Safari very slow in L.A. Times blogs

Safari is painfully slow on the L.A. Times blogs. Firefox works well. Here is a link that took at least two minutes to load. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/05/judge-halts-teachers-strike.html
Any suggestions on how to speed Safari up for this blog? I do have the latest version of Safari 3.

The link loaded normally for me. Is this the only site you are having problems with? Safari can be fussy about DNS settings. Try using OpenDns. These settings will speed page loading, provide an extra layer of anti-phishing protection and content filtering.

  • Videos won't stream (eg youtube) and safari very slow

    Hi, I have 2 problems and would really appreciate any help
    1 - safari very slow to open pages and has been like this for weeks. I have seen a solution to change to 'opendns' under System preferences > network > advanced tab but I cannot see an option for that. I think this may be my problem as Google always opens quickly. Can anyone elaborate on this solution?
    2 - Videos won't stream and just hang with circle (e.g on sites like youtube) which started about 1 week ago. Only thing I have done differently is watching megavideos on unknown site. I have tried the solutions given under other threads (e.g. deleting cache files and uninstalling and reinstalling adobe flash). This seemed to help slightly the first time I tried it but still took approx 60s to stream 1 minute video. Has now reverted back to not streaming.

    To set up a test account, open System Preferences > Accounts, click on the padlock icon to unlock it, then click on the "+" sign, name the account "test" and leave the password field blank, since you don't need the account that long; you can delete it later.
    Quit System Preferences, log out of the regular user account and into the test account, then try using Safari to load pages and videos to see if the problem continues there.
    Other things you can try in your regular user account that may help your problem or solve it are this:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
    4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

  • Back up is very slow on 2 tb time capsule. After 2 days only 60 gb of 320 gb completed. Have connected ethernet cable. Any suggestions?

    Back up is very slow on 2 tb time capsule. After 2 days only 60 gb of 320 gb completed. Have connected ethernet cable. Any suggestions?

    Yes, that's terribly slow.  You should get somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-24 GB/hour via Ethernet, assuming there isn't a lot of conflicting network traffic or your Mac's CPU is under very heavy load.
    Are you sure you're actually using the Ethernet connection, instead of WIFI?   To check, turn Airport off.  If the backup fails, it's on WIFI.  In that case, you need to set Ethernet as the "preferred" network, via System Preferences > Network.  Click the "gear" icon at the bottom of the sidebar and select Set Service order.  Then drag Ethernet above Airport.  When both Airport and Ethernet are on, that will make OSX select Ethernet over Airport.
    If that doesn't help, see #D2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Safari is very slow, needs a long time to open a website

    Hello there,
    I´m using the version Version 7.0.4 on my iMac. The download of websites is very slow. What can I do? Is there any possibilty to make the safari faster?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    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?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    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?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, 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?

  • Safari very slow downloading files

    When I bought my MacBook Pro in 2009 I used Safari for few days then I switched to Firefox, and the reason for that is that downloading any kind of files goes very slow to around 5 KB/s while downloading the same file in any other browser is so fast. Now after the release of Safari 4 I thought this problem could be solved but here again the exact same problem and I really love the new safari except that this problem is really annoying me. By the way browsing is working perfectly fine.
    I have a 2 Mpbs ADSL connection.
    any idea?

    Preference files retain information about the default and custom settings for a particular application. Also, they store information accumulated over time not directly related to a preference setting.
    In Safari's case, this retained and accumulated information comes from a variety of sources within and outside of Safari. For example, 3rd party add-ons, such as Glims, store information in the preference file pertinent to their operation and settings.
    Sometimes, corruption occurs if this information is incorrectly coded in the software. In that instance, as Safari accesses the preference file, it will crash due to a flaw in the data stream. Another example - updating Safari from one version to the next might trigger corruption if the 3rd party content within the preference file is not compatible with the new version's operation.

  • Safari very slow to load pages

    Someone who help me with my Safari. Always that I want to go to a new page my Safari is very slow to load that page. It's loading the page for a long time without opening. I have done everything to fix it, but nothing has worked.
    I have a Macbook Pro late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and my Safari is 8.0.3 version.
    Here is a capture of what happens

    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.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    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. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. 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.
    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?

    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?

  • OS 8.1 safari very slow offer upgrade.

    After upgrading my iPad Air, Safari seems very slow. While surfing the web, pages are slow loading. Pages with pictures keep trying to play catchup as I'm going down the page. I downloaded another browser and I don't have the same problem with that one. I've turned the iPad off and on, cleared the history, etc. to no avail. Anybody have any advice.

    Hi gloworm,
    If you are having an issue with the Safari web browser on your iPad performing slowly and you have already tried resetting the iPad, I would suggest the next step would be backing up any data you have on the iPad and then setting it up as a new device. See this article -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups

  • TS1398 since i have updated the latest software i am facing problem using wifi which is very very slow most of the time or wont connect at all was that update supposed to be for better or worse

    is apple product going down hill it seems their updates are creating a lot of problem now the wifi connection is really ******* me off it doesnt connect or even if it does its very very slow i used to love using iphone but i think its time to move on to something else they have taken everyone for granted

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Mark.
    I've never come across your first problem on any of the Apple notebooks I currently own (or have owned in the past). Then again, perhaps I'm not looking close enough.
    Have you compared it with any other 12" PowerBook? If not, perhaps you might be able to try that at a local store with units on display.
    Otherwise you might want to give AppleCare a call. Alternatively, if you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider near you (I don't know where you are located) then you can take it in to be checked.
    As for your second problem (uneven illumination), that has been known to afflict other notebooks. My own 15" PB has had its screen replaced on two occasions because of this. Depending on the severity, you might be able to get it replaced. Mine became so bad that the screen was effectively unusable.
    To be honest, here in the UK, I would actually try for a replacement PowerBook - if the problems were severe enough and also because your PB is still very new. However the consumer laws in your country (wherever that may be) might be very different to mine.

