..SAFARI slow and sticking when opening...

....when opening it's slow and "STICKS" then suddenly opens completely, quite annoying as you navigate pages...was working fine until beginning of this week. Any ideas about this? Thanks

Try this:
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.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

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.

I only posted the other post because I hadnt anticipated getting such a quick responce from you , Im on a tight deadline for work and I needed to get this problem sorted a.s.a.p, I didnt think that anybody else would hop onto this discussion Anyway heres the output I get

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages can i uninstall

I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

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 not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
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 Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off 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?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, 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?

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

My ipad 2 is really slow and it wont open app store or safari

my ipad 2 is really slow and it wont open app store or safari but i dont understand why?

Or a reset of the iPad?
Reset 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.

On my iPad Air Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow.

On my iPad Air , Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow on an internet site. Sometimes it doesn't crash but the slideshow is freezes. Any idea why?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

Bridge is slow and lags when selecting multiple files to open.

I currently have CS6 latest version (ver. 13.0 x64)
My problem is in my Bridge software (5.0.2.4 x64)
I have been getting a 4 or 5 second delay when trying to
select multiple files or navigating through the menu and functions.
(Photoshop also delays a few seconds when opening a file.)
After trying different solutions, I have narrowed my best guess to a
conflict with my video card or drivers.
I have a PC running win 7 64 bit. 12 gb of ram, an ATI radion 3000 video card with the
latest driver. An AMD phenom quad processor.
All of my drivers and software is up to date, including my Windows 7.
No other software on my computer gives me any LAG time or problems.

You need a better video card. You card rates a passmark score of 106. You probably need one at least of 500 and closer to 1000 is good. You get a card above this score you start paying more and getting less. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/

Slow and 'sticking' internet after move to 10.6

More or less after a recent upgrade from 10.5.x to 10.6.4, I have an intermittently slow and 'stuck' internet connection.
I connect to the internet via ethernet to a Netgear WGR614v5 router and thence to a Virgin Media cable modem.
What generally happens now is: open browser; first couple of sites connect fine; third site, Safari's progress bar 'sticks' part way across and the status bar stays on "contacting xxx.com". I then tear out what's left of my hair and have to wait a while before the process starts again.
Please help!

hi folks ~ sorry for cross posting but I noticed this thread after the fact..
I am glad you are having similar issues...
When behind a NATing firewall (openSuseLinux 11.2 routerfirewall in CLASS C config) and using static-IP, my mac-mini can not access the internet. But when connected directly to the internet cable - it works fine with my ISP's staticIP and DNS options... {it appears to me that the SnowLeopard server seems to not like being a passive HomeLAN IP client... }
.. I doubt that per se there's a problem with my linux router/firewall...I've been using it reliably for other devices.. could it be SL doing something 'special'?

Safari freezes and won't open pages

Hi, I have been suffering from Safari freezing whilst opening the homepage, and then when click on any links it just stops loading anything. My homepage has been set to yahoo.co.uk, which partially opens, but then seems to not want to load images. The text and links show, but the links just don't react when clicked on. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I also have IE installed, which is fine, but I want to migrate to Safari for web use as more and more sites are recommending it.
Can anyone help?
I also have an iTunes problem, which may or may not be related, but I'll post that in the relevant discussion.

Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

GT70 internet very slow and sluggish when waking from sleep

My GT70 sometimes is very slow and sluggish to respond when it is awoken from sleep mode. Browsers become unresponsive (hyperlinks don't register as links and require multiple clicks to respond) and internet gets very slow. Speedtest.net reports .50-3mb/s when it is usually 24mb/s and above. The hdd also thrashes about and won't calm down for what seems like an eternity.
This only happens when opening the lid after the machine sits idle for several hours. This is fixed by restarting the machine.
Does anyone know why this laptop would be behaving like this? it is very frustrating and makes sleep mode pretty much useless.
cheers,

First thing I would do is get CPU-Z and open that after wake-up and seeing if the CPU is running at the speed expected, or if it's stuck at some lower speed.
thanks for the reply. will try that next time it happens.

Safari slows and crashes on old imac

I have an 8 year old imac with a problem that I think might be caused by adobe flash player. I spoke to the people at Apple's technical help line and they said it sounded like something with adobe flash player.
The problem seems to have 2 symptoms.
One is that safari keeps crashing. It seems to happen a lot when watching videos or any page with a lot of animation. For example when I was trying to watch a page with a house floorplan I got the "spinning beachball" and finally had to force quit and then got a message saying "the application safari quit while unresponsive." When watching a slideshow on Flickr safari suddenly quit and I got the message "The application safari quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the flash player plug-in." I get similar crashes and messages when watching Youtube or looking at the web sites of various newspapers or radio stations. The other night for the first time I was watching some video using safari and got the message "A script in this movie is causing adobe flash player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
The other problem is that something is causing safari to slow to a crawl. It doesn't seem to happen with any other applications. It is especially bad when watching videos such as Youtube. I can only watch youtube in the lowest resolution and smallest screen and then it is stop and go motion with long stops in between action. I used the Activity Monitor application to try to see what was going on. I don't understand most of it, but in the part that shows the percent of CPU being used, when I watch youtube, or almost any time safari slows to a crawl, the percent of CPU being used shoots right up to 100% and stays there. It seems something is hogging all the CPU.
Is this a problem with flash player? Some people suggested I uninstall flash player and then download and install the latest version. If I am reading it correctly it appears that because my imac is old I cannot use the latest version of flash player. I looked at the adobe web site and only saw pages for downloading flash player for intel macs. I don't know what version of flash player my computer can use and I don't know where on the web site to find out nor where to download it. I saw a page for "Archived Flash Player versions" but I wasn't sure if this was for Mac or Windows. It also had "debugger" versions. I don't know what that is. Someone also suggested after uninstalling and installing flash player that I repair disc permissions. Is that right?
My imac is a 1GHz PowerPC G4 with 1GB of RAM. The operating system is OS 10.5.8 According to the page on Adobe's website that shows the version of flash player that is on my computer I have MAC 10,1,102,64. My safari version is 5.0.5.
Despite my imac being 8 years old it has worked almost flawlessly the whole time, other than this one problem. It would be great if I could get it back into good working order. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

that's what i use on mine, works-no problems. keep in mind if you insert the dongle you can unplug the wire to your keyboard. you'll be no worse off than you are now.
