Safari tab opening is very slow with graphic distortion

When i open a new tab in safari, it takes quite sometime to open up, and when it does there is graphic distortion while showing the top sites. Sometimes safari hangs during the tab opening and might also crash. i recently brought the macbook, its been less than a month and this problem has been there since the beginning.
when i checked out the bugs fixed in 10.6.2 this bug for graphic distortion was supposed to have been fix, looks like this that hasn't happened for me. my mac is up to date.

Ok... try 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.

Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or 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. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Relalunch Safari. If the distortion is still visible, go to ~/Library/Safari and move the TopSites.plist file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. If the distortion remains, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

    One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
    Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
    Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
    Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
    So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
    Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

  • Safari 5.0.5 very slow to load.

    safari 5.0.5 has suddenly started to become very slow with either the page taking an age to load or the page loads but the spinning wheel just carries on for ever at the end of the address bar, so if you open up another tab the thing grinds to a halt. I ve looked through all the solutions in the forum and every thing is fine apart from there is no com.apple.safari.plist folder anywhere. Also I ve tried firefox and thats equally as slow, so I tried chrome thats faster but hangs now and again. All software is bang up to date. It is nt my router because it downloads at lightening speed with files etc. Can anyone help please.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Right or control click your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click: Get Info. In the Get Info panel, where you see capacity and available, make sure you have minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If that doesn't help, try Safari in another user account. Same problems there then log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk. (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 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?

  • Imac  is very slow with downloading mail

    My imac is the ast weeks very slow with downlaoading mail.
    I am using mail 5.3 from apple
    Nothing has recently been chanched in my internet setting or internet speed
    Anybody an idea what can be wrong?

    Hi, I worked out what you recommended, but I do not see any difference at speed.
    Mail starts normal, though that is also somewhat slow,
    Before it has finished downloading mail (even is there os no mail!) it takes sometimes 2 minutes!
    Also there was no"boing"when starting up, with following your procedure, is it normal?

  • AE CS6 very slow with footage

    Hi guys,
    I am using AE Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a new Macbook Pro with these specs:
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris 1536 MB
    The problem I am having is that when imported footage is visible as footage or a layer, AE becomes very slow with every click of the mouse on either the timeline or the footage in the viewer itself causing the color wheel to appear, often for 30 seconds at a time. Strangely, dealing with the composition has no issues.
    Any ideas guys?
    Thanks in advance

    Try transcoding the footage to a production codec and see if that makes a difference.
    Like, use the Adobe Media Encoder to make them something like QuickTime with the PhotoJPEG codec.
    See if that helps with the performance.

    Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

  • Ftp.belnet.be mirror very slow with updates

    The mirror that is closest to my location, ftp.belnet.be , seems to be very slow with updates for AL.
    XFCE4 was updated to 4.2.3 around nov 10 on archlinux.org.
    11 days later xfce4 4.2.2 is still on belnet , and not replaced by the new version.
    Since it's also a fast and reliable server, i don't mind waiting a few days, but more than a week is TOO long.
    What's the use of a bleeding edge distribution when you can't get updates that have been available for more than a week ?
    For now, i have fallen back on archlinux.org , but will look for another european server.

    In contrast with the name, that server doesn't seem to have ANY arch packages anymore.
