Safari scrolling is very slow

I got my mac mini about 3 months ago and I had gotten used to using safari and everything worked perfect with it but now for the past 2 weeks is has gone unbelievably slow whilst scrolling as is jumps but only small ones and can take like 4 seconds to react. I have tried resetting safari and also uninstalling and downloading the latest one but still no look so now I have had to resort to google chrome but I dont like it and want safari back. Please can anyone help me out with this. It would be much appreciated. Thank you

See the "System Freezes Randomly after 10.6.3 Update" thread. This may reflect some of the problems you have seen. It certainly reflected the frustrations and crashes I was experiencing.
Apple recently (12 April 2010) released an 10.6.3 v1.1 Update (build 10D578). I downloaded ( http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 ) this latest update and it DOES solve my freezing problems. My iMac pro runs great now. I hope this information is useful.

I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Safari 6.05 very slow

Safari 6.05 very slow loading

Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
If that didn't help Safari load pages faster, try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
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.

Safari has gone very slow

Hi there
I have an iPod touch and have found that safari has gone really slow. It takes ages to load the page and zoom in and out also scrolling up and down. It al started when I let my kids aged 11 and 9 used it. They where not as careful as me when using it but I was supervising and they did not drop it or anything. I have rebooted it then reset it to factory settings in iTunes. I have taken off the apps that they put on there but it made no difference. It has been fine since ios 4 update came out so it had nothing to do with that. I always thought that safari was quite quick but now its unusable on some sites, manly sites with moving images. It is like there is not enough ram any more. I know its not the modem as the two computers that i have are just the same, pretty good and there both using safari. Its strange as my mobile phone with android did the same thing about 6 months ago and nether improved. The phone does it on any wifi and mobile network, so again it cant be the modem. Is there any thing I can do with the ipod to speed safari up, or is that it I cant use safari any more and use opera instead?
Thanks for any help

thanks both for the repliy
I now its not the network as its fine with everything else. Also I have already tried restoring the ipod with itunes and that didn't make any difference. I have now reset it like you said but that didn't work. Not sure what to do now maybe safari just want work like it use to. I forgot to say it is a second gen ipod touch so it is quite old now.
Any more help I would be very thankful for.

When i open safari it is very slow but once it has opened i can switch web sites very quick, can anyone tell me why.

I have a problem when i open Safari.it takes a few minutes to open, the home page opens but if i try to open ( say Amazon) it just sits there for more minutes before opening ,but once it has opened i can switch from web site to web site very quick.can anyone tell me why this and is there anything i can do to

Try changing the "Top Sites shows:" to the smallest number possible. Safari is loading these sites when its starts so it can give you an image of what the site looks like when you start blank new window. A smaller number of sites will make that quicker, assuming the top sites do not have a very slow site in the mix.

Images not loading, safari is being very slow.

Since yesterday all images on every website I visit aren't loading and generally Safari is very slow, I have force quited multiple times as well as restarting my macbookpro. I was considering deleting Safari and re-installing it however i'm not sure where I can re-install it from after deleting as it doesn't appear in App Store or online anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks, Anna.
Additional Info: my mac is only about 1 year old, I do have chrome but i find it a lot slower than Safari (until recently).

No need to delete Safari.
Safari 6?
Enable Develop menu
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Check mark in the box for " Enable Develop menu".
Click "Develop" menu in the Safari menu bar.
1. Click "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. If there is a checkmark next to "Disable Images" in the same dropdown, click on it remove it.
Best.

Safari and Gmail very slow

This may be a sign of Google releasing that BUZZ thing, but I have noticed gmail to very slow with Safari. Getting a lot of "still working" messages. I have BUZZ turned off. But I am assuming that BUZZ might be dragging their network down with high traffic.
Of course, I have reset safari, etc..

HI,
Gmail and Safari issues
According to Google, "Gmail users with Safari version 4.0.4 might encounter issues loading Gmail and other issues". This link has more info: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
Also, try Safari maintenance..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. **To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Repair disk permissions..
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Make sure the there's enough free disk space. Not enough will slow the drive down. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

In 10.7.5, Safari 6.05 very slow, crashes often. How can I reinstall?

Should I reinstall Safari? Mac OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.05. Safari freezes, crashes, or is very slow much of the time. This is becoming an increasing problem. Firefox works fine. I have a highspeed cable connection. Any help much appeciated.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Safari has become very slow the last few days, only on a few programs - google, youtube, wikipedia. Also mail is slow to send and receive.

Whether you are running Mac OS X 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 your system software is completely outdated.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Your Mac OS X needs to be at v10.6.8 / Safari should be 5.1.7
And make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Safari 4.1 very slow & not loading

Hi,
I'm running Safari 4.1 and it's very slow and pages don't load properly. I reset Safari with all of the options checked off and it's still the same. I've read several posts and I saw many different ideas and fixes but not sure which one would pertain to my situation. Any advice would be appreciated!

Welcome to the forums!
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
If you use a router, does it have the latest firmware installed?
Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
(An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
Also, third-party add-ons created for a previous version of Safari may cause problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
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.

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.

Latest update has my safari/firefox running very slow

I did the latest software update Monday night, and now my safari and firefox are very slow to load. I have raised the memory storage to 100 MB, tried the proxy thing (didn't work, so I put it back to where it was), tried clearing the cache, and I don't know what to do. I have a router with specific numbers, so I can't change that on the TCP thing.
Please help.

hawknelson wrote:
I added the DNS numbers and safari is working, but what about my slow Firefox?
Your system uses DNS for its internet connection, so if it helps Safari it should have the same effect on Firefox. If Firefox is having problems when Safari is not, that's a problem specific to that program and you might want to pursue that on the forums dedicated to its support.
