Long delay when opening a webpage on any Mac on my network!! help!

I've been suffering for months, waiting up to about five minutes at a time for a web page to load on my Mac Mini G4 on Safari. My brother has the same problem with his iMac G5. If I were to just open a page and let it load, half the time it would give me an error message after 10 mins but sometimes it just loads instantly. When it works, it loads very quickly. If I reload the page, it sometimes loads. Other times I have to reload many times before it responds, and I doubt my reloading does anything useful. I have Optimum Online cable and a Netgear WGR614 router. Could something be wrong with the router? PLEASE, I can't take it anymore, and I don't know what to do, so if anyone has an idea, please help! It may be an obvious solution because I really have no idea how to fix it.

The symptoms you describe are classic DNS lookup issues. DNS is the process whereby the system looks up the web addresses you type into the browser and converts them into IP numbers which the internet actually uses. Usually an ISP will have two or three DNS servers that the settings they provide for you will automatically use to undertake these lookups, and are either entered into the network preference pane on the system or into the router. Sometimes data doesn't get passed to the DNS server or get returned from them efficiently, so you should check the DNS server data provided by your ISP (either in their documentation or set within your router). There should be two IP addresses listed.
Enter these same addresses in the DNS Servers box in the ethernet (or Airport depending on how you connect to the router) preference pane, then click OK.
Actually any valid DNS server IP addresses will do, but those provided by your own ISP would generally respond faster than any others. However, if you find that even with them set into the network preference pane the lookups still are not reasonably fast, then do an internet search for 'DNS servers' and pick two or three IP addresses you find and enter those. As long as the servers are visible on the internet (and by their nature almost every DNS server is), even ones on the other side of the world will return the lookup data for you.

Long delay when sending non-btinternet mail

We are using Outlook Express/Windows mail client, and there is a long long delay when sending mail.
It just hangs saying "Connecting..." in the status bar. Receiving email has no problems.
Eventually it sometimes works or sometimes just times out.
The smtp server is not btinternet/yahoo but our own email server, which we have been using for 10 years. There is no problem pinging the smtp server. e.g. smtp.ourserver.net
It works without delays on other (non BT) home/business networks.
We have tried plugging other laptops into this home network and trying to send email (to the same mail server) - same problem.
It therefore seems to be peculiar to a BT Hub or BT as the ISP.
The problem seems to have first appeared when an upgrade was made to cater for future fibre optic services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)
Starting from 10.5.1 again I opened up Activity Monitor and found this message every 10 secs !

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?
Thanks for Feedback

Long delay when logging in Network User

Hello,
We are running into a weird problem.
We have an XServe G5 2.0 GHz DP with 5 GB RAM, providing multiple services to a small school.
The Users have Network-based accounts, and are authenticated via OD on the same server.
Lately, Users have started experiencing a very long delay when logging in.
At the login prompt, if they input the wrong password, they get "the shake" right away, which indicates that the authentication speed is rather fast. If they do input the right credentials, nothing happens for 25 - 30 seconds, and then login proceeds as usual, fairly quickly. The machines are normally responsive from there on, i.e. it is not a network performance issue. Also, even if no one is on the server, the first one to log in runs into the same issue, i.e. it is not a server overload issue. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Any suggestions for a solution will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Alain Chammas

Hi
This could be down to a time sync issue. Are Server and Clients all using the same Network Time Server? Do you see a similar delay when presenting the login window displaying a list of network users? If you did not know this is a computer list mananged preference. Anything unusual in the system.log?
Hope this helps, Tony

Error when opening a webpage

i just bought this macbook and i started having trouble when opening some webpages, the status bar shows that a certain number of errors have occured when opening the page.
It happens specially in all the profiles and main pages of myspace.com, so most of the pics in the page are not loaded, nor the audio, nor videos

I trashed a little program called iStumbler that was recommended on the Apple web site for security. Now my wifi is back to normal. Perhaps the settings in iStumbler were confusing things.

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try. I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

Hello jodifromahwatukee,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
From what I understand, it sounds like Safari is not loading a single page or multiple webpages correctly and it is trying to reload the content. In this situation, there are a few different steps that I would recommend.
First, I would recommend clearing your history and website data as described in the attached article.
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Nest, after the data has been cleared, I would recommend closing Safari completely as described in the next attached article.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
After Safari has been closed, reset your iPhone. After the reset, open Safari fresh and use it as you normally would. If the issue continues, please let me know.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.

