It is extremely slow to load - very frustrating!!!!!

When first logging on Firefox is very slow to load - If I click the cursor in the web browser bar or in Google I get the phrase 'no response'. At times the page on loading seems to freeze.

Hi there,
That might occur when you have malware on your computer. Please take a look at this article: [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]].
Cheers!

  • Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!

    0Zen X-Fi2 extremely slow when loading playlists!?I recently purchased a Zen X-Fi2 64gb. I'd been waiting for a player of this size for a few years now but Creative was behind the power curve so I temporarily switched to an Archos 80gb. After the Archos began to annoy me I ended up just going with the Zen 32gb flash based player. It works/ed great. This new Zen X-Fi2 however is unbearably slow! I don't mind quite sometime to rebuild the library once the initial sync is done but when it takes 5 minutes to load a playlist (3000+ songs) then I get upset. It takes so long to load said playlist that the player shuts off before it has time to load all the songs. I can't even just click play right away like I could on the Zen. The only way I've been able to get around it is to tap the screen twice. Once to load the playlist (which takes forever if it's more than 00 songs) and again to play once the lengthy loading process is over with. However even then it doesn't load all the songs. I've been communicating with tech support about this with no resolution in sight. All they keep telling me is how 'normal' it is for a player to load a large number of songs. My Zen which is an MTP player syncs and plays music much faster! Is there anyway to possibly upgrade this to an MTP player?

    Hi Vokivolli,
    Almost 2 months on from your original post I see that you have received no reply from an administrator. Are these problems still persisting with your player? I have an X-Fi Style too and am experiencing the same problems. Like you I was hoping that firmware updates would address the problem. I don't think that the Style is a priority for Creative and unfortunately I don't see them bothering to solve these issues. Hope I'm wrong cos otherwise I love the X-Fi Style.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail is extremely slow to load preview pane or show email when mailbox is double-clicked. Is this a known issue?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail is extremely slow to load the preview pane or show email when mailbox is double-clicked. Is this a known issue? Or is there a solution to this issue?

    Hi AngieLynch,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing some unexpected behavior in Mail.
    Before troubleshooting on your computer, I'd strongly recommend backing up your data to an external hard drive with Time Machine, if you haven't already. This article can help with setting up Time Machine:
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Next, try creating a new user account on your computer. You can add your email account to Mail in the new user account. If Mail is more responsive in the new user account, then Mavericks is working fine and the behavior is caused by conflicts in your own Mail or user account. 
    These articles walk you through creating a new user and setting up Mail:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account (applies to Mavericks, too.)

  • All Google Services Extremely Slow to Load

    I use iGoogle as my home page and it along with all other google services (maps etc.) are extremely slow to load (30+ seconds to open). All other web sites load at regular and quick speed. It has been happening for about a week. Tried resetting home page and restoring to a previous home page version and using regular google (not igoogle) as home page and nothing works. I use Comcast as my ISP with an Airport Extreme directly connected to the Imac. Anyone have any idea? I saw some limited reference to slow google may be caused by DNS settings but not sure.

    Problem Resolved. Tried to manually change DNS setttings on Airport Extreme Router and Network Utility to commonly used Comcast DNS address in my area. The settings were saved but did not resolve the issue. Did a factory default restore on the Airport and when I set it up again it automatically took the same commonly used DNS address that I had tried to manually input and now all google services load quickly.

  • IWork apps extremely slow to load unless I disable internet connection?

    Launching any of the iWork apps is extremely slow (30 to 45 seconds) on brand new current model 21" iMac running Snow Leopard. When you check activity monitor the app usually shows not responding for most of the 30 to 45 seconds then eventually it responds and loads.
    However, if I remove the ethernet cable from the iMac (turning off access to the inernet) all the apps launch almost instantly, no more than a 2 seconds.
    We have a very slow DSL at the school so I suspect that the iWorks apps are checking something on the internet during launch but I cannot find anything in the settings that I can turn off to prevent whatever it is these apps are checking during launch.
    I am hoping someone has seen this before and has a suggestion as the only work around is removing the ethernet, launching Pages or Numbers and then plugging the ethernet back in.
    Dennis

    Check if Pages is trying to open a template from another computer. Easiest would be just to in Pages preferences > Use template > Choose button > make sure you select an template on this computer. If it is trying to open one on another which it can't connect to it would take time.

  • My email is extremely slow to load from my 4 separate accounts.  One of the accounts goes off line all the time.  It is not a service provider issue.  I think my passwords and ports may be all mixed up because I tried to adjust it myself.  How can I fix?

    My email is very slow to load from 4 separate accounts.  I think I messed up ports and SSL when I tried to fix it.  How do I fix this?

    Hello Mary,
    You may have multiple entries.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Since downloading latest software update for "numbers", Mac is now extremely slow at loading anything and has trouble playing videos (buffering). Also when put Mac to sleep, it wakes up by itself and then back to sleep, etc. Please help!

    Mac extremely slow since recently downloading latest "numbers" software update. Also Mac when put to sleep, will now wake up by itself and go back to sleep etc, etc. Please Help!

    OK, thanks. First, open Disk Utility and the Repair Disk Permissions on your internal HD. You can find DU in Applications - Utilitie. After doing so please restart in Safe Mode, this is easily done by holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard when you hear the start up tone, you will see a progress bar appear letting yuo know it's starting in Safe Mode. Then reset the SMC and PRAM, instructions can be found by clicking iMac SMC and PRAM reset. Then retest.

  • 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.

