Can't access Google (all their apps) or Yahoo

I let my little cousin, who is unfamiliar with Macs, use my computer last night, and since then none of the Google sites will work, and neither will Yahoo. And no, it's not Parental settings or anything like that. I use Firefox, but the entire Computer has the problem. Changing users or browsers doesn't help.
My boyfriend tried to help me, ans asked me to ping Google in the terminal. This is what came up:
PING google.com (74.125.53.100): 56 data bytes
No route to host
He then got me to do a traceroute in Terminal, and I got this:
traceroute: Warning: google.com has multiple addresses; using 74.125.53.100
traceroute to google.com (74.125.53.100), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: No route to host
1 traceroute: wrote google.com 40 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No route to host
He then said I should ask you fine people, as we'd reached the limits of his knowledge and were far beyond my own. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks!

By the way, only Google and Yahoo sites are blocked, as far as I've found, and those are the two my cousin told me she was trying to access for a school report. She was able to use other sites, so I am guessing she maybe did something when trying to access those two, but I can't imagine what she could have done that wouldn't be easy to fix. And since she doesn't use a Mac, she won't be able to tell me what she may have done, accidental or not.

  • I can't access google but i can access every other site. I have this problem in all the browsers. Can somebody please help?

    Hi.
    I can't access google in any browser ( Chrome, Explorer,Firefox). It just does not load. But i don't have any problem with any other sites. Actually i could even access google just yesterday.
    I've tried deleting the cookies, installing anti-malware softwares, i cleared the cache, i cleared all the history etc... I basically tried everything that was proposed on previous questions but nothing helps.
    I would really appreciate it if someone could help.
    Thank you.

    Try to access google.com through the below ip.
    1.) http://74.125.225.81
    2.) http://74.125.225.84
    3.) http://74.125.225.82
    4.) http://74.125.225.80
    5.) http://74.125.225.83
    If this resolves your problem, check the DNS settings.

  • Can't access google calendar with parental controls on

    We are trying to give our daughter accesss to the family's Google calendar.  In the parental controls we have "try to limit adult websites" as the selection.  With this on, she is not able to log into the calendar - it gives a message that says something about not being able to establish a secure connection.  She can go on the Google homepage without problem and search, etc. - but she can't access the Google sign-in or the calendar.
    When we change the parental controls setting to "allow all websites" she can log onto the calendar without any problem.
    We also tried adding the various google web address strings under the "customize" tab for "always allow these sites" while still leaving the "try to limit adult websites" as the overall setting.  Even with the specific sites approved - she still can't access the calendar.
    What's up??  Isn't there a way we can allow her to see the calendar without having to give her unecessary exposure to anything on the net?

    So after I made my original post above I continued searching the forums and found the answer below.  It refers to Googla Mail but their solution worked just as well for Google Calendar.  Who knew it would be so simple.  I just went into "always allow these sites" and put in the 1e100.net and it worked like a champ!  The adult sites are still screened out but she can now access Google without any issue.

    Finally!!!!! This solution works! Yea!  There are two scenarios I know of: 1. If you have users for whom under "Parental Controls/Content" you've chosen "Allow access only to these websites" (they can only get to the websites that are bookmarked by you) and if Google Mail was already a bookmark, then just do this: click the plus sign below the list in "Parental Controls/Content/Allow access only to these websites", and choose "Add Bookmark." On the pop-up, name the site "goog" or anything you want; then type in: 1e100.net in the box asking for an address. This will produce a new bookmark (named "goog" or whatever you've chosen), but will in effect just be a dummy or slave bookmark that you'll never use, but it'll allow you to get to your user's google mail sign in page by hitting the old google mail bookmark he or she used to hit. Second scenario (I have both scenarios in my home): if you have users for whom under "Parental Controls/Content" you've chosen "Try to Limit Access to Adult Websites Automatically", click the "Customize" button and then on the top of the pop-up, under "Always Allow These Websites," click the plus button and then add: 1e100.net . Then click OK. This user will now be able to get to his or her google mail sign in page.

  • I can not access Google and Receive error message #97.4cc88f18.1405998904.5166be9

    For the past day, I can not access Google with Firefox/Windows 8.1. I receive this error message-#97.4cc88f18.1405998904.5166be9.
    I do not have this problem with Safari on my IPad.

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], choose History, and then Clear Recent History....
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Can't access Google or Yahoo from one user account

    My son told me that since I upgraded to Yosemite last week he can't access Google. I tried and I also can't access Yahoo and discussions.apple.com (though apple.com works fine), but I can access Bing without an issue. The thing is that everything works fine from my own account and also from my wife's.
    The issue is regardless of browser (tried with Chrome, Safari and Firefox), I restarted the computer several times, checked parental permissions, deleted chrome extensions, flushed the DNS via command center, checked Hosts file, emptied the cache from the browsers and restarted the computer again. Still no difference.
    I tried typing Google IP directly and it worked.
    Any ideas?

    Wondering if you found an answer.  I have yahoo calendar that my admin assistant uses from her computer to put in appointments etc.  I have had Yahoo sync to iCal for quite a while, and it has been working pretty well.  Now I am trying to get the Yahoo calendar to go to icloud. Yahoo is still syncing with my iCal on my macbook, but that is not translating to the icloud calendar.  The only thing that goes from iCal mac to icloud is calendar (under ON MY MAC) - which really has nothing on it.  All of the separate calendars from yahoo show up on the iCal side bar under Yahoo, but I can't figure out how to get them to show up (or transfer) to the icloud calendar.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • "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.

  • Can I still save all my apps, etc in my iphone if I am changing my computer thus downloading and installing new itunes?

    Can I still save all my apps, etc in my iphone if I am changing my computer thus downloading and installing new itunes?

    While this might not be the best method, I have found it best served what I needed when transferring my iphone 4 contacts to my new iphone 5s:
    http://goo.gl/AYrQNN
    First, I don't have a Gmail account, and even if I had, I would not wish to mix my email addresses with my iphone address book by syncing Gmail with my iphone address book. As a result, I used the above method in order to manually export my iphone contacts to my computer and in turn import them to my new iphone.

    i have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
    I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button
