Certain websites do not load.

I recently bought a new white macbook. I connected to my wireless network and at first everything was fine. Then after about a week things started to go wrong. When I open safari the apple home page loads fine, but on some websites such as facebook, hotmail and ebay All I can do is see the home page. If I try to navigate around the page by clicking on links or anything on the page, it will say it is loading but will never actually load. After a few minutes it will say it cannot find the server. I don't have this problem on any of the PC's or Laptops in my house, only on my Macbook. The same thing happens on firefox and opera. What can I do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What wireless router are you using?
Is its firmware update to date?
Have you checked its logs to see if there is something causing a problem?

I don't believe firefox is the issue but for some reason pictures and certain websites will not load correctly. Why?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/810160]''
This just started happening a few days ago. When I go to facebook the pictures are distorted and nearly impossible to discern who is in them. I also go to many different websites that do not load correctly. Not sure if it's java, adobe, or something else but it makes browsing the internet not fun. HELP!

I have the same problem. It seems to be due to FireFox 4.0 being unable to load certain embedded content, which Firefox 3 was able to load properly.
I've been having problems loading any website that includes embedded content from worldnow.com, for example.

Certain websites will not load at certain times.

Hi,
for the last few weeks, I have been having difficulty with loading certain websites at certain times of the day. The problem is affecting websites that I've been using for years, such as hotmail, Facebook, eBay, BBC Newsfeeds, Lego website, CBBC, to name a few. It happens whether I use a bookmark, a hyperlink or whether I type it in, myself. The page will start to load, then just hang,with the loading wheel spinning. The page does not freeze and you can stop, go back, reload etc. Sometimes, ebay or hotmail will load eventually, but there will be no, or only a few pictures and the website will consist of just a list of text headings where buttons and frames should be.
The problem exists in Firefox (3.6.25) and in Safari and Internet Explorer (the latter two are fairly old versions. Firefox is my default browser). The problem is the worst around the local afternoon and seems to go away entirely at about 11 o'clock in the evening. This is way in excess of local high volume times and other image and video heavy sites work fine during the outages. Other secure (http) sites work during the outages, too. This doesn't happen every day and appears both on weekdays and weekends. When I have outages lasting several hours, I have looked on the wider web (Google always seems to work) and I can find no traffic suggesting that significant numbers of other users are having problem.
So far, I have done the following:
cleared out cookies and the cache.
reinstalled Firefox
restarted the router
carried out a virus scan using ClamXav
disabled all security and blockers
disabled all add-ons
started Firefox in Safe Mode
None of the above made any improvement. Then, suddenly just before 11pm, everything started working, as per previous nights.
This is very strange behaviour which is extremely annoying and disruptive. Can anyone help, please?
I'm using a G5 2.7 with OSX ver 10.4.11. I have not changes the hardware and software seetting for many months (that I'm aware of) nor have I installed any new software (that I"m aware of).
Yours Aye
Stuadh

BDAqua,
thanks but already done. I've tried an old laptop and although it was loading the offending pages this evening, it was taking 20 mins to load each page. I need to go to my ISP, I reckon.
Yet again, all the relevant pages go down at around 1700 and then spring to life again at 2300.

Certain websites WILL NOT load - Snow Leopard

Hi,
I installed snow leopard a few weeks ago. I had to reset my wireless router to detect my "wireless network" automatically. Around the same time my school website would no longer load. On my public high school's website I access my work email, grading programs, and other important websites linked to the school. I cannot access this website form any computer in my home (including a desktop PC).
I never had this problem before installing snow leopard. Could it have done something to my wireless connection?
The website is:
http://www.haddonfield.k12.nj.us

Is your router's firmware up-to-date?
The fact that none of your computers can access the site suggests a problem with the router itself.
Do you have a separate modem? If so, have you tried using any of the computers with just the modem to see if the page loads?

Certain website does not load page on the first time in Firefox 31

Hello,
When I start Firefox 31 after loading Windows or again after clearing internet cache, this particular bookmark of mine " http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/ " won't load the web page. All you see is a blank screen and a spinning wheel.
However, if I click on the reload button the page then loads correctly.
I don't have this problem with any of my other bookmarks.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks for your help.
MBR9743

Hi cor-el,
Yes the problem has reappeared, so I tried bypassing the cache for my Windows computer as you suggested: Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button, or "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows) I then clicked on my bookmark (http://mdotnetpublic.state.mi.us/drive/ ) and I still see a blank screen and a spinning wheel. This seems to go on indefinitely. But like before I posted the question, when I click the reload button it forces the page to load right away.
[running Firefox 32]
I appreciate your quick responses, and look forward to more suggestions. I'll also search the support pages for information about my problem.
Thank you.

Some websites will not load in FF. Same websites will load in IE.

