Can't connect to certain web pages

Most of the time everything works great but once in a while I am unable to connect to certain web pages. 2 weeks ago it was aol.com and steam.com. This lasted 3 days and the problem resolved. Today I cannot connect to gamespeak.com. All other websites load with no problems. It is only gamespeak that won't load. I have 3 computers in my house and all 3 cannot connect. 1 is win7 wired (chrome). another is a win7 laptop wireless (chrome). The other is a winxp system wired (IE8).
If I go to www.polysolve.com com I am able to connect. Current internet access FIOS.
Any suggestions?

I can type anything into google and press search and I can only go to 3 of those pages, the others will say cant connect to server. Same with pictures, I google something, anything, go to images and half the pictures will be question marks and then the others I click on may or may not have server connection.

Can't connect to server on certain web pages

I can only open certain web pages for some reason. The ones I can't open says can't connect to server. Don't get it. Help please

IE can display certain web pages.

Hi
IE 11 - when I try accessing certain web pages I get the following message:
Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to.....
Try reloading:
It only happens when I am using my OPTUS Service - USB Modem (3G).I have treid using other providers Telstra & TPG and they work fine.
OPTUS say it's because I am on 3G and said I need to upgrade to a 4G modem. It worked fine until a week ago.
I really do not understand internet - can anyone advise if what OPTUS are suggesting is the issue or could it be something else?
Thanks

Hi,
As S Guna suggested, this might be caused by DNS issue.
We may take a try with the following command:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
Type them in command line with admin rights.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions. One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
and pandora.com to name a couple. This was roughly 3 days ago.
1.) I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower. In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors.
The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors. So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this. Things I have tried:
1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first). Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites. I found nothing I could identify
Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point.
I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can. I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
Help is most appreciated, thank you!

I was able to figure out a solution.
CAUSE:
It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers. It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups. i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
SOLUTION:
To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

Problems loading certain web pages

Lately, in the past week or two, I have been noticing that Safari wont load certain web pages. It jsut stops and then I get a blank white page with no error message. I have noticed this mostly with Facebook, but also found the same problems with Evite.com when I click the login link. I have tried using Firefox and it seems to d better, especially with Facebook, but it did hang up on it one time. I cant get to the login page on Evite with either browser. I am using OpenDNS, but dont have these things blocked. I can access them fine from a PC laptop through the same connection via my wireless modem.

Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utiities). Select Passwords on the left then delete the Evite under Names on the right. Launch Safari or Firefox, go to the Evite site and login. After typing in your password, click Always Allow
I opened Keychain, but there is nothing in there for Evite under passwords?
Try Safari Maintenance
Repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Tried this, but still having problems in both Safari and Firefox. Facebook seems to be random, more often not working than it is. Still no login page with Evite?

Safari-Certain Web pages won't load

As of 2/25/06 I am having problems in loading certain web pages from Safari, Fox fire or even Netscape. I am able to load Google but not Yahoo. I can't load any site connected to www.tamu.edu. Some sites I have used often and some are new. My internet provider is stumped. I have dumped caches and reset Safari but that did not help. Most sites are loading but a select few will not. On Safari I will get the message "Connection has timmed out" or "Server stopped responding." Any suggestions? Thanks
JDKW

this may or may not help, depends on how you connect to the internet.
I've been having problems with safari not loading some pages and being slow for a couple of days.
so i tried the other browsers and got the same, couldn't connect to the itunes store either.
I connect using a router with a couple of mac's networked, I've being driving myself insane trying to gte things sorted, finally I reset the router, everything is now working.

Safari won't open certain web pages

Hi,
I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.

How can I delete an old web page ??

How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

Delete the web page where it is published.
If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
It really is not hard.

Garbled fonts on certain web pages

On certain web pages, particularly xckd.com, tvtropes.org, and many MediaWiki sites, certain fonts (mostly Lucida Grande and Arial, usually when bolded) don't render properly, replacing characters with spaces, boxes, or occasionally dollar signs. Whatever's causing it seems to have something to do with stylesheets, since if I shut stylesheets off, it works fine. There's no evidence of corrupted fonts, it doesn't do the same thing on Firefox, and if I try to use one of the community Webkit builds I see no difference at all.
Thoughts? (I can post screenshots if necessary, though I'm not entirely sure how...)

