I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
Thanks

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

I can't watch shopnbc on my iPad from their website. I used to be able to watch it live, but now it says error loading file. Help?

Having issues with watching shopnbc live, from their website, on my iPad 4. I used to be able to watch it live, but for some reason, when I select the play button, it tells me "error loading file" . That's it. Anyone know a fix for this, or what may be going on here?

My guess is that they recently changed how the videos work. I logged in on my MacBook and the stream worked fine, but it is Flash content in a JW Player video player. From what I see on the website. This video player works with html5 as well as Flash so I'm not sure why it isn't working, unless the site has not updated the content for html5 and is only using Flash right now. But you should get the message on the iPad that the content is in Flash and can't be viewed on the iPad.
I tried it with three different browsers identifying as mobile and as desktop browsers and I get the same results as you no matter what I do. So my assumption is that the site content was recently changed and it has to be updated. But that is just a guess.
The message about the website having issues when I used iCab Mobile and identified as a desktop browser. The issue has to be on their end.

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?

I thought ff4 was suppose to be faster than 3.6 but it is slower loading and getting to websites. Are ther certain add-ons that could be affecting ff4 that did not affect 3.6?

ff4 generally slower loading and loading pages.

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

IMac - Slow load and wifi problems

I have lion installed on my macbook pro and on my iMac. My macbook pro works GREAT...no problems. My iMac - I am ready to toss out a window. Here are the problems:
INCREDIBLY slow boot up time - 5-10 minutes from off - 5-8 minutes from sleep
The hard drive is constantly working. I can have nothing open and it sounds like the hard drive is constantly spinning
Half the time my wifi hardware is not found on boot up and I have to reboot with slow load times - sometimes taking 20 minutes before I can get logged in to a 'working' computer
A lot of my programs have become slow. Safari can be slow responsive but others that are not apple that have done 'lion updates'
I have my activity monitor running and nothing seems to be hogging resources. My iMac specs are:
2.8 intel core i5
12 gb ram
2 TB hard drive with about 1tb free
I ran the lion update that came out and it did not seem to do much for me.
Anyone have a solution? Anyone tried a clean format and did this work? Lion works great on my laptop and I just need it to work on my main computer as well.
Reba

i think part of the boot up time issue is the amount of windows you happen to have open when you put it to sleep
other is lion upgrade slows it down due to this auto save function
my wifi is also spotty and acts like it can't find itself at times
and this is a brand new imac

Camino solves slow loading webpages in Safari

For those having troubles with suddenly slow loading webpages in Safari, i found out that when opening the Camino web browser the slow loading web address in Safari will open fast.
So keep your Camino open too and hit the reload button when having problems.
Maybe this tip was submitted earlier but maybe it helps some of you.
For me it works.

I fixed it with this

Slow load times on AU sites?

is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!

I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

A URL will not load in Firefox (it does nothing) but will load in Safari; some other URLs also have a similar problem.

In Safari with the above website, I cannot "View Source". Also, I have the same problem viewing images of patents at the USPTO, again probably a similar problem. Perhaps the web address isn't HTML but is an image format not supported by Firefox. Perhaps there is a plug-in or add-on that will be able to read the image, but should probably be included in the main Firefox release since it seems to be fairly common.

A twitter widget on my website will not load in firefox but will load in every other browser I've tried. I have tried several versions of firefox. Here is the code I am trying to run:
<code>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 5,
interval: 6000,
width: 'auto',
height: 265,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#333333',
color: '#ffffff'
tweets: {
background: '#000000',
color: '#ffffff',
links: '#4aed05'
features: {
scrollbar: false,
loop: false,
live: true,
hashtags: true,
timestamp: true,
avatars: false,
behavior: 'all'
}).render().setUser('ShawnC4Real').start();
</code>
And the first thing I checked was that scripts were enabled.

