Can't connect to a site - all other sites working fine

Bizarre problem here: I can't connect to one particular site from my iMac. I have a WiFi network, using an Apple Airport Express. I can connect to this same site from my MacBook, connected to the same WiFi network.
Has any one encoutered this same problem before?

Have you tried resetting Safari or clearing the cache (vs a full reset)? The command is in the Safari menu. My wife's PC sometimes has a similar problem with IE occasionally and requires the cache to emptied to fix it.

New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

Hi there
I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

After 7.0.6 upgrade Icloud email "Cannot Connect To Server". All other email works fine.

After upgrade to 7.0.6 both IPad and iPhone now will not send or receive Icloud email while at home. Get "Cannot connect to server " message. All other email accounts (google, verizon) work fine. Plus the "last backup" information unavailable as well as icloud storage information. Says unavailable, try again later. Also cannot view body of emails sent or received in the last 2 days. I am at work now and all works normally. If this is a wifi issue, I I do not understand why all other email accounts are sending receiving ok. It's only the Icloud server that seems to be the problem.

Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

HT1695 My daughter's ipod no longer connects to our Wifi, all other devices are fine, it is just this one...

My daughers ipod can not connect to wifi. ALl other devices in our house do, so I am not sure if this one ahs been dropped too mnay times. All settings are fine, as I manage all the other devices, so I know it is an issue with this ipod.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sharepoint 2010 - Home Page not displaying, all other pages work fine

The web page URL <server>/sitepages/Home.aspx is not displaying when accessed. All other pages work fine. We changed the default welcome page to another page, and that works. When we try to access the Home.aspx, it displays "An unexpected error
occurred" message. The Home.aspx only contains a couple of Lists, with Links, and a calendar. The other odd thing is that the Home.aspx displays in SharePoint designer in Advanced Edit mode, but won't display in a browser. Any ideas?

Hi Isepic,
1) Check the approval of the page (Home.aspx) whether it is in pending state .
2) OR might be some problematic webpart is added in the page. You can try to close it and access. To do that,you can try to access the web part maintenance page of home.aspx and test by closing the webpart one by one.
To access the maintenance page,pass the parameters ?contents=1 after the home.aspx
For example, http://site url/home.aspx?contents=1
3) Also,check the ULS logs after accessing the home.aspx to know what is happening.
Please remember to mark your question as answered & Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem.

Can't connect to AOL website---but other sites are fine

To whom it may concern.....
Im having a really odd problem here that has been plaguing me for the last 6 months, my wife can not get to www.aol.com on one of the following devices, one of 3 laptops (2 win 1 mac), 2 iphones, 1 ipad or a desktop computer. I have tried rebooting the router several times and no luck, ive tired ie firefox, safari, and opera and no browser can get to the web site I even uninstalled any antivirus or firewall software and nothing. Here is the odd thing though with opera when I turn the "turbo" mode feature for slow internet connection, I can actually get to aol.com and surf but not their webmail and then after a few minutes with the site it will time out eventually. I do notice when going to aol.com its takes a very long time to respond back with a can't get to site. I have tried several ways in getting to the site, with different means, however when I use a cellular 3G/4G connection to any of the admentioned computers I can get to aol.com with no issues mail works fine as if nothing is going on. Now I have a 35mb connection and I just upgraded it to 75Mb speed yesterday (awaiting for it to be turned up) and I also ordered the new actiontec fios modem with gigabit network, is there anything that would be causing me not to get to aol.com from my fios internet?
Thanks

Wifi connection unreliable only on my HP 23-h020a, all other devices work fine

We have just bought two brand new HP devices but are having major problems with the pavilion 23-020a. Basically the wifi connection is rubbish! All other devices in the house work fine and the PC itself is only a couple of meters from the modem and showing full connectivity. However we cannot reliably get internet connection when using wifi. Sometimes it's fine for a couple of minutes, some pages load, some don't, if my kids are in the middle if doing their home work when it comes to them moving on to the next page to do their online test, the page won't load and all their work is lost. This is totally unacceptable! If we connect using the Ethernet cable it's fine but to do that we have to have two meters of cable running across our sitting room. I need this resolved! We have tried all available wifi channels and nothing has helped. I hope someone here can! Thanks

I can't open Google on Firefox. All other browsers work fine...HELP!

I have always had Google as my default opening site and now it won't load. All other sites load fine and I don't understand why Google wont and what to do to resolve this?

Hey ya fella. I had this problem from two days ago and today I found the solution. You should disable some of your extensions to make FF run better. I don't know what extension exactly is the cause but I can think the FoxyProxy maybe.
Try with each of 'em.

I am suddenly not getting a text tone when receiving a text - all other sounds work fine

I am suddenly not getting a text tone when receiving a text. All other sounds work and text tone is checked in settings.

I finally discovered that the problem is with a single text tone and all the rest work fine. The text tone not working is one I purchased from iTunes about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine up until 2 days ago. When the text tone is still there and it plays when I manually select it, but there is no sound when I get a text. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it?

I can not connect to server when all other devices in house can

Why can't I connect my iPad to the server when all other devices can?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I cannot open a new page from the Firefox favorites menu, it worked before in other versions and this new 5.1 version, but stopped working a few days ago, uninstalled, downloaded a fresh program.. same problem exists.
