Hot News Headlines Slow to Load

My previous versions of Safari worked fine. Using Snow Leopard and the new Safari 4.0.3 the www.apple.com/startup page starts instantly...however, it takes over 30 seconds for the Hot News Headlines messages to post. In previous versions of Safari the entire webpage was posted instantly, including the latest news messages.
After the apple startup page opens the gray spinning download button continues for over thirty seconds before the Hot News Messages are located and posted. Once the messages are posted the area where the gray spinning download button was operating now reads RSS in a gray box.
If I select the blue colored RSS button in the Hot News Headline menu bar, while waiting for the spinning download delay doing it's thing, I instantly can read the Hot News Headlines.
My question is: If I can instantly read the RSS Hot News Headline by clicking on the blue RSS button (while waiting for Safari download to find it) and read the Hot News, why can't Safari instantly post this information in the startup webpage?
I don't feel this is a Server problem. The RSS information is instantly available, why doesn't it instantly post it n the start up webpage?
Everything else works fine, and fast, with my new Safari.

i had the same problem and it drove me nuts
in fact i reinstalled sl and then used time machine to load my data and applications
but the hot news headlines still took forever to load.
then,
this article fixed things for me:

Apple Hot News Headlines - Top Users can you test this for me?

Some of us have been experiencing an issue where the "Latest News" headlines do not display after selecting "Hot News Headlines" from the Apple.com main site.
The issue has been detailed, with pictures, at the following link.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I thank you very much in advance!

Hi Luke,
All normal for me, both in Safari 3.2.1 in the Mac OS and IE7 in Windows (via Parallels).

Why is iPad so INCREDIBLY slow in loading web pages or e-mails? I have brand new iPad 2.

Just got a new iPad2 last week, installed OK, updated to iOS 5.0, able to access my home's wireless network. However, it is incredibly slow in loading web pages, so that most web sites time out before they will load, like http://finance/yahoo, which I have to use my desktop (Windows XP) or laptop (Windows 7) computers to access, since the iPad will time out almost every time before it can open the site. Same for most other sites, unless real simple like my own web site, which will open OK.
Apple tech support was no help at all. Any suggestions, other than buying a new router?

Have you tried (1) restarting your router, and (2) resetting the wifi on the iPad? To do #2, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings.

Compared to google chrome, when using firefox with fb, it is choppy and so slow to load new tabs and general info. Google is by far superior wish you could make ff the equal as I use both simultaneously

I use google chrome and firefox at the same time, logged on to different accounts in fb, google chrome functions smoothly, opening new windows or tabs or even just loading is quicker, firefox fills like it is working to hard, like pulling teeth, new tabs are slow to open, new windows are slower, just loading fb is slower, the whole experience is extremely choppy. Even when just using firefox alone, it is extremely choppy, not really sure how to explain it. It used to be the equivalent to goggle chrome and my browser of choice.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Since upgrading to ios8, pages very slow to load, and can no longer read items in my reading list when offline. ?????

SI since upgrading to ios8, Safari pages are very slow to load, Kindle crashes upon opening, and I can no longer read saved artices from my reading list when offline. Big disappointment. Is it possible to downgrade to previous ios?

I actually managed to fix it! But unfortunately I don't know what I was that I did that helped.
Anyways, this is kind of what I did.
1. I tried to reset form bakup via iTunes, no change.
2. I tried to reset as a new iPhone, problem still there and reading list also as bookmarks!? (several hundred)
3. Noticed that I could delete a bookmark, once in a while, the other times I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
4. Because I figured that it was a memory problem, I thought it made sense to delete as many as possible, witch I did.
5. Noticed that it was more likely that I coould delete a bookmark if I restarted Safari.
6. Notice that it was even more likely that I could delete a bookmark if I turned the Safari sync with iCould off (with option detete information on iPhone) and then back on again.
7. When I was about half way through deleting the bookmark list I suddenly discovered that all but one of the items in my reading list was 'waiting' and one was downloading. I kind of was 'unstuck' now.
8. I started to delete items in my reading list, but every other time I got the 'Bookmarks are being synced. Please edit the bookmarks once syncing has completed.' message.
9. It took a while to delete all bookmarks and items in the reading list.
Hope you guys could use the info here to fix your problems too!

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

Slow to load BB

Hello, Im new to BT but have BT phone and Broadband unlimited evening and weekends. My BB was switched on on 28th August and I realise it can take up to 10 days to stabilise from reading the info given. However it is very slow to load pages which often time out and its impossible to play games on XBOX live or watch youtube clips as it is still that bad. Will it improve at all?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your having problems with your broadband.
Please see Keith's help guide here: Helping forum members to help you, it will go through some checks that are needed for us to help you.
A summary of the checks are:
1) you should be connected by the BT NTE5 master socket as extension sockets can reduce broadband performance
2) Can you please run a BT speed test (including IP Profile) http://speedtester.bt.com (not beta version)[Best done with a wired, ethernet, connection]
3) is there any noise on your line. dial 17070 option2 from landline. should be silent but slight hum normal on cordless phone.
4) please post adsl line statistics
ADSL Line Statistic Help:
If you have a BT Home Hub like the one below...
Then:
1) Go to http://192.168.1.254 or http://bthomehub.home
2) click Settings
3) Click Advanced Settings
4) Click Broadband
5) Click Connection or sometimes called ADSL (see picture Below)
The direct Address is http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9116 (for bthomehub3)
You will need to copy and past all the adsl line statistics ( Including HEC, CRC and FEC errors). You may need to click " More Details"

