Is anyone else on a Mac having problems tonight getting certain sites to open? I installed a new security update this week and tonight I am having trouble getting several sites top open properly.

Can you give one example? Are you using Safari or Firefox?

The most trouble is coming from Safari. Ironically, it's mostly news sites that are stalling and failing to open with ease. Sites like Drudge, The Daily Journal, Scout Ole Miss Sports, Fox News, etc... Could it be a certain type of script in these sites that's causing the problem?

Firefox is not working much better either. :(

I have restarted my computer and emptied my cache to no avail.

Thanks,

I suspect it is more your internet connection... I just clicked on Drudge and it opened in less than 2 seconds.

I ran a test and the download speed stated 1.5 meg download time. Could the internet problem be in another area?

It seems to be sites with a lot of imbedded video and such that are failing to open.

PG is probably correct. The sites / video areas you are hitting are probably in high demand and thus it appears stalling to you. The load could be huge on those networks.

Especially since you are experiencing this on both Firefox and Safari.

Try it again this morning.

hahaha - you've gotten so used to having a trouble free computer that a few blank web pages are starting to upset you? :lol:

I'm running the latest releases on my MacBook Pro and not experiencing your issues. That's not saying they don't exist. It might be a specific MacBook issue. Search the Apple Discussion Groups to see.

Again it could be your DSL. On my Wildblue Satellite these will occur when my satellite drops the connection.

I have also done updates recently on my MacBook Pro, but have NOT had any problems with pages loading. Sorry, I can't help you.

btw.. something else I thought of... be sure that your Airport is locked onto the base station when waking from sleep. This can cause a delay of showing a webpage, if not locked on automatically.
