My internet has started running extremely slowly for no apparent reason. Please help?

The internet on my Macbook suddenly started running very slowly, it can take 5-10 minutes to load a page. This isn't a problem with my internet connection as our other devices are working fine. I have tried installing updates but seems to be too slow for them to install and have also reset Safari.
Appreciate your help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My MacBook Pro has just started getting really warm for no apparent reason, any ideas why?

Should I use my Apple Care, or is there a quick fix?

you see what is running on your computer (because CPU usage is what makes the procesor(s) get hot) by opening the application "Activity Monitor" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities", then select the "CPU" tab (at the bottom) and sort the information in the top section by "%CPU":
This will show you what application is using the most CPU time and is the most likely candidate for why your machine is warming up. You can also quit all applications, then reboot to see if that resolves the problem.

I was having trouble with flash causing hangs but i have had firefox 5 for 5 minutes or less and it has already hung three times for no apparent reason - this is not an improvement - google chrome beckons

Windows 7, pretty new machine, regular checkes with AVG (daily) and malwarebytes (every 3 days), put firefox 5 on today - looked at the websites of three british newspapers, the bbc, facebook, three hangs in 5 minutes, restarted each time

please try to uninstall the adobe flash plugin from the windows control panel. afterwards manually delete any leftover files in ''C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash'' and download & install the plugin again (uncheck the option to install the bundled security software): www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

TS3276 Well it happened again. Why does my apple me account stop sending mail for no apparent reason. One minute it is working find and 10 seconds latter you get error messages that it does not recognize your password. I am really fed up with the mail sof

Things were going well. Mail was working fine and then the following error message appears out of nowhere. I had not changed any settings. From that point on all efforts to send mail failed, and the error message appeared even thought I used the password to log back in after I quit. Now, an hour after the problem started it takes my password (on the second try after the error message appears) once and sends a test message. Then, one minute later it gives the error message again and refuses to send anything. Why is mail so inconsistent? What can I do in the future to address the problem?
Error message reads "The SMTP server "xxxxx" rejected the password for user "xxx" Please re-enter your password or cancel.
When mail does work again. Should I click the remember this password in keychain or am I just asking for more trouble?
I'm writing this using my IMac computer in a different room. The error also occurs on my powerbook running my new MacBook Pro 12 inch.
Fed up Mac user.

I"m no expert but this used to happen to me all the time (stop downloading, asking for my password, nothing downloading, walking away- 24 hours or more later, all is fine, only to later start all over again)
Well, i gave up for a long time and stopped using that account with mac mail and only accessed it online..recently went and changed the pop3 to only pop and now it works beautifully and seamlessly. Don't ask me why or how, but it does so thought I'd share.

Now all of a sudden, most of my music will not play "because the original file could not be found" for no apparent reason, and I can't get it back. Thanks a ******* LOT, iTunes!! Now I can't even listen to over $1,000 of my songs because of

FU

The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Why does this video keep opening in new tab for no apparent reason

This annoying MacDonalds promotional video keeps opening in a new tab for no apparent reason:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUdR9vly6s
I don't do anything. I'm just reading a web page and a new tab will open with this video playing. Any idea what is going on here?

When does the window open? What were you doing at the time?
What are your HomePage, and Newtab pages?

Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
Whatever. Again, many thanks.

WRT160NL NAS error why has linksys not fixed it yet?

Every once in a while, my linksys router keeps locking up on the "storage" page. It will do so until I disconnect my hd from the router, plug it into a computer, and delete the twonky information. I'm waiting on the next firmware patch to come out as I've already talked to customer support.
Why has Linksys not fixed this yet and what are they waiting for? There's a ton of problems in the WRT160NL that need correction!

What is the Model no of the HDD you are using.Check this link for the compatible HDD for WRT160NL....Try to hard-reset the router for 1 minute,power cycle the router and reconfigure it from the scratch.

AP has been crashing and has been "Not Responding"

I can't believe this! Ever since I chose to do the most recent update (2.1.3?), AP has been crashing and has been "Not Responding" and I almost Force Quit before it before it came back to life.
First I imported from an existing folder (using referenced) and I chose to "Move" the images.... well the images were copied NOT moved... So, I wanted to try it again with a different destination and see if I could get them moved and not copied....
I was importing a "Folder as a Project" (this time) and I chose to move the images (allowing duplicates to be present) to the newly defined location (less than 300 pics) and AP ended up crashing and now I see there are more than 9,000 images in that folder... Wow, what a royal MESS!!!!!!!
How can I undo this monstrosity mess that AP has created.....???????????????
I was very careful as I did this.... what could have caused this and how can I fix it??????
Help!
Robert

Okay, so not a popular thread....
Any thoughts???
I've been avoiding fixing the damage described above...

That sounds like a hardware problem.

I cannot hear callers unless using speakerphone. the phone is not on mute, the problem has started for no apparent reason and rebooting has not resolved the problem. Any ideas?

My iphone 4 (Model MD128B/A) running iOS 7.1.2 has developed a problem when receiving calls, for no apparent reason. The caller can hear me, but unless I switch to speakerphone, I cannot hear them. The mute button still functions normally. I have rebooted the phone but this has not resolved the issue. Any ideas about how to resolve this problem? Thanks.

Hello manleyjohn,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to hear callers though the receiver on your iPhone 4 unless you change the sound to the speaker. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and verifying that the troubleshooting steps have been completed. If the issue continues, it may be necessary to follow the link towards the bottom of the article and contact Apple Support.
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

"Not responding" appears for 60 seconds - why?

I am using Firefox ver. 4.0.1 with Google toolbar; Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit
When I click the Mozilla icon "Not Responding" appears for about 60 seconds. I wonder why this is happening? Could it be a service has not started? What is FF looking for or waiting for. What should happen when I click the Firefox icon? How can I log events and see exactly what did happen?
