Why are links opening slowly on my MacBookPro

I use a MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011. Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) I have had several different difficulties since upgrading to Yosemite.
Processor: 2.2 GHZ Intel Core l7,
Memory: 10GB 1333 MHz DDR3, (recently removed one of the 2GB modules and replaced it with an 8GB module which bumped me u to 10GB.)
Startup disk: Macintosh HD, Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 670M 1024 MB.
Lately when clicking on a link in email or while web browsing the link either acts dead and won't open at all or
will open very slowly. What is going on? Is this my MacBook Pro or internet ?? Or OS X Yosemit

  • Why are linked documents randomly out of sync with source docs?

    Regarding RoboHelp’s Link to Word feature…
    I have a RH 9 HTML project on my local drive with several hundred help topics that are “linked as references” from Word documents on a network drive. All was well until recently… several of the linked help topics are showing as “out of sync” even though the source documents have not be changed or moved. The out of sync topics all seem to be randomly picked, and when I update one topic to get things back in sync, another topic appears out of sync. It is not project specific, because I created a new project and created links to the same Word documents and the out of sync issue happened again. I tried removing the cpd file and opening up the project so that a new cpd file is generated, but the problem persists.
    Any thoughts on why this is happening? Is it some sort of connection issue?

    Hi, I understand about the mismatch…the problem is there shouldn’t be any mismatches, because the source documents didn’t change at all, and no updates were made to the html help topics in RoboHelp. The mismatches appear for no reason that I am aware of. They are very random and I can “fix” the mismatches by performing an “update” for a few linked topics, but then a few more mismatches randomly appear.
    I don’t use a Master Page…can you think of anything else I should look into?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why Are Pages Opening in New Tabs Instead of Within the Pages?

    Up until I upgraded to 10.1.10, tabs would almost always open in the same page as the link that contained it. If I wanted it to open in a new tab, or window, I can do that myself, using a menu. Now, it opens many more tabs than I need open, and only clutters up the screen, & adds more RAM usage to the already lumbering browser. Why is this happening, and is there any way to correct this?

    No, cause it happens on many sites. I don't see what makes it do that for most, but then once in a while, it will open over the current page, like it almost always did before. I know it does this when I click a link from any Google search results page, which I don't recall it doing before. Up till now (5.1.10), there was always a preference setting where I could select links opening in new tabs, or not. Now, they open wherever they choose to, usually in new tabs, but sometimes not....
    Here's my options:
    "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:
    Some links on webpages open in new Safari windows instead of replacing the current webpage. Choose Never to have such links open in new Safari windows instead of tabs. Choose Always to open new tabs instead of windows.
    Choose Automatically to have Safari open pages in tabs unless they’re designed to fit in specially formatted separate windows; Safari opens those pages in windows instead."
    So, none of these choices allow for pages to replace current webpages, which makes no sense.

  • Why do links open in new windows, not tabs, even when that option is selected?

    Since update to v. 6 and now 7.01, clicking on links opens a new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab. In Tools\Options\Tabs. I have selected "open new window in tab instead" and it has no effect.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, while running in FF in safe mode may be doing the trick and thus implies an extension (though not necessarily), I haven't added any new extensions. So it is likely a problem introduced by FF since v. 6 or so. I suppose it could be that the extensions themselves need updating by their creators.
    Regardless it is all very time-consuming and frustrating, especially for something that one would think would be readily fixable.

  • Why are Links and forms not working in mobile safari?

    Why do links and forms on the site I am designing not work in mobile safari? They work fine in desktop browsers.
    The controls change state when focused, so it's not that they're being blocked, they simply don't activate. Behavior tested and observed on iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and iPhone running iOS 7.0.2.
    Reference: http://gilli.co/test.html

    I had the same problem but I just found a solution. Siri mistakenly suggests to enable reminders (which you should), but the setting that enables all these, is under System Services (on the bottom of the page) -> Location Based Alerts. I had deactivated it alleviate battery problems and had forgotten about it. Hope this helps!

