Can't open facebook on safari.

I have a macbook, with an older operating system, in safari, I cannot open facebook at all, all other sites will open except facebook. I have tried emptying my cache, clearing history. It will simply not load! In addition I am not very tech savvy, so please be kind. Thank you.

This is starting to be a recurring thead. Had another discussion on the same subject that dragged along for about 2-3 screensful. Something to do with a DNS screwup, probably a successful third-party DNS poisoning hack. In that case, success was achieved by connecting to www.www.facebook.com.
Then, of course, there's the rumor that Tim got real mad after losing his shirt on the infamous Facebook IPO....

  • Can't open Facebook in safari

    The networks at my job restrict my access to Facebook, that´s Ok but now I can´t connect to facebook even in other networks, it seems to affect also the network at home.
    Now I can connect only with my IOS devices

    Howdy.... Still no reply from FB.... BUT, I went to settings, safari and did the following:- "clear history" and also "clear cookies and data". Went back into safari and was able to log into FB again. Let me know if you try this and it works. If FB ever come back i'll paste their response into the blog...

  • I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies

    I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies & history and hard reset a number of times. I can open other websites no problems.
    Any help appreciated.

    You cleared cookies and data in Settings>Safari? Did you close Safari as well before you reset the iPad? Double tap the home button and drag the Safari thumbnail up to the top of the screen to close it.

  • Why can't I open facebook using Safari?

    I am unable to open Facebook using Safari on my MAC desktop?

    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 then try Facebook.

  • Can't open facebook

    Hi... Help...PLEASE
    I have iMac MAC OS10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.6.  Not long ago, I found out I can't open facebook anymore and not only that, I can't open the website like pps or sugoideas which have video either.  Others are normal... Thank you very much

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari.
    Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
    Restart your Mac. See if you can access FaceBook.
    Not sure about pps but Sugiodeas requires the Flash plugin

  • I tried to open facebook in safari browser on my ipad and I keep getting message to update flash player. What should I do.

    These last few days I found difficulties to open website on my ipad through safari. It was started when I tried to open facebook. There was a pop up message asking me to update my flash player. As per my understanding there is no flash player installed or used on my ipad. Please help to explain what is happening with my browser and what should I do since I can't use my browser right now. Thanks.

    Use the Facebook app instead of trying to open Facebook in Safari.
    Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

    My iPod touch is stuck in landscape view.  Even when held vertically if I open facebook or safari is rotates to landscape.  Have tried turning on and off, same results. Any ideas to fix?

    Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

  • Can't open the application Safari... not supported on this type of MAC

    Installed Software:

    Since the 9/20/13 update, I see a circle with a line through it on top of the Safari application. When I try to execute anyway, I get:
       "You can't open the application Safari because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
    I vaguely remember some capability to rollback any updates. Is this true?
    Where should I go from here?

    First you need to clear out some space on the startup volume. You should have at least 9 GB available. Then do as follows.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • Can't open mail or safari after update

    I updated my software when the notice came up and after shutting down and restarting, I can't open mail or safari or itunes. The icons bounce as if starting and then nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know very little about computers. I am writing this on a PC. (Yikes)

    Hi cantfindwan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Can't open gmail in safari

    today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

    By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
    A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
    gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
    when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
    be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
    download/uploads.
    The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

  • I'm having trouble to open any app in my ipod touch- i can go to facebook using safari but cant open facebook app all on a sudden! Is it only me who is facing this problem?

    i'm facing problem to open any app in my ipod touch from this morning- after clicking the app icon, it goes nowhere- i can open facebook using the safari but not through facebook app- same for rest of the apps!

    Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
    Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
    Good luck!
