Safari slow under Leopard -- ?

Anyone else having trouble with Safari 3.0.4 being slow? I get the spinning beach ball a bit too often, now and then it unexpectedly quits/must be forced quit, and it just generally seems really heavy.

This is happening to me as well and it appears to be related to the Flash Player when viewing video files. Sites like YouTube will not load at all but other flash content (Adobe.com for example) doesn't exhibit this issue. I am using the latest release candidate from labs.adobe.com and it did not fix the problem. The issues is not limited to Safari, I get the same issue in FireFox 2.0.0.8 as well. This maybe an Adobe issue. Below is the bug info that was generated from a Force Quit:

Safari slow under Mountain Lion

A friendly enquiry to the Apple Expert Community
After I have upgraded my LION configuraiton with the latest MOUNTAIN LION Release, Safari has become very slow in loading web pages. I am connected to a highly performing Internet DSL Link (VDSL 20kbit's DL / 2kBit's UL).
Under LION I had no problems in this area. Also I must mention; when using FIrfox under Mountain Lion (ML), the Internet and Web Page Loading Process is very fast!
What have I done for test purposes:
1) I deactivated all iCould services to see whether it would improve - no change - still slow
2) I Did a clean ML Installation with no software etc on it - from scratch - all patches loaded etc. - Safari STILL SLUGGISH !
Assumption:
There is a bug or new feature within ML, possibly the new combined URL and Search Bar feature (searching ahead, etc) which slows down the load of Web Pages... ?
Anyhow,
The results of my short tests give me a strong indication (proof) of, the slowness of Safari 6 under ML is not caused by mal user handling or buggy software installed, but an initial insufficiency of the first release of ML
Question:
Does anybody have already found a slution to the described problem?
many thanks for some feedback
Urs

Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Click the column headed Kind in the list of keychain items to arrange the list by kind. Look for certificates that are expired or invalid. Delete any you find.

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

Safari 3.04 Under Leopard Broken?

I've no idea whats going on here, but ever since my upgrade to Leopard, my Safari has been giving me a very hard time...
First Safari (and Mail) refuses to load any RSS feeds 100% of the time. For the life of me, not a single RSS feed will load for any sites (including RSS feeds on Apple.com)...
Now I've noticed that for some reason I cannot get on http://www.youtube.com
Every time I type the url in it automatically redirects to http://jp.youtube.com
I tried "Reseting Safari" clearing out all cookies and history, but it still does the same thing.
I've tried it hundreds of times but for some reason Safari under Leopard will NOT let me go to the normal page...
Firefox is exhibiting none of the Safari issues I'm having... None of these issues occurred prior to my update to Leopard. Is anybody else having these strange erratic issues with their Safari under Leopard??? Or is something very strange happening on my system???

Scratch the YouTube issue, as I finally figured out I can change my local (clicking the japanese flag in the upper right-hand corner & choosing the option with the globe)...
Its odd that YouTube was defaulting to the Japanese site even after I cleared my cookies out though... Has anybody else's done this???
This still doesn't tell me why I seem to be having my RSS issues though... At this point I may just format and do a clean install... :/

Has anyone ever encountered a "shockwave player error" window when deleting cookies in Safari preferences under privacy?

This window appears multiple times whenever I try to delete cookies. This afternoon, on the amazon.com site, the window kept opening and would not allow me to do anything else. I had to shut down my iMac and restart several times before I could get it working again. I have had this problem for a couple of years now(even when I was running previous operating systems). What is the deal here, and can it be fixed?

I was having the same problem after updating to the Safari 5.1.2 and noticed, also, that the cookies wren't really clearing... after opening preferences again (after clearing them), there would be a few that would be added back.
I think it's all related to a cookie issue that started with the safari update.
I went back to Safari 5.05 using Pacifier as it wouldn't install under Leopard 10.6.8 which I am running.

