My macbook pro loading web  slow or not at all  what can I do???

My mac book pro will not load pages--   how can I fix either will not load or is  way to slow??? HELP!!

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
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.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

    I would recommend running Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and Repairing Disk Permissions. Please run this at least 2x. It that doesn't help then post back, there are many other things to try.

    You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
    Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
    I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
    Good luck,

  • Why is my Macbook pro now extremely slow and not running things like powerpoint any more?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one.
    Mavericks installed. Now my Macbook Pro is slower than a one-legged tortoise.
    It won't run powerpoint, which just crashes. en my keyboard misses the first part of sentences because it can't keep up. I have to double check everything I type. I'm trying to run a business, and I'm losing time, money and the will to live.
    I cannot reinstall microsoft office, as I bought my macbook Pro (2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3) from a seller who cleanly installed Mountain lion for me, and installed Office 11 on it. I do not have any installation disks. I have been forced to downgrade to Mountain Lion, which I'm still waiting for Apple to send to me.
    Is there anyone out there who can give me any help. I'm not paying Apple any more money. Why should I? I've already been forced to rebuy an operating system that my Macbook previously had installed. 
    Not only that, I think I have an expanding battery issue, and my trackpad is now broken. Just to add to my woes.
    Has anyone had a solution to solving the Mavericks debacle?
    Please somebody, help.
    Please.
    Before I start self harming.

    Hi all;
    I agree with stobston,  many thanks to cbs20 for your inputs.  I was stuck with this one also.   I'm a former UNIX sysadmin; thanks so much for pointer to etrecheck.  It's nice to be able to look under the hood.
    I had the same problem, Powerpoint was so slow as to be nearly useless.  Apparently different cause&effect from stobston's case.  Here's what worked for me.  Sorry if I'm stating the obvious below; I'm new to MacOS after many years on MS-Windows;
    First, I ran etrecheck and got the following;

    Note that I had no heavy CPU processes like stobston had.  There are some processes using lots of memory  though.  Made me wonder, could it be  a swap or contention issue?  I have a Macbook Air, so 'swapping' doesn't mean what it used to mean.  Anyway, I tried closing Excel and Finder.  Powerpoint was still slow.   I ran etrechek again.  WebProcess and mds are still running at the same memory usage; nearly half a gig between them.  WebProcess is Safari; shutting down Safari didn't help.   I have heard that Safari has had memory leaks, I don't know if that's true or not.  mds is the MetaData Server for SpotLight. I had run Spotlight several times today, and also did a lot of desktop cleanup.   That might have triggered mds.
    I don't know how well Mountain Lion reclaims memory ( now I'm really getting into the weeds ), so I shut down  MacOS  and restarted it.  This time, I started up PowerPoint first, with nothing else running.  Problem solved.  PPT is running fine.
    Thanks again all for your inputs.  An hour ago, I had no idea where to start.

  • HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

    LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
    Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
    However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
    Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
    Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/

  • My optical drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 series is not working all the time.

    I have a Macbook Pro mid 2009 series and just recently my optical drive is not working all the time. At times it decides to not spin a disk that has been inserted in the drive. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and this is one of the very few things i have to distract me from the day to day haul. This is something that just started to happen and its very fustrating since i have limited support for this.

    Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
    Go to your OS Help Menu.  In the search field type dvd
    Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to  your issue.
    You can also do the same in Disk Utility.  Open same up.
    At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
    This will bring up the Help Menu.

  • Why is my (old) macbook pro so very slow and not able to receive gmail?

    It seems to have given up.  I have deleted spam, old messages etc.  Any other ideas to speed it up?
    Very slow to start up, seems unable to think...does that mean it is out of RAM?  How would I check that?
    Thanks for any help

    Try removing Dropbox from your startup items. Go to System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click your name and choose login items. You can remove it there. That won't delete it from your machine, just stop it from loading automatically. Reboot and see if that helps.
    I'm not sure what "store monitor" is. I don't think that's for the App store, as I don't have it running on my machine. See if that loads from Login items while you're in there.

