Why is this page slowing down in Internet Explorer ?

The swapping of images is so slow on this page. Is this the SwapImage() function in Dreamweaver ? The reason I am asking is that all other browsers tackle this very well. So, if somebody has any idea why this is so I would appreciate it sooooooo much....

Thank you for anwering both of you :-)
It's a funny thing. I tried on both IE8 and 9 with slow swapping. A few minutes ago I uninstalled internet Explorer, and when I restarted, IE8 was still there, but now the swapping is fast and smooth...
Sorry for this, I can't provide much of an explanation....
Thanx

Time Machine backups slow down TC internet connection

I'm having a problem with my TC internet connection slowing down dramatically. When I connect my DSL modem directly to my Mini, it's fine. When I connect it to the TC there are big slow downs off and on. I'm wondering if the backups done by TM slow down the internet connection and the network as a whole.

Over ethernet no, it would have almost no effect.. over wireless yes.. it can have a big effect.
How big are the backups generally? These should only be incremental and relatively small.
Measure your actual speed of copying a file to the TC.. if you can put numbers to it, that will help. Use the Activity Monitor and see what is the average speed copying a file or when TM is backing up.
Any improvements to the wireless speed will reduce the time the backup runs and how much time your internet is slow. Wireless is highly range and signal dependent. You might find a network rearrangement where you use the TC close to the Mini can solve the issue.. especially if you can connect to it by ethernet.. and then wireless bridge if you need to.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

When I respond to an email (through hotmail), the initial email does not appear in my response. This does not happen with internet explorer where I can see the email I am answering. I would like this to happen with Firefox. It used to.

I use Firefox for my emails (hotmail). When I respond to an email, it does not appear under my response as it used to. This does not happen with internet explorer.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== about a month ago

Hello Jack.
See this support article:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+look+wrong
I hope it helps.

Since upgrading firefox why is the system slowed down to the point of frustration i.e scrolling upand down , clicking on pages it seems to take an age

even filling this form in has taken a lot longer than just clicking and typing ,scrolling down a page it seems to pause then stutters . if i have various web pages open to compare something similair it seems to be slowing down . To write this some of the actions to write seems to halt and i am not a fast typer .just tried your installed plugins window it wont move

Possibly something in the profile got damaged. You could try troubleshooting.
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting
I am seeing more and more of these complaints since Mozilla began trying to force updates. I think it is time to disable updates to Firefox and avoid the use of the "Check for Updates" button (since it no longer merely checks). You can see the current release version on the green button on this page:

Why is my iMac slowing down? Have EtreCheck info. Could someone check?

Hi, I would love for someone to help me work out why my iMac is starting to slow down. Do I need to get more GB?

First, removing "iAntiVirus" will have no effect if you're running Yosemite, because it doesn't load in Yosemite.
Back up all data immediately if you haven't already done so. You should have done that before doing anything else.
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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

The spinning beach ball - why has my MacBook slowed down SO much?

My MacBook has become terribly slow. I get the spinning beachball almost every time I hit a key now, and I am just about ready to throw everything out the window. Mainly I use my laptop for internet browsing (Safari only), iTunes and iPhoto. I do have third party stuff on my computer such as the software for my Nike Fuelband, and Jawbone Updater for my Jambox. I have Java too, which I probaby don't need. Oh I also have some card games - but those sorts of things I get from the App Store. I don't muck around with settings or anything, because I don't know anything about that! I just USE my laptop. So having said that, I don't know why I would have the spinning beachball as my new sidekick....
I have followed instructions I found on another discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5303293?start=0&tstart=0) to test my MacBook. My results are good news I think: Logging in as a guest account, everything runs like I would hope - iTunes opens up quickly, same with iPhoto, and when I look up sites on Safari they load up quickly. I then started in safe mode, and logged in as myself. Excusing the "stuttering" of the graphics and such, I would say that in safe mode things moved along much more quickly. I got the beachball in safe mode but not every time I tried opening something, and only briefly when it did appear.
My question is, where do I go from here? How do I "clean up" or fix my MacBook so that it runs like it used to? Like I say, I think it must be good news that in those test scenarios my MacBook performs much more like the good old days. Does this suggest that my own account just has crap on it that needs to go? And if so, the big question is, how on earth would I go about identifying the source(s) of the problem and then getting rid of them?
I have searched some on the forums here but I'm at a bit of a loss because I don't really even know what to search for! As I say, I am a complete user only! I do follow instructions pretty well though, so if anyone could point me to the right help page or give me further advice, I would be oh-so-grateful!
cheers,
Lydia

