Internet is slow to load or doesn't load at all....sometimes. why would this be?

Only recently this has been happening and I'm not sure why. Sometimes its absolutely fine and then pages will either load extremely slowly, a few minutes to load, or not at all. A message that appears sometimes is, REQUEST TIMEOUT , can anyone help? Thanks in advance

  • HT201272 I purchased some music on my iPod touch and want to download them to my iPad mini also but I can't get the purchased section to load at all anyone else had this problem?

    Ok so I have an iPod touch 4th gen and I purchased some music on it. I also have an iPad mini and wanted to download it onto there also. Problem is that no matter how many times I try I can't get my purchased music section to load. I get the big at the top where you can select all or not on this iPad and the alphabet down the left hand side and the little loading thingy appears but nothing ever actually loads no matter how long I wait. It also sometimes just crashes the whole thing and kicks me out the app. Any suggestions? I've tried turning device on and off, it has the latest software iOS 7 and I've tried resetting all the settings already also as well as logging in and out of my Apple ID.

  • New Time Capsule, Fast internet but slow on loading video?

    Just install TC in ethernet connection and used the Wifi for my laptop, The problem is the slower loading of video from youtube or even @ the apple site's to my mac and even to my portables!?
    I didn't have this kind of problem even before installing the TC and tried reseting my safari thinking maybe it would make it load faster. Please help!

    OK I tried to separate the 5ghz and 2.4ghz names by going into wireless/wireless options and selecting the first checkbox.....didnt work. I tried using my Belkin router as a wireless access point. My iMac will connect to the Belkin and the TC but iPhone still wont connect to neither the Belkin nor the TC. I tried turning off NAT .....didnt work. I have pretty much tried every setting in Airport Utility and my iphone will not get internet. Would reverting to an old firmware version be worth a try? Is this safe to try?

  • Compared to Internet Explorer, Firefox is very slow to load up websites. Why?

    I was trying searching through some of the social security websites with Firefox. It would take up to 5 minutes for Firefox to load certain pages. When I copied/pasted the address into Internet Explorer the page came up immediately. Any suggestions?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Safari/internet is slow to load

    Safari is acting odd.  Some pages load normal, some at dial-up speed and others not at all.  This is occuring with all of my Apple products; however, all are affected in slightly different ways.  ISP advised that there is no issue with their service.  I have a Mac, Mac Notebook and two (2) Iphones on my home network.  To my mind there are several inconsistencies with the problem.  For instance on the Mac, Pandora will load one song (when forced) and will only play one song.  While itunes radio and Stitcher work without fail.  All three work fine on the iPhones.  Any suggestions/solutions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I also forgot to add that for some of the pages that don't load or load slow.  if you actually type the address into the address bar preceeded by "https://" instead of relying on search links or bookmarks it will load. 

  • Internet sites slow to load

    when opening internet site I get spinning fan for extended periods of time. This just started happening a few months ago.

    You've absolutely no need for anything like Webroot SecurityAnywhere. I'm sure that it's what's mucking up your access to some sites.
    The best thing that you can do is to uninstall Webroot according to the developer's instruction and try to get your money back.

  • Slow webpage loading on all browsers

    Hi,
    I have the problem that webpages tend to load extremely slow on all browsers under the latest Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2012. I say tend, because sometimes pages load instantly, but very often it takes minutes to open or a page loads only partially. So there is some random element of surprise mixed in. The problem exists on all browsers I have on my system. It does not on my Windows laptop. I have tried anything I could find on the web that is even remotely related to this issue. I will just list, what I have tried so far:
    1) I have deleted my wireless connection under network preferences and setup a new one.
    2) I have tested other DNS servers, Google's amongst then (8.8.8.8).
    3) I have deactivated DNS prefetching on Safari.
    4) I have tested Chrome and Internet Explorer (via VMware Fusion).
    5) I have done several speed tests with two ISPs.
    6) I have tested the disk permission verification and repair tip.
    7) I have tested a different wireless router as well as different wireless standards (g vs n).
    8) I ran a traceroute which turned out fine.
    9) I have tested several FTP severs. The problem seems to be isolated to HTTP browsing.
    Can't think of anything else I have tested, but that should cover most of it. I do not want to setup a new system and postpone the issue. I want to find the cause of this.
    Maybe anyone can help we resolve this issue.

    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. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Premiere Pro Project Very Slow To Load....Why?

