Frequent time outs loading pages

OK, I'm running OS 10.7.4. After downloading the latest version of FireFox (12.0), I started experience extremely frequent timeouts in loading pages.
So, I launched Safari. Same thing happened. Reloading the pages doesn't seem to work in either browser.
Checked with the ISP. Download and upload speeds were within acceptabe ranges.
The only common denominator seems to be the OS.
The other major thing is that streaming video will start, but after about half a minute, it hangs and will not reload. I also have the latest Flash Player.
Also running Sophos Free Antivirus, recently downloaded.
It's also pretty slow launching Finder.
All around I get lots of beach balls.
I know it's enticing to blame something other than Lion, but Lion seems to be the only common denominator.

Frequent time-outs loading web-pages

Takes a very long time to load pages and is laggy

The new''' FF (4) '''was good at first, but recently it is starting to lack the goodness it once had.
'''It is becoming slower and slower by the day and takes a very long time to load pages. Sometimes the "loading" icon circles for 5 minutes, and whether the page loads or not depends on my luck at that time.'''
Also, it has become seriously '''laggy''':
'''Scrolling''' up and down, typing and '''filling out forms''' (like writing this message) etc have slowed down.
I have deleted the history, and cleared the cache, but to no avail.
Could it be some of the add-ons?
Or is it that FF4 was all hyped up and '''''can't stand to it's name'''''? :)
Please help.
Info: Vista 64-bit, 4GB ram, 2.33GHZ....can't be my computer!

You could try to disable this feature for now by toggling this pref on the about:config page:

Safari takes a really long time to load pages...

Hi everyone; hope all is well.
I have a rather annoying issue with Safari and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I noticed a couple of days ago that Safari often takes a very long time to load pages. I have to continually stop downloading the page and then reload it for it to go the next one. When I do this it often loads the page right away. I'm not sure what this might be all about - Safari usually loads pages very quickly. I've tried emptying caches and resetting Safari, etc. but the problem persists. Can anyone help me out?

Try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

Konqueror 4.3.2 frequently times out vs. Firefox never does

Hi,
I'm on a fully (daily) Arch 32b/KDE 4.3.2 PC.
I've noted that Konqueror frequently times out (error message "Socket operation timed out") whereas Firefox NEVER does that (same sites). I've topped up the socket read (System Settings, Connection Preference) to 20 Sec (was 15 originally) but this didn't help.
Besides I notice that Firefox is much faster rendering various sites.
Please Advise!
Thanks

The Chrome bookmark issue is internal with Google since the Android team and Chrome team are seprate and is being addressed. There is a great app that I'm using called Chromemarks which comes in free and pay versions that sync your Chrome bookmarks and allow you to access (and for the pay version edit) them. Highly recommend this app since it looks like this issue is months old.
I know I returned my Ideapad for another, but I'm trying to stick around and help with small issues best I can and share any info I've gotten. Desipite this set back I'm still a Lenovo fanboy and hope to one day own a fully functioning Lenovo tablet (with all the bugs worked out). Highly recommend you guys also turn to some of the larger Android communities for help, some issues aren't Lenovo issues, but issues with the actual OS shared by all Androids (though nothing as major as the current Ideapad K1 issues). This inclues small app crashes, the bookmark syncing and being able to access all of your internal storage on your PC. Most of the communities are still mostly focused on phones, but because of the popularity of the tablets are beginning to shift gears.

Frequently getting Problem loading page -saying becuase cookies may be disabled

Acer Aspire 7551-7422 Windows 7 Home Premium, FireFox 6.0
I frequently get problem loading page messages which state that it is sometimes caused by disabling or refusing cookies. I have all cookies allowed in FireFox options, I frequently clear cookies also. What else might the problem be? FireFox is allowed through my fire wall.

You only need to allow cookies if you let them expire if Firefox closes and you want to keep some for the next session. 
If you keep cookies until they expire then you shouldn't need to set an allow exception.
Try to clear the cookies from sites that cause problems.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

HT204266 My App Store keeps struggling to load up. Requests frequently time out and searches just don't do anything. If it does load up a search, the iPad closes down App Store, returns to home screen and, upon re-opening, the search has been deleted. Hel

I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

Safari hangs and times out on pages with CGI scripts

I don't know if this is a Safari problem or a system wide problem. I running OS 10.4.9 with Safari 2.0.4. When I try to load a page that begins with "http://cgi." it begins to load but hangs and eventually times out. Has anyone else run into this problem? I did a search of the forum but came back with no results.

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).

HT2711 I used the "repair disk utility" to see why my computer is running slow but it gives me an error message saying, "disk utility can't repair this disk, and restore your backed up files. My computer was running slow and taking some time to load page

I haven't used my computer in a month, so when I turned it on, I saw it was running slow. The circle that is used to load the page kept coming up and it took sometime for things to load up. I tried to go Into safe mode, and it worked, but I know your limited on what you can do in that world. I also tried to repair the disk but it kept giving me an error message. How can I resolve this problem?

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

Safari slow loading, iTunes and System Update time out

The other day I found that Safari started taking a very long time to load pages. Yet, Firefox loads pages normally. Then, I found out that my iTunes podcasts were not being updated. The error states that the network connection timed out. Trying a Software Update, i sometimes get that there is a network problem. During all of these problems, Mail and Firefox continue to work fine.

It appears that iTunes and Safari are working at my work place. At home and work, I use the same airport settings but have different vintages of airports. So, it is either a problem with my ISP at home (cox.net) or airport. However, another laptop computer didn't have these probelm. So, I am still confused as to the source of the problem.

Apple Mail fetch repeatedly times out

This is not a specific Lion problem but has continued under Lion, it's related to Apple Mail. On each of our 4 Macs our mail fetch from our ISP frequently times out on all POP email accounts, repeatedly asking for a password even though the password is clearly stored in Mail preferences and Keychain. Sometimes I find that the POP email passwords are deleted from Mail, although they are always there in the Keychain. It only happens with POP, not IMAP etc. Needless to say our ISP has been vague and unhelpful. Any suggestions?

Even if it happens from outside their network, your mail still uses the same settings for servers and ports as to what you put into the settings. So, it's still routed through them regardless of the network your on. That why I suggested it may be the cause. Like I said, the same problem went on with ATT for many months.
There were many thoughts also on how mac mail was talking to the ISP, but in my case wasn't the problem. If you open up connection doctor in mail and test the connections from time to time, it failed in many cases. Sometimes, it failed constantly.
And since you've said it happens outside your network, that should eliminate your router.
So, you may want to talk with your ISP support group and ask them if they are making any changes to ports or servers. And if you haven't, check their website and search for mail server and port settings for mac to make sure you have the latest.
And I do understand that it's probably a wasted effort because most of the time they won't know what's going on.
I feel your pain.
