Can't access several sites from Windows XP. What should I do?

Can't access Wikipedia and other sites. Mostly when I click on links from facebook and twitter. And can't access wiki at all. Tried restarting the pc, uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting firefox. Nothing works.

Hi all,
I was getting messages that my Aperture Library was full, so made an appointment at my closest Mac store, but have to wait 2 days. They advise you to update saoftware before coming in, so I updated to Aperture 5.3.1. When I open it, I'm asked to update my library. When I select that option, I'm told that my library is full. Now I can't access my library at all. What should I do to access my library? Do I have to uninstall 5.3.1 and reinstall an older version?
Another problem I have recently encountered ... all the up and down scrollers on various screens have disappeared. They reappear fleetingly when I use my up and down arrowa, but I can't always catch them. How do I get my scrollers back?

Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
You are welcome.
My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
o.k.
I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1. That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

Safari Mac can't access web site that Windows can

None of my Macs can access the site http://cards.123greetings.com . I get Can't Find Server messages in both Safari and Firefox. (Clearing caches doesn't help)
cards.123greetings.com is part of a large free card site that did a major upgrade in October. It still renders correctly on a PC running Windows XP Home which runs on the same network as the Macs, so it's not an isp problem.
Since both Macs (G4 iBook running 10.3, MacBook running 10.4) have the same Can't Find Server problem with both Safari and Firefox, it appears that some setting in the Macs themselves is causing this.
Any help or insight would really be appreciated - Thanks!

A big Thank You to Mulder for letting me know that you can access the site (with Mac Safari I presume) - That's good news.
The bad news: I still can't access the site.
The problem affects two separate computers and four browers. Taking your advice, I repaired permissions and logged in as a new account on both machines. Unfortunately that didn't work.
I next tried accessing the site on the MacBook through Parallels running Windows XP Home. The site came up fine using Internet Explorer.
Then I realized that Parallels operates with a different ip address. So I went back on the Mac using a proxy, and the site came right up.
It now seems that the ip addresses of both computers are being blocked at some level. I want to thank Mulder for replying and virtually ruling out that it might be a Safari issue. I'm now "off topic" and will no longer post in this section. But I'm also over my head... If anyone has advice about how to proceed now, I'd truly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Can't access secure sites from safari

I'm writing this message from my PC at home because I could not access the message board on my mac at work. At any rate, I noticed Sunday that I could not access any secure web sites from my mac (hotmail, aol, etc.) It worked fine a couple of weeks ago before I went on vacation. We had a 2 1/2 day work week last week because of Thanksgiving, so I didn't notice the problem until this past Sunday. I'm not sure when I installed the latest update, but I know that I did install all of them.
I've searched the forums for information about these symptoms, and have found several similar ones, but none of their solutions have worked for me. It was hard to go back and reference the formus due to having to restart my comptuer numerous times as directed, and because of the similarity of the search strings used to find the particular topic to begin with.
I saw several solutions involving the emptying of caches, cookies, and the like. I saw another relating to an iTunes issue of not being able to access the online store. Yes, I tried that as well and am not able to access the store on my mac. The situation is not resolved by using Firefox either. Basically, I'm shut out of anything that I have to "Login" to. Any suggestions?
iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I've been having a similar problem on my home Mac for a couple weeks. I am not having this problem with my home PC, and the two computers share a router. Even weirder, my husband uses this laptop and he is not having the same problems. Just my userID (the admin one) is afflicted.
Safari and iTunes are still intractable. The iChat problem cleared while I was working on the others.
I switched to Firefox and can now log in to secure connections with it. I had to make Firefox the default browser and knock Safari out of the dock before it worked.
Here are the error messages:
From Safari, from which I get a similar message whenever I try to log in to any secure connection:
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/1158/wa/authenticate?cty=US&aff=consu mer&rid=SKV2Bp4pL79FcdhJ&lang=en” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mac.com”.
From iTunes when I try to play any of my purchases, change my password:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The requested keychain was invalid. Open Keychain Access and run Keychain First Aid, then try again."
Needless to say, nothing I've been able to both find and understand has helped. Apple support has not been any use.
Help.

Can't access Network share from Windows 8 computer

I have a clean install of Windows 8 x64 running in a workgroup environment. I can access multiple computer/NAS shares except one share off a partifular NAS. This share is accessible from other computers and the other shares on the NAS are accessible from
this Windows 8 computer. I have cheked the credentials and they are fine, added them under the credential manager, tried to map a drive and selected use other credentials etc but it continually says "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName\ShareName"
you do not have permission. I have permission and nothing is wrong with the permissions or the server. This is driving me crazy if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried:
1. Mapping drive with ip address e.g. \\ip address\sharename
2. disabled ipv6, made sure netbios enabled, made sure client for ms networks enabled.
3. Setup a new account on server, doesn't work either.
4. All sharing options enabled. I even modified the permissions on the share for "everyone" full access and it still didn't work.
Has to be something with this windows 8 machine.

Can't access google site from my 10.4 power pc today. What happened?

Yesterday I ran updates and now my google site won't open on the computer.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If that doesn't fix it...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Can't access my iMac from a Windows 98 PC

When I was prompted for password on the PC running Win 98, I simply clicked "OK" as I had not set any user password on my iMac. However, I got the "wrong password" message and therefore failed to access my iMac from that PC.
On the PC, I could ping the iMac without problems. I can also access the PC from my iMac. I have the username on the PC that is exactly the same as the one I have enable "Windows Sharing".
Any clues on this?

Thanks James.
I tried but without luck. The issue is, it prompts me for password and whatever I input, it says wrong password. In fact, I do not have any password set on my iMac and therefore I should be let through if I simply click the "OK" button on the password dialog without putting anything in the password field.

Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
Peter

Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Can't access some sites when using Aiport Express, why?

I'm using Windows 7 and my router is a wireless Apple Airport Express that is approximately two years old. Suddenly I can't access some sites (for example www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se, or www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk, some streamed tv-shows on svtplay.se, and a number of other random sites) when connecting to internet with my router. It worked good until recently and I'm fairly sure this problem emerged when my ISP upgraded from 10/10mbit to 100/10mbit speed. Most other sites like facebook and google works fine.
When using my network cable to connect to internet everything works fine and I can access these sites.
Firmware is current and I've tried reseting the router to factory defaults.
Tried different browsers, and I can't ping the "blocked" sites either. Tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se starts with 10.0.0.1 and continues through a number of long addresses until it says timeout. The last working address before timeout was sth-tcy-ipcore01-ge-0-2-0.neq.dgcsystems.net [83.241.252.13], if it matters. Tracert www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk also eventually gives me a timeout.
When the network cable is plugged in, I still get timeout on tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se even though I can access the site in Chrome. Weird. www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk doesn't give me a tracert timeout when the cable is plugged in, and I can access the site as usual.
I've tried changing DNS servers to use opendns servers instead, but to no use.
I've tried pinging these two sites with a lower MTU packet size (with this method: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista- or-windows-7/), but still can't access them through ping...
I don't know what to do anymore.... any suggestions???
Thanks

Hi Punice
first try to disable JavaScript from : Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content panel > '''UNcheck''' Enable JavaScript.
if the above does not help check with a few malware/virus scan programs for virus. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure to update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.
