Q: I keep getting this error message and the spinning wheel on all websites, any fix? (Webpages are not responding, so loading cannot be stopped. Do you want to force reload this page and all pages in other tabs and windows?)

    Hi, this has worked for a few...

     

    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

     

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712

     

    10.7…

     

    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

     

     

    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...

     

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

     

    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

     

    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

     

    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

    Hello BDAqua, same frustration with me. I found your recommendation; tried it; sped up my brower window loading significantly. Carolyn Samit suggested the same solution. It good to find the same recco from two different people and have it work so well. Many thanks to both of you.
