Cannot sign in to a specific website.

Signing in to my AtomicBobs website returned a "Server not found" error for my desktop.
Followed some of the FAQ suggestions and reset Firefox but still had the problem.
Checked McAfee, and cannot find a reason for blockage there.
Ran Firefox in Safe Mode and the was able to log in to the website. However, after restarting Firefox in regular mode, my sign in is still valid, but when I try to post a message, I get the "Server not found" error again.
Thought this was my desktop, so I tried my laptop with the same problem.
Up until 2-3 weeks ago, I have never had a problem with this website either on my desktop or laptop.
Also, the website works in IE, but Firefox is my preferred browser.
What's changed?

I asked this question several months ago without a resolution although I did get some thoughtful replies for which I am grateful.
Anyway, the problem continues with some additional curiosities when running Firefox.
On Firefox 33.1, signing in to the AtomicBobs website returned a "Server not found" error for my desktop running W8.1.
I get a similar result on Firefox for my laptop running W7.
If I “Delete the stored cookie” link on the website, I can sign in. However, if I try to post on this website, I again get a “Server not found" message.
This does not happen with IE on my desktop or when I use my MS Surface RT Tablet (also running IE), so I’m assuming this has to do with Firefox.
I don’t know if it is connected, but EZPass keeps sending me an email that my AOL email address is undeliverable (I use Firefox to read my AOL emails and have no other problems with delivery and the email listed is correct).
Also, when I try to book a tee time on my local golf course, when I try to confirm or cancel the suggested tee time, I get knocked off the website – although both the confirm and cancel buttons books the tee time!. This does not happen in IE.
I have tried to compare option settings between Firefox and IE, but cannot find a discrepancy.
I would appreciate any additional suggestions to resolve these problems since I have been a long time Firefox user and this is my preferred browser.
Also – how about expediting Firefox for MS RT!

  • Macbook cannot view specific websites

    I am running OS X 10.4.11 on an Intel-based Macbook. I cannot view some specific websites, like www.facebook.com, www.commonapp.org, and apple's own discussion forums, regardless of the browser. I have used Firefox, Safari, and Opera. All have the same problem. The frontpage to the sites will load if I set them as my homepage.
    Is there any possible reason this could be happening? I have looked online and others have experienced this problem but no one seems to have a solution. I am in the midst of the college application process, and the deadline is January 1. All of the applications are online and I can't access the website. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You might need to provide us with a little more information about your Internet connection. Are you using dial-up via the USB modem? Are you connected via Ethernet to a cable or DSL modem? Are you connecting wirelessly through an Apple AirPort device? Or a third party wireless router? What happens if you skip the wireless router and connect your MacBook directly to the DSL or cable modem with Ethernet? Have you tried moving your MacBook to a new location that has Wi-Fi? Have you contacted your Internet Service Provider? Clearly, Apple is not blocking access to their own Discussion forums to people using Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger).
    -Doug
    P.S. I'm going to ask the Hosts/Moderators to move this topic to the "original" MacBook forum. Since no one in this Aluminum MacBook forum is using Mac OS X 10.4.

  • Cannot sign in to try Adobe Muse downloaded from Adobe website

    I cannot sign in to Adobe Muse's trial at all. It seems to authenticate but everytine it returns to the Sign In window with the options to choose from entering my subscription or start a trial. Does anyone know what can I do to try Muse? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1 and Adobe Muse 1.0 LS10 downloaded from Adobe website. I guess that's the final version.

    I just found and followed the steps described by Zak at this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1004554?tstart=0) and I was able to sign in.
    Thanks Zak.

  • Cannot print specific websites to HP printers

    Trying to print a specific website http://www.desert-alchemy.com/info/article/decision-making/ to an HP LaserJet 400 M451 and LaserJet Pro 300 m375nw using iMac OS X 10.9.3, MacBook 10.9.3 and an older MacBook 10.6.8 in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
    The printers simply stalls. The laserjet pro 300 reboots each time when getting the print command. The laserjet 400 doesn't do anything. LJ 400 says "printing" and "copying print data". I chat up HP Chat Tech support and they said, "We do not have Apple Tech Support Training. Please call M-F 10am - 7pm." 
    I have an old 2100M and hooked it up to the 10.6.8 OSX running MacBook. 2100 printed the above websites footer and header, nothing else. 
    Any suggestions? Thanks. 

    Hi, 
    After waiting a couple days, maybe the problem would just magically resolve itself, tried again to print and same behavior: 
    HP LaserJet 300 Pro reboots, Error Code 79 and nothing prints. 
    We took out our Canon Pixma MP560, the one which makes a ton of noise, which prompted us to purchase the HP LaserJet in the first place, the Canon Pixma MP560 prints the above website in 6 seconds while the HP again, reboots. 
    Isn't there anyone at HP that can answer why this website doesn't print? http://www.desert-alchemy.com/info/article/decision-making/
    Is there something in the driver I'm missing? Is there a radio button I'm not hitting? Why can't these 3 HP printers print this website but the Canon can?

  • Big Brother Live Feed will not play or cannot sign in to website.

    I cannot sign in to CBS.com to watch the Big Brother Live Feeds. When I hit the "sign in" button, either a "secure connection" error shows up or nothing happens and the sign-in pop-up box stays on the screen idled and will not disappear. CBS.com has two different choices to click to sign in, neither one works. It will work in Internet Explorer.

    Try this:

  • I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

    I cannot sign in to the App Store.
    I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
    When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
    When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
    Please help me.

