Safari 6 running extremely slow after getting Mountain Lion

So after getting OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6, my safari has been running extremely slow. I've seen that a lot of people are having trouble with it crashing or stopping which I have not experienced. So far, I've tried: emptying the cache, disabling plug ins, turned off extensions, and reset safari. All of these have helped but it is still running pretty slow.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

If you have anti virus software installed, disable that then try Safari.
If you don't have a/v software installed, try Safari in another user account. If it's slow there, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
If that is the case, that requires >  Mountain Lion Recovery

  • Safari running very slow after downloading Mountain Lion

    Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion Sarfafi runs very slowly as though I have used up my data download allowance from my service provider. I have no proxies installed (not that I would know what this means) and the DNS entries are from my service provider.  Is there any way to uninstall Mountain Lion so I can have my imac back to the way it was??? I really regret downloading it. on top of that, whilst it shows I have downloaded an app (mountain lion) on the App Store icon, it doesn't come up when I click on it.

    If you're using iCloud, disable all its services and test.

  • HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

    Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

  • My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

    My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
    What can I do?

    Ha  ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
    BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    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?

  • My final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help

    my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me.  I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

  • My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

    my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion?  Is anyone else having this issue?

    If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
    one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
    If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
    the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
    You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
    There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
    You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
    Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

    Ever since upgrading my OS, my computer is running extremely slow. Any tips to improve performance?

    How much RAM is your system running? Do a Disk Repair and see if that resolves any issues.

  • Equium L20 running extremely slow after formatting

    I wonder if anyone could help me,
    I have had my Equium just over a year now and last month I believe it got a virus as it started running incredibly slow, not allowing me to open any programs.
    So I restarted it but once it had gone off I could not get it to start up again.
    It would show the Windows loading screen and then die, and restart again.
    I was forced to format the hard drive and after doing this everything seemed to be fine and it was running perfectly.
    This lasted for about 2 weeks and now it is back to how it was before, running very slowly taking almost half an hour just to reach the login screen and I am getting errors when it finally logs in says that my applications are failing to load.
    The first time I also got a warning that Norton Antivirus had experienced a problem and that I need to re-install that :S
    I find it hard to believe that it is another virus this soon after the first one especially because i have never before had any problems with viruses and always run antivirus software.
    I would greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone could give me about why this is happening.

    The described issue is really strange. Usually with so called factory settings the notebook should run like at first day. I do not believe that immediately after recovering your notebook you have noticed that OS runs extremely slow. Am I right?
    Now after two weeks the same again. Nobody of us knows what you have done with your notebook, which software is preinstalled and what are your favorite settings. The fact is that Norton Antivir slows down the running system rapidly. Try please to remove preinstalled Norton and use some other Antivir application.
    Equium L30 is definitely not the fastest notebook and I believe many running applications are responsible for slow running OS.

  • Safari runs slow after installing mountain lion

    Safari is running very slowly since I installed Mountain Lion.  Any suggestions about why this is happening or how to improve the speed?

    I ordered something from a website I haven't used before, and it was very slow, but I don't know if it's that website or safari.  Safari is the only browser I use.

  • MacAir running a lot slower after downloading Mountain Lion, has any one else experienced this

    Since downloading Mountain Lion, my MacbookAIr runs more like Windows, slow to download.

    Someone mention the 'indexing' on another thread, which pertain to a fan issue.  But that when you update to a new OS the indexing can take hr.s  My point, perhaps that is causing the sluggishness.  And the simple answer is, downgrade Safari, if you still have problems with 6.  And wait and see if this get's mention a lot and then perhaps Apple does an update to address it.
    I'm running it now with Lion, and I did not notice any speed diiference from 5.  All I see are new added or deleted features and a few shuffles of this, that and the other.  When I hear people get into the forever browser wars, about rendering/speed ect. it's in my opinion more on a person like then actual numbers.  And even the numbers can be missleading.
    Look at Chrome, sure it's fast, but no one looks behind the scene.  It eats up resources as more tabs are open.  And while the downloaded file may seem lite at 23 mb, after installation it is as big as Safari.  Safari is just up front about it.  Even F.F. is over 35 mb after instalation.  And their memory leaks are as big as the grand canyon.
    Hang tuff, somebody will figure something out if it's a wide spread issue.  If not there has to be something then on your machine that is causing the friction, some hiderance.  And quite possibly as simple as changing a preference.

  • Help! Mac is super slow after installing mountain lion

    Ever since I installed Mountain lion on my new imac everything seems to be working really slowly. iphoto takes about 5 minutes to start and once it has started up it is really slow. Same thing happens with itunes. I have repaired disk permisions many times and also have run my Mac Keeper program as well.None of these things seem to help and it seems to be getting worse. Has anybody else have this trouble? Any ideas would really be appreciated. Thanks

  • Safari won't open after installing Mountain Lion

    I installed Mountain Lion (OS X version 10.8.5) on my iMac but Safari didn't update, and wouldn't open.  I separately downloaded Safari 6.2.2.  Safari still wouldn't open.  In trying to fix it, I apparently deleted needed files.  When I click on the Safari icon, the message box titled "Safari cannot be opened because of a problem" opens, and below are the error message details.
    Dyld error message:
      Library not loaded:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/WebKit2
      Referenced from:
    /System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/Safari.framework/Safari
      Reason: image not found
    I am a novice.  Can I just download the missing material somehow?
    I would appreciate some help with this.
    Thank you.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
