Logitech MX Revolution Tilt Feature in Safari is Slow.

Logitech MX Revolution Tilt Feature in Safari is Slow.
I've tried increasing the speed setting in the Logitech Configuration software in Systems Pref., but this did not help.
It works much better in Firefox.
So, is there something I need to do in Safari?

Logitech MX550 Revolution Keyboard and mouse combo

I've been searching forever to find a solution, a driver for the keyboard and mouse. I've found pay for solutions such as, steermouse but only for the mouse. I would really like to find some software that would enable me to use my Keyboard and mouse the their full potential. If you have this same set you probably already know my frustrations, you pay a good deal of money on your keyboard and mouse and can only use them and the base level.
If anyone has found a solution please let me know thank you.

Seeing that the Logitech MX550 Revolution Keyboard and mouse combo is a "Windows only" supported set up, I don't believe you would be able to use it on your MacOS partition.
I would think it would be fine for your Windows partition, tho don't hold me to it.
Good Luck.

What's this 'Zoom' feature in Safari?

I was wondering what exactly do you do with this 'Zoom' feature in Safari 3.1.1. When I hit 'Zoom' the window just resizes. But I don't think anything gets zoomed in. So, what's this feature for? How to get this thing working?

Hi,
Oddly enough, I just tried that, and all it did was to make the page bigger, but it also 'zoomed' in to your posting, in much the same way as clicking on the green button does. I suspect that it's tool that enables us to go to a particular part of a page (such as the postings in these forums) rather than have to scroll through them. I've also discovered, that to click on minimise sends the page to the dock, so you would do better to click on the green button to restore the page to a more workable size, or to the window size before you clicked on Zoom.

Macbook Pro Wi-Fi causes mouse lag for Logitech MX Revolution

I just got the new 15" Macbook Pro 2.4ghz on Tuesday, October 28th. Yesterday, I tried using my Logitech MX Revolution mouse with it only to discover that it was nearly unusable. The cursor would lag terribly, sometimes sticking in one spot for several seconds and it was often not registering mouse clicks or scrolling. I tried it on my old Powerbook G4 that I had been using it on without issue for over a year. It had the same issue all of a sudden so I tried it on my co-workers 2007 Macbook Pro, he works across the office from me, and the mouse worked perfectly again. Next, I brought my old Powerbook over to his desk to see if there was some interference at my desk, and sure enough, it worked on that Powerbook again. So I then tried disabling the wifi on my new mac and lo and behold, the mouse worked perfectly on that machine.
I've tried switching the channel on our office router (it's a 1TB Time Capsule) a few times and that would help for a few seconds, and then the mouse lag would begin again. I doubt there's a way to change the frequency on the Macbook's wifi card, but if there is let me know. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to do. I will be a little upset if this mouse (which cost me $100) is obsolete because of my Macbook upgrade. There must be a way to get it working again. Ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I use a new 2,53ghz Macbook Pro togeter with a MX Revolution mouse. I use 2 Airport Extreme base stations in my w-lan and until now see no issues using the mouse.
Do you have the chance to try and check if the same promlem occuors when using an other MX Revolution / receiver combo , maybe there is an issue there.

Is there anyway to get the "Search with google" feature in Safari to automatically open in new tab?

Is there any way to get the "Search with google" feature in safari to automatically open the link in a new tab?
I am indifferent as to the solution, whether it be an extension, plug-in or apple script using automator as long as it is well documented.
Have yet to see an elegant solution.

Hold down the command key while selecting the menu item.

Are multiple rows of tabs a planned feature for Safari?

I've been a Mac users for almost 5 months now. A feature I've really missed from my previous browser( Firefox) was multiple rows to make it easier to navigate my tabs. With every Safari release, the 1st thing that I check for is support for multiple rows of tabs.
Otherwise, I really love this browser, but the lack this feature really bugs me. I wonder if there is some technical limitation that is rooted the way that Safari is designed that makes this feature extremely difficult to implement.
Does any know if Apple has plans to add this feature in Safari 8.x or 9.x?

thanks, I was afraid of that. I dropped Apple a line
Please add the option to configure Safari to create tabs as multiple rows of tabs in the case that the width of open tabs exceed the width of the Safari application window. This is feature is common in modern browsers, and it has become the de facto standard by which users evaluate Web browsers.
Let's hope that they listen!

What Happend to the RSS Feed feature in Safari and Mail?

It seems all the Built in RSS features in Safari and Mail have been removed in Mountain Lion? Anyone know if they are gone or moved?

The RSS feature was removed from Safari and Mail by Apple.
So they're gone.
There are 3rd party solutions you can use. NetNewsWire and Reeder are both good options on OS X, and Reeder is a great iOS client. They all use Google Reader on the back end.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Safari in slow motion?

I use Safari 5.06 and have a 60/60 Mbps line. When I start Safari I usually get my full 60/60 speed, but if I open three or four more windows, everything slows down to half speed or worse. Why? (I do understand that secure lines SSL etc. pages with much content like video etc, will take more bandwith but this is not an issue here)
All help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!

