MacBook Pro:: Slow And Freezing Safari Browser? Aug 24, 2014 My safari browser is slow (MacBook Pro 10.6.8). I often have to shut down my computer because it freezes with the spinning color wheel. Sometimes the browser will not be slow when I switch to the chrome browser, but sometimes it is. I may have a logic board problem so I am wondering if that could have anything to do with my slow browser. Chrome is, for many people, the first thing installed on a new Macbook. It makes sense: in its early days Chrome gained a reputation for being lightweight. Mac users can easily name Safari as the default browser for their machines. Not only does Safari work with MacBooks and iMacs, but it's also the default browser. When I click on Software Update, it shows no software updates (for safari). What could be causing this? Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8) Similar Messages: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ADVERTISEMENT Apr 21, 2012 My Safari browser keeps freezing up, and does nothing but show the OSX Lollipop. I can temporary fix this by copieing the CONTENT folder from another MAC to mine and restarting, but everytime there is an update to Safari, Java, Flash etc. The same thing happens again.I am running Lion 10.7.3 on an Intel Mac and everything is updated. Safari is 5.1.5 Info: MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7) Dec 2, 2014 I have the 2013 15 inch retina Macbook Pro and I have been having a problem with it lately. Whenever I use safari, my browser is freezing constantly. Its is only when I use safari, not any other applications, such as Microsoft word. Normally, I wouldn't consider this a big issue, but it gets worse. When I don't navigate on my computer and let it rest for a minute or so (while running safari and sometimes other applications) this screen pops up: I have not dropped my computer, nor done anything to cause any damage to it. Info: MacBook Pro with Retina display, Running OS X 10.1 Jun 26, 2009 I'm on my first mac, bought last week. I'm using the new Safari 4 browser and its slow. Anyone else notice this? ![]() ![]() I'm an old firefox user but dont want to go back because I like the mouse pad gestures in safari. Feb 6, 2012 After the last software update, Safari has been acting strange. It slowed down enormously (I keep on getting the colored beach ball) and it freezes many times for lots of seconds. Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.2) Oct 27, 2010 My macbook is suddenly VERY slow. It can take 10 minutes to open finder or anything else for that matter. I have over 300 GB of space on my internal hard drive so it's be a space issues. The problem started during an import of music from my external hard drive into iTunes. I ended up having to force shut down because it wouldn't respond to anything else. Why is my computer so slow now!?! Jun 19, 2012 I have had my Mac Book Pro for a few years and it freezes all the time. I have to force quit out of my internet at least three times a day if not more, I took it into apple last year and they gave me a new hardrive. I have gone back in twice becuase it continues to freeze and they say nothing is wrong wiht it. Info: MacBook Pro Feb 17, 2010 for no foreseeable reason my white macbook has suddenly slowed in speed when browsing pages, they load justa s fast it just takes ages form typing a URL to start loading, my other desktop is fine and the line is 100MB download steady so its not web speed. May 13, 2012 everything has been fine other than Activity monitor opening but just hanging, spinning pinwheel. There doesnt seem to be a file in library/preferences 'com.apple.activitymonitor.plist' which I read could be the culprit. The main problem is that browsing and DL's have slowed to a crawl under 1mps down according to speedtest,where my phone using the same wifi access point is getting at least 5. This is for Firefox as well as Safari.
