Cannot view webpage on Mac

I gave my mom the iBook I bought from my college at graduation. The only way she can view her work schedule is online, but on both her iBook and my MacBook we cannot get that page to show. The link doesn't even show up on the main pages. Everything else on the website works fine, it's just that missing link and page. The page ends with .asp, and we've tried IE, Firefox and Safari. I think there was something about needing ActiveX or something like that? Is there any way we can get it working on her computer so she doesn't have to keep getting it at my dad's office?

I found this on Microsoft's Mactopia website. Hope it is useful, but it doesn't look good. I did a little more searching, and apparently, ActiveX content is not supported on Mac OS X. So, you might try this in IE, and see if it allows you to view the rest of the page.
[QUOTE]Why am I receiving ActiveX errors when I try to view certain web pages?
Some web pages may have ActiveX controls that have been built for the Win32 platform and don't support Mac OS. If this happens and you are unable to view the page, you can turn off the viewing of ActiveX content. To do so, choose Preferences from the Edit menu, click Web Content under Web Browser, and then clear the Enable ActiveX checkbox. If this fixes your problem, the ActiveX control most likely did not support Mac OS.[/QUOTE]

  • HT1338 connection to internet ok but cannot view webpages in browser

    I have a MacBook that has always been able to connect to the internet and view webpages aok until this afternoon. Although it is connected to the Internet ok, it will not let me view any webpages in either Safari or Firefox. The page justs spins and spins and never loads. I've tried a few different websites and have also tried via both our wireless connection and hardline connection to no success. 
    I am able to connect to the internet and view webapges ok on a different computer on the same network so I believe this problem is limited to my MacBook.
    I've done some research and understand that maybe something called 'mDNSResponder' could be the problem? Something about problems resolving the hosts via DNS?  I've seen some suggestions on how to fix this but I am wary of just doing a bunch of stuff that someone posted online - especially when it involves commands with the word 'kill' in it. And I'm not understanding where I am supposed to type those commands anyway - in Terminal?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

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

    Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    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.
    Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6/10.7 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.  
    These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • I cannot view webpage in an iframe

    Hello, I have some embed code that was placed in an iframe and I cannot view that on Firefox 3.6.22 however many people I know can see it and they are using Firefox. I have tried starting the computer in safe mode and disabling all the Firefox add-ons as well as turning off any anti-virus software and still I cannot view the page in Firefox
    The URL is http://www.bizreel.com/sept21.html
    You should see a video displayed on this page.
    I also cannot view this in IE 8.07 if that helps to also identify what the problem could be. Once again many other people can view it in IE.
    Any help that anyone can lend would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It looks that the script requires an HTML5 compatible browser and only works in a browser that supports HTML5.<br />
    It doesn't work in Firefox 6 as well if I disable the HTML5 parser by setting html5.parser.enable to false.

  • Cannot view webpages from internet using windows server 2012.

    I can ping public websites, such as google.com etc
    Dns resolves name resolution correctly, returning correct ip address.
    My issue is that no webdata(html) is returned when requesting a webpage from a public website
    I have reduced my internet explorer security settings to the lowest possible just for testing.
    I can view local websites on my server correctly.
    I am also currently trying activate my windows server 2012 and cannot do this as a result of this issue.
    No windows update are taking place either.
    I am using a d-link adsl router(DSL-2750U) via the lan to access the internet.
    My server is a Dell PowerEdge T20
    My laptop can connect to the internet and has no issues using the same network.
    I have tried using fixed and dynamic IPs
    I am trying to connect to the internet for the 1st time from the server.

    Hi,
    Or please disable all your firewall and AV soft, as far as in know, some AV soft can block some “unsafe” website URL, or disable the IE ESC.

  • Cannot view webpage on iOS4.3

    when i am using iOS4.2.1, I can login only one time when I visit the web that need user login. But iOS4.3, need to login each page load(the web that I visit will reload each 5s to update the page content, so I need to login every 5s). Is it a bug?

  • Friends with PCs cannot view iMovie on my Mac webpage

    After announcing my iMovie posted on my webpage to my family, they cannot view. Most have PCs and say they cannot download Quicktime 7.0 with iTunes. What can I do to enable them to view?
    Should I remake my iMovie with earlier Apple software in a way that they can view?

