Google Homepage not loading in Safari, other browsers

I live in the Peoria, IL area and use Comcast cable internet service. I use the following: intel iMac 10.5.7, Safari 4.0.2, and Firefox 3, Cisco Linksys wireless router. Yesterday, Google homepage stopped loading on my iMac....nothing. I tried, with negative results, loading Google on Safari, Firefox, and Opera (the latter was downloaded to test my problem). I also have an iPhone and use it on the network...google works fine on the phone.
When I directly hardwire the iMac to the router, which is (obviously) wired to the modem, google loads fast a furiously. Unplug it and go back to the wireless connection...google will not load. Other webpages load fine wirelessly. I should mention, Yahoo will load but searching yields no results (it will show a continuous loading bar). This does not seem to be a modem or router problem. I had a weak wireless signal from my neighbor and was able to load a few sites except Google.
Lycos search engine works (almost forgot that search engine existed). Haven't tried Bing (Bing is gay). This is a very annoying problem. Google is my search engine of choice...use it for almost everything. Man, any help would be appreciated. I've worked almost all day (vacation day) on this problem.

I just realized this post was placed in the Safari Windows section. My bad. Anyway, my problem apparently fixed itself. I normally leave my computer on throughout the day and night. Last night, I turned the CPU off before night night time. When I awoke this morning, I was greeted by an iMac that was functioning normally. Google search engine works. Not sure what happened, but my problem seems to be fixed (for now at least).

Google map not loading in Safari

My embedded google map will not load in Safari. Will load in all other browsers just not Safari.

Google maps use embedded HTML from Google to render content served by Google.
If some of your users can't see the google map, it could be a problem connecting to the google maps site, or a browser setting that prevents google maps from displaying.
Google has some troubleshooting tips on their site:

Safari not loading images but other browsers are.

As the title denotes, I'm having this issue with safari that some images are not loading and I only get a blue question mark square. I have seen other forums with this question but it seems that my scenario is a little different, because other browsers like firefox can display images with no problem. Also for example, when I do a google image search only several images get to load while others don't. If I click refresh they finally get loaded but sincerely they take a lot more time to load than on firefox (sometimes refreshing doesn't work either) It might not be such a problem in an image search but on pages like facebook it is quite a hassle.
I don't know what might be causing it, (I don't believe its got to do with my internet connection since firefox has no problems whatsoever.) At first I thought that maybe an update might do the trick so I installed Safari 4 Beta which gave me only a slight better loading of the images.
Now to help see my case I've got some points to say in advance:
1) I don't think it is webpage specific but I frequently see it in google image search and facebook
2) I am using mac OS X 10.5.6
3) Every time an image doesn't load, the activity window says "can't find host"
4) As said above, I'm using Safari 4 Beta. But still I had this problem with the previous Safari

Hello,
We also have a problem with Safari only partially loading pages, or not loading them at all (a blank page is displayed). It happens intermittently, and affects some websites more than others.
It's definitely not an Internet issue as all other browsers (FF 3.5.1, latest Opera, Navigator, IE 6, 7 and 8 via Parallels Desktop) can display the pages normally.
I don't think it is related, but most of the websites that are affected are hosted at MediaTemple:
http://www.bedsupperclub.com
http://www.soundphuket.com
http://www.silqbkk.com
http://www.bedmgmt.com/
Reloading the page doesn't help (we tried reloading a gazillion times).
The issue affects all computers in our office (iMacs, MBP, MB).
We are using the latest version of Safari (4.0.2), it's an issue that we also experienced with 4.0 and the Beta.
We are gradually shifting to Firefox as this issue is really frustrating.

Btyahoo homepage not loading with Safari on iPad

Safari will not load my Bt Yahoo homepage, all other web page load ok.

