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

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.

  • Safari iPhone can't play QT movies from certain web pages

    I'm trying to reach QT movies from certain websites and I can't seem to get the streaming video to play in Safari on my iPhone.
    When I click on the link, it opens a new page. I briefly get a Quicktime logo, then I get a "cannot play" icon (triangle with a stop symbol).
    When I go through a regular browser, I can see the file is a .mov file. It seems to be a smallish file - about 2 minutes at 320x240 size? I don't know what the bit rate is.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
    By the way, I love my iPhone!

    At this time .Mov files are not compatible with the iPhone.
    The website would need to re-encode their movie into an H.264 video

  • Safari Version 5.1.2 (7534.52.7) suddenly can't connect to server, Firefox works fine

    Running Lion 10.7.2 and latest version of Safari.
    Last night I opened up my MacBook and Safari gives the 'can't connect to server' error for any page I try and visit.
    I tried resetting Safari, clearing cache, rebooting Safair, rebooting computer, resetting router and modem, uninstalling/reinstalling Safari.
    Firefox still works fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Figured out my issue.
    It was a conflict with an old version of Little Snitch running with Safari 5.1.2
    I updated to the latest Little Snitch version and no more issues.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

    Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
    I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
    The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
    I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • 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.

  • "Can't connect to server" Error

    I'm using a 24" iMac running 10.6.7 and I keep getting a "can't connect to server" error with Safari for certain websites. While I could have posted this topic under the Safari section, the problem is not Safari. I tested other web browsers on my iMac (Firefox and IE) and still got an error. I did all the trouble shooting like: empty cache, reset safari, cookies, proxies, /index.html. Now, I was thinking it could be my router, but I am able to access those websites through my iPhone and my iPhone is connected to my wireless router. So I figured the problem is with my iMac settings.

    Any help?

    Hi Opti1CS,
    Welcome to the forums!
    Have you tried a clear the DNS cache?
    I found that I switch networks allot; witch leans my DNS cache rather jumbled up. After having to reset the DNS cache for the 10th time in a week. I ended up stumbling over DNS flusher. I find it easer then memorizing a terminal command.

  • Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

    Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
    Here are the particulars:
    This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
    The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
    The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
    This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
    Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
    Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
    Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
    For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
    Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
    "home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
    iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB    
    Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

    Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
    Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.1
    Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
    Apply now. Good luck.
    Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

  • 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.
    Best regards

  • I HAVE THE NEW VERSION OF FIREFOX. I LOVE TO PLAY THE POGO GAMES , I CAN NOT CONNECT TO SERVER. A MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR SAYING LOST CONNECTION. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

    I CAN GET INTO THE POGO WEB SITE, BUT CAN NOT LOAD THE GAMES. THE GAME WILL CLOSE AND A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR CAN NOT CONNECT TO SERVER. IT GIVE YOU OTHER OPTIONS, COULD BE BEHIND PROXY OR FIREWALL., MAY BE TO BUSY, PLEASE TRY AGAIN. NONE OF THEM SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM.HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP

    Which "new version"? Websites think you are using Firefox 3.0.19, which is no longer supported. Maybe your User Agent is "stuck" on that old version?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
    Then restart Firefox

  • Almost constant "Safari can't connect to server"

    Starting a few weeks ago, I have started getting regular error messages that "safari can't connect to server". It is getting really annoying! It also affects Firefox. I have made every change I know to with internet settings (Open DNS settings, etc..), but nothing works. I have contacted my DSL ISP and they cannot find any problems with my service, which makes sense as I have had the service for nearly 2 years and this problem has just started recently. Oh yeah...I upgraded to 10.4.8 about the same time this started. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
    Thanks in advance!

    Update....after installing "Cocktail" system utility software and running all the systems, guess what??????
    No more issues! I'm not sure if it was the combination of the re-install and then the system utilities run....but I am back to surfing the web with ease!
    Thanks a million for your help!

  • Can't connect to server to accept terms/conditons

    after upgrading to ios 7, icloud is not working on iphone 4S—asks me to accept terms and conditions, but then says "can't connect to server" to do so.
    Tried turing off and on, any others having this issue?
    Thanks

    Feel so foolish. After deleting as you suggest, I realized that the mail I'm reading on my iPad is, in fact, the mail from the cloud. I was expecting an iCloud web page like I see on my computer. Apparently, that's not the case. If I've been receiving email on my iPad, then I'm already setup properly.
    Thanks for you help anyway ..

  • Safari can't connect to server problem (just one website)

    After I upgraded my mac about a week ago, I can't open a particular website using my home wifi (Safari can't connect to server) It lets me open page but one, which happens to be my mail website. However, when I use a public wifi, I can open that website without any problem. Any ideas why this happens?

    Linc.
    I have been unable to connect to specific random favorite sites and tried your posts suggestion
    "Boot into Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results."
    I was able to connect to all my unavailable sites. Can you help me discover what is preventing my access when not in Recovery mode. I Made the Safari preferences match the recovery mode Safari preferences so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
    I ran EtreCheck
