Sarfari using memory in the extreme making the mini very sluggish

After installing Yosemite, all is good except that the mini goes sluggish with Safari running.
As you see below, as soon as I quit Safari the pressure reduces to a normal level of activity and usage. Is there a fix or a solution to this problem?
Mac mini, Macmini5,2, ~ mid 2011, 4 gig Ram, 500 Mb storage

Thanks to you and LexSchellings for your kind help and in my efforts to replicate the problem, as is the case sometimes when someone who wants to help is watching, I was unable to replicate my problem.
The above were two screen shots I took prior to asking my question on this forum. I did see two items described as nobleworks.com and I know this to be a irreverent greeting card site, but I do not have any traces of it obvious in bookmarks or other forms after several searches. Perhaps, in a Library they resided. I was able to delete them or change them to Safari Web Content (after what you see above in another instance) - this is all to confusing. I given it up and changed the default browser to Firefox and then when returning home from work, changed the default back to Safari and began the attempt at sharing my discoveries. You are watching and trying to help so now I am not having the difficulty.
I will certainly use the EtreCheck next time should difficulties occur again. I have been a mac guy since '88 and this oddity never occurred to me before.
Thank you.

Thanks for the info, this really helps.
Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
It might be possible to use wireless to configure the Extreme, but I recommend using a wired connection. Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The illustration below shows an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme on your screen.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Extreme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures things for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
You can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the set up now. Things should be working. The Extreme is providing additional wireless coverage the the Ethernet ports are enabled. You can connect to any port that you want since they all operate the same in this type of setup.

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an appe extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down? Should I dump it an get the new n version?

yes it is likely to be slowing down the network because you are using 802.11b/g
from what i recall with b/g a slow client can slow down the entire network to that clients speed.
this was the major improvement with 802.11n and Mimo. each client can be connected to the access point without affecting your speed to the rest of the network
its reccomended to get all new "N" equipment if you have the budget for it. some of those old airports and time capsules can still be worth something on amazon marketplace so you might be able to sell them
if you want to create / join / extend a netwowrk your going to probably need all "n" based equipment.
buy the new 4th generation time capsule or the new 5th generation airport they have better stronger radios
in the mean time configure your base station router to a high multicast rate, so it will prevent devices connecting to it at 1-2 mbps speeds and slowing down your network
if you have an apple care covered mac remember the airport / time capsule rule. all airports and time capsules purchased 2 years before you bought your mac to the 3 years of apple care covers them. if you do not have apple care then the standard warranty applies

The server did not find the resource you asked for.
You might want to make sure your emulator is connected to the internet and can go online.

Can I use an American Airport Extreme in the UK?

Hi guys,
I bought an Airport Extreme in the US sometime ago. I never managed to get it to work and gave up. My Wireless has gone down so I thought I would give it another go. Still can't get it to work.
Will a USA airport extreme work in UK?
I have updated firmware to version 7.4.2
The big issue I think is on the wireless options page I can only select America, Canada or a bunch of South American counties. Do the US have different wifi signals to UK?
Is there anyway of over writing the firmware with UK firmware?
Is it not any of the above and maybe I am just setting it up wrong?
Please help,
thanks.
Jamie

Welcome to the discussions!
+Will a USA airport extreme work in UK?+
Yes
+Do the US have different wifi signals to UK?+
Yes. UK uses channels 1-13. US uses 1-11. You won't be able to use 12 and 13 on your AirPort Extreme. I'm not sure about 5 GHz channels if you plan to use that frequency.
+Is there anyway of over writing the firmware with UK firmware?+
No
+maybe I am just setting it up wrong?+
If you can tell us what modem (make and model number) you are using with the AirPort Extreme, we may be able to help with the setup.

The program making the flat txt file when creating payment proposal...

Hello everybody!
Do you know what is the program used by trx F110 (Automatic Payment transactions) to create the flat text file in the Operating System? I know that, in case of a payment method 'C' (check), SAP can print the check using the programs that appear at Printout/data medium tab (listed in the Form printing/DME box). But the issue is that the check is printing the street address of the vendor, not the one of the ALTERNATIVE PAYEE, in this case the payee is one of the vendor customers, but the check does not print the customer address.
I would be glad if I could find the txt file creator program, due the information is sent to the printing program is at this file, so I become able to investigate the behavior of the program. Further beyond: do you know why F110 is not able to print the address of a customer of the vendor when making checks with alternative payee being one of their customers? Thank you and regards!

