Pictures won't load in Safari, or any other browser

I have an intermittent problem where internet pictures won't load. This seems to happen mostly on social networking or picture intensive sites. I've particularly had trouble with myspace, livejournal, facebook, flickr, okcupid, etc., but it is not limited to those sites. Sometimes pics won't load in Safari but will load in firefox. Sometimes the other way around. Sometimes neither of those browsers will work, and neither will opera, explorer, etc. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm connected by airport or ethernet. I Know it is not my internet connection because I have a PC on the same network that never has this problem. When I travel with my macbook, the problem comes with me.
I am currently running 10.5.2 on a 2 GHZ macbook. Previously, I had this exact same problem on a 550 MHZ Titanium Powerbook G4 running 10.4. I used to think it was just my old slow computer, but when I upgraded computers I transferred all my files and settings with the migration assistant, and the problem seems to have followed.
Things I have tried:
1. Making a new user account. I added a new account but did not delete my old one or do a clean install. This did not work.
2. Using a new DNS server. No dice.
Any suggestions?

  • Certain webpages do not load in Safari or any other browser or iPhone..?

    I'm having an issue with certain webpages loading on my Macbook...(ex. my bank site, Facebook). Sometimes I am lucky enough to get to the login page, but it stalls there.  Since the issue started while using Safari, I tried using FireFox, but the issue persists..tried to access the same pages' mobile sites in Safari on my iPhone 4S and it doesn't load either and gives this message "Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server."
    I've emptied my Safari history and cache, but it didn't help. It seems like this issue just started overnight!
    I am running Leopard 10.5.8 on a late-2007 Macbook.
    Please help, thanks!

    Hi I am using an iphone 4 and its was working fine.  Presently its giving browsing error.  Whenever I am trying to browse internet by using safari or any other browser it retruns with an error message "server not responding" Even the same thing is happening with youtube also. The worst part is am able to check my mails, able to chat and so on... only thing not able to browse through the browser.  I have tried restore option also.  This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
    Please help...

    I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
    If you are on your own #G network then:
    Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
    Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
    If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
    If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.

  • Web sites with pictures won't load on safari

    Sometimes I go to a website and pictures won't load. Works on my Mac though, so I know it isn't the web sites. I am missing something as far as a java update or something?

    Can your phone view the pictures on other websites?

  • TS2296 For around 10 days, people cannot access my website on Mac/ipad. Be it safari or any other browser unless they change DNS settings.

    All other access on PC or mobile is FINE, but through Mac or iPad it just doesn't work.
    Nothing has changed behind the scenes, there are no error logs, and everything was previously fine. Has there been some sort of security update recently that could have caused this? How can we rectify something that we have had no notification of?

    Here's a recent update I had from a member of ours...
    Right..here's the latest. It worked while I was abroad, that's on a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.3. What it didn't do was refer the site to my favourites page...I had to type the website into the search every time. Now I'm home it won't work on Safari on the MacBook, but will work on Firefox albeit excruciatingly slowly. (I'm on Sky's ISP at home)
    It still refuses to come up on my Mac PC on either Safari or Chrome. There is just one other website that is also giving problems and that is Sky super 6 that will come up but refuses to let me log on. Oh!...and I don't have any problems getting the site up on my phone which uses the same Sky WiFi as both my Apple tools.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pages not loading properly in Safari (or any other browser)

    My wife just got a new iMac and it's worked perfectly until today.
    Suddenly web pages aren't loading correctly.  No images load--only text and links down the left-hand side.  Here's a pic:
    This happens in Safair, Firefox, Chrome ... nothing we can find seems to fix it.
    I thought the Safari experts might have a solution.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion, Linc.
    As it turns out, we use an internet filter called Safe Eyes that was preventing images from loading on certain web pages.  This makes sense, since every browser we tried had the exact same problem.
    We changed some of our filter settings and now the pages upload normally.
    Thanks!

  • My Safari (or any other browser), won't open Ebay, Facebook, Yahoo! Mail

    I just moved into a new apartment. I do not have an apple wireless router, it is a DI-524, and it has always worked. I set up my network and configured everything, and for a few days everything was working fine.
    A few days ago though, suddenly safari, firefox, and even the old crummy version of Internet Explorer wouldn't properly load sites like ebay, usaa, facebook, and Yahoo! mail. I don't know a lot about websites but perhaps these all have something in common?
    Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the problem so that I could get those sites loading properly again.

