Why has new update totally slowed my computer down?

the new update has slowed my computer down drastically. Sites load very slowly, and sometimes not at all. Then, it continually reverts to "Firefox Updated" page

the password is an old one that I have not used in some time.
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Delete all the keychains for the sites you have trouble logging into.
Relaunch Safari then go to Safari / Preferences, seleect the Autofill tab. Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Now select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies or just the ones for the sites you mentioned.
Navigate to a site. After entering your user name and password, you should be prompted to save that data, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for you.
if you still have problems, open Keychain Access again. From the menu bar click Keychain Acces / Keychain FirstAid. Enter your admin password then click Verify. If necessary, click Repair.

HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.

Why would you suspect that?

You really need to provide more information than this.

Firefox.exe uses too much memory slowing the computer down, what can be done?

This doesn't happen every time I am using the browser, maybe half of the time. When it does happen it takes a long time for it to clear up. It can slow the computer down even after I have exited out of the program, maybe still not responding because of high memory usage. Is there anything I can do to get Firefox to run smoothly?

Some updates are better handled by Internet Explorer or the built-in updater, such as any updates from Microsoft's Windows Update or Office Update systems. (These systems are not compatible with other browsers.)
You can use the "all systems" page to download a full installer and then copy it over to your XP system.

Why does new update slow down my phone 4?

I have downloaded the new update and my phone is acting so messed up. Any info as to why, and possible fixes? Screen freezes, takes a long time to move from page to page and loads pages slow. Any info is appreciated.

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

What is this and why is it slowing my computer down?

My Macbook has been running really slow today, so I went to Activity Monitor to see what's hogging the memory and it seems that "AddressBookShari" is the culprit. I assume it's some sort of address book sharing, but I don't know. It's taking 570+ MB of real memory! If I kill it, it still comes back.
What exactly is this, and how can I make it stop hogging my resources?

OK, then the sharing is done from your other computer. When you subscribe to it that causes a "shared" connection between each computer. That is why the process is running. I wouldn't worry too much about it, though. When you aren't using Address Book the process will become idle and any memory it uses that's no longer needed will move to the Inactive RAM pool and become available to other applications.
If you don't use the Address Book you can always "unsubscribe" from the office computer.

Why has my iBook started to completely shuts down when power runs out?

I purchased my iBook G4 in early 2006 (OSX 10.4.11)
Until last week, I would regularly use my laptop until the battery charge was used up. I would get a low charge warning and it would automatically sleep. I could then plug it in to charge. When it was plugged in, I could touch the track pad or power button and all of the programs that were open when the power ran out would be there, just as I left them.
This has recently changed. Now when the power runs out, I receive the same low charge message, but instead of sleeping, my computer completely shuts down. When I press the power button to reboot, everything starts back up fine, but I get a message that my date and time are off and need to be reset. I then go to the Date and Time menu, which automatically updates through my wireless connection.
My questions are:
1. Why is it shutting down instead of sleeping?
2. Why is my date and time reseting to an incorrect date and time?

The difference is that in the past, your battery shut the computer down when their was enough juice to safely sleep the machine. Now it thinks it has enough juice, but it's truly running out. The battery is necessary to maintain the date and time in the computer.
Your battery needs to be calibrated. You should follow the instructions at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1959.html
This will allow the battery to truly know how much juice it has left.

New broadband extremely slow 0.54mb down, 0.08up

New broadband is extremely slow 0.54mb down, 0.08up - Customer support useless, can't and won't help me.
Firstly they forgot to oorder my homehub, which turned up today, 4 days after the line was connected and after complaining then finding out it was never ordered.
Secondly my broadband connectio is unstable and extreamly slow - Dial up would be faster.
I have contacted BT over the chat, then over the phone. They are useless, didn;t know what the problem was then finally after the chat dropped 5 times told me there was no problem and I could pay to fix it.
I then told the customer service that I would need to esculate the issue if they couldn't fix it and they then told me that they would call me back tomorrow! How is that going to fix the line problem?
Since I have been let down, im not sure what I can do? If BT can't fix the problem Can I cancel the line that was connected on Firday? I can get much better speeds over 3g and I feel I have been missold a 17MB unlimied connection that's not even fast or reliable enough to run the speed tester on.
How can the customer support say that there is no problem when clearly the line dropped several times and the onnection speed is so slow?
Solved!

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your routerr if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
can you enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.rds.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