  • On macbook pro photoshop is slow and not working.  In activity monitor I get switchboard nor responding

    photoshop bridge on my 3 year old mac pro has become inoperable.  In activity monitor is is using 180+ percent of CPU.  I also get switchboard not operating.  I deleted all of photoshop and bridge and reloaded them.  Same problem.  Does anyone know a solution.  Setting up a new user account has been suggested.
    Thank you

    Hi @Tom,
    Thanks for your response.  "Camera Uploads" is a folder in which Dropbox deposits all my photos and movie clips from my cameras.  It is a rather enormous folder likely exceeding several gigs of media.
    The file path is
    /Users/bpg/Dropbox/Camera Uploads/
    I really don't know the difference between "media" and "events".  I consider media a group or bunch of photos and movie clips.  I consider "events" a specific bucket or container of photos and movie clips.  If I should know more, a reference to documentation or an explanation of the difference would receive "This helped me."  If you could explain how to get FCPX working again (it just won't do anything beyond the splash screen), I will provide "This solved my question."
    Thanks for your help!

  • App store loading VERY slow or not at all

    Hello.. I hope someone here can help me. Since i upgraded to ios 4 i have been having problems with the app store. It either takes 5 to 15 mins to load then another 5 to 15 mins to update or download an app or it doesn't load at all and kicks me back out to the main screen. seems to be only happening with app store. I have updated to the newest ios, done the soft reset, restored it in iTunes, changed my dns server and just about everything else i can think of as well as everything i have found on the internet. Any1 else having this problem or heard of it ? Or any1 know how i can fix it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I was using iOS 4.1 on my iP4 since last Oct., apart from the sporatic wifi connectivity issue, all was well.  The wifi issue kept persisting and nothing I did fixed it (did all the standard troubleshooting...again).  Apple Care said I had to update to (at the time) 4.3.3 before they could help me.  So I did, didn't help any, but I also noticed how certain things I did was lagging. ie. flipping through the screens, launching and quitting of apps, and yes, accessing the App Store.  Everything was taking about 3-4 second longer.  .  Apple Genius noticed the connection issue as well as the lags, so gave me a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3.  Lags are still there, and App Store is very slow.
    As the OP mentioned, it would take forever to just load up pages, when you go to update your apps, you hit Update All, it looks like your phone just froze on you.  You can't do anything but hit the home key and go out of the App, and try again, but you still run into the same issue.  But if you leave it for about 30-40 sec, it will eventually continue.  Or boot you out of the App Store and you have to start all over again.  Been like this since June, everytime I go to the App Store.  Could be first thing in the morning to 3am, makes no difference what time you go on, it always lags.  Does it both on wifi and 3G.  Note though, accessing the internet on the iPhone isn't laggy.  I would have thought about updating to 4.3.5, but heard that didn't resolve anything.  And since iOS 5 is around the corner as with the iPhone 5, I'm just grinning and bearing.  As what a lot of iPhone users have been doing as of late.  I really do hope that the transition to iOS 5 goes much, much smoother than it did for iOS 4.

  • My home videos will either load slow or not at all. what is best format to use. all mine are mp4

    after updating itunes all my home movies seem to struggle to load which are in my itunes. i am not sure if this because of the amount of home movie i have but they are all store in a thunderbolt drive through my imac.
    this all seems to have happened during the last update or is it because of something else
    do i need to convert all my media from mp4 to a apple tv friendly format?

    What sort of bitrate are your movies. They are in the right format, but they may just be too large, 10 Mbps or less should be your target.

  • Macbook Pro 15inch Volume, brightness keys not working (All the special F keys)

    Hello,
    I have this problem on my MBP where my Fn (Function Keys) on the top row of my keyboard don't work properly. I use these keys all the time to adjust brightness, keyboard LED brightness, pause, play and volume but they aren't working anymore. When I press F12 it shows the dashboard. I already have the 'Use all F1, F2 ect. keys as standard function keys' unchecked in System preferences, Keyboard. I am on a bootcamped MBP but mainly use the Mac OSX. This problem is occuring on Mac OSX not Windows. I have not dropped my MBP to damage it or anything like that. I have installed 16GB Ram and the Seagate Momentus 750GB Hybrid SSD a few months ago. Anyone know how I can fix this?
    Any help will be extremly appreciated!
    - Kieran/Paul

    Check the setting in Keyboard, Keyboard Tab, that the "Use all F1, F2, ect. keys as standard function keys" isn't checked.