    Same problem
    New MAC owner (iMac, macbook 13", mac mini). My son's been complaining about facebook, myspace, youtube being slow for the past week or so. I don't use those sites so I thought maybe it was something HE was doing, or they're just very busy sites.
    I tried doing some online banking at USAA.com yesterday and hit the same walls (loops) everyone else is experience, HAS experienced, with nearly every update of the Safari browser (so far as I can tell from this forum and hundreds of others on the web). I'm using Safari Version 3.1.2 (5525.20.1)
    I'm ALSO having the SAME problem with MS XP IE 6 (recent update), but not 7 (NOT updated in past month).
    Tech svc at USAA tells me this is an ongoing problem with Apple AND MS and they're trying to decide whether to change THEIR software, or hope APPLE/MS does THEIR part in testing their products more fully before doing these updates which cause the same problem month after month.
    I bought MACs 'cause I was tired of dealing with the weekly updates/crashes/virus/malware and XP software problems to the tune of several dozen hours a year (4 home PCs on our network) and just wanted a computer that WORKED.
    Well, this isn't working.
    Have an email into Apple tech svc for a callback, so unless you have a DIRECT fix, or a way to roll back the OS, there's no need to reply.
    This is NOT, repeat, NOT a problem with USAA, Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, but with the OS X update.

  • Java won't work in Safari (or any other web client on my Mac)?

    The title pretty much says it all. Anytime I try to run something online that requires Java, the little cup with the arrows swirling around it appears and nothing happens. I've tried 3 different web browsers (Firefox and Flock) to no avail. Help?

    Hi
    Which version of Leopard are you using? Your tag says 10.5.1. If not sure, go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac

  • Outlook Web Access not working in Safari or any other browse

    When I try to access OWA from ANY browser, Safari, IE, or Firefox, I get the same error.
    "You could not be logged on to Outlook Web Access. Make sure your User Name and Password are correct, and then try again."
    When I log in from my PC, I don't have this problem.
    The IT guys at work claim that they won't support Mac problems. Typical....
    Any thoughts?

    Don't know if this will help, but are you providing the correct credentials via Safari? When you use IE, you are presented with a dialog box that asks for userid, password, and domain name. Safari and other browsers will only ask for the userid and password. Consequently, when using these browsers, you need to preface your userid with the domain name followed by a backslash. For example:
    mydomain\jsmith
    While Safari works with OWA, it has an annoying habit of requesting the username and password frequently as you navigate through OWA. I also find that I occasionally have to to click twice on a button to get Safari to activate a command such as reading a message or the Send button. I now use Camino for OWA access. It's cleaner and faster.

  • Can't connect to Safari or any other browser

    My email works fine, and my service provider told me it was a Mac issue. How can I get back on the web?
    Thanks.

    Are Parental Controls active on your account? Is a web proxy selected in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies?
    If the answer to both questions is no, proceed as follows.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Do you know any flash plugins for safari or any other browser?

    I often go on miniclip.com where you need a plugin to play an online game. I am wondering if anyone knows of any plugins I could install.

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • I can't activate my one-to-one account in Safari or any other browser. Help.

    I can't activate my Apple one-to-one account that I purchased with my computer. I want to reserve a time to bring my computers into my local Apple Store for Personal Setup/file transfer (my old G4 Powerbook can't communicate with the OS Lion MacBookPro). I have an Apple ID and when I login my ID and Activation code are recognized, but when I accept terms and conditions in step 3, nothing happens. No error message, just stay on the same page. I get the same response whether I use Safari or Firefox.
    What gives. Is there no way to reserve an appointment? Do I just need to bring my stuff in and hope I have to spend hours waiting to see someone?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    did u call the support number from where u bought it

    Check Safari > Preferences  -  General
    Click the search engine you want as default from the pop up menu next to: Default search engine.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If didn't help, go to ~/LibraryPreferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari. If that worked, move the .plist file to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
