Safari loads some pages very slowly and freezes

My mid 2007 iMac , 10.8.2, Safari 10.6.2, is not loading web pages completely . It also freezes up in Safari with the pinwheel. I get various Safari error messages. What gives?

It seemed to start  a few weeks ago or maybe a month or so.  after an apple update . i cant say which.
I went to the adobe site and it id'd my 10.8.2 and said my installed player was the most current version. 10.602 i think
There are other issues with other sites. I will keep a note pad next to the comp amd make notes for the next few days and report back,
Thank you for your help.
The imac is five years old, I have updated it to the latest and greatest as offfered by apple. I had one gig of ram, ( dont laugh), i upgraded to two !
I am happy I got five trouble free years out of it.
Is it time to upgrade?

  • Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv.

    Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv. both the computer and apple tv are wired connections on my home network. Checked the network speed and it is between 0 and 1 ms response. This problem just started last week. Only new software introduced recently was update to Norton 360.
    Thanks

    I know very little about windows but security software is notorious for causing the type of problem you have, you may want to contact Symentec and ask them which settings you need to change.

  • Safari suddenly loading all pages VERY slowly

    [ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
    Out of the blue, Safari (v2.0.3) has started loading pages extremely slow (between 10 and 30 seconds). I have rest Safari to no avail. I have deleted the icons folder along with the historyplist as well as anothe rplist (I can't remember hich suddenly) as suggested by others on this forum. Still slow. I have shut down and unplugged the mac, unplugged the router and cable modem. Still slow. I have disabled all languages except English. Still slow. I have tested DL and UL speeds. 6099kbps and 350kbps, respectively. I don't know if those speeds are good or not. I don't know what else to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Well, instaed of downloading it, you can look in your package receipts and extract the version iof Safari you are currently running with Pacifist.
    Follow the directions and you should be ok, although I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between 2.0.1 and 2.0.3.

  • Firefox opens pages very slowly, and flash crashes every time a new page is opened?

    Every single time I open a new page, not only does it take awhile to open but I get a message saying Shockwave Flash has stopped working. I've made sure that I have the current up to date version of Adobe flash and Firefox. It's making it impossible to do my work, which requires flash player. My last 5 crash reports were there;

  • HT1338 My macbook takes forever to load some pages. I have no idea why. Any suggestions please?

    Im having problems loading some pages - takes forever and sometimes never load and freezes everything else up. Its as though Ive pick up a trojan or something (had problems in my pre Mac days). Any suggestions on what i can do or how to find out what the problem might be. Using this site wasnt a problem, pages loaded normally. Seems to be when im on comercial sites and searching for items.
    I use firefox.
    Thanks

    Hi - sorry for late reply. I tried all you suggested and it made no difference to begin with, i couldnt even open this page to reply to you, which is why i havent replied before now. But the next day - all seemed significantly better. Maybe using Ghostery takes time to have an effect. Its something i didnt know about so i am extremely greatful for the advice.

  • Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

    Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
    Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
    Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
    Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
    Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

    Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
    Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

  • Only Hotmail running very slowly and errors in loading correct page

    recently Hotmail havs taken a long time to load pages. Plus when a email is selected page flickers and wrong page displayed.
    this is not happening with Yahoo mail. Sometimes error message such as "not responding" or "cannot complete". But only when trying to get hotmail

    Hi Larry,
    Thankyou for your reply, this is a partial answer
    This server has been running for about 3 years now,
    The faults started after I did an service pack update for sharepoint. I then did the manual update but the C drive then started to run very slowly and was giving disk size too low errors so I moved the SUS to a different drive but this hasnt helped. It is
    still running painfully slow. Ran SBS BPA and found no faults. However ran Exchange BPA and did find faults which I have now fixed. Still have large number of errors

    MagicMenu Enabler is a product developed by the
    people who make Stuffit. From the above log it
    appears that it might be compromising your system,
    and possibly contributing to the problem you are
    seeing.
    Go to your Main Library>InputManagers folder and
    remove the MagicMenuEnabler plug-in (for the time
    being move it to your desktop).
    Then restart Safari.

    Thanks, Joseph. Tried it last night on my laptop and it didn't help. I still have lots of similar error messages not related to Stuffit. I am getting frustrated. Sometimes Safari is OK, but I have great difficulty logging in to secure sites like my bank and brokerage accounts. Software Update still stalls. Sometimes I have difficulty logging into this site. But, some websites load OK. I can access all of them on my Windows computer in my office.