Photoshop CS3 is now closing when I attempt to save any file on our network.
This has been occuring for the past few months. I have 8 years with this not happening on this machine and this network. I now have to save to my desktop, then move the file to the correct folder, re-open it and work from there. Any ideas to fix this??

Hi Andy,
This workflow might be working for you however it is not the ideal or correct workflow.
Please refer to below article.

Photoshop is not supported while working with network drives. I would recommend an external or a local drive instead.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

Bridge CS4 has LONG delay in opening the first image

Photoshop CS4 upgrade was my Christmas present this year. I've been fighting this annoying "problem" ever since then...
I DO see this "problem" on my desktop PC, which is a Dell XPS-400 PC (with 2 GB of memory) running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) with SP3 installed. I DO NOT see this "problem" on my laptop, which is a Dell XPS-1530 (4 GB of memory) running Windows Vista SP1. I installed the Photoshop CS4 software exactly the same way on both machines, and I have the preferences set the same in both Photoshop and Bridge (and Camera Raw) on both machines.
Here's the situation: I first open Photoshop CS4 and then click on the Bridge icon in the Application Bar to open Bridge. When I use Bridge to open a photo, by either double-clicking the thumbnail, or right-clicking on the thumbnail and choose "Open" from the context menu, there is a 42 second delay before Photoshop opens the file. This long delay only occurs when opening the very first file.
Once that first image file is opened, double-clicking any thumbnail in Bridge will have it open in Photoshop CS4 in about 2 seconds. There will never be another long delay in having Bridge pass a file to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) again - until I close the applications and restart them. Once I restart the applications, the first photo takes 42 seconds to open....
This delay does not occur in opening the first image file if I right-click on the thumbnail in Bridge CS4 and choose "Open With" and manually choose Photoshop CS4.
Even if that is how I open the first (or several) image file(s), the first time I try to open a file from Bridge by double-clicking on a thumbnail (or right-click on a thumbnail and choose "Open") there will be that annoying 42 second delay before it opens.
It does not matter what the file format the first image file is (JPG, PSD, TIFF, or DNG), or what the file format of any subsequent image file is. As long as I do not close the Bridge and Photoshop applications, any subsequent file will be passed from Bridge to Photoshop in only a couple of seconds.
I have manually set the File Name Extensions in Windows XP, and in the Preferences in Bridge. Both have been set to open the file types listed above with Photoshop CS4.
I have uninstalled CS4, and have used two seperate Registry cleaners (CCleaner and jv16 Power Tools) before re-installing Photoshop CS4. This had no effect on this situation. I've run "chkdsk C: /r" several times, with no problems reported.
I have been searching through these forums for over 2 weeks now, and I have not seen anyone else report such a problem. I use my XP desktop much more than my Vista laptop, so I'd really like to fix this situation, but I don't know what else to try.
Gregg Mack

Don,
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried them all, but the problem remains exactly as it was. To properly document my efforts:
In Bridge's Preferences, I Purged and Compacted the Bridge Cache, then changed it's location to D:\Bridge_Cache (D:\ is a second physical internal SATA drive).
I can not tell the exact size the Cache is set to, but the slider in Bridge's Preference is very close to the left end (10,000) of the slider.
The Windows Page File is set to 3072 MB min and 4096 max, and it is entirely on the D:\ drive. (I have 2GB of physical RAM in the PC.)
I defragmented the C:\ drive using Diskeeper 2008 Pro Premier, and even ran a Boot Time Defrag.
Rather than set some exclusions for Norton Anti-Virus, I jsut disbled that Virus checking program for all of my experiments.
I deleted the Bridge Preference File by holding down the Ctrl key as Bridge was restarted.
I even deleted the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. I then rebooted the PC - twice. I then re-disabled Norton Anti-Virus.
The PC is approaching 3 years of age, but it is a 3.2 GHz Pentium D machine with 2 GB of RAM and two internal SATA drives. Every other application that I run on this machine responds reponsively. Again it is only the FIRST image file that I have Bridge hand off to Photoshop (or Camera Raw) that takes forever. The second and subsequent image files take a second or two.... That doesn't sound like it's an "old hardware" problem to me.
I'm willing to try anything else that you, or anyone else would like to suggest.
Thanks
Gregg Mack

Long pause when opening PDFs - v10.1.3 Win 7 64bit

Hi all, when opening any PDF, most of the time I seem to get a long pause in Adobe Reader straight after the PDF document has loaded (around 10 to 20 seconds or so). This has only recently started happening. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, SP1, 8GB RAM, Intel Core i5 3.30GHz and a 256GB SSD drive.
Re-installing Adobe Reader hasn't helped, but are there some other suggestions I could try? Thanks for any help.

