Flash is lagging on safari, even when all the latest updates are installed.It is happening on Youtube, and any other flash run website. Running the same homepages on firefox or google chrome there are no problems. Im considering to switch if this problem won't dissapear. Does anyone know solution to this? Or have the same problem?

Not sure why, but during the last couple of days flash games have been lagging on my 13" MBP to the extreme. My MBP has 4GB of RAM and was built in late 2009. It has only been doing this for the last couple of days. Before that flash games were fine, no lag at all. But recently they lag even when I've just started playing. Right from square one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI dont know what type of media it is playing from Safari and I'm guessing its .MOV but after certain videos are played on the mac pro under safari and even closing the safari tab with the video and trying to view movie clips from say [URL], all of a sudden the video lags and skips frames and just slow. Only when I quit safari all together and reopen safari and watch the same videos in [URL] will it be fast again... Is there some type of codec glitch or bug that causes this with .mov files??
View 5 Replies View RelatedSince installing Safari 5, I encounter the spinning beach ball when I try to scroll down a webpage or scroll between tabs. It appears that I cannot scroll/switch until the webpage is fully loaded.
This is extremely annoying because when my gestures are finally registered, Safari goes wacko trying to catch up with the previous gestures/commands. For example, if I use a swipe gesture to navigate between tabs, when Safari becomes responsive again, it will register all previous swipes and rotate between tabs until it 'catches up'. I hope that makes sense.
When I use Firefox, there is a slight lag, but I'm still able to scroll with only slight choppiness. By contrast, Safari 5 literally freezes for about 5 seconds. As a benchmark, I tried using both browsers while loading [URL]. Firefox worked fine, Safari 5 was crippled.
Just recently I've noticed this more than before... If I open a new tab, almost every time I'll get a spinning pinwheel for about 5-10 seconds, then it'll start responding again. Sometimes it'll do it for other things too, but for the most part its opening new tabs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've searched google for a solution to this and I came across some and followed the instructions (reset safari, clear cache, run onyx, repair permissions). It works... for about two hours, then safari is back to lagging like crazy. I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and all the latest software updates.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to read news sites and my eye is distracted by things bouncing around in adverts. It's even worse when they're playing obnoxious sounds until you click the mute button in them.Therefore I just thought I'd let people know about this wonderful piece of software. I've seen it mentioned a few times here but even if this thread only helps a few people I think it'll be worth it:[URL]Not only does it hide these horrific insults to humanity (ok a bit strong perhaps), it actually prevents them loading, therefore your pages load quicker! And it's completely unobtrusive! If you want to watch flash file, simply click on in.

I have a 2008 mac pro 8core 2.8 ghz 4 gigs of ram. Sometimes when I scroll in safari (including on this website) it lags visibly. Why is it lagging? Also sometimes it comes to a crawl when I have to select a file to upload to the internet.
View 6 Replies View RelatedAll i have ilife 09, i am trying to use iDVD but the thing is so laggy on my mac. All the updates have been done for the software - i don't have any other apps open whilst this is running with the exception of itunes. Every time i go to click on something it wants to sit there with the spinning wheel for 5 seconds before it does anything. The system was erased yesterday due to other problems that were unrelated to this. I have confirmed my Hard disk is OK same with ram. Disk permissions have been verified as OK. Anyone else experiencing this problem? i don't know if this is a 09 problem i never used idvd 08
View 7 Replies View RelatedSafari does not have sound when using the flash extension. Same sites work well on Firefox. Any ideas of fixes?
I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. I tried youtube5 extension (improved streaming, but still not sound). Searched for answers, but most seem to predate current Safari/Flash combination.
I have OS 10.7.4, safari 5.1.7 and flash player plug-in 11.3.300.257.
I am not sure when this problem crept in, but it safari worked well in before in OS 10.7.4 , but have upgraded Safari since, and it is possible that Flash auto-upgraded (I disabled this, but had not realized that that was a default setting - ugh).

