Bad Request message when I try to go to websites.

I have a Power Mac G4 533Mhz running on 9.1.1 It looks like I have 1.5 G with a backside of 1MB. I bought this computer in 1999 with high hopes for doing fun things but eneded up using it mostly for word processing for my office work! I am not ready to give up on this computer so I am now going to upgrade to Tiger. I already upgraded to max. memory. But now I am having trouble with the internet. I have AOL and Comcast. My problem is getting a Bad Request message when I try to get on the web through Comcast. Any ideas as to where to start to figure out this problem? I am so glad I found this discussion forum. I know I will be needing lots of advice in trying to fix up this machine.
Power Mac G4   Mac OS 9.0.x   533 MHz

Welcome To Discussions petuniapetals!
Also, make sure that you use a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD.
You will also need a newer version of AOL for Tiger.
You can download this new copy of AOL For Mac OS X, and save to Desktop.
Or download a copy of the AOL® Client from Macintosh Downloads - AOL Downloads, and save to Desktop.
Good Luck!

  • I get error messages when I try to visit certain websites using Mozilla Firefox but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago I noticed that when I tried to access certain websites using Firefox I always got this error message; "The connection was reset". I initially thought it was a problem with my isp before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and iPad. I then attempted opening the same links that brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.
    Basically the only website that works on my Firefox browser right now is Google but if I do a search on Google and then click on any link that comes up as a result I get the same error message, "The connection was reset". I can also log into my gmail account but I cannot access any other website including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.
    I cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all the browsing history but the problem persisted so I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled it. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a&as=aaq and still nothing. I am not sure what the problem is here but any solution will be much appreciated. I have used Firefox for years now and I am not really comfortable using another browser.
    I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the latest Firefox 32.0.1

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>
    See '''Creating a profile''':

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem <br>

  • We are unable to connect to the content you've requested (message when I try to view a DVD)

    "we are unable to connect to the content you've requested."  I'm trying to view a DVD, but I'm getting this message on both my iMac and my MacBookAir.  There are two DVD's and I'm getting the same message using either DVD on both computers.  I was sent a Flash drive w/ the same video, but I am getting the same message again.  One of the DVD's was a replacement, because I thought it was a DVD problem, but now I think it's a computer problem,  but I have no idea what to do.  It must be a setting, but I know nothing about hardware.  If there is a solutiion, I need a step by step answer that I can print out and follow.

    My apps are updating OK. This may be an iTunes/App Store server issue, but you can try restarting the iPad and see if that helps. You can also try quitting the app store, restart and try again,
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why do I get a 'Bad Request' message when trying to access my Provident Bank website bookmark?

    For some unknown reason, I cannot access my bank account, which is bookmarked. I can access all other bookmarks without incident. The bank says the problem lies with Firefox. This problem just occurred since I upgraded my Firefox.

  • I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • I get this message when I try to sign in -..you have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information.

    I am using Firfox and when I sign in I get the ......message when I try to sign in …..you have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information...........

    I would not trust that on a banking site. If it were just a forum, no problem, but anything unencrypted during banking is suspicious.

    I have a windows 7 64x SP1.
    Every time I install iTunes 12 I get this message when I try to open it:"This copy of iTunes is damaged and it has not been correctly installed. Please, install iTunes again.(-42404)".
    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

  • I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.

    I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.
    The message is : Either there is not default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
    I have checked everywhere on my system and changed Microsoft Outlook as the default mail program but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I am having the same issue, just replied to a different post on the issue.  I am running Acrobat X Pro with Win 7 Pro 64-bit.  This is a new PC, but my last PC was a 32-bit OS and I didn't have this issue.  I was suspecting that it is due to the 64-bit OS. 
    Reading this post though, I am starting to wonder if there isn't something else going on.  When I go to Edit>Preferences, I don't have anything related to email under Categories, or even within any of the categories listed.  I am I missing a plug in or something?  Or is this a component of a previous version of Acrobat?
    I tried to attach a screenshot of the error message but getting a new error while trying to attach!  File is only 25kb!  Will have to live without i guess.