On further investigation it seems that BT is changing servers this month (October 2013) from Yahoo to BT's own. This means that the BT/Yahoo page will dissapear altogether. The BT help desk does not give you this information. all they tell you that it is either a fault on the iPad or Safari. The BTYahoo home page is loading OK on the iMac at the moment but I suppose we will be loosing that soon.

Google maps not loading in safari to GWizz app

When using google maps in either Safari or the GWizz app it either doesn't load at all or it loads to my current location then refuses to search for either another location or a route, it just stays put. I have a full wifi signal & all other web pages are loading as normal. I am using a brand new (2weeks old) wifi/3G new iPad (& regretting updating to iOS 6!!). Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple sabotaged google maps?!!!

I would think Apple would make their Map App as a plugin to Safari. Gives them more coverage to update their data set. Any idea if this is in the works?

TS3230 Why aren't Google and Yahoo loading in Safari with Maverics? After several failed attempts, a "wireless diagnostics" zipped folder appeared on my desktop. I'm using a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.2

I updated to Maverics and now yahoo and google do not load in Safari - i get a "connot connect to server" warning. other websites load just fine.
Also, after several attempts to access the aforementioned sites, a zipped file/folder appeared on my desktop titled "WirelessDiagnostics"
What in the world is going on here? I attached a screenshot of the zip file.

Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

Start with this;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,

Podcast will not load in safari from server, but will load in other Apps

Podcast will not load in safari from iWeb Page from server, but will load in Firefox and other web apps.
Here the problem: I have a podcast page made in iWeb. It is setting on a server with GoDaddy. When I try load page with Safari, I get where the Quicktime Playing Bars are a small Quicktime Logo w/? mark and will not download or play. But in Firefox, My iPad and in Windows side it will load and play. Also it play on a friends Macbook Pro in Safari. (Note it will play in my Safari after Firefox has play -it "very strange to me" like Firefox will open some port, but it will not stay open if quit Safari re-booth-it) I have remove the .plist for Quicktime & Safari. And clean out the Cache for Safari. Also have re-set the Firewall setting to Enable Stealth Mode only. Re-load the site to GoDaddy. This is happening to both Mac's in my network and in all users accounts.
My Network is a A&TT with a 2Wire w/wrieless turn off. going into and Airport Extreme Base Station w/N generation network. One computer is connected with and ethernet cable to the Airport extreme base station the other is a wireless contection.
I do feel this and network issue and I can't seem to solve-it. How can I get Safari to open the port and download and play-it on my network?

We've only discover this yesterday. One of our listeners sent me an e-mail about-it. With a little more research this morning. I've discover that everybody I've had check-it is have the same problem only with Safari 4.0.5. So I'm starting to feel that this is an Apple Safari Bug in 4.0.5 for the Mac only. It seems to be OK everywhere else on other devices. I agree in most cases this is not a problem. But when have older people who do not download into iTunes around the world it is to them. We have 250 or more listeners a week. This is a Church podcast.
For right now we are planing to post a message on the site saying you will not be able to listen to the podcast in Safari, but can in Firefox and ect.

Ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problem. Can anyone help?

ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problems. Why is this? Can anyone help?

It should be: Click on Home Folder (the House) and to the right Library is shown, click on the arrow on the Library folder to reveal its contents and then click on Cookies to reveal its contents and then move the Cookies.plist to the Trash as Carolyn suggests.
Then try eBay again.

Google will not load on my new MacbookPro but why?