Lexmark Optra S 1250 - Working under Leopard

I wanted to let people know that the Lexmark Optra S 1250 printer can work under leopard (10.5.1). It was quite a (stressful) experience getting it working but here were the essential steps:
1. After installing 10.5.1, reinstall the latest Optra S printer driver.
2. Ensure the printer is connected and powered on - mine is connected using a USB to Parallel converter cable but could also use an Ethernet cable
3. In the 'Printer & Fax Preference pane click the "+" to add a new printer.
4. Let the search for the printer driver complete(by gosh it is extremely slow!)
5. Click "Add" and when the drop-down box starts looking for 'printer options', don't wait (it never completes) but click the "Configure" button. Select your options and then exit.
6. Hopefully the printer now shows up as added on the left side of the Preference pane.
7. Close and then Restart the computer. I couldn't get the printer to respond to print commands (drove me crazy!) until after I decided to shut down and restart the computer.
8. If you still have problems, you may need to go back to the Printer & Fax Preference Pane, control-click on the printer icon in the left side of the pane and select "Reset print system". After that, redo steps 1 to 7.
Good luck
Rudy

Explain #8.
Did you restart after adding the drivers?
If you open the System Profiler, under Firewire or Printers what do yo see?
(Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info/Firewire or Printer)
If it sees them then you know it's a configuration problem.

Snow Leopard slower than Leopard??

Hi
On 5 year old macbook with 1GB ram leopard was upgraded to snow.
Since the upgrade the macbook is going slower... What can be the reason for this?

Under some circumstances it's may be possible that Snow Leopard appears slower than Leopard. One technique to boost power in Snow Leopard is to transfer compressed data from the hard drive in to the RAM, Cache and CPU environment. Apples ulterior motive behind this idea was, that in the past the CPU performance grow bigger than the transfer performance from hard drives. In other words Apple thought that the additional benefit of transfer data quicker from a hard drive yield more profit than the cost the CPU have to "pay" to decompress the data. In an old system, e.g. with a single core CPU, this benefit maybe isn't present and the result maybe turns in the opposite direction and you notice a decrease of system performance.

Numbers is much more responsive under leopard

I am finding that Numbers is much more responsive under leopard... no longer an irritation waiting for the program to become usable after switching to it... still a bit more delay than there should be but much better.
Stephen

it seems to me to still be awfull slow for the most simple tasks like changing the number of decimals to display, changing it from 1 to 2 digits, on a table that is only 28 rows long and 2 columns wide, it takes about 2 minutes
I just tried creating a default table - 40-odd rows, 12 columns, and filled them all with pi(). Changing the number of decimal places for the whole table went very quickly - maybe 0.5 seconds.
I then tried filling with nearly all different numbers, with different numbers of decimals. Now changing the number of decimals takes several seconds each time.

Browsers display fonts "thicker" under Leopard!

Safari and FireFox both display Arial, Helvetica, and other fonts "thicker" under OS X 10.5 Leopard than under other OS.
However, the same fonts appear "thinner" under Leopard when view with Dreamweaver CS3, Word, and other non-browser apps. Font Book did not show any duplicate font in the system.
Is there a Leopard font setting that will enable Safari and FireFox to display these fonts the same way as Panther or XP?

Well it's not Leopard that is changing the fonts... it's Safari. You can change your viewing font in the Safari preference menu underneath the Appearance tab.

Safari on Snow Leopard

The Safari in Snow Leopard is so disappointing. Am facing problems like
- Pixelated images on some pictures on facebook (Working fine on Firefox)
- Not automatically downloading files

I have the same issue. Pages that were nearly instant before are now exceedingly slow (www.google.com, for example, takes about 7 seconds). I have several other computers on the same network that are either running Leopard or Windows that don't have this problem, so it's not a DNS issue. I've also verified that my network connection isn't saturated.
I've tried the following:
* Resetting Safari
* Emptying the cache
* Repairing permissions
* Deleting all subfolders of ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
* Deleting Downloads.plist, History.plist, and LastSession.plist
* Removing everything from both the system and account copies of the InputMethods and Internet Plugins folders
This should essentially be a clean install of Safari, but it is still exceedingly slow. Note that it's not consistent: it will load a page quickly then, 5 seconds later, the same page will take a very long time to load.
Sometimes, most of the items on the page will come in nearly instantaneously, but suddenly the page will stop loading for a good 5 to 10 seconds. Once that time elapses, the rest of the page suddenly downloads.
Does anyone have any ideas?

