When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying

Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

TS3474 I play music but it takes ages to load and I only have 250MB of data for music

When I use my iPod I have 3.3GB left memory on a 8GB iPod touch 4th generation and when I play my music it always takes ages to load. I have deleted loads of stuff and I only have 250MB of music but it still takes ages. Why does this happen?

What do you mean by: "it always takes ages to load"?
Withut more specific information all I can suggest is the standard fixes:
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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Google, Facebook etc take ages to load on Safari (and Firefox)

There have been a few threads on this issue...but none seem to have a solution that works for us.
We have two laptops (MacBook (MB) and MacBook Pro (MBP)) using an airport wireless. The MP has all of a sudden decided that google and facebook will not load up straight away like they have always done in the past...they take ages to load up (we are talking "go get a coffee..and read the newspaper" times). Other websites just fire up as fast as ever. All sites fire up super fast on the MBP.
What we have tried:
1. Rebooted the modem, wireless router and computers
2. Reset Safari, deleted and reinstalled Firefox 4.0.1. Wiped out all caches , cookies etc
3. Restored entire computer from time tunnel from a month ago...when life was good!
4.. Changed/added DNS numbers to airport (via airport utilities) and change the airport settings (using openDNS numbers).
5. Flushed the DNS resolver caches...
Still no good....
What are we missing? What can the MB have to cause the issue that the MPB does not?
MB is on OSX 10.5.8
MBP is on OSX 10.6.7
Please help...my wife uses the MB and is angry that her beloved Facebook and Google are just not working

Ok.. from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If it's not Extensions... try troubleshooting Safari third party add ons.
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

AI CC and CC 2014 Freeze at startup or it takes ages to load

Since the last update (which I of course applied as a modest designer) AI CC takes ages to load or doesn't load at all after almost 6 minutes of showing "Initializing...." screen. I have a DELL Laptop with Core i7 processor and 8 Gigs of RAM plus I run Windows 7 from a SSD disk. Prior to this fantastic update Illustrator ran fine. Is there something I can do or to revert back to previous, not-that-advanced version?
Any help will be appreciated.

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

Hi!
I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester.

My MacBook Pro would take AGES to load

My MacBook Pro takes absolutely ages to load and after an hour. The  logo disappears and the loading icon disappeared and came back. I have no idea why but I am frustrated with my MacBook. I think I need a refund.

Is your MBP new? less than 14 days from purchase? If so you can get a full refund, or swap it out for a new machine.
There is something clearly wrong with the machine, if you are past the 14 day limit, you still have a 1 year warranty (additional 2 years if you purchased AppleCare)
Bring it back to the store, it could be something as simple as having to reload the OSX, or something more insidious as a hardware problem. (Just like other products, some "lemons do get thru")
Take full advantage of your warranty.

Every time Firefox opened

Try a clean install of Firefox on your Linux machine.
# Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
# Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
*Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
3. [www.getfirefox.com Download Firefox] again and install it
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux Installing Firefox in Linux]
If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.

Macbook 2.2ghz Leopard wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet??) also safari and chrome take ages to open and frequently crash. Help!

Here goes...
1) I have a Macbook 2.2ghz (early 2008) running Leopard 10.5.8 which wont auto update (says it cant connect to internet even though it is - error says A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.) Network diagnostcs says that im connected to the intermet.
2) Also safari and chrome take ages to load pages when every time I open them (around 45 seconds) and then when they are running safari will randomly close and chrome will come up with the aw snap message for random pages (doesnt matter if its trying to loas flash or not).
Iv got Sophos anti virus which is saying theres no malware or viruses, also tried restartiing, re downloading chrome, deleteing my profile from chrome, exporting, deleting and then importing bookmarks and hardwiring the latop to the router. None of these fixed the issues.
Never had these issues and they are really getting on my nerves! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks but just tried and does nothing, i read somewhere it could be to do with proxy settings? even though though i havnt changed them?? couldnt work out how to do it on a mac, could this be the problem?
