Can't access certain Google sites (youtube and google-analytics)

I can't access Youtube or goole-analytics in Safari or in Firefox. In Safari, I get an error saying that Safari could not contact the server. Here are more symptoms:
- A ping from Terminal works. The site responds.
- No change when firewall is turned off.
- No change when LittleSnitch is turned off.
- No change when all settings in Safari are reset.
- google.com works fine.
- yahoo.com works fine.
- Other video sites work fine - only youtube is affected.
- Youtube videos linked on other web sites do not work.
- In Safari I get a blank window - no text at all.
- In Firefox I get text but no videos at all - but the page never fully loads.
- Parental controls are off.
- I connect to the internet without proxies - ie. there are no proxy settings.
- I have installed the latested versions of Flash and Shockwave.
I have seen a lot of messages regarding this problem. Does anyone know about the cause ? Some people have noted the problem started with the beta version of Safari v4. If so, why would that stop Firefox from working ?
It's not a big deal but this is really bugging me. Why would all web acess be lost ?
Thanks
Garry

Great news Garry, thanks!
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
Problems are that many Modems/Routers don't communicate the DNS Servers with macs all that well because they've made mistakes in their Firmware & by golly by gee, they tell MS about the workaround!
Then, many... even major ISPs have DNS problems and may have not even patched them against DNS poisoning!
Those numbers are in the US, and there may or may not be faster ones in your area, but I doubt there'll be and better more reliable ones!

HT5570 I had to change my apple ID and now I can't access certain features on my phone because I dont remember the old ID password, how do I get my phone to recognize the new ID and password

I had to change my apple ID and now I can't access certain features on my phone because I dont remember the old ID password, how do I get my phone to recognize the new ID and password

What features do you need to change the ID for?

I can't access most .mil sites pretty sure I just need it to let me add the security exception but it doesn't give me the option anymore.

Ever since I got the last two updates for Firefox I can't access most .mil sites like ako or even the us army library Europe site. These sites use to come up as untrusted sites that I just accepted and continued life. However now it goes straight to server not found page. I know the site links and bookmarks are good because they are what I used to use. I've read some of the other help situations that are similar and I can see some of the old certificates in the advanced options up nothing I've done in there had changed anything.

To try to distinguish between a change in Firefox and a problem in your settings, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Be careful not to delete anything in this dialog.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Sept9, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Do the sites work any differently?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

"Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and onlin...

I've been trying to login to the BT Sport app and keep getting told that I haven't activated it yet. I'm shown an activate button and when I press it I'm taken to a site where I have to log in using my My BT credentials. Upon logging in I'm shown the following message:
"Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and online content because a BT ID created by Stephen is the account holder."
The message is completely nonsensical as I the account holder and I've logged in with valid credentials. I tried calling the helpline and am still waiting for someone to call me back, even though I called them two hours ago. What awful service.

Hi W0035521,
Welcome to the community forum. Do you have more than 1 BT ID? It sounds like you have another ID that has been set up with account holder status. I can take a look at this for you. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.
Thanks

Can't access some secure sites through proxy?

can't access some secure sites through proxy server on osx it just keeps going local authority couldn't be contacted, i had the same problem with parental controls, but now that is off and its still doing it, is there a setting or something i need to enable?

In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?

Can't access my banking site past the identification page,

Can't access my banking site past the identification page. I was getting a message in Firefox, that said "your security settings have changed.... (no they have not), and something about "resetting, Yes or No. I pressed yes, but still could not get in. I pressed NO, and the message has gone, but still can't access the bank. I can access through "Explorer, but not Firefox.

Nevermind, I figured it out myself

Daniel or anyone else, Help on why I can't access certain jsp pages

I have installed the Web Service Portlet Wizard to build my portlets. In particular,
I have created a URL porlet jsp which receives its content from a URL.
This URL that I retrive is an application that I have running on my Weblogic 6.1
Server. I can access the login page, and can logon and do a few things but for
some reason I Can't access certain pages. The pages I can't access are also jsp
pages on the wlserver6.1 server(exactly the same as other ones I can access and
interact with).
The error I receive on the Portal Front end is attached in a word doc. I have
also included in there, a snapshot of the access log for those pages, but I can't
really make out what it is telling me (if anything!).
For one of the pages, that I can't successfully access I get java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
This only happens with 1 of the pages. But trying to access the same page withouth
going thru the portal I get NO errors what so ever.
Please if anyone can give me any information on why I can't access certain pages
via my portal It would be very helpful.
Finally I have included the code of my Portlet which accesses the URL. This is
also included in the word doc.
Thanks
Ramy
[Portal.doc]

Ramy,
I don't know the Web Service Portlet Wizard too well, but I notice that
login.htm never seems to be found (404 in logs). I would think that the two
warnings below your JSP call (cookies, and portlet state) are your most
likely culprits. If the Web Service Portlet Wizard does not handle cookies
then the portal server will have to continiously reauthenticate. I will
forward your email however and see if I can dig up a better diagnosis. Also,
could you post the stack trace for the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException you
are seeing.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Can only access certain man pages with sudo

