Which browser are you using? What type of internet connection do you have? Either of these could be responsible. I'm still using a G4 running 10.4.11 and Safari 4.1.3 and stuff is not loading as fast as it used to due to the older browser. With more sites using HTML 5 older browsers seem to have a problem with them. HTML 5 was to address dynamic content, but it seems to affect static content in some cases in my experience. Loading in is one of those areas. I experience very long load in times for Facebook with my current setup. FYI, I am also using the slowest DSL available due to cost which also has an effect.

Could be your browser and/or Mac OS version. The G4s and even G5 Power PC Macs could only run operating systems up to 10.5.8. Minimum OS for running the latest versions of browsers, such as Safari and Firefox is 10.6. under the Intel chipset. Because the old browsers are slow, sites like Facebook and Google do not always support them.
OS 10.5.8 is more compatible than, let's say OS 10.4.9. Check your OS by going to About This Mac under the apple logo on the left side of the screen. It will tell you what your OS is. Your choices: Upgrade your OS to 10.5.8 or take a giant leap to an Intel Mac and run OS 10.6.8 or later. Eventually your old G4 will not be able to connect to anything because of the browser issues.

Update your Adobe flash player software to the latest version:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

If that doesn't fix it you might have some viruses and malware.

Start your PC and press F8 several times until the boot menu comes up. Then select "Safe Mode with Networking". Now get some or ALL of the FREE programs below.

Download, Install and Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5756
When Installing choose the non-pro version.

Download, Unzip, Install and Run TDSSKiller:
http://majorgeeks.com/Kaspersky_TDSSKiller_d6895.html

Download, Install and Run Super Anti-Spyware:
http://majorgeeks.com/SUPERAntiSpyware_d5116.html

If you have an outdated Anti-virus program then Download, Install and Run Avira Anti-Virus:
http://majorgeeks.com/Avira_AntiVir_Personal_-_FREE_Antivirus_d955.html
Make sure to select ALL of the "threat categories" when you install or configure Avira...

You should be in pretty good shape if you run and install all of these programs.

Hi I cant log into face book The system freezes on this lap top. I can log in on other pc's

If your laptop is older, it may be incompatible with the "new" version of facebook. Since facebook no longer gives the option of using an older version, you may have to either upgrade your laptop or use another computer to get onto facebook.
If it's not an older laptop, make sure you have the newest version of firefox or chrome installed. Both of those browsers should work.
If neither of these are the problem, you may just have to wait it out. I've had times when facebook would never fully load, but it fixed itself a few days later. Good luck!
