Can't access some sites after doing all suggestions using FF 15 and XP SP3..What to do?

Shut off anti-virus software, including firewall. Tried all settings of
proxy selections; cleared cache, etc...all things advised on this site
and elsewhere. Reset Firefox. Quit Firefox and tried IE. Nadda.
Been trying to access some sites and fix the problem for about a
month, now.
Hell, I can't even access mosilla forums.

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.

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

Can't access some sites on DSL - Westell 37W or Verizon connection issue?

I've been experiencing a problem with Verizon's DSL service for the last few days. I have a brand new Dell Dimension with Windows XP hooked up a Westell 327W router (hard - wired) and other laptops running both Vista and XP. All of a sudden, all the users on the same network can't access certain sites. I initially uninstalled AVG on my computer thinking that may have something to do with blocking these websites (aa.com, orbitz.com), and then I realized that some of the laptops don't have any anti-virus programs and still have the same problem. The only thing in common is that they run on the same network off of the same router. Which is when I called Verizon, only to hear from them that they don't block websites, and that the problem is something related to the computer. When I tried explaining that other users also have the same problem (and it is only within the last 5 days), they still won't accept that something is wrong with the router/DSL connection. I checked the firewall settings for the router and they are turned off. Can someone please help me? Am I wrong in assuming that the problem is on Verizon's side?

I appear to be having the same problem (erratic browser connections) as you guys. I was speaking with a tech support person last night who after having me replace Internet Explorer with Firefox (and still having the same issues) told me that the problem was with my computer. I reside in North Jersey as well. This morning, while riding to work I was speaking with a bus-mate and told him about my internet problem. He lives a few blocks away and told me that he has been experiencing the same thing for about a week and that he knows of another person with the same issue. So it appears to me that it’s some sort of Verizon problem. I tried to recap things and send them an e:mail a little earlier, but I think it fell on deaf eyes. I will try to call them later this evening and will report back to this forum tomorrow.

Can't access some sites over WIFI (app store and more)

HI,
Not sure really where I can post this, but hoping someone will have a lead as it's very frustrating.
I have a belkin N router, and for some reason over wifi some sites do not work. I cannot access the Appstore on 2 iphones, I get error message that can't connect. the weird thing is that my ipad has never had problems with this and always connects to app store without problems.
I tried resetting my router and disabling security, still doesn't help.
I'm at a lost, any help greatly appreciated.
Latest firmware installed. iPhone 4 and 5 have the probelm as does my MBP which has problems connecting to some sites.

Try resetting Safari, safari under safari menu, empty Chache. Safari preferences>privacy, remove all website data. Also safari prefernces>security>unclick enable Java, leave Java script clikced. You can have corrupted cookies(they will re-create) Hope this helps.

Firefox can not access some sites that use identification system type "captcha." As you enter characters returns error response. With IE it does not.

My desktop using Win 7 Ultimate. On every page that gives error in entering the captcha characters, if you use Internet Explorer I get by with success.

hello edalsi, maybe one of your addons is interfering here - can you try launching firefox in safemode once and see if the problem is occurring there too...

Safari can't access some sites

My husband's work has a website they need to access to get info about the company. We only have my iMac at home, and I think the site is mainly compatible with Internet Explorer, which of course is not available to Macs anymore, or at least I know it doesn't work on mine (won't even open). Is there any way Safari can get a plug in or something to help him access his website? We keep getting the 404 error _file not found , or page not found.
The answer is probably no, which he is really upset about~why should he have to go buy a second computer just to access a work site, but maybe somewhere here has encountered a solution.
Thanks!
Susan

It sounds like this particular website has some issues.
But here's something that is sometimes useful: You can get a Developer's "Debug" menu to appear in Safari, and under this menu is an option to select "User Agent." This allows Safari to present itself as a different browser type -- including MS IE 6.0 for Windows. Of course, Safari is not really IE, and this won't make it act like IE, but if a server is rejecting your requests simply because of the browser it thinks you're using, then this might work.
Here's how to get the Debug menu to show: Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app. At the prompt, type exactly the following...
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
The next time you launch Safari, a Debug menu will appear to the right of the Help menu. If you decide you want to hide this menu in the future, open Terminal and type the same command with a zero at the end instead of a one...
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0
Note: If you change the User Agent, then in order to restore the default of "Automatically Chosen," you must close Safari and reopen it. (For additional information about this feature, see Apple Developer - Safari FAQ.)

Can't download some music after deleting all content and settings reset. Even with Icloud backup.

Hey gusy,
I've reseted All my Content and Settings after my Icloud backup. I wanted to download all my songs back on my phone. I could download most of them, but in some of them it says:This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 63 days." Even though I bought the songs!

Do you have more than one Apple ID? Do you have iTunes match? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204074

Can't access some website after updating to OS 10.7.2

So after I updated my OS to 10.7.2 yesterday, I can't seem to open sites such as: megashare.info, and mytvline.com which are usually for free online stream of videos.
I dunno why.
Can you help me??

Hi Mr shiyawase
I am having a similar problem but i can't find no answer yet..
please see this url..https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3692237

Spybot causes firefox to give errors that it can't access some sites, even though other browsers still can; I reported the error to you before I knew.

Just letting you know I found the problem. I did not see that that fix was already reported anywhere.

Using the Firefox immunize with Spybot can cause problems. It dumps hundreds of block items into the permissions and really slows things down.

Trouble accessing some sites today April 10, 2012

I woke up this morning at 5:30 AM to discover I could not access my FIOS Internet. After about an hour on hold with Verizon Support I realized I could suddenly access some sites, but not all. For example, I can search on Google but cannot access any sites that pop up in the search results. I can access my local news web site, but not CNN. Very odd. This impacts all of my devices, both Ethernet and wireless connected. I am in PA zip code 19006. FIOS TV is working. Anyone else having this problem?

It's not likely a DNS issue since I use OpenDNS servers from my Ubuntu Linux desktop. This has to be a routing issue. I can access Yahoo, Google (and Gmail) and Verizon.com but none of the ads or other links from the searches are accessible. Can't acecess Facebook, Speedtest, Engadget with direct IP addresses.

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 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?

I've used Project Web App on Sharepoint 2013. After clear job queue about force check-in then I've got this error. This made me can't access some pages in PWA anymore e.g. Project center, Resoure center, PWA setting, etc. Who have ever found this problem,
pls. help.
The pop up error msg. is "Sorry, you don't have access to this page"

Hi,
According to your description, after you cleared job queue about force check-in then you can't access some pages in PWA.
Maybe you need to check in the pages which has been checked out.
If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
Site Actions->View All Site Content->Pages->Hover the item you want to check in, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"
Besides, to troubleshooting the error “Sorry, you don't have access to this page”, refer to the following articles:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758656(v=office.15).aspx
In addition, as this issue is related to project server, I suggest you create a new thread on project server, more experts will assist you:
