Cannot access Facebook via Mountain Lion

Running 10.8.2 on a MBP 5,1. At first, I had no trouble. At some point, I became unable to access facebook from any browser- chrome, safari, or firefox. Chrome gives the response "This webpage is not available. Google Chrome could not load the webpage because www.facebook.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection." i.e. the response I'd expect to get from any url without an internet connection. However, I can access Facebook just fine in Windows 7 via bootcamp and iOS. Other variables- I had a Facebook related extension called social fixer installed on chrome, but doubt this is the problem. Firefox and safari did not have the extension, and did not work either. In Windows 7, I kept the extension, and facebook still worked. I did a bit of research and really couldn't find much on this problem. Tried a few simple things, clearing cache, cookies etc., rebooting... no dice. Help appreciated! Thank you in advance!

If you have the same problem in all browsers, then obviously it has nothing to do with Safari extensions, which can only affect Safari.
Launch the Network Utility 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 Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and enter
www.facebook.com
in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same.

I see Barney-15E made suggestions regarding Chrome preferences. There's also a setting on the Mac to deal with this. Regarding the drop-down menus not seeming to scroll through (such as a list of states)--where when you place or click your cursor over the drop-down menu and it only opens to some of the options in a list, I found that you have to change the scroll bar behavior in your computer's (and not the browser's) General Preferences within your System Preferences.
Open System Preferences, and click on "General" inside the top row of "Personal Preferences" (as it is in my system with Mountain Lion, and I think prior operating systems before that).
Once inside General Preferences, select the radio button option for your scroll bar which you'd like to use in the "Show scroll bar:" section ("Automatically based on mouse or trackpad," "When scrolling," or "Always." If you're using a mouse and not a trackpad, you'd probably want to select "Always" as it takes swiping over the drop-down list on the trackpad to enable (make visible) the scroll bar and/or scroll the list.
Either with the installation of Mountain Lion, or the installation of my trackpad (I'm using a desktop iMac and not a Macbook / laptop) I found that the righthand scroll bars seem to automatically disappear. When I moused over or clicked on a drop-down menu (such as the list of states) I'd see only the first few options in the list. In order to access the rest of the states (get the list to scroll) you have to either have the scroll bar setting set to show "Always" or (if you have a trackpad) use the trackpad to swipe/scroll while hovering your cursor over the list's items to get it to scroll the list, and thus then show/reveal the lefthand scroll bar (which can then be accessed with your mouse if you prefer.
This confused me at first when my scroll bars seemed to disappear, but was an easy fix.
Hope that helps with that part of your issue.

Cannot access Facebook since Mavericks upgrade

Since I updated my Snow Leopard to Mavericks about a month ago, I've been unable to access Facebook through Safari, Google Chrome, or any other browser. However, I'm still getting Facebook message notifications via the notification centre.
I am very confused as to why Facebook is simply not loading when every other site is working fine.
Any ideas?

I also have the same problem until now after upgrading to Mavericks. I cannot access Facebook on all browsers. Have done the following:
- cleared cache, etc.
- uninstalled and reinstalled all browsers (except Safari)
- reset all browsers.
Please help. Thanks!

I also bought Microsoft Office Home and Student and cant use the Outlook. Is there anyway to just install the Outlook on my Mac? Or i have to buy a new one which is is Home and Business?
Thanks,

Try enabling the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connecting the Mac to the Internet thru it. If Facebook works ok then, that would mean the ISP is either blocking or having connection problems whereas the phone carrier is not.
Be mindful that carrier data charges can be outrageous so use this as a test first.

I cannot access Facebook on my iPad since the last upgrade

I cannot access Facebook on my iPad since the last upgrade - I have turned the iPad off, recharged it and still brings up an old page every time.

Private Browsing can be found in the lower left hand side in Safari. It just says "Private". I'm not sure what to tell you about the mail issue. You might
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

TS3276 Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

You might be able to set up the SMTP server settings in Mail to authenticate with a password. That may get the email through.
In Mail Preferences, Accounts, select the account.
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu and select Edit SMTP Server List
Select the Server and then click the Advanced tab at the bottom.
Select Password authentication and add your details.
You might also want to set a custom port (even if it is one of the defaults)
This solution is normally for an email provider that will not let you send outside of your ISP network, which most prevent. They also must support password authentication of the SMTP server.

Can no longer access Facebook via Safari on iPhone

Ever since I loaded IOS 6 onto my iPhone 4, I cannot get to Facebook via Safari...it automatically reverts to the fb app. Even if I put www.facebook.com into the browser. I still access fb via Safari on my ipad (new ipad). This is important as I have low vision and the font is too small on the app.

I have the problem after upgrading my iPad to iOS 6.
It started with the app store, then facebook app and finally can't access to any apple.com page.
Already restore the iPad and now I can access to app store. Still working to get back my access to facebook.
If anyone has an idea about this?