Hi OffSeason,
There's a lot of undefined font calls in the CSS files you link to. xkcd simply calls for "Lucida", which is not a valid font call. A font name must be the entire name for it to work correctly. A poor choice actually since generally, only Mac users have "Lucida Grande". There are a lot of different Lucida typefaces, but I assume you're expecting OS X's Lucida Grande.
It's better to call multiple fonts to cover both Macs and PCs. For instance, in my font article, the body font is called as font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial. What this does is tell the browser to use Lucida Grande first if it's available. If not, use Arial instead.
Anyway, since no valid font is called, your browser is supposed to use whatever is set as the default sans serif font in your browser preferences. Which in Safari, is Courier. Though if I cut and paste random lines of text out of either page you link to and paste it into TextEdit, they all come up as Helvetica.
That again is due to the web designer's lack of defining a font. The main.css for tvtropes properly calls for "ComicSansMS" where they want that to show up (though it isn't used anywhere on the main page), but that is followed by the substitution of just "sans-serif". That's nothing, which is why my browser is using Helvetica, a sans serif font. If they want the visitor to see a specific sans serif font, they must call it out by name. Many of the CSS font calls are simply for "sans serif", which leaves it up to your browser to essentially use something at random.

Accessing certain web pages

The computer is a Toshiba Satellite P205-6337 running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I can't seem to access certain web pages. One example is I can go to AOl's Homepage with no issues, but the minute I click on anything from the sign-on log-in to an article on the page I get a windows explorer window that states, " Internet Explorer can not open the internet site http://www.aol.com/. And below it "Operation aborted." When I click on OK it then goes back to an Internet Explorer cannot display this page. Thanks in advance.

Satellite P205-S6337
You use Internet Explorer 7 still?
Why do I receive an "Operation aborted" error message when I visit a Web page in Internet Explorer?

Certain web pages are stuck in large text in Safari

I've been having this issue since I got my Air last year. Certain web pages (MSNBC and Google to name a few) are stuck in really large text. Other web pages are fine. I've tried resetting th browser, deleting cookies, etc. But I cannot seem to fix this issue. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry. I poked around furhter and finally found the issue. The font sizes were too big! Not sure when I could have done that, but there you go. This question can be closed down.

Having problems accessing certain web pages online.

I have no problem going to web pages when I bypass the airport extreme. When I connect my G4 notebook to the airport extreme it does not allow me to go to certain web pages.

I'm having the same issue too! I noticed it the night I installed Leopard, so I was thinking it was Mail and Safari 3 acting up. But tonight I unhooked the AEBS and was able to access my site and email just fine.
I've tried resetting the AEBS several times, but it hasn't helped.

Safari is not opening certain web pages

Why isn't Safari opening certain web pages?

If you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus" software, uninstall it according to its instructions and do not reinstall it.
There are a variety of other potential reasons for that message. First try restarting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below). Attempt to load the same webpage again. If that works it will reduce the number of potential causes.
Determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)

Hello,
I have following problem. I need to connect to the internet using a proxy server. I went to System Preferences/Network/Wi-Fi/Advanced.../Proxies. Then, I selected Web Proxy (HTTP) and enetered server's IP address and port. It looks like I did everything correctly, but Safary can't open any page because "Safari can't connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)". Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

There are three possibilities:
1. You entered the wrong address and port number for the proxy.
2. You entered the wrong user name and password, if applicable.
3. The proxy doesn't work or is incompatible.

Certain web pages load a blank white screen

Hi, I have Macbook OS X 10.9.4. I recently developed a problem loading certain web pages in both Safari and Chrome. These pages will load a blank white screen. I recently installed Mavericks and the issue was gone for a little while, but it came back the next day and persists. Thank you in advance for you suggestions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
