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.)

  • Help!  Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh!  Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

    For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?).  The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops.  I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it. 
    I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari. 
    Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem?  How would I check.
    It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
    Any suggestions welcome

    Hi Krisztina ..
    Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Apple suggests using OpenDNS here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

  • 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!

  • My ipad air is slower loading web pages and opening apps than ipad 2

    Bought new ipad air a month ago, it seems very slow compared to my ipad 2, when loading web pages and apps, is anyone else having these problems or have I got a faulty ipad?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

    Does this happen with both Safari & Firefox?
    What does DSL Reports...
    http://www.dslreports.com/stest
    report for both?
    Have you cleared Caches in Safari?
    What ISP is it?
    Might try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:

  • Safari: 27 min for loading Web page (JavaScript issue)

    I have Safari running on Mac OS 10.7.1 (MacBook Pro). It works fine, except for some Web pages. For example, <http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Erster-Kratzer-fuer-Kryptoalgorithmus-AES -1324532.html> gets loaded partly, then it takes minutes to have it completely on my screen (even the text).
    In order to depict it, I started the Web inspector and put a screenshot of it for download.
    As you can see, there are some JavaScript parts that gets interpreted as streams. This is what causes Safari to show a high latancy, up to 7 minutes. The whole page mentioned above took 27.1 minutes to load. The actual problem is that some parts that apparently are required to complete the page are loaded after some latency.
    Switching off Safari Extensions, clearing the cache, and temporarily removing files in "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" and "~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" did not show any effect.
    On the other side, Firefox 6 (on the same machine) does not have this issue. Its web console complains about "illegal characters", but the page gets completely loaded within fractions of a second.
    Any ideas?

    The issue has been solved in the meanwhile. The problem was that I had NetBarrier X5 running in the background with Banners Filter switched on. Obviously this caused the massive delay in loading some Web pages with ads in it.

  • MBP slower loading web pages with Safari

    Is there a 'learning' period for Safari on the MBP (2.0 dual-1G ram). The pages seem to be much slower than my PBG4. The Aple sight is painfully slow.
    Otheer activities seem about the same or just a slight bit faster to open.

    The only "break in" period isn't related to Safari, but when Spotlight is indexing it may slow things down a bit for an hour or two after you first boot up or xfer a bunch of files to the machine.
    Other than that, Safari should run super fast. Check a couple of things:
    1) Make sure you didn't install any non-universal plug-ins.
    2) Choose "Get Info" for Safari and make sure "Open using Rosetta" is NOT checked.
    3) Empty the cache.
    4) Try resetting Safari.

  • Slow loading web pages

    My iMac G5 used to perform just fine. But for the past 4-5 days any internet content seems to load at a "snails pace", even compared to my older Powerbook G4. I thought it my have had something to do with Simplify Media program for iPhone, so I deleted, but made no difference. I also ran all sorts of cleaning and maintenance with Onyx. Any ideas why my Mac has gotten "tired"???

    Try this:
    The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
    Many, including me, have had success with adding DNS codes to their Network Settings, with 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
    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.
    Less likely, but possible, is that the slowness is caused by a Trojan such as the one called 'DNSChanger' or 'OSZ.RSPlug', which can alter the DNS settings of your network connection. This particular Trojan can be inadvertently installed if you have come across certain Quicktime movies where got a window stating that you have to download and install a particular codec in order to see the video.
    If you have agreed to that installation, your system can be infected and your DNS settings altered, which results in your system using the wrong DNS servers, which can slow web surfing to a crawl.
    This can be fixed by downloading and running a freeware utility called DNSChanger Removal Tool which you can download from here:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696
    Once you have run that utility you have to re-boot your Mac, then reset Safari, and re-enter your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network.

  • Extremely Slow Loading Home Pages At Start-Up

    I'm running Vista and recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6.12 to Firefox 7.0.1. Since then my home pages take WAY too long to load at start-up, even after disabling AVG add-ons. Tried uninstallilng, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting -- same problem. Didn't have the problem using IE8, so concluded the problem was with Firefox 7.0.1. Uninstalled 7.0.1 and went back to 3.6.12 -- problem resolved. I'd like to run the latest version. Any idea what the problem was?

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Fixed my prob (slow loading web pages and youtube streaming) so far :)

    I dont know how and I dont know why this worked but I am flying now.
    On iPad went to DNSServerlist.org down the bottom it gives you IP address and suggested DNS address's.
    Here's where things are strange... I *changed my DNS to the IP address instead of the suggested DNS address*. Changed it in my wifi ISP details (noting old address ) clicked return/enter. Turned iPad off then on (restart) and tried youtube.... no lag and pre fetch? very quick.
    Then tried Safari and it is running as fast as my Mac... back to normal surfing speed.
    Dont know how/why and dont care if it is working lol.
    May help someone. Let me know. Cheers

  • Delay in loading web pages using wireless after 10.5.6 update.

    I've read the posts for the 10.5.5 updates, but I have been recently experiencing this problem after updating to 10.5.6.
    It is seemingly a DNS problem because of the delay in "Looking up" and "Waiting for" in Firefox, but I do not have DNSchanger trojan. I have done everything from entering the known DNS statically, dynamically, OpenDNS on either or both the router and laptop.
    I experience no problems at all when connecting to the router directly w/ an ethernet cable. And my download speeds, whether P2P or a large file through webserver is similar to what I experienced before the 10.5.6 update.
    I understand that it could be my ISP, but I was surfing fine less than a week ago. Is it merely a coincidence that I updated to 10.5.6? Any further suggestions?

    Thanx! The numbers didn't help me anything, but your post reminded me: I found the DNS numbers that my ISP had provided that I had put in the Ethernet TCP/IP section in Network Preferences, and just copied and pasted them into my airport TCP/IP section. Worked great!

  • 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.

  • Fireox became excruciatingly slow to load web pages immediately after following Stop Censorship link over Firefox logo on start page.

    Immediately after I followed the Stop Censorship link on the Firefox opening page and e-mailed congressional representatives, Firefox has become extremely glitchy - web pages take forever to load. I had upgraded to Firefox 8 two days ago. Could this be a virus/worm set by pro-censorship or anti-open source agencies like ?Microsoft or is this a problem with the beta version of Firefox 8? I did not notice the extreme slowing of web page loading after upgrading to Firefox 8, but it happened directly after I followed and acted on the Stop Internet Censorship links. My Norton internet security scans shows "no threats detected". Also I am unable to submit this feedback to Firefox: When I click on the Submit Feedback button, nothing happens. What to do? Should I go back to 3.6 or what to do next? Any other Firefox community members have this problem?

    SOLVED
    I cannot quite fathom why this solution works (since browsing seemed slower without Sophos installed) but with Sophos 9 installed and turning off the new functionality in Sophos 9: Web protection / Block malicious downloads... the browsing experience is again very fast with the exception of netspeed.test.

  • 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.

  • Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook

    Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook.

    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.
