Internet slow on mac but not pc!

My mac is loading pages a lot slower than my pc and they are all on the same network, even itunes seems to be slower on my mac then on my pc. I didn't used to have this problem. I have reset safari but i haven't done much else.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

bumping because I've been having the same issue ever since I came home from college. basically the situation is that websites load extremely slowly on my mac pro, but not on any other computer (all windows pcs) connected to the same network. I even disconnected my mac pro and plugged in my windows laptop and the connectivity was fine - which makes me think it has something to do with the settings on the mac.
I disabled IPV6 and reboot my mac, router, and modem but to no avail. what's wrong?! has anyone found a definitive solution for this problem? it's very aggravating.

Internet running slow on mac but not PC

The internet on my MacBook is running painfully slow both through a wired connection and through my wireless network. The problem happens when utilizing Firefox, Safari, updates and iTunes. It makes it impossible to view Youtube videos and download large software upgrades.
I have tried speedtest.net and the download rate is reasonable, however it does not match the download rate my computer experiences. The download as shown in the dialogue box (when I try to download software updates, photos, etc.) is in the range of 3 - 6 KB/sec but speedtest shows a download speed of 10Mbps.
Any ideas on how I should proceed?
Thank you.

Internet slow on mac but fast on windows

Hello,
I recently bought this mac book pro...from Amazon last week.
It has the Lion OS.
I have a Belkin N Wireless router at home and comcast Internet.
I have a couple of windows lapstops at home (Lenovo) and now have this new Mac.
The internet on the mac seems to be teribbly slow compared to the Windows PC ?
I enter the url and then the blue background progress bar gets stuck at around maybe 10 to 20% and then not forward movement ?
speedtest.net told me that I have to update my flash playwer (SW something)...which I did and then
speedtest.net gives me 25+_ mbps speed results but browsing mostly is extrmely painful....
after this the internet also seems to work ok, so was it the flash ? (not sure why that would be need for all sites or atleast most of the sites?)
I had instaled this flash last week also and then today when I updated my MAC with the apple updates...looks like it lost it again ?
not sure if the internet will be slow again tomorrow.... -:(
Any ideas please ?
Also, every time I have boot the machine or bring it back from sleep I have to go to network diagnostics and get the internet back ?
no clue what is going on....
Any thoughts would be much appreciated !!

Naresh

The information you're giving me is ambiguous, so I can't be sure that I'm giving you the right information either. However, it seems at least possible that there was an improvement when you logged in as guest, and no improvement when you booted in safe mode and logged in as yourself. I'll assume that's the case.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Step 1
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion) or open the Library subfolder of your home folder (pre-Lion). Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Finder window open. Try Safari again.
Step 2
If it still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 2, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place. You don’t need to restore the files you deleted in step 1.

Slow internet speed on Mac, but not on iPad

So, I've just tested my internet speed on my Mac and I got very low results. I also ran the test on my iPad and got the full and regular speed. I noticed that indeed the internet is faster on my iPad. This wasn't happening at all, not that I can remember. Is my Mac's network card damaged or something?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

I installed window7 on mac but not able to connect internet. how to install drivers

i installed window7 on mac but not able to connect internet. how to install drivers if it needs to be.

if you downloaded driver updates through bootcamp onto flash drive then once windows is installed, open the flash drive in windows. You'll see an application called Setup. Double click on it and it will install all the drivers for wireless and ethernet and usb.
You cant just tell windows to search for driver updates. These EXPERTS aren't telling you this.

I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
I was wondering about that one in particular.
Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:

(Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me...
I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
help!!!
if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.

Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page. Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously. This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC. Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites. Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

Error when Writing Metadata to Files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC)

We get an error when writing metadata to files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC). In the same drive and folder, the PC can successfully write a keyword to a file on the PC, where the Mac returns an error. I have researched this at the Adobe Knowledgebase, but their answer seemed to indicate it was a global issue, and we don't see that behavior on the PC.
The client is a Mac of course, and the server volume is a Windows share volume. The Mac is bound to AD, and the domain\username and username formats have both been tried when logging in, but you receive the error in both.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the same problem using FreeNAS (which uses Samba and Netatalk in the backend), but I tried with both AFP and SMB on Mavericks and Yosemite, I still have the same issue. I think it might be a timing issue with how lightroom interact with a slower write delay using network shares. I suggest you also chime into this thread: Lightroom 5 can't write metadata to DNG files I really hope this is resolved as this is impacting my productivity as I moved my workflow to my Macbook with a shared NAS.

If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.
