Why is Safari 5.1 this slow? How do I fix it?

I did the update, and got Safari 5.1. And now when I enter certain websites, such as facebook, the ball thing twirls for 30 seconds, everytime I try to scroll down or just click at anything. It is incredibly annoying. I've tried everything.
- I reset Safari.
- I erased all history.
- I updated flash and java and so on.
- I restarted the computer.
WHAT AM I TO DO??? I still want to use safari, but they are making it pretty **** hard for me.

THANK YOU! This helped me solve the horrible 5.1 performance! By disabling plugins, Safari returned to its normal fast scrolling and great speed! So then all I had to do was figure out which plugin was causing the problem. It turns out that it was ClickToFlash plugin in the <yourname>/library/plugins folder. I tossed that out and everything is back to normal. Now I use the ClickToFlash Extension, (not the plugin) and everything is great.
Yeah sometimes the 5.1 version is not very stable. There are like too many plugin that need to run before the browser open which would make it become slow. In fact last time it just the same with Google chrome. Last time I have like too many application for perfumes importados site that integrated with Apple and I saved their plugin, then the problems occur. So like the ClickToFlash would solve the problem

Why is Safari blocking flash plugins and how do i fix this?

Just as the tittle says. I upgraded flash and all that jazz and nothing....What could I not be doing to fix this? Any help is great thanks.

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

My iTunes won't open. Says I don't have permission. Why is my computer doing this and how can I fix it so I can access my iTunes?

And is there someone who can help me resolve this problem? I've uninstalled iTunes but even when I put it back on, it says the same thing over and over again.

I'm having the same problem. iTunes won't open and says I don't have permission. What do I do now?

The screen on my MacBook has been flickering and shaking up and down. It starts flickering, shaking, gets 'pixelated,' then eventually begins to fade to white and freezes. Restarting sometimes helps, but only temporarily. Why is this? How can I fix it?

The screen on my MacBook has just started flickering and shaking up and down while I am using it. The screen starts flickering, shaking, gets pixelated, begins to freeze, and eventually fades to white. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
It is a newer MacBook, just over 1 year. It is well cared for, hasn't been dropped, etc. I don't want to pay for expensive repairs for such a new computer, and I certainly can't afford a new one!
I've tried updating my system like the Support page suggested, but no improvement. The problem started just the other day, and is progressively getting worse.
.... as I typed this, it did it again. Only, this time it did not flicker and shake, but got 'pixelated' (pixels came up checkered-like darkened and lightened). It did this for about 2 minutes and then stopped after I did not touch the computer.... Now it is flickering... HELP!

it means that it is not a hardware issue. Other then that, Im not too sure. Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you. Good luck

Hey there Raymondd2014,
It sounds like you had been updating the phone and now it is in recovery mode. Take a look at this info first:
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
If you are unable to get out of Recovery Mode, use the following article to restore your device with iTunes:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If you don't see your device in iTunes follow these steps for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Hi..
Your profile indicates your Mac has v10.6.4 installed. Is that correct?
Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac
Which version do you see?

Why does Safari ask me this every time I open my Macbook? "NONE OF YOUR PREFERRED NETWORKS ARE AVAILABLE. CHOOSE THE WI-FE NETWORK YOU WANT TO JOIN FROM THE LIST BELOW. "

Under Preferred Networks, if you see more than one network name listed, click and drag yours to the top then click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

If you have connected to other wi-fi successfully, then your wi-fi should be working. Try power cycling the router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it has come back, try connecting again.

At times my mac runs the internet soooo slow, how do I fix this?

At times my mac runs slow.how do I fix this....the color wheel will spin over and over....

You haven't provided much information, so it's hard to tell where the slowness comes from. Before I answer your question, I'll need to ask a few others:
1. Does the slowness happen all the time, or in relation to specific applications?
2. Do you notice if the slowness is related to being online, or offline?
3. When did you notice the slowness?
4. What kind of computer do you use - type, year, amout of RAM?
5. Do you use the Mac OS, or in conjunction with Windows? What version for each?
6. Do you have other Apple products? Similar or dissimilar problem?
7. How long have you used this computer/operating system?
This may seem like a lot of questions, and I may have to follow up on specific questions to narrow down the search. I wish there were a more precise way of proceeding, but your answers will help determine the solution.

Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

How big is your library? I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
- Backup your library. Always a good idea before messing with things.
- Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589. This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one. Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
- Add a few albums into this new library. Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
- Activate Match on this new library. You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
- At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.

IS IT IMPOSSIBLE? My iTunes library says 4149 songs, my iPhone says 4148 songs, and my iPad says 4147 songs. Why don't they match?! How can I fix it???

My iTunes library says 4149 songs, my iPhone says 4148 songs, and my iPad says 4147 songs. Why don't they match?! How can I fix it???

Yes. I selected all songs and checked them (in case I missed a few) and synced. I have also tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. I tried selecting all songs and unchecking them, re-syncing my phone (which didn't get rid of the songs on my phone like i thought it would), then selected all songs again, checked them, and resynced again--nothing changed. I went to the iTunes store and selected "Check for all available downloads" and it gave me the message"All purchases have been downloaded for this account." I checked for duplicates, deleted a few and resynced. This reduced the number of songs, but it still doesn't match what the iTunes library says...I don't know what to try next...