I'm no expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong

Acrobat 9 Pro, v9.5.5 Slow to Load

my issue is acrobat 9 pro, v9.9.9 is slow to load (take 45 to over 100 seconds to either load from Start menu of file manager
- Window 7 Home Premium, sp1, 64 bit
- acrobat has been installed for years, this started with 9.5.4 and is the same under 9.5.5
- have not loaded any new software
- event viewer does not show any "errors" happening as I open Acrobat
- when I try to close Acrobat it shows that Acrobat has stopped responding so something is "hanging up" but no indication what that might be
I would appreciate thoughts on what to try or look at next -
Thanks
Jamie

check your running processes and terminate them in an organized way to determine which process is causing the problem.

Safari 5.1.10 slow/not loading on iMac os x 10.6.8

Hello,
Recently my Safari is VERY slow, it is not loading some web pages properly, and not uploading or displaying some pictures.
I havent done anything diferent or uploadae any updates.
I have tried everything to resolve the issue-
-empty cache,
-check for up-dates,
-reinstall safari (twice!)
-Check broadband (I have a new macbook pro, and Safari works fine on this as it is a more recent version)
-remove all extensions
- even checked my HD!
Please help if you have any suggestions,...this is driving me mad, as I can't even access email on gmail!
Thanks in advance!

How do you turn IPv6 off in Safari 5.1.10?
I don't see anyway to do this.
Lately, Safari is not only loading slowly upon initial opening, but it's also slow to load new pages, and it's regularly loosing contact with webpages in previous tabs I opened. I'll go back to a tab, after moving to a new one, only to find it blank, and then I have to reload it, which takes f o r e v e r !
Then I find my entire system get stuck and I can't do anything. Sometimes I can force quit an application and other times not. Many times lately, I find my computer is just frozen and all I can do is reboot it manually to get it working again.

Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

Hi Vokivolli,
Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

Slow index loading on mobile devices

Hi, my organisation is trialing the new RH10 multiscreen html 5 output.
Our techincal documentation includes a very large index (7000+ terms).
The index loads fine on a desktop (Chrome/FF -- under 5 seconds and IE8 -- over 10 seconds), however when we try to load the same index on a mobile device, it takes 2-5 minutes.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a way to fix it?
Suggested fix (if Robo devs are listening):
Create an option that outputs chunked index data in JSON format (currently XML) then parse JSON to the index tree loader for tree generation and search queries.
Thanks.
Here is the bug report I submitted:
Concise problem statement:
Very slow index loading (>3 minutes) on large indexes (7000+ terms). Does not seem to cache index data.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Create an index with over 7000 terms.
2.Generate Mutliscreen HTML5 output.
3.Open Index in mobile browser (Safari/Android)
4.Wait for entire index to finish loading.
5.Refresh index page.
Results:Very slow loading (>3 minutes). Does not seem to cache index data.
Expected results:Loads in under 1 minute

Hi,
Is the mobile device connected via WiFi or 3G? What mobile device are you using and have you tried others?
I suspect the sheer size of the index is the problem. Even if it works fast, nn index with 7000 entries is not very usable on a mobile device.
Greet,
Willam

Can anyone explain why this site is so slow to load?

Strangely, it pops up fine in Safari but is excruciatingly slow to load in Firefox and IE (with graphics and some of the audio player icons not showing for literally multiple minutes, etc.):
http://ddjackson.net/D.D.JacksonDemos.html
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated!
- D.D.

You may be better served by making a new page for each audio file.
The page loads slowly because each of the 8 MP3's must begin their download before the next page element can be downloaded. They don't have to completely download (just start) and the QuickTime browser plug-in will be used to play them.
Each time your page loads completely you're using over 50MB's of your bandwidth limits. This could become expensive if you have bandwidth pricing.
Consider using just a minute of each MP3 in the QuickTime .mov container with a link to the entire file (as you have now) in MP3 format. Saves bandwidth and speeds up the page load time.

New upgrade fails to load web sites on Mac 10.5.8. Old version is just fine. Please fix it. Thanks.

No answer to this question on 9/5. Older Firefox version works great. New one fails to load websites and is slow when it does. Often requires loading browser twice. Site load only partially. Have Mac lap top 10.5.8. Is Firefox working on this problem?

5.0.5 so slow to load

I have a new MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 and all of my browsers run well and load quickly EXCEPT Safari which is painfully slow to load EVERY single time. I have cleared cache and more...
anyone else having this problem?
It is as if SAFARI runs in MOLASSES MODE!
