Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

There is in fact no native ability in iOS to block specific web sites. All you can do is turn off Safari completely.
As the others have suggested, either those sites are not compatible with the browser in iOS (being based on Flash or Java, or using Microsoft-proprietary components that work only in Internet Explorer, for instance), or your Internet connection is blocking the sites.

  • Lost access to some websites

    I have lost access to some websites that I regularly visit. The process hangs after the // part of the address. After a while I get this prompt: "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.faylib.org/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message."
    I've reported this bug twice to Apple and have discussed it with the library that operates the website. It sometimes crops up when I'm in a website going to another page; it loses its place and looses the connection.
    I've tried access with the latest Safari, Firefox, and IE without luck. The problem seems to have begun after I installed Security Update 2006-004 on 8/2/06. I've tried turning off pop-ups, coming at the site from a search engine, and other angles. No luck. Any ideas?

    Since there appeared to be nothing wrong with my modem otherwise, I chose not to investigate replacing it. But I did solve the problem with substantial help from my local Apple dealer, MegaByte.
    They suggested several things, but the one that did the trick was firewall protection. I had been running Norton Personal Firewall which was updated on 7/8 to v. 3.1. When I stopped it and reverted back to the Apple firewall protection, my fave website popped back up.

  • HT1918 Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

    Hi, I have registered at apple site, and i have submitted the credit card information, they deducted some ammount without my permission, why they did that? how can i remove my credit card details from that site or deactivate my account?

    From that HT3702 page :
    If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
    You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
    The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

  • My iPad wont fully load up some websites

    Whenever I trying to get on some websites ( like naruget.com), it just shows a white screen when it loads. How can I fix this?

    Hello Wired223,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPad is unable to load up certain websites with Safari, please clear the history and stored website data from the iPad by following the directions below.
    Clear information from your device
    To clear your history and cookies from Safari in iOS 8, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Clear History and tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Need software to block access to certain websites at night

    OK. I'm going to admit it. I've got a shopping compulsion that's somewhat out of control when I get tired at night.
    Anyone have suggestions for software or another method to block access, ideally to just forms, or just certain websites, between certain times? I know if I'm the admin I'd be able to get around it, but it would help stop me from buying when I'm not awake enough to make good decisions.
    I'm thinking a children's filter would work, but none of them seem to go more specific than turning off the internet entirely between certain times, and that's a bit too broad. In any case, I'm pretty sure I could script just turning off the Airport link for a time if that's what I really wanted.
    Any suggestions for scripting the Airport config or other site lookup files (the ones that say ebay.com -> this address), perhaps? That would keep me from getting on with the iPhone too.
    Thanks, and
    Aym

    Maybe I just need to make my own scripts... I know if I'm the admin I'd be able to get around it, but it would help...
    You might try the script below. It works by looping through a predefined list of text items, comparing each item to the URL of the frontmost Safari document. When a match is found, the frontmost document is replaced by a blank page. A dialog then appears informing you that you've attempted to reach a prohibited web site.
    The script below should be copied and pasted into your AppleScript Script Editor. From the Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application. Be sure to check Stay Open under Options. Once saved, the script can be launched from the dock or desktop, or launched as part of a repeating iCal event, with iCal's alarm feature set to open the script file at a certain time each day. Once running, the script can be stopped at any time by selecting its docked icon and choosing Quit from the menu.
    +The script:+
    *property prohibited_list : {"ebay.com", "amazon.com", "shopping.yahoo.com"} --> add or remove items as desired*
    *on idle*
    *tell application "System Events"*
    *if exists application process "Safari" then*
    try
    *tell application "Safari"*
    *set x to URL of front document*
    *set y to every character of x as text*
    *repeat with an_item in prohibited_list*
    *if an_item is in y then*
    *set the URL of front document to ""*
    *tell application "System Events"*
    activate
    *display dialog "You have attempted to access a prohibited web site." with icon stop buttons ("OK") default button 1 giving up after 10*
    *end tell*
    *tell application "Safari" to activate*
    *end if*
    *end repeat*
    *end tell*
    *end try*
    *end if*
    *end tell*
    *return 5*
    *end idle*
    Good luck.
    +The script was tested in Mac OS 10.4.11. Leopard and Snow Leopard users' results may vary.+

  • Wrt54G v7 some websites without color/images, needs reset.