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as certain other aspects of the configuration that may have a bearing on the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode, if possible. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable text output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
P=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; E () { [ "$o" ] && echo $'\n'$1: && echo "$o"; }; F () { o=$($P -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); E "$1"; }; { o=$(kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'); E "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); E "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); E "Inserted libraries"; o=$(crontab -l); E "User cron tasks"; o=$(cat /e*/lau*); E "Global launchd configuration"; o=$(cat ~/.lau*); E "Per-user launchd configuration"; F "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginwindow.plist Path; F "Per-user login items" L*/P*/com.apple.loginitems.plist Path; F "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ | wc -l); [ "$o" == 0 ] || printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $o; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do $P -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist" | egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" && echo ${d%/Contents}; done); E "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); E "Unsigned shared libraries"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); E "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
E () { [ "$o" ] && echo $'\n'$1: && echo "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'); E "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); E "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l); E "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); E "Log check"; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal.
To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — no typing is involved, apart from your password. Also remember to post the output.

Why does Photoshop keep slowing down?

I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 for two years now, and for some reason it seems to have the problem of slowing down after using it for a while, so if I'm working on a project I have to keep closing it and reopening it to get it fast again. It's weird because it doesn't seem to matter how much stuff is on the canvas, it's just how much I've drawn and hit undo and erased or did anything, After like 5 minutes of straight work it just gets too slow for me to work in, like when I switch tools or change the color it takes a couple seconds to respond. So literally every couple minutes I have to restart Photoshop and open the same file.
What's really odd is that sometimes Photoshop will work perfectly fine and stay lightning fast for hours. Like, for the last couple of months it's been 100% fine, but since a few days ago it started to have this "slowing down" issue again. Every couple months it seems to decide to be perfectly fine or just really annoying. I didn't change anything in my computer.
It can't be my computers specs or my settings in Photoshop, but I will tell you all of that anyway.
OS - Windows 7 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz

There is no malware scanner running, in fact I have tried closing out all other applications and unnecessary processes to help improve performance. No luck.
Also, my post actually wasn't quite finished, but my internet shut off on me last night and I guess that just automatically posted whatever I had done before then. What's even better is that the forums won't allow me to edit it. What great features!
Anyway, here's the FULL spec sheet of my computer...
OS - Windows 7 64-bit
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
RAM - 12GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
Storage - 1x 128GB SSD (OS installed on), 1x 750GB HDD, 1x 160GB HDD
I have the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended, installed on the SSD. Here's the settings I have in the preferences:
Memory Usage - 100%
Scratch Disks - All 3, SSD 1st, 750GB HDD 2nd, 160GB HDD 3rd
History States - 100
Cache Levels - 8
Cache Tile Size - 1028K
I have fiddled with these settings and restarted Photoshop countless times. In the end it's the same exact result: Photoshop slows down after a few minutes of work and I have to restart it. I have about 50GB free on the SSD, 150GB free on the 750GB, and about 140GB free on the 160GB.
I don't understand why it gets so slow even when my RAM usage only makes it up to about 45%. Why doesn't it just utilize ALL of the memory like I told it to?
I've tried setting cache to 1, 2, and 4, same result. Cache tile size to all the different settings, same result. History states to an extremely low level like 10, same result. I just don't understand why Photoshop is doing this, especially because it decides to speed up on its own every couple of months...

Why does my animation slow down in safari?

i've created an animation at 75 fps. when i open the .swf
file with safari the animation is slowed down. why is this?
also, Explorer can't even open the file. i suppose i need a
flash player for Explorer. I should probably also upgrade from 5.2,
huh? hahahaha

And yet I have built an entire career on animation with
flash. I will admit, being a toon boom user,
the difference is huge - TBS has a lot more desireable
features - but flash is flash - it is pretty
convenient that the entire world browsing the internet has
the flash player - and flash does have
one of the most intuitive timelines ever. TBS is still in the
dark ages with exposure sheet style
animation - it's traditional and that's fine, but serves very
little purpose in regards to
computer-based animation.
The general statement that flash is not an animation tool is
like saying that a ferrari is not for
driving.

