Extreme lag when typing in Safari

I get a huge lag when typing an address or search term in safari. It started about a month ago and hasn't gotten any better. It's pretty much driving me nuts.
Any ideas out there?
Ray

See if any of the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • IE 9, 10, 11 - Slow/Lag when typing

    *UPDATE*
    So just installing the latest display driver (AMD HD-3xxx) from Dell's website did NOT fix the issue. For whatever reason (still researching) The ATI Catalyst software needs to be installed also. So for testing, I imaged an Optiplex 780 (on board
    video) and I had no Issues with IE. I then installed the same image on an Optiplex 9020 with a Video Card. I made sure I had the latest driver in MDT as well. Once it was imaged and I tested IE I had the same issues. Installed the Catalyst software and teh
    issues ran away. I then uninstalled the video card from the computer, reimaged the Optiplex 9020 using the on board drivers and had no issues with IE.
    Link to AMD and BINGO: http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2010/03/16/ie9-takes-advantage-of-the-gpu/
    A few users have brought this to my attention, I had not tested to much since IE is not my default browser, shame on me. I am imaging Dell Optiplex 760's and 9020's with a custom image and having it patch after installing applications. IE
    11 is being loaded on when this happens. For whatever reason IE will lag when typing in certain page fields. It does it when searching in Google or if I go to my companies OWA page. For testing I went ahead and built a machine from scratch (using Windows 7
    USB) ran all of the latest patches, installed all of the same software and what do you know IE works without any issues. So on the computer that was having issues, I tried safe mode and no issues when using IE. Here is the kicker, If I roll back IE all the
    way to IE 8 it works perfectly, once I started going to 10 and then 11 is when I noticed the issues.
    I have been racking my brain for the past week on this issue. I have rebuilt the task sequences for both machines even when using the install files from a disk to image a machine, as soon as I run Windows Updates IE breaks. Any thoughts? Oh and I have tried
    EVERYTHING in regards to IE, no add ons, reset settings, inPrivate, everything

    Hey Keith,
    You may have hit it right on the nose. Turns out the CAB file I had was outdated and I had to grab the latest video driver from Dells website. The Optiplex 760's we run have a video card and what I believe is happening is when imaging the machines out the
    Catalyst software is not being installed which is causing the errors (I think). As soon as I updated the display driver and installed the supporting software with it the issues went away. I updated MDT with the latest video driver and am going to image a machine
    to see if that is all it needed. If it does need the Catalyst software installed I'll be adding that to my base image so I don't run into this again. 

  • Another thrillilng lag when typing

    it's so exciting to have a snag like lagging when typing. I have a Toshiba L675 and suddenly (and without warning) my keyboard is not at times keeping up with my slow typing. One can type a whole word before it shows up on i.e. Outlook 2013 or Google in IE10.
    I am using Windows 8 and nothing installed new. This problem just decided ot create itself to give me grief. Anyone out there have an idea as to what can or is causing this. No viruses / malware. Typing here produces no problem whatsoever, but in IE10 and Outlook 2013 is where my pain lies.
    Help will be appreciated. Thanks!
    (In the highly unlikely event you do not see this posting, please let me know immediately)

    Thanks for the replies. I've done the Reset thing - presently I have disabled all the Addon's. Also, in the Registry, I have in the H-Key_Current_User / Control Panel / Desktop -MenuShowDelay tried from the default number 400 and switched it 100, then 200, then 500, now currently 150, all of which are really making no change.
    I have done the Malware and virus check(s) - done the CCleaner, shut off the smooth scrolling in Outlook 2013, but nothing changes this.
    As to the cpu usuage, it really does not change. I've had the Taskmanager set so it doesn't disappear when I type, and when a word doesn't come up, nothing changes there.
    This thing is sporatic. I can go 30 - 40 seconds typing and no problem then suddenly a word, or three or for letters are typed before it shows up on the screen. Then everything will roll along well and then the problem begins again.
    This problem is something new that's popped up its head within the last four or so days.
    I'm using a Toshiba L675-00X-00X. I've had Windows 8 / IE10 on this unit since October / 12 and not a flaw ... well, until now. But I've seen this on other laptops and somehow got rid of it but just can't remember how.
    Your help / suggestions will be welcomed I'm sure.

  • How to hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

    how do I hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

    Not completely.
    In Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Check both Do not preload top hits in the background & Prevent earch engine from providing suggestions.
    This will eliminate top hits and search engine suggestions.
    I am not sure about the rest.
    As far as History, I guess you could clear it and use Private Browsing.
    Bookmarks, I don't think there is anything you can do about that besides removing them.

