After upgrading to Mavericks, some websites won't load (using wifi)?

Hey guys,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Mavericks last December. I had some problems when loading some websites (such as eBay, Society6, etc) while I was at home using my home wifi in Indonesia. It's like, sometimes these websites won't load, but sometimes they do.
I've tried different browsers and it's still the same. I thought, it was just the wifi at my home in Indonesia that's problematic, because at work (using cable), the internet's just fine. But THEN, I am now here in Australia, I don't usually have problems with my aprtment's wifi at all, but now it's doing that thing. Some websites won't load properly or won't load at all. I realized that this is most likely has something to do with my laptop (ie. upgrading to Mavericks. I've never had this problem before), because the wifi works just fine with my smartphone and my iPod.
Has anyone encountered similar problem? How do you fix this?
Thanks so much,
S

Hello sharlegit
Try creating a new network location and test to see if the same thing happens of certain websites not working.

Some websites won't load at all

Hi I have 13" Mac Book Pro and some websites don't load at any browser at all. I have tried Safari and Google Chrome and the weird thing is that just some of the sites won't work (such as youtube, facebook, apple.com, and many "heavy"...). Also my wifi connection works normally with other computers (wich are PC). The webpages start loading and the blue bar stops at the middle, and it never finishes... Do you think it's a problem related to software or with Macintosh ? I tried to redefine Safari but nothing happens...
I look forward to someone's help,
Thanks.

Let's try using OpenDNS servers.
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS
click the + in the left side column and add the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK, Then click Apply.

After downloading OS X Yosemite some websites won't load and some will

I recently installed Yosemite on my Macbook (mid 2010), The update went fine, except some issues with iPhoto but that is solved now, the main issue is since the update some websites on Safari and Google Chrome will not load anymore. Some will( e.g. Bing) but most won't anymore. I have looked at system preferences and my internet connection and everything works fine. It is not just Safari and Chrome also the Appstore can't seem to connect to the internet either but Skype can. I do not know how to fix this issue.
I have another account on my laptop which works fine, this obviously also has Yosemite, internet works fine, App Store works fine etc. and it seems to me that the settings are the same. But this is not an account i normally use and i would like to be able to use my normal one again.

HI I am having the same problem.
1. The Activity window on Safari doesn't show anything. Sometimes it shows a ?.
2. Booted on Safe Mode and the same thing.
3. Connected wired to the Time Capsule, Wired to the Modem and same problem but connected Wireless with Airport and it works.
4. No software PeerGuardian or Firewall installed.
5. Network utility was unable to Ping apple.com or me.com.
6. Put the OpenDNS settings and I am still not able to go to Apple.com or me.com but I am able to ping with Network Utility and if I enter the IP of Apple.com it loads. However, Me.com doesn't.
7. Tried creating another account and problem is the same.
8. With any other computer the problem is not there.
9. Direct connection with ethernet to a computer works fine for data transfer or any other DL works also fine without interruption.
I have been using Airport up until now but now I am setting a Server and I need the Ethernet working fine.
Thank you,

Some websites won't load on Safari or Firefox

Hi all!
I have problems reaching some websites(http://www.insee.fr is a good example), using both Firefox and Safari, using a couple of Macs. The webpage keeps loading but nothing actually happens.
I used an iMac running on 10.4.11 using Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4.0.4 and a MacBook running on 10.5, using Firefox 3.4 and Safari 4.0.4.
I suspected an ISP-related issue at first, as the "problem" webpages will load up fine on the MacBook at another location, and using another ISP. However, I've reached those websites at home on an old PC running on XP and using Firefox 2!
So where is the problem?
The websites?
The ISP?
The browsers?
The computers?
Thank you in advance for your ideas!
Claude C

HI Claude,
Try Open DNS - Free / Basic
For trouble shooting purposes, please take a moment and click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us about your Macs and which Mac OS X they are running. This way you have a forum profile set up.
Thanks!

After upgrade to Firefox 10; hompeage won't load, back button not working, bookmark toolbar not loading

After upgrading my mac to Firefox 10 my homepage doesn't load, the back button doesn't work, there is no history in the URL bar (or any URL showing at all come to that), bookmark toolbar doesn't show unless I press CTRL and right click, none of my bookmarks are showing the saved login information...... HELP!!!! its driving me mad!

I ended up purging the entire system of Firefox including the cache because I couldn't update two of the plug ins. I installed Firefox again but still don't have
a bookmark bar.
Importing bookmarks from Safari is no longer a couple of clicks. First I had to export the file from Safari, and it installed on a dropdown menu. That's too much like Internet Explorer. At least with IE you can choose which version to use.
Everything I liked on Firefox 9 is gone in Firefox 10...or at least I can't find it! :D

Some Websites won't load

Nothing has change with my computer but today I am unable to get to a website/forum I go to all the time. I was able to get on twice, each time for about 5 minutes then it freezes up.
My wifi is fine, I can get everyone else except one other game site.
I get the same thing on Safari and Firefox. The bar starts to fill with blue but there is the X on the right end so I know it hasn't loaded.
I restarted my computer and that did nothing.
I have contacted the forum to see what is up but haven't gotten a reply.
I'm just wondering if anyone has an ideas since I'm not having problems anywhere else?
Thanks

I thought server too but one server was in the US and the other was in Europe. It was just odd because other people had no problem.
Thanks for the help.

Some pages no longer load using WIFI...

Hello,
I just started noticing this issue with my iPhone last week. My home wifi connection shows full strength but for some reason, some web pages that I frequently visit will no longer fully load. Safari shows about less than 1/4 load and will then stop and hang. These pages used to load with no problem. I get the same problems with youtube where videos will load about half and then stop and there is nothing I can do to have it finish. I downloaded a speedtest app and I get consistent 6-8mbs download speed but I am not sure if the packet is large enough to invoke the issue. On 3G, I have no issues. Pages and videos all load as expected. I am tempted to try a new router but I have no issues on my MBP. Orb used to work perfectly and now all I get are timeouts. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

This is what D-Link advised - for what it is worth
You may need to lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value on your network card or/and on your router. MTU can be changed to accommodate fragmentation of packets; specially encoded packets with secured data can be too large for the current MTU and cause too much fragmentation. Changing MTU on the router alone may not resolve the issue, in this case proceed with changing MTU on your computer's Network Adapter.
Changing MTU on router
Step 1. Log into your router by open your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer), enter the IP address of your router (e.g. 192.168.0.1) and press Enter. Specify username (admin) and password (blank by default) to log into the router.
Step 2. Click on the Setup tab and click on Internet on the left side. Then click on the 'Manual Configure' button.
Step 3. Look for the MTU field (note that it may not be available in some router models). The default MTU value is 1500, change it to lower number, e.g. 1200.
Step 4. Test your ability to connect to those specific sites youre having trouble with. If changing the MTU rate to 1200 does not resolve the problem, start lowering it in increments of ten until the problem is resolved (you may need to go as low as 600 depending on your Internet connection).
Changing MTU on computer
To lower the MTU size on your computer you can use utilities like Dr.TCP or TCP Optimizer. Alternatively you can follow the steps in this document: http://files.dlink.com.au/Products/!Routers/MTU_Win2K.XP.pdf

After upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?

after upgrade to mavericks: time machine keeps asking for my back up disk and won't open unless i plug in the disk. any solutions?
before the upgrade, i could open time machine without the need for having the back up disk plugged in.

Ok. I got it to work, sort of....
As I mentioned before I tried the "disk password" and the "Time capsule Password" options to see if I can start the back up again or start a new backup. Neither worked. So I tried the firmware down grade, but like you said that did not work. I then decided to try the "Account password" option and I have never used this option before becasue it states that if there is data on the drive it would not be acessable after creating an account. Since I wiped out the disk that was nno problem. When I created the new account and choose the drive it asked for the user name and password. I entered the info for the new account I just created(FYI this has nothing to do with your login username and password), bingo! It worked!
Now I have two partitions on the TC disk. The old one and now the new account. I am guessing this is to be used if I have multiple computers, which I don't.
I any case, I am going to wipe out everything again and try again to do a backup the way I had it before.

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
          Containers/com.apple.Preview
          Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist

Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
Thanks
Al Florez

A Brody,
I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
Again, Thank you

Iphoto won't open after upgrade to Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks a few wks ago I am having an issue with iphoto. It did an auto update after upgrading to Mavericks, but now it has a circle with a line through it (blocked). The pop up window says cannot open iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete.

Delete it and download from the App Store.

App store won't open after upgrading to Maverick

After upgrading to Maverick I cannot launch the app store. When clicking on the icon it shows 6 updates but will not open. Anyone else with this problem?

Hi gabbycallaghan,
If you are unable to load the Mac App Store after updating to Yosemite, you may want to see if you can access the iTunes Store and/or try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article, as access issues can often affect both stores:

After upgrading to mavericks, i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, etc

Why i cannot open mac app store, preview, calendar, software update, etc after upgrading to mavericks? How can i fix this? please help me

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 the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I restore my card reader after upgrading to Mavericks?

I have a MacBookPro that is not identifying the SD card reader since installing Mavericks. I have heard that ScanDisk has a patch but I have not been able to download it from their site. I have read that downloading the SandDisk patch on a PC and then transferring it to a Mac will fix the problem. I would sure appreciate some help restoring my Mac after uploading to Mavericks. My firewire drive does not seem to be working either. I cannot use my M-Audio firewire interface for recording and editing in ProTools. This represents a lot of down time and/or a pretty big loss of money for me. Can anybody tell me whether Apple provides support for these types of problems or is it completely up to the user to solve them? I am a relatively new Apple user. I bought the MacBook Pro shortly after they were released, about 2 1/2 years ago. Up to that time I was strictly a Windows user. I am surprised Apple did not seem to go to much, if any trouble to warn me of the difficulty I would have after upgrading to Mavericks. Apple, where are you?

Launch the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Conenct the card reader.
Then see if Image Capture recognizes the card unde DEVICES top left side of the Image Capture window.
BEFORE upgrading from one OS X to the next, check the websites for your third party software and hardware for compatibility.
Apple is not responsible for third party software and hardware used with your Mac.
