Slow Loading from Internet

It takes forever to load an internet page (this one took at least 2 minutes). I thought it was a bad line or something, but I just bought my son a new iBook to start University next week. We connected through the same system and provider that this computer is using and had no problems with his computer.
I have dumped cookies, emptied the cache, and cleared the history, BUT it still is slow.
What can I do to speed things up?
Thanks for all suggestions.

Dave, according to the Apple specifications for a 333 MHz iMac, the maximum RAM would be 256 MB (two slots for two 128 MB chips), so I don't know how they gave you the 512 MB figure. As far as the rendering of web pages go, the extra RAM might help some but the limiting factor is the 8 MB video RAM. Nowdays web pages are being designed for computers with 32 MB or more video RAM. But if you don't need the graphics capability of a really fast computer, the cost of adding RAM might be acceptable hoping the hard drive and ROM drive hold up for several more years. The other way to improve performance on the Mac OS 8.6 is to allocate more RAM memory to the internet-related extensions and applications.

  • Slow loading from internal HD

    My iMac seems to have started taking ages to load so I tried loading from an external Firewire drive (a copy of the iMac HD made using SuperDuper Backup).
    The results were as follows (approx):
    1) From entering password to answering mouse click
    iMac internal HD 1min 50 secs
    Firewire HD 25 secs
    2) Loading Firefox
    iMac internal drive 2 min 40 secs
    Firewire HD 25 secs
    I would have expected the results to be the other way round. I am right in thinking that an internal drive should be quicker?
    Disk utility doesn't report any faults and I've tried erasing and reinstalling the internal HD but with similar results.
    Does this mean that the internal drive is about to fail or is there some other explanation?
    I'm using a 700 Mhz PPC G4 with 384 MB SDRAM and Mac OS X 10.4.11

    Those symptoms can also suggest a too-full hard drive. This is especially noticeable if you have only a small amount of physical RAM installed (384MB is a bit small for 10.4 IMHO--I prefer a min of 512MB for that OS version).
    Low RAM means the system wants to write data to the hard drive. If the hard drive is too full, Virtual Memory takes longer find the qualifying storage blocks it needs. If it consistently can't find proper blocks on the hard drive, you can get a crash.
    You should take a look at the list of articles on this site:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    It's an excellent resource. Focus on those articles with "maintenance" and "troubleshooting" in the title.

  • Slow Loading of Internet Pages

    I am new to Mac's. Just bout my MacBook Pro on Monday. So, far I like it a lot, but it seems to take forever for internet pages to load.
    I checked my download and upload speeds on DSLreports.com and it said I had 5 meg and .75 meg, respectively.
    Why does it take so long to load?
    Thanks,
    Alina

    Don't know, but suggest running Software Update under System Preferences, installing all updates, and repeating until none show up. Once that's done, launch Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities/, select the boot volume, and repair permissions. Restart and see if that fixes things. BTW, meg what? bits or bytes? Do note that you'll get better results checking at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ than at DSL reports.

  • Firefox Hangs every opening, but loads from internet to "home".

    After downloading Windows Live Essentials 2011 Firefox (and Windows Explorer) hangs on opening every time though it is my primary start page. I can open it by internet access (i.e. windows update) back to "home". Are there problems with live essentials?

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    Also, if you have some kind of security software installed which scans links like AVG Safe Search, AVG Link Scanner, McAfee Secure Search, McAfee Site Advisor, or some other kind of anti-phishing tool, try disabling it.

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

  • My email is extremely slow to load from my 4 separate accounts.  One of the accounts goes off line all the time.  It is not a service provider issue.  I think my passwords and ports may be all mixed up because I tried to adjust it myself.  How can I fix?

    My email is very slow to load from 4 separate accounts.  I think I messed up ports and SSL when I tried to fix it.  How do I fix this?

    Hello Mary,
    You may have multiple entries.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

  • Safari now slow loading pages from Apple!

    This is an add on from a future post today with this problem. Safari slow loading pages, NOW even slow loading Apple pages here on the discussion board.

    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.
    Background information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Images not loading while accessing portal from internet

    Hi all
      we are trying to publish the portal on internet. We have used  apache as reverse proxy  and it is in dmz .
    When we access the portal from internet we are getting the  login page  but it is with out images (e.g branding imag etc).
    we also could login  in the portal but we only see  the links for  Help  Personalize  Log off  , Histrory Back  and Forward  remaining page is blank.
    Is this reverse proxy configuration issue?
    Can any body help us in resolving this issue. 
    Regards
    Rajendra.

    Hi Rajendra/Experts,
    We are currently working on custom webdynpro application which needs to be exposed to Internet using Apache HTTP Server.
    We can able to access URL, but no images are getting displayed and also the application not functioning when we click any button/links.
    Below is HTTPD file configuration
    ProxyPass /esampleApp http://hostname:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/esampUI/ESamplingApp
    ProxyPassReverse /esampleApp  http://hostname:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/esampUI/ESamplingApp
    when we look in to images URL which is being called from Apache we  found out "webdynpro" is missing in the URL.
    Actual URL in Portal Server: (working)
    http://portalhostname:port/webdynpro/resources/local/esampUI/Components/esampling.ui.ESamplingComp/logo.gif
    Apache URL:

    Please suggest.
    Thanks

  • Video downloads from internet are so slow with Quicktime, any remedies?

    Downloads are so slow with Quicktime. Quicktime diagnostics say nothing is wrong. I can put my other Inspiron next to each other and download and this one takes forever. This signal is strong and at the same rate as other Inspiron
    Dell Inspiron   Windows XP  

    I don't think your choppy videos have anything to do w/your computer. I have a G5 iMac and have no problems playing any video including YouTube. However, I am still using the "flawless" Tiger and you are using Leopard. I've seen your problem mentioned quite a few time on the QT board. You may wanna cross-post there also. Since you do not believe your ISP is the issue, make sure you have the following installed:
    Flip4Mac
    VLC Media Player
    Perian (AVI and FLV support)
    Adobe Flash Player Software (latest version)
    Regarding FireFox. I've noticed a slowness since its last 2 updates. I've had to clear out the caches each day before use to make it faster which is a PITA! Suggest that you post on FF message boards. There are plenty of the same "slowness" complaints from Mac as well as PC users. So it's not just you. The slowness is affecting quite a few folks. The more folks that complain on FF message boards the better.

  • Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

    Hi,
      I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue.  Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
      We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports.  We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000).  The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1.  For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes.  Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
      When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others.  If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first.  While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
      But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test.  Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading.  I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder.  Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
      Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime.  We never had such issues.  Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
      For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents.  Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method.  The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
      Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ?  Is there a way to speed up things ?
      Thanks !

    Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
    I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
    You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference.  Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
    So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
    Thanks again for your time !
