Internet browser slow after 10.6.8 update - it is not the connection

I have just updated to OSX 10.6.8. After that Safari and Chrome seams to be very slow to access all kind of address. The network connection is ok and emails are coming at normal speed in outlook for Mac. Using speedtest.net I got a download rate of 11 Mbps but the pages seams to load very slower then before. Any Ideas on how to solve it? I have a mbp 13" 8Gb core i7

Have my early2009 iMac connected wirelessly to my
Airport Extreme and am having no slowdown in any internet
access with 10.6.8.  Service provider Comcast.
On my Mac, I have Configure IPv6 set to automatic.
I also have my Airport Extreme set up as the DNS server
for the network and allow it to receive the DNS from the ISP.
The Extreme is also the DHCP server.
On the extreme, wireless setup is:
   Radio mode: automatic
   Radio Channel selection: automatic
   Wireless security: WPA2 Personal
guest access is disabled.
The extreme is configured via DHCP from the
ISP through the cable modem.
Also IPv6 is set to link-local only.
Not sure if any of this information will be of help,
but at least with my set up there doesn't seem to be
any issue.
PS.  Also, my 2011 13" BP i7 is also at 10.6.8 and am
having no internet speed issues over wireless.

  • HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection.  How can I get back to normal operating speed?

    After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely.  How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode?  Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. 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?

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • After doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    hiya!
    I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
    not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

    I went to do the latest update on my iphone 4s, and it said to connect to itunes so I did and continued to click restore and then it updated my phone through itunes. Then after about 40 minutes of it updating it still has the connect to itunes screen on. It won't go away and I have tried restarting and turning off my phone various ways various times. I don't know what to do!

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...
    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    After you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
    Restore from Backup  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Note:
    Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer

  • After doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly

    Since yesterday, after doing last Mavericks update, Messages is not working properly - the Dock icon is not bouncing nor showing any number for new messages. Very annoying, since I usually have Messages on background while working and I now i don't realize if people is chatting me unless I open the messages wondows.

    Hi,
    Check System Preferences > Notification is set for Messages
    In Messages > Preferences > General Section change the Sound option for Message Received.
    Restart the app and test this sound is (still) playing.
    Place app in background an iMessages "yourself" form your iPhone.
    Does the sound Play ?

    Did all the updates that Apple requested in my 64 GB IPOD and the battery continues discharging very quickly. When this problem will be solved, because before these updates were downloading not the battery so quickly. Did we revive the Steve Jobs to resolve the problem, because each update only worsens the operation. I look forward to a quick, effective and definitive solution. Thank You. Ester

  • Very slow browsing speeds after 10.4.6 update

    after updating to 10.4.6 Firefox, Safari are so slow compared to previous browsing speeds on a cable modem.
    Speed has slowed from better than T1 to low DSL.
    have run Cocktail, cron scripts, light cache cleaning etc,
    DiskWarrior says all is good...
    Disk Utility says all is good...
    permissions are good....
    TechTool reports, "A Fragment Length is Invalid" - MainAutomation_carbon.8li
    this is the only problem found.
    Would this be the cause of the slow down?
    If so, can I delete this file,, would a new one be created?
    or what can repair this file?
    If the above is not the cause of the slow down, any
    suggestions on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you created a new account and named it "test" to see how your browsers work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.

  • Internet browsing slow

    My internet browsing is slow.
    Using:
    MacBook Pro
    Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    Just run a internet speed test (all tests has run several times to account for one run that were not a good sample)
    On my macbook (the one with problems. Done before reboot): download 7.5 Mbps / Upload 3.1 Mbps (wireless)
    On my macbook (the one with problems. Done after reboot): download 22 Mbps / Upload 9.6 Mbps (wireless)
    I must add that before the upgrade of my internet connection (running then at 50 Mbps) my new macbook speed was 49 Mbps to donwload (that was several months ago)
    On another old macbook pro (about 6 years old): download 35 Mbps / Upload 9.5 Mbps (wireless)
    On another old macbook pro (about 6 years old): download 73.1 Mbps / Upload 9.6 Mbps (ethernet cable)
    iPhone 5: download 22.3 Mbps / Upload 10 Mbps
    iPad Air: download 19 Mbps / Upload 10 Mbps
    Test on my new macbook run on Safari and Chrome with similar results.
    I think it is proved there is a problem.
    I do not run any security software in my new mackbook
    One month ago I notice that my browser was taking long time to load a page and sort of fixed cleaning caches and other parts of the system
    See below the paste of the output of a script that I got from some other thread with a similar problem. I am happy to disable software step by step if you think relevant as otherwise my next step is going to be a fresh installation of the OS

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • System gets Slow after 10.6.5 update

    So, I just updated it using standalone combo installer and straight away notice that to repair the disc permitions now takes 3 mins, before it took only 1min. even if there is nothing to repair. and futher more my whole system gets very slow after a few hours of using safari, skype, vuze, together and wasn't able to shut down just after using safari alone, had to press the power. havent been using anything else for so long so dont know how about it, but it seems to be ok. ah, im using airport to get to the internet if that's important.

  • Running slow after downloading a mandatory update

    running slow after downloading an update!
    I had zero complaints until today when I downloaded an update and restarted my machine.
    Now It feels like I'm back in the PC world.
    Any suggestions?

    If it is Safari loading web pages slowly, I would suggest http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230 or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594, one of these will surely help. If not, as previously suggested, more detail will greatly help.

  • Network slow after 10.4.5 update

    Hi there, after installing the 10.4.5 update my PowerBook 12" is really slow when accessing network services. Web, Mail are impossibly slow.
    I have a cable modem broadband connection with a Belkin wireless router sharing the connection. The laptop connects via Airport and uses DHCP for autoconfiguration.
    I have tried the fix suggested on MacFixit of putting the DNS manually in the TCP/IP settings. Also I have turned off IPv6 which was also suggested to no avail.
    My other laptops with earlier system revisions are running fine (I am using one to write this) and I have tried the Mac on another network with the same effect so it has to be something that 10.4.5 has done to my poor alubook
    Can anyone help please.

    We've now received notes indicating that a tried and true workaround for various issues -- re-applying the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater (as noted in our general workarounds for 10.4.5) -- can have beneficial effects in this case as well.

    "After much thrashing about and wasted time, I appear to have solved both the slow web page loading as well as my email sending problems in one stroke. Guess how: download the Mac OS X 10.4.5 combo updater and reapply it. This nonsense has cost me a lot of time but everything seems to work now. IPv6 is set back to Automatic, there is no entry in the Network prefs DNS server field, and my email sending works perfectly (so far; I've sent a bunch of tests). Why didn't I just download the combo updater and apply from my hard drive at the beginning? Well, Software Update should (yes, I know, I know...) work. I'll never again use Software Update for a system update."

    I hope I can make sense of this. I am somewhat of a rookie with Workgroup Manager and Xserve. I have 30 computers (Imacs) using a Xserve 10.4.11 version. The students have their own accounts. I am trying to have one student, let's say sitting on comp
