Why is my safari running slow after updating my mac?

My safari is running slow after completing a software update. I have cleared the cache. It did not help.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

Safari extremely slow after update?

Posting this for a friend using OS 10.5.8
"I have noticed my Safari suddenly seems very slow.
It shows ‘Loading’ in the box that also shows ‘RSS feed’ in black (that’s normal), but once it goes to the page required, it still shows ‘loading’ but this time it's greyed out.
Sometimes it goes away in a few seconds, other times it remains there.
This has only started happening today. Yesterday I did a software update for it – it was Safari and ProKit (‘fraid I don’t know what ProKit is).
Have you any ideas/can you help at all?"
Any suggestions appreciated
Ian

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
If Safari's performance is still on the slow side, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If Safari runs as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Why is my computer running slower after upgrading to Maverick?

So my computer seems to be running slower, doing anything at all after I installed the newest OS, Maverick. Anyone have an idea as to why that might be? What can I do to make it better?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I found this other discussion below. Thanks.

Unless you've added RAM since you bought the computer, you could probably increase the performance by adding RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

HP envy 15 running slow after updateing to Win 10

Hello Can anyone help me. i updated my hp envy 15 to win 10 and after that it boots to long and runs slow and does not wake up from sleep mode..When i had win 8.1 there was no problems.is this a HP problem or microsoft's? tnx for your response

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook and the Touch display doesn't respond to touch after a Windows 10 update. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem. Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10. Here is a link to your driver page. I would try the section on Driver -Chipsets. Intel Management Engine Interface Driver should help. Restart the Notebook after the install. I hope something here helps you. Thanks.

Why is Indesign CC running slow after opening CS4 doc?

Hi all,
I have a problem with InDesign CC.
After I opened an CS4 document in CC the program is starting to run very slow.
Even creating an empty new document is a problem.
The CS4 document is a newspaper with a lot of links in it with a filesize of around 65mb.
Any one familiar with this problem and know a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Did you already save it as CC version and after re-opening still slow?
If not slow after saving, consider it as an effect from conversion to CC.

Why does my ipad run slow since update

Since updating the software, my ipad runs slow, particularly games and web

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Why can't safari be open after updating to 7.1?

Why is my macbook running slower after loading OSX mountain lion?

Just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and my laptop seems to be running slower - delayed window filling, etc. Anyone else notice this problem or have any solutions? Should I just go in to see a genius?
TIA,
ddhall

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Macbook pro 13" running slow after update

After the iTunes update(version 10.7) and OS X Lion update that was rolled out a few weeks ago, my macbook pro 13" has been runnning slow at times. These are mainly those times when I am listening to music on itunes and browsing on safari (and no other activity). In case I am using more than these two applications, it almost certainly runs VERY slow and I am forced to restart. Without itunes, it runs fine though.
Any help anyone?

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Safari runs slow after installing mountain lion

Safari is running very slowly since I installed Mountain Lion. Any suggestions about why this is happening or how to improve the speed?

I ordered something from a website I haven't used before, and it was very slow, but I don't know if it's that website or safari. Safari is the only browser I use.

TS4002 Mail is running slow after update

After the recent update on mail it is running at a snail's pace. Any suggestions why or what to do? I don't have mountain Lion

Seems like this process worked out. I copied over the Mail folder in Library >Application Support, replaced Mail in Library and com.apple.mail.plist in Preferences. Feels much better <3
I'm thinking Mail just had enough after years of adding and deleting several email accounts. I also think Apple had changed the manner in which data is stored for Mail. The folder structures and file locations don't appear to be the same in the two user accounts.

Why is my MacMini running slow after stop using it for while

Hi,
Last night after a year or more I decided to turn-on myMacMini to let my daughter use it and to my surprise it’s running very slow evenwhen just surfing the internet and I know it wasn’t like that in fact this usedto be my primary machine until I bought a MacBook but I used to run Photoshop,Flash, Lightroom etc without any problems, it wasn’t supper fast because thisis a PowerPC MacMini 1.6Hz, 40Gig (50% free space), 1Gig and I’m running Leopard (upgraded fromTiger), but it wasn’t as slow as is right now. I was thinking to reinstallTiger thinking that this is because it’s running Leopard but as I said it wasrunning fine before (with Leopard).
Do I need to reinstall the operating system or start doing adisk repair and see if it helps?
Any Idea what could be wrong?
I know this is not a super machine but as I said this is formy daughter just for surfing the internet.
Thanks a lot!

I don't know what happened but while was trying to do a printscreen pressing shift-command+4 to show the processes I noticed that it wentdown I probably pressed the wrong buttons when trying to do the print-sreen butI don't know which keys I actually pressed, what I did see is that the processthat was taking most of the CPU resources was one called “mds” and I don’t knowwhat it is.
Process Name: User:
mds root
Any idea what could be causing the problem?
Thanks a lot
