  • Videos won't stream (eg youtube) and safari very slow

    Hi, I have 2 problems and would really appreciate any help
    1 - safari very slow to open pages and has been like this for weeks. I have seen a solution to change to 'opendns' under System preferences > network > advanced tab but I cannot see an option for that. I think this may be my problem as Google always opens quickly. Can anyone elaborate on this solution?
    2 - Videos won't stream and just hang with circle (e.g on sites like youtube) which started about 1 week ago. Only thing I have done differently is watching megavideos on unknown site. I have tried the solutions given under other threads (e.g. deleting cache files and uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash). This seemed to help slightly the first time I tried it but still took approx 60s to stream 1 minute video. Has now reverted back to not streaming.

    To set up a test account, open System Preferences > Accounts, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, then click on the "+" sign, name the account "test" and leave the password field blank, since you don't need the account that long; you can delete it later.
    Quit System Preferences, log out of the regular user account and into the test account, then try using Safari to load pages and videos to see if the problem continues there.
    Other things you can try in your regular user account that may help your problem or solve it are this:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
    4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

  • Very slow running Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I'd like to thank all people supporting us (users) in these discussions, and especially the person who helped me restoring my MBP's performance,
    I'm requesting once again some help for my Mac Mini which is very very slow.
    Mac Mini running OS X Moutain Lion + Apple's Server add-on (a few services are running : file sharing mainly).
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello Hedi, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Safari very slow to load pages

    Someone who help me with my Safari. Always that I want to go to a new page my Safari is very slow to load that page. It's loading the page for a long time without opening. I have done everything to fix it, but nothing has worked.
    I have a Macbook Pro late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and my Safari is 8.0.3 version.
    Here is a capture of what happens

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Safari VERY slow on MacBook.

    My macbook has somewhat a lot memory left, but it seem that Safari has gotten slower. When i click on links, or try to use another tab for a link, it runs VERY slow for me, and sometimes wont even load. Is there anything i can do to speed up my browser?

    If Safari is slow in another User account, you more than likely have a system-wide issue. I would suggest an Archive and Install.

  • Data transfer very slow on mac pro!! mac H/W unable to fit specifications.

    Hi,
    I am installinginternal disks on the quad mac pro and the transfer ratet in the mac are very slow!!!
    the disks are: barracuda 7200.10 disks, 500 GB. Sta II 300, max ST3500630AS firmware 3.AAE . throughput:300mb.jumpred off to get the 300.
    MAC tells that the QUAD MAC Pro equipment (2x2.66ghz dualcore intel xeon) comes with a 3.Gigabit specification/ 300MB/sec. (Intel ESB2 AHCI, speed: 3.0 Gigabit. AHCI version 1.10 supported)...
    And the benchmarks of the disk ST3500630AS show maximum 80MB/sec and a minimin of 37.3MB/sec, average 63.1 MB/sec. (anandtech tests).
    According to seagate.com the maximum sustained data transfer rate:78MB/s
    but in the mac the reallity is different: I am getting a transfer rate of 22MB/sec!!!!! . with out any application running and only making copy of the files!!!!
    that means that the mac is only providing only 1/3 of the expected transfer rate for the disks..
    so, is there a way that the MAC Pro gets all the normal transfer rate for those disks???
    Is the Quad MAC Pro hardware unable to get the maximum throughput of the disks???
    It seems that the mac is unable to get also the average transfer rate of those disks.. how to correct it???
    thanks a lot
    Alberto
    ps. just for fun: I am getting a faster transfer rate from an old power pc ,and old pc, and firewire 400 and old ide disks!!! (36MB/seg!!!)

    Yup.
    BThe latest Mac Pro are better, so if you have a new or 2 month old unit, Seagate should work, though I think there should be later firmware.
    Some would say those drives take the cake or woRSe.
    http://www.barefeats.com/hard91.html
    SEAGATE PUZZLES
    +Firmware version 3.AEE or later solves the slow sustained large block write speed issue for a single 7200.10 inside the Mac Pro.+
    +The remaining performance issue is slow small random read speeds for one, two, three or four drives. No matter how many drives you configure in RAID 0 sets, the average random read speed for combined block sizes from 64K to 1024K is less than 30MB/s (based on QuickBench 3 testing).+
    +Until Seagate fixes this, we can't recommend the 7200.10 series as the ideal boot drive for the Mac Pro (or Power Mac).+

  • OS 8.1 safari very slow offer upgrade.

    After upgrading my iPad Air, Safari seems very slow. While surfing the web, pages are slow loading. Pages with pictures keep trying to play catchup as I'm going down the page. I downloaded another browser and I don't have the same problem with that one. I've turned the iPad off and on, cleared the history, etc. to no avail. Anybody have any advice.

