Slow Loading of WebPages
Has anyone else noticed webpages loading a lot slower since using the Leopard upgrade? I have to click a second time or it just sits there and times out. Other than that I've been pretty happy with the upgrade.
Thanks for any suggestions.
After some experimenting, it seems like my poor speed and sluggishness is the result of my computer heating up. I have always turned my computer on at 6 AM and put it to sleep at 10 PM. But with Leopard, if I leave it on all day, it gets extremely hot by late afternoon. Most of my computer work involves accessing a number of websites to monitor sales, auctions, etc. for our businesses. By evening, I can't get most of the sites to open and instead the browsers time out. Today I tried putting it to sleep everytime I needed to leave my desk and it stayed a lot cooler and I'm still working this evening!
When I turn on the computer in the morning, it is lightning fast and pages open almost before I finish clicking!
Are there any suggestions as to why it is heating up and how I can overcome this problem?
Thanks!

Quicktime audio files extremely slow loading on webpage
I have loaded four audio files onto one page of my website that I created using iWeb. This page is incredibly slow loading and just won't play on many people's computers (mac and pc alike) (including mine!).
Is there something I can use for audio files besides the quicktime player? Is there a way to have the page load faster?
Thanks in advance.Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes. You can use a flash player like the examples on this demo page: Audio Players.
More player types and even a jutebox player is explained and demoed on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians sitge on this page:Music Players.

Powermac vs ibook - slow loading of webpages
For a while now I have been mainly using my ibook G4 over my powermac G5 to access the internet but have had to revert back to the powermac (power lead packed up on ibook!). I have noticed the following and wonder if anyone could give me any tips.
Powermac - accesses web using router with ethernet. Browser is Safari, OSX Panther
ibook - accesses web via same router but wirelessly. Browser is Safari, OSX Tiger
However, pages on the powermac are significantly slower to load than when I use the ibook. Its getting to the point where I just can't be bothered to use the internet as I'm tearing my hair out waiting for pages to load. Now I know you may say it could be the page I'm trying to access but I'm only going to same pages as last week, and the weeks, months before on the ibook and these were loading no problem. Plus the Powermac is connected direct to the router via ethernet cable so would have thought it would have been quicker. I'm even using the same browser on both computers so can't see how it can be a problem with Safari. I've cleared the cache, removed webpage icons but dont know what else to do.
Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks!After some experimenting, it seems like my poor speed and sluggishness is the result of my computer heating up.

Camino solves slow loading webpages in Safari
For those having troubles with suddenly slow loading webpages in Safari, i found out that when opening the Camino web browser the slow loading web address in Safari will open fast.
So keep your Camino open too and hit the reload button when having problems.
Maybe this tip was submitted earlier but maybe it helps some of you.
For me it works.I fixed it with this

All of a sudden Safari is very slow loading web pages. The blue bar will start and then it will freeze and stay there. If I hit stop and refresh it zips right across and loads. I have emptied the cache, reset Safari and run Disk Utility. Any suggestions?
Hi again, researching further, I found a poster who wrote:
_+If that doesn't work try changing your dns settings. I had a similar issue and after a visit to opendns.com and changing my settings, things are better than before. Plus I changed the settings on my router and which solved the problem for all my computers._+
though I did the other two things, the .com.apple file thing and the macfixit (well I tried some of those) this is what worked, going to the above mentioned webpage and following the very simple steps. I have no idea what the heck I did actually, but it worked. I also do not know why all of a sudden everything changed and I had to do this trouble shooting. Made me feel like I was back in PC Land.

Over the last few days I have noticed that the time it takes Safari (using 6.0.5 update) to load a webpage is taking much longer. Even if it's just www.google.com or www.espn.com it takes longer to load. I have even done the "reset safari" option, cleared my cache and it's still running slow. Is there anything else I can do? I was thinking about bringing it into the Apple folks and have them take a look and see if maybe they could clear stuff up or anything.
Thanks.Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they all slow at the same time?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference? -
My macbook pro loads webpages fine for the first few minutes but after that the internet freezes and will not load anymore webpages. What can I do to fix this?
I let Firefox sit on my desktop for about five minutes, and it finall allowed me to use it. That is EXTREEEMELY slow. What is the problem?

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.
Here is the crash report:

The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

Slow load times on AU sites?
is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!
I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through. -
Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7
Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

IMac - Slow load and wifi problems
I have lion installed on my macbook pro and on my iMac. My macbook pro works GREAT...no problems. My iMac - I am ready to toss out a window. Here are the problems:
INCREDIBLY slow boot up time - 5-10 minutes from off - 5-8 minutes from sleep
The hard drive is constantly working. I can have nothing open and it sounds like the hard drive is constantly spinning
Half the time my wifi hardware is not found on boot up and I have to reboot with slow load times - sometimes taking 20 minutes before I can get logged in to a 'working' computer
A lot of my programs have become slow. Safari can be slow responsive but others that are not apple that have done 'lion updates'
I have my activity monitor running and nothing seems to be hogging resources. My iMac specs are:
2.8 intel core i5
12 gb ram
2 TB hard drive with about 1tb free
I ran the lion update that came out and it did not seem to do much for me.
Anyone have a solution? Anyone tried a clean format and did this work? Lion works great on my laptop and I just need it to work on my main computer as well.
Rebai think part of the boot up time issue is the amount of windows you happen to have open when you put it to sleep
other is lion upgrade slows it down due to this auto save function
my wifi is also spotty and acts like it can't find itself at times
and this is a brand new imac -
Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

If I open too many Bookmarked pages into tabs my browser will hang and then sometimes crash or close unexpectedly.
If I bring up task manager or use the Alt + Tab I can navigate to the window and right-click and choose restore to allow me to see the window again. This needs to be done if I load more than 10 pages at once. Is there a way to choose to prevent loading of all opened tabs and then choose which tabs I'm currently working with to load the webpage? I would like to know how to use a shortcut key on my keyboard to select all tabs as ctrl + A does not work and then escape or another key tells to stop all pages from loading in each tab as with all the ads, gifs, videos, and internet spam keeps growing it is too much of a strain to have multiple webpages opened in tabs on the browser.
I use Win XP SP2 and I am eagerly waiting a solution as it has been an issue with even previous versions of Firefox however IE could only have about 3 tabs opened and then would crash that is why I stick with Firefox as my browser of choice.Just saw your posting from yesterday - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/876195
