Space bar scrolling in safari is slow and laggy

Been searching this for a few days, and while I know some people are having "jaggy" scrolling issues in Safari (caused - or not - by the new Flash install), my experience is slightly different, and appeared at some point over the last week or so.
In short, it's just a lot slower to scroll via space bar. It used to snap right down to the next part of the page almost instantaneously, but now it sorta "slides" down. Scanning long web pages is a drag.
Chrome and Firefox still jump instantly to the next page via space bar, so it's a Safari-based issue. Curiously, the two-finger scroll is still fairly instant on Safari, but it's not a natural movement for me.
Anyone else having this issue, or possible fixes?

Ok...
Some users with a similar issue found a solution by uninstalling the Flash plugin, then reinstall new, then repair permissions. See this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11691898&#11691898
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I lost my space bar on my safari but only safari.  Help

    I was typing along and suddenly my space bar dissappeared in safari. I have a space bar everywhere else and now I can't surf the web. Any suggestions?  Please help!

    Which part of Safari are you typing in ? If you are on the URL address field then you won't have a space bar as spaces aren't valid in web addresses

  • Slow and laggy scrolling when using a touchscreen, any fix for this?

    I'm using FF on a touchscreen "flip" laptop and scrolling is choppy and laggy!
    In IE11/Chrome/Opera12&20 it's smooth. Any one know how to fix this, I've tried the SmoothWheel and YASM add-ons and they only made things worse.
    IE, Chrome and Opera is like browsing and scrolling on a HTC One m8/iPhone5s and FF feels like using my old Nokia 5800 from 2008.
    FF have a lot of customization features that Chrome and Opera 20 doesn't have and Opera 12 is no longer being upgraded/supported, so I would like to be able to continue using FF.

    I have, it was just showing up because I hadn't rebootet after upgrading from 12 to 13. I have tried booting FF in safe mode, with and without hardware acceleration & smooth scrolling. Scrolling (horizontally and vertically) and zooming is still slow and laggy.
    I tried FF 28.0 Beta with the Metro(Modern) mode, and thats nothing I'll use, at least until you can use plug-ins/add-ons. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro not RT.

  • Can somebody diagnose why my new MacBook Pro is so slow and laggy?

    I just bought this MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) a month ago and it had been performing very well until last night.  I tried to stream a hockey game through Chrome and the browser crashed.  I didn't think it was a serious issue at first; I tried to force quit Chrome but everything just slowed down even more.  Eventually I just shut it down by holding the power button, hoping that it would be fine once I started it back up. 
    But it wasn't fine.  It took forever to boot up, and once it did, everything was slow and laggy.  There is delay using the trackpad and keyboard, applications are taking ages to open and sometimes won't respond, the color wheel is popping up for minutes at a time, etc.  It even seems like the internet itself is slowed down; I've tried different browsers in different locations of varying internet connections and they've all been very slow to load pages.  It's like the whole machine suddenly caught the flu or something.
    I tried disk utility, but it says there's no problems.  The activity monitor doesn't show any significant CPU usage, and even after I cleaned the caches for Safari and Chrome, all the problems still persist.  I thought it might have caught a virus or some kind of malware, but I've been told that's highly unlikely.  Could it have something to do with Chrome or Flash (I was trying to update the latest Flash plug-in or something before the browser crashed)?  Like I said, the machine's fairly new, so not much of the RAM is used up.  Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

  • Macbook Pro mid-2012 Slow, and laggy

    My Macbook has been running slow, and laggy aswell. I don't know whats wrong with it. I took my Macbook to the store where I bought it to see if they could fix it. After 4 days in the warehouse I came to take it back, and they said that we didn't find anything wrong with the hardware, but something with the software. They said that I had to reinstall it, but they couldn't cuz it was not included in the insurance. When I came back home, I did a backup, erased everything, and did a fresh install of Mavericks(took 1 day cuz it was slow and laggy). When My macbook reinstalled the problem was still there. It was much better before the reinstallation, but still a little slow. I also ran disc utility but it affect the problem. I also have another probelm is when I put my macook in sleep, I close the lid and then it gets hot, like if I'm playing a game or something which I don't. The light is turned off when I'm using my mac, it gets a little dim when I put my Mac to sleep with the lid open. When I close the lid the light gets bright and it shows the pulse like pattern at random points. I had to turn my mac off cuz I take it to school, and when I take it out from my bag its hot like a fry pan. The overheat also affects my battery life time in a high degree. I had 80% when I closed the lid and put it in my bag, and it got 22% when I took it out. I also did some search up with no luck so I hope you guys can help me, please, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

    I was referring to this link that I posted earlier:

    What about the problem when I close the lid it starts getting hot, like the processor is working at its limits???
    Run an Apple Hardware Test,  that may develop a clue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    Also what about the caches, because it was written that it can slow down mac's performance if they are corrupted, and I don't know if the are corrputed.
    One eliminates that as a possibility by cleaning them. A Safe boot will do that.  Also look in the 'Safe Mac' link, the last entry titled "Clear Caches".

