Can't use google. Little help please

For some reason I cannot use Google as a search engine or access its website. Would really like to resolve this. Any help is really appreciated.
Things I have tried:
1.) Ping google and it was successful
The address it is using is 173.194.117.242
To make things weird, if I use this numerical address in the search cue I in fact get access to the google website
2.) I flushed the DNS in "Terminal"
Not sure if that did anything. I read somewhere to try it
Important background information
When I enter google in my search function, I am directed to this page strangely http://122.132.196.148/33407BMULZ/dsawfffs.php?64198
I do live in South Korea so that's why its in Korean. Basically it tells me I need to update google chrome (which I am not even using) or download some binary patch that really only is meant for Microsoft users so it doesn't work on my computer anyway.
So...Why is it that I can reach 173.194.117.242 (google) but then am directed to that strange web page in korean when I use google as a search engine in my browser (firefox,safari)
Thanks!

    Do you have location services turned on? See Settings > Privacy > Location Services
    In any event Maps can be used to obtain directions by supplying the start and end locations after touching "Directions" in the upper left corner.

  • I lost my only navigation tool bar, so I can only open one window at a time, and can't use google. Help.

    I'm not sure what I did, but I right clicked on my google tool bar (which I use since I can't find the Firefox navigation toolbar) and I somehow disabled it. Now I can only use one window at a time, and if I go to a website, I can't go to another without closing my current one so I can go to my homepage, which is google.

    If the Menu Bar is hidden then press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    Contact them and find out what their policy is.

  • I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please

    I just purchased Time Capsule today.  I ONLY want to use it as an external drive.  I do not need it for Time Machine. I need to free up room on my computer. As of now, I can't even load updates. I can see the TC in my finder, but when I click on a file or video to drag and drop, I get message that TC can't be modified. Help please!

    I agree with Kappy.. passing files and especially via wireless is slow as slow.
    Just need to be sure your TC is the new AC model??
    And the OS on the computer is Lion?
    Have you completed the setup of the TC via the utility? You do still need to get internet via the TC so it has to be plugged into the main router..
    Give us the full picture of the network.
    Then we can help you get into it.. whether you should put your files on it is another question.

  • I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
    Nobody here can help you.

    I am legally blonde and not very tech savvy, so I don't really know how to do that.  I know ur time is valuable, so could u possibly give me a short tutorial?  I would b very grateful! I use the camera kit to get my pics from my sd card to my iPad and also from my iPhone to my iPad. Had I known I would have this problem, I would not have transferred my pics to my iPad until after I took the sd card and had my pics printed.

  • Can I use Google Sync to transfer only my contacts from my IPhone 4 to my gmail acct? I don't want to sync info from Gmail to the IPhone. Can the sync work only one-way? I have 0 contacts on my gmail as I'll only use it as a back-up 4 my IPhone contacts.

Please Help!!

    You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
    Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

    Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about  20 mins. Need to turn  off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.
    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

    This has happened on several computers. I can download using video download helper with on problems until I attempt to download "Dishonorable Disclosures" on You Tube once a download attempt is made on that video download helper stops working for that video or any other video. Could this be a virus or malware? How do I fix download helper after this happens?

    Which movie do you mean?

  • Need a little help please    Airport Express

    Need a little help please.
    I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
    I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated…
    Thanks
    In advance…
    PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

    Your connection sequence would look like this:
    Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
    This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

  • Guys, a little help please ???

    Guys, a little help please before i launch my new toys out of my pram   I've got the new apple TV, Ipad2, and IOS5 update. I'm trying to set up mirrorring , however, when i double click the home page and swipe, the only options it gives me are Ipad or Apple TV. The video shows that i should be able to simply click on mirrorring and whazam it appears on my TV... I can't get this option.... I've rebooted them (router, ipad 2 and Apple Tv) numerous times but still can't get it.......Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Sounds as though the options you're getting are the standard Airplay output icons.
    Check current AppleTV software version in Settings>General>About
    Latest is 4.4.2 - there's a sticky at the top of the page about updating - if you're on 4.3 or lower just update from Settings.
    Maybe someone can confirm the video you mention is actually the correct way to invoke mirroring - link?
    (Yn anfodus heb iPad2 does dim syniad 'da fi os ydi'r Mirroring yn gweithio fel yn y fideo - oes linc i'r fideo, rhag ofn bod y fideo'n anghywir?)

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?
