My Mom's 2011 iMac is having issues loading web pages.

This past week my mother's iMac (2011) began having issues with the internet. She told me that whenever she ties to search for something on the internet, the reload bar in Safari constantly spins and takes forever to load (around 40 seconds).
We are using an Air Port Extreme router (2011 model), and my mom's iMac still has Snow Leopard (Mac OS X [10.6.8]) installed. The other computers in our house (a 2009 HP Touchsmart, a 2011 MacBook Pro, and a 2013 MacBook Pro) have no issue whatsoever. I recently had to restart the AirPort device in June due to issues, but it was fine for the last month up until Sunday, July 20th, 2014. The iMac is connected to the AirPort Wi-Fi network, but it's incredibly slow.
Is this problem happening because she hasn't updated her computer to OS X Mavericks?

Try rebooting the modem and router and her iMac. If that doesn't help create a new network location Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later)

Issues loading web pages on brand new machi after using migration assistant

ast week my old macbook pro died and i purchased a new 13" mbp. I brought it home the first day i bought it and just turned it on and started playing with it and the internet was blazing fast, no issues at all. I then brought it back to the apple store where they peformed a migration from my old hdd to my new macbook pro. I then took it back to my dorm and connected to the same exact internet and now i am having problems loading web pages. Sometimes the page will load on the first try (click) and other times it will hang there loading but never fully load the page, and if it does load somewhat certain things are missing from the page. So i have to click the link again, and again, and sometimes again for it to finally load correctly. I dont know what is wrong but i have a feeling it is files from my old system conflicting with new ones when it comes to loading web pages. Everything is up to date the OS and firefox and i am having the same issues in safari. Also my ipad and blackberry have no problem connecting to the wifi so that is not the issue. I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.

First place to look is your System Preferences/Network DNS Server Settings ...

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed a guest OS

I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
A summary of what I have tried:
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
- Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
- Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
- Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
- Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
- Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
- Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

I'm having issue loading a page in Safari.

I'm having an issue loading a page from a wesite in Safari. I only have this issue with this website. I can't figure this out. I have tried resetting Safari, emptying the cache, clearing the cookies, deleting the history, logging on as a guest and everything else I can think of. It worked once but now no matter what I do it won't load. I see the header and footer but all the content in the middle is gone. Any suggestions?

Hi.
Please reply with a link to the site so we can try it.
Also, Linc's advice to try another browser is not just a good idea if you have troubles accessing a site, but if Safari is giving you problems, you can use the other browser for downloading any necessary files to repair Safari.
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser

I'm using Firefox 3.6.23 on my windows 2000 and lately i've been having issues with web pages loading and need help figuring out why.

Some of the issues : '''1'''. Page loads blank showing web address in tab. Try reloading usually with no results.(problem have the most!) '''2'''. Message appears "problem loading page, server not found" (diff times & diff websites). '''3.''' Pg with msg "oops link broke, DNS error, server not found" then lists suggested links to sites for fix though all links connect to site IGEARED.COM. (new issue) I don't know what to do please help me identify and fix my issue(s) in english, kind of a newbie : ). thx

Try this.
Type in the address bar about:config.
Accept the warning.
In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections. Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
Close that page. Restart the browser.

I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.

If your still having problems, or anyone else......
For future info, your in the wrong forum, your need the MBP area, this is the MacPRO area, no big deal, I can barely keep up with the M & B & P, etc...
Sounds like when it migrated over your old settings it may have gotten corrupted? It has been known to work if you were to just make another "Location" and just re-enter the information again and sometimes that will help. You might take it back to the store and see if it does it on their connection also. The silly person should have tested it first before letting you go.
Hope you got it fixed...

I'm having issues loading Youtube on my MacBook Pro for about a week now. I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or internet but my sister's PC loads Youtube completely fine. Can someone help me figure this out?

Hi, I had been having the same problem for over a week, but both my window's HP and my 2011 macbook pro barely could load youtube. What kind of router you have? I was using a belkin play router that was only 8 months old, switched to a new AirPort Extreme Base Station and now everything works perfect.

