Banned from a website. Need to use for work. Please help.

I was recently banned from a website. I didn't do anything wrong and they won't tell me why I have been banned. My husband had an account on the website and as soon as they closed my account, they also closed his. We don't know if someone else used out IP address on this site and violated their rules or if we unknowingly violated their rules ourselves; they won't tell us.
The problem is that we need to be able to access this website for our work. We work from home and it's essential. We weren't sure if they had banned us by IP address, so we had a friend create an account. The account is legit and legal. He then gave us the username and password. We accessed the account from our computer at home and the account was almost immediately shut down. The friend was able to straighten things out with the company and get the account set back up, but we cannot use our computer at home to access this site. It's obvious that any access by this IP address will result in ANY account being closed.
We have a PC desktop, a MacBook laptop, and a wireless connection for the laptop (not sure how much info is needed, so I'm trying to be thorough).
I'm not going to ask someone to help me hack a site or anything. And after hours of research, I think we understand enough about proxy servers to use one of those effectively. I also know that I can call my ISP and request an IP address change (which may or may not be honored).
However, I have read other message boards and learned about cookies that websites send to your computer to identify you. I understand that most of those cookies can be cleared out by simply clearing the info from the browsing history (including cache, cookies, etc.) But I also read that they sometimes send files that are buried deeper in the computer. So here's my question...
How can I erase EVERYTHING that this website might have sent to my computer to be able to identify it? I must use the laptop to access the website. I'll work on the IP address issue on my own. But we can't use the desktop to access the site for reasons that are irrelevant and the explanation would be even more long-winded than what I've already typed here. We have to use the laptop. And I need to be ABSOLUTELY certain that the site can't identify the computer. I won't try to use my friend's account again until I'm certain that it won't be closed.
Let me reiterate this for those who are concerned: the friend has give permission for us to use his account, we have done nothing illegal on the website we've been blocked from, nor do we plan to do anything illegal on the website. We have done nothing illegal in any way, and I want LEGAL solutions to this problem. If we are not able to access this website, we will suffer financially in a severe way and are desperate to make sure that we can clear out cookies or whatever other tracking info has been put into the MacBook.
Can someone please help us?

Thank you for the info on onyx. I will try that. I actually took my computer to the Apple store and someone there "cleaned" it out for me.
As for why we can't resolve the issue with the website, we tried to talk to them about it but they just cut us off and said they weren't going to discuss it and that they wouldn't reopen the account.
We have one account as employees and the other accounts (the ones that were closed) were customer accounts. The two departments are separate, and we do not want to bring our account to their attention again and risk them connecting the customer accounts with the employee account and then closing the employee account as well.
We were using the customer account to monitor the employee account. Quality of video and sound, that kind of thing. Nothing fishy there. But since the guy on the phone didn't make the connection that it was our own account we were monitoring, he shut us down. Customers do the same thing to us and basically rip us off for thousands of dollars every week, and the company never gives those customers any trouble about it. So it's unbelievably frustrating. Also, we figured out how to do this by watching the activity of the other employees, since there's no "training" and we all learn from one another by watching. We don't know what would happen if someone there made the connection... whether they would just say "oops" and reopen the customer accounts, or whether they would be irritated about us using the customer accounts in that way and just shut us down completely. We'd rather not find out.
As of now, we're using a friend's account to monitor our video and sound quality. But we're still using the same computer. That's why it needed to be "cleaned."

    Absolutely not true. There is no difference, spec wise, between the iPhone sold in Japan & the GSM iPhone sold everywhere else. iPhones in Japan use UMTS 2100.

  • My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work.  Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

    My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work.  Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

    If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
    I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
    First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
    Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
    Works about 50% of the time.
    It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I need firefox to support a 128 bit encryption for a website I need to use for work. How do I accomplish this?

    www.opm.gov/e-qip/ is a government site that I need to use to fill out a questionaire for employment. It says my web browser does not support a 128 bit encryption which it needs for the site to work properly. How do I increase the encryption bits?

    It is a warning that you can ignore.
    <blockquote>Warning - We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption. If you have trouble connecting after you click the "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption.</blockquote>

  • I purchased i phone 5 from usa and now it's not working please help me out

    Due to the craze i have over i phone 5 i purchased it online through e bay, actually i need a cdma phone as its not avaliable in india i have ordered it online and i got it in june from then my problems started i am not able to use it, I contacted the seller but it's of no use, I contacted the sprint network people today and they said the phone is active and asked me to consult apple india so please help me sir doing me the favor,really out of my innocence i have purchased it.