  • Firefox for Mac is extremely slow to load YouTube videos

    Every time I go to watch a YouTube video, it takes forever for the video to begin playing. When it does finally start, the quality is often very low, at 240p or 144p. I also have Chrome and Safari installed on my laptop and they do not have any problems playing videos. It is only Firefox. Also, I do not have this problem on my family's laptop, which runs Windows. It is only on my Macbook Pro.
    Also, sometimes, various websites take a very long time to load, but this is not nearly as frequent as my problem with YouTube videos.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, starting in Safe Mode, disabling various add-ons and plugins, clearing browsing data, and nothing has worked.

  • Adobe Bridge is extremely slow to load thumbnails in the content window when opening a folder.

    Has anyone else had any issues with Bridge taking a long time (45 seconds per window) to load the content window? I have my files nested in folders and when I browse them using Bridge it takes me forever to get to the files I need. I'm asking here to see if there's some setting I need to adjust or something. We just recently started using CC and I had no problems at all until our IS department swapped out my tower with a new one. I don't know why that would make a difference but it's the only thing that's changed.

    our IS department swapped out my tower with a new one. I don't know why that would make a difference but it's the only thing that's changed.
    You might want to provide more details about this configuration (OS, what files are you viewing, are you on stand alone or via server) but in general a new computer (I think that is what you are talking about?) means all the difference.
    The specs regarding free disk space, RAM, VRAM and processor speed is vital for application like PS and Bridge that are very processor demanding when busy.
    And you need to recache the lot first once to save the data for thumbs and HQ previews to the cache for future use. Once a file is cached it should show instantly. Best way to recache is to select the main folder and use the menu view / show items for subfolders and then let Bridge do its work. This can take a long time depending the amount and file size of your content.

  • Firefox extremely slow to load, stops Keyboard from working despite resetting, uninstal and downloading same problems persist

    Firefox takes forever to load. When trying to fill in a form on a Web Page the Keyboard wont work and I have to close Firefox and start over. It stops for no reason and page gets s white haze over it. I have reloaded Foxfire. Uninstalled it and downloaded the latest version but it continues. Any clues Thanks Haydn

    Another update:
    I just tried a different router, an older wireless version of the same router and when I first plugged it in and restarted my computer the internet seemed to work normally again, under 5 second page loads (which is still slower than I'm used to getting, but it was a major improvent).
    Then I checked different slots in the router to see if my IP address was changing and it was still remaining on the same IP regardless of which slot I put it in. Do I have to restart my computer everytime I change slots? Either way the internet seemed to be working fine again.
    Then I switched back to the other cord that was producing the problems and the speed slowed down again, but it was still loading pages within 10-20 seconds, leading one to believe it was indead the cord.
    However, a few minutes into browsing around the web the speed seems to be getting progessively slower. I quit Safari a few times and restarted and the pages would now flash up with no delays, click one or two links with the same results. Then with the 4th or 5th new page the speed slows, and has been slowing to a dead hault again....
    I am out of ideas, seemingly a different cord and different router helped things, but only at first. I don't think I can rule out the cord and router as not being problems, but I don't think they are the only problem either.
    It must be something to do with the IP addresses, as I am still getting the same address regardless of which router port I put it in. But, I've tried resetting the routers and going into their configurations and resetting them to system defaults, all with no luck.
    You would think my computer is the problem, as my roommates computer hasn't had any problems, however everything else on my computer is working perfectly, I've not noticed any other problems and I've tried setting and resetting every network configuration option I can think of and that still doesn't fix the problem.
    Maybe the ethernet port on my computer is busted?

  • Acrobat 9 Reader and Pro extremely slow when loading.

    Machine: Dell Precision T3500 with an Quad Core Intel® Xeon® W3540 2.93GHz, 8M L3, 4.8GT/s Turbo processor with Windows XP Pro 32-bit and 4GB RAM NECC 1066Mhz installed.
    When installing, uninstalling, restarting, reinstalling Acrobat 9 Reader and Pro, or Acrobat 9.2 Reader and Pro, and upon opening a PDF double-clicked on opens Acrobat as expected but it would take an incredibly long time to open the PDF. Opening the application and then going to File, Open also recreates the effect. When the PDF opens, you can see vector drawings appear line by line as if running on a really old machine like a Pentium II and having the computer pause like as if it has frozen up until after waiting a minute or two. During that time, Windows XP is unresponsive until after waiting for the PDF file to load. Diffferent varieties of PDF with simple one-page text to complex PDF's with scanned, vector and hundreds of pages of text has both recreated the frozen in time effect. And when scrolling to different pages within a PDF, the scrolling is choppy, jerky, and at times, pauses to have drawings to appear.
    In the past, applications behaving erratically in this fashion was traced down to the software incompatible with HyperThreading and multiple processors. Does anyone know if this might be the case with Xeon processor listed above or similar hardware? Has anyone else experience this? Information about a possible issue mentioned above after searching produced no hits both at Adobe or out there.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your input.
    Installing only one or the other (Reader vs Pro and either 9 or 9.2) produced no improvement and the same delay.
    Disabling malware applications and then uninstalling them one at a time also produced no improvement.
    Disabling the HyperThreading feature within the BIOS/CMOS did not help.
    The only workaround so far is to launch Adobe Reader or Pro first, go into Task Manager and then "Set Affinity..." and have only one check mark on any CPU from CPU 0 through CPU 7. Then either drag the PDF into the Adobe Reader or Pro, or go to File and then Open to load the PDF. This process was the only way so far to "normally" open and immediately view and scroll the PDF regardless of complexity without delays or freezes.
    Has anyone else been able to reproduce the problem and test the workaround on similar hardware?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Recently update iOS 7 on iPhone 5c. now the keyboard is extremely SLOW!! SO frustrating.  Help?

    does anyone know how to fix a slow keyboard problem on the 5c? 

    Delete background apps from memory and Reset. Press home button twice quickly, then slide all the window panes upwards to delete from memory. Then Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to restart itself.