  • Firefox is loading pages very slowly, most of times saying server not found. Same pages loaded quickly in ie9. Previously FF used to load pages fast. FF version 8.0.1, windows vista & windows XP.

    Thank you for the link, but I am not sure how this is going to help me: I am not booting straight to an X session, but prefer to log into TTY1 and have my login shell handle everything from there.
    Here is the relevant part of my .zprofile:
    if (( UID )); then
    [[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec systemd --user
    fi
    As far as I understand, your method works if I enable the [email protected] template when actually booting straight to X.

  • After Update, Safari only loads some pages.

    Hello,
    On my Powerbook G4 (OS 10.4.11), I recently installed Security Update 2008-008 (PowerPC), and since I've installed it, Safari (v3.2.1) is loading only some pages. This is not just Safari, but Firefox will not load some pages either. Pages that will load include Google, Gmail, and Yahoo. Some pages that won't load include Apple, Facebook, YouTube, and most large pages. It seems that
    When I ping these sites using Network Utility, the average pings for these pages are as follows:
    Google: 100 ms
    Gmail: 17 ms
    Yahoo: 17 ms
    Apple: 100% packet loss
    Facebook: 90 ms
    YouTube: 85 ms
    I have 5 devices on the network: two Macbook Pros, one Powerbook, one Nintendo Wii, and one iPod Touch. Each device works perfectly fine except for the recently-updated Powerbook.
    Failed attempts to fix the problem:
    - Resetting Safari
    - Restarting the computer
    - Power cycling the router
    - Resetting the PRAM and NVRAM
    - Fixing Permissions
    Are there any changed settings which could have caused this malfunction?
    Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hmmm… then there's some larger-scale corruption with files that we can't pinpoint, so at this point you should do an Archive & Install with the option to Preserve Users and Network Settings. You will not lose any programs or data, just get a new copy of OS X installed and the old one removed. The old copy will be put in a folder named Previous Systems, which you should delete. You will also need to download the 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 Combo Update and install that, as well as Use Software Update to bring your system current.
    To do this:
    1. Quit all running applications and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    2. Insert your Mac OS X install/restore disc and restart your Mac from it (hold down the 'C' key until you see the startup screen).
    3. Proceed with an install as normal, but choose Archive & Install with Preserve Users and Network Settings; then run the installer.
    4. Eject the disc after the Mac restarts.
    5. Quit Software Update if it runs and tells you to update things. Instead, download and install the 10.5.6 Combo Update; then run Software Update to bring your system current.
    6. Repair Permissions again.

  • Safari wont load some pages...please help

    safari started running slow for me a couple days ago. when i go to load some pages, such as myspace, i get the error message "Safari can’t open the page “http://myspace.com/” because Safari can’t find the server “myspace.com”." i have no idea why this would happen. if someone could please help it would be much appreciated. p.s. im kind of a noob so if you have a solution that is somewhat complicated, step by step would be appreciated.

    reaper --
    The Apple Discussions site has been having problems for about a week now.
    Up, and then Down. They are working diligently on resolving it.
    As for FB --
    A lot of posters report problems on that website.
    I have not experienced any problems, but I have no idea why.
    Perhaps FB is super busy . . .
    Sometimes, when I'm having problems, I shut everything down, and unplug
    the Mac, the modem & the router. Let everything sit for 5 mins. Then restart
    modem/router until the lights get steady. Then restart the Mac.
    Just a thought.

  • Firefox 4 freezes after i open it (keeps loading the page non-stop and i cant click or do anything

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • The FireFox Browser loads itself very slowly and makes me wonder if it is loading at all. Is there something that can be done to speed up the FF Browser loading?

    FF Browser 5 loads itself very slowly and takes so long with no sign that it is loading that many times I will click it again and later find that it has loaded itself twice.
    Is there anything that I can do to speed the start-up of this browser?
    It seems that if there is not a way to load this browser faster that FireFox would make an add on that would show us that the Browser is in process of loading at the very least. Thank you for your kindness in any way for help in this regard. Best Regards
    Sincerely Walt

    Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
    The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time. Then the readers of this community can follow the progression of the events better.