    Since i upgraded lastest firmware i need to reset router once in a while because some websites dont load good, or no websites at all are loading or loading very slow.
    example:
    http://imageupload.org/?d=C26AB5E61
    I want to go back to old firmware or a solution for this problem.. any ideas ?

    It seems like after the firmware upgrade you have not tried to reset and reconfigure the router as should have done....
    Still, that can be made to work, try to access the router set up page http://192.168.1.1 with username = blank and password = admin....Go to the option on the first screen that says MTU - select the option as manual and reduce the size from 1500 to 1400....

  • My macbook air keeps opening ad websites without my permission. I've removed all website data various times which hasn't worked. this is making it very difficult for me to browse. please help?

    I'm scared i have a virus. safari keeps opening windows/tabs without my permission. these are normally ads. i have removed website data various times which hasn't worked.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

    I have the new flash player, and for the most part the player will work on some web sites. However I like to be on myspace and it says that I have to install the new version of the flash player. However I ALREADY have the new verison. There are other site that I go to as well and it tells me the same thing. what is going on and how can I fix it. I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

    I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
    http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
    you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
    so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
    I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

  • Internet blocking access to certain websites and M...

    I had BT Infinity installed about 3 weeks ago and since then iMessage on my iPod has worked at random times, getting a 'Message Could Not Be Delivered' which was annoying, but as of today I can't use Windows Live Messenger on either my iPod or Laptop, the same goes for visiting hotmail.com and probably other websites that I'm yet to notice.
    I'm assuming it has to be something wrong with the hub otherwise I wouldn't get the same problem with both my Laptop and iPod. The only thing I found online was that it could be something to do with the Hub's MTU settings but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them and that doesn't seem like it would be the case anyway.
    Changed wireless channels, factory resetting the hub and everything I can think of.

    See http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Issues​-with-MSN-Live-Messenger-and-Hotmail-com-on-BT/m-p​...

  • Wifi router blocks access after some time.

    So i have router lynksys WRT120N  and the latest 1.0.0.7 firmware. And the problem occured frequently. I'll explain for example what happened yesterday. 
    At about 13.00 i went out, wifi was working okay. At around 18.00 i returned home and i was trying to connect to the wifi with my android phone, and suprisingly it did not work. I tried on my laptop and on a android tablet. It did not work. The only thing that i could figure it out is to reset the router. I checked the settings, and there was no access policy e.g. time based access blocking. 
    any ideas?
    cheers

    You're welcome.

  • IOS7 does not recognize my passwords on some websites when typed from my iPhone5

    Since updating to ios7 on my iPhone 5, numerous sites and some apps are unable to interpret my security information; like passwords, credit card security codes, etc.  It says I either entered it wrong or did not enter it at all, almost as if it just doesn't see the entry.

    '''''"... But I have my laptop next to me, signed in to sync ..."'''''
    Which version of Firefox?
    Firefox 29 brought a new version of Sync ''[a year ago]'', so if you are using an older version of Firefox on that laptop, see this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
    You'll need to update Firefox on that Laptop to continue using Sync on it after updating your Sync account.

  • How can i contact useless iTunes to get back previous purchases that they won 't give me back because somebody accessed my account and downloaded some product without my permission. I have sent severeal emails rung apple but nobody will return my emails.

    how can i contact itunes to get back my previous products i have purchased. I have emailed them several times but they won 't return my emails.

    iTunes support is online only. E-mail them again.  Realize they may not necessarily respond immediately.
    Of course if you had your purchases backed up on a hard drive you wouldn't need to contact them at all and they could be back on your computer in a matter of minutes.
