Can't load facebook.

I've been trying to figure this out for weeks now..
I have a new Macbook and for some reason recently it will not load facebook.com.
All other sites seem to work not problem, I've tried clearing the browser cache, tried a different browser, just about everything I can think of.
Can someone help please?

You've got a DNS issue where the site name is not getting converted to the IP numbers. There are many ways this can happen. Parental Control softwares, OpenDNS settings in the router or your machine, changes in your hosts file on your machine, and other places/causes like problems with your ISP's DNS machines, etc. How do you connect to the Internet and who is your ISP?
What do you see when you go to System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS
There should be two (and possibly more) IP addresses in the DNS Servers box. If they are gray they are probably being set by your router. If there are some IP numbers in black that can be changed, they have been added manually or by some program.
Most people just use the default DNS numbers that their ISP provides in the dynamic connection. You can actually choose to use just about anybodies DNS servers. You can try adding the DNS servers for OpenDNS (free service). I don't think they block FaceBook by default, but they do block many **** and phishing sites. OpenDNS: https://www.opendns.com/start/
Make note of any DNS servers that you delete from the list in your preference so that you can replace them if needed for some reason.
It's also possible that you are using a community router, that someone has setup and has custom DNS settings that are causing your problem.
The good news is, you can ping a site and get the IP address that you can Bookmark, so you can use your Mac while you are trying to figure out what needs to be changed

    i have an iphone 3gs and i can't load facebook because it says i need os 4.3 or higher but i have 4.2.1

    If you're using an iPhone 3G, you can't use the current version of that application.
    If you're using an iPhone 3GS, connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it.

    Hi, Shadiamond Murray.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection.  The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • After instaling ver 3.6 I can't load facebook games. And I can't un-install

    After installing new ver of firefox 6.1 I think, firefox will not load facebook games. It says that the adobe flash crashed. I looked for an update to no avail. How can I either fix this or revert back to the previous ver?

    Hello Alsohim.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Can't load Facebook on Firefox . Suspect malware/trojan. Downloaded 3 free scan/remove programs, all end in .exe and my Mac wants to know which "Application" to use to run them. Help?!

    Firefox 3.6.19
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    attempted the''' 3 free options''' listed here
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20never%20finishes%20loading%20certain%20websites?s=cannot+load+page&as=s
    when I click on any of them, they don't just open/run. they want to know what application to use to open them. do these work for my Mac, or is there another free alternative?
    Here's what the Mozilla page above said
    Firefox never finishes loading certain websites
    If specific websites (not all) start to load, but never finish (i.e. The Firefox activity indicator may spin for several minutes, or the status bar may show "Done" on a blank page), it is either because of a software trojan called Vundo, or a file being in the wrong format.

    Vundo trojan variant
    A variant of the Vundo trojan is known to cause Firefox to have problems loading certain high-traffic sites, including Google, Yahoo, MySpace, Facebook, and more.
    Search for malware
    Not all variants of the Vundo trojan can be detected or removed by malware scanners. However, you should scan your computer for infections first:
    * Run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.
    * Run a full system virus scan with something other than your normal program:
    o A '''free solution online is Kaspersky's online scanner'''.
    * Run a full system spyware scan with something other than your normal program:
    o MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware

    If you're having a problem loading sites other than the one described above, see the Error loading websites article to see if it addresses your problem. You can also check your Internet security software - resetting permissions for Firefox can often fix similar problems.
    There can be other causes of the symptoms described above. Before attempting these instructions, try the methods described in the Basic Troubleshooting article to see if they will address your problem.
    If you still have problems after scanning, you may ask a support question.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Can't load facebook flash games completely, can load and play games anywhere else

    I have adobe flash player 10.2 for firefox installed. I've got 3.5.18 Firefox. Up until about February I was able to play flash games just fine, even with an apparently outdated Firefox and flash player 10.
    Then I suddenly couldn't completely load games like Frontierville or Treasure Isle. No matter what I would do; including clearing the cache, clearing temporary internet files, reloading the page repeatedly, restarting my computer and uninstalling/reinstalling my flash plugin and my browser, the loading screen would hang at about 98% completion. This is now a common issue across the site for me. No games at all will load.
    I can go to any other site however, and play any flash movie or flash game I wish. It will load properly, and play as normal.
    Any and all addictinggames.com games and any and all miniclip.com games work just fine, as an example.

