Slow Safari with a Twist

I've read through the "Slow Safari" posts, but haven't seen a problem exactly like mine...my Safari runs fast sometimes, slow other times, usually when I'm entering some kind of form.
For example, no problem getting to Apple Support-->Discussions-->Safari
But when I enter a search term (like "Slow") it never loads. Same with Google, Mapquest, my credit union web site.
Any clue what's going on?
(Here's the twist: I'm sending this message via my circa 1995 PowerMac 7600 running IE because I couldn't get Safari to work...)
Thanks,
elyse
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

My problems are like yours... totally unpredictable. The forums are very slow. eBay for instance is usually slow if I can even get it to work. Everything else just totally varies. I have to refresh until it works and sometimes that doesn't even do it. I'm very frustrated with the whole problem. Like you, my old machines do not have these problems at all.

  • Slow browsing with safari 3.1.2 - Any issues to watch out for?

    Greetings,
    I run Safari on my MBM on a HughesNet satellite based internet connection. Iffy at best - nowhere close to DSL. Quite a few ups and downs in service during the day ( according, as Hughes vaguely states, High Usage times, which seem now to extend to MOST of the time. Advice: try BEFORE you buy into satellite Internet - TechSupp, provided by "Sam", "Joey", etc... from Far East, is heavily scripted abd basically clueless - "Sam, we sleep in the US at 3am MST - High Usage cannot possibly be occurring at that time!!")
    i have noticed however that overall, Safari can get very slow, and hesitant in loading pages, even when internet connection is half decent. IN FACT, sometimes, my iPhone loads up a given page faster then my MBP from a given location, when I have BOTH the MBP and the iPhone on WiFi through my wireless router and positioned next to each other.
    I'll appreciate,
    - Roger T
    Any general pointers as to what can slow Safari down (browser settings, w. card settings)?

    Going through some or all of this might help:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
    Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.220
    208.67.220.222
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

  • Slow Safari

    I would like to thank all of those who are posting hints for dealing with a slow safari. I have two iBooks one running 10.2.8 and the other running 10.4.2, both of which seem to be infected.
    Last evening I did make a few changes to the 10.2.8 iBook. I deleted the preference files, the cache, and the icons folder. No real improvement. I used the terminal 'ipconfig' command and got my ISP's DNS numbers and entered them. This seemed to make a huge difference. I even experimented with turning Java Script off. However, this actually made some web pages slower.
    Turining Java Script back on and opening the Activities window, I noticed something really interesting. The pages Safari was hanging on, even with the above changes, were all attempting to load a similar file. In fact, Safari never does load that file and it appears that the page is completely loaded. One of the sites I am having difficulty with is Apple's page. Here is the file which Safari cannot load:
    link
    Here is an other example of a similar file on CNN.com:
    link
    I am very encouraged that I have found this similar link between all of the pages that my Safari hangs on, but this means nothing to me. I was hoping someone would be familiar enough with these types of files that they could shed some light on my problems. I can only hope that this is the problem that all slow Safari users are encountering and a solution can be had.
    I will attempt to make changes to my 10.4.2 iBook this evening and report those results as well. With a three month old at home it is difficult to get much free time to solve a very difficult problem.

  • Slow Mac with recurrent spinning ball of doom

    Please help,
    My Mac has always been slow since I had it and migrated my PC content to my Mac.  I have run EtreCheck and hope that this might illuminate the cause of my issues, but worry that it may not.  ANYTHING I ask the Mac to do will be slow and inevitably cause a spinning ball for a while.  I have kept the system up to date.  I have a lot of photos in iPhoto but can't imagine this can be the cause?
    Any help is much appreciated.  The Etrecheck output is below:
    Many thanks.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
    Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
    Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
    The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Safari with Lion - V Bad...

    Ok- I have Lion on 3 different machines (iMac, Macbook Pro, macbook). On ALL of them now I have these issues:
    MUCH slower than with Snow Leopard.
    Not finding webpages (including this site)- it either hangs or brings up a message saying it can't find the site.
    Not being able to do things like book cinema tickets (two different websites- Vue and Empire). With each case the site gets to the submitting payment information and then does not do anything else. there are no error messages and it happens on all my Lion safari machines (before Lion all was ok). The sites DO work with Windows 7 machines.
    What this feels like is that my browser is no preventing me from using the internet.
    So- what is the solution? Do I have to uninstall Lion and go back to the original Safari or is their something that everyone else has done to get their Safari versions working?
    Getting very frustrated (even loaded Chrome to access the internet in the meantime...)
    Ta,

    I have found the exact opposite with my Macs and the others I help to install Lion. So far for it appears to be signigficant faster.
    I would suggest removing all of your Safari plugins as a test to see if that changes anything.

  • Really slow Safari

    So, having searched most if not all the info here, all the things I've done (Onyx, basic maintinence, resetting all that could be reset), the dang thing is as slow as ever. I also made a new identity and of course, THAT is fast as all get-out.
    Should I just back everything up and reformat? That'll be fun...
    Thanks, JT
    emac   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    Three steps you can take::
    Move the Icon folder in your Safari folder (User Library) to the trash. This resets the favicon file (small icons in the Address Bar) to zero, and you start building over. This folder can become rather large or corrupted, slowing Safari down in the process. If you don't want favicons appearing you can also access the folder in your Finder, call up the info panel (highlight folder, then apple key + I), change the preferences to read only and lock the folder. This will shut off the favicons.
    Second, same Library>Caches - move the Safari folder to the trash. Safari will automatically create a new one.
    Third - Safari Preferences>Autofill - this feature can slow down Safari as it increases in size. Good to select the edit key next to any of the 3 options offered, and remove items no longer necessary.
    Give these a try and post back with results.
    The latest version of Safari for Panther is available with the 10.3.9 combined update. If you upgrade, make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility when the install/restart is completed.

