Can't access one website after safari update

After the Safari 5.1.4 update, I'm unable to access one particular site, the one that used to be my homepage. Trying to access it causes the browser and OS to freeze up for several minutes. Can't force quit or close. I'm able to access my other 'regular' sites. Thought?

Hi ...
Try emptying the cache and do a reset.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Quit then relaunch Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences - General and make sure the homepage url is correct.
If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
According to your profile you have Lion v10.7 installed.
Disabling the Lion resume feature can help with Safari...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Restart your Mac.

Can't access several websites after last security update

Hello,
After upgrading both my Macbook Air mid 2011 and iMac 2008 (with SSD) both running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to the last security fix, I can't access from any of those two computers a variety of websites, for example:
www.opennicproject.org
www.gentoo-el.org
www.adslgr.com
These are only three. Almost half of Google's results are blocked. Using the terminal utility I am able to resolv some of them but not actually 'ping' them. I get no ping replies. I can access all these websites from other computers or devices (iPhone/iPad/Ubuntu desktop/WindowsXP laptop) on the same LAN. This problem exists only in the 2 macs which are up-to-date. I am sure that this problem is related to latest security update I did a couple of days ago, to both computers.
I'd like to know if anyone who have all patches installed up to the latest OSX version (mountain lion 10.8.4) has the same issues and can ping/resolv/access these websites.
Note that although I can't access these websites directly using any direct network connection, I can access them using TOR browser bundle for mac, which means that something is going on at a computer level.
I have checked so far:
- Applicationn Apple's firewall is not creating the problem (disabled/enabled all)
- ipfw/PF is not running with any ruleset
- LittleSnitch blocks just a couple of annoying outgoing connections. Nothing there (I disabled/enabeld it, same thing).
- Other computers access the websites/ping them/etc.
- I can access websites using TOR.
NOTE: It's not just 3 websites, it's something like 1 out of 3 DuckDuckGo links.
Ideas and thoughts are welcomed!
Best Regards,
PA

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Can't access my website through safari through linksys modem

I've just spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could make work is Internet Explorer. But I mainly work on a Mac, which doesn't have IE and I'd much rather work with safari.
Here's the problem.
I have a bunch of websites all hosted under the same shared hosting account. At first I could access them while wirelessly connected to linksys router. Then the connection got very slow and eventually, I couldn't access my websites anymore. I could access all other website. In fact, I'm connected wirelessly and I can reach that forum, but I can't access my websites in that hosting account.
EVERYONE ELSE can access my websites though. And I can go anywhere else which has wireless connection and I can access my websites. So they're up.
I can also connect my computer directly to the modem and access my websites. It's only when I'm connected to the linksys wireless router that I can't.
So the idea was the problem is with linksys. I spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could do is make it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?

Hi Rick,
It's not a mac problem. I am able to access my router i.p address with safari.
The problem that I have is with the Mac AND my PC. They both cannot access my WEBSITES that are all located in one hosting account using Safari. For example, I can't access www.bullseye-promotions.com using safari or Firefox.
*What I need to figure out:*
it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?
*A better explanation of the problem:*
HERE IS THE CONFUSING PART... I can access my websites through a linksys wireless router outside my home. The problem occurs only in my home. I bought a new linksys router but the same problem remains.
Even when I hardwired through the linksys, I still can't access my websites that are hosted in that particular shared hosting account, except with I.E.
sometime I gain temporary access but then I loose it again. I think the linksys support guy told me it's about linksys giving the right public I.P address, or something like that.

Can't access adobe website using safari 7

I can't access adobe.com on my late 2008 MacBook running Mavericks OS X. Every time I try to access the website it says that Safari "can't connect to the server adobe.com"
I've tried resetting Safari and restarting my computer. I have Adobe Lightroom 3 installed on my computer.
Any help would be appreciated!

