Slow at initial loading of some Pages - and iTunes Store is slow as well...

Hi all,
Since some days, I noticed that Safari loads some of the pages very slowly, such as Ebay, Appleinsider, and also Apple.com. Once you are on a page, the navigation inside is mostly quite normal - also the download speed is within it's usual range. But inital loading of a lot of sites takes almost a minute's time. Also iTunes Store loads very very slowly. I freshly installed 10.4.8 recently to (successfully) fix another problem I had with my AirportExpress, so I frankly would not know what setting might be affected here. Did anyone experience the same issues? Thanks a lot.

Hi Dave,
Network type problems have been reported with 10.4.8. The usual remedy has been either to "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utility folder, or to reapply the 10.4.8 combined update, applying permissions after the install/restart.
One other remedy for Network type problems that has seemed to help others:
Go to your System Preferences>Network panel: make sure in the Show drop down menu in Network Configuration, your primary cable protocol, in your case "airport" is first on the list (you can drag it there). Other protocols you don't use ought to be unchecked. Then in the Show menu, select "airport". In the airport panel remove any wi-fi locations you don't use (if you travel and use wi-fi, there's a tendency to accumulate these things). Lastly, in the TCP panel>DNS servers, enter 4.2.2.2, which is a Verizon number available to the public. Select "apply".
One last thing, make sure your Airport version is up-to-date - 6.3. You can check this via Software Update in System Preferences.

  • Unable to load web pages and iTunes store

    Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.2, I am unable to surf the web or even access my iTunes Store. Is anyone else facing this issue?

    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 in OS X 10.9 or earlier, 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.

  • My PURCHASED page doesn't load on my iOS6 devices while loading fine on  iOS5 and  iTune on PC.

    My PURCHASED page doesn't load on my iOS6 devices while loading fine on  iOS5 and  iTune on PC.
    Please help
    In addition,  my RESTORE of purchase for Inn App Purchase of "Art Sense"  doesn't work on both iOS5 and iOS6.
    So far, the developer said his app is working ok and can do nothing because he can do nothing. Apple won;t allow.
    *** Apple staff from Asia and other places can't help me and can't identifiy the problem so far. ***
    Such a shame.
    I am not a novice in internet or iOS devices.
    Have tried all elementary methods in my opinion, factory reset etc...all waste of time.
    Apple system is deteriorating in every direction.

  • Just bought a Macbook air.  Isn't it supposed to come loaded with Numbers, Pages and other basic software?

    Just bought a MacBook Air.  Isn't is supposed to come loaded with Numbers, Pages and other basic software?  I can't find these.  Can anyone help?

    It comes with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, but not with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You have to download them from the Mac App Store.
    Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and accept all these apps, so they will be downloaded and installed free of charge.
    If you cannot download them, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

  • TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never  open, the internet nev    er works and it is always  loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

    my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    I downloaded a new version of Itunes on my PC now some songs and videos have stopped working as well as ringtones have disappeared.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

    I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I found the answer for real.  I called apple and talked to some dude.  All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it.  thats the  bug, thats it.
    go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done...   then try and buy your music...  if you have a gift card or whatever.   if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
    it worked for me i hope it works for you.

    My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either.  Why?

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
    What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
    What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
    Did you install or upgrade software?
    Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
    Are other programs also behaving buggie?
    Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
    Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
    How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
    Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...