    Hello All
    Really hope that someone can suggest a reason as to why I may be experiencing this problem.  Firstly, heres the problem:
    Problem: I open a Premiere Project and it opens up.  The bar at the bottom reports that all media is loaded, however my thumbnails are very slow to populate and then be hover scrubbable (new verb!).  Not only that the timeline thumbnails take ages to update and are not available for me to begin scrubbing through right away. Very frustrating.
    Here's some facts:
    System Hardware:
    2013 Mac Pro; 3Ghz 8 Core Model; 32 GB RAM; Dual D700s 6GB
    SSD - Mac Standard 512GB as boot drive and for applications
    Edit Drive - Thunderbolt connected LaCie 2Big 4TB Drive x 2 (these are daisy chained via thunderbolt too and striped together in a RAID for maximum throughput) Speeds are generally in excess of 500Mbps read and write
    System Software and Information:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10
    Premiere Pro Project stored on Edit Drive with all media for that project
    Cache Files stored on same drive as Project (Edit Drive)
    Project Size = 48.7MB
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this problem is occurring? Previously had problems with the MacPro/GPU Mavericks 10.9.3 issue that everyone had been reporting but seems to have gone away now and after some other troubleshooting like resetting preferences and PRAM; running Safe Boot Disk Permission Repair (as recommended by Larry Jordan).
    Really appreciate any help and this is a really annoying issue and is affecting our workflow hugely.
    Cheers

    Hm, if the issue occurs with two different host systems, then i would rather think that there are maybe issues with the network. Are you aware of any changes/updates done by IT? Security patches, changes of software on router, ....
    What you maybe can try is to isolate one of the host and connect one of the PXI using a cross cable directly to this host. Does the issue occur there again(still)?
    You can format/reinstall one of the PXIs to do a cross check with one system with original state, the other with newly installed state.

  • My internet is slow when connected to the wireless router..how do I fix this?

    I am having problems with my internet connection. I have a netgear wireless router that I purchased 2 years ago. My computer has been running off this connection and recently it has been extremely slow. So I plugged in the ethernet cord directly into the back of my computer and it runs fine. This would solve my problems, BUT I have other devices that I would like to run off the wireless connection, and I don't like going back and forth. SOmeone please HELP!

    I had the same problem a few months ago, nobody knew what the reason for 100%.
    Advised me to restart router, did not help.
    Advised me to refresh settings in mac and the connection, did not help for long,  after two weeks it was the same.
    Advised me to change router because mac should work with any router but prefer AirPort to work with.
    This solved all the problems and even the connection work faster.
    Before AirPort Extreme I had for 2 years belklin's router and for 2 years netgear, looks like 2 is the magic number for others.
    Unless the mac is doing something special, but I do not believe it.

  • My ethernet data speed slowly slows down until it doesn't work. How do I fix this.

    So as the title says, I plug my MacPro into hard wired ethernet and slowly but surely my data speeds drop to the point that I have to unplug the ethernet and go back to using wifi. Then if I restart the computer and plug it back in it'll work fine for a little and start to do the same thing. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
    As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    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.

  • IMac is slow to wake from sleep, or doesn't wake at all sometimes

    hi guys
    I have a mac from late last year, i have updated software to 10.8.3, and found another update to help wake the mac up.  I have enabled hot corners, so you can you the mac to sleep by touching the corner, then swiping the track pad to wake....this will work for about 15 mins or so.  If you leave the screen for 2-4 hours, approx half the time you need to push the button on the back to start it back up.  Sometimes you will swipe the track pad, it will wake but the keyboard won't be working.  So then have to restart and all is well again.
    Am i missing something?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When upgrading to Firefox 5 I'm unable to load my Tiscali emails, why is this?

    When I used firefox 3 I tried the version 4 Beta although I had to revert back to 3 as it wouldn't load my emails, my service provider is Talk Talk. When the final V4 arrived I upgrade and I could access my emails fine. Now you have V5 available but when I upgrade it prevents me openeing my emails again as before so I have to revert to V4 (it doesn't load the screen up fully once I have entered my password). Every time I open my firefox it asks me to update, of course I have to say no as it will prevent me from accessing my emails again. How can I stop updates on FF or are you going to resolve the email problem, if answers are NO then I'll have no alternative but to remove FF altogether.
    Regards,
    Andy Dodd

    I haven't heard of any similar message before. In your "More system details..." it lists two different Adobe PDF plugins, version 8 and version 9. You may have a conflict there, especially if the older one isn't disabled. You could try to disable it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    If that doesn't help... Adobe Reader and the plugin have been updated to version 10. but Are you willing to upgrade Adobe Reader to see whether that fixes the problem?

  • I've upgraded to 6.0.1 and now firefox no longer loades AT ALL. I get this XULRunner error: Platform version "5.0" not compatable with minVersion = 6.0.1 and maxVersion = 6.0.1. What can I do to get Firefox working again as my browser?

    After deleting everything, I've also tried to reload 3.6.12 fresh and I get a totally different nss3.dll entry point cannot be found error.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