  • Captivate 5 Trial Insanely Slow and Laggy

    Hello
    I have recently been tasked with evaluating Adobe Captivate 5 for our company. I downloaded and installed the trial and have looked through the tutorials. However, I've noticed that the interface is ridiculously slow and laggy when using the software. And I mean PAINFULLY slow. For example, I'll open up a new project template, and simply inserting an image placeholder or text placeholder and dragging into the position I want it on the canvas takes 5-10 seconds. I'll drag my mouse to where I want it, then I'll have to wait 5 seconds before the object is actually moved. Meanwhile, the program is completely unresponsive. Honestly it feels as if I'm running this software on a Pentium 486. This only happens when doing any sort of operation on the canvas. I can navigate the menus at normal speed.
    Is this program supposed to be this laggy/unresponsive? It is insanely frustrating to use, in fact, I wouldn't even deem it usable in this state...
    PC Specs:
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50 GHz
    4GB RAM
    nVidia Quadro NVS 290
    Windows XP Pro with SP3 and all updates
    I use Photoshop all the time, and it runs beautifully. So do all other programs. I can't explain why Captivate would be so horribly laggy?

    Definitely odd! Not a good way to start a product trial, that's for sure.
    In any case, I ended up installing it on another computer that was relatively untouched in terms of software (only basic stuff installed, compared to my machine). And it worked basically how I expected it to, very smooth with no interface lag.
    So that begs the question, what is installed on my workstation that causes Captivate to go nuts? It's ONLY Captivate too. I can have JUST Captivate open, or I could have 20 other programs open, and no matter what it lags like crazy when I do anything in it. Even switching between programs or pulling up the start menu takes several seconds when going from Captivate to something else. Whereas if I'm in any other program (including Photoshop CS5), Windows responds with its normal swiftness.
    I've already uninstalled several video editing programs and other software, with no luck. I guess next to try is my AV software...

  • Upgrade to 2.0.2 made my iPhone 3G slow and laggy

    Since I downloaded the new firmware, my phone has been really slow and laggy, anything I can do about it?

    Not alot you can do I dont think. 3G decreases network reception and drains power but you can turn it off. Edge does make the internet perk up a bit sometimes believe it or not.
    If you are having any issues with the applications crashing there may be a potential work around

  • Remote Desktop to netbook very slow and laggy

    Remote Desktop to netbook over local ethernet is very slow and laggy. Netbook is Atom N280 with 2GB RAM and GPU with WDDM 1.0 driver. On Windows 7 all works fine even with an Aero Glass enabled for remote session. Now DWM consumes 10 to 25% permanently
    so I think it's a DWM problem. Network traffic is only up to 6Mb/s over 100Mbit LAN connection. Is there a way to connect to Windows 8 netbook useful way?

    Hi, sorry for my late reply but I didn't get notification about your post. I tried these settings and it is laggy same way. I read on Internet desktop composition in Windows 8 is always enabled regardless of RDP client settings. Display adapter is Mobile
    Intel 946 Express Chipset Family. I tried to install Standard VGA driver, but it is also very slow. I'll try clean install to VHD now to avoid any 3rd party software impact.
    Edit: I tried and it's slow even after a clean install.
    Edit2: It is an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family.

  • Hitting space bar  scrolls safari or other programs twice

    when i hit space bar safari or programs that accepts space bar for scrolling, twice as much as one hit happens. touch space but n twice scrolling happens. not sure why this is happening any help please? 1.42 ghz powerpc g4 512 mb built in

    Hi, Natasha. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. Check the settings in the System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard tab. You might try setting a slower the Key Repeat Rate or a longer Delay Until Repeat.
    2. If you're using an external keyboard with your iBook, try a different keyboard.
    3. If the Space Bar is sticking in other uses, e.g. normal typing, there may be a problem with the keyboard itself.
    4. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose? If the problem arose after making a change, it's possible the change is the cause.
    Good luck!

  • Safari extremely slow and pages load with errors

    Not sure if this is related to other Safari posts, but when I try to load a page from many sites, including this one, the speed is extremely slow and there are invariably errors reported on the bottom status bar. I'm on a new Mac Pro, and I haven't added any add-ons to Safari or changed system settings. My internet connection is DSL on ethernet, and there are no problems with email or on my old G4 using Explorer 5.1. At this point G4's Explorer is light years faster than Safari on this machine. I'm going to try Mozilla Firefox, but is there any hope for Safari?
    Thanks,
    Peggy

    Hi Peggy
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Try this to speed up Safari.
    First, make sure you are not using Rosetta. Go to Safari's info panel (Application folder>Safari.app>Single click>Apple Key I). If Rosetta is selected, uncheck it.
    Network Connection
    Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
    - Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
    - Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
    - Back to the "Show" menu, depending on your connection select "Ethernet". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply".
    Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
    In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