Hi guys:
Jeje, there was not standard program that made the txt file, but a Z program. The FI functional was able to locate it and then I modified it. Thank you anyway.

Does the extreme take the place of my wireless router?

Hi,
Does the Airport Extreme replace my wireless router or does it work off my existing wireless system? Will my Mac Mini also recognise it and allow my Mac Mini to be accessed on the wireless network?

First, I would reiterate what previous posters have suggested, using a browser besides Safari. I know first hand that Safari does not play well with Belkin gear.
If not, try this:
1. Finder>applications>Utilities>network Utilities.app
2. Use the "traceroute" function and use something like www.google.com. Most likely the first IP returned is your gateway.
3. Use the "port scan" function to scan all ports using the IP above (leave the field blank) and check the returned ports. Almost all routers use port 80 but some may be configured to use 8080, 443 or some user defined port.
4. Try connecting to the router by typing http://192.168.1.1:8080 for example using the ip address of the gateway and the ports retuned by the tools separated by a colon. Also try https://x.x.x.x The router may have been set to only connect using ssl/tls via port 443
5. If none of this works you could try doing a factory restore which will be outlined in the manual for the router. Just be advised that any configuration currently in the router will be lost for good.
Good luck. If any of this doesn't work post back for more ideas.

Why does both the firefox and the plug-in use over 1gb ram of my computer memory? It is making the whole computer extremly slow and you should do something about it, or make it possible to download FireFox 3,6

FireFox 3,6 was only using 400mb or so. When I got FireFox 4 it all have been much more than that, almost everytime I use firefox. The plugin is using more than it should, no matter how few tabs I have open it still will not make the number go any lower. I can almost not use my computer because of this.

Don't know if it is your problem, but your Adobe Flash plug-in at 10.2.159.* is not up to date. You current one today is 10.3.181.22 for Firefox users. And not being up-to-date with Flash has a lot of problems.

TS4079 When I try to post to facebook using Siri, she switches to making the post a tweet?

Hi, despite Siri asking what I'd like to post on Facebook, as soon as I've spoken the message, she asks if I'm ready to send as a tweet. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Never-mind. I found out what's causing this issue. On Twitter's website support page, I found this: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20156423-posting-photos-on-twitter it gives info about posting photos on Twitter; well, it says: "photos must be 5 MB or lower, and GIF's must be 6 MB or lower".
Please share this info to all Mac, or iDevice users who are having this issue. Thank you!

Does the person receiving the call pay or the person making the call, or both?

I now have the prepaid plan that is $0.99 on days I want to use my phone and Verizon mobile to mobile includes unlimited minutes. Can I call my girlfriend who has a Verizon cell phone and pay the $0.99 and she will not be charged per minute? Incoming calls don't charge the receiving party, do they?

If she has Verizon then it would count under mobile to mobile so your good.

I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phyllis

I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
Connect Using = Ethernet (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

HT1178 I just bought an Airport Time Capsule. I already have a AirportExtreme for my wireless network for my home. Which would be better; connect the time capsule up to the extreme or use it as the primary base station?

Is it better to connect my Time Capsule up to my existing wireless network or use the Airport Time Capsule as the base unit and start over again by creating a new network?

There is no end of answers to this..
But if you want AC wireless.. assuming you bought a new TC.. and the Extreme is the older N model.. then simply make sure the TC is as close as possible to where wireless AC client will be used.. and connect it back to the main router whichever that is, by ethernet.
If both are AC then it will make no difference.
As long as you can connect them both by ethernet and not use wireless extend.. it won't make much difference.
The worst case is where you use wireless extend and expect high speed but totally lose it because of your bridge link.. if that is the case you wasted your money and you can return the TC and buy a hard disk and plug it into the AE.

Using an Airport Express to extend the range of my Airport Extreme.

i've just bought an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express so i can connect my MacBook in my bedroom (second floor) to the DSL modem in the basement.
i was able to configure the Extreme as a base station but cannot figure out how to configure the Express to use as a relay.
no matter what i do, i cannot get the Express to show up in the Airport Utility, even when i have it powered in right beside the Extreme base station in the basement.
please help!

I have found that you need to have an Ethernet cord connecting the Airport Express to your Mac to set up the Express to work on WDS with your Extreme. Once it is set up, you should be able to see both the Extreme and the Express wirelessly, but for setup you need the wire to the Express.