Certain websites will not load in FF, but will load in IE. FF starts to try to load the page, but then stops and "Done" appears in the lower left corner of the screen, which displays as a white, blank page.

Internet Problems: Websites are not loaded

Hi everyone,
since the Mavericks-Update I got some problems with my Internet-Connection:
1. Often the websites are not loaded. There comes no error-page or something else, its just a white page and I can see the Browser is loading but nothing happens. After refreshing the page, the page often loads correctly.
2. Connection to messengers in the browser get lost. I open Facebook or Google and often the connection to the chatsystem gets lost after a few seconds/minutes.
The problem comes up with any Internet-Conection(WiFi and Ethernet) and on every browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) in every network.
ping of google.com -> lost no packages! -> Internetconnection is stabile.
Other Notebooks are running without problems in the same network. Who can help?

Hello,
I think I solved the problem:
Try this:
1. SystemProperties-> iCloud-> disable documents
2. Open Finder -> "Gehe zu" (go to) -> press alt -> Library -> Search Cache -> Take the Cache and drop to Desktop.
3. Restart your Mac -> During the start press cmd+alt+p+r and hold it down. Now the startsound appears 3 times. After three times you can stop pressing the keys. -> Mac starts -> Problem should be solved.
If you are shure the problem is solved, you can delete the Cache frome the Desktop.

One website will not load on any browser, will work on mobile phone

One website will not load on any browser (Firefox, IE, Chrome). Have turned off all security programs and firewalls, have tried in Safe Mode, will not load. It works on my smartphone. Can load the basic site, but not the sign-in page. Says Connected at the bottom of the page, but says Connecting at the top, and the little circle goes around counter clockwise; ran for one hour, still didn't load. It used to load, don't know if I did something or downloaded some program to make it stop.

You can try to access the website in a New Private Window.

Website is not loading

website is not loading today onwards only in firefox..... help me pls.....

Can you post a link to that website?
Did you have problems with that website before in Firefox?
You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Websites would not load unless I move my cursor for Firefox RC

Whenever I load a website, I notice that unless i move my cursor a little, the website would not load. I didnt notice this for previous versions of FF though.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Hi,
What is your machine and its Operating system ? Do you have wireless network at home ? If yes, have you setup the connection between your laptop and the router yet ?

Text appears as horizontal lines on certain websites or not at all

I tried searching for this problem on the board but most people only have the text overlapping problem. When I go to certain websites such as Suntrust Bank or imaging-resource.com the text does not load in some of the menus and appears as only horizontal lines or not at all BUT the link is still there if you hover over it. This is the first time it happens to me. Maybe its the newest version of Safari that is bugged? I am running version 3.1.1.
Thanks,
Danny

Yes, but did you check your present IP, or the last one?
I'm also wondering if it could have anything to do iwth the fact that I have very big inboxes & sent mail boxes.
Not likely.
Wasn't sure if rebuilding my mailboxes might help - my mail program isn't finding files properly either.
Not likely to do with the sending problem, but...
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

A specific set of websites will not load.

Operating a Time Capsule behind a cable modem, I now find a very specific set of websites (those that I manage) will not load. We had a power outage yesterday which did something to my home network I think.
I have rebooted modem and Time Capsule a number of times. I have tried access from 2 mac mini's, one iPad and one iPhone.
IF I direct connect a mac mini to the modem with a cable, I can access the sites. If I leave the house and work on another wireless network, I can access the sites. I checked the sites from that network -- they are NOT blocking any IP's.
If I try to access the sites through the Time Capsule, I cannot.
I think I just (inadvertently) did a full reset of the Time Capsule -- I had to re-define my network. (Although it seemed to remember some things ... )
SO, I have concluded there is something with the Time Capsule and likely DNS that is preventing my access. I tried simply changing DNS to public DNS servers (like Google) but that did nothing.
Best thoughts on how to overcome this?

Your best bet may be to purposely reset your TC to factory defaults and then set it up again.
One thing to try from within your home LAN to see if DNS or connectivity is a problem is to simply open a terminal and "ping" the IP address of your webserver. If you can ping the webserver by IP then you are able to reach it on the Internet. Then try to ping the webserver by fully qualified server and domain name (i.e. www.example.com). If ping resolves the name to the IP of your web server then you are fine with DNS as well. If either of those basic tests fail to resolve the server and receive a reply, then you indeed have some other issue with your TC or internal network.

Is anyone having problems with Firefox today? My websites are not loading correctly

Firefox just isn't working right today. My home page (yahoo.com) will not load correctly, nor does a university site for a course that I am teaching online. I can do both of these if I use Internet Explorer.

Hi ritawickham,
We've actually put together a troubleshooting section for [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/web-pages-dont-load website loading issues]. Have you had a chance to browse the documents there? If not, you should take a look. There is a lot of useful information.
Hopefully this helps!
