Blocked from financial websites

Today is my regular day to pay all of my bills, do online banking of various sorts, and make adjustments to my stocks. This is the first time I've used Leopard and Safari 3.0.4 to do this. Before this "upgrade" I NEVER had problems. This morning, at least 4 websites blocked me from doing my business, because of several reasons including, "not secure enough".
I don't mean to sound like a troll, and if you look at my profile, I am not. But does Apple ever test these products?
I don't like using other browsers because I cannot sync my passwords and bookmarks between my four different Macs. But I gave up this morning, and just used Firefox, looking up each password I needed.
If someone has an idea (and I looked a few of them like clearing my cache, cookies, and repairing the Keychain, but nothing worked), please post. I'm just so frustrated with Safari.

Hi,
From the 'not secure enough' message, I have a feeling it's the websites in question rather than Safari that are broken. It sounds like the websites are checking the user agent sent in by the browser to determine what capabilities it has. Since the newer Safari has a new agent string, the websites probably aren't recognising it.
One way to test this is to enable the Debug menu in Safari and change the user agent there to something else, like Internet Explorer. The only difference now is that when Safari sends in the exact same request to the website, the website thinks it originated from Internet Explorer. To enable the Debug menu, type this into a Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
If that does make a difference, notify the banks in question that their code needs updating. If not, please post some example sites where you experience the problem.

  • New problem printing from financial websites - print button sends file to a "cgi" extension and adobe cannot open and print.

    I used to be able to print my bank statements directly from the website to my printer. Now the print program sends the file to a file with a "cgi" extension and saves it on my desktop but as an Adobe file. When i open it to print, Adobe says it is not supported or corrupt. running windows 7 on PC.

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

  • I am being blocked from all websites, almost everyone that I have always used before due to security certificates "being expired" when they really are not!

    all websites, that i have used many, many times are being blocked...I cannot get into almost all websites, all of which I know are safe...ie llbean, directv...

    One possible reason for ''all'' SSL checks to fail is the Windows clock being off from true time. Can you check on that?

  • Blocked from websites??

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, so apologies if it isn't, but I seem to consistently get blocked from various websites...
    I'm connecting through a broadband connection through a belkin router. if I switch the router off and then back on again I can get to the sites in question, but after loading 2 or three pages from the site I once again get 'blocked' and the site times out. I don't have this problem on any other computer/connection and if I cloak my IP address I can get to the sites OK. I do however need 'proper' access to these sites as they contain important accounts of mine so accessing them via a cloaked IP isn't satisfactory.
    It seems as though something in the router is blocking access. Does anyone have any ideas how I can stop this happening? Is there a setting in the router configuration that may be causing this?
    G5 PowerMac Dual 2Ghz. 2.5GB RAM. Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    OK... Some specifics.
    The site I always get blocked from is spreadshirt.net, I also sometimes get blocked from tiscali.co.uk and occasionally the iTunes Store (either via iTunes itself or via my web-browser). If I cloak my IP address then I can access them or if I power-off and then power-on my router I can access them again. Although I can only ever get to a few pages on the spreadshirt.net site before being blocked out again.
    My ISP is plusnet and the router I'm using is a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless-G Router, I don't use the wireless side of it but have it connected via an ethernet cable. The model No of the router is F5D76324.
    Thanks,
    Alan.

  • Blocked From Accessing My Own Website CMS

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can shed some light on an odd problem which arose out of the blue two days ago. I operate two iMacs (new types) on a network, with Leopard 10.5.2. We have ADLS broadband, and network using an Airport Express. I have several websites, one of which has a cpanel and is set up with a CMS on the server - to access this, I need to log in to the administrator using a user name and a password. On Sunday afternoon, while working in the CMS online, my admin session suddenly expired and since then I have not been able to log into my own website to work on it. Oddly, my husband's user name and password is also being blocked. Yet, even more oddly, when I log in using either username and password on my husband's iMac, there is no problem! The message from my website is that the username and password are incorrect. I have to use Firefox to work on my website, so after restarting my Mac, I emptied the cache on Firefox, deleted the passwords in key chain, and when none of this work I deleted my old version of Firefox and downloaded a new version. All to no avail. As my husband's computer is able to access the site, I assume that the Airport isn't the problem, but there is something going awry in my Mac. I have had my webmaster check that my Mac IP isn't being blocked by my website - which I think would exclude my Mac from accessing it - but she says everything is fine at her end. She is also not Mac savvy, so if the problem lies in my Mac she can't help. Can anyone suggest anything???

    Have you tried clearing ALL private data? It's under the tools menu and make sure you check cookies and saved passwords as well. It could quite likely be pulling credentials from a cookie stored on your machine or from a saved password if FF does not use the keychain (I cant remember if it does).
    As an extra troubleshooting test if this doesnt work, you could try either logging into another account, or if none is available create a temporary account to log into and test it from there. This would indicate a preference problem most likely and you could then clear the problem files from your home directory's library.