You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 10 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Can't access photo library after last update

I have a Macbook Air 13 and am running the most current Maverick (10.9.5) before Yosemite was released.
I take all updates as they arrive and are listed by AppStore.
After the last iPhoto update that came about the time Yosemite arrived I can no longer access my photo Library.
When opening iPhoto it give me a choice to upgrade my library or quit. So I tried to upgrade and after about 30 seconds iPhoto simply goes away.
I am traveling and can not do the large Yosemite upgrade, in case that is the issue, but need access to my photos.
When I plug in and sync my iPhone5S (which is running the latest updates as well) it seems to sync but I have no way to import the photos.
I am guessing this is related to the last update but have no idea what to do in order to recover.
iPhoto 9.6 now show incompatible but I don't recall seeing this earlier.
I am running iTunes 12.0.1 and it can not access the photo settings. It just sits with the busy spinner.

iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't access BBC iplayer after loading update 11th Oct

Loaded update of 11th Oct and since then have been unable to access BBC iplayer

My sister told me not to update iTunes because most likely it will ruin things instead of improving, I didn't listen cause I think Apple must be providing some new features and improvement in the update, that's what an update for, isn't it? However, after this update I am really afraid now to do the next one, who knows what will happen next? I read post that 2 years ago people already had this "access to the iTunes store" problem after iTunes update, and 2 years later Apple still have the same problem in their update, consider a smart company like Apple can't even figure this out, this is unbelievable! For those of you who would like to try reinstalling, be sure to follow the instruction step by step at the link below. Just a reminder, uninstall iTunes only is not going to work cause there are still related files hidden in the computer, so it's necessary to uninstall all the Apple related programs. Hope everyone can fix this annoying problem somehow.

Can't access one website

There is one website which I can't access. Nothing odd about the site -- it's a client website that's full of photos I need to view & download.
I can access the website if I plug directly to my Comcast modem. It appears the AirPort (Extreme 802.11n) is being blocked by this website.
I don't seem to have this problem with any other websites.
How/what do I change on the AirPort so that this website will no block me?
I'm on 10.6.8
Thanks.

SOLVED!!
The website is Portuguese. Here's what conspired:
1) (from me) "Hello, I need some very technical help (I apologize for the English).
I am a graphic designer working on creating marketing materials for ____. I am using your site to collect marvelous photos.
Unfortunately, ________.com has blocked me. I need someone to turn off this block. I am not sure how this is done.
The address that is blocked, is my MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as an ethernet ID.
That number is
00:00:00:00:00:00
Please let me know if you can help me, or if there is someone else I should contact."
2) (from them) "Dear _____,
Thank you for your e-mail.
We already talked with a technician. He needs to know your IP. You can check it on this website - http://www.whatismyip.com"
3) (from me, who didn't think the IP address would help, since the block was only on my Airport) "Thank you. My ip address is 00.00.000.000
The problem may be more specific to one device MAC address, which is 00:00:00:00:00:00"
4) (from them) "Your ban has been lifted. You should be able to access now.
You were automatically blocked on Fri Jul 20 19:08:41 2012 (PT time) because of 15 failed FTP login attempts in a short period of 5 minutes. Please make sure to save your password somewhere safe and don't retry failed attempts. If you misplace your password and can't access, you should contact us instead.
May I also inform you that device MAC addresses can be blocked on local area networks (LAN). On the Internet (WAN, or Wide Area Network), we deal with gateways, which is your public IP."
This all happened so quickly, I was SO impressed!! I don't know how there could have been 15 FTP attempts... unless my browser was stuttering or re-trying repeatedly or something. I was blocked after the first attempt.
But it's fixed. Yay!

Can't access one website... so annoying!

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I was just after some help with a problem I've been having for a month or so now.
I work for a website and for a month now I've not been able to access that one particular website. Every other website is fine. I've tried everything I can think of, flushing/renewing the dns and putting chrome and ie on the exceptions list on windows firewall are two that I can remember doing. I've also restarted in safe mode and the website still doesn't work.
I know several websites are featured on that websites server and I can't access them either. I also know for a fact that the website is running, when speaking to colleagues etc...
I thought it might be something to do with my antivirus (norton 360) but I tried to access that website on my fathers computer and he has AVG, so not sure if it's anything to do with that.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. The only thing I can think of now is it being a fault with the internet? I can't tell you how frustrating it is!!
Thank you in advance

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There can be a few reasons for this problem, some form of local blocking via a security program (in the distant past, a rogue hosts file entry can cause this, and may still affect some people).
One of the easiest checks is to power cycle your router, i.e. disconnect the BB, remove all power including the plug from the wall, wait a few minutes and reconnect. This usually gets a new IP address (before and after can be checked by going to somewhere like http://www.whatismyip.com/). Try the site again.
Sometimes an IP address can somehow become stale, no idea why - but maybe there is some bad router code in the various networks out there and are not able to reconcile the website (even a DNS lookup failure for that stale IP address).

