Re: Slow URL loading
Thanks once again Ronni, I have followed all your tips, and tips from others and those gleaned from different sites that reference Safari problems. Problem still exists so will have to be content for now sitting and waiting the several minutes for the initial link to open; once that occurs, others open normally until such time as I re-start Safari (Firefox 11 is slightly better but still slower than acceptable). I am not game at the moment Ronni, to attempt a Lion Recovery. Having looked at the recovery site it appears I would have to reset and re-install far too much for me to attempt.

Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari. Also, since you are running v10.7.3 Lion, you can't reinstall Safari by just redownloading the app from Apple, you have to use Lion Recovery. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 First, try disabling the Lion resume feature which apparently caches pages way too fast.

Re: Slow URL loading
Hi John, Just to get a clear picture in my mind, you first did a clean install of Lion. Is that correct? Did you test Safari at that point? On a clean install there could be no possible software configuration problem. If there was a problem at that point it could only have been hardware related or have had to do with your router configuration. Once you start adding your data and applications, or adding plug-ins to and preference settings to Safari, there is a chance that the software configuration could be off in some fashion. You could use extreme measures and delete all Safari configuration files and the app itself and reinstall OS X Lion over the top of your current installation. This would not harm your existing applications but would reset Safari back to its original state. After the reinstall you would then need to repair permissions and download all updates again. (Back up your data before doing this of course.) If you are not inclined to take the above radical action, there are hours of enjoyment to be had toying with the configuration of Safari.

I should have added, it is probably not a good idea to regress to older version of Safari. As one of Apples banner products, there are many security an performance fixes in each release, so we are best off installing updates as soon as they are available.

Is your Mac mini connected by Wifi to your router or is it an ethernet cable? Also how is your Macbook connected to the router? Both the Mac Mini and the Macbook are connected by wireless to the Router. I have tried to connect the mini be ethernet direct to the modem and that has not made a difference. Will preserver for now and use the Macbook when I think the mini is too slow. John Cheers, Carlo On 30/03/2012, at 8:50 , John Thompson wrote: Thanks for the response Carlo.

Re: Slow URL loading
Ah yes, a Mac mini of course. When I glanced at the email trail I saw Ronni's specs by mistake and not yours. In any case if there is no problem with Snow Leopard then your internet connection is likely not the problem. Have you had OS X Lion installed for long? There are a number of processes, Spotlight indexing in particular, that run for a some hours after the install. These can slow down the response of the whole system. Is your Mac mini connected by Wifi to your router or is it an ethernet cable? Also how is your Macbook connected to the router?

Re: Slow URL loading
Hi John, Did you ‘Empty the Cache’ as I mentioned in my previous email? Empty Cache and Reset Safari are under Safari (in Menu bar). If Safari is still slow in Lion: Close Safari, then if you don’t have your ~Library showing: Open Terminal. Type or copy and paste chflags nohidden ~/Library/ You will then be able to see ~/Library in the Finder. Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/. Delete the Cache.db file. Restart Safari and you should be all set. Cheers, Ronni On 30/03/2012, at 8:50 AM, John Thompson wrote: Thanks for the response Carlo.

Re: Slow URL loading
Ok. Let us know how things turn out. I would double check the Wifi strength. Failing that it could be a router setup problem when more than one Wifi client is attached.

When I glanced at the email trail I saw Ronni's specs by mistake and not yours. In any case if there is no problem with Snow Leopard then your internet connection is likely not the problem. Have you had OS X Lion installed for long? There are a number of processes, Spotlight indexing in particular, that run for a some hours after the install. These can slow down the response of the whole system. Yes, I have had Lion for quite some time so the spotlight indexing would not be a problem at this stage. Is your Mac mini connected by Wifi to your router or is it an ethernet cable? Also how is your Macbook connected to the router? Both the Mac Mini and the Macbook are connected by wireless to the Router. I have tried to connect the mini be ethernet direct to the modem and that has not made a difference. Will preserver for now and use the Macbook when I think the mini is too slow. John Cheers, Carlo On 30/03/2012, at 8:50 , John Thompson wrote: Thanks for the response Carlo.

So it was not clear to me why two different browser would have a problem at the same time. If it is a problem with Lion that slows down internet connections you would be the first one to find such. So I guess I have a couple of questions that may help identify the source (or not). Are, in fact, both Safari and Firefox slow on your Lion installation? Yes. But Safari is slightly slower that Firefox Are either slow on a Snow Leopard installation if you still have one? I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook and both browsers work fine Try connecting you MacBook Pro up to someone else's internet / router and see if the problem persists. That could be difficult as I don't have access to another router and my main computer is a MacMini, not a Macbook Pro.

Tried with my Macbook running SL and all worked just fine. Can't help think it is something to do with Lion. Have had no end of little problems since installing same.
