Delay in loading web pages using wireless after 10.5.6 update.

I've read the posts for the 10.5.5 updates, but I have been recently experiencing this problem after updating to 10.5.6.
It is seemingly a DNS problem because of the delay in "Looking up" and "Waiting for" in Firefox, but I do not have DNSchanger trojan. I have done everything from entering the known DNS statically, dynamically, OpenDNS on either or both the router and laptop.
I experience no problems at all when connecting to the router directly w/ an ethernet cable. And my download speeds, whether P2P or a large file through webserver is similar to what I experienced before the 10.5.6 update.
I understand that it could be my ISP, but I was surfing fine less than a week ago. Is it merely a coincidence that I updated to 10.5.6? Any further suggestions?

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Delay in loading web pages after airport express installation

Hello, I had my intel imac hooked up to dsl directly through ethernet (PPPoE), and I had really fast internet browsing. I then got an airport express, hooked it up to create a wireless network, and it worked, except that, while loading a new web page in firefox, it has a delay of about 13 seconds before it starts loading the page (spinning circle showing in the tab). Once the first items appear on the page, its very very quick, but it just takes 13 seconds to start. Does anyone know what this means, and how I can fix it?

Mega delay in loading web pages - help please

For the last week I have been experiencing very slow web page loading on both a Win 7 PC and a Mac OSX, both are connected by ethernet to the HH
It takes about 20 secs to load most sites. The browser start to load then hangs for 20 secs.
The HH was up for 3 months and reset itself two weeks ago.
Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?
Ping times are pretty bad
Pingtest.net just now shows 271ms and 19 ms jitter
Here is my HH stats

Now email is also affected.
All three email accounts are intermittent, especially the BT internet main email account.
Cannot contact server is the favourite error message.
As others have had similar connection problem perhaps one of the nice MODS could actually find out what is happening in the BT network?

Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Issues loading web pages on brand new machi after using migration assistant

ast week my old macbook pro died and i purchased a new 13" mbp. I brought it home the first day i bought it and just turned it on and started playing with it and the internet was blazing fast, no issues at all. I then brought it back to the apple store where they peformed a migration from my old hdd to my new macbook pro. I then took it back to my dorm and connected to the same exact internet and now i am having problems loading web pages. Sometimes the page will load on the first try (click) and other times it will hang there loading but never fully load the page, and if it does load somewhat certain things are missing from the page. So i have to click the link again, and again, and sometimes again for it to finally load correctly. I dont know what is wrong but i have a feeling it is files from my old system conflicting with new ones when it comes to loading web pages. Everything is up to date the OS and firefox and i am having the same issues in safari. Also my ipad and blackberry have no problem connecting to the wifi so that is not the issue. I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.

First place to look is your System Preferences/Network DNS Server Settings ...
If you haven't been provided with any by college IT then use the ones suggested here:

Having issues with loading web pages after using migration assistant

If your still having problems, or anyone else......
For future info, your in the wrong forum, your need the MBP area, this is the MacPRO area, no big deal, I can barely keep up with the M & B & P, etc...
Sounds like when it migrated over your old settings it may have gotten corrupted? It has been known to work if you were to just make another "Location" and just re-enter the information again and sometimes that will help. You might take it back to the store and see if it does it on their connection also. The silly person should have tested it first before letting you go.
Hope you got it fixed...

Issue Loading Specific Web Pages Using the Airport Extreme Base Station

I see that several other members have had this same issue - has anyone resolved their problem? Here is my issue:
It all started when my wife tried to load her favorite Web page at http://hpana.com - the site now takes well over 5 minutes to load. This started some time after updating the recent security update 2007-009 Version 1.0 and shortly thereafter version 1.1. I have tried using the other Mac computers in the house, using the same wireless network and the same problem presents itself. I have tried loading the page using friend’s computers (Mac and PC, from out side my home) and the page loads within seconds. I have tried using Safari, IE and Firefox (at home), the problem remains. I contacted the hpana.com Webmaster and they have made no changes to their web site.
I disconnected our cable modem, and connected the modem directly to the iMac (by passing the Apple Airport) and the page loads within seconds. I’m guessing it has something to do with the Airport Extreme.
So, I contacted Apple Support. The issue was quickly elevated and eventually forwarded to the Airport Extreme Hardware guys – I expect to get an answer by Mid January 2008.
I took a trip to the local Apple store and after explaining the situation, the store manger replaced the AirPort Extreme with the hope this would resolve the issue. After getting the “new” Airport Extreme up and running … the problem remained. This particular web site hpana.com still takes well over 5 minutes to load. I have no such issue with some of the other 60 or so sites I tried.
I by passed the “new” Airport once again by connecting the cable modem directly to the iMac and, as before the web page loads within seconds.
I’ll wait until I get a response from Apple come January, but I was wondering if anyone on the Forum would be willing to share their respective opinions.
Thank You and Happy Holidays.

Hi,
There are some differences between the configuration of Airport equipment sold in different countries, however this is likely to not be the cause of your system's issues. ( See this document for details on that - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58567 )
Hong Kong has a very high density of population, especially compared to Australia.. I suspect your wifi signal is probably getting interference from your neighbours wifi, phones and microwaves. There's not much you can do about this, except getting an external antenna for the AEBS and trying to drown them out with it.

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed a guest OS

I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
A summary of what I have tried:
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
- Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
- Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
- Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
- Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
- Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
- Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

After updating my plugins firefox 5.0.1 still hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

After making sure my plug-ins were updated, firefox 5.0.1 hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

Browsers not loading web pages.

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
This evening I logged on to my mac to find that none of my browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) could load web pages. My MacBook Pro connects to the Internet via wifi. All other devices (wired and wireless) connected to the router work and even when the mac is hard wired it works. I have a bootcamp install of windows that works fine.
I tried loading all 3 browsers on another users account to no avail as well as attempting it in a guest account. I also attempted to load pages whilst booted in safe mode again to no avail. The strange thing is, when I connect to my universities VPN the browsers all work fine.
I have also noticed that applications installed that show in the menu bar (weather, Dropbox etc) do not work unless the mac is hard wired (or connected to the VPN wirelessly).
Can anyone help with this problem please?

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.