I'm going to make this as clear as possible, but may miss something so bear with me.
I've owned an iPad and iPhone for a while but just yesterday purchased my first MacBook Pro which is the first apple computer I've owned. I'm still learning my way through the menus since I've been a PC user its a little different but rocket science. I'm relatively smart about these kinds of things, but when offering up suggestions it would help to tell me how to get to certain menu options as I'm still finding my way around.
THE ISSUE:
When I use Safari, I can visit whatever website I want but for some reason google won't load. Safari comes with the search bar at the top of the browser for easy searching, which brings up common suggestions (I thought came from google) and if I click one, it doesn't load the results. Furthermore I cannot get www.google.com or any variation of that link including 8.8.8.8 to load the google webpage. It just WONT LOAD. Every other site I've tried to visit, however, loads quickly and without any problem.
I've never had any sort of problem with google on any other computer, ipad or iphone in my home and my network is set up to allow it. The only related pages I've found on the internet suggest people are using PeerGuardian or some software I have not had the time to install as I just got the computer, theres' nothing on it that didn't come on it shy of a few photos.
After tinkering with the ping menu, I came to realize this problem is intermittent. I first got 'domain cannot be verified' as a result, then later it pings google, and i can visit the site, but only for a few seconds before it goes out again. Usually google works only long enough to see results but upon clicking any of them it stops working again and wont load.
Before I could finish this google started working properly, and now discissions.apple.com won't load any threads at all, where it used to load them all just fine. I'm writing this from my PC because the oh so awesome macbook pro is moody about what sites it wants to load and when it wants to load them.
This is so random I don't even know how to begin trouble shooting this without assuming its my network, but my network is totally fine its never had a problem before and ive been on it with multiple machines for years.

I don't think it's your network ...
Try this...
From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If it was a cookies issue, that may help.
And in case you aren't aware, when you have trouble with sites loading, trying emptying the Safari cache.
Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Empty Cache
Or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
As for Peer Guardian. Best to avoid third party firewall blockers.
Your Firewall settings are located in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
Very important to keep your system software up to date. Back to System Preferences > Software Update > Scheduled Check
Select: Check for updates. Best to select Daily from the pop up menu. Then select: Download updates automatically.
You'll see a dialog box on the Desktop when there are updates available to be installed.

Firefox will not load https (and other websites)

Hello everyone.
I'm running Firefox 18.0 on Windows 7 (64bit). Out of the blue, it started not loading certain webistes. It just spits out blank pages, or does not react when clicking login buttons. The web console will display a GET-message [for facebook: http/1.1. 302 Found 174ms], but hard reloads (CTRL+F5) do not help either.
So far, I have encountered problems with :
- Facebook (blank page)
- Amazon (will not react upon "login")
- GMX (will not react upon "login")
- Mozilla.org (will not let me download Firefox anew OR create a support account)
- My university's library catalogue (will not react upon "login")
- Any of my university's https://-pages
- The Google search in the Firefox task bar.
- EDIT: The e-mail confirmation link this board has send me will not load either.
They will load in Internet Explorer, so here's what I did:
- EVERYTHING from the "Firefox can't load websites, but other browsers can" page, including
Removing and readding FF to my Firewall exceptions,
changing proxy settings,
Dis- and enabling IvP6 settings,
DNS Prefetching,
Clearing cookies, history, browser cache and network cache,
full system scan
- Deleting and Reinstalling Firefox
- Dis- and enabled SPDY in about:config
Please help. I'm at the end of my rope. Thanks.
EDIT: The websites work if I start FF in safe mode. Hope this leads to something.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Flash Player Mac 10,3,181,26 not loading in Safari 5.0.5 64-bit mode, any fix?

As the title says, the Flash Player 10,3,181,26 is not not loading in Safari 5.0.5 64-bit mode, I found out after wasting 2 hours installing/uninstalling the plugin and trying anything from repairing disk permissions to installing a fresh Safari app, then it hit me... switch Safari to 32-bit mode and bang!, Flash Player worked just fine.
Even as a long time Flash developer, I refuse to stay in 32-bit mode just to be able to see my work in Safari so please Adobe guys, find a fix for this.

Hi, You are probably aware of the Square version which is 64bit support. Haven't heard when it may be ready for a shipped version. But it's being worked on. Since you are a Developer, I thought maybe you'd be working on it too.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/
My system is not a 64bit, but I can see where one would forget which browser they were using. Something like having more than one computer and forgetting which one has certain info:-)
Thanks,