I just got my 13 inch MBP a few hours ago. It's lovely and brand new... but the internet is lagging. It's not my connection - no problems with the other computers in the house.Basically, about one in five links takes 30 seconds to a minute to load. And hulu plays for 30 seconds, then buffers (rinse and repeat). It took an hour and a half to watch a 30 minute show. I've tried firefox, safari, and chrome - it does the same thing in all the browsers.Suggestions? I've obviously restarted and tweaked whatever I can think of.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've only been using my new aluminium macbook for over 1 month, and it is starting to lag. I noticed that i was running 1 powerpoint document, 2 word doc, adium, firefox and vlc player which was not running, but it was lagging so much that i couldn't scroll my word doc. The rainbow circle kept appearing. I felt the body and it was quite hot. Could it be due to overheating? Does a keyboard protector contribute to the overheating of the macbook?

I am planning to replace it with a better one.

I have a iTunes library in my external firewire 800 hard drive that I have been using on my 2010 Macbook Pro. The songs have never had any issues with lag. However today, the iTunes is playing but the songs lag, and stop sound altogether...yet the play button is on. It jerks back and forth with the sound, so basically I can't play my songs any more. I checked the monitor activity, and everytime the sound swithces off when songs are playing, the read activity spikes up and sometimes the write activity peaks too. Just now, I stopped the music, yet based on the ACtivity monitor the real memory ram on iTunes is a crazy 1 gigabyte, with CPU at 98% activity. I had previously zapped pram on restart thinking its a ram issue but its still having the persistant play/no sound lags. It comes back on after 20 seconds and then stops sound again. I have max upgrade to 8GB of ram on my macbook pro. I usually have iTunes, Firefox, Photoshop and illustrator opened and I still have sufficient ram. Now checking, with just itunes and firefox opened and no songs are playing, I only have 500mb ram left. I can't open Photoshop and Indesign now. Why is my system using so much ram for only 2 apps on which don't usually take up this much of my ram?
Activity Monitor now
800MB ram itunes
400MB ram Firefox

I gave the video content on the iTMS a shot tonight.
I bought the Lewis Black stand up show. Lewis is hysterical of course, and while the resolution is less than most pirated media I have seen, it was good enough for me for two dollars.
However, I have noticed that at times it just sorta lags/skips. It's like I ma streaming it on the web and it has to rebuffer or whatever.
I did a search and found nothing
I purchased my first Mac back in september and I must say that I have absolutely loved it. However lately it seem like the dashboard application is really lagging. I hardly ever used dashboard, I am just concerned that this is a sign of worse things to come. Should it be doing this already or should I be concerned? It is a Alu Macbook 2.0.

This started happening before today's update to 10.4.11. I was running Safari 2.0.4 and am still having the same problem with 3.0.4. No flash will work in Safari, it was working fine and then just stopped for no apparent reason. Flash based websites won't load, YouTube video won't load, basically nothing that involves flash will work in Safari. Firefox works perfectly fine. I've tried uninstalling flash with Adobe's uninstaller and reinstalling it and then repairing permissions. I've tried deleting the plugins myself and reinstalling, that didn't work either. I have no idea what's going on, things worked fine and all of the sudden it won't work at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo, I've been using Safari 4 all day, and realized that while watching youtube videos and other videos on the internet, the fan speed didn't increase a lot like before. Were the flash problems with Safari resolved in this version ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently updated Flash, and it's no longer working properly. On many sites it works just fine (YouTube, for instance). On some sites, however, it loads but doesn't work, if that makes sense. For instance, on [URL] where Flash is used, it shows a loading symbol stuck at 51%. When I right click and select settings, the settings panel for Flash pops up but everything is grayed out and it won't even close when 'close' is clicked.

A bunch of different sites are requiring the latest Flash Player. I download, it installs tells me to reopen browser, still the same notice sayig I need Falsh installed to see the site. I dunno. I have never had this happen before.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFlash on Safari 4 was very quick, but after my update to Safari 5, all flash games slowed down. A flash game which I play very often is 'Restaurant City' on Facebook. Try it out and tell me what you experience using safari 5. I have no problems if I used Mozilla on my mbp, but once I use Safari, I need 5 seconds to press a single button in the game.
