Images slow to load

Hi there,
Images on my macbook pro take ages to load you know like on EBay when you are waiting for the pictures.
Also Google maps never work especially when you want to zoom in more detail.
Is this my ISP or can I change any settings on my Macbook Pro to see if that does the trick?
Thanks
Chris

HI Chris and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Also, web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. *These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down.* It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Navigate to the eBay site. If it still takes too long to load images, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari.

Preview images slow to load in Finder

I've just upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.4.6 and I'm having a bothersome issue with the preview images in Finder loading very slowly. This is most noticable with large high res Photoshop files. Why is this happening and is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I'm having similar issues, but with almost all previews. It's made using the finder almost impossible lately. It seems to work just snappy if I change the view to icon or list before I click on an files, but I really got used to working in the column view. I'm searching the forums now for more info.

Preview Images Slow to Load

Hi! I finally got all 70,000 images into aperture and all was well until I decided to move some images from one project to another. Now I get some preview images and lots of grey boxes. If I select an image represented by a grey box, it will load, so the images are okay. It's just ugly that the previews won't load.
Any ideas?

Guys, you are expecting too much. What you are describing is largely related to your hard drive setup. If you want to handle large batches of images faster you need to address hard drive read/write with things like fast hard drives, RAID 0 and FW 800.
I took delivery on a RAID 0 FW800 drive <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME8R7640GB16/> today and after I have used it a while I will report back.

Facebook slow to load images

I am currently running iOS 8.1.3 on VZW iphone 6. When in Facebook app the images are slow to load if they even do. I have rest network settings, forgot the network and reconnected. I have uninstalled the facebook app as well. all other internet usage is fine on the phone. Wifi router is Netgear WNR1000v2 set to WPA2-PSK(AES), auto channel.
Any ideas?

Hi nevr4get911,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like the Facebook app is not loading images reliably, and you've tried many good steps to troubleshoot the app and your network connection.
Since you have isolated this behavior to the Facebook app, you may want to contact the developer for more help:
If you see this issue again, contact the app developer for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app, then tap Reviews.
Tap App Support under App Store Ratings.
From:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Mail Slow to Load Images

I've gotten MOST issues addressed/fixed since Mavericks came out, but one I've noticed that is a bit annoying. Images in emails are slow to load. Not just with Gmail account, other accounts as well. Any others getting this? I'm on a MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013.

I'll try to submit this as a bug report when I get a chance. The desired behavior would be to show as much of the message as possible without blocking the application...the way a web browser normally does when rendering a web page as elements come in.
One other quirk: in the case of the email tracking example I gave, it does not help to disable "display remote images in HTML messages" under Mail...Preferences...Viewing.
Actually, when disabling this feature, it seems like Mail downloads the images, but simply does not display them. It takes a while to display some emails without displaying the remote images when the feature is disabled, then I hit "load images" and the images instantaneously appear. They must have already been downloaded. If true, then this is undesirable behavior indeed, e.g., when trying to minimize bandwidth during travel or when trying not to be tracked by email senders!

It is too slow to load an image on JPanel

i overwrite the JPanel's method paintComponent(Graphics g) to load a gif image(1024*786) from local harddisk,but it will cost at least 5 secs to display the image.is there any other way to do this ?
my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ImgPane extends JPanel {
private String strImageName ="";
public ImgPane(String imagename) {
strImageName = imagename;
public ImgPane() {
strImageName ="xyz.gif";
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imagepanel.ImgPane.class.getResource(strImageName));
g.drawImage(smallImage,0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight(),this);

Hi,
I use a class like this to display an image centered in a JLabel
public class PictureLabel extends JLabel {
boolean hasImage = false;
int pic_w = 0;
int pic_h   = 0;
Image img;
public PictureLabel(String filename) {
super(filename,JLabel.CENTER);
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename);
MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(this);
mt.addImage(img,0);
hasImage = true;
try { mt.waitForID(0); }
catch (InterruptedException ie)     { hasImage = false;     }
if (hasImage)
pic_h = img.getHeight(this);
pic_w = img.getWidth(this);
}   // end of constructor
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
if (hasImage) return new Dimension(pic_w,pic_h);
else return super.getPreferredSize();
} // end of getPreferredSize
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if (hasImage)
Dimension d = getSize();
int xo = (d.width-pic_w)/2;
int yo = (d.height-pic_h)/2;
g.drawImage(img,xo,yo,this);
} else super.paint(g);
} // end of paint
} // end of classTry it, it works fine for me - if the actual dimensions of the PictureLabel will get smaller than the image, you will see the center of this image in the PictureLabel, because the origin of the picture is repositioned this way in the paint-method - also, if the dimensions of the PictureLabel is greater than the image, the image will be in the center of the PictureLabel - so that you will see the background color of the underlying JLabel at the edges in this case. In the case the image cannot be loaded, you will see the filename centered in this label.

Safari is extremely slow to load pages & saving my bookmarks to my folders

why is safari so extremely slow in loading pages? it can just about load my e-mail, if I wait about 5 minutes & I cannot check my t mobile cell phone balance because it gets stuck loading the page.
Also I cannot get it to save bookmarks into my designated named bookmark folders anymore, it only will save to the bookmarks bar

I have also heard about the cover flow feature, but I do not see it in my safari, where is it?
Look at this picture and you'll find it. Just click on the marked area/button.