A good possibility is that the latest version of Photoshop is demanding things of your display driver that it hasn't been asked to do before. Display driver updates do solve a LOT of issues... I suggest you visit the web site of the maker of your video card and see if they offer an updated display driver you can download and install.
Your mention of the type tool issues implies a possibly corrupted or badly formed font. Chris Cox just the other day shared a neat link to a handy font troubleshooting page... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84363.html
Lastly, it never hurts to set all Photoshop preferences back to defaults and then reconfigure only the things you know you need to change... Do this by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt when cold-starting Photoshop. You have to be very quick, and if you're quick enough Photoshop will prompt you to confirm the deletion of the current preferences.
Good luck!
-Noel
P.S., At the moment, on my system Photoshop CS5 seems very stable. I had some periods of instability, and display driver updates from ATI seem to have solved that completely. Currently I'm using Catalyst 11.9, which may be interesting to you if you're using an ATI card.

Long delay when sending normal text message

Whenever I send a standard message, there is always a long delay (8 secs) before it sends. I know it is not aol because it is all the time. I am running 10.5.1 on my macbook with iChat 4. I have tried reinstalling ichat including removing all pref files. Still no luck. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)

Long Delay When Print Commands Sent To HP Wireless Officejet

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 connected via a wireless connection to my home LAN. I have a late 2009 iMac (ethernet connection) running the latest release of Snow Leopard. Both the HP printer device and scanner device show up as installed in the Print & Fax settings of preferences with full functionality and they both work. The printer is normally idle (in sleep mode) until one sends a command. Any print command sent from any Mac OS X application to the device takes about 40 seconds to wake up the device if it is idle. Print commands sent from Windows XP applications running via a bootcamp partition wake up the printer instantly. Print commands sent from any other Windows OS based computer connected wirelessly on the LAN also wake the HP instantly.
I would appreciate any ideas as to why there is this delay when printing from Snow Leopard.

I installed from the HP CD that came with the Officejet. It says MAC OS X v104, v10.5, Version 9.8.0 (I assume this is the HP version) and then updated to the 2/11 Apple HP Driver update. So I appear to have followed your advice.
Note that Print & Fax preferences shows 2 devices for the Officejet. One is the printer and the other device is the fax. The printer has both printer and scan tabs. The fax does work as I just tried it. When I open the printer utility for the printer from within preferences, two devices are listed: The printer (green) and I can access the settings. The Fax identifed in its name as being at teh same ip address, but is is in red and the settings can not be accessed.
I opened the embedded web server to look at all the settings. I'm using DHCP.
Here is what I found under Networking:
Host name is correct.
Proxy setting are blank, which is correct.
Network Protocols are set to Both IPv4 and IPv6
Under Wireless: IPv4 Addressing is set to Automatic IP & Automatic DNS Server. IPv6 is empty. The Advanced settings are all under Infrastructure and correct. Ad Hoc settings are blank. Compatibility has the 2nd item checked that says in an Ad Hoc network use 811.b behavior.
Anything else that may be helpful

Mail keeps quitting when opening message using Mavericks - any solution

Using MacBook Pro 2010, installed Mavericks, opened Mail. When opening messages, Mail quits. Is my problem unique - is there any fix?

This worked for me:
* open Internet Accounts in System Preferences;
* inactivate all accounts that are linked to Mail
(as soon as I had inactivated my @me account, Mail opened but wasn't responsive, eating up lots of CPU)
* open Mail - should work now, just without any accounts
* go to mail preferences and activate each account one by one
(it seems as if Mail cranks up CPU usage after each activation, but it calms down after a few moments)
Now Mail works again perfectly.
Hope that helps others too!

Long delay when loading shell

we have 2 test servers here we are using for one of our clients. In theory, both are configured the same, but we are experiencing a long delay (2 or 3 minutes) when login on to the machine.
We get the delay when the shell is attempting to load. We get this issue if we login via ssh or if we do su - difuser.
su difuser does not cause the delay.
I've read about commenting out /usr/sbin/quota in /etc/profile, but that's not really an option for us.

We found the issue and why un-commenting quota fixed it.
We had a dead NFS mount. When the quota engin tried to check the quota on it, it would take forever to fail.

Long delay when trying to save print as PDF

For some reason, there is a long delay, usually up to five minutes, before the system will allow me to save a print as a PDF. I ran disk utility and no issues arose. Anyone know why this is happening?

HI,
Make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