I can only access certain man pages with sudo. They aren't accessible as either root or normal user. I can't be a 100% sure but it would appear that the man pages I have problems with are those located in /usr/share/man. I can't see any differences in file or directory permissions with those located in /usr/man. Anyone else having this problem. Or have I commited another noobish mistake.
man pacman is an example.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

the filesystem and bash packages need to be updated after the pacman 3.1 release
if you want immediate results add
UNSET MANPATH to your .bashrc

CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent old site that requires work upon it

Dreamweaver CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent web site created within it a while back that requires work upon it. CS4 not open/launch itself either? Therefore can't even export a site file to open up in a newer version but that won't run, support vital menu editing within it.

Try clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
If those don't work, you may need to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool. That won't affect your actual site files, but you would need to set-up the site definitions again within DW: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Can only access one web site

I can only access one web site . www.cisco.com. I am connected to the internet via a lynksys DSL Router, I am using dhcp and NAT from the Lynksys note:works fine for 3 other windows based pc's.
when I try to connect to any other site the page Hangs during load and neve displays.
I can ping all of the web sites that do not come up
I am using a SunBlade 100 and did a new install. I tried the install with webstart and had the same result during the install. again I can only open sucessfully www.cisco.com.

Hello!
I am getting this error, but the above fix does not solve the issue, however I do know what has caused it.
I have an edmx file in a WCF webservice which feeds a silverlight app. The edmx is quite complex and a bit fragile, but was working fine up until I introduced our Industry Codes view into the model. The view is basically { ID, ParentID, Name, ... }. In my model I have created an association to itself which describes Children(*)/Parent(0/1) so I have a nice and tidy hierarchical structure. The edmx and the service build without any errors - hurrah! However, when I update the service reference I then get the below error (and a whole load of others as none of the webservice objects exist anymore):
Error 21 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'WCF_ContactAdmin'. Please check other error and warning messages for details. X:\2008-054 ContactAdmin_Silverlight\Contact2_Admin_Silverlight\Service References\WCF_ContactAdmin\Reference.svcmap 1 1 Contact2_Admin_Silverlight
When I try the fix mentioned in the link above this error disappears, but then so do all the objects in the datamodel, so I cannot continue from there.
Having the hierarchical data objects defined in the EDM will make like so much easier in future, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Leopard on a Digital Audio G4 - can't access certain sites

Specs:
Digital Audio PowerMac G4
1.5GB RAM
1.7GHz G4 Sonnet Encore/ST; previously 733MHz stock G4
Leopard (10.5.8)
Network is controlled by a router running DD-WRT v24-SP2.
I am having a horrendous time trying to get this specific Mac to access certain websites - namely, anything to do with Google or Yahoo. I can't get to YouTube, I can't get to ANY Google site (including non-US domains), I can't get to Yahoo (or any of its services, like Flickr, del.icio.us, Zimbra, etc...)...obviously, this is getting a tad frustrating. I've been relegated to searching with Microsoft Bing for the time being...oh, the irony...
At any rate, I've tried flushing the DNS cache (dnscacheutil -flushcache), flushing the routing tables (route -n flush, route -v flush), assigning a new IP on my LAN, using other DNS servers (OpenDNS and Verizon), putting the machine in the router's DMZ, and sacrificing a kitten to the flying spaghetti monster.
None of these things have worked. I cannot figure out for the life of me what the problem is. It's not a DNS issue - I can ping google.com and it resolves it to an IP...of course, pinging fails since I can't actually connect to it. I've also tried connecting to other known good IPs for google.com.
I don't see this problem on any of my other Macs running OS 9, Tiger, and Leopard. I don't see it on any of my machines running Windows (XP Pro, Vista Ultimate, Server 2003). I don't see it on my iPhone or my boyfriend's iPhone. I only see it on this one machine, and it used to not be a problem. I'm going nuts trying to figure out what happened.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nope. In fact, here's a comprehensive list of what I've tried:
using other DNS servers
flushing the DNS cache
flushing the routing tables
removing the ethernet interface and re-adding it
creating a new location in the networking preferences pane
installing an Airport card and using that instead of ethernet to connect to the network
setting up a static DHCP IP on my router (using MAC registration), releasing the old IP, and picking up a new one
putting the machine in the router's DMZ
trying tracert or ping to get to external domains and IPs
clearing out /tmp in case some temporary file(s) were causing a problem
setting up a new user account and logging in with it
There is something low-level in the system that's causing this problem. Trouble is, I have no clue what it could be. I'm right now downloading the combo updater in the total off chance that it will replace whatever corrupt file is breaking my Internet connection.

Can't access certain Google sites (youtube and google-analytics)
