MacBook 2010 web browsing super slow!!?? Wireless Internet.

I purchased my MacBook in May, and at first everything worked fine, but lately the web browsing has been super slow with the page taking forever to load or just not loading whatsoever. The connection signal is strong and the internet is working fine as my computer downloads files at a good speed. I have an old PC laptop that the web browsing works fine on from the same connection so the problem must lie with my macbook. any ideas?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions,
You didn't mention which browser you are using so I assuming it's Safari...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. *These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down.* It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Check for duplicate or corrupted fonts, instructions here. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10389716-263.html?tag=mncol;title
Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps there. And go to /Library/Startup Items. Remove any files or apps there.
Quit Safari if it's open for this.
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari speeds up loading web pages, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

Very slow wireless internet when running on AC power

Since installing Leopard (and then updated to 10.5.5), I have been having really incredibly slow wireless internet access - however it is only like this when the AC power cable is plugged in. If I pull the power lead out and work on the battery, then the internet starts working again almost immediately. The airport signal isn't lost at any point, so I am a bit confused.
I have reset the PRAM, entered new DNS servers (opendns.org ones) and even set my RWIN lower as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670430 but with no noticeable result.
My macbook pro is 2.33ghz Core 2 duo. I'm using a Belkin n1 router with WEP encryption. The idea that the power supply would affect my wireless internet like this seems really bizarre. I would be grateful if anyone has any idea what could be going on here.

Well l.e.o, since no one else is taking a stab: check your System Preferences > Hardware > Energy Saver settings. See if Settings for Power Adapter, Optimization, is not set for "Better Performance." It may be set for "Better Energy Savings," and the settings for Battery are set to Optimized for Better Performance?

Slow Wireless Internet (BT homehub)

Hello, I have a problem with slow, wireless internet with the BT Broadband Homehub 2 (black). I am using a 1g Macbook 2 running 10.4.11.
A quick summary of my problem: Recently, there was a fault on my line that was affecting my phone and my broadband. BT quickly repaired the fault and reset the broadband as I complained about the speed. Connection monitors and speed tests all say that everything is running fine although I Firefox and Safari are loading pages extremely slowly; streaming of media is impossible and it sometimes times out before I can even send webmail. When I first got the connection it was lightning fast (so much so that friends commented on it when they came over). I have see that lots of people seem to be having this problem with Macbooks and I am 99.9% certain that the issue is a mac software/hardware issue. I have tried EVERYTHING that has been suggested in other threads
1.I have manually entered different recommended DNS figures
2. I have changed the wireless channels
3. I have manually entered the DNS figures supplied by the ISP
4. I have rebooted with default settings
Nothing seems to work. I'm a little bit out of my depth with this sort of thing but I have noticed that the IP address supplied by my router to airport settings doesn't correspond with the IP address in the
ISP info. I tried changing that but then I couldn't connect at all. Somebody must know what is going on here as I've seen this problem quoted on this and other forums. Is it a problem that apple are aware of? Somebody please help as this is very very frustrating.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Jocksil, and a warm welcome to the forums!
BDAqua, what does you psot mean?
No idea if it worked for the OP, some never return to tell us what happened.
My suggestion should speed up a lot of connections, and never hurt anything, but not sure what the mentioned problem was, but my suggestion won't likely help connecting in the first place, unless it really is connecting, not just getting anywhere once connected.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.254.3.183 behind the scenes.
Feel free to start a new topic to attract more helpers to your particular situation, here's a link if as is often the case, it's hard to find out where to do it...

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

My MacBook Pro is running SUPER slow. Any troubleshooting I could do at home before having to take it into an Apple dealer for a tune up?

My MacBook Pro is running SUPER slow. When I start up my computer it takes forever to load up, when I play World of Warcraft it is painfully slow with logging in etc. Everything about starting a program takes forever to load up and then once you are in the program everything is super slow. My husband's macbook pro is a 17 inch 2009 and works WAY better and faster then mine. Also, i don't know if this is a related problem, but the power drains VERY quickly. For example, If I have a MS OFFICE program on I could be at 100% hooked up to my power and then if I go off of my battery, the battery life will only last about 30 to 45 minutes MAX.
Here are the deets on my MacBook:
17-inch, Late 2011
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software OS X 10.9.3
Suggestions? Thanks!

Have a look here...
macworld.com/mac-troubleshooting-what-to-do-when-your -computer-is-too-slow.
Basically...
1) Make sure you have enough Free Hard Drive space for your Mac to Perform as expected...
Rule of thumb is about 15 to 20 GB
2) And adding more RAM is always a prudent move... (4GB of RAM is a minimum for Mavericks... 8GB at least would be better.)
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
Go to http://www.crucial.com
It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

I need an Ipad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system only uses internet explorer. Why is Atomic full version not available in the app store is there another browser that will do this

I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?

Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps.

2010 Macbook Pro is running SUPER slow. Almost unusable.

My 2010 Macbook Pro is running so slow that it's almost unusable due to the buffering of data and the color wheel spinning incessantly. I close applications, restart and nothing helps. I have not downloaded any clean up software. I teach and am dependent on my computer for EVERYTHING I do.
HELP PLEASE!!

Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Determine if the same problems exist in "Safe Mode". Read below.
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
If you are still experiencing problems more information will be required. If you don't know where to start, EtreCheck can help with that. Read below.

I don't understand my EtreCheck report. What can I do to improve the speed of my Macbook 2010, which became very slow after upgrading to Yosemite?

I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
I would like to add:
you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

Safari super slow. entire internet slow.

Ok... So i've owned my new macbook for about 2 months now. Within these 2 months I have been contected to the internet via my ethernet cable with verizons dsl.
The internet was at a good speed, but it always could be better, a little faster. Especially compared to my old HP laptop with Windows XP.
Well, a few days ago i bought a Belkin Wireless router so I can go wireless at home. I easily set this new device up and was online wirelessly. (i've owned a previous belkin wifi router before and had no problems.
Now... when im online wirelessly, the internet is super slow. sites like youtube.com take forever to load. the videos on that site only load to about 1/4th the entire length. other sites just take a while to load, like ebay.com---especially apple.com
so i decided to connect my ethernet cable again to my macbook and try that again. now even with the ethernet cable, my internet is still slow.
this needs to change. as im sure you can relate, when a problem occurs when dealing with your computer, it can drive you bonkers.
i would be calling applecare right now for help but its really late right now.
ALSO!
Ever since i set up the wifi, ichat has not been working properly. i'll sign on and remain signed on but according to all my friends, on their computers it states i have signed off. i'll even attempt to write to them, send it, but they dont receive it.
one last thing. im not sure if this is due to this whole internet/wireless/router/ethernet thing.... but.... some of my applications take a little while to open. not too long but is noticeable.
Thank You.

HI
My problem relates to this topic but I have an added aggrivation.
I connect via wi-fi...and have been for 9 months. When I turn on my Mac and open safari...all seems fine for the first 5 or 6 pages pages I navigate to but then it slows to a snails pace and then just stops.
It will then open the network diagnostics page and it ends up with me going through the routine and the messsage saying I am connected to the internet and that maybe I typed the incorrect internet address.
I am having to type this email from work as I cannot even get as far as the mac site on my MAC
(last night I took it to the MAC clinic and in the store it all seemed to function normally) the minute I got home same problem
I was advised to us camino as my preferred browser but when I tried to download it it was downloading at 2kp/s with a download time of 3 hrs....this seems archaic!
Please if anyone can offer some advice
Thanks
Gavin

Slow wireless internet

Ok, so i recently reinstalled my Windows 7 and im having wireless problems now which is didnt have before.
I now takes along time to load pages and my downloads are extremely slow (100KBps). . Im currently sitting on 4 bars which is normal but it is really frustrating because of how slow the internet is. I use the RealTek 8185 extensible 802.11b/g wireless device.My modem is MI424WR for Verizon FiOS.
So since i reinstalled windows i need to re-download my games. Some are downloading at 100KBs when usually its 8-10MBs. This is strange because my internet connection is normal as before the install besides the speed which is wht im trying to fix. When im browsing its slow aswell..infact it sometimes reaching 5 bars which is even better then normal..I have installed most of the windows updates. (been 3 days since i reinstalled)

MrsMark, I'm sorry to say, but you are grossly misinformed as to the nature of IP addressing and NAT as used in home routers.
It really does not matter if someone gets a hold of your external IP address when all it points to is the WAN-facing side of the router. At worst, all they can do is send a denial of service attack your way, but Verizon would block that. They can't figure out who you are or where you live, because Verizon will not release that information without a subpoena (and sometimes, not even then, as illustrated by their actions when the recording industry got thousands of subpoenas trying to identify "John Does" who they had seen sharing music online.)
Knowing internal IP addresses is useless because they simply cannot be seen from outside the home network. That is what routers do; they physically separate the internal network from the external network while still allowing limited communication between them. Besides, nearly everyone has an internal network with addresses in the 192.168.1.x range; that IP address range was specifically reserved for internal networks with no direct access to the Internet. There are only 255 addresses in that range; it would take seconds to ping all of them and find which ones have computers... assuming an attacker could even get inside the network, which they can't
(unless they drive up to your house and access the network over Wi-Fi or something... but if that happens, you're already in a world of trouble.)
If you were a "black hat hacker" and you had my IP address, you still wouldn't be able to track my actions online. You'd have to find a way to infiltrate Verizon's plant and install snooping software there if you wanted to do that. Good luck getting past the multiple levels of security.
To conclude, there is nothing in either of the OPs screenshots that is sensitive in any way. His external IP address is public information. His internal IP is worthless to any attacker (and if they were in a position to need such information, they wouldn't need him to post a screenshot to get it.) His MAC address is equally worthless; we already know he has an ActionTec router, and that's all the MAC address signifies.
In short, he has nothing to worry about from posting those shots, and frankly, it's disingenuous for you to claim otherwise.

Macbook pro just stopped connecting to wireless internet.