    There is no CDMA network in India - it does not exist and is only in the US which is what the Sprint and Verizon phones are. 
    If you purchased a CDMA US phone, then it is very unlikley that it will ever work in India.  It definitely won't work on CDMA network as they don't exist in India - end of.
    Not sure if the CDMA iPhone 5 has a sim card tray - if so, then insert an Indian sim card into it and you then should be able to use the phone with an Indian carrier.  CDMA iPhone 5's should have sim card trays that are unlocked.  If so, the phone should work in India, but other than that, you may be saddled with a phone that you can't use.
    If you purchased it on e-bay, then it is buyer beware and go and file a claim with E-Bay for misselling and return the phone.
    Other than that, this is a public user forum and Apple will not here you here.
    You need to contact Apple directly.

  • I am trying to find "compatibility view settings" in order to add a website that I need to use for work. PLEASE HELP!

    I received a "how to" sheet of how to be able to view this website but it wants me to download Internet Explorer (excuse me while i say yuck!)...
    So the directions state: Under "Tools" click on "compatibility view settings". Where is says "add this website" write in the website and then click add and close. Log off and reboot.
    I live on Mozilla on all my devices. I recommend it to anyone who has not been introduced yet. I cringe to think of being forced to use internet explorer!!!
    Thank you for all you do!!!

    hello ETRU, "compatibility view" is a concept of internet explorer that other browsers do not have. do you have any particular problem viewing it with firefox?

  • Can't install a font I need for work - please help! 10.4 ={

    Hello,
    So I am trying to install this font on my work computer, which is old and has os x 10.4.11 (tiger?). I have downloaded the TTF file onto the desktop. When I double click to install it, it says I need to choose an application and none of them I tried will work. I have a brand new macbook myself and downloaded the same font - worked fine because I could put it right into font book.
    The problem here is that I cannot find font book anywhere on this computer and have not found any helpful discussions on how to re-install it or about different ways to get this font downloaded and usable. I have tried everything I can think of. I would just make these damned brochures on my own computer, but then they won't convert to this one.
    Anyways, super frustrated - any advice/places to get font book/or something else I could use would really help. I don't even care if it's a round-about way of doing it, I just NEED this font!!
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Is the font compatible w/Tiger?
    The Font Book is inside the Applications folder.  If it is not there, use Spotlight to search for it.  If Spotlight cannot find it, you can custom install Font Book directly from the system DVD that originally came w/your MBP. Use the custom install option.  It should be inside the Bundled Software folder.  If not, there, it will be inside the Applications folder. 

  • When I open fire fox and try to go into another web site, it tells me that it was unable to connect. I have internet connection and can get into safari because I have a macbook but also need to use firefox. Please help.

    I have a macbook laptop. When I go to open firefox it opens but when I try to get into a website such as www.yahoo or any other, a menu pops up and says it is unable to connect to the server check your internet connection or if u have fire wall check to see if it is set for firefox to connect. I have never had this problem before. All of a sudden it does not want to work and I need firefox to work.

  • Cannot connect to internet on ipad mini need to use 'other network' please help

    cannot connect to internet need another network as haven't password

    The Other Network option is so you can connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot that might have its name hidden.  Other Network gives you the oppertunity to type the name of the hidden Wi-Fi hotspot so the iPad can see it.
    If you are looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot to join, but can not because you do not have the password to join that network, you will need to ask the hotspot's owner for permission and a password before you can join.
    If you have internet in your house and you want to connect your iPad Mini to the internet, you will need a wireless router or access point.  Ask your internet provider, they may already have that available for you and it would be a quick setup for them. 
    Good luck,
    UG

  • My 7th gen ipod nano wil not show up on my laptop when I plug it in and neither will my brothers new ipad,they don't come up in my computher either and I've installed the new itunes twice but still no change,I really need to get this working,Please help

    I need help

    Thanks for a reply
    The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
    I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
    I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

  • I upgraded to iOS 8 from 7 but the dictionary is not working. please help.

    the moment I upgraded to iOS 8 I cannot refer to dictionary.  no word found error is coming. this is happening. in iPad mini retina, cellullar and wifi model.

    Just want to say that my 1st gen iPad Air is having the same problem. I get word not found error when I use my dictionary. There's an option to install dictionary. Have you tried that? I'd like to add that if you successfully add a dictionary, don't be surprised if the installed dictionary is missing sometime in the future. That's what happens to my iPad and a friend's iPhone 6 Plus. Our devices keep forgetting US English dictionary that we've installed. We both run iOS 8 (mine is 8.1.2 and my friend's is iOS 8.1.3).

    You can find authorized Apple dealers in Abu Dhabi by clicking here. They can answer purchase questions and most can handle warranty service.
    By the way, this forum is for questions about the iPod touch, not the iPad. If you have questions specific to the iPad, it would be best to ask them in the iPad forum.

  • How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
    Good luck
