Can't link to certain website through Safari?

Hello, I tried to link to some websites (example: battle.net) that I was able to link to but failed.
It said it cannot open the page because it cannot link to the server.
All my other websites are fine.
Anyone please tell me how to fix this?
My IOS and Safari are both up-to-date.
Thanks.

Thanks. But I can still access battle net through my other cmputers and play the games. Only with this iMAC, I not only can't access battle net, but also all website started with this domain name, including technical supports, etc.
Also I am very sure that I never cheat or break any of their rules, not even tried.
Also I am using a wireless router. Is that possible to block an IP generated by a router?

@[email protected], I'm surprised that page worked in earlier versions of Firefox. It uses a script to click on links, which has not worked for a long time as far as I know.
There are at least two add-ons that can take actions on multiple links. I haven't tested either of them, but you could check them out:

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

Where can I upload an ebook designed in InDesign CC2014 that can be linked to a website?

Help!!!
I've been asked to create an ebook and find out where to upload and store it so it can be linked to a website. I use InDesign all the time but am not a programer so I'm going to give the new InDesign CC 2014 a go to create my first one after hearing all about EPub at the Adobe Road Shoe in NZ.
Has anyone got suggestions on where I can upload it to that is secure and can be linked to a website that has already been created. It's not something that is going to be sold - just for people to be able to download it who are within the business.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help.
Cheers Rach :-)

Can't access my website through safari through linksys modem

I've just spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could make work is Internet Explorer. But I mainly work on a Mac, which doesn't have IE and I'd much rather work with safari.
Here's the problem.
I have a bunch of websites all hosted under the same shared hosting account. At first I could access them while wirelessly connected to linksys router. Then the connection got very slow and eventually, I couldn't access my websites anymore. I could access all other website. In fact, I'm connected wirelessly and I can reach that forum, but I can't access my websites in that hosting account.
EVERYONE ELSE can access my websites though. And I can go anywhere else which has wireless connection and I can access my websites. So they're up.
I can also connect my computer directly to the modem and access my websites. It's only when I'm connected to the linksys wireless router that I can't.
So the idea was the problem is with linksys. I spent 6 hours with linksys support and all we could do is make it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?

Hi Rick,
It's not a mac problem. I am able to access my router i.p address with safari.
The problem that I have is with the Mac AND my PC. They both cannot access my WEBSITES that are all located in one hosting account using Safari. For example, I can't access www.bullseye-promotions.com using safari or Firefox.
*What I need to figure out:*
it work on my PC with I.E. by selecting the following option: Internet options --> connections -->LAN settings --> and check "automatically detect settings.
How do I do that with Safari?? Any suggestions?
*A better explanation of the problem:*
HERE IS THE CONFUSING PART... I can access my websites through a linksys wireless router outside my home. The problem occurs only in my home. I bought a new linksys router but the same problem remains.
Even when I hardwired through the linksys, I still can't access my websites that are hosted in that particular shared hosting account, except with I.E.
sometime I gain temporary access but then I loose it again. I think the linksys support guy told me it's about linksys giving the right public I.P address, or something like that.

Can't log in to websites on Safari for iPhone 4

I'm sure I have some setting checked or something, but for some reason I cannot log in to websites through my Safari app. One specific case in point is Ravelry.Com. If I go there, it takes me to the log in screen for the mobile website. I enter my username and password (yes, correctly) and push send and then it takes me right back to the blank log in screen. The same thing happens if I try to log in to LionBrand.com and a few other websites I've tried.
My friend has an iPhone 4 and she can log in to Ravelry with no problems.
HELP!!

Thanks so much for your help, but as soon as I put the question out there, I found a link with my solution. The Ravelry hack was just one in a long list of sites I use that have been hacked. I'm so over hackers at this point. I change my passwords frequently anyway, but it's such a nuisance.

Can not view video links on certain websites now, can on IE. Everything updated!

I can no longer access videos on Foodnetwork.com with Firefox as my default browser, although other website videos work fine. I have updated all plug-ins and Firefox to latest versions. Still doesn't work. When I switch to Internet Explorer, all videos play fine.

your Firefox version is not up-to-date. Latest version for Windows XP is 5.0.1
-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Why can't I access certain websites, such as google or facebook, in any browser?