I have tried restarting it and deleting the old usernames and paswords, but nothing works. I thought it might be an internet problem but i am having the same problem at home and school.
Can anyone help me?

My macbook stopped connecting to wireless internet. Ive tried everything. HELP!
Open System Preferences then select the Network tab.
Cick Assist me... then click Diagnostics
If any of the buttons on the left are red click Continue.
That should help narrow down whether it's Wi-Fi or your settings or your ISP.
Might be something in this article you haven't tried yet > Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues

Slow wireless internet connection after 10.6.4 update

After the initial excitement switching from windows to mac, I'm now having a problem I can't figure out. This problem is mentioned many times in several forums, but I'am unable to find the proper solution.
After unpacking my new MacBook air last week everything worked simple, smooth an correct. Then an automatic update to OS X 10.6.4 was downloaded and installed. I'm having troubles with my wireless internet.
Airport seems to be functioning ok but most sites take ages to load. There's also problems with loading pictures, movies, dynamic contents, etc. Some sites function partially on Firefox, Safari seems to be hanging al the time.
Resetting router, starting MBA in safe mode didn't have any effect. On the ethernet connection the mac and internet is working as a dream. Other windows device also function normally. How do I get my wireless internet working properly??
Help!

I had exactly the same problem after updating my mac to 10.6.4. I did the usual and trawled the net but could not find a decent fix. It became very very frustrating so in the end I rang apple and luckily I spoke to a technician who had exactly the same problem with his machine. He explained it doesn't effect every mac for reasons I wont go into here but in order to fix this problem 100% guaranteed, you need to do a reformat and a reinstall. This should be done periodically anyway to keep your machine running in tip top condition. I wasn't happy to have to do it but in the end I'm glad I did.
For those who have not done this before see instructions below.
1. Back up your disk with time machine to an external HD
2. Boot from installation disk (holding down C)
3. After choosing english language select utilities from menu bar and select disk utilities.
4. Select your mac hard drive, erase, and in security options select "zero out disk" and erase.
5. Reinstall operating system with installation disk, when done update to 10.6.4 assuming that was the system you had installed when you backed up.
6. Reboot again holding C with installation disk, select utilities then restore option, choose your time machine backup and away you go. FIXED!
It takes a while but you will probably spend just as much time hunting the net for fixes that just wont work and anyway you end up with a clean install that will probably fix other little bugs you were unaware of.

Slow wireless internet connection using airport extreme

My wireless internet connection works but is very slow (<80kbs). The problem seems to be with the airport extreme (brand new, purchased in May 07) because my connection is very fast (>6mbs) when i connect by wire to the airport extreme base station. Signal strength is strong, so i can't figure out the problem. Any ideas?

BK37, I hope you've solved your problem by now. But if not, and for the benefit of others reading this post, let me share what I (finally) discovered when I had virtually the same problem, i.e. 8mbps wired speed, <50kbps wireless speed.
I tried literally <span style="font-style:italic;">every suggestion I could find in the Airport discussions. First, I can assure you that changing the channel can give you incremental speed improvements in some instances, but for radical drops like yours, it's not the answer. Nor is turning off ipv6, or changing to WEP, or turning off Remote Access, or moving the AEBS, or or or or or....
With such a radical drop in speed, it's most likely you have a hardware-related blockage somewhere. In my case it was my wiring configuration. My setup was France Telecom Livebox (ADSL modem / ethernet & 802.11g router) --> Ethernet cable --> Linksys RTP 3100 IP phone adapter / router --> Ethernet cable --> AEBS --> 3 Airport Express set up to extend network and run AirTunes. After eliminating every other possible problem, I narrowed it down to the Linksys router, which for reasons I have yet to figure out was trapping the speed to the AEBS. I ethernet cabled both the Linksys router and the AEBS directly to the Livebox and presto! Back to blazing speed.
Hopefully this info will be helpful to you or some poor soul in the same situation, as I would have loved to have had it myself before I pulled every hair out of my head!

N82 black - slow wireless internet connection

Hi
New to the group and just got N82 through Orange.
Really like the phone but disappointed with the wireless internet connecion - one of the features I was attracted to.
I have a Netgear wireless router connected to a cable modem, with a 2Mb cable internet connection. My laptop runs fine on this connecion.
My phone identifies and connects to the WLAN fine through the wizard (phones reports a 100% signal strength from the wireless router) however I get a few problems when trying to connect to the internet:
1) Very slow download of pages apart from the homepage (which I have changed to bbc.co.uk). Most of the time pages hang half way through.
2) Frequent "Internet timeouts".
As the router signal strength is very strong (I am trying this a few feet away from the router) and my laptop connects and downloads just fine I can only think that there is something with the phone that isn't quite right or a setting which needs adjusting.
My router has WPA2 security set up and I think my phone has the latest firmware (v. 20.0.062).
Can anyone help improve my internet experience with this phone?

let me know if it worked
Thanks very much, it seems to have made a difference. Pages that previously hung now load.
I was hoping to post this reply using my phone but the discussions site doesn't seem to work properly!
Thanks again for your help.
no probs