Slow loading laptop, slow loading laptop

Hi I have done everything I can think off that apple has told me to do to help my laptop, it opens and shut's great now but when loading pages it is so slow and the timer spins for ages........any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated please x

It's a step by step guide. It's written for the average users who doesn't know the technical aspects of it.
You can use Domain Name System (DNS) servers and search domains to avoid typing the complete address of Internet domains you use frequently.
DNS is the way Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
The search domains you enter in your Network preferences are automatically appended to names you type in Internet applications.
For example, if you specify the search domain apple.com, typing “store” in your web browser takes you to store.apple.com. Or, if you use campus.university.edu as a search domain, you can type “server1” in the Finder’s Connect To Server dialog to connect to server1.campus.university.edu.
To enter a DNS server address and search domains:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as AirPort or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address for the DNS server.Click Add at the bottom of the Search Domain list and enter the search domain, apple.com for example.
When you’re finished, click OK.
Domains are searched in the order you list them, and the search stops when a valid name is found.
To search a name hierarchy, use search domains of varying scope. For example: building.campus.university.edu, campus.university.edu, university.edu.
I wouldn't be able to say this any better than the guide. I can recommend Google's DNS servers which I use:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
So you won't have to search for that. If the above doesn't work, try disabling DNS prefetching which is also explained step by step in the support article:

Slow loading on website

I am new to Quicktime Pro, but have found it very easy to use with great quality results endoding my FC files for the web. My problem is that when a user clicks to open my video sample, the file has a very slow load time. Some specifics:
input file: 1.8 GB file exported from FCE as uncompressed 8-bit
output file: in QTPro - encoded with H.264, 15 fps, 100 key frame, 800 kbps, set for streaming (fast start), 640X480, deinterlacing checked. file size 8 MB.
As I said, the quality is great (except that the deinterlacing filter doesn't seem to do anything), but the playback outpaces the load very quickly. It takes almost 2-3 minutes for the file to be ready to start automatically. I've been told that an 800 kbps file should load in a few seconds.
Is there anything you could tell me to enhance the load time? I'm wondering if I'm missing a simple step since QT has been so easy to start to use.
Thanks so much for your help!! Jo

Nothing at all wrong with your QuickTime file but your html code at http://aftglow.com/ directly links to it rather than calling the quickTime browser plug-in.
That may be the source of your troubles. You need to use special html page code for QuickTime:

Website slow loading

So I am having a problem with one website that I frequent. It it much slower loading than other websites I visit. The progress bar seems to freeze for several seconds. Sometimes if I hit the x then the reload symbol the page loads right away. I have asked other people, it is a forum site, if they have had problems lately and nobody has experienced the slow loading problem I have. One person suggested clearing the history which I did. That didn't work so I researched the web and found a suggestion to delete the cache from the library and also clear history. I did that as well and nothing has improved. It only happens on this one site and has only started happening in the last two maybe three weeks.
Any suggestions on what else I could try? I do not want to use another browser to see if it works in another browser. It used to work fine but doesn't now. Just looking for other things I could try to resolve the issue.

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

Slow loading website

So I just finished my website but it loads piece by piece and
a slower than I would have liked. is there anyway to improve this
that would not require me redoing it all over? The site is here:
http://www.martinpaulphotography.com/index.html
thanks,
Martin.

A couple of things:
(1) If the music is in your flash file, you can delay it a
few frames. Too much in the first frame slows loading. You might
consider adding a volume X button for those that want to browse w/
sound.
(2) Optimize the images of your page. There are a lot of them
which is one of the reasons for the slow load.
Is that your musical composition? If not, you should post
your use with permission on the front page to oblige the author's
permission. If you don't have that....lose the music. Be careful
here, especially with professional sites.

Do I have DNS problems? Slow loading or no access ...

Hi all,
Most of the time my broadband seems to play nicely however I seem to have painfully slow loading or non-loading websites with annoying regularity. It is not all sites and the problem seems rather selective.
Sites that I know are up (such as bbc.co.uk) are sometimes impossible to load. A speed test shows somewhere between 2Mb and 7.5Mb (yeah, I know - contention in my area is a real issue).
If I VPN out to a proxy server then everything works just fine.
Does anyone know if this is a BT DNS issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 but still no joy - pick a random page and some work, some don't. My smart TV is decidedly dumb and nothing will stream. Give it a few hours and it is usually fine.
I am also randomly getting the message that "You're seeing this page becasue BT parental controls is active and you are attemtping to connect to a DNS outside of our network" which I am not...
[sigh]