No "Convert to * Chinese Text" service in Safari for Snow Leopard

The services "convert to simplified chinese text" and "convert to simplified chinese text" don't seem to work in Safari under Snow Leopard. It works if you're in a text box, but not for text on the page itself (it worked under Leopard).
Is this a problem with my system, or do others have this problem too? Is a fix planned, or is this a "feature"? (sigh)
This is useful when reading webpages written in traditional (simplified) chinese for those who are better at reading simplified (traditional) characters.
Test it yourself:
Highlighting this traditional chinese character should allow you to access the "Convert to Simplified Chinese Text" service: 車
Highlighting this character should allow you to access the "Convert to Traditional Chinese Text" service: 车
Thanks

Is a fix planned,
Only Apple would know, and they never provide such info. Make sure you tell them you want this feature back via Safari > Report Bugs to Apple and

Spontaneous Intel iMac Reboot under Leopard

I have three upgraded machines running under Leopard, two MacBooks and one Intel iMac. On only the Intel iMac I am experienced what can best be described as spontaneous reboots. Suddenly while working (web browsing with Safari) the screen will blank, no sound and reboot to the login screen.
Has happened twice in the last two days ... anyone else seeing this problem? Solution?

Same sort of problem here. We use the machine primarily for viewing TV in the kitchen with eyeTV. There is no clear pattern to the reboots. This log shows the timestamps of recent reboots.

Since 11/29 all other apps but eyeTV have been turned and kept off. Two reboots since. We have eyeTV running on two other machines (iMac G5 and MacPro) with no problems so we do not believe the issue is that software. Will happily provide syslogs to Apple if they are interested.

Fans go faster under Leopard

G5 1.8DP 3,5GB/500GB
Under 10.4.11, the fans are quiet quiet. Under Leopard, they are about 200rpm faster and shows a tendency to rev-up for no reason. Just scrolling in Safari or moving a file could put the from 900rpm into 1600rpm.
I've tried to reset the PMU, zap PRAM, reset Open Firmware, clear caches. It happens both on a clean install and on an upgrade from 10.4.11.
I'm still keeping 10.4.11 as my main system, but I've done two test install of Leopard in two different partitions: a clean one and an upgrade over a cloned 10.4.11.

More info: laptop is in excellent condition (Mac genius called it "Like New") and it sits on my desk elevated from the wooden desk by 3 little stands keeping the underside cool with the back nice and clear for the fans.
Monitored temps with only Firefox running with a bunch of tabs:
HD: 29˚
CPU: 35˚
Airport Card: 26˚
Enclosure Base: 25˚
GPU diode: 44˚
GPU heatsink: 35˚

Fans are currently:

Would really like to have a quiet MacBook Pro again...

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

Workaround to import video in FCP 6.0.5 under Leopard

On behalf of a FCP user under Leopard with FCP 6.0.5 I would like to ask you how to import video from a Panasonic camcorder using some strange format. The workaround now is to import it on another machine under Snow Leopard with iMovie, export it as one .mov 'for computer use' and import it in FCP 6.0.5 on the Leopard machine. The video from the camcorder does not play under Leopard, probably because of the QT version 7.6.6.
The Panasonic camcorder has an SD card with video which is recognised as a Camera Archive. It has folders with a name like PRG001 containing files like MOV001.MOD and MOV001.MOI and PRG001.PGI.
Possibly there is some plugin, extention or other workaround?
It is currently too expensive to upgrade FCP 6.0.5 to the latest version, although the 2006 MacBook Pro with Intel might be able to run it. I was advised not to upgrade to Snow Leopard without upgrading FCP, because it will cause all kinds of trouble.

Although I would still need to buy the "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" to work with it, right? At least that is what MPEG Streamclip suggests when I try to open the MOVxxx.MOD files with it.
