Slow to download web pages

For the past week or so my iBook G4, OS X 10.5.2 has not been downloading web pages properly. Usually very slow and halting. Occasionally one will come up normally and occasionally it won't come up at all and I get a "cannot find the server" message. Occurs with both Safari and Firefox, both wireless and Ethernet. I seem to have a good signal. My wife's PC is working fine on the same cable modem/router. I've done the disc utility, virus scan, restart. What next?
Jim

Is there anything else that might have changed in the last week? How long has Leopard been installed? When was the last software upgrade?

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Cut and paste operation in Hyperion Planning is slower than normal web page

We understand the web form under Hyperion Planning has many useful functions built-in but we also encountered some user complains that the operation inside the web form is relatively slower than normal web page. When user cut and paste 20 to 50 cells content, they need to wait 1 to 5 seconds on the "copy" function.
Any workaround can be implemented to improved the user experience? We have asked Oracle whether we can disable the SQL statement behind but no firm reply yet.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
It has always been a bit of an issue, they supposely resolved in it earlier releases though I am not sure how much there really did resolve it.
It is down to the amount of Javascript that is used in the web forms and how much rendering and validation it has to go through.
The spec of client machines sometimes can have performance impact.
One route is to use smart view to enter data into forms, as it is excel based it should be much quicker to cut/copy and paste.
Cheers

John, thanks for your advice.
Yes SmartView should improve the operational speed. However as not all of our users are using SmartView we are looking for some ways to improve the web form speed.

Hello there!!!
Firstly, thanks you about your response!!
Secondly, I didn't mean to iPad apps but to iPod touch apps, so if you know about a cool app who allow to save web pages for watching them later at offline mode, please update me!!
Sorry, I should have typed iPod rather than iPad.
Both of the products I mentioned are available for the iPod Touch & iPhone. Check out the App store.

Put your first emphasis on memory. Don't even consider 2 GB.
Second, maximize your SSD size according to the ability of your wallet. Lastly is your processor.
For what you describe the MBA is plenty fast.

My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Why is firefox4 so slow to open web pages?

I upgraded to firefox4 and now my browser is running so slow when opening web pages??

The most recent version is Microsoft Outlook 2011, not Entourage 2008

Why is iPad so INCREDIBLY slow in loading web pages or e-mails? I have brand new iPad 2.

Just got a new iPad2 last week, installed OK, updated to iOS 5.0, able to access my home's wireless network. However, it is incredibly slow in loading web pages, so that most web sites time out before they will load, like http://finance/yahoo, which I have to use my desktop (Windows XP) or laptop (Windows 7) computers to access, since the iPad will time out almost every time before it can open the site. Same for most other sites, unless real simple like my own web site, which will open OK.
Apple tech support was no help at all. Any suggestions, other than buying a new router?

Have you tried (1) restarting your router, and (2) resetting the wifi on the iPad? To do #2, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings.

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook

Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook.

First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.
Also, try this :

Slow internet. Web pages slow to load.

Hello,
My mac mini is finding web pages slowly. 5-10 seconds or more to find the pages and then it will load (instantly) most of it and pause a second of or two and load the rest. Downloads are fast. Within 100kbps of advertised speed (1.5 mb dsl). My upload is also fine at about 1.0 mbps. Any ideas? The ISP gave gave me a modem and said plug it in and it worked fine for a week or two. It's been really slow the last two days.

When web pages are slow to start loading, but load pages quickly once they've started, it's usually an issue with the DNS settings. DNS is Domain Name Service, and it's the process whereby the URL you type into your web browser, such as www.yahoo.com is turned into the string of numbers the internet actually uses to locate a web page. Thus when you click on a link or type an address, before your browser can start loading the page it has to send the address to the ISP's DNS servers, which then look up the address and return the correct IP number.
This process usually happens pretty quickly, but not always.
Check that the DNS server addresses you were given by the ISP are entered correctly into the DNS Servers box of the network preference pane. If none are listed, check the ISP's settings (often found on-line in their help and support pages, or in the documentation they supplied) and enter them manually. There will typically be 2 or 3 of them, given in the form of an IP address.

Fireox became excruciatingly slow to load web pages immediately after following Stop Censorship link over Firefox logo on start page.

Immediately after I followed the Stop Censorship link on the Firefox opening page and e-mailed congressional representatives, Firefox has become extremely glitchy - web pages take forever to load. I had upgraded to Firefox 8 two days ago. Could this be a virus/worm set by pro-censorship or anti-open source agencies like ?Microsoft or is this a problem with the beta version of Firefox 8? I did not notice the extreme slowing of web page loading after upgrading to Firefox 8, but it happened directly after I followed and acted on the Stop Internet Censorship links. My Norton internet security scans shows "no threats detected". Also I am unable to submit this feedback to Firefox: When I click on the Submit Feedback button, nothing happens. What to do? Should I go back to 3.6 or what to do next? Any other Firefox community members have this problem?

SOLVED
I cannot quite fathom why this solution works (since browsing seemed slower without Sophos installed) but with Sophos 9 installed and turning off the new functionality in Sophos 9: Web protection / Block malicious downloads... the browsing experience is again very fast with the exception of netspeed.test.

System slow and certain web pages load slowly

For six month's I have been trying to determine what is wrong.
Back ground os: Maverick 10.9.4.
I think I may have found the trouble.
When I shut down the computer, a box opens and ask's
to continue the download or abort?
So, I always abort.
I have done all the maintenance and permissions and reset
the Pram and Sms. (I think that's it?)
The last time I posted a tecky had me download EtreCheck software.
And I was able to find a lot of bad or damaged files.
I ran it today and under, Top Processes by C.P.U.: ( In red) was
100% installer.
I can not tell which or what installer?
And how to find this?
My whole system is slow or unresponsive and web pages
sometime's do not load.
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you,
John

Found the culprit. ( WOOHOO ! )
I went into the library and under logs,
found a file called: com.apple.Tcc and
it had a red icon on the bottom.
So I re- ran EtreCheck and it was gone.
By maintenance, I mean, Permissions.
I hope this solved the problem?
Thank you to all for your assistance.
If this does not solve it I will be back.
John