Outlook 2010 - User tends to open many emails at a go but this may slow down the machine.

Hi,
My user tends to have this work habit of opening 8-10 emails at one go. She view this way of working as more efficient and faster. But this means that if outlook crashed, all the emails will be close as well, and this way of working tends to slow down the
machine.
Is there any way Outlook can users to open multiple emails without hording CPU page milage?
Thank you.

Hi Josh,
Slow Outlook can be also harmful for your database and there are numbers of factor which slow down the MS-Outlook like:
* Third Party Plug-ins
* Slow internet connection
* Antivirus/ Firewall Programs
* Corruption or Error within Outlook
So always try to open Microsoft Outlook in safe mode whenever you stuck in such problems.
How to optimize Outlook performance:
* By Disabling add-ins
* Check default account settings
* Disabling Scanning programs
* Scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool)
For more brief about Outlook disturbance and solutions:

Many Flash vector objects on a page slows down responsiveness to freezes (Windows 8 IE 10 Flash 11)

Hello, I use Windows 8 Pro x64 on my Core 2 Quad, Internet Explorer 10 (desktop mode) with Flash 11.7.700.169.
When I'm on site with Flash vector animations which use some input controls (i.e. I can manipulate objects in the Flash frame with my mouse) it seriously slows down IE (scrolling, text input) down to freezes. It doesn't matter whether mouse pointer is over the Flash or somewhere else on the page but the more Flash frames on the page - the greater speed drops. CPU consumption by iexplorer.exe process on that pages is constantly around 25-40%.
Disabling Flash avoids the issue.
I did a clean install twice so it doesn't look like a specific installation issue. In Modern IE this is less noticeable but still persist.
Moreover, on the same machine I previously had Windows 7 Professional x64 with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash ActiveX 11.7.700.202 and did not experience that kind of problems.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox with the Flash plugin of the latest version and they were fine - no noticeable lags or freezes.
I did some more research and replaced ActiveX Flash files (Flash.ocx, FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll, FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe) both 32 and 64 bit with that from Windows 7 and then vector flash objects on the page did not show up but streamed objects worked well. I replaced Flash.ocx with Windows 8 version and vector ads showed up but lags came back as well.
Finally I replaced all files of version 11.7.700.202 with files of version 11.5.502.146 and suddenly they worked very well - no lags or freezes, smooth scrolling etc.
So the question now is how to deal with further Flash updates for Windows 8? Is there any way to find out what is the cause of lags and freezes in version 11.7.700.202 for IE on my Windows 8 machine?
My current config:
Core 2 Quad 9550 @ 2.83
GeForce GTX 580
8Gb RAM
256Gb SSD
Windows 8 Pro x64 + NVidia driver 320.18 + Flash 11.7.700.202
I.e. the page that causes huge slowdowns - www.stopgame.ru

<sigh> Try asking your question on a forum for the Flash Player - this one is for Director's Shockwave Player

Why does Firefox performance slow down after starting Jack server?

Hello,
I started configuring my audio on my system. So, I want to have jack working (not jack2, to work with wineasio) with best sound quality with all sound routed through jack. When i start jack server with this command and settings:
killall jackd;killall pulseaudio;jackd -R -t 1000 -d alsa -P hw:0,0 -r 48000 -n2 -D
Firefox slows down, opens new pages slow and the scroll down is very very slow. I had this issue with other distros too. I suspect that it has to do with realtime ( which i need for my audio related apps like traktor through wine, ardour, ableton through wine etc) without being sure about it. Any idea why this is happening?

zabrielza wrote:I had this issue with other distros too.
This smells like hardware problem. Do this:
1. Kill pulseaudio, jack, and make sure they are killed
2. Make sure you do not renice anything or apply other such tweaks
3. Run jackd -d alsa
4. Use your system
5. If unsatisfactory, try jackd -d alsa -p 1024 -n 3
6. Use your system
Jack runs with realtime priority by default (no flag required), and we still use the audio group to provide that privilege. I also do not advocate the realtime kernel, but you may try it. Jack not functioning well (i.e. hampering other tasks significantly) on a standard kernel is cause for concern.
You can read/grep your dmesg and systemd journal for suspicious messages. You may try running real-time audio tasks in another operating system with your hardware, and upon success may proceed to debug the problem on Linux, possibly with the help of the alsa developers.
Or better yet, grab a supported semi-pro external audio device if jack is important for you. However, this may not help if the problem is somewhere deeper, e.g. at the hardware interrupt level.