  • Slow Safari Syndrome ("SSS")

    [ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; locked, please start a new topic about your technical issue ]
    Hello to all affected by a "Slow Safari Syndrome" or "SSS":
    DESCRIPTION of the "Slow Safari Syndrome" or "SSS": The SSS is not only a very slow loading of web pages in Safari, but also incomplete loading or rendering of web pages that end up in loading errors, with some pages partially displayed after a very slow loading. It provides for a very unsatisfactory user experience.
    BACKGROUND: I have experienced a slow Safari in an environment with the following characteristics:
    - the Slow Safari Syndrome shows on my two different PowerBook laptops (PB G4/667 GHz, and a newer PB G4 / 1.65 GHz, both with the latest Mac OSX 10.4.3).
    - The SSS happens at three different locations: (a) Home with Cox Cable ISP, b) Second home woth Verizon DSL, and c) Work at a building services with Sprint fiber optic. In all three the SSS is present.
    PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION: Because of above, I can rule out ISP issues. I can also rule out hardware issues. What remains are software issues (Safari settings, Network settings, other settings).
    PARTIAL SOLUTION FOUND: I did the following:
    (a) rebuilt the DIrectories using DiskWarrior,
    (b) repaired Permissions (three times, as the Directories change often)
    (c) deleted the famous "com.apple.safari.plist". NOTICE that you need to quit Safari first, then delete the file. This is because closing Safari it saves the file, so you must Quit Safari first, delete the com.apple.safari.plist, empty the trash, and only then re-open Safari.
    RESULTS & FINDINGS: Quiting Safari, deleting the com.apple.safari.plist, and reopening Safari did indeed improve the download speed of Safari, and did reduce the Slow Safari Syndrome ("SSS"), but unfortunately it did not eliminate this SSS. Something corrupts this file on a recurring basis, and this is related ti the SSS symptoms. Although my Safari is significantly faster now, (its speed increases drastically every time I delete the plist file), after a day or two Safari slows down again, and the SSS returns slowly, but surely. So, now I have to delete this PLIST file periodocally until a more permanent solution is found.
    The Slow Safari Syndrome remains an open question, and I have entered this posting to ask for help, because I do not have a final solution to this issue. I will welcome any additional tidbits of information anyone may help. I hope one of the Apple gurus reads this, and sheds some light on how to eradicate the SSS for good. -- I hope this information is of use to anyone affected by this SSS. -- Regards to all.

    Assorted observations, in no particular order:
    • Java & Javascript are two different things. This site is loaded with JavaScript, not Java applets. The link to emptying the Java cache as a fix appears iffy at best. Besides, turning off either or both in Safari's Security pref has no effect.
    • plist oddities: I just noticed that the plist for Safari has a new creation (not just modification) date cooresponding to the last time I opened Safari after I fast switched out of & back into my account. Thing is, I did not delete it beforehand, so it seems it writes a new file sometimes, taking the prefs from the old plist. I will investigate this more, but would like to know if anyone else is seeing anything similar.
    • Speaking of switching users, since all the files we are discussing are in home folders, a quick test of their influence on the slowdown should be to log into another account. My own experiments in this area suggest that when the slowdown is in full force (like when pages won't even partially load), it occurs for all accounts. This in turn suggests some or all of the problem is not with user files.
    • Don't laugh, but the only thing that seems to be common to all who are reporting this problem is using this site. Is it possible that something in the content of this site, which appears to be going down with great frequency, is actually part of the cause?
    • Oddity #2: Every item in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ (used, I think only for Spotlight searches in bookmarks) also has a new creation date exactly the same as in the first oddity above. These all coorespond to bookmarks, none of which have been opened recently. This may have something to do with deleting the Safari plist, but the creation times don't jibe with that.

  • I have a problem with safari, when I open new tab the tabs don't have the exit button that it used to be on the left corner of each tab and i used to close the safari with command Q witch is not working anymore ! what am I supposed to do ?

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

    I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
    -TC

    It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

    I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails.  My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
    I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy.  I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval.  Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
    Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

  • Slow Performance with Business Rules

    Hello,
    Has anyone ever had slow performance with business rules? For example, I attached a calc script to a form and it ran for 20 seconds. I made an exact replica of the calc script in a business rules and it took 30 seconds to run. Also, when creating / modifying business rules in EAS it takes a long time to open or save or attach security - any ideas on things to improve this performance?
    Thanks!

    If you are having issues with performance of assigning access then I am sure there was patch available, it was either a HSS patch or planning patch.
    Cheers

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • Mac mini slow speed - with pauses

    My Mac Mini crashed and I had to reinstall.
    Now it runs partly very slow, even with pauses, where I have to wait for responses.
    Start-up takes long minutes.
    System profiling tools says HD activity reaches a max of 8MB/s.
    CPU workload looks far below 100%.
    Is there any experience with this?
    How can I check and find out more precise the reason for slowing down?
    Mac Mini:  4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, 500 GB HD, 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.7.2 everything updated

    As per the reply to your other post with the same question:
    This is not something to worry about or be concerned with. Firstly, the paging counts will depend on how long the system has been running since the last boot, but MacOS is designed to actively page out and in, so in itself, the fact your system shows it is doing so means nothing at all.
    If your computer is exhibiting some indication of a problem, I suggest you start a new thread here and describe what you are experiencing. That way we can help you directly with the specifics of your problem. On the other hand, if you have just seen the comments regarding paging and system performance and have checked your own Mac to see what it's doing - the answer is that in the absence of an indication of a problem, it's very likely doing exactly what it ought to be doing!