  • Why are the open windows not listed in any kind of order?

    It's bad enough there's no menu showing all the open tabs, but why does the dropdown menu for open Windows not be in ANY order whatsoever? It would certainly stop having to look up and down the list every time I want to go to a different window if they were in either alphabetical or chronological order.

    The windows listed in the Window menu are in chronological order starting with the oldest window near the top and the newest window at the bottom.
    The problem might be that you've opened a new tab in an old window. The windows are still listed in the same order but now they have the name of the newest tab.
    In my screenshot I opened this question in a new tab in my oldest window.

  • Why are jpegs opening in preview?

    I have my file type association set to CS5, yet suddenly jpegs are opening from Bridge into preview. Anyone know why?

    For last few years I had them open in preview from finder, but in Photoshop
    from Bridge. Was I just lucky and my luck ran out?
    Like Nini I also can't imagine why you should use Apple Preview. You can
    view them perfectly in Bridge self when making a custom workspace with big
    preview panel. And if you want to alter the jpeg files preview would
    probably the last option to do so, especially having Photoshop on your
    system ????
    But likely you had altered your camera raw preferences in setting jpeg and
    tiff files to always open in PS instead of the default setting only jpeg
    with altered ACR settings.
    When you have set preview as default opening app for jpeg using the info
    panel in the finder and the camera raw setting to always open in PS you
    probably have back what you want, but why using it that way is still unclear
    to me

  • Why are my open tab thumbnails missing?

    Samsung Galaxy S3. Until today I could see a "stack" of thumbnails representing my open tabs when I click the "page" icon in the upper right corner of the browser window. This would allow me to easily jump from one tab to another. Now when I click on the "page" icon I see only the thumbnail representing the currently open page. If I scroll up in the thumbnail area I will scroll through the open tabs. Scrolling down closes the selected tab. I can not get Firefox back to its original settings. Please help or I will have to uninstall Firefox and install another browser.

    Hmm, my tabs screen looks the same as other recent versions. Could you double check both the non-private and private tabs (the two icons at the upper left of the tabs screen) in case your missing tabs are in the other category?

  • Why are link default library dirs different from runtime default dirs?

    I'm fairly new to Linux and Arch in particular. I've been trying to get around most issues by myself and I've been successful in general. In fact, I'm writing not so much because of a problem, but to better understand why the solution I found works, and if it is the right solution for my case.
    So, I downloaded the source for a library I wanted to use (SFML if you're curious), built it and installed it. Looking around the net it seemed that the proper place to install things you compile yourself is /usr/local, so the libs went to /usr/local/lib. So far so good.
    I then made a quick test application to make sure everything was working properly (source can be seen here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-linux.php). It built correctly, but when I tried to run it I got an error that the library could not be found. So looking the error up in google, I found people saying you had to set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib directory. In fact, at the end of the SFML tutorial it suggests this as well, but only if you install in a non-standard directory.
    I found it odd that I should specify this variable. Had it been unset by something I did? Should I have set it before? I hadn't had to specify the directory when I built the program, which made it seem as though /usr/local/lib was a default directory. So why wasn't the library being found?
    A bit more research uncovered that one should not in fact rely on $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this, but instead you should specify it when building with -rpathDIR, so that the executable itself knows where to look. And indeed, setting this option when building fixed the issue.
    My question then, is: why do I have to specify the library path for runtime, but not when building? Is it normal for usr/local/lib to not be searched, or did I break something in my install? Is GCC just trying to be helpful and tripping me up by looking in places that are reasonable for libraries to be, but that the system itself won't search?

    Well, after reading and getting to know the AUR a bit, at least I know why /usr/local/lib wasn't searched.
    So, if I got it right, I have to use the AUR to download the build script to build a package. Then I use pacman to install that package. This sends the relevant binaries to where they need to go, which is where the system will look for them.
    So as long as I stay inside the build system, everything will go fine.
    If I don't build shared libraries myself, and limit myself to running my own executables, I shouldn't need to worry about the build system beyond this. If I ever want to send something I did to someone else, however, I need to create a package for them to build, which will have to work with whatever distribution package manager they have. Assuming I want to keep everything tidy.
    There is one more thing I'm not clear on, though. So I installed the packages, headers are in /usr/include, but where should I place the sources? If I want to debug something and follow a call into the library, for example?

  • Why are jpegs opening up in photoshop...

    hi... i'm not sure if this will make sense... i'm trying to make a disc of pictures that i have exported as Jpegs from iphoto to my desktop. these are photos that i have edited in photoshop, saved on my desktop as jpegs and transferred to iphoto (because as far as i know there's no way to save from photoshop to iphoto). so a while later i want to make a disc of some of them so i am exporting them as jpegs from iphoto to my desktop. i then am making a burn folder and burning a disc of them. MY QUESTION IS.. how come when i put the disc in either of my macs and click on a photo it is opening it up in photoshop? THESE ARE JPEGS so i don't get it. this disc i am making is for someone else and i want to make sure that they will be able to access these photos.
    thanks in advance.

    thanks for the prompt response- what i want to have happen when i click on the jpeg is that it opens the file on my desktop, not photoshop. am i hearing that if you've done any editing in photoshop, even if you save it as a jpeg, it will always open in photoshop? is there a way to change that? i'm just worried that the person i'm giving the disc to will have a hard time accessing the file. it seems like a pain if it's opening in photoshop--do they then have to resave it themselves as a jpeg to get it out of photoshop so that they can upload the file and get prints? when i tried the disc on my husbands computer, it opened in adobe photoshop and my husband has never even used that.  before i had PS i would just export them to the desktop from iphoto and it just opened them up on the desktop. it's weird that these photos have been imported into iphoto but they're still opening up in PS. again, is there a way to change this? sorry if this doesn't make sense.

  • Why are link behaviors working in my render but not my export?

    When I export my video, the link behaviors don't behave like they do when I preview the video in the player window. It's like the export feature doesn't even know they're there. What's going on?

    Hi Ben, thanks for helping.
    I set all of the Render settings as you said, both on the Preview Canvas as well on the Export settings.
    My export is still different than my preview. Here are the problems (all link behaviors):
    "Link Slit Scan"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Slit Scan.Glow
    Notes: In the preview, the slit scan is glowing bright white. In the export, it's completely dark.
    "Link Halftone"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Halftone.Mix
    Notes: In the preview, the halftone triggers along with the refraction. In the export, the halftone doesn't exist.
    Extra Note: This is the same behavior that keeps changing the target to "Filters.Bad TV.Mix" when I close and reopen the project.
    "Link Bad TV"
    Source Parameter: Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction
    Apply To: Filters.Bad TV.Waviness
    Notes: In the preview, the waviness triggers smoothly along with the refraction (when the Bad TV mix is up). In the export, the waviness is jittering out of control.
    By the way, Filters.Insect Eye.Refraction is controlled by an audio behavior, but the Refraction itself is working just fine.
    I'll check out Ripple Training too. Thanks!

  • Why are PSDs opening with flattened type?

    I'm opening PSDs in Photoshop CS5 Version 12.0.4 x 64 on my Mac and its flattening type layers.  It does it randomly, and I just open my PSDs through the recent documents menu.
    Anyone having this issue?

    Are you sure the fonts are loaded?
    Could you or someone else have checked »Don’t show again« in the warning dialog?

  • Why are apps opening upon start up in Macbook Pro?

    Whatever apps were open prior to shutting down continue to re open when I turn on my macbook pro.  None are listed in my startup programs, yet excel, iMessage, Safari and email open everytime I turn on my computer

    Yes you need to uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in" when you shut down and also if you don't want perticular application being opened in startup and you don't want to see it in dock,double click on the app on dock and goto options-> and uncheck it "open at login". Hope this helps..thanks.