Why does my footage Slow down and loose audio when imported to after effects cs6?

Whenever I import video of any kind into after effects, it slows down and looses audio. It happens for every video. The weird thing is, it seems like it doesnt happen to anyone else on the internet. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I am about to cry. I cant do anything with this stupid software! If there is a solution please tell me. Its really annoying.
extra info-
On Mac
mov. Files
H.264 codec

Slows down when? When you preview? Do you know how to preview?
If you are pressing the space bar to preview the video then the behavior you are seeing is normal. AE will not playback in real time with autio unless you do a ram preview (look it up). You must learn to use the software.
Start with the three videos on this page: Basic Workflow

Open ports slow down my internet connection. How to close them? What to do?

My MacBook Pro has massive problems with internet connectivity. At times the connection is blazingly fast, at times unbelievably slow.
I've spoken to my internet provider who was able to inform me that my computer opens up 500-700 ports which is probably what's slowing down the network connectivity. When I'm online with the MacBook Pro, the web gets unstable – also for other connected devices like iPad etc.
The web supporter asked me to run an anti-virus scan which I did – with no results. The problem persists. When my MacBook Pro is not online, there are approximately 15 ports open, when I log on the web that number increases to between 500 and 700.
Is this normal?
Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue?
How do I figure out which application opens these ports? (and how to close them?)
I tried logging into another user account on the computer and the problem seemed to disappear, indicating that it is caused by something run only on my user account.
Hope someone can help me..

Open ports don't slow down your computer. The tech support person you spoke to doesn't know what they are talking about.
Basically, when you are using a web browser, opening a page means that the browser needs to open a connection for each element in the page (e.g., it needs to grab each picture, CSS, and JavaScript file that the page requires). This could be a couple of dozen, or it could be hundreds (and there's no telling what Flash content on the page will do). The browser tries to mitigate things a bit using a cache (you might check to make sure the cache is turned on, but this is the default setting). However, this is how all browsers work and how the whole system is designed to operate. You cannot "close" any ports, and they don't linger open, they remain open only as long as data is being transferred. This is expected and appropriate behavior.
The most likely culprit is that you are receiving poor DNS service from your service provider. Every time the computer sees an address like 'http://www.google.com', it needs to send out a request to figure out what numerical address goes with the human-readable name. If the DNS service your system is assigned to use doesn't respond lightning-quick, your experience is going to be very sluggish.
You might want to add an external DNS service to your list of DNS providers. Go to System Preferences > Network, select the network you are using on the left (Ethernet or AirPort), and click the 'Advanced' button. Click on the 'DNS' tab, then press the '+' button under the left panel. I would add the OpenDNS.com DNS servers. Add the following DNS addresses:
{quote}
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
{quote}
Click the 'OK' button. And then the 'Apply' button to save the changes.
That will probably fix the problem. If it doesn't the next most likely issue is either network congestion (e.g., your ISP's network is just too busy; a very common thing for small ISPs and cable Internet service), or the remote site that you are trying to contact is simply not performing so well.

Mail Slows Down my Internet Speed

After the recent November 10.6.5 update, the Mail app brings my internet connection to a crawl. I used to have a solid 12Mbps connection and <25ms ping times but while Mail runs, is kills the speed to less than 2Mbps and over 200ms ping times.
I have Mail configured as IMAP to my GMail account. Everything worked fine up until I did the OS X update. I even deleted my account from Mail preferences and re-entered the account information...no change.
Any help?

I had this exact same problem. It suddenly started when I reset my router to the original settings. Every thing suddenly was slow, then I finally figured out it was Mac Mail, searched Google for an answer, found this thread, then went in to my router page, since no one could figure out the cause. ***BINGO***
I fixed it by going to the Firewall settings.
IP Flood Detection [square box here] Enable
I un-checked the square box and slow speed be gone!!!!!! This was in the Ubee router at
http://192.168.100.1/RgContentFilter.asp
but for other routers, it might also have a Firewall setting like this some where. Hunt through your settings at
http://192.168.100.1/
It looks like my Linksys router thinks that there is an attack going on and slows down my connection.
is what gave me the idea to go hunting through the router, a uBee router. Thanks.
