Why does do Apple discussions take forever to load on MBP compared to PC?

I am sitting at a lab computer (PC) and realized that my MBP loads discussions.apple.com super slowly. What's the reason? Is it Safari? Cause I find that Safari loads up pretty quickly, but once in operation, it's pretty slow actually.

I'm with Ian on this one. I use a PC at work and a MBP at home and when the servers are behaving, I see very little difference in page loading speed. The servers have been horrible in the past week or so, slow and going off-line quite often. They seem to be better yesterday and today.

Why does my iphone 3gs take forever to load withgame center

So i recently started to use my iPhone 3GS and when I played a game, it asked me to sign in, so i did and it kept loading and loading and i left it on for 20 minutes and it still didn't login. Is there any way to fix this? By the way, i'm using iOS 6.1.3

Hey there KyleVH,
It sounds like you are having issues signing into Game Center on your phone. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that working correctly again:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
Sign out of Game Center, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to Game Center with an Apple ID, reset your password or use another email address. To manage your Apple ID, go to My Apple ID.
When using a Wi-Fi connection, make sure that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
If you're on a Mac and still can't sign in, continue with the steps to resolve sign in issues.
If you have an issue with a Game Center game:
Make sure that you have the latest version of the game. To check for updates, open App Store and choose Updates.
Test your connection using a different game. If you can't connect with a specific friend or player in multiple games, they may need to check their Wi-Fi connection and router settings.
On iOS, try opening the game from the Home screen, rather than from within Game Center.
If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
If the issue persists, or certain features of a game aren't working as expected (leaderboards, achievements, and so on), use the App Store to report the problem to the developer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Why does my Apple TV take 3 hours to update, only to tell me, "The update was not successful?"

My Apple TV takes forever to update, an then tells me "The update was unsuccessful." What can I do? It's connected to my network via Ethernet.

Slow Internet connection is one possibility.

Why does exporting to m4v take forever?

I've done a lot of QuickTime exporting and converting in my time and I just got a video iPod and would like to put a few videos on it but I can't for the life of me figure out why exporting to m4v takes so darned long. Anyone know? Exporting to huge file formats like .dv and such only take a minute or two, but my 20 meg .mov file takes almost an hour to convert to .m4v
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Check out this article.
http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/000312.html
It explains a lot about how compression to H.264 works.
Also, look at it like this. If I asked you to pack an average sized dorm room into a dump truck, no sweat, just toss everything over the side and you're done. However, if you had to do the same thing with a Toyota Celica, it'd take you longer because you've got to make the best use of all the space, including under the seat and around the tire well.
QuickTime is also doing 2-passes over your media. After reading the above article, you'll see why this is a good thing. Since QuickTime doesn't allow you to choose a bitrate, I also figure that it's fitting your media as close to 768 kbps as possible and this would take some finagling too.
There ARE tools that are faster than QuickTime, but it seems that as speed increases, so does file size and file size directly affects battery life.

Why does my apple tv take so long to download tv shows

Having trouble with tv shows that I purchased not downloading to apple tv. Read on one post about going into the gateway of the router and changing a setting that should make it work. We have Comcast and it said that there's an issue with Comcast and Apple tv. Never had this problem before and don't have any problems with other things like Hulu or Netflix just apple tv. Did the change recommended through the Gateway and it seemed to work that night but the following night it's the same thing all over again. Called and was on the phone with Comcast and checked the settings and they're the right settings that we changed it to the night before but for some reason it's not doing any good anymore. I've not seen any real answers to this problem. Anyone know of a sure fix for this. It's getting really annoying.

The issue is with the network. Netflix and Hulu adapt to your connection whereas iTunes content is fixed and need to load a portion before playback begins.
Check current connection, use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
Comcast have been known to throttle connections so you may want to look into that as well.

Why does my apple tv take hours to download

When I first got my appletv earlier this year it could download movies in a minute and now I am looking at a couple of hours waiting time. How ridiculous. What is going on? I rented a movie that I have made several attempts to watch and now it has run out of time before it can play - a waste of money!

Unplug and restart it which you may have done.
If on wi-fi check signal strength in Settings>About.
Try ethernet if possible.
In Settings there's an entry wher it can send diagnostci network info to Apple - I forget the name but turn it off.
Are you using a custom DNS server - some reportedly slow AppleTV access down - if so try going back to defauly ISP DNS server settings - some have reported this can help.
These kind of things can be hard to track down, but if you know you have decent internet speed, and can ensure that on AppleTV by using ethernet then I'd factory restore the unit with a micro USB cable alone used to hook AppleTV up to computer running iTunes - you may need to contact iTunes Store support to get a rental refund. If restoring doesn't help and you've exhausted obvious avenues it's possible your device is faulty - I'd get Apple to replace it.

Why does repair disk permissions take forever

Why do short video clips take forever to load?

With apologies for coming to you good folks with an issue than any twit should already know how to solve . . .
I was thrilled when your excellent instructions helped me load flash player successfully. I was able to preview quite a few video clips to show my Fine Arts Survey class. Then just yesterday everything slowed down to slower than a snail's pace. Even the shortest video clips at youtube are taking forever. Can you give me some leads on things to check? Does something build up with every new video clip watched? I do a huge amount of browsing (internet explorer) and searching (ixquick), but it is a necessary evil for engaging teens in a survey course.
I do see tiny pop-ups that ask if Adobe can save something on my computer. Am I an idiot?
Any leads or links you may be able to share will be appreciated,
jmw

Since you mention Internet Explorer, I assume that you are on Windows.
Do you sometimes clear your browser cache? (Tools | Internet Options | tab General | Delete browsing history)
Do you sometimes clear Flash Player local storage? (Control Panel | Flash Player Settings Manager | tab Storage | Delete all)
Does enable/disable Hardware Acceleration make any difference? (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed? (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)
Finally, is your Internet connection stable?

Takes forever to load YouTube or anything else. Network works fine on iPad and iPhone.

My new Apple TV takes forever to load up you tube or any content
Using wifi. My network is fine and all other devices have no issue
Loading same content. I have updated the latest software
and did not help.

Spent 1.5 hours with a Senior Apple Advisor. Apple practically turned my iMac inside out determining nothing is wrong. He said the key phrase to tell Verizon and earthlink is that the ping does not respond. Ports 110 & 587 do not respond.
1 hour with a Verizon rep who initiated a 3 way call with earthlink.
2 hours with an earthlink person who claims the only ports to use are the ones I have. I don't believe that.
Problem is still not solved.
At this point earthlink has opened a ticket and is supposedly looking into this. I do not have much hope of a response from them.

Why does my Windows Live Hotmail take forever to load?

Over the past month or so, my Firefox browser hasn't been playing very nicely with Windows Live Hotmail. For one, it takes forever to load the page, and I stare at a white screen for a good 3 minutes before it finally loads. HughesNet is my Internet Service Provider, and it shouldn't take that much time for my Hotmail to load. I could see it if it were a DialUp connection being this slow! The other thing I want to mention is that for some reason, my SilverLight plugin keeps crashing! All of my 3rd party plugins are fully up to date, including my SilverLight. It won't allow me to upload pictures to attach to e-mails! Instead, I get a sad face, telling me that my SilverLight has crashed! What is the problem that is causing this? So you know, I have the latest version 9.0.1, and it is fully up to date. Thank you. Michael Gronemeyer

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
Thank you

The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.
