Issue with safari and MBP running slowly

[Deeg]

Hoping the various Mac gurus can help.

Issue 1 - Certain pages are not opening properly. For example my Tesco Credit Card account won't open once I've put in all the security information, it just displays a blah page, but as if it has loaded - Make sense?. Likewise maps on a few pages won't load. Just a blank space where the map should be.

Issue 2 - MBP running slowly, noticeably over the last few weeks for some reason. It's running OSX 10.9, so the latest, I believe?

I appreciate that is fairly vague, but any help / diagnostics would be appreciated.

I've been having similar problems mate every since I updated my MBA 2 weeks ago. Mainly my safari keeps crashing or pages as you say not loading correctly.

I presume you have tried the obvious and restarted the laptop properly and deleted the safari data, temp files and cookies etc?

 

[Deeg]

Restated properly?

Cache has been cleared, temp files cleared, safari reset.

It's even more infuriating now the above has been done.

I never shut my mbp down, I just close the lid and hibernate it, then every 6 months or so I end up shutting it down and starting it up properly and it's always a little faster etc.

so just wondering if you've done this?

Alternatively, have you tried using chrome to see if you are seeing the same issues in a different browser?

Mail is f**ked on my MBA since the update and wake up from lid closed is 10x slower.
Update was s**t this time round

Ah, yes.

I do the same, but I had restarted it a number of times.

I'm out of ideas then sorry. Have you tried using the other browser yet?

I occasionally get problems with Safari loading webpages, but I usually just end up using Firefox briefly to complete whatever task it is I'm trying to do, rather than mess about clearing caches etc.

Tom recommended an app called Onyx for me and worked a treat.

this, plus repairing permissions from either the recovery partition or the OS install DVD should solve the problem. Or both.

 

[Deeg]

Cheers all.

I'll check that app out. I'll leave repairing permissions for the time being, as I don't know what that means.

Basically it's telling the OS to operate correctly.

There's two ways to do it and both are via disk utility, you can do it without using the recovery partition or OS disk. It's worth doing.

I'll look at trying the app, then going from there.
