Safari can't open a specific web page when parental controls are enabled and don't give access to modify the dock.

iMac running mountain lion with all updates applied.
I (my kids) are trying to use www.coolmath-games.com and when I have parental controls enabled and I do not give the ability to modify the dock the page comes up blank.
It doesn't matter how I have the web controls set (I said allow all just to be sure).
If I toggle on "allow user to modify the dock" the above page works. If I toggle it off, then the page doesn't work.
I *think* this page worked in Lion, but I don't know for sure. The kids just started complaining about it after I updated to mountain lion.
Any suggestions?

Can't browse to specific web page

I am having an interesting problem browsing to the website http://members.boston.com/reg/login.do
This is the login page for Boston.com; you are asked to create an account to access more content.
I can access this page from my MacBook (Intel, 10.4.10) without issues as well as from my XP PC. However, when I try from my iMac 17" (also 10.4.10), it hangs. I have the problem with Safari and Firefox.
"Safari can’t open the page “http://members.boston.com/reg/login.do”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)"
I see nothing in the console when I get this error. How can determine what the problem is?
Help!
Thanks,

Have you tried clearing the Caches in one of the Browsers, or better yet, I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Why won't Firefox open a specific web site when Safari will

I am unable to open a specific website on Firefox yet I can open it with Safari on the same computer. I have a Mac Air and am using Firefox 26.0 with OSX 10.9.1

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on)?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can not open official Apple web pages?

Very strange.... can not open Apple web pages... just hangs on loading!
http://www.apple.com/au/retail/sydney/
http://www.apple.com/au/
etc etc..
tried reset safari.
any thoughts?

I have the same problem! I have my iMac and my PC connected via same router and same adsl modem. On the PC I can browse www.apple.com (actually, it takes half a minute to load the page, but it works); the iMac (both Safari and Firefox) is unable to load any page in the Apple official site.
On the iMac I'm able to load the Apple home page only if I digit directly the IP Address of www.apple.com site. Very strange. I'd appreciate any suggestion, thanks in advance.

How can I recive automatic web pag updates for a specific web page when it changes?

I want to be automatically notified of changes to this web page:

In the next few days, limited reservations for this trip will be open to SCBC members. It is important that you to read all the information posted at http://soundcyclists.com/SpecialEvents.htm#CapeTrip about the trip so you can decide if you want to go.
IMPORTANT: If you decide you want to go, you will need to standby in the next few days when the reservation system is opened, since there is limited space and there has already been an expressed interest by many in going.
We want to give all members a fair and equal opportunity to reserve a spot but you must know reservations are on a first come, first server bases so you must be ready when the link to the reservation system appears. Just return to the URL above (you may want to bookmark it), where you will be able to access the system when it's available.
Once the limited is reached, the system will be shut down. Any reservation that get through after the limit is reached and before the system is turned off, will be refunded.
Payment will be made through our PayPal system so as they say, have your credit card ready. Be sure to read the posting for details in advance of the reservation system becoming available.

Can't open normally viewed web pages

Pages that I normally view, were even put on my Toolbar, I am unable to open. Even if I google them and click on them from there, I can't open. I normally use Firefox, and have tried to open pages through Safari, still can't open. I am able to get on webpages from my home pc, that is not an Apple. The websties I am unable to access are: www.pickerington.k12.oh.us, www.ebay.com, www.phaprowlers.com, and just this morning www.lifetimefitness.com. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Have you installed anything or changed anything before all of this started happening?
I had this same problem some months ago and it turned out to be that in System Preferences > Network > Advanced - a few tick boxes were selected for a HTTP and HTTPS Proxy - This probably won't be an issue for you as you wont be able to connect to the internet full stop but have a gander through the Network Preferences and see if there is anything unusual ticked.
Also are you browsers up to date? I think Firefox has just released yet another update and maybe try running Software Update and install any updates found.
One last thing - Check in your browser preferences to see if Cookies are enabled.
Hope this helps.
Nick

How can I set a default web-page when opening new tab?

Every time I open a new tab the page is empty and I have to go to bookmarks or write URL-address to open a web-page.

Install the following Add-ons:
*'''''New TabURL''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*after install, set the options. ''Add-ons > Extensions > New TabURL > Options''

Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website. When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the link! I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it still does not work! I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows. HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page. If it helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

Go to this link:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
Go to global security settings.
Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
Thanks,
Jesse

I Have an email the recently went invalid and I can not open my apple settings. When I put in my password it keeps saying invalid id because the email is invalid. How do I reset to a new email or merge accts to another email without deleting all items i

Need help merging or resetting apple id
I have a email that recently was closed out and can not open
This email was my apple id

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

Kids can't browse internet in their profile if parental controls are on

Hi,
I have profiles set up for each of my kid on our Mac. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could set parental controls for time/programs to open etc. AND they could still browse the internet using Safari.
For some reason the last couple of weeks the kids can't browse Safari if they have a managed account. The only way to let them browse is to change their account status to "standard" instead of "managed". Is there a way that I can manage their account and still let them browse the internet? I've been trying to figure out this for days but I can't figure out what has changed to prevent them from doing this. I have recently run all software updates.
Thanks so much!

I'm replying to my own posting as I have solved the problem and wanted to post it in case anyone else has the same problem. I would venture to say that upcoming updates to the Android system may solve this problem.
For some reason, when the Thrive is set for DHCP ip addressing, it is not going out to the internet. So, I changed the network profile to manual with a static IP address. I also input the router address and DNS addresses with the router's IP address. As soon as I saved the changes it was magic. The tablet connected and internet speed was lightning fast.
So, anyone having problems, give this a try as you'll not get anywhere with Cisco or Toshiba support.

Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.
