New Safari: Beautifull, Slow and Unstable.

I have problems with new Safari from the beginning.
After 10.0.1 update its almost unusable.
Especially on video streaming services like youtube: I must wat almost 20 seconds to hear the video sound. Videos doesn't start automaticly in the background, I have to make youtube tab active. Now I use Chrome it's great for Youtube. But I don't like web surfing on it.
Aby Fix?
Safari: V 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix?

The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix? It is very slow, e.g copy and paste from a browser.
iPhone 5 & iPad gen 4

I restarted my phone as suggested and it is still happening.
My phone just blacks out at its own will as if the battery went dead then the apple logo appears and it restarts on it's own but my battery was still at 30% when it restarted. So that made no sense. When I try to type in my password it freezes up before I can get all of the characters in. I still hear the clicks of my tapping on the keyboard but nothing is changing on the screen. When I hit the enter button on accident it vibrated to tell me my password was incorrect but still the screen was frozen with my previous entry of the first 5 characters on the screen.
I am becoming concerned that I may have a very expensive paperweight now.
My husband has the same phone and his is working fine after the initial reboot.

Very slow and unstable after update...

Hello!
After update yesterday, my Arch64 was very slow and unstable... Eclipse IDE crashes, Firefox uses +200mb and Xorg uses +15% of CPU. Xorg lags when I'm going to switch between virtual desktop in KDE... very strange!

There is an in-kernel driver in staging called rtl8192u. It received a lot of changes in v3.12. Maybe try v3.11 and see if that works?
it didnt work in kernel 3.12, but with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dkms-8192cu/ it worked perfect
in kernel 3.13 it is horrible both witht he stock driver or with the AUR package.

The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?

I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

IPad 1 getting slower and unstable

My iPad 1 is getting more and more slow and unstable. It has iOS 4.2.1 and I'm afraid to upgrade to iOS 5.1.1 because many says that it is too heavy for iPod 1. How can I restore to iOS 4.2 or, better, to 4.3?

No - Apple does not support downgrading.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
But frankly, I wold consider the upgrade. My son is currently using my old iPad first gen running 5.1.1. Works just fine.

Safari extremely slow and pages load with errors

Not sure if this is related to other Safari posts, but when I try to load a page from many sites, including this one, the speed is extremely slow and there are invariably errors reported on the bottom status bar. I'm on a new Mac Pro, and I haven't added any add-ons to Safari or changed system settings. My internet connection is DSL on ethernet, and there are no problems with email or on my old G4 using Explorer 5.1. At this point G4's Explorer is light years faster than Safari on this machine. I'm going to try Mozilla Firefox, but is there any hope for Safari?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hi Peggy
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try this to speed up Safari.
First, make sure you are not using Rosetta. Go to Safari's info panel (Application folder>Safari.app>Single click>Apple Key I). If Rosetta is selected, uncheck it.
Network Connection
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
- Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
- Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
- Back to the "Show" menu, depending on your connection select "Ethernet". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply".
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.

Why is Safari becoming slow and unresponsive?

Ok - I have exactly the same problem. I can run safari and use it. After a short while it becomes slow and unresponsive. When I quit I get the rainbow ball of death and the only way I can stop the application is to force quit.
It is definitely linked to a particular network account as the guest account check above shows that it runs fine on another account.
As I watch system memory in actvity monitor while I use safari the fhe following occurs:
1.     free memory gets gradually used up to about 50%
2.     Inactive memory gradually builds to about 50% of total
3.     Then page in and page outs build massively and the swap file goes into overdrive
I have 32GB memory on board but even so it doesn't take long for Safari to gobble it up.
At the same time CPU % shows 90-100% and Real Mem sits around 15-18GB.
By this stage the whole machine is slow and unresponsive as safari ***** up all its processor and memory resources.
I have taken the following action:
1.     reset safari using the reset process built into the app - no difference
2.     deleted the preferences file - no difference
3.     deleted the Library/cache file - no difference
Thought about resetting NVRAM but decided that it wouldn't make much difference because it seems to be linked to a user.
Any thoughts/suggestions on other actions I can take would be welcome.
Are there other cache or preference files that I should be trashing. Can I delete and reinstall safari? I don't really want to have to go through the process of establishing a new user and rebuilding a reasonably substantial docs and photo library and set up.
Help.

You forgot to mention what version of Safari you have, but:
If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The later versions of Flash 10.1 onwards appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:

Brand New Macbook Being Slow and Loud

Every time I start up my macbook pro it runs really slow and the fan is really loud. When I looked in the activity monitor it said kernel_task is using up 300 % of the CPU. What is kernel_task and is there a way to slow it down?

Is this BRAND NEW Mac? Or one you are calling Brand New (Big difference).
If it is Brand New, like you bought it yesterday or a few days ago take it back and get a full refund and buy another that works correctly right out of the box.
But I suspect it is a few weeks/months old, which makes it NOT brand new. So if that is the case then you need to reset the SMC and PRAM.
Do a google search for how to do that.

Brand new laptop: Incredibly slow and laggy.

Hi,
My mum received a brand new laptop on Saturday (this exact laptop) it hasnt been overly used as yet but the laptop seems very VERY slow. Browsers take a good while to open, sites like Facebook take ages to load - Farmville 2 for example takes an age to load and even when it does its very laggy.
Why is this band new laptop so slow? Nothing has been installed on it other than Firefox and the spec of the laptop seems pretty reasonable. Windows 8 is horrible but thats another issue.
Can anyone help or give any advice?

