Can't access Yahoo and Google websites (such as gmail)? RESOLVED.

I had trouble with this for awhile. All of a sudden none of my browsers would go on any google site or yahoo. Adding some DNS servers to my airport preferences allowed me to access google, but still not gmail. I recently had a software update too which may have had something to do with it. FINALLY, after searching the web for awhile, I got a helpful tip that "PeerGuardian" may be the issue. After uninstalling it, I was able to access all the google and yahoo sites again.
Hope this helps!

I am having the same issue with my iMac. Recently I have not been able to access google or yahoo and a few other sites. My pc laptop is able to access all sites fine. I noticed the problem right after I ran "Peer Guardian" also. I will uninstall the software tonight and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip!!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After Mountain Lion update, i can't access Facebook and Hotmail websites

    When I was with the OSX Lion, everything was fine.
    After Mountain Lion update, i can't open Facebook and Hotmail websites.
    I already reinstalled the Mountain Lion, but the error still happens. The only way to open these websites is with the private navigation.
    Please, help me.

    From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferernces then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If you still have problems with Facebook, go to the Facebook page then click the downward facing arrow to the right of Home then click Account Settings.
    Select Security on the left then click Secure Browsing.
    Select the box next to: Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possiblle then click Save Changes.

  • Can't access youtube and google docs.

    I can't access some websites, like youtube (I can only see a page with text and links) and google docs (firefox stops downloading like everything is correct, but nothing happens). Allready fully uninstalled (as far as I know, forgot bookmarks, passwords, etc....) firefox from my OSX 10.6. Installed it again and find the same problems. Other browsers have no problem with these websites. thanks. No errors reported by firefox.

    If it works through the Ethernet port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) it probably has nothing to do with the AEBS. There must be something about the configuration of the computer connecting wirelessly.

  • Websites like yahoo and google taking incredibly long to load

    Websites like yahoo and google taking incredibly long to load.

    Hi r_saha,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that when using Safari some specific websites are slow to load. There could be a couple of different steps I would suggest to help you get this resolved. I suggest trig a different DNS service first; the steps can be found in the following article.
    Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3408
    Resolution
    Your DNS server(s) or your router may be affected by DNS prefetching in Safari 5.0.1 or later.
    First, try a different DNS service
    Try a different DNS service, such as one of the DNS services below. This will test to see if the root cause of your issue lies with your selected DNS servers.
    OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)
    Google DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/)
    Or, search the Internet for "Third-party DNS services" for more options and information
    For information about how to change DNS settings in Mac OS X, see Editing DNS and search domain settings.
    If the issue persists in Safari, return to your original DNS server settings if desired, then continue with the next section.
    I hope this helps,

  • Just upgraded and now can't access Yahoo IM. What an I do?

    I just upgraded to the newest version of Mozilla and now I can't access Yahoo IM from my Yahoo mail page. I can open and close IM, but when I click on a contact to chat, nothing happens. I get no messenger window to type in and when people send me an IM, I have no window to reply. Help!

    Hi icsailor,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please,

    After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.

    Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.
    Mac OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 Combo update
    Run software update, starting with the one above.
    Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP

    I keep receiving Yahoo and Google results and other information in German. How can I change to English to get ONLY English?

    Really, I thought you were the app support?  the fix was to turn the phone off and back on and it went to english!  But thanks, you made me look a little harder at the situation, but this doesn't work all that well.  My android was MUCH better for texting.

  • Can't access suggestions in Google toolbar dropdown since upgrading to F4.Suggestions appear but when I click on one nothing happens.

    Can't access suggestions in Google toolbar dropdown since upgrading to F4.Suggestions appear but when I click on one nothing happens - it just returns to what I've typed already.
    eg If I type the word 'honey' a number of suggestions appear. One is 'honey crackles'. If I click on that I'm back to 'honey' again

  • Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

    Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
    Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
    It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
    tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
    No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

    I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
    As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
    As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
    Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
    Thanks

  • Mozilla shows NOT RESPONDING until it loads the pages completely, for FACEBOOK and checking EMAILS on yahoo and google

    Mozilla shows NOT RESPONDING until it loads the pages completely, for FACEBOOK and checking EMAILS on yahoo and google.
    You can't do anything, you should just wait.

    I'm getting a similar error over here. Sporadically some sites won't load specifically in Safari; they open just fine in Opera, Firefox and Camino though. This is really annoying.
    It's pretty clear it's nothing network related…
