Pages 09 extremely slow

I have both the new Pages (5.5.2) and the old Pages (4.3) from iWork 09 installed. I am running 10.10.3.
In the past few weeks, I noticed that the save dialogue has become unbearably slow in expanded form. Sometimes, it may take up to 10 or 20 secs just to load a folder. It doesn't seem to matter how many items are currently in the folder. I tried 1 folder with 44 items, one with no files in it at all. So it's not a problem of rednering previews or anything like that. But in collapsed form, the save dialogue works much better.
I'm on a 2013 rMBP with SSD, so it's generally very speedy. The new Pages (5.2.2) is perfectly responsive in these cases. I tried verifying the disk and repair permissions to no avail.
And I just noticed this in the past few weeks, so I think it may have something to do with software, but am unsure of what exactly.

jaxjason,
I am not using a 'Category Function' I just assign my own categories to my bank account entries (such as 'Groceries', 'Car Insurance', etc.) My spreadsheet then sorts out the entries from files down loaded from the banks into summary tables by month and 'Category' using the following:
In version 08
=SUMIF('VISA - 2008' :: $datecat,CONCATENATE($MonthNum,$Category),'VISA - 2008' :: $Amount)
or in version 09
=SUMIF('VISA - 2008' :: $datecat,CONCATENATE($MonthNum,$Category),$Amount)
I am using an iMac 24 inch (Intel) with the latest OS X 10.5.6.
As I said it takes four times longer to open the file and it takes four times longer for the spreadsheet to calculate every 'Category' assignment I make. I have tried saving the file from the new version but that did not make any difference.
The spreadsheet consists of five 'Sheets' two containing the years transactions in our VISA and Checking account downloaded from the Banks Two 'Summary' Sheet one for Visa and one for Checking Account and a 'Final Summary' with three tables where the results from the VISA and Bank Accounts are finally collected into different forms.

Change tracking in Pages extremely slow

Anyone noticing an extremely laggy behavior when entering corrections in Pages 5 with Change Tracking turned on? I type in an entire sentence and then wait as it slowly appears one character at a time....

You should be able to go back to Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Trash or archive Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store.

Internet pages extremely slow to load.

When I tap the safari app, I get a completely white page. Internet pages take forever to load even with strong wifi. This began after installing ios 7.

Prof:
Please follow these detailed directions to clear history from Safair which will result in faster performance of your internet. Good luck!
How to clear web history from iOS 7 Safari
Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Scroll down and tap on Safari.
Scroll down and tap on Clear History.
How to clear cookies from iOS 7 Safari
Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Scroll down and tap on Safari.
Scroll down and tap on Clear Cookies and Data.
That's it. All the web data stored in Safari is now gone. Just be sure to repeat these steps each time you don't want your web history to be visible to anyone else.
Also, remember that if you don't want to have to clear out web pages each and every time you use the iPhone or iPad in question, simply enable private browsing before using Safari and none of your web history is saved until you disable it. It's probably a more realistic solution when using a shared device.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Hi,
>>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).
Ok, but on the other hands:

Extremely slow in every way. Typing, loading, moving and even just scrolling from the top of the page to the bottom. Keeps getting worse. Maddingly frustrating!!! Help!!

Firefox has gotten extremely slow. Typing, loading, searching, even just scrolling from the top of a page to the bottom. My daughter had the same thing happen to her and had to get her computer stripped down and completely reloaded. I don't have that option. It has no viruses and has been completely freed of all things that could slow it down.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a month ago. It is getting worse.

Hmm... try downloading the [http://www.firefox.com latest] version... but if that doesn't work then try [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Not sure what could be causing it...

Safari is extremely slow to load pages & saving my bookmarks to my folders

why is safari so extremely slow in loading pages? it can just about load my e-mail, if I wait about 5 minutes & I cannot check my t mobile cell phone balance because it gets stuck loading the page.
Also I cannot get it to save bookmarks into my designated named bookmark folders anymore, it only will save to the bookmarks bar

I have also heard about the cover flow feature, but I do not see it in my safari, where is it?
Look at this picture and you'll find it. Just click on the marked area/button.

Pages with JavaScript open extremely slow IE 10/Win 8

Few weeks ago, started noticing some pages opening extremely slow. Top 2 examples are nbcnews.com and oregonlive.com, with the commonality between the 2, lots of scripting (javascript). The sites don't allow me to scroll right away, takes about 20 seconds
before that's available. The content is slowly loading, takes about 2 minutes to fully load. I am noticing a loading wheel next to the mouse pointer that is going nuts, appearing to process a large amount of info.
I went through lots of different troubleshooting steps; below are some of the things I tried:
- Reset IE/clear cache/ temp files
- Ran disk optimization
- Ran Full antivirus scan, with computer coming up clean
- Logging in under another user
- Compatibility mode
- Trying the sites on another windows 8/ IE 10 computer on the same network-works just fine
- Installing chrome, same problem
- disabling scripts on pages from internet options, the sites load quick, but half of the content is missing.
The only thing I've done that seemed to have fixed the issue temporary is uninstalling and re-installing a cumulative update that MS released last month. The sites were loading quickly right of the bat, after the update was re-installed. Later though, it
ended up getting worse again. Also, I compared the results from the metric at (https://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html) and on the troubled computer, results show Total
of 575ms response time, while on another computer, it's 120ms response time.
Please advise if there is anything else I can (besides resetting the OS) to resolve the issue. Thanks!

