When purchased, my imac would load pages very quickly. Now, the pages seem to take much longer to load and when watching video or streaming, it often stops to catch up or rebuffer. What do I do to speed things up?

When I purchased my iMac last month the pages would load quickly when using the internet browser. Now it takes much longer to load the pages and when I watch a video it pauses to catch up or is rebuffering the streaming. What can I do to speed up my browser?

How do I stop firefox from redirecting every page I click on in Google search? No matter what I search for in Google when I click on it Firefox redirects me to some other search, sales, or contest page.

How do I stop firefox from redirecting every page I click on in Google search?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Sounds like a dose of search redirect malware or a redirect virus.

When i first open firefox homepage (opens with google) after 3 seconds page freezes and cannoct be closed. i have to open seconed homepage to shot pc down. this has only happened since i installed firfox 4. what do i do to fix this

when i first open firefox homepage (opens with google as set by firefox) after about 3 seconds the page freezes and cannot be closed or minimised. i have to open second homepage to shut pc down or continue to use pc. this has only happened since i installed firefox 4. what do i do to fix this

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Upgraded to OSX 10.9.1 and now Pages (iWork '08) takes much longer to launch.

Initial launch of Pages takes significantly longer to load after upgrading OSX. I have used 'software update', but nothing out there to download. Any ideas? The other components of my iWork '08 bundle work as expected, it is only Pages that seems to have performance issues under OSX 10.9.1.

If I remember, I believe I thought I had to upgrade to Mavericks for a feature related to sharing or FaceTime or something. I have an iMac, 2 MacBook Pro laptops (kids), an iPad (wife's) and Apple TV. So on Mavericks, everyone in the house is happy now; I just don't like that it takes 'forever' to launch Pages. Perhaps I will upgrade to iWork '09 to see if that takes care of the issue.

I just bought an iMac. It was to come with pages, numbers, and the presentation software (like power point). I can't find these programs.

Have you checked your Purchase and Updates at the app store? You will usually need to accept them and then download/install. If that does not work, you can follow these instructions:

When using firefox, my computers freezes up from time to time, every program freezes and then my computer just restarts, the strange thing then is that it can't find my harddrive, which i fix by pressing the power supply button.

This problem only happens on my Desktop, my Laptop doesn't have any problems with it, both use the same app-tabs and plugins, maybe 1 or 2 that are different.
It happens just randomly when browsing, or when playing a game, or even when idle left at night, i come back and i see that it crashed.
App-tabs: Twitter, Hyves, Facebook, GooglePlus, Gmail, Google Documents, Google Calendar.

Both have all Microsoft updates installed.
It even happened when i was typing this, luckily Firefox has a restore function so i don't have to retype this again!.. It's really annoying, re-installing my desktop didn't help either, I'm generally quite good with computers, but this problem isn't fixable by me, or at least not with what i know.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Everytime i run Wow, my MBP freezes and i have to RESET

Everytime I run WoW, my macbook pro freezes and i have to reset it by holding down the power button. It's a 15 inch i5 . I have not yet done a PRAM reset. Can anyone help ? Its beeen doing this ever since i updated WoW a couple months or weeks ago.
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2

My computer normally runs fine, but whenever i start WoW, it loads up for a couple seconds then my screen turns completely black and i cannot do anything , the sound repeats istelf over and over for a second, and you cannot do anything but turn it off it . When you turn it back on it says its a kernal panic. i have been reading the forums for a couple hours and alot of people are having the same issues, and i have read many different replys so im not sure which to do but take it to apple.

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..

Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

I loaded what I guess is the new version of Firefox and it completely changed my whole task bar. I don't have my Norton Logins with stored passwords, and it's hard to find my favorites. Help get it back to how it was.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

Page takes too long to load because of videos

Hi. I have a website that I made, but the page takes too long to load because there are videos on it. Is there any way to stop the videos from auto-loading and instead only load when someone clicks on them to play?

There are several ways to have videos on a page without having them load until they are selected to play. A couple are:
1 - Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This test site has 9 videos on the page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
2 - QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player. This method is more difficult to implement.

Coldfusion Page takes too long, to Load.

Hi All,
I have just moved into Coldfusion technology. My expertise is
predominantly on Oracle and PL/SQL development.
In the application i am working on, we are currently facing,
an issue. We have a requirement, that is handled by dynamic
dropdowns. We use Javascript to control the values loaded in a
dropdown. (By default, the Country, State, City, Facility and
Facility Type for a user will be loaded. He can choose any of the
values in the dropdown and that would control the other dropdown's.
If a Country is chosen, the states corresponding to that country
should be loaded in the next drop down .. and so on ... )
We have drop downs like, Country, State, City, Facility and
Facility Types. The backend, sends across, all the values as the
combinations of Country,State,City, Facility and FacilityTypes that
have been rolled out , to enable selection as a refcursor. The page
load was surprisngly taking about 91 seconds!! We did check the
record volumes and they are not more than 1500 rows. Also, the
database queries, execute in 130 microseconds each. Thus, the code
is indeed optimized from the database perspective.
The Issue i am facing is the performance hit when the page
loads. For just 1500 rows of the combinations i have mentioned, it
takes 94 seconds. It takes only 24 seconds in my offshore. However,
i have verfied machine configurations and i seem to have a better
configuration that my offshore team. Yet, it takes more time to
load here. Also, does the CF application server parse all the
functions OnLoad, Onchange even before the Page is loaded? Anyone
who has already encountered this issue?
Cheers,
J

What version of CF (guessing 6.1 according to your username)?
What database?
What database driver?
Is the database indexed correctly?
Is the database local?
Are you caching your queries, since a list of states is
unlikely to change?
What hardware on the server?
Are your heap sizes optimized in the CF Administrator?

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"
