IMac (Intel) :: Reload Webpages 20-30 Times Before Page Loads Fully
Sep 1, 2014
I have a 20inch early 2009 iMac running OS X 10.9.4.
I have been having crippling WiFi problems were I am forced to reload webpages 20-30 times before the page loads fully. I have tried many things and even upgraded the RAM to 8gb, and I still have the same problem. I have also tried resseting the WiFi, router, and iMac and it seems my problem is more complicated than that. I have run a test too and I had no lost packets. The strange thing is after a webpage not loading, if I refresh the page 20-30 times it finally loads!
I have a MacBook Pro with bootcamp and Windows 7 as well as OS X (unsure of version number at this moment, but think its 10.5). On the Windows 7 side, webpages load quickly in both Firefox 3.6.10 and Internet Explorer 8.0 and I rarely have trouble. On the MAC side, webpages are often unbearably slow to load and often do not load at all or time out or stop halfway through loading. This is both occurring in Firefox (latest version) and Safari (latest version).
When using Chrome 17.0.963.83, on Mac OSX 10.7.3, on my Mac Book Pro, Chrome will sometimes load very RANDOM pages. It may occur when I click on a link, ANY link, or it may occur when I'm doing nothing on a page.
A few examples:
When I'm scrolling up and down on any website - Could be a news website, could be Facebook, suddenly Chrome will start loading a completely random page - It might be about a vacation deal, or a new software launch, anything.And yes, I'm not accidentally clicking on stuff... It just loads on it's own. Another example is when I'm not doing anything.
For example, I might be staring at a graph of Insights on Facebook, or looking at an image on the web, and my hands are off the keyboard.I would have been on the page for anything from 1minute to 5minutes, and there is no "loading circle, meaning the page has fully loaded. Then POOF the loading circle appears, and next thing I know I'm redirected somewhere. Often when this happens, I simply do a double finger swipe backwards, to go Back, and just ignore the problem. However it's getting quite annoying, and I can't help but think it may be some form of Malware?
Now the thing is - I went to do some reading, and even from the Clam anti-virus website, it says that there are currently NO viruses for Mac at all.So I don't understand - I only have two extensions on Chrome, one of which is the bit-ly extension, the other being Flash 10.I have since disabled the bit-ly extension, but the problem is still persisting.
For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it. Â
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari. Â
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.Â
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
I like the force reload all tabs/visit page,it allows me to keep all my windows and tabs open without consuming ram or processing,how do I manually activate this?
I'm developing a website and it's key to be able to force a reload of the page (so the browser does not use the cache) in order to see changes I do in my HTML/Javascript. What's the shortcut ? Cmd + ?
My mid 2010 macbook pro when started makes a series of beeping noises the load software bar appears and that happens a couple of times before I get a nomral boot
Ever since yesterday, every time I open a bookmark in Safari, or enter a URL and hit enter, the page will just remain blank...only after I hit reload, or re-click the bookmark the page will load. This isn't always the case but happens a lot. This also occurs on my dads MacBook Pro so maybe it is an issue with my Airport Extreme?
Ok, I had this problem for quite a while but lived with it, now it's becoming a real issue. Any time I click on a "download" (using Safari) button or the like, nothing happens. The page momentarily loads but that is all. This is on ALL websites that have any download links, except Rapidshare, which still seams to work for me. Any time I had to download something that wasn't on rapidshare I used my download manager (JDownloader) to download it, which doesn't encounter this problem. But a lot of sites aren't supported by JDownloader so I'm bummed
I've tried running hardware and system scans on my comp, with no results. My internet test shows nothing wrong, my internet speed is quite good actually (20 Mbs/sec download, 5 Mbs/sec upload). I've reseted Safari/airport extreme and router numerous times without effect. I would try a different internet browser but I can't download it
My Mac has this weird disease that it returns to the first screen by itself after I've opened a couple of windows no mather what software or program I use.
It has nothing to do with my keyboard or mouse, because this problem occurs even when I've pulled everything out of the USB socket.
For example, when I start a movie with VLC Media player it starts over after 3 seconds and it goed to the start of the movie.
Anybody who knows the solution, I just can't find anything about this issue.
Any commands or programs that will allow me to automatically refresh any webpage that I am currently viewing? Say for like my emails or forums or mypsace or something.
I opened an old document in word for mac and the pages are side by side. I cannot figure out how to go back to single page view. It seems like there should be a simple step.
I see how to convert 1 page from a pdf file to a jpeg using Preview. I have several pdf files with each consisting of @90 pages. Is there a way to convert all pages at once? I would like to set up a slide show with the pdf pages converted to jpeg photos. All comments are welcome.
Is there something about the hardware on this iMac that will not let SL run in full 64 bit glory? It loads 64 bit kernel, but did that in Leopard as well. SL loads the 64 bit kernel but not the rest of it... of course holding the 6 and 4 keys results in no joy. So now I suspect it is not just the CPU that must be a 64 bit ready chip but the rest of the hardware must be like wise optimized.
When in an opened safari page my mouse is freezing i can move it freely around page but can not click on any item. I can not even go to the quit option to get out of page???
I was watching a video on Hulu, and suddently I got a error that the website could not load. Since then, I can't load most pages (yet oddly I have found one page that still works.) Network diagnostics says that everything is working fine... and I can still connect to everything just fine with with my MacBook and iPhone on the same network. I have the same problem whether I am trying to use Safari or Google Chrome..
