Can connect to Internet but can't open any web pages

Hi there helpers, I was on my iMac this morning and everything was fine. I could open any browsers and it could load pages very fast, but after I downloaded and tried to install Xquartz ( recommended by apple) I went on my browser again any tried to open Facebook but it didn't work all it said on the browser was NO DATA RECEIVED. I thought it was only Facebook so I tried google but it wasn't, it was all of the websites. So I'm not sure if I've accidentally downloaded a virus or malware. By the way I use google chrome to do the things above but I did do it again in safari. Thanks

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Can't open any web pages message comes up it times out

    we trying to open any web page say it has times out. Tried different users but all say the same

    Have you looked at what preferences Safari is using?
    Also, did you have an older version?
    Still won't work after restart?
    There is never a good reason to "drop your guard" and disable or have to configure a normally working firewall.
    Chrome - I didn't like where it installed itself in Vista, ~/AppData/Local is NOT a valid location, along with half a dozen other 'features' and behavior. Also, when I uninstalled, why does it need to go to a web page, other than to register my IP address - without asking, and without launching my default (Minefield) and launching IE7.
    So I would try uninstalling Chrome just to rule out incompatibility, and to warn you that it does things that may not be what you expect either.
    Safari for Windows doesn't seem to respect some things that affect if and when a web page is saved to local cache, and can only see a problem if you had Safari working earlier (a common thread, installing Safari over older version it seems).

  • BTFON connects but I can't open any web pages

    I'm away from the address where my home hub is so I've been trying to use BTFON. I can connect fine but I can't open the landing page or any other web pages due to DNS errors.
    I've checked that my DNS settings are set to automatic and it seem to be picking up the correct servers (192.168.22.22 and 192.168.22.23). I also get an IP address starting with 10. I've tried clearing my browsing history and disabling my firewall/anti virus software but still haven't succeeded.
    Anyone got any experience of this sort of issue?

  • My  ipad is connected to the wi-fi but still wont open any web pages. what should I do?

    I need help with using the internet. my ipad is connected to the wi-fi but there's still a problem opening the web page.

    Reboot your router by powering it down for 30 seconds. Power off your iPad.
    Power up your router and make sure it completes its startup and acquires a good connection to the Internet. Then power up your iPad. Go to settings > Wi-Fi then select your Wi-Fi network and tap on Forget this Network. Then let the iPad try to connect again. Be sure any required password is entered correctly.

  • Can't open any web pages

    safari says "safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" its connected to wifi. i did a restore on it and it did nothing.. any ideas?

    The WiFi is working, but the Web connection from your provider is not getting through. Sometimes, they're just down a distinct possibility since Sunday night is the typically time providers go down for maintenance.
    If they're still up then a reset is required to fix it. Unplugging your modem, waiting ten seconds and plugging it back in may do it. This usually works with a cable modem.

    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Firefox 4.0 displays an error code when launching: "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined", add-ons doesn't work and I can't open any web pages

    Hello
    I've been running Firefox 3.6.16 with no problems at all, and this morning decided to upgrade to Firefox 4.0, as the developer of the them I use, Foxscape, has upgraded it to work with 4.0. The installation appeared to be as normal, but when I launched 4.0, the following error message appeared: error "when launching firefox 4.0 TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined". The browser launched, but while I could go to webpages if they were in my bookmarks, so no problems with my internet connection, but when I typed in a URL (for example google.co.uk) and pressed "go", nothing happened. Similarly, when I tried to go to add-ons, it was as if I hadn't clicked anything. I wondered whether it was an issue with Foxscape (although I've never had any problems before when upgrading, as the standard theme just appears) so I reverted to 3.6.16, switched the theme to standard, then tried upgrading to 4.0 again. The same thing happened, so I'm positive it's got nothing to do with Foxscape.
    I run Windows Vista Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron. I also have IE 9 installed (I installed it a few weeks ago, and it's been running fine with 3.6.16). I've never had any problems with Firefox before; I'm very keen to upgrade to 4.0, and would appreciate your help in fixing this.
    Thanks

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

  • My iPad connects to my router but does not open any web page or even download my mail. My router works just fine. My iPod touch is having no problems loading pages. If at all my iPad does open a page, it does so very slowly. It happens with all routers.

    It never had any problems before I upgraded to iOS6. Please help!

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

  • When I upgrade to FF 26 on my PC laptop, I am no longer able to open any web pages on any browser. Help

    Whenever I upgrade to FF 26 on my pc laptop I am no longer able to open any web pages on my laptop in any browser. If I reset my system to a previous date I am good to go. Any ideas on what may be going on or how to troubleshoot it? I am not a technical person - btw

    Is this happening on a computer running Windows (you posted with as Mac)?
    If this is an issue on a Windows computer:
    It is possible that security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • My Macbook connects to Internet but won't open webpage

    Thanks in advance for reading this. My Macbook shows various Airport connections but hasn't worked for a while unless it is directly plugged into my modem. I just set up a new modem and connect via Airport. The Airport signal shows that it is strong and connected, but I cannot open a web page. Any ideas? I'm not sure of my operating system--I bought this mac in June and I know I don't have the fancy new one. Thanks so much.

    Your post is confusing. Your airport can show many signals but that doesn't mean you're on any of those networks - which should require entering some sort of password. Where I'm sitting now, my airport icon shows 9 networks of which 7 are locked and I'm on one and haven't tried the other that might be open. You need to join a network, which you can do by selecting that option from the drop down menu - if you know the password. (You can also open the Network system preference.)
    The version of the OS doesn't matter much, though what the airport drop down menu shows will be different from 10.4 to 10.5.
    In other words, it sounds as though you're confusing having a wireless signal with being connected to the wireless network and thus to the internet.

  • Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

    Safari keeps giving  and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
    It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
    Any help would be appreciated

    The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password.  Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls.  Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)?  If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

  • I Just bought a ipad 2 and I can conect to my home wifi but I cant connect to any free hotspots. my ipad shows the network and connection but I can't get any web pages.

    I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

    Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.