Do you open farmville from the laptop or from the internet? Have you checked the speed of your LAN or wireless?
Which are you using wireless or LAN NIC?
When you open application on the laptop is it slow?
Trying to determine if it is the connectivity is slow or if it is your laptop.
Also what version of AMD Catalyst are you using?
Here are some things you can do to make sure you are fully updated.
Make sure you have the most current .NET Framework 4.0
Make sure you have the most current DirectX 11.2
Make sure all of the other Microsoft Updates are complete as well. Missing Updates can cause issues.
Uninstall the AMD Catalyst you have now, before installing the Beta version.
I know most are trying to use the AMD Catalyst 13.9, which is used Windows 8 64-bit.
The AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver can be downloaded from either of these two links:
AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows®
AMD Mobility Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows

XGL/Beryl - Damn slow and unstable

Hi,
I know, Beryl is quite unstable, but seems it works for so many guys, why not for me?
I followed this instruction: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … hlight=xgl
I have a Radeon 9600 and get KDE to work with XGL actually, but when I try to configure Beryl, the manager is so damn slow. And also the speed in general is very slow and after a while it crashes completely.
I have a Centrino 1.5GHz. This is not enough for the cool effects??
Im using fglrx btw. This is important?
Sorry if I ask for stupid "unstable-support", but I really want to know if its a stability problem of the software or if I made a mistake in my configuration.
Thanks in advance...
EDIT: When I use XGL as a session on KDE-Startup, the screen is white only and my notebook crashes (mouse still works)

glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
beryl: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then I installed the mesa-package:
compiz: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No manageable screens found on display :0
The window decorations are not visible.

Safari Running Slower and Slower

Hello...No idea why, but Safari is running slower and slower lately for me on my MacBook Pro.
Any suggestions on how I may be able to troubleshoot this?
Thank you.

The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

IOS5 slow and unstable on iPhone 4

It feels like iOS 4 on the 3G all over again, but after installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) on Friday I've definitely noticed slowdowns in responsiveness and some application hangs. For example, the camera app hung several times and the Netflix app would often get stuck on buffering a new video until closed and re-opened. These all happened multiple times.
Oh well, time for the 4S I guess ;-)

Hey everyone, was the same for me until 2days ago. However I booked an appointment at a genius bar at the Sydney apple store and 20minutes later walked out a happy man. The first question staff asked was "did I download the iOS5 over wifi?" and I replied with a "yes!". She explained that for some reason they found that downloading over wifi corrupts some of the files and this is what causes the pain we've all been experiencing. Before going to apple I scoured the web for answers, but all suggestions about turning everything off was useless but restoring my iPhone 4 with a stable iOS5 from the Apple store fixed all of the above we've been complaining about! So solution go to your nearest apple store and get them to restore your device with the stable OS they have! A new restore atleast from the genius bar solved all battery, lag, apps shutting down etc etc problems! If you do go to the apple store make sure you back everything up before, even if you don't they'll offer to back-up, up to 5gb in the cloud, but this might not be enough for all. Make sure you advise you're friends who havent taken the leap yet to download via cable and NOT wi-fi!! Hope this solves everyone's woes like it did mine; good luck!

Safari incredibly slow and does not play videos

Hi - I am using Safari 8.0.3 on Yosemite 10.10.2. Most of web pages load incredibly slowly. The blue bar stops almost at 1/3.
I tried "Empty Caches" option after reading in the forum .. but it did not help improve the speed.
Now Safari even has stopped playing the your tube video. It loads a black box where the video frame display should be.
Any help in resolving these issues is highly appreciated.
PS - I am not sure why apple does not anything about safari... I have read so many posts about safari being slow.
Thanks is advance

Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found - Apple Support

I just downloaded the new Java update now Safari is slow and I'm getting the spinning beach ball of death.

Typing in Safari with the new Java update that I downloded today causes the spinning beach ball and slow loading of pages. As usual, Java is causing problems. Just once I would like to see things run without having to depend on Java.

24Golfer:
I think there's something more, because it keeps happening to me with the Finder where it says that it is not responding when I go to the Force Quit window.
Are you saying that the Finder is reported as not responding? If yes, try this:
Go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.finder.plist
Drag com.apple.finder.plist to desktop
Restart computer.
Monitor to see if anything changes, or Finder is still not responding.
Good luck.

Safari 5 extremely slow and unstable, feels like early beta

Hi,
since i upgraded to safari 5 the browser is extremely slow on loading webpages, unresponsive and often can't establish any connection to websites at all. one time it even crashed.
the whole thing feels like an early beta. i have no addons or what so ever installed, safari 4 worked incredibly well before.
since i've read many similar postings concerning this issue i hope apple will be offering a fix soon...!

I have the same problems! .. Some times I have no internet connection, but if I start up Firefox or google chrome, I get internet connection.
Often for no reason Safari stops responding .. It's a shame b/c it's extremely fast vs Firefox
Seems like I have to stick to Chrome until a update follows
btw. Nice job on the look and feel on the Safari 5 expecialy the combined history search in the address line looking forward to a stable release
