Safari 5-slow, pages wont load

i downloaded safari 5 today and ever since the pages are loading SUPER slow.
i deleted cookies & downloaded the 10.5.8 update combo (as suggested by a computer person).
some pages load ok, not as fast as they used to. some just wont load at all.
oh no. have i ruined my new prized possession? help or tips anyone? these discussion threads are discouraging so far.

HI,
Your forum profile indicates you are running v10.6.4 but you downloaded the v10.5.8 update? v10.6 is Snow Leopard, v10.5 is Leopard so I'm not sure exactly what you were trying to accomplish.
For Safari... From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If Safari still lags loading pages...
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If third party add-ons aren't the issue, repair disk permissions especially if you didn't do this after the Safari 5 update.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the "cache.db" file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
If nothing above has helped, login to another user account. Try Safari there. If pages are still slow to load, then the problem is system wide, not just isolated to your Home Folder.

Pages wont load, links become inactive

Hello, I have had this issue for a while and I have finally decided to ask for some help, usually I can find answers to my problems but am a bit stumped on this one.
My issue is this:
I do a search, right click link and open in new tab - works 80% of the time. ok other 20% page wont open just stuck. Whats interesting though is I have found if I refresh the google search page I can then open the link fine, - the first open page is still sitting there spinning around, sometimes when the link opens this will kick the first try into finding the site. Now it has been getting worse. Now links on web pages becoming inactive as in i click on the link and nothing happens, right click and it does not have open in new tab ect. Its as though the page has lost all of it connections to the internet. sometimes when i refresh the page after a link not working it will open the linked page? bizarre.
I have done a lot of research on this and have done things like clear the cache,
uninstalled and reinstalled firefox,
changed to new profile,
and a myriad of other things mainly in regards to pages wont load.
does this happen in other browsers, I barely use other browsers so haven't noticed that it does.
I use ghostery and ad block plus, ad block pop up, ad block is set to exclude google.
does this happen on other computers with firefox on my wireless network? not as much sometimes pages wont load but can put that down to internet or wireless issues.
I cant rule out it being a browser issue because when pages wont load from google links i can open bookmarks and the pages load as well as links from them out to the internet, and the page open via google still sits on spinning, try the link again and again and still wont load.
Could it just be a bad link? it happens far too often for the internet to have that many bad links.
other clues,
Ad block plus and ghostery have used this and updated for a long time with out these issues.
Issues only started with the last couple of firefox updates.
something of interest is that this issue started around the time we upgraded to adsl 2+ from adsl and got a new modem, but the internet is still connected and I can still surf from the bookmarks so that could be just a coincidence so I still cant rule out a browser issue.
oh does the page time out - eventually yes but takes a long time, I do see it saying waiting for fonts.google or other such things but tried all of those fixes and nothing helps.
I hope I have been able to get my issue across.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

My chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer not firefox i tried the drag it to the little house it did not work it worked before i lost it three days ago

my chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer but not firefox I tried the drag it to the little houes by the address bar but it still wont load it was working but stopped three days ago

I upgraded my Firefox and now when I open, either from a shortcut on my desk top or the Firefox icon all I get is a blank page with no address but about:blank. I can then open a page such as my mail or home page from a bookmark, nothing from the desktop will open in any thing other than the blank page. Also my right click options only work once and a while. Things like saving a photo or going back just don't work. All sorts of little glitches, I find them very frustrating and am considering going back to IE even though I don't like it much. All my saved pass words are gone too.

Pages wont load Win 8.1

I have updated to win 8.1 and find that some pages just wont load, sometimes theirs a big lag. eg
This page can’t be displayed
Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
is correct.
Look for the page with your search engine.
Refresh the page in a few minutes.
I copy this url and paste it to chrome and it opens the site.
This procedure does not always work tho, sometimes it wont open in either page?

Make sure the web address http://www.superrugby.co.nz
is correct.
If there is a connectivity problem try to simplify. E.g. test with just the site's favicon.
http://www.superrugby.co.nz/favicon.ico
Note that if you have visited the site before that might be loaded from your cache (aka TIF). So at least press Ctrl-F5 after loading it, if not just clear your TIF. However, there is an intermediate level of cache control that you could try
using the Developer Tools (F12), in the Network tab (Ctrl-4): Always refresh from server. (E.g. that one sounds like you might not need to do Ctrl-F5 while it was in effect. Use the Capture tool to find out for sure what it does.)

The permissions tab under page info is missing and page wont load

webpage wont load when i go under page info the permissions tab is not there im thinking it is some how block but i dunno ive tried restarting cleared all history ive even uninstalled/reinstalled firefox nothing helps

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Safari 6 some page not load

safari 6 some page not load

Maybe it was blocked where you are?
what site is it?
I go to school in china where censorship so im not suprised if a site doesnt load...

