I’m going to tell you why your Mac is running so slowly, clear up the confusion about viruses and Apple, and get you on the road to making your MacBook or iMac run like new. I was inspired to write this post after reading Beth H.’s question on Ask Payette Forward about why her Mac was running so slowly. Test all your Macs: If you have more than one Mac, test the Internet speed on all of them. If the slowdown occurs on only one machine, the problem most likely originates with that Mac. Router issues can cause speed issues — if your internet is just as slow when your smartphone or another device is connected to wi-fi, chances are, the issue isn’t inside your Mac. Try restarting your router by turning it off, waiting a few seconds and turning it back again. There are many reasons why your Mac could be operating at frustratingly slow speeds, from multiple open apps or an outdated OS to a lack of RAM. Read our guide to help you diagnose the common reasons that cause a Mac to run slow and lose speed. Chrome download mac os x 10.4.11. Mac pro efi firmware update 1.2 download.

Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 (An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 / ) Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is: This is Apple's guidance on iPv6: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html Click on Apply Now and close the window. Restart Safari, and repair permissions. If that didn't do it, then try this as well: Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files: form values download.plist Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.Safari.plist Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