This started last night, and it is strange. I am unable to access a few websites, such as Google, Facebook, and the sign in page for my google account. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all with pretty much the same results. I have reset the original settings in these browsers, cleared my caches and browsing data, ran the disk utilities and permissions check. And still the same results.
Two particularly peculiar things have been occuring.
In youtube, I am unable to sign into my account in two of the browsers, and in Chrome I am already logged in but the autoplay of my watch later playlist acts very odd. one the main skeleton of the website is loaded It will show the red bar of the video loading across the top, then instead of playing the video, it skips to the next one. It will continue down the playlist without playing any video whatsoever and marks the videos as 'watched' afterwards. I can still use Yahoo search with no problems.
Here is the really odd thing. When I tried to load youtube in Safari, which I almost never use, it sat and spun waiting for the website then in the end it took me to a 'get google chrome webpage;' this was the same in Firefox (see attached images). Note: the navigation urls are facebook.com and youtube.com, but the favicon shows the chrome icon and my homepage is not set on this. I also included the network traffic overview to show how 47 servers are being accessed via Safari with only three tabs, none of which have loaded. And Chrome is not my default browser.
Also, I have a network montitor that I watch during this and it is very busy going to many different websites accessing over 50 different servers. These are websites which some I recognize, such as chat.facebook.com, and some webservers that I don't recognize. But I don't have any of these open in any tabs and hadn't tried to get on these sites for days.
Two things which may have contributed to these anomolies:
I updated to OS X 10.9.2. It was downloaded two nights ago, and I told it to restart the computer in an hour as I went to sleep. I assumed that it was already installed, but when I opened the AppStore today, it still had to go through the install restart process. Since this update invovled changing how website certificates are handled, maybe my downloading without doing the proper restart install caused something weird to occur. It is true that all of the affected websites do use an https: SSL address. But if this is the case then why wasn't this issue fixed when I finally did a correct installation. And why is there so much traffic to websites on the browser activity that have nothing to do with the open websites in the browser.
The final thing is that I read about how Adobe Cloud accounts, over a few million, were recently stolen. When I was researching this I found a link that was supposed to show me if my account had been one of the compromised ones. I went to the website, http://www.geek.com/apps/how-to-check-if-your-adobe-account-was-hacked-1576194/ which led me to the website http://adobe.cynic.al/, and ( stupidly) entered my account email to search if it was on the list, only to realize after that this was not a legit adobe webpage. If memory serves me correct, the problems going to webisites was worse after I did this.
So, I thought I would bring this to peoples attention. I am now going to do the only thing left I can think of to try and repair this so I can watch my youtube newsclips and google searches again, and that is to do a complete reinstall of Mavericks and then a migration from my backup afterwards, Unless someone had a better idea. BTW I did go through all of my main accounts to websites, using a different computer, and changed all of my passwords.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Suddenly can't connect to certain websites

This week I discovered that I am unable to connect to several websites I am accustomed to visiting frequently. These are not 404 errors. Safari and Firefox both give me the message that they "can't connect to the server," and Netscape says the "connection was not accepted." The problem websites I discoverd so far are nytimes.com, daypop.com, democracynow.org
I had monkeyed with some of my system settings including activating the firewall which I deactivated with no better results. I cannot remember if there
was anything else I did which could affect the web connections. I repaired permissions just in case--no change. It was suggested that I make one of the problem sites my home page on Safari--that did no good.
I sent a message to the NY Times via webmast@nytimes. com asking if there was some reason I should suddenly have a problem connecting--it didn't get spit back at me, but it has yet to be answered.
Out of ideas as to what else to try. Any help out there?
Thanks.

Uh-oh. Very bad that so far NO ONE has any idea how to help. I've put up the question on a couple of Mac site forums which got me to the Network Utility. I tried using it but for the most part can't interpret the results. If posting them will enlighten anyone, I'd be glad to do that.
Someone suggested that I needed to use a different DNS. Now I'm into territory I don't really understand. I went to my ISP's support website and found the addresses of the primary and secondary DNS. My TCP/IP settings didn't require that I input any DNS address, but armed with them, I entered the secondary address and tried to connect again, but no luck.
Aaarghhh!
