Safari, mail, software update very slow on new imac

Hello,
I recently upgraded to a 21.5" i3 imac and transferred everything from my old imac (core 2 duo, os 10.4.10)
anything involving the internet is painfully slow, safari 5.02, firefox, mail, even the software update (but once it "catches"- downloads are fast)
I have tried the following:
1.) Repaired disk permissions
2.) Changed DNS
3.) Reset Safari
4.) Restarted computer
5.) Disabled all plugins (only had one which was an adobe reader)
No improvement- when I hookup my old computer- internet is fast.
Now for the really disturbing part- when I run windows 7 inside parallels 6, internet explorer is quick!
Help!

Finally- the problem has been solved
on the second call to the cable company they flashed/reset the modem and now it is working perfectly (roadrunner wideband)-
the first time I called they just ran a diagnostic which appeared ok.
the second time they flashed to modem.

    Thanks for the suggestion - I tried that but it quit - unexpected error
    I procceded to archive and install the original 10.4 and that went fine I restarted all was working fine. I tried to install the 10.4.3 Combo installer and it crashed again. Now I can't even start up, it gets to the gray apple screen and the fans start going crazy. Started up from the CD and tried to install again and that quits also.
    - what's going on?
    I'd appreciate any help

  • Snow Leopard Software Update VERY slow

    I'm running snow leopard 10.6.8 server and am having some very strange problems with my software updates.
    I have all the settings set right (I believe) and I have made the adjustments to allow Lion clients to upgrade from it as well.
    The problem I'm having is that when a client running either 10.6 or 10.7 is in the "checking for updates" portion of the update process it takes a very VERY long time to get the the next screen. The clients running 10.6 will show the bar going across at a snails pace for about 10-15 minutes then give the updates report showing my correct updates server at the top of the window.
    The clients running 10.7 show the blue bar only going about 1/8-1/3 of the way in, then it stops, and sits there literally for hours before completing the check, then giving me the status and it also does show my correct update server.
    I am connected through 1GB Ethernet from my clients to the server so that's not an issues and the speed is good when doing a file transfer. I can transfer 3GB to the server in less than 40 seconds, and pull that same 3GB back to the client in about 30 seconds. I can see and ping the update server. I can access the Xserve web site on my server... and the weird thing is it didn't always do this, it's only been the last month or so.
    I have thought it might be a bad or corrupt OS so I reinstalled the OS and all services.
    The clients are not managed by Microsoft AD & GP not by the apple servers.
    As I said this used to be so much faster then using the apple servers in our organization, but now it's grossly slower then going out to the apple site.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you, Mike

    Asking for the server by IP does mean you're avoiding a DNS lookup.
    It doesn't mean that the target OS X Server box won't avoid errors due to a DNS server or network error, nor that any parallel connections that might be initiated at the client or at the server won't encounter DNS errors or network errors; whatever is going on here, and whatever is triggered by the initial IP-based access.
    One of the DNS translations that can arise - even when the client is specifying an IP address - is on the remote end of the connection, when that system performs what is called a reverse look-up; translating the client IP address to the client IP name.  If there's a reverse translation arising and and if there's a DNS error or DNS timeout or a network error, then things will (still) be slow, even if the initial access was via IP.
    If you're running a NAT'd private network, that means local DNS services are necessary and (at least to start with) no references to DNS servers off your NAT'd LAN.
    If DNS services aren't quite right, the rest of the network stack gets flaky, and DNS errors look like delays, sluggist networks, and network errors. 
    There are most certainly other triggers for network slowness ranging from moisture in cables to WiFi interference to a truck that drove through the path of the WISP link, but DNS services are always a good potential culprit until proven otherwise.
    Valid DNS services have become much like IP routing; a fundamental part of a modern IP network.  This particularly as distributed security, certificate-based encryption, user authentication and access delegation become more and more important within the network environment.

  • Software Updates Very Slow Reporting Compliance

    We installed updates over the weekend, through Saturday. It is now Thursday and all of them have not yet reported as compliant even though they are. Slowly more have reported each day and eventually they will all but that may not be until a few more days.
    Right now we have a good percentage still showing Last Enforcement Message Time as almost a week ago with Last Enforcement Status of Downloaded update(s). The updates have been downloaded, installed, and followed by a restart. Why are they taking so long?
    My statesys.log doesn't show any errors either. What can I do to force them to update their status as we have the default to send state messages every 15 minutes. Please help.

    What do you have for SU scan agent setting? The default is every 7 days.

  • Mail, Safari and Software Update won't launch?

