Certain websites not working. Tried a bunch of solutions

Hello all,
I have recently bought a MBP15" late 2013 (running mavericks) and have some issues on the networking side. More specifically some sites (facebook, youtube,google) will not load or load incompletely while other sites ( vimeo, wikipedia, apple etc ) work blazingly fast, with no problems.
Problem details: when I first launched Safari on this mac facebook was behaving a little bit strange, i.e. some pictures were not loading(like profile thumbnail pictures in the feed) but everything else worked OK. This was quite random, and appeared only in some days. After a while, I was getting certain intervals of time (around 10-15min) when the afore mentioned sites would not load(facebook, youtube). After that period of time everything was back to normal.
Today they seem to not work at all. Facebook loads as a text page if you give it around 10mins, youtube displays "page not found".
I tried on Chrome and Chrome Canary and they behave exactly the same, the only difference being that google search only works in Chrome.
Things I tried: I have searched the web and have found many similar topics, however no suggestion worked for me. I have tried: resetting the router, clearing the cache of both browsers, flushing the DNS, restoring the hosts file, changing the MTU both on the mac and router to 1400. I also tried with different DNS servers on my router ( openDNS ) - internet was not working at all in this way.
As a side these websites load just fine on my phone(ios) and on my windows 7 laptop.
Looking up facebook from Network Utility gives me:
www.facebook.com -> 31.13.84.8
and ping:
PING star.c10r.facebook.com (31.13.84.8): 56 data bytes

And on youtube:
Looking up:
www.youtube.com -> The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 2.)
ping:
ping: cannot resolve www.youtube.com: Unknown host
Can anyone pinpoint me to some solutions on this ? It is extremely frustating. It had the same behaviour these last days but only for brief periods of time (as stated in the beggining), after that everything was normal.
Also, I have not installed or downloaded anything lately. This seems to be a DNS issue, but I have no idea how to solve it.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention another weird thing: stuff seems to work normally when I got to my friends and stay on their WiFi. So this seems to happen only on my home WiFi. However, as stated earlier, my phone and windows 7 notebook all work OK on this network.
Thanks a bunch,
Andrei

This may help actually: These problems also show up in Internet Explorer and Chrome as well

Certain website not working...

So I have owned my Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks now and i still am unable to access the website "www.hotmail.com." For some reason it won't load the page and instead jumps from website address to website address and never loads. Anyone have any ideas of what may be causing this? so far this is the only website it does this with.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions

6630: Certain Keys Not Working

For some reason, my Nokia 6630 has certain keys not working. Actually, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I doubt it's a cover problem, because even when I take it out, the keys still don't work.
The "1", "3", "C", Left, and Up don't work at all, and it's annoying. Some help, please?

The phone is too old and I think it has no FW upgrade in NSU.
I guess this could be a hardware fault. Better if you go to service point.
But before that have you tried a hard reset?*#7370#.
[It will clean up the phone memory, so better back up by PC Suit).

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

Why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

Philip, many people have talked about this "blue lego" problem, but you are the first to explain it (migrating to Intel) that brings clarity to the issue. The Business and People widgets use small "webkit" plugins in order to do their work. However, the plugins on the PowerPC versions of these widgets are NOT Universal, and thus will not run on an Intel Mac.
Typically, this should never be an issue because an Intel Mac comes with widgets already installed (the Universal versions of these widgets, which include Universal versions of these plugins).
However, if I understand you correctly, you "migrated" your old files from your PowerPC Mac to your new Intel Mac. Is it possible you overwrote your Intel OS X default widgets (the 18 widgets in [Hard Drive]/Library/Widgets) with the versions from your old PowerPC Mac during this migration?
If so, then that is the source of your problem: you replaced your Universal widgets with PowerPC widgets. The solution is to reinstall your widgets from the Installer that came with your new Intel Mac. You can either re-install OS X entirely, or use Pacifist to just install those overwritten widgets.

How do I get certain websites to work on my MacBookPro?

I've been working on this for more than four hours now, and I'm extremely frustrated. Here's my problem:
When I try to use certain websites (i.e., Google, Facebook, Yahoo) instead of going to the page, there is a pop-up that says my Flash Player may be out of date. I hit ok, and it takes me to a screen that has two buttons: Update and Remind Me Later. It doesn't matter which one I click, it tries to download Flash. The option this screen gives me is not compatible with Mac, so I found the correct one on this site.
I've searched the forum for answers and tried everything I found on here, as well as spent an hour with Apple Customer Service. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash multiple times. I cleared all my caches, I reset my Safari, I made sure all the preferences were selected in Safari to allow for plug-ins to work. I went into the settings for Flash Player and deleted all the site data. I made sure everything was up to date (OS X 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5), but I'm still getting these messages. When I was on the line with Apple, Youtube was working and playing video, but now it is not. On the Adobe site I was looking through the troubleshooting and came across a screen that said if the yellow clouds were moving, then Flash was working. The yellow clouds WERE moving, but I'm still not able to connect to certain websites.
What else can I do? I'm in a foreign country and Facebook is my best option to stay in touch with my family, but right now Flash is making that impossible for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is your installed Flash Player version?

Several websites not working in any browser.

I have a problem with browsing certain websites on my mac. They are mainly transport websites including nationalrail.co.uk, and tfl.gov.uk. After I put the details of my journey onto the journey planner and hit search, it times out.
I have tried firefox, and opera as well as safari - still doesn't work. I've tried a different internet connection (a friends connection, an internet cafe, and a 3 mobile broadband connection), still doesn't work. My pc laptop using the same connection is able to use the sites fine. I used hidemyass.com a free proxy, on my mac and i was able to use the site properly.

I'm aware of what my MAC address is, cheers though. I'm using the computer fine for the most part, in fact I am using it to type this message. Its connected through a router at home, whatever the basic 4 port netgear wireless one, but that is not the issue, as the same problem occurs with my 3 mobile wireless broadband, or at internet cafe's. Its an issue with the computer, no the network i'm connecting too!
The list of sites that I normally use that aren't working at the moment now include:
www.reed.co.uk
www.concept2.com
www.nationrail.co.uk
To summarise, they don't work on Safari, Firefox or Opera, or within Parallels. They work fine on my pc laptop which connects to the same router. They don't work on any connection, including at home via wired or wireless conection, via an internet cafe across the road, or via my 3 mobile, 3g mobile broadband.
If I use a free web proxy, I am able to access them.
Any further suggestions? Or is it format time?

Dear Letitia Thank you very much for your message about our website.
I am also working with a Mac and could not find any problems. I would be very interested to know which products you are using and what is not working so I could have a detailed look at it.
Thank you very much.

There seems to be a block with the Internet server in the United States as other Internet and cell servers i.e. Verizon and Century-Link DSL work with Mac, Andriod and PC. It just seems to be Mac on Comcast that is not...
Without more data I'm inclined to say it's more likely to be Comcast itself, rather than 'Macs on Comcast'.
For example, do other devices (PCs, Android, iOS) on that Comcast network also have problems connecting? or do they connect fine?
I'd expect that any device at that network has a problem, which indicates a problem with Comcast. It might be their DNS not resolving properly, or them not routing data correctly, but that should be your focus.
Perform a DNS lookup on the www.gordonbennett2012.ch hostname. What result do you get? Is it the expected address?
If that returns the right address, what do you get with a traceroute?
That will test the routing befween your system and the server, and may indicate other problems on the network.

Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

Safari version: 5.1.7
OS: Windows 7
Hi,
I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GREAT NEWS!!!!
I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";
right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!