    Hi gloworm,
    If you are having an issue with the Safari web browser on your iPad performing slowly and you have already tried resetting the iPad, I would suggest the next step would be backing up any data you have on the iPad and then setting it up as a new device. See this article -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • ACR 7.1 - very slow on Mac mini

    Hi
    I'm running the trial version of CS6 on a new Mac mini.
    I like the features in ACR 7.1 but I'm finding it very slow.
    Dragging the Temperature slider takes about 5 seconds before the image updates. Is this normal?
    This is with just one Nikon D700 Nef open in ACR, and no other apps running. I've already worked the file up, making adjustments to lens correction, sharpening, noise reduction, and using a couple of adjustment brushes.
    If I progressively switch these settings off, the Temperature slider gradually goes back to being reasonably responsive. But I'd like to be able to fine tune the colour after doing these other adjustments.
    Any way I can speed it up?
    Thanks!
    Mac mini 2.7 i7, AMD 6630, 16Gb RAM, 7200rpm 750Gb HD.
    Eizo CG275W
    Photoshop CS6
    ACR 7.1.0.354
    Mountain Lion 10.8.1

    My dedicated CS6/ACR 7.x system is substantially more underpowered than your Mac Mini, yet I see no such lag in ACR.  Dragging the Temperature adjustment slider is practically real-time, with the preview refreshing in a fraction of a second that I can barely see and have no way of measuring.
    I'm now running ACR 7.2RC1, but I don't remember seeing a lag in ACR 7.1 either.
    My main working machine is a Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad with 16 GB of RAM, on which 11.0.2 is the last version of Photoshop to run, so I have the Mac-Intel system described below just to run ACR 7.x under Photoshop 13.0.1.  I convert my raw files in ACR7.x open them in Ps 13.0.x and save them via Ethernet to an external HD connected to the G5 Quad for further processing in CS4. The Mac-Intel is used for no other purpose and the only other application I occasionally run on said Mac-Intel is TextEdit.
    2007, 2GHz MacBook 2,1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM (can use 3 GB), 160 GB internal boot disk, dedicated FireWire400 external HD for Ps scratch disk, external Time Machine HD.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8. 
    I literally rescued this MacBook from the trash, where it had landed when my wife was told by local Apple Macgenius staff that it was beyond repair, when in reality all that was wrong with it was a bulging battery exerting upward pressure on the track pad and keyboard.  That was easy to replace for $20 or so through Amazon.com. 
    So, from where I sit,  either you have a machine-specific problem somewhere, or the culprit in your issue is Mountain Poop.

  • Safari very slow downloading files

    When I bought my MacBook Pro in 2009 I used Safari for few days then I switched to Firefox, and the reason for that is that downloading any kind of files goes very slow to around 5 KB/s while downloading the same file in any other browser is so fast. Now after the release of Safari 4 I thought this problem could be solved but here again the exact same problem and I really love the new safari except that this problem is really annoying me. By the way browsing is working perfectly fine.
    I have a 2 Mpbs ADSL connection.
    any idea?

    Preference files retain information about the default and custom settings for a particular application. Also, they store information accumulated over time not directly related to a preference setting.
    In Safari's case, this retained and accumulated information comes from a variety of sources within and outside of Safari. For example, 3rd party add-ons, such as Glims, store information in the preference file pertinent to their operation and settings.
    Sometimes, corruption occurs if this information is incorrectly coded in the software. In that instance, as Safari accesses the preference file, it will crash due to a flaw in the data stream. Another example - updating Safari from one version to the next might trigger corruption if the 3rd party content within the preference file is not compatible with the new version's operation.

  • PP CS4 very slow on MAC

    I have noticed that when running a 1 hr sequence (wedding), my ability to use the CTRL D short cut for the default transition is VERY slow.  I get the spinning wheel of death and then the transition appears.  The time line runs fine but anything I do appears as if it is stressing the system out and it cannot perform.  I have 16 gigs of memory on a MAC Pro.  Any thoughts?

    You will have to forgive me, as my Mac-speak is horribly limited, but:
    1.) what is your I/O sub-system set up, i.e. HDD's size, speed controller and how allocated? This is often the most important link in NLE work.
    2.) what is you CPU speed? This is also important in NLE work. RAM is great, but not the end-all in performance.
    In general, I've seen very few posts about CS4 being slow on a Mac. I'd offer a wild guess that it's your System's setup, or too many other programs running that saps the resources that any NLE will need.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Xcode 4.0.2 is very slow on Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I have installed xcode 4.0.2 on my Mac Mini, but it is keeping the system very slow.

    I have a Mac Mini 2010 with RAM 4 Gb and the Xcode works very good.
    I precisely bought it with 4 Gb thinking in it.
    Without more information (RAM, model, year), I can not say you more. ¿cleaning?

  • Safari VERY slow -- any ideas?

    Help! Safari has basically ground to a halt loading web pages on my G4 running Tiger 10.4.3, and/or I get weird error messages. I've tried lots of things suggested on boards -- fixing disc permissions, Unix repair function fsck, running MacJanitor and Onyx, dumping preference files, emptying caches and the icons folder, removing duplicate fonts, etc. -- but the problem persists. Any new ideas? It's driving me crazy! Many thanks.

    Hi:
    Since writing my first post, I came across this page, which discusses the memory-hog aspects of Safari and slowness when multiple windows/tabs are open. This also led me to Privoxy which kills two birds with one stone. Privoxy enables a local proxy server that blocks a fair proportion of banner ads, especially those with Java animation. After installing the package, network settings must be altered to use a manual proxy server for http and https protocols: the server address is 127.0.0.1 on port 8118. So far it has worked well for me, improving speed when I have a lot of tabs open and blocking annoying ads as well.
