Trouble loading some web pages but not others

having a little trouble lately...
For some reason safari and, well, any other browser, come to think of it isnt work on particular pages.
Example. The other day google.com wasnt coming up just spinning its wheels then saying:
Safari can’t open the page “http://google.com/” because it could not connect to the server “google.com”.
Another example: Safari could not open the page “http://cbgundaker.com/” because the server stopped responding.
I called my ISP and sat thru 2 hours worth of trouble shooting and got nowhere. They thought it was a DNS issue but I can reach the sites from other machines in the network so it looks like it is only effecting this particular powerbook. I've sat two machines down next to each other and it'll work on one but not the other(same wireless or wired network). annoying.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
p

pardon me for butting in, this problem is driving me crazy.
i just tried your dns thing, no effect.
what i can't understand is why does my iBook display all 5 pages that i can't display on my iMac? i visit these sites everyday
-the bookmarks are synced between the two, iBook and iMac use same internet
-i copied the iBook plist for internet and safari over to my iMac-no change
-i did all the resets, clear cache, disk utility,ditch plists
-safari, camino,opera,firefox,shirra do not open these 5 pages
-macworld.com opens fine, macworld.com/news/ does not
-my admin account does not display these 5 pages
-i turned on airport, connected to someone's unprotected network and tried the sites to no avail (i have my own wired internet connection)
-it hangs on the 2nd to last item in the progress bar, ie "8 out 9 items"
-this all started sometime after the last security update and before10.4.6
i am at wits end!

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

Google loads but web pages will not. Just goes back to home screen.

Any time you introduce new networking hardware (regardless of the reason) it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

Safari won't load some web pages.

Ever since installing Mavericks, Safari won't load some web pages (including these Apple support pages). I'm able to load the pages using Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know of any settings in Safari 7 or the Mavericks system preferences that would be causing this?

I had the same problem... I ran disk repair and repaired all permissions on the HD then reopened safari now it's working fine.

I have a MacBook Air...I am having a very hard time loading some websites

I am having a very hard time with some websites opening on my computer, but when I try to open them on my daughters computer(not an apple) it opens immediately

Go step by step and test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

Having a hard time deleting some mail from junk! Every time I delete it returns to the junk mail instantly! Won't go away! What's up with that

Having a hard time deleting two junk mail messages! I press edit , I check the message, I try to delete and a screen message appears telling me the message cannot be removed! Not sure what to do here! Please advise?

Did you try swiping across the message in the preview window rather than use the Edit button? If you still can't delete the messages, quite mail and reboot the iPad and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that still doesn't work, log into your email in a web browser and delete the junk mail there.

I am having trouble loading some web pages

Oer the past couple of days I am having difficulty loading simpple web pages. Anybody that can help?

I think it may be the same as this below

No "definitive" answer there either, unfortunately.

IMac won't load some web pages

I just got wireless internet out on my farm and hooked up my fairly new IMac G5 to it. When I connect it directly to the antennae (not through a router) everything works great. When I hook it through a router ( I have used linksys wireless g and a netgear wgr613 v6) the Imac will only load certain web pages. e.g. It will load Apple.com, but won't play the Macworld keynote address. It won't load Ebay at all. It will load cnn.com and others just fine. When I bypass the router, everything loads and works. I have also taken the IMac to work and hooked up to our office ethernet through a router, multiple wireless access points, and hubs, and the IMac works great all of the time. I tried the linksys first and it works for a little while and then fizzles away to nothing working. I then upgraded firmware and it worked a little while longer before dying. The netgear works all of the time for some, but not everything. When I hookup my Windows XP notebook, it works all of the time on either router. I have tried both routers either wireless, or wired, with the same results. Thanks....
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Yes, that did it. I put in the two DNS numbers for my ISP and that solved the problem. Still don't understand why that caused it, but yet worked sometimes. Oh well.....Thank you

Safari will not finish loading some web pages

I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc). It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
Some web pages work fine, but some don't. For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari. Links or images will be missing. I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form. I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine. Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem. I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference. Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user. I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect. Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement. At least I think I was in safe mode. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key. The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode." Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari. Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you. I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me. After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer. I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
Here was the solution:
I opened Finder
Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
Opened Preferences
Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again. Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

Highlighting only works on text documents; a scanned document (image) cannot be highlighted.