    I have played the facebook games on firefox, they run perfectly fine on firefox. no problem with the games. All the games are working fine. Facebook games, chrome games or be it online games, they work absolutely fine on my firefox. There might be some problem with your computer. Try to fix it yourself. My firefox runs absolutely fine. The favicon on my site is a movable one which keeps sliding. Even the favicon works on my firefox which does not work on Google chrome. Internet explorer completely messes up my website but firefox is absolutely working good. I play games on [[Racing Games|http://www.racinggames9.com/]] and i haven't had any problem with any of the games here. Miniclip is also working fine on my firefox.

  • Since yesterday morning Firefox can not load Facebook. Every other browser works fine. Tried many computers, both Windows and Macs, same issue. Help!

    Facebook loads fine on multiple PCs and Macs in any number of browsers but NOT with Firefox on any of them. Started Friday AM. It tries to load but takes FOREVER and never gets "up". Frustrating since FF is my browser of choice despite the fact it has recently become the slowest of all the browsers I've tried. Be nothing like THIS slow. Other sites seem to be unaffected, just Facebook.

    What you describe look like a problem of infection, for me.
    I have W7 and FF34 as you, and FF is faster than Chromium.
    So, except a problem of corruption of the code of your Firefox (and maybe problems generated by some addons or plugins), I' rather believe that there is malware(s) on your computer.
    For FB, it could be the adware pushow**.dll, like pushow35.dll, in c:\windows\system32
    What security programs do you use on your computer ?
    If you want, you could also try to start Firefox in "safe mode", to see if there is a difference of speed and on FB.

  • Can´t access Facebook on my new MacBook Pro

    Hello. Yesterday I got a new MacBook Pro. First, I updated it to OS X 10.7.5 and everything works just fine, except that I can´t load Facebook, safari shows a message saying it can´t connect to server. I tried installing other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox but the same thing happens. The problem also happens with Twitter, every other website loads correctly.
    I searched for Facebook in Google, and clicked on the first result which was Facebook in Spanish. https://es-es.facebook.com/ The log in page showed correctly. Then I tried typing my user name and password and clicking enter to log in and it stops working. The same message apears (safari can´t connect to server) with this url adress https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1.
    Maybe this has to do with the fact that my MacBook is configurated in Spanish since I live in Latin America. I changed my language to English and the same thing happened but with Facebook from UK with the adress https://en-gb.facebook.com/ I still couldn´t log in.
    I think it could be a DNS issue, but I don´t know how to fix it.
    I would appreciate any type of help since I´m really excited with this new MacBook and I would really like to solve this problem. Thank you!!

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

    You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed.  When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.

  • Unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro

    I have been unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro for almost the past 2 weeks on my wireless internet at home.  It started out not loading using Google Chrome, but the problem quickly spread to all of my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). On Chrome I get the following message: "No Data Recieved Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.  Error 324." On Safari, it says "Safari can't open the page."  My internet connection is fine for all other websites other than facebook.  Furthermore, when I brought my MacBook Pro out-of-town facebook worked fine on a different internet source.  In addition, facebook and all other websites are able to load on other devices on my home internet (desktops, laptops, iPad, iPod). 
    I have contacted both my internet service provider and the manufacturer of my router and neither company had any idea how to fix it. They seemed to think it was either a facebook problem or a problem with my MacBook.
    I have a tried a few things that seemed to provide a temporary fix lasting about 5 mintues or a few clicks around facebook:
    1. clearing the cache and history in my browswers
    2. changing some settings on my router
    3. restarting the router
    4. connecting to the internet using ethernet instead of wireless
    I would really appreciate any help in trying to fix this problem!

    Hello there,
    I had the same exact problem. This is a simple DNS issue which you can fix through your system prefernces. Look at the DNS setup (System Preferences/Network/Wireless/Advanced)
    After doing so, go to THC/IP then there try to change in the Configure IPV: to DNS manual address, try inserting the ip address you had previously. It wont work but by doing so, the computer will try to inster new settings. Then go back to was there before which is Using DHCP... then go back to DNS tab on top add your ip address and connect as usual. This worked for me, I was lucky I have no clue how it worked I was just trying to fool around with the DNS settings which are clearly the source of the issue.
    hope it works for you.