I can not access a website after downloading the new firefox, and I tried changing the proxy settings and it isnt working. How do i re-downlaod the old firefox?

I am trying to access course compass. It is a school website and is only compatible with firefox 3. I upgraded to firefox 4 and now i cant access the website. I have tried to change the proxy settings but that didn't work. I tried to download an older version of firefox and firefox wouldn't let me. I just need to access this website.

hello rotary, please see [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Firefox/IE/Chrome can't access one website from several computers

There is one website I cannot get onto from several computers if I try using Firefox / Ie or Chrome. All computers can access the site using AOL browser (and we connect to the internet through a router and AOL is our ISP). I can also access it via iphone and I know that there is no problem with the actual site.
Actually we cannot access any site that we know of on that particular server - it is as though it has blocked access from our ip address but only when Firefox/Moxzilla or Chrome. But none of our computers have problems elsewhere on the internet it seems to be just that one (server/website).
This started suddenly this a few days ago and is driving me mad.
I have checked that Norton Firewall settings and all are allowed to access the internet and the ip address or sites aren't blocked.
Our settings on AOL/IE/Firefox for accessing the internet all say auto-detect proxy setting.
I have asked the owner of the server to check at their end that we aren't on a blocked list - we aren't.
I am not sure what to do next - any ideas welcome.

This is the first time I have used this forum and I did put in the web address actually - I don't know why it didn't show. It is www.chardswimming.org.uk.
I posted it in Firefox because that is the browser that I mostly use and normally find it to be great without problems - I am not necessarily saying it is a firefox problem and I actually thought someone would try and be helpful rather than try and pass the buck like people from other software companies would.

Can not access one website

I am using Comcast's ARRIS Model TG1682G modem/router. I can access a website using my computer from other locations but not from home either driectly wired or using WIFI. I get the message:"This Page Not Available". ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCHA secure connection cannot be established because this site uses an unsupported protocol.Any suggestions? If I ndd to change the IP address, I need to be instructed.

Yes I have tried Exployer, and Firefox. I am currently using Chrome. None has worked from my home. They all work other places. My brother uses Comcast at a different location and he can access the site. Thanks

Cisco e3000 - Can't access ONE website

So I've been dealing with this issue for about a week now. The problem is that I can't access my car club's forums. The URL is http://www.moccforums.com . I've definitely isolated the problem to the router as I can connect if I plug in straight to my modem. I've tried it with multiple browsers and multiple computers. I've reset and reconfigured the router about 6 times already to no avail. Not a single computer in my home network can access this website. I've tried to ping the site with both the URL and its actual IP address and nothing has worked. Ping attempts time out as does actually trying to pull up the site on a browser.

Can't access external library after iOS5 update

For years I've kept separate itunes libraries on an external drive without a problem (well, mostly without problems). After updating itunes to work with iOS5 I can no longer access my external library files. All of them are greyed out and I can't choose them. Each collection of library files are located within separate folders ( I have one for music, one for audio books, and one for tv/movies) on the external drive. The data (musice, movies, etc) seem fine. Has Apple changed where the library files need to be located? or is it another issue. The only thing I could think of was to run repair permissions but that didn't change a thing. I really don't want to lose the organization and playlists for over 100GB of files. Please help!

iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Help - can't access one website from my Macs, but I can on my PCs

A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to access at least one specific website on my Mac.
It’s my own domain so I haven’t been banned or blocked.
Everyone else can access the site, so it’s not down.
I can access the site from the PCs in my house, so it’s not an ISP issue.
I cannot access it from FTP, Firefox, Safari, or anything else on my Mac, so it’s not a browser issue.
I can access every other site I’ve tried, so it’s not an internet issue.
I’ve repaired permissions. I’ve rebooted several times.
What gives? Any ideas?
I just tried it on my brother’s computers on the SAME network. His PC could access it but not his Mac. So it appears isolated to Macs on this network.
I'm baffled.
