Slow to load webpages over Airport, but not Ethernet

I just bought a Macbook (basic configuration) and am frustrated when using the internet. Every time I try to load a webpage, it takes a long time to load, but once the images start appearing, the rest is very fast. This only happens when using Airport wireless. I hooked up the Macbook via ethernet cable to my wireless router, and everything is blazing fast. I'm running an iMac G5 (PowerPC) via wireless airport in the same room, and no problems there - everything on the iMac is very fast. What is the issue with airport on my Macbook?

one thing to check is to make sure it's your network that your macbook is connecting to. mine sometimes is a little buggy and will connect to the neighbor's signal instead, which of course is very weak, and will take forever to load a webpage.
another thing to try is to reset your wireless router. first, turn your airport off on your macbook. then unplug your wireless router for a minute. then plug it back in. wait a few seconds, then enable the airport on your macbook.
also, try different browsers. download the deerpark build of firefox. deerpark has an intel-mac specific build of firefox that works better than regular firefox. i've found it to be the fastest browser for the mac.

Time Capsule Works Airport, But not ethernet

Ok, i got a new 1TB TC in the mail earlier today, I started setting it up, And i noticed that it would not work with my mac pro over ethernet. So i was wondering if it had to me setup more. I fire up my macbook and airport utility just like on the mac pro. The macbook sets it up fine that is everything! The internet works on my mac pro, And it even sees a share with the same name as my time capsule,
It has a computer icon, like another computers share, Also i can't connect to it.
If i manaually enter the IP address under airport utility It does come up! But from there i can update the settings!
However i still can't access the share over ethernet, And i can't set time machine to backup

OK, when you said
...but i cant actually use my time capsule for time machine. since it doesnt show in the utility
what utility did you mean?

How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.
Try troubleshooting third party plugins. Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Macbook is slow to load webpages and youtube videos are stopping

I just recently purchased a Macbook pro, however, its been slow to load webpages, youtube videos, etc. The youtube videos frequently stop playing and I have to reload the page. Its not the connection and I havent had the computer long enough to have to clear safari chache. WHY

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the same issue, though it's not a poor router problem (upgraded that hoping it would fix it).
I tried the OpenDNS and it helped once, then stopped loading Netflix (Netflix, Youtube, and Facebook seem to be common problems, as well as "new" webpages that I don't go to often). If I connect directly to my Ethernet the internet works great. My iPhone connected to WiFi works great. It's just my Macbook pro and it just recently happened when I moved to my new house (I had the same ISP at an apartment and had 0 issues). Any thoughts?

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

Mac Pro Slow to load webpages

Almost overnight, My MacPro (late 2009 Dual Quad, 2 1Tetra HD) started to REALLY slow down when loading webpages on both Safari and Firefox. Some times , I will get the "safari can't find browser" message...and if I try it again, it will load....after it loads and I go back to in within the same internet session, it is usually ok. And these are my topsites that I go to all the time. Did not know if anyone had any ideas. I tried to find if there were some type of diagnostic software, but could not find it.
Could I possibly have a virus...if so any suggestions on how to rid myself of it.

My MacPro (late 2009 Dual Quad
Sig shows 10.4 my friend!
Also, 3 x 2GB (or 4 x 2GB) is basic, I would hate to see someone running with less than 6GB, and some have a need for 12-24GB easily.
Keep your system in good shape with SuperDuper and Disk Warrior (clone it over to a new drive). Installing a system and apps can really fragment all the free space and while files may not be, it still helps to clone once in awhile, and optimize free space etc.
For some apps, 8GB really is not a lot (CS4/5 for instance_) though I'm sure you'll find those that say their system is 'fine' with that amount for their work. Others really need more (fast raid0 for boot; scratch; and media).
Avoid 'green' drives for active work. And while fast, a full 1TB drive full track seek is still going to be slow... another reason to clone/optimize.

Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...

I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP. The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow". There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources. I keep it lean.
So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that. Video quality is great. So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right?
It gets stranger. I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house). Video quality is great on both.
The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.
So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN? I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

Trouble loading some web pages but not others

having a little trouble lately...
For some reason safari and, well, any other browser, come to think of it isnt work on particular pages.
Example. The other day google.com wasnt coming up just spinning its wheels then saying:
Safari can’t open the page “http://google.com/” because it could not connect to the server “google.com”.
Another example: Safari could not open the page “http://cbgundaker.com/” because the server stopped responding.
I called my ISP and sat thru 2 hours worth of trouble shooting and got nowhere. They thought it was a DNS issue but I can reach the sites from other machines in the network so it looks like it is only effecting this particular powerbook. I've sat two machines down next to each other and it'll work on one but not the other(same wireless or wired network). annoying.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
p

pardon me for butting in, this problem is driving me crazy.
i just tried your dns thing, no effect.
what i can't understand is why does my iBook display all 5 pages that i can't display on my iMac? i visit these sites everyday
-the bookmarks are synced between the two, iBook and iMac use same internet
-i copied the iBook plist for internet and safari over to my iMac-no change
-i did all the resets, clear cache, disk utility,ditch plists
-safari, camino,opera,firefox,shirra do not open these 5 pages
-macworld.com opens fine, macworld.com/news/ does not
-my admin account does not display these 5 pages
-i turned on airport, connected to someone's unprotected network and tried the sites to no avail (i have my own wired internet connection)
-it hangs on the 2nd to last item in the progress bar, ie "8 out 9 items"
-this all started sometime after the last security update and before10.4.6
i am at wits end!

