Why is FF 6.0.2 SO slow ? It takes 2 minutes to open any given web page

What details can I give ? It's taking ages to open the pages. Even if I am already on a page and click "home" just to refresh the page it takes a minute to load it. and 60 seconds is a long time.

Did it work fast in 6.0.1? or 5.0? Are you really sure that the problems you're describing started in this particular version.
Could you go to mozilla.org and download 7.0 and see if that solves it for you again? It's a much faster version.

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

Slow Leopard Takes forever to open MS Office 2008

Over the last few weeks/months, I have noticed that it is taking minutes (NOT Seconds) to open MS Office Apps (Excel, Word, Entourage). This has now become very, very annoying and wondering if there is something I can do to fix this.
Or do I wait for Snow Leopard to replace Slow Leopard.
Please help.

Greetings,
It should not take minutes, but it will take a few seconds, to load. I have used Office 2004, and 2008 - they both work fine for me, and always have. I'd say that Office 2008 loads up Excel in about 15 seconds, and that''s with email up, and maybe one browser instance. I just did it, and it was 17 seconds to load Excel and be ready to enter data.
Do you have enough memory, and are you loading an excessive number of apps? Look in your account profile and see what you're starting there. Also are you indexing, is Time machine running, or any other activity going on when you are trying to load Office?
Find out what is running a the time you are trying to load Office.
Cheers,
M.

Applewroks is very slow when initiating or when opening any file.

Every certain time, after erasing my hard disk and installing operating system and appleworks, the application begins with a symptom that is put recurrent more and more, when trying to execute the application this is put very slow and if attempt to open a file happens exactly the same.
I cannot give with which it causes this fault, the other applications (OS x 10.2.8, MS Word X, Saffari, etc.) they work without no problem.
I would like to know if there is some user who happens something to him similar and which would be the solution that it avoids to erase everything and to return to install?

I have upgrade my iMac to the new OS X Maverick but now my computer is extremely slow and takes longer to open up everything. Has any one else had this issue?

Ihave just upgrade my imac to the new os x maverick and now its very slow to open everything.
Have any one else had these issues

MacKeeper is utter garbage!!!!
Before even attempting an OS X upgrade, completely remove this serious "crapware" from your system!!!!!
If you do not believe me, do a search in these support forums for MacKeeper and you can see for yourself!
Get rid of it!
See if your system speeds up after completely ridding your system of everything connected to MacKeeper.
Please, start a new thread and do not hijack a thread of another user posting!
Why are you so concerned about "cleaning out" your Mac?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
Download and install and run Etrecheck.
Copy and paste its information iinto a new posting so that we can see all the necessary details of your Mac system so we may begin to address your Mac issues.

Good Luck!

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Why does a link to zip file on server open a blank web page?

Using CS6, I created this page: J & B Computers - Projects I've uploaded 2 zip files and linked them from this page with this code: <a href="Zip Files/CheckIPApp.zip" target="_blank">Download a zip file of the IP Checking utility</a> When this link is clicked, it opens up a blank tab instead of prompting for a download. I've tried it with and without the target=blank, I've also tried target=new... I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox. I've tried it on different computers. I've searched for an answer for hours... what the heck is going on? I want the link to open up the save/download box and it just won't... TIA if you have a resolution!

Since it's a file download, there's no reason to add the target="_blank", I'm guessing your file is 404 for some reason which would give you a blank window per the target.
Make sure the case structure of the file and link are identical. Servers are case sensitive, a server sees CheckIPApp.zip and checkIPApp.zip as totally different files. Your local OS sees them as the same thing so during local testing it will work, when uploaded, it won't.
Make sure you've loaded the file onto the server at the exact location specified by the link. It should be in a folder called "Zip Files" that resides on the same directory level as the page that the link is on.
You may also want to normalize your file names. They should be all lower case alpha-numerics without any spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead) and without special characters ($%&*). You can use DW's Files window to change names and DW will fix the links automatically.

When I try to open a pdf billing statement it opens a blank web page and does not download the pdf or open its reader. Why not?

