Accessing bit.ly websites using Airport

I am finding that I just cannot access websites that start with an http://bit.ly/... address using my MacBook over an Airport connection.
I'm using a Belkin wireless router that is configured to use OpenDNS but have no problem reaching any other websites. Also I have no problems accessing bit.ly websites using a Mac mini (via ethernet) and an iPod touch both of which are going via the same router.
I cannot find any Network settings in System Preferences that could pertain to this problem so any ideas would be appreciated.
regards,
Martin

I just checked and can do so with no issues.
Make sure that you don't have any proxy servers set in your Network preference pane for your AirPort connection.

Blocking websites using airport utility?

i have a time capsule airport utility that i use as my router. how do i block websites on certain computers using this router?

There is no such ability in apple routers.

Can connect to Netflix etc, via the MacBook, but cannot access on HDMI TV using Airport Express.

I just chose a trial Netflix account. I can connect with Netflix or Youtube, etc via the MacBook, but can't access anything when trying to access same on my HDMI TV through my new Toshiba Blue Ray Disc player. (using my airport express connected to my Time Warner router.) It recognizes my locked, wireless network, but times out before connecting.

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

I cannot gain access to my website using Contribute CS5

I have Contribute CS5 on a Mac running 10.7.5 and used to be able to access it but cannot now. I CAN access the site on the internet fine and using YummyFTP can upload to it fine.
When I use the CS5 Wizard to set up the connection I end up with "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." I have double checked all the inputs, I called my ISP and went thru everything there = all permissions are open to me, I'm usign the proper user ID and password and she can get to the site also.
When I do get the CS5 Wizard going it says in a dialog screen "Downloading 'cthub...etc....csi' and nothing else happens.
Another dialog that comes up is -- "Contribute cannot verify your connection information. / Please contact your administrator for assistance."
I have talked to the ISP and we can't solve it between us.

I finally gained access as a User but I cannot call myself an Administrator = it says my password is wrong but I put in the password for my website access - what other password are they talking about???

Can't Access My Own Website when using TMobile phone as Modem

I am using my Nokia 5310 as a bluetooth modem through TMobile on my MacBook. When I try to access my own website, it redirects me to a address that says, "Great Success! Apache is working on your website..." and so on. However, when I disconnect the modem and use my airport bluetooth connection I can get to my site immediately. I've tried rebooting my MacBook, pulling the battery out of the phone, refreshing the browser, emptying the cache, all to no avail. I called Tmobile and got their "Tier 3" people who said it's not from their side but could not give me any real reason it's doing this. They reconfigured my settings to see if that would work but it didn't.
I can access all other sites but my own website. I tried Firefox and got the same conclusion.
If it's the computer why would I be able to get to my site when I use my airport? If it's the phone, why would I be able to access the site through the web browser on my phone?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi halacious, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Airport & Bluetooth are two separate Interfaces, so that is a bit confusing.
Where is this Website hosted? Locally on your own machine, or on the Internet?
Any Router involved there?

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

How do I use airport extreme to control individual device access?

I don't understand how I can control individual device access to the web using my AirPort Extreme.
I set up the network on a PC (for technical reasons) but hoping to control access of individual devices (including a Mac but also iPods and iPads) to the web using an iPad (although can use the PC if necessary). I have downloaded AirPort Utility on the PC and an iPad but can't work out what to do next.
Can anyone please provide some instructions or point me in the right direction?

The AE has no controls except timed access to wireless.. is that what you are after??

I'm trying to access an uncompleted app. on a gov't website using Safari 5.1. I receive a message saying the browser is incompatible with the website. It has been suggested that use Safari 5.0 instead. Must I delete 5.1 first, or can I have both browsers

I'm trying to access an uncompleted app. on a gov't website using Safari5.1 I receive a message saying the browser is incompatible. I have been advised to use Safari 5.0. Must I delete 5.1 or can I use both browsers on my Mac.

As above, there is more to Safari than just the App, however I dont like the changes in 5.1, so restored the 5.0 version of just the App and it functions just like it used to
It might not work for you, and it can just be deleted if it doesn't, not sure how easy it is without time machine
go into Finder and Applications folder
enter time machine (it will default to app folder)
find a date that you had 5.0
click to restore it (Do Not restore into original location, restore it to desktop to test it)
When this has been done, run Safari from your desktop and see if it fixes your issue
I have been using this version done like this for a couple of weeks and it is fine, I did copy it to the Application\Utitlities folder along with some other older software I have, then made this one the version on my dock
If it doesn't make any difference just delete Safari.app from your desktop

I used to manage 3 websites using both my imac and macbook, using dropbox, however I can no longer access them from my mac book.

I have been managing 3 websites using iWeb for the last several years, using both my iMac and Macbook. However for the last two weeks, I can no longer access these sites from my macbook. It appears "empty". When I first started seeing this, I took it to the Genius Bar in another city and he moved some library contents to my desktop - still didin't help.
I know iWeb is a thing of the past, but I can't stop right now and learn something new for about the next 4 weeks (in a sports team in the middle of a season)
. After that, I will have time to learn a new product.
Also, what is a suggestion for replacing iWeb? Sandvox? Rapid Weaver?
Thanks!

What do you mean when you say you "can no longer access these sites?" Does that mean you can't connect to those sites in your web browser, or that they aren't showing up in iWeb?
If the latter, note that your iWeb data is all entirely stored in a hidden file. In the Finder, choose Go -> Go To Folder and paste the following path into the window that opens:
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb
In that folder, you will find a single file, called Domain. That's got all the data for all your iWeb sites. If that file is missing, or if it has become corrupt, you will need to restore it from an earlier backup.
As for replacing iWeb, either Sandvox or RapidWeaver should work. Which works best will depend on your own tastes. Note that neither is capable of fully importing iWeb sites, as those sites will have a lot of content that is copyrighted by Apple. For more information about transitioning to one of these products, see:

I'm running 5.0.1 which isn't compatible with the website used by my graduate studies program. In lieu of switching to IE 9 to access this site, is there any way to gain access to Firefox 4.0?

The website used by my graduate studies program doesn't yet support Firefox 5.0. In lieu of switching browsers, I would like to get an older version of Firefox (4.0) to support my studies.
Thanks.

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

I created a website using MobilMe and now I cannot access it. What do I do to recover it?

I built a website using Apple software and now that MobileMe does not exist I cannot access it. What can I do to retrieve it?

You cannot retrieve the actual html pages from MobileMe as all contents have been deleted. However ifyou are using iWeb they would have done you little good as iWeb cannot open html pages.
iWeb keeps its data in a file called 'Domain' which by default lives in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb and when you open iWeb it should open the file automatically and show your site, which you can then publish to another server.
If you have moved the Domain file to a different location you will need to find it and open it in iWeb or move it back to the default location.
If you cannot locate the file you will have to recreate your site from scratch.
The method of publishing to another hosting service depends on which version of iWeb you have: please see this page -

Trying to access a website using Silverlight 5.1.30514.0 in IE 11.0.18 (KB3038314) "This browser doesn't support Silverlight, sorry!"

I'm trying to access a specific website built using Silverlight. My local Silverlight version is 5.1.30514.0, and I'm using IE 11.0.18 (KB3038314) but I keep getting the message "This browser doesn't support Silverlight, sorry!"
I've seen this work on other machines using the same version of IE and Silverlight so I'm not sure what could be causing that to come up.

What operating system?
If it's win 8+ without a pro on the end then that's a problem.
You need the desktop version of ie11.
If you see tiles, that's a problem.
All OK?
Set the security settings here:

Thanks a lot in advance.

0- the fact the ISA server logs an 'anonymous' seems logical, since it answers by HTTP 407. I will say it's even a "good log" :) but I had preferred a good old "security exception" but it's not the case..
1- The code for checking the properties (your debugging) should be placed BEFORE trying to connect to the url if you want to see what's happening
2- The 'normal' way to set the proxy is to set the following properties
System.setProperty("http.proxySet","true"); // and NOT https.proxyset as ejp said
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","123.456.789.123");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","80");
3- what's the behavior if you change 123.456.789.123 by the real name (hostname) of the server ?
4- You can try setting up the proxy in the java control panel instead of in your code (easy to do under Windows, you look for the networking settings, and you find the proxy settings for http/https there. Otherwise look for all files called net.properties and edit them).
5- to help debbuging, we can rely on several methods of Authenticator :
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
System.err.println(".\tgetRequestingHost: " + getRequestingHost());
System.err.println("..\tgetRequestingSite: " + getRequestingSite());
System.err.println("...\tgetRequestingPort: " + getRequestingPort());
System.err.println("....\tgetRequestingProtocol: " + getRequestingProtocol());
System.err.println(".....\tgetRequestingPrompt: " + getRequestingPrompt());
System.err.println("......\tgetRequestingScheme: " + getRequestingScheme());
return new PasswordAuthentication("<USERNAME>",new String("<USER_PASSWORD>").toCharArray());
Try all this and let us see the output messages.
Please remember to give some 'duke stars' if it helped resolving the problem ;)