  • I accidently blocked pics from a website, how do I allow them again?

    I blocked pics from a website and I would like to allow them again. How do I go about this?

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions
    See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Blocked from viewing my own website!

    This morning my website went live via a GoDaddy domain name I'd purchased, my MobileMe account and iweb'08. All was working fine and I was merrily updating the site and publishing the changes. I was viewing my website using the latest versions of Safari and Firefox on my MacBook Pro and also via IE on my dad's PC. After about an hour of work on my site...Firefox and Safari suddenly started directing me to a GoDaddy parking page and not my website. However, I could still view my website on my dad's PC. I've just checked on my Dad's Mac too using Safari and Firefox on there and I can view it fine. So, why has my laptop seemingly been blocked from viewing my own website? Any ideas?

    Hi Tom. Thanks a lot for the reply. I just went to check before posting and both browsers are now letting me view my site from my laptop. Maybe my IP had been blocked because I was viewing the site such a lot this morning whilst tinkering with it. Who know's?! I did also write to godaddy about it.
    If it happens again, I'll be sure to put the url and .me details.

  • I accidentally blocked a javascript from a website and have no clue

    I accidentally blocked a javascript from a website and have no clue how to unblock it.
    "Permission for applet refused
    Please accept the permissions dialog to allow
    the applet to continue the loading process"
    I can't figure out at all what I'm supposed to do.
    Mac OS X 10.6.4
    Safari 5.0.2

    Hi,
    It is showing that Javascript is turned on that screen (Preferences -> Security). It only appears to be turned off, or denied, for a specific website. To be exact, ONLY the single player on-line for MineCraft at http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp. All other javascripts on all other pages for that website and everywhere else runs. Just not on that page. I accidentally told it to deny on that page. I can't figure out how to undo it.

  • Remove Render Blocking From Office 365 Public Facing Website

    Please does anyone know how to solve this?
    Im trying to optimise my office 365 public facing website with search engines such as Google. Google has found a number of errors on all my pages, one being this Remove Render Blocking from Javascript & Optimise CSS Delivery. What does this mean and
    how do i fix this? Must be someone out there that knows surely.
    The notes Google left where: None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following
    resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
    Thanks

    I feel like I'm losing my mind! Here is a  Fortune 500 company web site using Sharepoint public facing: http://www.constellation.com/pages/default.aspx.
    Just vaildated it; it contains 93 errors!! Another has a slow-moving Flash component that cannot be controlled by the user and looks like it was built in 1995 at best: http://www.viacom.com/Pages/default.aspx . It contains 59 errors.
    What is going on here? The combination of "Cloud" computing and mobile devices is destroying web design! We are regressing!

    i received my Ipad today, but why got black color block on the top of Ipad? The look is diference from Apple website!!

    Hi,
    You might have the WiFi + 3G version of the iPad.
    This means you can put a SIM card into the iPad and get the internet where you get mobile coverage.
    Does the black box you mentioned look like this: http://images.apple.com/ipad/specs/images/ipad_3g_20110302.png

  • I accidentally blocked images from a website (facebook) how do i fix it?

    i accidentally blocked images from a website (facebook) how do i fix it?

    With Facebook on display, click on the [[site identity button]] and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].

  • ICloud is blocking emails from my website

    I work for a company that is similar to eBay in that we act as a venue for registered members to sell collectible LEGO items. I work behind the Help Desk and have received many similar complaints from iCloud (@me.com) email addresses. These users continue to complain that they are not receiving email notifications regarding invoices for orders. I called Apple but was on hold for so long, I had to get back to work and gave up.
    What I am wondering is if Apple is blocking emails from our website. I would really appreciate it if an Apple representative could contact me regarding this issue, as it is causing a lot of frustration with our community members. We have had to ask users to sign-up for Gmail accounts to receive correspondence, because we simply cannot come up with another solution. Is it possible that we are blacklisted? We did send out promotional emails over Christmas and I am worried we were blacklisted as SPAM senders. Please help me out here, it's not easy being behind the Help Desk when you are 100% sure the problem is not on your end and you can't do anything about it. Thanks!

  • How do I block a website from being loaded automatically from another website?

    I want to be able to instruct Firefox to block certain web pages/sites from loading. (The particular problem is certain sites which I DO want to view automatically opening other web pages/sites in new Firefox windows.) There ought surely to be a facility in the Options menu or elsewhere to specify particular sites to be blocked from loading, but I can't find one. I'm sure the hated Internet Explorer had such a facility. Where is it in Firefox?

    You can try Adblock Plus:
    * Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1865
    You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).