MacBook Pro can connect via Airport but not iPhone or iBook G4.

Anyone have any ideas? My Macbook Pro can connect to my Airport (v.7.3.1, 802.11n) but not my iPhone or iBook or a Windows Computer or WiFi Blackberry.
The connection is strong and detectable by the ibook but "unable to connect".
Somethings up with the settings but not sure what.
Any ideas?
HELP!
thanks

I've tried Channel 1,2,3,4,5 (still need to try the others)
Secured or unsecured the only wireless connection that works is my MacBookPro.
I get the message "unable to join network..." The connection is very strong.

PC Laptops connect to Airport but not Internet

I've got a DSL connection coming into my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). I have my MacBook connected through Wi-Fi and a XP PC connected through Ethernet. Both can connect fine to internet and AEBS. However, when I try and connect my work laptop (limited ability to mess with settings) to the internet through Wi-Fi, it connects to the AEBS but not to the internet. Its able to get an IP address and has good signal and connection. It used to work, but I had some problems with my DSL modem and since getting that sorted out, the work laptops won't connect.
The network is a non-published network using WPA/WPA2 security broadcasting on channel 9.
Radio Mode: 802.11n(802.11b/g)
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
Configure IPv4: Manually
Distributing a Range of IP Addresses

Since this past weekend, I have spent approx 25% of my time trying to get my Airport Extreme to work. It takes 1-2 hours of retrying manual setup, and although I go through the exact same steps, most of the time it does not work. I was finally successful, but rebooting off the Mac caused the device to quit working. Reconfig (again) another 2 hours, and it works. It will work for perhaps 2 hours max, then stop again, forcing a reboot (back to factory settings using the pin on the back). It has worked pretty much flawlessly until this past weekend, and now I can't use it for more than a couple hours before I have to devote 2-3 hours of total frustration. I am using 7.1.3 update. Any suggestions on how I can keep this working for more than 2 hours before it Goes Amber? PS - after reading this discussion board, I am sorry I bought this device!

Certain website will load on other browsers but not the new Firefox

I noticed this problem also occurs in Google Chrome, but not IE or the previous version of Firefox. The website is www.dsjband.com and I would appreciate any help on this matter!

PC Connecting thru Airport but Not mac

I am unable to connect to internet on my mac thru Airport Extreme. My PC is picking up my network fine. Network does not show up when scanning for available networks. When I entered my network and password it tells me airport is plugged in but not connected and when I use Asisstant to try I am told my password is invalid (which it is not.)
I have trashed preferences, restarted, run disk utility. I just turned on computer this morning and no connection. Thank you

Microsoft's WPA2 Fix for PC's fixes issues where PCs cannot connect to modern wireless routers.
To fix connection issues to Airports from PCs, just google WPA2 Fix for XP .
Now for my Rant... This is a hot fix that was released by Microsoft in 2005. Even brand new laptops being sold today, with XP, and then running the 116 updates from Microsoft will not automatically get this update! You must manually search, download and run it. How does Microsoft continue to have such garbage support?

Printer loads on 1 Mac but not another

I have a Lexmark x517 that will work great with my G4 TiPowerbook but not my G4 Quicksilver. The printer came with printer drivers on a CD which have been loaded onto both machines. Both are running OSX 10.4.8, so I don't get it.
When I open Printer Setup Utility on the Quicksilver and try to selct "add" it will act like the button was selected but then it won't do anything. I've tried to download every possible driver,etc. Nothing works. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer on my compuer using the Lexmark utilities that worked on my laptop.
One day I was really frustrated with the fact it wouldn't work so I started trashing everything I could find on my compuer having to do with Lexmark and then I re-installed everything. It still won't work.
If anyone could help. . . that would be fabulous! Thanks in advance!
G4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.4.8) Printer Setup Utility won't add printer

Paul, thank you so much for trying to help!
I tried the OS 10.4.8 update and that didn't work.
What's so weird is that my system profiler knows that a Lexmark 510 series printer is connected to the USB port. . . I just can't get the Setup Print Utility to add a printer.
Anyway. . . here's the print error log. Hopefully it tells you something. (cross my fingers!)
Thanks again so much!

Epson R1900 Printer Installed with Airport but not printing

I just installed my new Epson R1900 Printer and it says that it is online and recognized but when I send something to print it comes up in the queue and then disappears and doesn't print. The printer isn't idle or anything like that though, it still says ready.

I am guessing that using the card reader function also falls into the category of "advanced features" of the printer. I could not find a way to read my CF when plugged in to my Epson Stylus CX6000.
To solve the problem, I actually did unplug it from the Time Capsule and used it directly, only to reconnect it with the TC when I was done. Not convenient at all. Any word on whether Apple is working on this, or not? Or any other solutions?
In researching this issue through the Apple pages, I found that initially the Airport did not support a USB hub (single printer only), but now a powered USB hub is supported. A good sign that things do change for the better.
