Can't access Facebook on ANY network after McAfee Web Gateway error

My office apparently uses McAfee Web Gateway to filter URLs on company Wi-Fi.  I was unaware.  So when attempting to connect to Facebook, I get a page loaded that tells me the URL is blocked (This is both through Safari and using the Facebook app).  No big deal - there is public Wi-Fi also, which I had been using, but it is slow.  But since that time, regardless of the network I connect to, I get the same error.  I am looking for a way to find and delete the data that is causing this filter to remain active.  Hopefully I can do this without having to do a restore of my device.  BTW, Pinterest behaves the same way (seems it made the filter list). Other Apps seem to have access without issues.  I can connect to both Facebook and Pinterest using cell service - so this is only a WiFi issue.

This has to do with your company and its regulations on wifi access. You can go into Safari and delete cookies and history. Otherwise, you may have to reset Network settings. That is found in Settings, General, Reset. This will reset all of your wifi settings and will require you to reenter all passwords. You have found what can happen when companies that provide wifi can control it. Generally their public wifi that you mention has reduced bandwith and thus slows down. I've seen this in a number of areas.

  • After loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    after loading yosemite can't get permissions from any network PC - OK from MACs on network...any advice?

    would love to...way over my head so far...upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 - I have another MAC (motorola chipset...maybe 10.6?) and 3 PCs on the network...the older MAC linked up through the network just fine...
    I can see the Yosemite MAC on the PCs...I can open customer file folders (I am a printer) from the shared drive...I can drag files (let's just call them PDFs, they mostly are) to the MAC customer file...but if I try to open them from the PC I get an error message that says permission denied - or may be in use by another user. There are no other users. After I uploaded to Yosemite, I noticed most if not all drives and or folders had permissions changed to either no access or to read only...I've changed as many as I could find...drives, and folders...I can open those same files if I'm on the yosemite mac...Here's the catch, though...I was on a different floor and that PC can open a PDF on the Yosemite...but the RIP that prints our large format prints now won't print those files (whole RIP locks up) unless they are first dragged to the PC desktop...then all is fine. I thought it was MAC upgrade oriented, but I do have a PC that halfway works...I'm really stymied...

  • HT1414 I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone.

    I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • Can't access Facebook after IOS 7.1.1. Update

    I can't access Facebook on my Ipad via Safari after the 7.1.1. IOS update. I only get a blank page. I can access Facebook via a FB app, so it's not Facebook. I have restarted the Ipad ,cleared cookies and  the history to no avail.  What is wrong? This has never happened before.

    Google has gotten more security conscience.  Do you want others to read your email?  VPN is a good thing.
    When you try to access google without the vpn on, do you get an email from google saying that they have rejected your connection attempt from a client.   There is a google parameter to allow email from an unsecure client.  Google will send you an email telling you how to make the change, when they reject your email client.  It's a hidden parameter.
    A lot of folks have gotten hacked recently in the US, so companies are implementing more security.

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How come I can't access Facebook with my gmail account?

    Along with a couple other sites, I can't access Facebook with my gmail account. I'm on a mac, and even if I use different browsers (safari and google chrome), the page never opens. It consistently says "the connection was interrupted." I've tried everything, including allowing all cookies, deleting cookies, changing firewall settings, etc. However, it's not a problem on my Parallels (on the same computer). The weird thing is my friends with hotmail or yahoo facebook accounts can access the site. Help!

    There's a search box in the upper right corner of Bridge. Just type in the keyword and it should show up in the Content Panel.

  • HT201260 Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

    You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller.
