LoudPursuit Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Macs will run slow in the beginning when first accessing websites. Reason is they keep a cache of all websites you visit which then speeds up load time when you revisit the sites.

bujwah Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) i have the same mac im a big mac nerd so if u got any questions i can help you and there could be many reasons why ur mac is running slow.most common. you have a lot of applications running at ones/ make sure your firmware is up to date have ur settings to "check for updates" every day preference/If you are finding your browser slow try clearing the cache and deleting your history...but the key is if its brand new you need to shut down you computer not manually nor a restart..let your battery die to were it shuts down.so your RAM would be cleared and refreshed..Run Activity Monitor on your computer to see the status as well..but i really think its just your internet connection lol.

I really, really hope this isn't how you troubleshoot computer issues. How the hell would you update a laptop's firmware? I...I just don't know what to say. How's the Mac running slow? Booting up slower than a previous Mac? Applications loading slower than normal? Webpages taking forever to load? Could be anything from a defective hard drive to a dying wireless router. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoping its a internet issue...we get free internet for our apartment. I had issues with it with my other computer too, and i can barely get a full game of COD in without getting kicked out. Mainly while on im on the web it likes to freeze up periodically (like its loading) then i can continue on what im doing. It gets really fkin frustrating especially while im trying to watch a movie or vid online.