If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file: Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db and also clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page. Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 and later appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML in January 2011: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/26/apple_revamps_its_public_website_u sing_html5.html

Videos won't stream (eg youtube) and safari very slow

Hi, I have 2 problems and would really appreciate any help
1 - safari very slow to open pages and has been like this for weeks. I have seen a solution to change to 'opendns' under System preferences > network > advanced tab but I cannot see an option for that. I think this may be my problem as Google always opens quickly. Can anyone elaborate on this solution?
2 - Videos won't stream and just hang with circle (e.g on sites like youtube) which started about 1 week ago. Only thing I have done differently is watching megavideos on unknown site. I have tried the solutions given under other threads (e.g. deleting cache files and uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash). This seemed to help slightly the first time I tried it but still took approx 60s to stream 1 minute video. Has now reverted back to not streaming.

To set up a test account, open System Preferences > Accounts, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, then click on the "+" sign, name the account "test" and leave the password field blank, since you don't need the account that long; you can delete it later.
Quit System Preferences, log out of the regular user account and into the test account, then try using Safari to load pages and videos to see if the problem continues there.
Other things you can try in your regular user account that may help your problem or solve it are this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
3. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Why is Safari becoming slow and unresponsive?

Ok - I have exactly the same problem. I can run safari and use it. After a short while it becomes slow and unresponsive. When I quit I get the rainbow ball of death and the only way I can stop the application is to force quit.
It is definitely linked to a particular network account as the guest account check above shows that it runs fine on another account.
As I watch system memory in actvity monitor while I use safari the fhe following occurs:
1.     free memory gets gradually used up to about 50%
2.     Inactive memory gradually builds to about 50% of total
3.     Then page in and page outs build massively and the swap file goes into overdrive
I have 32GB memory on board but even so it doesn't take long for Safari to gobble it up.
At the same time CPU % shows 90-100% and Real Mem sits around 15-18GB.
By this stage the whole machine is slow and unresponsive as safari ***** up all its processor and memory resources.
I have taken the following action:
1.     reset safari using the reset process built into the app - no difference
2.     deleted the preferences file - no difference
3.     deleted the Library/cache file - no difference
Thought about resetting NVRAM but decided that it wouldn't make much difference because it seems to be linked to a user.
Any thoughts/suggestions on other actions I can take would be welcome.
Are there other cache or preference files that I should be trashing. Can I delete and reinstall safari? I don't really want to have to go through the process of establishing a new user and rebuilding a reasonably substantial docs and photo library and set up.
Help.

Safari 4 slow, crash, shutdown problems? Three solutions to try...

There are many posts addressing Safari 4's slowness and worse. I had these problems and cured them with three fixes:
1. Empty Cache periodically - Still tried and true. For me, a blank screen trying to load is the cue to empty cache - page then pops.
2. Turn off Top Sites. This "enhancement" consumes time and takes hard drive space. Someone suggested turning it off and then getting rid of the files (not folders) it had set aside. (They are located in home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews.) I found almost 3,000 files consuming about 600 MB residing there! They are simply saved web pages, so no hidden risks from deleting them. The next thing to do is keep Safari from saving new webpages. I found the simplest solution is to click on "Website Previews," then Get Info and change permission to "Read Only." I did these Top Sites actions in July. It really helped and I've had no problems.
Then, my Safari started slowing down again, frequently getting hung up (requiring Force Quit), and even crashing. Also, my computer was running hot. I turned on Activity Monitor in the Dock with CPU usage showing and saw the CPU was being driven up to 100% by some websites. Businessweek.com became my test site because it was so slow and invariably crashed Safari after a short while. The key seemed to be the number of Flash videos a webpage was trying to load, so I started a search for a cure. That led me to...
3. Install ClickToFlash (http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/). You can find others who have recommended it in the Apple discussions and elsewhere. Easy to download, it's unobtrusive and IT WORKS! Now, those Business Week pages load quickly with four(!) little white boxes labeled "Flash". There is a gear that gives you options: load flash, load all on this page, add -site- to whitepage (meaning always load flash on this website - this whitepage list can be edited), and ClickToFlash settings. It's quick and easy to turn on a flash. Now, my Activity Monitor hardly moves, and my computer runs cool.
Hope these help for you. For me, these solutions have cured my Safari problems - at least until Apple releases a new upgrade or version.

Safari is slow/I give up

I give up. Safari is slow at loading other sites if it loads at all. A different browser has NO PROBLEMS loading!!

Greetings,
Safari is not slow at all; the problem is with your system. Instead of complaining, try this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Safari VERY slow on MacBook.

My macbook has somewhat a lot memory left, but it seem that Safari has gotten slower. When i click on links, or try to use another tab for a link, it runs VERY slow for me, and sometimes wont even load. Is there anything i can do to speed up my browser?

If Safari is slow in another User account, you more than likely have a system-wide issue. I would suggest an Archive and Install.

Ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade the the iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great.

ipad 4 retina display is slow after iOS 8, also upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 i think and safari is slow, animations are slow, and i can't restore it to iOS 7, there it was great. i mean its like my iphone 4 with iOS 7 in its best days. i hope no to get stuck again, i mean please let me go to the iOS 7)).

Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.