LR 4 Library: Images not fully loading (unsharp)

I'm editing some images ready to send to a client and I find that some them do not become fully sharp, when viewed in the library module, in loup view. Of the 14 images showing in one folder (selected with "pick") only the first 2 are sharp when viewed, the other 12 are not becoming sharp and clear.
They are actually quite sharped and sharpened - it's not an issue with the image itself.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Stephen

Hi Rikk
Yes they go back as sharp once viewed at 100% But it's also very slow to "load" the images at 100% LR seems to hae slowed down on me lately and was running quite fast previously. It also "hangs" on opening, sometimes longer than other times.
Thanks for the reply.

Images fail to load into the browser

Hello,
Sometimes images fail to load into the browser (they show up as a red "X"). Does anyone know why? Refreshing often loads them correctly, but then a different image will not load (and show a red "X").
Thanks very much,
Andy

Hi Vikas,
Thank you very much for your help on this. I am now using a faster computer and the problem no longer happens. I did understand your suggestion - I was brainstorming ideas to make changes to APEX to account for slow computers, or computers without enough memory. To somehow guarantee a level of service for APEX applications at the end user's browser. Similar to how Oracle Enterprise manager can help guarantee certain SLAs for J2EE web applications, by monitoring performance from the browser all the way back to the disk. (I'm not sure if it 100% can do this today, but I believe this is the direct it is headed).
Well, I suppose if everyone uses fast computers this is no longer an issue. But, sometimes fast computers are hard to come by.
Thanks again for your help,
Andy

Lightroom 15000+ images ; Slow

Computer Specs: iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.16 GHz with 2GB Ram and 250 GB Harddrive.
Problem #1 15000+ image slow ...
==========
I'm using Lightroom since a month now, initially i downloaded the beta version and moved about 2000+ images (about 80% raw files, rest jpg) and it was working great ...
Now I've just purchased Lightroom 1.0 and moved about about 5 years of my digital pictures about 15000+ pictures. First i imported the first set of 2000+ pictures and it worked great again ...
then I imported 14000+ pictures (mostly jpg, less then 500 were raw) and the response from lightroom changed dramatically, it is slow. I want to assign my keywords to the pictures and tell remove the rejects and come down to 10000+ pictures. But this collection will grow,
My question to you is ...
1) Can ligthroom handle 15000+ pictures, if yes what i'm doing wrong ...
Problem # 2 Backup ... Using Export ...
===========
The way I'm backup is ... I select all pictures in the library (it was okay when manageing 2000+ pics) ... and export them to my external harddrive as DNG ... this converts my .NEF to .DNG which is perfect, but
this one also convert all my .JPG to .DNG.
Is there a way to convert only my .NEF TO .DNG but backing up my JPG as JPG
Is there another way to backup, i could not find a menu entry to backup on Lightroom.
Thanks in advance
Sajid

I have almost 13,000 images in my Library on a Windows system (Dual Core AMD 64 x2 - 2.2 Ghz - and 2 gb memory). I notice that LR takes much longer to open fully. If I wait for the HD to stop reading then LR responds fairly quickly. When scrolling through a lot of images I find that using minimal cells, instead of expanded, speeds up the thumbnail building issue. All in all I do find that LR gets pretty slow when well loaded with images, but that should improve with future upgrades.
I do still wonder why LR needs to rebuild thumbnails every time it opens. Bridge CS3 takes longer to build thumbnails, but it only has to do it once so it is faster the next time you open that folder.

Official Safari 4 Release Is Extremely Slow to Load Pages

Just installed the new Safari 4.0 (non-beta). Almost every page I bring up takes considerably longer to load. Graphics and audio are especially slow to load.
Apple just touted how much faster this browser is supposed to be at WWDC. ???
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Besides audio and video, pages with multiple images take up to 20 seconds to fully load the graphics.
I originally experienced these issues on a MacBook Pro. Now I just installed on an iMac C2D 2.66GHz and I get the exact same experience.
On Beta 4.0, the same pages loaded in about 2 seconds, even after emptying cache and doing a shift-reload.

Internet pages and email slow at loading

i have a acer aspire 64 bit lap top with windows8 but now upgraded to windows 8.1. with explorer 11 sometimes my bt home page is slow loading and emails the slow. i use my sub account email to sign in to windows and i can open the sub account emails in the live tile in the metro screen.
sometimes i have to refresh the bt home page to get it to work and the other day it came up with about blank page.
is the bt home page compatible with windows 8.1/metro, desktop, and exp 11

Foofoo,
are you running those internet on os x or windows platform?
if you run it on windows try to get antispyware program or online scan like one offered from ewido or onelive scan (microsoft).
slow connection also might caused the image not properly loaded.
repair your permission: application > utilities > disk utility > repair permission, or install Onyx or machelpmate to repair and optimize your HD.
Good Luck.

Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect.

Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect. This happens with ethernet or wifi.

Timothy ..
Contanct your ISP for support but keep in mind, if your Mac is running v10.5.8 as your profile suggests, that is a very outdated OS X and you may have issues loading graphics at this point.
If you are using Safari, empty the Safari cache then quit and relaunch Safari and try loading an image.
And make sure there's enough free space on the disk to load images.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
That will open the Get Info panel.
Check Capacity and Available. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