  • Serious screen lag when typing in fields with Safari, Chrome, etc.

    With my MacBook Pro 15" i7 I'm experiencing a serious lag time when typing comments in posts online... like right now.. I'll type a few words and nothing shows up on the screen until I stop typing. Then the rest of the words leisurely fill in after I stop.
    This happens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. On my iMac 27" i7 and MacPro, using the same Airport wi-fi in my house, I do not experience this.
    When I type in Mail, TextEdit, etc., as I type the letters show up as fast as I can type.
    I've got 8GB of RAM, 4GB of free RAM, a MacBook Pro15" i7, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD with plenty of space on it, recently fixed permissions, checked disk with Disk Utility AND DiskWarrior, re-booted, cleared caches, checked for current firmware... what now?
    This doesn't happen on my other Macs, so I know something is up with this machine. (I typed that entire last sentence in before anything showed up on the screen - then when I stopped, after a few seconds, the words filled in.)
    Driving me bonkers! Can anyone offer a solution?

    Im am having the same problems never happen before -15inch macbook pro i7 4 gb ram 500 gb 7200 rpm hd... curious that we both have the 7200 rpm!!?? ....On 2nd laptop same problem and after days with apple online and store -still no answer ....  Here is a link for another thread i'm on with further lag issues im having...

  • MBP lags when typing in pages

    Hi,
    I have a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro and when I am typing in pages it is constantly lagging by a couple of seconds, It also lags when I am zooming in or out and doing thing like moving images and text boxes. It is really frustrating and any help is much appreciated..

    Saw you got no response. You could try some basic repairs.
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

    Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

  • Significant lag when typing Hebrew in Mail

  • The "Presto" message when typing in Safari -malicious software?

    Hello, I have attempted to find an answer to this online but have failed. Perhaps a member of this forum can help? I noticed that when typing a word commencing with "Presto" the following message is autocompleted
    "Presto is a flash—the very essence of spontaneity, the profound magic of the “instant” when something shifts. Presto says “magic is in the air. Do not try to figure it out; you cannot. It is the power of the unknown at work, and something special is about to happen.” The word itself begs to be spoken quickly, as if without thinking. […] Something great had revealed itself in that tiny instant. […] No wonder presto is such a popular magic word. It's the magic wand blooming into a bouquet. It's the miracle of levitation. It's every special effect that's especially affective. It's smoke and mirrors in a nutshell.
    — Craig Conley, Magic Words: A Dictionary"
    In this case I was searching for a person called Preston in a contact database we use.
    Any ideas? Is this a relatively benevolent virus?

    Thank you. No other "Magic Words" identified. I had indeed checked Autofill, but this appeared to relate only to specific websites. In my case, the word triggered this effect universally.
    Thanks to all for any further ideas/suggestions.

  • Mail lag when typing

    I'm having an annoying little problem with Mail- when I type, the letters are consistently lagging behind my typing. I am by no means a fast typer, but this lag time is driving me batty. What do I need to do to eliminate this problem?

    Terry,
    I find this happens on my old G4 when free RAM has been reduced to a minimum. This is normally cured, for me, by either quitting Safari or by a Restart, with the latter returning the most free memory.

  • Safari quits when typing url, safari quits when typing url

    When I start typing a url in Safari on the iPad 1, Safari freezes, then quits. I can only reach a url if I type it in Google search, then click the link.

    I have this same exact issue.  Ipad is up to date with latest software update.  Question: do you have a LOT of bookmarks on the iPad Safari?  I'm wondering if this has something to do with Safari searching bookmarks for a match when you enter a URL.  I've used other browser programs and there's no problem so I don't believe this is an iPad system issue.  I believe it's a Safari issue.

  • Dots are missing when typing in safari

    Hello
    My boss brought a brand new desktop. When he is typing a web address in safari ( for example www.hotmail.com) he is able to type full url with dot but after pressing enter it's coming like wwwhotmailcom
    And it's throwing error. Any help would appreciate.
    Regards
    Akther

    This problem is has to do with "security" (AKA file permissions) for some of the VAB files. I am not aware of what may have caused the problem. As the USER check to see what problem files exist. Then as the ADMINISTRATOR check the "Security" tab in the file's properties and you'll find that the USER is unable to modify/read/see/etc that file. Changing the setting to match one of the "OK" DLL block files should correct the problem. Alternatively you can run the command line script that the installer runs: cacls "C:\Program FIles\Hyperception\VABINF" /T /E /G Everyone:F Assuming you installed in the default directory, you should be able to drop to a command prompt and issue this command. It will scroll the name of every file in the given directory and all subdirectories. It should reset every file.