  • Very Slow VDI Client Login Time

    Hi,
    My environment contains two Hyper-V Servers for DCs, Connection Broker, RD-Web, and two Hyper-V servers as virtualization host to thin clients. All Hyper-V servers are only 35% utilized and all client VMs don't have a performance issue.
    After setting up the roles and creating the "Personalized Pools", I open the RD-Web, click on the collection and here it takes a very long time in securing connection part, then a warning message appears for the connection broker self-signed certificate,
    I accept it and again a very long time to open the VM.
    After searching the internet I figured out that I should install "PFX" certificates for the connection broker (SSO, Publisher). In my environment, we don't use a public certificate from trusted root CAs, however, we have our own "Enterprise
    Root CA".
    I then figured that I should create a certificate with the following attributes:
    Advanced Key Usage: Server Authentication, Client Authentication
    Key Usage: Data encipherment, Digital Signature, Key Agreement
    I created the certificate and imported it to the RD CB, however, the "securing connection" part was even slower than before, so I duplicated the "Computer" certificate, and configured 1024 bit certificate instead of the old one "2048".
    The "securing connection" part is taking half the time now, however it is still very long "+60 seconds" to open the VM.
    I still suspect that it is a certificate issue and not sure if I have done the correct certificate.
    Would anyone help in this case and providing the correct steps to install a certificate for the RD CB from internal CA.
    Thanks.

  • Iweb 08 hangs or very slow to start at times.

    Hi all
    Iweb 2.0.2 on mac osx 10.5.1 (leopard) at times very - very slow to start or quit - shown in activity monitor and "force quit" as "not responding". It does however eventually start and quit.
    This problem appeared out of the blue and occurred at the same time as an internet problem.
    After much grasping at straws I am now convinced that it is related to the internet problem (as strange as it may seem). During the hang, if I remove the ethernet cable (or start it without the cable) there is no problem. When the internet connection is ok - no problem.
    I unchecked the "auto update" preference in iweb but no difference.
    It almost seems that on startup and quit, iweb wants to communicate with god and cannot, so it gets all upset. (that's as techo as I can get here).
    Has anyone found this problem or have an answer - mind you all ok if the network is ok. I have sent a "failure report to apple" after the force quit.
    Paul

    Thanks for the reply
    ♦ a unique ssid : It is the case . I use Home as SSID for 2.4 Ghz and Home_5G for 5 Ghz

    ♦ a 5Ghz compatible adapter on the PC : I use an Intel 5100 adapter on my laptop  that do both 2.4 and 5 Ghz. I use the 5Ghz band on  my laptop  and the main family PC that is connected with a netgear WNDA4100 N900 adapter. All the  other PCs(5 in all) use 2.4Ghz . After disabling Wmm in QOS, i was not able to connect the 2 PCs using the 5Ghz band . They could connect using the 2.4 Ghz SSID though. Re-enabling Wmm allowed me to use 5Ghz again.
    I have the Youtube problem on both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz band. As i said when i reconnect my old netgear router, no problems at all.

  • Safari VERY slow on MacBook.

    My macbook has somewhat a lot memory left, but it seem that Safari has gotten slower. When i click on links, or try to use another tab for a link, it runs VERY slow for me, and sometimes wont even load. Is there anything i can do to speed up my browser?

    If Safari is slow in another User account, you more than likely have a system-wide issue. I would suggest an Archive and Install.

  • 3 year old iMac  running very slow, freezing all the time. Advice?

    My three year old iMac - 2.4Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, running Lion - is becoming almost totally useless. For many months it has been very slow, with multiple freezes, and then "force quits" on iPhoto and other applications.
    First, I tried to free up some space - i now have about 44GB free. Then I ran disk utility etc, Then I ugraded to Lion.
    But still I'm getting the same problems. Any suggestions?

    It sounds like your problems are more serious than a 'hardware upgrade' issue. My late 2008 MacBook 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM runs applications (and iPhoto) fine. In addition I have run OS X operating systems with little more than 5GB free hard drive space with no issue (being able to run advanced applications like Photoshop).
    My advice- if you have simply upgraded to Lion keeping all your systems settings and files intact then you may want to perform a 'clean install', you'll backup your important data/files in order to transfer them back again into Lion. You could even create a Time Machine Backup and use this to move only your data and applications back into your clean install of OS X Lion.

  • HT1338 my mac pro started running very slow not all the time it is only 2 months old

    My new macpro has been running very slow off and on (mostly on) it is only 2 months old I took it into the genius bar and they could not find anything wrong.  I took it home and it ran fine for a short while then started up again. I have watched activity monitor and can see no direct corellation.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Did you install anything new lately?
    Run any programs that purport to "clean", "speed up", or "optimize" your Mac
