Curious - why can some see web page and others cannot?

I've had a couple people tell me that the link that I have provided for my website (a cut and paste of the URL address) doesn't work and the error msg is that the page does not exist.
Others can view the site just fine.
I have, until recently, also been able to view my site without issue but I live in China and it is not unusual for there to be sites temporarily blocked from time to time. I have not been able to bring up my site and thought that this was just due to one of these fun times. But the person not able to access the site is in the US.
So my question is, what other things could bring up an error msg like that? Since it is a cut and past issue, it can't really be a mistyping of the address so looking for any other things that could cause this.
Thanks!

Problem sort of solved.
However, the person who was having difficulty wasn't able to click on the full address URL but when I gave him the shortened version (the version that comes up on iWeb when you are asked if you want to publish it) it was fine. Not really sure why one works and not the other but a solution was at least found.
Posting this in case anyone else runs into a similar situation.

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Can't see web page content on my OS9

I am having problems viewing web pages with my OS9.0.4 mac. I am using IE version 5 and have flash 7 but can't seem to get an updated version as they all seem to be for OSX. Any ideas to overcome this issue?

Good grief that's a flash laden site. Make sure you are using the latest MRJ.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75097 Mac OS Runtime for Java 2.2.5
Clean out IE's cache files. This will make those type of sites display properly.
Do the following:
Once a week in IE Edit>Preferences, delet History, Empty Cache (if you have cable set Cache to 0).
Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
finder
ASLM
PPC Registration Database
Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
If you want to rebuild manually, see KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery.

New iPad mini retina but why can't I download pages and numbers for free?

I have just bought an iPad mini retina and used my current itunes account to register on the iPad. I can see that the keynote that I bought before is free but not numbers and pages. Are they not suppose to be free when buying a new device?

Hi, I did use my current apple ID to activate the device but I can't see it as one of my devices that are registerd to my ID. I have an iPhone and an iPad 2 that shows when I look on the devices connected to my account. Should I reset anything to do new registration? I have tried to log out of itunes account and login again but it still doesn't work.

.FLV files ..why do some play in HTML and others don't?

hi,
I am using dreamweaver 8 to embed 'FLV videos into html
webpages.
the problem is that when I embed and test some flv files, the
player shows up on the page and the videos play fine,
but when I try with a couple of other flv files, these files
do not work - a blank screen shows up (though when I right-click on
the screen where the video player is supposed to be, the flash
drop-down menu appears).
I know that the Size of the files is not why these files are
not working, and I have the latest version of flash player
installed. Also, I'm sure I have not made a mistake in the code,
and I suspect that it is something to do with difference/s in the
files themselves... ?
If you need any further info, please let me know.
this is quite frustrating - so please help.
thank you.

wutronic,
Maybe the following bits from the following Adobe page may be relevant:

You can use the Live Corners feature multiple times on a corner, and modify either the radius or the corner style. However, if an associated anchor point in the corner is dragged or manipulated in such a way that the roundness is lost, then the widget will no longer appear for that corner.
Maximum Angle Limit
Users have the option to hide the Live Corners widget
for corner angles greater than a specified value. You can specify this value in the Preferences
> Selection & Anchor Display

Why can some websites work well in other browsers but not in Firefox 3.6?

Today I went to Turbo Tax.com to file my taxes, but for some reason Firefox 3.6 would not let me get past logging in and their homepage. At first I thought it was the website, so I contacted their support who couldn't figure out the problem, so I opened Chrome to see if it would work on it. Guess what I did my taxes without a hitch. On Gamefly.com Firefox won't let me move a selected game to the number one position, but it will on Netflix.com. Firefox is my default browser and I would like to keep it as such but I can't with this kind of iffy proformance. Help! By the way I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell desktop pc. Comodo is my firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials is my anti-virus. FYI

Although that error references the problem line in the script as line 71, that line actually has numerous commands in a compressed form that is very hard to read, so I can't see immediately what the issue might be.
In case one of your extensions is involved, have you tested the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Why can't I "update" titles and other effects on iMovie?

I love creating videos on iMovie. I even have an account on Youtube.com, which I upload some of my videos to. Regardless, I am restricted from achieving a high level of iMovie competency due to limitations on my knowledge of iMovie. I don't know how to add titles to my movies. I can preview them...but somehow not "update" them. Its confusing. Also...I don't think I can add Quicktime videos to my iMovie videos. I am quite confused, because I look around online and everyone is doing these compilations between their own clips and those of movies, music videos, etc. Also if there is any free software I can download to rip dvds and convert files...please let me know. I am really confused. Someone help me...please!?!?!?!

Hi Crew:
Welcome to discussions!
You don't need to 'update' the titles-just drag them.
Look at this little video (really it's quick!) for a tutorial:

Why are some InDesign previews large and others small?

I seem to save the individual files out (they are the same physical dimensions) yet some have large previews in Bridge and others have small previews in Bridge. Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to be connected to whether or not you saved Preview images when you originally saved the files.
Re-opening and re-saving in CS4 should solve the problem.

Why is my install not completed. I can't see install progress and I cannot cancel install

I have Adobe acrobat 9 pro why do some files open automatically and other do not.

when I save a file as a pdf. and go to the folder the file only opens if I select it. When I download a file as a pdf it opens automatically in the same folder. How do I get all files to open automatically.

The options on the save are typically either in the printer properties (if printing to the Adobe PDF printer) or in the Acrobat preferences if using PDF Maker in such programs as WORD. The button is included to allow opening on creation. If it is opening on download, that is typically based on how your browser is set up to call software for the file types being downloaded.

Why do some processes show jdbcclient and others actual hostname?

When using the v$session etc our DBA's notice that whilst a lot of applications will show the actual hostname a process is running from or where the connection to the database is coming from our processes just show jdbcclient or something very very general.
Anybody know why that is the case since we believe we're using the latest 10.2.0.1.0 JDBC thin driver.

From what I have seen, the default in the drivers is very general. Changing this is just a connection property, although an undocumented one.
Try adding the connection properties 'v$session.program' or 'v$session.process'. How you populate these are up to you.

I just got a call about this exact issue today!
The person is at a Marriott hotel which uses some type of company called STSN for their internet connection via both Ethernet and Wifi.
http://www.stsn.com/home.html
I'm waiting for them to call me back after trying every trouble shooting step I could think of. My only guess now is that it's Safari's pop up blocker blocking some kind of navigation or log-in window. I'm going to tell them to turn off pop-up blocker menu choice next.
After that it's turning off Java and Javascript to see if the have any affect.
Btw, they're experiencing this propblem on a TiBook G4. Also tried a new user account and two other pre-existing accounts but all had the same issue. Both with Ethernet and WiFi the problem remained.

How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
Can somebody help me to make this script?
If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

Curious - why can some see web page and others cannot?