Use the Developer Tools to find out where your delay is. FWIW the NBC one was noticeably slower opening than the other.

Pages on iPad2 is working extremely slow

Hi, I updated my iPad to iOS 8.1 but since then my Pages is working extremely slow, first in updating the new docs from iCloud Drive, then in being able to work in them. It takes about ten minutes just to get into one document. Can anybody give me a good suggestion in to solving this problem?

(Wow, really unethical, Apple took down my last post, so "rewording this more nicely" I guess)
Agreed. I honestly cannot begin to justify how irresponsible Apple has been over this. I have lost a computer tha may have been damaged by Yosemite, and lost some data through iWork and the apps are totally unusable for the most part. Two classes that require a presentation which I teach were impacted. This is threatening peoples' livelyhoods.
From what I have seen, this largely stems from problems with iCloud Drive. iWork apps crash CONSTANTLY and don't even function when there is an online connection, but turning off the functionality gives you a slight chance before he apps freeze, slow down, or become unusble again.
In the meantime, it seems Apple users are just stuck waiting till the next update. I couldn't even type this response without two crashes from Safari.

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages. It doesn't matter where I am, so I don' t think it is related to the wi-fi service.

Pages runs extremly slow

I am using a powerbook 17", 1.67 GHZ, 1.5 GB RAM with 10.4.2.
Pages is excellent but extremely slow. When placing a table or a graphis, it takes seconds for changing on letter. Same when moving a graphic on the side to her right place. Sometimes when clicking on a object to move it, we still have to wait 10 - 15 seconds.
We like pages and the great user interface. But the speed makes it impossible for using it in the whole company. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot
PS: all other programs are running fine and quick.

One of the things which is slowing pages down for you is the wrapping.
What I have done in the past, while making templlates, is to use the layout feature for the majority of the text flow if a page has a graph or large image in it. Rather than have the program wrap the text with the precious cycles on my 800Mhz G4 ibook, I preformat the text layout. If you are making a large number of pages in your documents where the graphic is in the same spot then try building a layout for the text and then placing the graphic, table or other element where the page is 'empty'.
A hint is to use the upper part of the page for your images and stuff. It iss easier to have the text start lower down the page since it can be a bit difficult dictatin where the text will stop on a page.
Another thing is if you have been using the program for a while, save the document. This will commit the version of the document to the hard drive instead of having the revisions and text sitting in memory. It's also a good habit to get into.

Verizon page is extremely slow

I upgraded my internet speed to 25/15. I have Fios DVR, many computers(wired and wireless) and wireless devices such as PSPs and ipods, and sometimes use my smartphone as a DVR remote. I don't have any problems, except for when I go to pay my bill every month. The VZ page is extremely slow, and to me is junky. The computer I use to pay my bill is a wired connection, and may be a little older, but the VZ page is the only page I have problems with. And PLEASE stop asking me to install the Google toolbar. I hate Google! Don't they know enough about me already? Why won't I update Google map on my phone? Look at the permissions! Other than that, great job! Fios, phone and internet is reliable, and don't give me any problems. But Google......c'mon!

Safari is Extremely slow loading pages, like Hotmail, eBay, CNN,

For the past few days, Safari has been extremely slow loading most all pages, especially Hotmail, eBay, CNN, etc. Apple support hasn't been able to help. Hve done all the normal stuff, Reset Safari, restarted, etc.... eventually reloaded Leopard, with all updates, 10.5.2. Still slow uploading pages. Have checked network with speedtest.net, Download 5019 kb/s, Upload 363 kb/s. Was told by everyone I asked, these were good speeds, "normal." But it takes 20 seconds - 60 seconds sometime to upload a page. Have watched "activity monitor" under network, "data sent" goes out fast, data received seems to come back but then stalls. I'm not sure of what numbers I should be getting on the return. Any suggestions????

READ my post, March 17, for answers. I read other post, March 15-08, by Toshinmac and March 17-08 post by Rudolf, answered by Hawaiian Starman and Klaus1. My problem decribed there, with Time-Warner/Roadrunner DNS settings. Followed advice... Problem Solved! Thanks to ALL for their input!!!! A Beachbum!

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.
