), the problem is solved.
    Within this vi, I am creating a local reference and passing it to yet another vi, which eventually calls a vi (passes the reference) and continues without waiting for the called vi. to finish (I do end the reference when it is done).
    I am not sure if this is the cause, but it is getting worse as I add more of these Move.vi's into my program. Any ideas?
    PS. This vi is only 56KB large. The vi above it (which calls Move.vi 150 times within its loops), is 1.4MB large.

    On a side note, may I ask what the reason is that you set it to reentrant, this would only make sense if each instance retains local data. But 150 instances!? (See also a similar discussion in this earlier thread. Are the results correct if the VI is not set to reentrant? Any difference in execution time?
    150 different calls of a reentrant VI in a single VI seems like a mindboggling nightmare. Even tightly tiled, these VIs alone would occupy ~400x400 pixels on the diagram. There has to be a better way to do this!

    What kind of reference (VI reference, control reference, etc.). So you probably create 150 individual references (one for each reentrant VI). Are you sure you're closing all of them?
    Can you provide some details on your project, maybe share the small VI with us.

  • Long delay after startup before screen brightness, volume buttons work

    I just started noticing this in the last few days. After I start up, it will be 4 or 5 minutes before I can adjust the screen brightness or volume using the F keys. Also, I noticed that I can't do a "Force Quit" during this time - either by doing the keystroke or by going to the Apple menu. After this "dead period" is over, if I've enacted any of the aforementioned activities, they will appear on the screen all at once.
    I can start and use other applications just fine during this period. It seems like OS X is just not completely done booting up, and that's why I can't get to any of the built-in OS features. I think I would be fine with that if I was still using windows, but I've never had this problem on my mac before. The only things that I've installed in the last few weeks are the Firefox 3 upgrade and (I believe) some pushed updates from Apple - can't remember which apps they were for.
    Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    How much Free space do you have on what size HD?
    Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Or, you can do some of those things another way...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