I click on a link to download last months billing statement for say my phone provider. A new web page opens that is blank. The pdf file that is supposed to download and open up in Adobe or other PDF reader does not show up or open up.

You can open with any of the following (if they are installed on your ipad) by tapping on the PDF file
1. iBooks
2. Adobe Reader
3. GoodReader
4. Quickoffice
5. And many more

IMac suddenly too slow to open vital apps, web pages

This started sometime in the last week or two. My iMac, which until now has always run smoothly, will now get the rotating beach balls when trying to open my Pro Tools sessions and other apps I need for work. I've tried many of the generally suggested remedies from others with similar problems, i.e. safe mode reboot, repair permissions, verify disk, clear cache files, clear up some HD space, etc. I suspect a third-party app I downloaded somewhere along the line is the culprit but for the life of me I cannot figure this out. Starting to get very frustrating. Here is my etrecheck report:

Back up your Mac, if you have not already done so. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
You inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.
OS X's Gatekeeper has been disabled. This basic Mac security feature is an essential defense against malware intrusion. To re-enable it read OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
That Mac has been affected by MacPaw "CleanMyMac". Read below.
It is not reasonable to expect a Mac to operate normally after using CleanMyMac. Like many ill-conceived "cleaning" utilities, it is capable of corrupting a Mac to the point that erasing it completely is the only practicable means of recovery. CleanMyMac is not the only example; it is merely popular due to marketing strategies that are as effective as they are intrusive.
There is no practicable way to reverse the effects of having used CleanMyMac2 other than to reinstall all affected files from backups or their original sources. Its developer's uninstallation instructions are ineffective despite their recent claims to the contrary. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
Reinstalling OS X alone will have no effect on either removing CleanMyMac or reversing the damage it is capable of inflicting upon a system.
Follow the applicable recovery procedure below:
If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.
If you do not have a backup that predates the use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.

Why after a recent systems update, I can't copy text from the internet (every web page) and paste into word?

MacBook Pro Community,
I need help. After a recent systems update this week, I can not longer copy and paste text from the internet. I have never had this problem before. I have searched through systems preference and google'ed it. Please help!!
Thank you!

A book is a lot of work and in the end needs to not only be openable, printable, but also be laid out with facing pages amongst other numerous desirable features.
None of which suggest Pages 5 to me.
If you want to persist in Pages 5.5 you will have to laboriously cut and paste the content into one file and hope that will still be usable when you are finished.
Or you could export to Pages '09 or pdf format and assemble it there.

After the 5.0 upgrade, why is it every time I start Firefox I get the welcome to 5.0 web page you are up to date? Plus My home page opens at the same time.. Its annoying.I can not stop it.

I turned off auto upgrades I defaulted my home page I made a blank home page I cannot get rid of the double page on the initial start up of the browser.

See these articles for some suggestions:

After updating to 4.0.1 (linux, x86-32) the popup-blocker prevents to open links from web-pages, e.g. from google news! Why?

I just updated to 4.0.1 and since that moment the popup-blocker seems to block even normal links which are opened in a tab in previous versions.
When I disable the popup-blocker everything works as before (but popups will open of course).

Slow 24in imac. pinwheel constantly running switching applications web pages ect...

this problem is if i do a restart it runs good for a few hours. have ran disk utility,smc reset,& pram reset. so far this has made no difference. any other suggestions. used to be a windows user. somewhat new to mac. really dont have anything sucking up memory(at least that i know of) just pics and music.

How much free HD space does it have. Mac's need a minimum of 10-15% of the total HD available at all times. For example if it has a 640GB HD, at a minimum 64-96GB should be free.
If it has plenty of disc space it could be very low on RAM. Open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and first look to see if any processes are taking a large %CPU. If you see that occurring then that app is the problem. While you are in AM click the System Memory tab and report back how much:
Free
Wired
Active
Inactive
Used
RAM your system has under normal circumstances. If the Free RAM is in the are of 500MB or lower then it needs a RAM upgrade.