    My Mail, Safari and Software Update apps don't launch after my last Software Update installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. During that update (Jan 12, 06) I got the spinning ball and ended up restarting because nothing was happening...
    That's when my apps stopped opening.
    This is what Console says when I try:
    dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    So it appears I have a "malformed library", what should I do?
    Thanks.

    Yes, it looks like something is not right with /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. The message "filesize extends past end of the library" sounds like there might be some corruption of the filesystem, although I certainly could be wrong about this. (The filesystem is the operating system's mechanism for determining where files actually start and stop on the harddrive.)
    The first thing to try would be to attempt to repair the filesystem. This can be accomplished by booting of your Panther Install CD and using Disk Utility to do a Repair Disk. There are good instructions for that at Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. See the section on Repair Disk.
    If that does not work, I suggest that you try to replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. If you have another computer with the same operating system, you could connect via target disk mode and copy over the good folder to replace the bad one. Alternatively, you could do an Archive and Install.

  • Software Update wont check for new software.

    Software Update wont check for new software.

    No - I'm on 10.6.8 and it functions normally, though there are now very few actual updates. If there are no updates the progress bar should still complete in around 3 minutes and announce that there are no updates, so you've got something hanging somewhere. If it's still stuck hit command-option (alt)- escape, select Software Update and hit Force Quit. You could try it again (I should reboot first) in case it's a one-off glitch, but if it still sticks force quit it again.
    The best suggestion I can offer is to apply the combo updater anyway in the hope that it may over-write whatever is causing the problem.

  • Unable to connect to network with Safari and Software Update

    A user I support has encountered a problem with networking. He is unable to connect to the network with Safari and Software Update, but IS able to connect and surf with Foxfire and some other programs. Another unusual symptom is that he actually can connect to one web site (which is in his Bookmarks Bar) with Safari, but can't connect to anything else. He's also unable to navigate off of that one site he connects to. When he runs Network Diagnostics, he gets all green lights (no problems). He has fixed permissions, deleted Safari Cache and .plist, rebooted - not fixed yet. He's using 10.4.8 on a PowerPC G4. Any ideas appreciated (this is the wierdest I've seen in a while!).

    Here's what he did. After reading your post, he created another location in his network preferences, entering EXACTLY the same info that was in his old location (he even used the old DNS addresses), except using a new location name. Then he chose the new location and "everything worked". It's one of life's great mysteries. Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.

  • Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

    Hi There,
    Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
    I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went  into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really  understand what they are/ do.
    I went into the Proxies screen, Only one  box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no  difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers,  nothing worked yet.
    Any suggestions?

    I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
    Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

  • Safari & apple software updater don't believe I'm connected to the internet

    Hi,
    I have an interesting internet connectivity problem that I was wondering people could help me with.
    Whenever I use the ethernet port on my laptop to connect to the internet, certain pieces of software do not think i'm connected to the internet even if I am. For example, firefox, adium, apple mail, jabber, transmit ftp, ichat will work properly, but, safari, the software updater, adobe cs updater will not work and thinks there is no connection to the internet.
    This happens no matter what network I am on and I do not have this problem if I connect wirelessly to any network.
    Anyone know what's going on and if there is a simple solution?
    thanks,
    ben

    Hi Ben, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Try this... when using the Ethernet port, type this into Safari's URL bar...
    17.254.3.183
    If that gets you to Apple, then try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:, for that Interface...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Apply. These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • Creative Cloud Software is very slow to open

    When I restart the computer, and then I start any of the Creative Cloud Software is very slow to open.
    If I close the software and I open it again, it starts fastly
    Is there anything I can do to increase the performace of the 1st opening of the creative cloud software after the pc reboot

    First let me disclose that I am not an expert nor even much less. However I used to have this slow as a turtle opening of FF until I got rid of my antivirus software which at the time was Avast. I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials and have had no problems since. FF loads in 3 to 4 seconds!

  • Safari and software update won't connect with 10.6.5 and 10.6.6

    Downloaded 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to my 4 month old Macbookpro but safari and software update wouldn't connect. Camino worked fine. I'm back on 10.6.3. It works fine but I would like to update. Suggestion?

    In response to how did I update if safari and update didn't work with 10.5 and 10.6. Your question is silly. I updated from 10.6.4 and as I said Camino works fine and always has.

  • Safari and Software Update wont open anymore when connected to internet.

    My Safari and Software update and Internet Explorer cannot connect to the internet anymore after 4 years even when I'm connected to the internet... I once got a 'Posix 54' error message. Firefox does not have a problem!
    I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.2. Which I reinstalled just now, Xmas 07 and reinstalled all the software with no luck. I've wasted three days trying to solve this problem. Can any one help please. London UK.

  • Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.

    Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.

    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.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
    What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    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?