Serious delay in loading web pages, not network, but safari issue

After my last software update, I am experiencing delays in loading web pages, 30sec-minutes on safari. This occurs rather frequently, I'd say about 20%-30% of the times I visit certain web pages.
One example web location I noticed this happening is (but its not the only one):
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/caqc0363
Once I visit this page, sometime it loads fine, other times it takes forever (the load indicator stays on in the tab). Also, once the delay occurs, opening up new widows or new tabs to ANY other address are also delayed. It seem like all of safari is stuck waiting for responses. (safari itself is still running ok, it is responsive and there is NO spinning wheel of death).
It is not a network issue. Often while waiting for safari to load, I launch firefox, visit the same page and read, meanwhile Safri still loading, even after trying to refresh...I also do other network tasks, ssh, ftp, email with no problem.

Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

HT201257 2011 iMac FCPX performance issues

Hello,
I have an issue that has been really causing a lot of problems with FCPX and my mid-2011 iMac. First, the specs.
Yosemite 10.10.3
Processor: 2.7 GHz intel Core i5
Memory: 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
FCPX 10.1.4
I have been having some sluggish behavior out of this iMac that seems to be a real issue when running FCPX. It's not all the time but when it hits, it's bad. Sometimes, I can be editing video and have little issue. Then other times, it really gets bad. When it happens, it is accompanied by some odd visual patters on all 3 of my monitors (see picture).
I have tried all sorts of performance enhancing measures over the past few months. I can't figure out what the problem is and it is steadily getting worse. Over the past few days, I have actually had complete system lock ups where I couldn't so anything but power the entire thing down and restart it. I would really appreciate any help.

FCPX is a strain on any processor/RAM/hard drive space. So, how much empty space do you have on your hard drive? I've been told that one needs - as a minimum - as much empty space as there are temp files in the project one is working on in order for it to be able to render without problems. I only use the older version of FCE and iMovie, but I can easily amass more than 100 GB of temp files while on a one hour HD project, so I keep an extraordinary amount of empty space on my hard drive.
Do you have any AV or so called "cleaning" utilities installed?
And what are the "performance enhancing" measures you've tried?

I'm having issues loading Facebook due to time out error.

I'm on 10.8.2 and using Safari 6.0.1. I've tried everything....clearing cache, resetting Safari...and yet I'm having this issue. Also tried Chrome, Firefox and Opera as well. Sigh.
I've got no issues loading Facebook on my iPad using the same WIFI network. So I'm really puzzled.

i was having the same problem, after a trying all options that genuis bar recommeneded it still didn't work, but what worked was a DFU restore, which was actually recommeneded by a specialist at the Yorkdale apple store, i can't believe all the genuises i spoke to didn't recommend that the first time around after all else had failed... but DFU restore worked for me...
good luck and hope it helped.
Shout out to the Yorkdale (Toronto) Apple store specialists!

Problem with iMacs loading web pages slowly after a power failure

We have 3 intel Macs (2 iMacs and a MB) on our network.
Today we had a power failure, and now we are having problems with both iMacs loading some web pages slowly (in Safari and Firefox both). I have shutdown and restarted both iMacs to no avail. As you will notice, I have not experienced any problems with my MB probably because the battery never allowed it to shut down completely.
Can you give me any indication of what the problem is or how I can go about troubleshooting this further?
Thank you in advance.

It does sound like it could be a WiFi issue. You can try rebooting your router and that might help. It just might your Internet connection or the router itself. If the router is bad, you can replace it. If its the Internet connection - you can only do what you ISP allows you to do.

Having trouble loading ASPX pages from one website, only in firefox, only on one computer.

I am having an issue where firefox will not load an aspx page, from one computer. It seems to work fine on everything else. I have disabled the virus scanner, firewall and web filter. It works fine on other browsers, on the same computer.
I've tried clearing the cookies, cache and offline storage. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and tried loading the page in firefox safe mode.
Any ideas?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />
