Safari is hung  then will load page

New to the mac forums and macs really. I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard so I could get Boot Camp. Ever since doing so, the net is painfully slow on both Safari and Firefox. It's like the browser is hung for 7 to 10 seconds then will load the page. I've tried the input managers and nothing was in the folder. I searched the forums for remedies but since I'm relatively new to macs, a lot of the terms and remedies are a bit foreign to me, so I apologize if other posts covered the same topic.
Thanks in advance for help. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi there,
If you create a new 'test' user account in the 'Accounts' section of System Preferences, does Safari behave in the same way when logged into it? If not, what you can try are some generic housekeeping steps. Empty Safari's cache from the 'Safari' menu and clear your history. If that doesn't seem to help, then for troubleshooting purposes, move the following files/folders to the Desktop, one at a time..
      ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
      ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
      ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
      ~/Library/Safari/
... and check how Safari's behaving.

  • 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 Crashes and then will not open yahoo.mail or gmaill
    Is anyone else having these, or similar problems. i cannot log-in to my yahoo.com or onto gmail. The issue started yesterday.
    The message states that it cannot secure the
    connection.
    Any suggestions?
    I downloaded Netscape to be able to log-in into my accounts.
    What a pain. I am using 10.3.9, and all was fine
    thanks,

    This just happened to me. Apparently yahoo mail just implemented something.. Check out this message from yahoo mail.
    =================
    Sorry, Yahoo! Mail Beta does not support your browser.
    You can either download a compatible browser or proceed to the original Yahoo! Mail.
    If you want to use the Yahoo! Mail Beta...
    You can download any of the supported browsers for free by clicking the links below:
    Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (for Windows)
    Firefox 1.5 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
    SeaMonkey 1.0.8 or higher (for Mac and Windows)
    To proceed to original Yahoo! Mail...
    Simply follow the link below. If you sign in later with a supported browser, you will automatically be taken to Yahoo! Mail Beta.
    Proceed directly to the original Yahoo! Mail
    I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

  • Safari slow or won't load pages since recent Safari update.

    Safari is slow to load or will not finish loading pages since installing latest Safai update.  I have to constantly use the refresh button to finish loading pages.  Other browsers work fine.  Contacted Apple support, went into safe mode and verified disk and repaired permissions but no improvement.  What can I do?

    Oh well - they were only the first steps.
    Next steps would be:
    Finder
    Go
    Computer
    Preferences
    SystemConfiguration <--- Copy/Paste this folder onto your desktop and then delete from the Preferences folder
    Reboot & Test
    Once done, do the following:
    Apple Logo
    System Preferences
    Network
    Ethernet / WiFi (Click on whichever method you are using to connect to the internet, on the left column)
    Advanced (bottom right)
    DNS (Tab)
    Left Column, Click +
    Add the following numbers: (Click +, type the first set of numbers, hit return. Repeat process for second set)
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Reboot & Test
    If the issue is still occuring..
    Apple Logo
    System Preferences
    Users & Groups (or Accounts)
    Unlock Padlock (bottom left, with administrator password)
    Click +
    Change Standard to Administrator
    Account Name: Test
    Full Name: Test
    Password: (leave empty)
    Create User
    On the left column you will now see 'Test - Admin'
    Apple Logo
    Log out
    Log into 'Test' account
    Test to see if your issue with iTunes & Safari occurs in this account and report back..

  • Safari quits unexpectedly, won't load pages

    Multiple times a day, Safari quits unexpectedly, mostly when I'm in my email and trying to download attachments. It's been running very slow and hasn't been loading pages properly, mostly after it quits on me. I've uninstalled files that might have been harmful, but it's still doing it. What's going on?

    Welcome to the forums!
    We need to see the latest crash report.
    Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
    In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
    Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
    Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
    Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
    Come back here and Command-v it to post it here!

  • HT5271 Adobe flash 11.2 install but Safari 5.1.7 not loading pages

    I'm very frustrated after spending an hour looking into why, once installing updates, Sarfari no longer loads pages.  I have the most current version of Adobe Flash, so that should not be an issue. 

    Hi..
    Make sure there is not an earlier version of Flash on the drive. Safari 5.1.7 disables prior versions, but make sure and try uninstalling then reinstalling new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Then try a Flash based video.

  • Podcast will not load in safari from server, but will load in other Apps

    Podcast will not load in safari from iWeb Page from server, but will load in Firefox and other web apps.
    Here the problem: I have a podcast page made in iWeb. It is setting on a server with GoDaddy. When I try load page with Safari, I get where the Quicktime Playing Bars are a small Quicktime Logo w/? mark and will not download or play. But in Firefox, My iPad and in Windows side it will load and play. Also it play on a friends Macbook Pro in Safari. (Note it will play in my Safari after Firefox has play -it "very strange to me" like Firefox will open some port, but it will not stay open if quit Safari re-booth-it) I have remove the .plist for Quicktime & Safari. And clean out the Cache for Safari. Also have re-set the Firewall setting to Enable Stealth Mode only. Re-load the site to GoDaddy. This is happening to both Mac's in my network and in all users accounts.
    My Network is a A&TT with a 2Wire w/wrieless turn off. going into and Airport Extreme Base Station w/N generation network. One computer is connected with and ethernet cable to the Airport extreme base station the other is a wireless contection.
    I do feel this and network issue and I can't seem to solve-it. How can I get Safari to open the port and download and play-it on my network?

    We've only discover this yesterday. One of our listeners sent me an e-mail about-it. With a little more research this morning. I've discover that everybody I've had check-it is have the same problem only with Safari 4.0.5. So I'm starting to feel that this is an Apple Safari Bug in 4.0.5 for the Mac only. It seems to be OK everywhere else on other devices. I agree in most cases this is not a problem. But when have older people who do not download into iTunes around the world it is to them. We have 250 or more listeners a week. This is a Church podcast.
    For right now we are planing to post a message on the site saying you will not be able to listen to the podcast in Safari, but can in Firefox and ect.

  • Safari slow and freezes when loading pages

    Hi I've been having a problem with Safari for the past few months it frequently freezes when loading web pages, sometimes it will eventually load, other times it wont. the blue progress bar in the address bar stops on about 10% with a plain white page it doesn't happen all the time but disturbingly it happens on pages as simple as Google search, not just data heavy sites. other symptoms include having to click links several times to get them to respond and I get the you are not connected to the Internet page when I go to some sites only to try another page from my bookmarks and it will load perfectly.
    Any help greatly appreciated its driving me nuts.

  • Safari 5.1.8 slow loading pages missing functions and search engines

    As of this morning (3/30/13) I feel like my internet provider removed the guts of my internet connection. I have a Comcast modem and use an ethernet to connect it to my computer. I also have an ATT smartphone which gives me a mobile hotspot ability and everything with my internet is fine using the wi-fi connection. The problem using the secure line/modem from Comcast is that it does not allow me to use any of the 3 search engines and unexpectedly quit Yahoo the only time the connection was established. Facebook doesn't load. If you give things enough time my gmail will look like it's up but emails don't open. the msnbc portal will show the visual headlines but not the videos for its Nightly News. Hulu works fine. I watched 3 episodes of a Network show. Comcast is sending technicians out to check the cable interface. Or is it something with Safari, or another recent Sofware Update item? Thanks for any help.

    How do you turn IPv6 off in Safari 5.1.10?
    I don't see anyway to do this.
    Lately, Safari is not only loading slowly upon initial opening, but it's also slow to load new pages, and it's regularly loosing contact with webpages in previous tabs I opened. I'll go back to a tab, after moving to a new one, only to find it blank, and then I have to reload it, which takes f o r e v e r !
    Then I find my entire system get stuck and I can't do anything. Sometimes I can force quit an application and other times not. Many times lately, I find my computer is just frozen and all I can do is reboot it manually to get it working again.

  • Did this resolve my Safari 5 issue with not loading pages as fast?

    I've been having this problem every since I got my laptop a month ago... I have a wireless router that's connected to a PC, and I use wireless on my laptop. My old laptop was a PC, and the internet connection was just fine on it. However, I'm having issues with my MacBook Pro. When I first turned on my laptop after taking it out of the box, Airport detected my wireless router and connected me to the internet. Obviously, I used Safari 5 as my browser and although it works... it doesn't load the pages as fast as it should. It even stops loading at times. Usually, I quit Safari and reopen Safari and it works and if it doesn't, I click on the reload button or just keep re-opening Safari until it does work... buttt I am tired of doing that now. So after a lot of attempts by trial and error, I think I found the solution and was wondering if anyone could confirm this with me. I went to my router's IP address and I looked at the settings. I looked at the router's DNS settings and I copied and pasted that router setting into the DNS settings on my laptop for the wireless network. Now, my internet seems to be working... but then again it has only been 5 minutes. So my question is... the router's DNS has to match the wireless network's DNS address?
    Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question... I'm not an expert when it comes to internet, LAN, proxies, and etc. settings. Thank you!

    Further investigation has revealed that the following error message is being generated within Safari during the first time the that the page is loading,
    "Refused to load from document base URL. URL found within request."
    The <base> directive in the HTML, in this instance, is referring to a different URL than the one that the page is running from. The page with the problem is running on a remote server and back referencing to the home server for the <base> reference. This fails when the page first loads but seems to be accepted if a page-reload is done. It also works on all other browsers that have been tested.
    Is this related to a security setting in the browser?

  • Safari 5.1.5 not loading pages properly after Java install

    Safari kept telling me I need to install a java runtime, so I finally let it, and now certain pages (like accuweather.com)  take forever to load unless I turn off Java in preferences. The page background will appear but the "loading whatever # of #" hangs on the last number and just sits there until the page finally appears. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed?

    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).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Safari is really slow in loading pages

    I tested my LAN connection on my new iMAC 27" and the Verizon shows 52mbps....but when I go to most sites there is an initial load, then 20 seconds or more the site finally loads. Not a bandwidth issue. Is it a safari issue? Help.
    Thanks
    Bob

    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.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    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 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?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, 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?

  • Fix for Safari 5 hanging up with loading pages

    After reading the other extensive threads on this topic, one of the articles linked in those threads that helped me the most is found here... http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    The solution appears to be the DNS problem for many new Safari 5 users (if not most). The article linked above demystified DNS for me. I added the OpenDNS numbers in the windows entitled "DNS Server" at System Preferences > Network. Safari 5 on my computer now works at lightning speed. The added benefit to doing this is that it is much faster than my previous DNS servers, and it is more secure.
    I hope that Apple will spread the word about this simple and fast solution, because many Safari 5 users are very frustrated right now.

    I also have problem with hanging up freezing up and all the above and actually Safari 5 made my entire computer inclosing other browsers I use very slow now,
    so I hope Apple come up with a fast fix for this soon because a lot of people have problems I have three laptops in my family my kids tonight said they have the same exact problem as far as using the DNS that you were talking about I'm afraid that I would run into some security issues I am not sure if it is something Apple would also suggest to all the people that are having this problem. I have not seen any feedback yet on open DNS

  • Safari is slow/unable to load pages

    I believe the problem relates to linking to necessary files in system/library/frameworks. Other apps are also affected...my printer(no connection)and Xcode does not work properly. The required files are on the computer, but there is a problem linking to them.
    Does anybody have suggestions for identifying the problem?
    emac G4 700   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The X code problem was caused when we updated Quick Time. We regained the necessary frameworks when we went went back to the previous version.
