Safari 4 horribly slow

This is the opposite of an "upgrade." Safari 4 is loading pages much, much slower than before. Can we go back to the old one? WIll this speed up? Why launch it when it's not ready? Help?

Maybe a solution - I had same horrible times after downloading Safari 4 2 days ago.
After a) calling Apple Care - suggesting reloading my harddrive - yecch! and b) trying all solutions posted, I ended up at Apple Genius bar with a very simple solution that solved the problem:
REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS:
Directory = APPLICATIONS
Directory = UTILITIES
Application = DISK UTILITIES
<left side of screen> - select your hard drive
<on right side of screen, towards bottom> select "Repair Disk Permissions"

It appears from these forums that a lot of people are having the same problems wit this latest update.

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

    Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

    Do you get a notice that Safari has quit unexpectedly? If so, please do the following.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • 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.

    If you don't see it: View > Show bookmarks bar

  • Pacman is horribly slow to sync with Community.

    I've really had this problem ever since I started using Arch and I figured I was just screwing something up so I'm here to find out what.
    So of course I always run rankmirrors after a new install and currently my mirrors are.
    Server = http://archlinux.umflint.edu/$repo/os/x86_64
    Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/d … /os/x86_64
    Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
    Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
    And when I run a pacman -Syy (or just Sy) core and extra are almost instant, then it will hang on community for like 10-15 seconds (which seems like forever) and then will finally sync. Nothing else seems to be wrong, downloading packages from community is fast as I would expect. I'm on cable with a download of 1.5 MB/s and and upload of about 60 KB/s. This happens at my friends house, and at my work as well.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    NOTE: This also happens when using yaourt.

    XFS is horribly slow when dealing w/ many small files - you know that, don't you Godofgrunts?
    I too have this issue. I have an 8yo PATA HDD and even syncing extra after a longer break is slow. But I run pacman and in the meantime I check email, rss etc. so I'm fine.
    Edit: Here's one way to fix it http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8586
    Yes I know, but if you do a ls -1 | wc -l on extra, you'll see that there are 2441 directories and if you do it on community you'll see that there are only 1930. One would think that it would take a longer to sync extra (which literally takes like 2 seconds) than community.
    I'll try some of the other things listed here (pacman-cage has sparked my interest) and if that doesn't work, using a different file system for /var and see if that helps.

  • Safari 4 is slow.  Really. It is.

    The other line for this issue is marked answered but it really isn't. In that case the cause is Safari constantly dragged to a halt via the top site icons. In this case - this issue really is that Safari 4 is slow. Much slower than 3. And I am forced to run Firefox or Opera in its place.
    There is a tiny work-around to a single instance of extreme slowness - if you're in a loading loop and the icon just keeps spinning with no page - click on the loading icon and hit apple-return. Aborts the load and you'll be taken to your page.
    A work around isn't a fix, though. And the work-around doesn't always help. That's when I slip over to a new browser,

    this issue really is that Safari 4 is slow. Much slower than 3.
    For the vast majority of users the exact opposite is true: Safari 4 is even faster than Safari 4 beta or Safari 3.
    Try this:
    (First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives 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
    (An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
    If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
    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.

  • Calling EJB in JServer is horribly slow ..

    Hi!
    Beeing somewhat dissatisfied with the stabiblity of OAS I tried porting my application to Apache+JServ+Oracle 8.1.6.
    (Apache 1.3.12, JServ 1.1.2, BD JDK 1.2.2, 8i 8.1.6.1 all on Linux since I didn't want to wreck my OAS environment)
    I found out that I would have to rewrite parts of my EJB:s since 8i makes all beans stateful and forces use of EJB transaction handling if one wants to do any SQL querys. I do a stateless, transactionless design (other that the database manipulations that is) to avoid to much meddling by the container.
    I did a quick but not completely solid fix for it an managed to get everything working in the the new environment only to find that it was horribly slow.
    Calling an EJB method from a servlet takes about two seconds and calling an EJB method from another EJB takes about four seconds.
    all that time spent calling down into the EJB, logging just prior to a call and as the first thing in the method show this quite clearly.
    Something similar is going on when deploying beans to 8i, A small beans takes several minutes to deploy.
    This is on a PIII600 with 256MB of RAM and no apparent swapping going on. No errors of any kind in any logs except for the occasional "soft session limit exceeded" if the Jserver log.
    Anyone got an explanation ? Is it faster on Solaris or ????
    /Ulf

    Leslie,
    If both the applications containing the Client/JSPs and EJBs are deployed in the same OC4J container in different applications you donot have to use RMIInitialContextFactory and you can just use the default Context e.g. as follows as if both EJBs and servlets are in the same application.
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    You have to make the EJB application as parent for your appliaction containing web-tier i.e. JSPs as follows in the server.xml
    <application name=EJBApps path=ejb1.ear />
    <application name=WebtierApps path=web1.ear parent=EJBApps />
    regards
    Debu Panda
    Oracle
    Hi All,
    I write a jsp to call a EJB in a different Application deployed in OC4J 9.0.3.
    the source code is:
    <%
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "manager");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://mycomputer/employee");
    Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
    Object obj = ctx.lookup("HelloWorld");
    HelloWorldHome home =(HelloWorldHome)
    javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,HelloWorldHome.class);
    HelloWorld hello = home.create();
    out.println(hello.hello());
    %>
    And the error message:
    java.lang.ClassCastException
         at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
         at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
         at try.jspService(_try.java:67)
         [SRC:/try.jsp:15]
         at com.orionserver[Oracle9iAS (9.0.3.0.0) Containers for J2EE].http.OrionHttpJspPage.service(OrionHttpJspPage.java:56)
    But this code, I can run successfully in a Client java class.
    And if I put the jsp and the EJB in a same application, it is ok also.
    What's the problem?
    Please help me!

    You're going to have to be more specific and include some details.

  • Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites.  I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section.  That seems to work well.  Are there any risks?

    Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

  • Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

    Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

    I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
    Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

  • Why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?

    Hello. I am using MacBook Air. Safari is very slow and it doesn't open many websites. for instance: dizi-mag.com . please help me

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. 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?

  • Safari browser too slow

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Safari browser has slowed to a crawl and I see the spinning top all the time.
    What can I do to fix this ?

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

    Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?