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I I cannot sign out of my comcast email in Firefox but I can do so in IE.

    My husband and I each have our own email account on Comcast email. We almost always use Firefox to open it. Suddenly, I cannot sign out of my email account on Firefox. I click on sign-out, then click on sign in, but the email automatically goes to my email account. After signing out, and clicking on email, it sometimes says "oh oh, you're not signed in." But when I click on sign in, instead of giving me the sign in box it goes right to my open email account. Just can't get out of it. When I am on IE, I can still sign in and out of both Comcast accounts without a problem.
    I use a laptop with Windows 7 or 7XP I believe, not sure which it is. Thanks for your help.

    Try to clear the cookies from that Comcast website.
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • When trying to sign into facebook in settings for ios6, I get an error that says "You cannot sign in from your iPhone since you have opted out of Facebook Platform." What gives?

    When trying to sign into facebook in settings for ios6, I get an error that says "You cannot sign in from your iPhone since you have opted out of Facebook Platform." What gives?
    More info: I've combed through the settings in facebook and there is nothing that shows I'm blocking anything from accessing it.

    Sure sounds like a Facebook setting. When you look at your Privacy Settings in Facebook (on facebook.com), you should see something under "Apps you use" that says
    Turn off your ability to use apps, plugins, and websites on and off Facebook. After you turn this off, we will not store information about you when you use apps or websites off Facebook.
    The "Turn off" is a hyperlink that shuts down the Facebook platform. If you don't see this, or if the wording is different, you may have (inadvertently?) shut this off, and should be able to turn it back on.
    Edit: The sequence to that screen on facebook.com is: Privacy Settings (from the upper right dropdown), then "Ads, Apps and Websites" will have an "Edit settings" link to the right. This is where you'll see the "Apps you use" screen.

  • Can't open a specific website with BT infinity

    Hello
    I got a massive problem with BT infinity (fibre to home service, BT HomeHub 5).
    To make a long story short:
    Internet normally works quick and fine (I get 70 Mbps download speed and 20 upload on average) BUT a specific website I use for job purposes doesn't work.
    This problem first arose when I upgraded from BT Broadband to Infinity last year; prior to that that website worked just fine. 
    So you may be asking yourselves why I had waited one year to speak up: simple, because in the meantime I had managed to bypass the problem. To be more precise the website I am talking about has a numeric extension which I just deleted and things worked fine (EXAMPLE: www.iamnanogianni.com:123 , I just would type www.iamnanogianni.com and it worked) unfortunately this is not possible anymore and that extension has now to be typed in order to open the website.
    This won't just work for me.The page I try to load looks scrambled and after I type my username and password it just freezes.
    -I've checked the firewall (and also temporarily disabled it to see if that was the problem),
    -I have reset both the HomeHub 5 and the OpenReach modem,
    -I have utilised a old HomeHub3 modem (exactly same result),
    -I have called BT 100 times and they say that that particular website is not blocked. Sometimes they say it is a coincidence this is not working (!!!), some other times they just remain speachless, sometimes they genuinely try to help but to no avail sadly,
    -As soon as I disconnect from my router and connect to, say, BTfon WIFI then the website magically works  on my laptos. I am talking about a Mac and a Dell,
    -Last but not least an OpenReach engineer came to my place and left empty handed (ie he was not able to determine the problem).
    What would you do if you were me?
    Many thanks in advance for your help

    If you are using a web browser, then without the extension it will default to port 80. As you are using a non-standard port, which is actually reserved for the NTP service, you will need to use the port 123 extension.
    I cannot see how it could possible work without the extension, without some form of redirection.
    You need to move the webserver to port 80, and not port 123.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Why does a specific website say validating and doesn't open the site for me?

    why does a specific website say validating and doesnt open the site?

    My Safari also has a hiccup. My ISP (comcast) helped me by suggesting I try the same task using a different browser (firefox). I had both installed, and firefox completed the task smoothly with no issues. I was told the problem was on my end and my safari browser was most likely flawed. I cannot find the procedure to uninstall & reinstall the Safari app. My iMac came with 2 discs (os & bundled apps) But the ability to choose Safari only, for this task remains illusive. Any suggestions or fixes to repair a glitch infected Safari will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
    Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
    In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
    In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
    It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
    If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
    (It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
    An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
    There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

  • Icloud cannot sign in.

    I cannot sign in on my icloud. Please advice.
    I need to retrieve my contact number.

    Hello,
    You may want to refer to the following information if you cannot sign into iCloud:
    iCloud: If you can’t sign in to icloud.com
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2611
    If you have trouble signing in to icloud.com, try the following:
    When typing your password, make sure the Caps Lock key isn’t on (passwords are case-sensitive).
    Make sure you’re typing the Apple ID email address and password that you used to create your iCloud account. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]
    If you can’t remember your password, or you see a message that your account has been disabled for security reasons (which might happen if someone tried and failed to sign in multiple times), you need to reset your password on the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can't connect to a specific website

    I have exhausted all other issues, but cannot connect to a specific website on my Verizon FIOS network. I am able to connect to it when I'm at work, and others are having no problems. I just can't connect through my home account. Please advise.

    I check the settings on your router to be sure you are not blocking any sites or specific catergory of sites using parental controls.
    It is possible that the public IP given to you by Verizon is being blocked by the WEB site because of something a previous holder of this IP did or didn't do.   Unplug the power to your Verizon for at least 30 minutes.  After plug it back in you should have a new Public IP.   Confirm this by checking the status page on your router both before you unplug the router and then after you power it back up.