    Ronbea,
    I do this all the time at work, using iMovie to post
    2 minute demo reels of various artists on a server so
    people with PCs can watch the movies. Here is what I
    do (a variation of what Karsten suggested):
    When in iMovie, and you have your movie project saved
    in the lower time-line, go to File>Share. A new
    window will open. In the "Compress movie for:"
    selection, choose "Expert" settings. Click the blue
    "Share" button. Another window will open called "Save
    exported movie as". Click on the "Options" button.
    Another window will open. Click on "Settings". This
    is where you can choose the correct setting so PC
    users can see your movie. In the top pull-down
    selector, choose "Sorenson 3". When in this same
    window, you may want to change the "Compressor
    Quality" to Medium or Low, as this will save a ton of
    space. Click OK, and this will bring you to the
    previous window. Now, click on "Size" and choose
    "Custom Size" and type in Width: 320, Height: 240.
    Click "OK". Click "OK" again, then you will be back
    to the window that enables you to "Save" your movie
    and name it what you want (keep the .mov extension as
    this is what Quicktime movies need), and to save it
    where you want. Try this. Once you do this once, it
    will be easy the next time. When you get familiar
    with these choices, there are others within the
    windows that allow you to change settings for
    "Streaming Video" and for a variety of broadband
    settings. But start by simply choosing what I
    suggest here. I have never had a problem with a PC
    not being able to see these movies. Worst case, your
    "PC friends" can download a version of QT without
    iTunes (something like QT6) that will allow them to
    view anything up to the latest QT7 formats. The H264
    is a version of MPEG4 from QT7 and is great, but you
    must have the latest version of QT to view these
    movies.
    Hi Daniel, and Karsten,
    Thanks for quick reply and thoughts,
    I tried what Daniel suggested but and couldnèt find the Compress Movie for: window after clicking on File Share. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I am using iMovie HD.
    When I click on File Share, the window shows options menu for me to go to email, webpage, videocamera, iDVD, QT, Bluetooth.

  • Why can't I view my webpage on Mac OS X 10.3 or 4

    I have a webpage that loads fine on a windows machine, but I cannot view it on a Mac. Is there something in the html that stops it from viewing?

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Your page code is missing the closing </style> tag (near the very top of the code and just before the closing </head> tag).
    Add it in using any plain text editor and save the file and upload again.
    Claris? Wasn't that like "Moof"?

    I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

    I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
    Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
    Good luck.

  • I cannot view pdfs in Firefox 4 on a mac (10.6.7), is there a solution?

    Recently upgraded to Firefox 4, sadly I can no longer view pdfs from within the browser, running on a mac OS 10.6.7
    PDF browser does not work, neither does Acrobat
    Any help appreciated
    All the best
    Derek Jamieson

    I have the same problem. I love Firefox but I can't believe Mozilla released FF4 without a plug-in for viewing PDFs on Mac OS X. Between that and the fact that Lotus Notes web client doesn't like FF4, I had to downgrade to FF 3.6.16.

  • Cannot view SWF ebook in full pages

    After I export my ebook to a swf file and then view the html file of it, I can only see one page at a time. Originally I had two pages side by side and able to use page turns and everything worked. I had a few changes to be made and now after the changes I cannot view it in a 2page spread. I checked the document setup, thinking it had to do with facing pages, but that wasn't the issue. Any other thoughts why this is happening?
    I also tried creating a new ebook and the same thing happened... Is there a setting I have that needs to be changed?
    Thanks in advanced!
    ( i am using indesign 5.5 on a mac)
    here are my exporting and document settings: (let me know if you need any other info)

    Probably your swf file does not link to the xml file in the repository.  To check the link to the xml file - look at the properties on the xml file.  Try putting the access link for the xml file in your swf.

  • Cannot view Apple TV in iTunes, why not?

    Hi, All, just updated to a new Apple TV , looks great, however, I cannot view the box as I could with the previous box in iTunes.  I have Wireless hookup.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    The current Apple TV does not show up in iTunes as there is no sync capabilities. You send content from your Mac using home sharing (computer must be on and running iTunes)
    You can also stream directly from an IOS device using airplay.

  • LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode.  Can view photos on Develop setting.

    On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting.  On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable).  This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports. 

    Sounds like a corrupted preview cache.  Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive.  Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file.  Then open LR and see if the previews reappear.  If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight.  If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.
