Macbook Air slow in opening pages

macbookAir slow in opening pages

Where abouts?
The actual app Pages or web pages?
might be worth checking your DNS settings in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP(DNS) and making sure they're correct, or you could manually put in google's own 8.8.8.8 (primary) 8.8.4.4 (Secondary)
and seeing if that makes a difference.
Could try clearing your cookies/history/saved stuff in whatever browser you're using.
if all that fails, try flushing your cache.
Open Terminal (Applications > utilities > Terminal.app ) and type in:
dscacheutil -flushcache
hit return and maybe even try a reboot.
the other option is, you just have slow internet?
if it's pages.app, it's a case of how old is your machine? how much ram? if your hard drive ok? does it meet the system requirements?
Hope this helps!

Why is the macbook so slow at opening pages on the internet ?, Why is the macbook so slow at opening pages on the internet ?

Just got my Macbook this week and was looking forward to the "lightening" fast MAc I had heard of. It is not so ! My old PC wa faster an cost about a quarter of the price !! Am I doing something wrong ?

How much RAM do you have? Is it maxed out? MBP faster when not on the net?
Which browser & version are you using? Could be a browser you're having?
Update your OS. Your system profile confirms you are still using OS 10.8. Use the App Store to see if there is any other software you need to install.
MBP slow wireless and/or through ethernet?
Any devices connected to your MBP?
Remember, you are still under warranty. Take full advantage of it before you lose it!
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

Cheers

Hi,
I have been having similar problems as you. These problems began to raise its ugly head about a month or so ago.
I have found that using add to iCloud is not working. Constantly sticks at sending info and things work when I stop process then select update match. I have opted to use update option immediately after adding new tracks and seems to work most times.
However, I have been encountering problems recently when the process sticks with a few tracks still outstanding. I believe the problem occurs when the process has been interrupted and the tracks have partially been processed. To correct this problem, I have to open another library where I can see the music that's been matched or uploaded. The tracks causing the problem are greyed out. I delete those tracks and go back to my main library where the I cloud status is shown as "removed". I had previously tried to delete those tracks from my main library and readd them but this did not work because of the partially processed tracks.
I have previously been able to resolve most issues by holding shift (PC) / option key (Mac) whilst turning off match then turning back on. Unfortunately I seem to be using this option more frequently recently.

MacBook Air can not open any pages in internet.

Hello, my new MacBook Air (just bought it) can not open any pages in internet. In >System preferences > Network it says that Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet But Skype is working very OK on it at the same time... HELP... Also my old MacBook is working OK.

Be patient and wait for someone to reply. This is a user to user forum, we are all volunteers. Another thing you can do is contact AppleCare or bring your machine into an Apple Store or AASP. Perhaps they will have some suggestions.

Pages Document created on Macbook Air cannot be opened on Ipad Mini. I get a message that reads, "only documents saved in pages '09 may be opened." These devices are one week old and I just downloaded Pages for each.

I just got a Macbook Air running 10.8.2 and an iPad Mini. I downloaded Pages for both. I created a document in pages on the MBair and tried to save it to the iPad Mini so I could work on it while commuting and the file does not show up on the mini. I have tried to saved the file through iTunes app page and the message keeps telling me I can only transfer files saved in Pages 09. What gives? I can transfer files made in Microsoft word no problem, but files made in the same program do not work. Any help?? Very frustrating.

You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.

Howdy.
Thanks for the replies. For what it's worth, a simple reboot, the first post install, resulted in a "i'm installing something" status bar (the grey screen with the dark grey status bar)" Now it's faster. So sorry about that - I guess I just wasn't done, although Apple maybe should have forced one more restart? Small thing.
In the new report below, there are still two [invalid?]. One is cardo - that's my headset for my motorcycle com. I don't know why it says it's invalid - it works, when I have it installed with a USB cord. The [invalid?] com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist is weird. I can't find a good article on what to do about that, but since it's not that slow anymore, maybe I'll downprioritize.
Thanks for your responses.
Here's the new report:

MacBook Air slow to reconnect with wifi

We just got a new 13" macbook air and it's very slow reconnecting to wifi when it's opened on and off during the day. Every other mac that we have is instantly or stays connected and we're off to the races when we need to email, etc. Shouldn't the AIR (latest model as of july 2013) work as well or better than all our older macs?

Hi, Richard.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting. The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

MacBook Air Slow On Internet

Why s my MacBook Air so very slow on the internet? I installed Google Chrome about 5 days ago but it seemed to slow the Mac down, so I uninstalled it by dragging to Trash. Finder assures me that it's no longer on my Mac. However, my Mac is slower than ever, to the point of almost being useless. Why is this? It is only about 1 month old.

Thanks for EtreCheck. Here is my report. What do I do?
It means nothing to me - I'm not good with computers.

Thanks a brod and Lex! Ok I did the stuff you suggested. I also tried uninstalling Java via terminal and according to Oracle it should be uninstalled but I'm not sure. Seems to be running much better but it generally does at the beginning after a restart I think. Here's my updated EtreCheck log:

MacBook Air slow since Yosemite update...

Hello everyone,
My relatively new MacBook Air (purchase just over a year ago) has become almost completely unresponsive and freezes when doing even the smallest of tasks - opening numbers and PDF documents, of checking mail. This seems to have happened since up updated the latest Yosemite and has made the computer almost unusable (having to write this on my windows laptop). Any suggestions? I read somewhere that there can be a problem with the new software and old programmes not working together?
Thanks!
Liam

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
- what was in bold appears in regular font
- what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
Can anybody help?
Thank you !
Isabel

Did you moved the folder
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
from the old machine to the new one ?
This folder contain a lot of required items.
Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

I hate macbook air. in keynote and pages -inversion colours. cannot change it.

in keynote and pages the project is viewed in inversion colours. cannot change it to show in origin. so, cannot create effective ppt or pages.
I use it on Macbook air. trial version. (i cannot buy it as i am a foreigner and work in China. no visa card and cannot open it as in china for foreigners they do not open).
i am really tired. already 3 days trying to create a normal ppt but its preview is shown in inversion colors. i tried to push every bottom and every option in the menu - no option to change preview on origin color style. as a result - no ppt and no pages. i start to hate macbook as i still keep dependent on my laptop with microsoft windows.
i took a trial version of iwork as i need to use excel, pages and ppt along for my work. realy hate macbook as it makes me limited.

I downloaded an instalation file of a trial version. found it in google. it looks like very official and has references on appstore along. I did not update Iwork as it didn't require any updates.
PS. yes, cannot use pages and keynote on my macbook air.

How did you install iWork?
Did you update iWork after you installed it? It is now at version 4.3 and it sounds like you have an older version, not updated for the Retina display.
Peter
PS You say you can't use this?

MacBook Air unresponsive after opening iTunes after upgrade to 11.1

I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to new version of iTunes, I believe it was 11.1 if that was what came out yesterday, and now the computer is unresponsive once I open iTunes. A sign in box for a premier networks podcast is displayed but I am unable to enter any information as it will not allow any input. The iTunes and apple menu cannot be accessed. The only way to regain control of the computer is to force quit iTunes. The podcast that the sign in box appears to be associated with is a PBS podcast that was deleted a very long time ago.

Hi mbharrison!
You may want to try reinstalling the application by following the instructions in this article:
