Almost every website requires multiple tries because "cannot find server". Problem started about 10 days ago

Whether I use bookmarks or type a url and then click I get a message that the server cannot be found. I click on try again as many as seven times before the site comes up. This is happening with almost every site from Google to blogs.

UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting. This is a puzzle!!!

  • HeLp!!! The earlier version of Fifefox supports "Live Connect" but the 3.6 doesn't. I need to downgrade my FireFox to an earlier version for my online classes. I'm desperate because I was supose to start class 10 days ago and cant. Please, help....

    I looked in Firefox properties to find what I Firefox i am using and it shows the following:
    The Firefox File version is: 1.9.2.3951
    The File Name is: 1.9.2.12
    The Product Version is: 3.6.12
    My problem is this: The company I work for "Prudential R.E." has online training courses. I can't access it because I get the following message: "You cannot play the learn 2 course content with this version of netscape" because it has no live connect support"
    The training center for Prudential told me this: ""Currently the LearnCenter does not support Firefox 3.6 but does support the
    earlier versions and this could be the issue.""
    How do I get the earlier version of Firefox?
    And if I can get the earlier version of Firefox. "How do I fix this problem? Do I uninstall all of Firefox and then reinstall the earlier version if I can get access to a download of it somewhere?
    Please Help...
    Thanks

    It seems you need to update Java on your computer.

    You should be able to do that from the Windows control panel

  • My cookies disappear when I close Firefox and reopen it. This started about two days ago. Even my Yahoo mail now forces me to login every time. Prior to this, it would retain the login and password for two weeks. What is causing this?

    My bank (ING) has cookies that retain my login. Without the login, I have to answer the challenge questions every time. I am not set for private browsing and I have accept cookies from third party sites and until they expire.

    As a follow up, I've discovered that this is happening in IE on the same websites. When I log into a different computer and test the same scenarios, the cookies do not disappear. It seems to be a problem on my computer. However, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be glad to hear it.

  • Firefox crashes at completely random times, sometimes when I have tons of tabs open, sometimes when I have just one open. Also, Vista tells me "Firefox has stopped working" every time that I close it. This started about 3 days ago.

    It happens completely randomly. Also, when I tried wearing a persona recently, it crashed after 10 seconds. The browser still crashes when I don't wear it.

  • When trying to read emails on hotmail on firefox, the "back" button on my mouse doesn't work right. It works fine if I use internet explorer. This started about three days ago.

    Also doesn't work right when I try to click on the inbox. I sometimes just get a blank screen. Seems to work fine on every other site except Hotmail.

    Nothing changed after clearing cashe and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

  • That stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

    i have problem with my iphone 3G that stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

    App developers decide on what iOS versions to support with their apps. Also, Apple has identified certain updates that are necessary for particular applications. The only way to continue using certain apps on the iPhone 3G is to not update your apps if they require a higher iOS to operate. When you get ready to update an app, it will say what iOS is works on, and if it requires higher than the iOS you have, do not update. The only other alternative is to replace the device with a newer model.

  • Cannot find server error trying to download Migration Workbench

    I've been trying to download OMWB for the last 4 days, from Oracle Migration Workbench Downloads / Release 9.2.0.1.2 for Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/XP page.
    Keep getting 'Cannot find server' and 'Page cannot be displayed' errors in Internet Explorer.
    Is this the correct URL:
    http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/omwb/92012/omwb_92012.exe
    I downloaded and used the previous version of OMWB. Was very satisfied with it. Unfortunately, I had to rebuild my hard drive and lost OMWB.

    I suggest that you retry, maybe there was some network glitches... If you follow the links from OTN you should be able to download no problems. Did you try the split downloads as an alternative?

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • "Cannot Find Server" Constant Error Message

    I've been having this problem for quite some time. I will attempt to connect to a website only to wait forever and then get a "Cannot find server" error message. It's not just with one site, it happens with many.
    It's also random. Sometimes everything connects fine and fast, and then inexplicably I get "Cant' find server" for sites like Facebook, Amazon, even Apple. It can start working again for a few minutes and then in an instant I'm getting error messages again.
    However, my email always works fine.
    And this is NOT a Safari problem. I also get the same trouble when I switch to Firefox or Explorer. My ISP says it's an Airport / Mac issue since it all works fine if I direct connect to the laptop and because my email is also working.
    In addition, when I'm having this problem, my iPhone also cannot connect to the WWW but can get email.
    I've tried powercycling the modem and the airport numerous times. It's really becoming a pain.
    Any thoughts?

    Me too I tried everything. I am an Apple fan with 2 computers,3 iPods. I have no idea what the problem is. I had to re-run the disk each time to find the internet. Finally tried a Linksys Grouter worked first time-laptop anywhere in the house strong signal. I have had similar problems with an Airport Express-never got it to work-so tried the Extreme. I returned it-I didn't want to but I just could not get it to work.

  • Network Printing... "Cannot Find Server"

    I am having trouble in having my printer be a... "Network Printer"….  It is a HP Laserjet 2015 Printer.
    I have a Mac OS version ~ 10.8.2.....
    If i have the printer connect directly to the computer via USB, (with no network) the printer works fine, but if I try to set up a network using an Ethernet Cable from the printer to the Linksys E1200 Router, then I am unable to print.  I get pages with Error messages.
    When I run "Network Diagnostics"…. I get a….. "Cannot find Server"….. along with the message below….
    Any suggestions?

    rkaufmann87,
    The printer that I have does not have network capabilities built in.... to have the network capabilities, HP says an additional piece of equipment must be used.... in my case, an HP JetDirect 175x Print Server... I found a used one on eBay that was inexpensive, so I purchased that, and have been trying to configure it to my computer and printer for about 5 hours now.... all I got were error pages.
    I have an older iMac (2008), and I wanted the ability of the use of one printer for the new and old computers.
    After I read your advice, I disconnected the HP JetDirect 175x Print Server entirely, and used just a USB cable from the printer to the computer. 
    The printer worked great from my new computer, but I still wanted the ability of using the printer with the older computer (Wi-Fi). I went into the Print & Scan of System Preferences, and for the heck of it, I clicked the "Printer Sharing" box. 
    I went to the old computer, and for the heck of it, I tried printing something.... LO & BEHOLD it worked. 
    I don't know how it works, because as I said before, the printer is not network-ready.  When I bought the printer several years ago, there were two printers of that model on the shelf.  One was a HP 2015, and the other was a HP 2015n.... (n meaning network).  At the time I didn't think that I would ever need a network printer, which was more expensive, so I purchased the non-network one.
    Now I am truly bewildered as to how I am able to print from both computers without the HP JetDirect 175x Print Server.
    Do you, or anyone else have the answer to that????

  • Windows cannot find (null) problem - firefox wont start? help!

    ive just got a 'windows cannot find (null)' problem when staritng Firefox; being using it for years no problem but cannot open it now. tried removing and reinstalling, still get the message.
    any ideas what I can do??

    Yesterday after posting my problem I consulted a computer programmer. He advised me to follow the pathway C:\\users|richard\....... from Explorer to the extension and delete it.