Certain pages wont load or need to constantly be refreshed!

Some websites wont load the flash content for me or they need to be refreshed constantly. Specifically, the website I use for online homework assignments. It will load 2 or 3 questions in a row and then I'll click next and it wont load and I have to hit refresh. I've tried it on other computers and it works perfectly. I tried all of the flash troubleshooting. I mean ALL of them. I changed the local flash storage settings for the website to unlimited and nothing changed. I contacted the website as well and they said it is a flash problem. I have tried everything I can think of. I went through all of my internet explorer settings as well and it fixed nothing. PLEASE HELP!

In order to really figure out what's happening, I have to reproduce the problem while running Flash with a C++ debugger attached.
To that end, the following information would be useful:
- A link to the website
- The operating system and version you're using
- The Flash Player version (you can right-click on Flash content and look at the context menu)
- The browser and version
If you haven't already, try on a couple browsers. The version of Flash Player in Chrome is different from the one in Firefox/Safari, and the one in Internet Explorer.
Also, do you have any privacy tools or browser settings outside of Flash that might be blocking cookies or something?
Finally, if the vendor of your homework software is aware of a problem with Flash Player, it might be easier for us to have a conversation directly. They're more than welcome to reach out to send me a private message via the forums with their contact information, and I'll happily work with them to understand what the issue is and get it resolved. This would be ideal, because a test account would be very helpful. We're always happy to add to our pool of real-world applications that we can use for testing.
Thanks!

My home page wont load

My bookmark toolbar wont load either. I changed nothing in firefox, it just start happening today.

I would recommend trying one of these quick fixes first:

Accounts system prefrences page wont load

Accounts pane of system prefrences wont load.
and i use multiple users.
I have a few fidle finger users so i need to limit them.
thanx
jord

If those other solutions don't do the trick, as a last step I would recommend performing an "Archive and install". Basically, this re-installs Mac OS X without removing any of your user files, settings, applications, etc. It re-installs your operating system, but in a way that preserves everything that you had before. It should fix your System Preferences problem.
For detailed instructions on how to perform an archive and install, go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Good Luck!

Safari Problems (Slow, Pages won't load, etc)

Hi,
My MBPro is less than a year old. All software is up to date.
My new 802.11 AC router is installed without a problem.
Safari keeps lagging in loading pages. Sometimes they just don't load.
I thought it was the router or internet connection but it's not.
Google Chrome is lightening fast.
I've cleared cache, browser history, etc.
Not sure what else to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks

What version of the OS are you using?
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

A couple of days ago Safari, started to runn slow on some sites and won't fil the hole progress bar. for several minutes, leaving the website with bitts missing. Im also getting wre it won't load the pages at all. But when i try the site using firefox or Opera they work ok. When safari stop working its is as if safari is not requesting any data as i have a meter that checks my upload and download rates and it is not moving at all. But then next day safri will work ok on all sites and then stop with no worning.
Pls help.

Try this:
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.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Safari -- Pages wont load

Hello,
We bought an iMac about a year ago, and it's been perfect. However, starting about yesterday, whenever I would try to load a page like ESPN, Safari would freeze up because the ads won't show up. This has happened on a lot of sites, and I can barely go on a site without it freezing up. I tried emptyin the cache, but that has made no difference. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

My Safari page load hangs were being caused by long URLs being split across packets by Safari that were not liked by my new SonicWall firewall. Firefox does not seem to split long URLs across multiple packets, so Firefox works fine with Sonicwall. My temporary fix was to turn off the CFS Content Filtering Service to allow Safari to complete loading pages. The solution that allows turning CFS back on is outlined below.
Examples of pages that were hanging were www.delta.com home page and even apple.com discussion boards. When I encountered a page that would not fully load (blue bar in URL would not fully complete), I click on the X in tool bar to cancel the loading page. Then choose Window>Activity. URLs that showed status "cancelled" were very long URLs, typically related to advertisements or metrics collection.
The following document shows the "hidden" Sonicwall option change that fixed the problem for me.

Infinity slow and wont load pages, better if I swi...

I'm experience some very slow loading times with some pages and when loading videos on vimeo, youtube ect.
I also experience problems accessesing some pages at all, getting the connection time out message.
However if I select the BTWifi with FON or the BTwifi profiles from the HH3 I don't get any problems.
Videos load super fast and innaccesable pages suddenly become available. Whats going on?

same problem here, 3 hubs, 2 allegedly fixed faults at the exchange and four months of complaining and still no improvement. I'm using a wired connection. Unplug the HH from the mains and plug it back in clears the page turning problem but then it's back again. (India told me to do this)
10 hours of chatting to India again this week.
I've had two B hubs and an A type, A type blew within a week
Wish I'd never swapped to BT. They won't end my contract withoit a cancellation charge cos they say there's no problem
Absolute rubbish service
