Can't connect to facebook. The other day, logged off and back on a few hours later and wouldn't load facebook, loads all other websites. Possibility that someone using computer, deliberately blocked facebook.....any ideas ?

tried everything I can think of but nothing is working

I'm so glad I stumbled on your dialogue here - I am having the EXACT same problem. Mine started about 1 week ago AND I have the same router as you, Comcast gave me the exact same response, etc...  Still can't get my MacBook Pro on the network, though I can take the computer ANYWHERE else and it connects to any other network. Very strange. I can't get any support from Comcast and this is clearly their issue and not Apples. Did you ever resolve?
Even stranger is that I can get on Comcast's webpage no problem so they keep telling me nothing is wrong but I can't visit any other web pages as I am told "no connection to the internet". Even when I plug into my modem with DSL cable...no internet even though Comcast keeps telling me there is service and I'm online...I'm not!
I don't know what to do next. I haven't been able to use my computer in over a week. I'm typing this on somone else's laptop, who is connected to my netowrk (LOL).  Any advice? Thanks!

  • Why does Firefox warn me "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" on just about everysight that I go to including my MSN homepage

    When I open firefox and go to my home page I get The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. This also happens when I access other pages. I click ok and then it opens up but I'm ready to go back to IE

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Can't connect to Facebook any more

    cant connect to facebook anymore

    So I solved the mystery: It has to do with facebook settings, in fact as of time of writing (Nov 2013), the setting is in Facebook, under the oddly named Apps/Older versions of Facebook for Mobile.
    I had this set to "Only me", once I set it to "Public", it all worked.
    In fact, after I deleted my facebook link in Mavericks' "Internet Accounts" I couldn't even reconnect until I discovered this switch on Facebook.
    I appears that this is an older API for accessing Facebook, so OSX must still be using that function.
    Weird that google couldn't turn up any clues.

  • How can I load mavericks on a new drive, and then re-load all my software on that drive?

    My operating drive has bad sectors. Bought a new one to load on Mavericks and re-load all my software. How can I do this?

    If your Pro came with install CD's or DVD's, you would use them to install the OS that came with the computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks. If Snow Leopard came with your Pro, as it says in your profile, that should work.
    If your Pro did not originally come with installer discs, then you would need an OSX recovery disk assistant
    OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 , or an internet connection, to do internet recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Another option is a Mavericks installer disk, which you can make yourself with  DiskMaker X
    Once you get the Mavericks installer downloaded, but before you install it, make an installer with DiskMakerX so you'll have it for the next time you need it. The installer deletes itself after you do the install.

  • After iPhone goes sleep, can't connect to wifi unless I turn it off and on

    I'm having an odd issue. I've had my iPhone for about 1 month after owning an iPod touch. Both my gf and I have purchased iPhones and hers does not have this problem.
    When the phone hasn't been used for a while (ie in my pocket) once I try using it again, it won't connect to the wifi. If I go under settings, I see a checkmark next to the wifi, but the 3G icon does not change to the wifi icon. It basically does not want to connect, however if I turn off the wifi and back on , it instantly connects. This happens with any wifi connection (at home or at work)
    The same thing occasionaly happens to the 3G, it says I'm connected to the 3G network, but I can't use the internet at all. At this point I have to reset/reboot the iPhone. Then it works
    It's a common issue that seems to be both affecting the wifi and cell network.
    I'm not sure whether the issue is hardware related, or software. I'm thinking of restoring the iPhone using iTunes, but I'm not sure if it will back up everything like the Cell network settings and everything.

    iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which is updated as the first step during the sync process. The backup includes iPhone settings including wi-fi network settings for each wi-fi network you have connected your iPhone with along with other data such as email account settings, contacts (which should be synced with a supported application on your computer), 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, photos/video in your iPhone's camera roll (which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera), SMS/MMS, notes, and your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences. This is not a complete list.
    When restoring your iPhone with iTunes, there are two options. From your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup which must be manually selected. When selecting Restore, you will be prompted to update your iPhone's backup which you should do. Before doing so you should import any photos or videos in your iPhone's camera roll and sync your iPhone to update any data kept synchronized with a supported application on your computer such as contacts and calendar events.
    If there is a problem with any of the data included with your iPhone's backup or a problem with the backup, restoring from your iPhone's backup will also restore the problem, but try this first. If no change, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after that, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • I cannot get my iWeb site to load onto my Godaddy domain. I can get it to test the connection but the progress circle never changes and it never loads.

    I cannot get my iWeb site to load onto my Godaddy domain.
    I can get it to test the connection succesfully but the progress circle never changes and it never loads.
    I know on my previous laptop and website when it was working it should a little progress circle where the little
    world icon sits. Now it doesn't load.

    'Publish to' should be set to FTP server
    Site name is the name you give to your site.
    Server address - the domain name of your site, e.g. fred.com
    User name - this is the specific user name for FTP which they gave you.
    Password - this is the password they gave you for FTP, not the password for your account.
    Directory/Path - leave blank to have an index.html file at root level and the site in a folder with its name, so that entering just the domain name takes you to the site. Or if you want it within a folder, enter the folder name.
    Protocol: FTP
    Website URL os the address which will reach your home page: if there is nothing in the Directory/Path field it will be just the domain name.

  • A Linux version fo Mozilla Firefox 6 Start Page states "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." - Why?

    Hi, My Linux Mint (a Debian/Ubuntu flavor) when first seen, the Mozilla Firefox 6 Start Page was great. However, when moving away to other sites and then clicking home the response was Alert - "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." Having trying everything (apart from using a large club!) I am lost. Any suggestions team? Mark

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I can't connect to Facebook, it doesn't even register the site, and I can't even ping it in CMD?

    I can't connect to Facebook. I could this morning, but suddenly I can't anymore. It tries to load, and then says "The connection has timed out".
    I also can't connect with Internet Explorer. However, I can connect with Firefox, or IE from other computer (Other computer also has other internet provider).
    I can connect to any other site on the web, like I am now on Mozzila support.
    When I go to run, CMD, and type "ping www.facebook.com" it also says "Request timed out", and 4 packets lost. When I ping it, I get "star.c10r.facebook.com [31.13.64.65]". When I search for that IP i get "Facebook Ireland Ltd".
    When I do same ping on my other computer (and other internet provider) he pings "star.c10r.facebook.com [179.60.192.3]" and pings correctly. From that other computer I also can't ping first IP (31.13...), but from first computer (on which I can't go to Facebook site) I can ping second ping (179...) correctly, but I need to type it in manually. When I just type "ping www.facebook.com" it gives me that first IP that doesn't work (31...).
    Why does it happen, and why do I get different IP's when I type "ping www.facebook.com"?
    Any idea how to fix it?

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    Check the settings.
    Contact your ISP and have them check your service.

  • Can't connect to facebook from candy crush using my iphone 5?

    can't connect to facebook from candy crush using my iphone 5

    Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

  • Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
    HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
    Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
    Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
    The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
    The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. 
    Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
    Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.

    Hi Francis,
    Could you please let me know how have you been trying to install Acrobat?
    Please ensure that you are signed in as admin and antivirus software is disabled at the time when you install.

  • I am having problems combining 2 pdf's together. When I do it crashes Acrobat XI. The files are fairly large about 20Mb each if that helps. Others have been able to combine them without issue. Any Ideas?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
