Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins:  ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

    Why did you wipe the drive?
    Were you having problems?
    If you were those problem may be related to a failing hard drive and that is why the TM backup could be restored.
    In you topic header you say the system won't boot from the SL DVD, But it di for you to wipe the drive. Then it should again boot from the SL DVD.
    Insert the DVD and reboot, hold down the Option key and select the Optical drive, SL DVD, as the Boot source.

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • Cut and paste operation in Hyperion Planning is slower than normal web page

    We understand the web form under Hyperion Planning has many useful functions built-in but we also encountered some user complains that the operation inside the web form is relatively slower than normal web page. When user cut and paste 20 to 50 cells content, they need to wait 1 to 5 seconds on the "copy" function.
    Any workaround can be implemented to improved the user experience? We have asked Oracle whether we can disable the SQL statement behind but no firm reply yet.
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi,
    It has always been a bit of an issue, they supposely resolved in it earlier releases though I am not sure how much there really did resolve it.
    It is down to the amount of Javascript that is used in the web forms and how much rendering and validation it has to go through.
    The spec of client machines sometimes can have performance impact.
    One route is to use smart view to enter data into forms, as it is excel based it should be much quicker to cut/copy and paste.

    John, thanks for your advice.
    Yes SmartView should improve the operational speed. However as not all of our users are using SmartView we are looking for some ways to improve the web form speed.

    First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.

  • Safari-slow in loading web pages and getting beach all effect quite often today, have checked Internet connection is ok

    Hi, I am having problems with Safari loading web pages as I am getting beach ball effect quite often today.  I have checked that the Internet connection is good, I have also removed webpages in history.  Can anyone give me advice please as I am fairly new to iMacs and not young?

    1. Reset Safari.
       Click Safari in the menu bar.
       From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
       Uncheck the box next to  " Remove saved names and passwords".
      Click  "Reset" button
    2. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    3. Turn off Extensions, if any temperorily.
        Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Try Safari again.

  • Mac seems slow to load  web pages and email since mavericks upgrade

    Since upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks on my iMac, web pages seem a lot slower to load on screen. Also, when I open my mail inbox, the mail content (wording) takes a long time before appearing on the right hand side, then followed a little later with the display content. I have synchronised all my mail accounts and also emptied my cache in the safari browser, but this has not resolved the problem.

    Go to Applications (you can do this by clicking on the desktop and hitting cmd-shift-A). Within the Utilities folder you should see a program called Terminal. Launch this program, which should just be a window that you can type into. Type the following (or just copy and paste into the window) and hit return:
         networksetup -setv6off Wi-fi
    Then go back to Network Preferences and verify that IPv6 is set to off. If that doesn't help, enter these two commands in succession:
         cd /Library/Preferences/
         sudo mv com.apple.security-common.plist ~/Desktop/
    Note that this moves a configuration file onto your desktop. If that doesn't fix things you may want to put it back:
         cd /Library/Preferences/
         sudo mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.security-common.plist .
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    Try Safari maintenance.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

  • Mac running slow - Not loading web pages

    Something is wrong with my Mac. Out of the blue, over the last few days, it is running extremely slow.  Web pages won't load or if they finally do it takes forever.  The little spin wheel just keeps going. Sometimes a page will load after a very long time but as I scroll down, only part of the page is there and the rest never loads.  I'm on a wireless connection.  My husbands PC and my iPad are working just fine so it's not the connection.  Any thoughts on what is wrong and how to fix it?  Have not made any changes to my computer.  No new software, updates, etc.

    You are using Safari to surf the web?
    If so, try emptying the cache more often ..
    Command + Option + E
    Then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Safari is hanging. Too slow to load web pages!

    I was wondering if someone can help?
    I have OS X 10.4.7 and when I enter a web address,
    Safari starts loading for the first second than hangs.
    Wont load. Its like its stuck. Then I stop the loading process then hit return , and it loads fully - no problem.
    So I have to re-highlite the url address then hit return.
    So Safari by itself is not loading the pages. It needs a little helping hand. Why is this? It used to before.
    Maybe is it because I got D-link wireless router in the chain now?.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks / Alexis

    Hello Alexis:
    There is a separate Safari forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=169
    In that forum, there are a number of people who can, I think, help resolve your problem.
    For openers, clear the Safari cache and trash the preference file (com.apple.safai.plist).
    The wireless configuration could be an issue, but it is hard to tell at this point. You could eliminate tthe router temporarily to see if that is an issue.

  • Safari 8.0.4 Slow to load web pages on OS X 10.10.2

    Behavior started recently with the latest Safari update and makes Safari unusable. Google Chrome works great. I've tried all the suggestions from similar posts. Seems sad that the only workable solution is to use a different browser.
    Is Apple actively working on this problem?

    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.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • Why is my firefox slow to respond to every single mouse click and every typed word, slow to load web pages, and sometimes crashes?

    When I click on things, it takes forever before firefox responds. When I'm typing emails or what not, I will type and the word will show up a few seconds later. Nothing is immediate anymore. Even when I try to use the scroll bar, it is slow to respond. Sometimes firefox clashes and it tells me that the plug-in container has stopped working.

    I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off  documents and data, and now it is back to normal.  Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

  • Firefox 7 is slow in loading web pages (over a minute and I give up, but I walked away and they eventually loaded) and IE loads them quickly. I tried all the help solutions with no change. I disabled Norton with no change. I am running Windows 7.

    When I restarted in safe mode, everything worked fine, so I disabled add-ons and plug-ins one at a time but couldn't find any of them that were causing the problem.

    I had the same problem and found the solution [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=11309303#p11309303 here] here
    The solution involved going to about:config and changing "network.http.max-connections" line value from 256 to 48
