Apple home page and some other sites won't load via Safari.

Apple home page (and other sites) will not open in Safari. Randomly, others will, especially those saved as bookmarks. I've reset Safari, cleared the cache, verified the DNS - no luck. Wifi works fine for other devices. Mac OS 10.5.8/Safari 5.0.6. Any suggestions?

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

How can I get my bookmarks to display automatically, as vertical list on my Firefox home page (and every other site that I visit)?

I have tried to accomplish this via the Firefox "View," "Bookmarks," and "Tools" menus---to no avail.

There's a work around, although it's not perfect. Go to your photos app, choose the image you want for wallpaper. Tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it, send to wallpaper. then you can scale and move a bit to get your image closer to what you want.
It's still not perfect. Basically it scales your image so that it fits the whole screen, which means if your image is wider than your screen, you can just slide it left or right, but you do have more control than if you go through the settings.

Just installed Firefox 9.0.1. When opening a new browser session, two tabs will open. One is my home page and the other is a Firefox welcome page. I just want my homepage to open. How do I achieve this? Thanks.

Facebook, youtube, and some other sites doesn't work on Mountain Lion

Since I installed Mountain Lion (today) i can't acess facebook, youtube videos and some other sites. I thought the problem was the flash player so i've tryed uninstall and reinstall, desable and enable, and read some tips that didn't work until now. Hope you can help me =)

Found the answer myself, its a commun problem in Mountain Lion. Some guy found the way to make flash work well. Maybe some of you just need to install the latest version. But the truth is there is a bug and this is how to fix it:
System Preferenes > Network > Wi-Fi or Ethernet (whatever you're using) > Advanced > Hardware > Set 'Configure = Manually' > Change 'MTU = Custom' = 1380

Cyrillic font in google and some other sites like Wikipedia are looking different in Win XP and Win 7

Good day, gents.
Yesterday I installed 4 beta on my desktop after succesfull using it on laptop. But when i opened google (and some other sites) i found that fonts are looking different with the same settings. Here screens:
http://i52.tinypic.com/33x78eb.jpg - Laptop, Win XP Professional SP3 (Looks good)
http://i56.tinypic.com/5nw47l.jpg - Desktop, Win 7 Ultimate (Looks terrible, those Times New Roman makes me mad)
I tried reinstall, clearing cashe. In Firefox 3.6.9 on Desktop fonts was normal.
How to resolve this ? Thanks and sorry for my English.

Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. Defenders point out that "they", are not people, but machines. And they argue that it is a harmless way of making advertising relevant to users and raising revenues.
Others might say that whether a machine or a human is doing the work, the potential for a privacy breach is there.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

That extension may not be compatible with Firefox 6.0 beta.
{Ctrl + Shft + A} to open the Addons Manager tab, does that add-on show as being incompatible with Firefox 6?

Some internet sites won't load anymore

Since a couple of days I have been unable to load a couple of websites I check regularly like engadget and TUAW, while others (e.g Gizmodo) load extremely slowly and don't show pictures once they do load. There are some other sites that just won't work (Apple, imdb), but it seems very random since most sites do work normally.
The problem is the same in Safari 4, Firefox and Camino, so I'm guessing it's my mac in some way. I tried pinging Engadget and get a 100% failure rate every time. Once I try surfing there through www.the-cloak.com I get there just fine, though. I tried resetting my internet router (by taking the power off for a night and reconnecting it this morning), but that seems not to have changed anything.
Does anybody know what can possibly cause this?

Hi Nixed and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As the problem appears to be across various browsers I would suspect your ISP's DNS servers.
Have a look at OpenDNS and follow the instructions there. If you have browser access to your cable modem change the settings there, if not follow the instructions to change your Mac's settings.
Even if this doesn't solve your immediate problem using OpenDNS is A Good Thing because of their anti phishing and other security settings. They are also faster than many ISPs DNS servers.
The numbers you want are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Good luck,
Adrian

TS1398 I seem to be experiencing some technical difficulty when trying to load up my Facebook home page and also other people's FB home pages. My iPad initially starts to load the page, but then abruptly closes Safari. Any ideas on why/how to fix?

My Safari abruptly closes when trying to load my Facebook home page or the home page of others. It seems like there is too much info trying to load so it just shuts down. Any ideas on how to fix?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

When I start up firefox I get two windows that open in succession, one with my 'home page' and the other with the site I am seeking. How do I stop this?

This only occurs when I first open Firefox. Using tabs once I am down to one window does not open a new window.

Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

Need help! New internet service and now some web sites won't load

I just switched from Comcast cable internet to qwest DSL. I use Safari for my browser and my wife uses Firefox. I cannot get past the login portion of these sites:
flickr.com (or any yahoo-related site)
usbank.com
apple.com discussion forums (I'm on my PC-based laptop posting this)
Being that all of my PC-based laptops can access these sites just fine, I know it has something to do with the Mac.
First, I've emptied and cleared all my caches, deleted all cookies, reset both browsers, restarted my computer about 10 times and still cannot get past the login portion of the sites listed. I can get to the first page, but then when I go to login, it freezes up.
Had this problem with facebook at first too, but after doing what I talked about above (resetting everything), I was able to log into facebook.
Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end.
Just as an FYI, I had no problems accessing these sites with my cable internet modem.
Oh, I'm also using Safari 5.0.3 and firefox 3.6.13 (have the same problem with both of these browsers on my mac).

Hi,
Try repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US 
Restart your Mac. If that didn't help, go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure *User names and passwords* is selected. Now open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left. Delete all keychains related to the sites you have problems logging in.
Relaunch Safari and try those sites. You should be prompted to save the login data to a new keychain. If that didn't help, login to another user account. Launch Safari. If you see the same problems there, then log back into your admin account, launch Disk Utility. Select MacintosHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
If Disk Utility reports, you will have to boot from your install disc to make repairs, instructions here.

Is there a way to open new tabs in the home page or some other link?

When I open a new tab using the "+" symbol I get a blank page. I would like new tabs to open in my home page, or, if possible, a different page, like my favorite web browser, which is what I usually want when I open a new tab.
Can this be done? I can't find the right preference for it, assuming that's the right place for such an option.

Nothing beats about:blank in my opinion for clarity and for tab history.
Here is an extension that does what you asked for, it is VERY large for what you get out it (which to me, what I would get out of it is confusion).
'''NewTabURL''' :: Add-ons for Firefox (49.2 KB)
:Select default URL when new tabs are opened: "Blank page", "Home page", ""Current page" or a user defined URL.
:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

When I initially open Firefox it opens 2 tabs. One is my home page and the other is another bookmark but I do not know why it is happening or how to stop it.

When I open Firefox 2 tabs always open. One is my homepage and the other is another page that I have bookmarked. I do not know why this happens or how to fix it.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== first installed

Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?
