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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Why is my MacBook Pro very slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.5. - Solutions?

    Hello, hello
    After waiting quite a while - I paid the relatively small amount, and got myselves a new OS.
    But I am very disappointed of the speed - I see that this also was a problem with OS Lion?
    Please assist me. Perhaps others have this problem as well?
    Some info:
    - 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    - 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Also
    - Sometimes I run the Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 software, does this affect specs of the new OS?
    Hope to hear from you guys.
    Sincerely,
    Harald

    With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
    I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
    Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

  • Why can I no longer run Microsoft Office after downloading Mountain Lion?

    I recently made the jump from snow leopard to mountain lion the other day. After the installation of mountain lion was complete I noticed a number of my applications were no longer useable. The most noticeable ones were anything under microsoft office. I have been using the 2004 version of Microsoft Office  on this Mac without a single problem for four years until Mountain Lion was installed. Now when I try to open it a message pops up saying PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I was wondering if others were having the same problem or there was a solution to fix this.
    Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    PowerPC applications aren't supported in Mountain Lion. What does it mean? You have to update all your programs to an Intel edition. You can use Office 2008 or 2011, try iWork in the App Store or use LibreOffice

  • My safari did not change after downloading mountain lion

    I thought everying was suppose to look the same on all devices with Mountain Lion? on my ipad and iphone safari did not change.

    What do you mean by "look the same"?
    Installing Mountain Lion on your Mac does not change the visual appearance of the Safari app on your iPad and iPhone. In fact, installing Mountain Lion does nothing at all to your iOS devices.

  • Is anyone else's computer running very slow after upgrading to Lion?

    I just upgraded to Lion-- had no problems with speed before, now websites take forever to load-- anyone else encounter this??  Any fixes??

    Check Activity Monitor and sort by %CPU to see if any processes are hogging memory.
    If mds and mdshelper are hard at work, that's Spotlight indexing, and after a few hours things should speed-up.
    Also try Safari->Reset Safari

  • Safari is now VERY slow after downloading Lion

    My Safari (which is the latest version) is now VERY slow after downloading Lion.  It takes forever for anything to load, and some pages don't load at all anymore.  Any way to fix this?  It is very frustrating!

    I've just made a change to try to keep the wifi from crashing and it also seems to give me a speed boost online.
    Go into your System Preferences, choose Network, and then in that dialog box choose "Advanced..."
    Once there, select the DNS tab.
    Click the plus sign and add the following to your list of DNS servers:
    8.8.8.8
    It's Google's public DNS and seems to have fixed both the dropping and speed issues.

  • Macbook pro running super slow after downloading Lion

    My mac book pro is running super slow after downloading Lion. Its so slow and all I see is the beach ball wait icon. Also my safari and firefox internet apps crash like crazy. What can I do? Hate it!

    Hi,
    I also have this problem. My MacBook pro was brand new in august, but i bought it just a few days before the release of lion so i installed lion after i bought it. Only used it 1 day with whatever was on it before and seemed to work fine.
    Ive been too busy to do anything about it but im very annoyed by how slow it is so i have to do something now, what can I do? can someone help with some specific steps? someone posted something about changing the network settings but I wasnt sure if that applied in europe (spain)... any guideance in non-technical terms please?
    THANK YOUUU

  • My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

    My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
    It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
    I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
    I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
    All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.
