Google, Yahoo, and Youtube won't load... all other sites do!

I have searched for hours to the solution but I haven't been able to find one! I don't know what else I can tell you besides that I have disabled (and then trashed) peerguardian, have tried disabling the mac firewall and Glimmer Blocker (adblocker), and even tried resetting my router.
What is weird that my ipod touch is able to access all these sites but Safari and Firefox can't. All of this just happened today.
T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U to everyone!

got it on my configuration...
Issue identified: recent modifications to either how Google, Yahoo or YouTube DNS or Port are set-up or concurrently updated in the "Webspider and Bots" list from bluetack used in softwares such as Peerguardian, Safepeer or the like, resulted in the Mac not being able to recognize the server.
Solution: I've modified the filter so that it allows "standard port", and the problem has been resolved.
Note that I had a similar problem with a more obscure website, and the same solution applied though on a different IP list.
Note to Snow600: you need to "Disable filters" in Peerguardian first, and then you can quit, then uninstall it. This was the test I made to identify my issue. Just quitting and trashing Peerguardian didn't solve the issue at first, so I reinstalled, disabled filters, and it worked...

  • I just asked for help with the problem that ebay is my home page and firefox 7 will not load ebay, but will load all other sites. Then it sends me on this loop back to this same page with no help. I'm not all that computer literate, and I need help!!!

    The problem is simply this...www.ebay.com/ is my homepage. But, Firefox 7 can't load ebay, for some reason on my computer. I have checked other computers, and ebay is working. My computer loads all other sites.

  • Youtube won't load on macbook

    I have a MacBook, Mac OS X 10.5.2, and youtube won't load on my computer. I never used to have this problem but in the last two weeks or so it just stopped loading. In other words, the pictures don't show up on the webpage. The videos themselves work but I can't view the pictures that are next to the title of the video.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    Hi
    I'm only guessing but here are a few suggestions that might help:
    1) Empty the Safari Cache. Safari menu > Empty Cache
    2) Clear out any YouTube cookies. Safari > Preferences > Security > Show Cookies.....
    3) In YouTube, ctrl-click on a running movie, choose Settings.. and increase the amount of local storage used.
    4) Use a tool like Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner to clear out ALL system and user cache files.
    Good luck

  • Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

    Specs:
    iMac 10.8.5
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
    I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
    Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
    I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
    It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
    When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
    I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
    When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
    Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
    It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
    Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
    So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
    But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
    This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
    I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
    But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
    While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
    This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
    When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
    I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
    I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
    On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
    Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
    Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
    To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
    Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
    two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
    I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
    When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
    I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
    A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
    I deleted it immediately.
    Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username. 
    So I brought my mac back to the store.
    Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
    I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
    I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
    So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
    PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
    Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

    Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

  • Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML, pictures are blurry

    Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube load as HTML (I think is what it's called?). There are no pictures, just links with little boxes underneath them. My profile picture on Google is blurry. Overall, Firefox is running slow and awkward. I tried re-installing it, but that did not fix it. Firefox help site, and other random websites are working just fine.
    Please halp! I really don't like using IE.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • Export option for highest quality posting to Google video and YouTube

    I'm trying to figure out what the best export options are for posting video on Google Video and YouTube. My primary interest is skiing video with quick actions. Here are the 5 options I tried on my iMovie HD 6, the latest and the greatest:
    MPEG4, LAN
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2913246368993273712
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6RHKXydhQ
    MPEG4, LAN, High Quality
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1920438333553484589
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0myAYyBx0k
    Quicktime, LAN, 320x240, Deinterlace
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2101048758986639008
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rExhbmBksVs
    Quicktime, LAN
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8289794703671829891
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-nwmyJ-y_g
    Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1116022416411494165
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Wch75hTzs
    You can get the whole list on each site with following URL
    http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=imovie-quality-comparison
    http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=C0D08A3D961234E4
    Each video has cross reference URL in the description which link to the same video posted on other site.
    Currently my choice is "Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace" on Google Video. Only thing I don't like is doubling of image for fast moving part, which somehow disappears if I reduce the size to 320x200, but then it is too blurry when displayed in full screen.
    None is usable on YouTube. They look horrible, but there are much better quality videos on YouTube.
    Since there are so many knobs to play around on each option, I'm at loss what to play around with. I did quick things like increasing the size to 720x480 or increasing the frame rate, but surprisingly, none seems to make any difference when filtered through their encoder.
    I like to solicit suggestions on what option to try. I'll export the same video with that options, upload it to both sites and we can take a look.

    Hi — I also found you via Slashdot. You've gone to a good amount of effort to solve this scientifically.
    I'm just here to say: Face it, you need to go past the built-in options. Here's what you need to know:
    1. YouTube is 320x240 (or 320 by anything lower, for widescreen). You must scale to that.
    2. YouTube is 30fps maximum, so if you already have that, set that. If you have 25 or 24, use that. If you have 50, it looks better with 25 (I've tried).
    3. The interlacing choice is purely up to your original video. Does it have 480 lines or 576 lines? And if so, does it have fluid "live camera" motion, unlike film? If your answer is yes to both, then you have interlacing. Since YouTube doesn't do interlacing, you need to remove it.
    4. Both YouTube and Google Video have a problem with the (seemingly open, standard) MP4 format. We think it's because of the VLC software they used. Anyway, use a QuickTime MOV file for the wrapping container, so export to QuickTime Movie (not MPEG-4). But use the H.264 codec. It's good.
    OK, that's it. It's your pretty complete, simple guide to making good YouTube videos.
    Don't forget to use a tripod and external microphones, and lay off using the zoom too much. That's my other advice, for earlier in the process. Now you've learnt everything technical The rest is only down to viral marketing and you can learn all that by example out on YouTube.

  • Google, Yahoo, and very random websites will not open

    Google.com will not open, yahoo will not open and anything google- or yahoo-related will not open (including their search engines, which is killing me) as well as very random websites. Other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari.
    Mac OS 10.6.8. The other iMac in the house (OS 10.7.5) is working fine as well as our Macbook, iPad, and three iPhones. I believe the problem started after we changed Verizon modems and wi-fi networks, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of  installed on this problem machine. When I do a repair verification on the Utility Disk I get a lot of messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    It is the same with the other accounts on the machine, but not with any other Mac device in my house, including another iMac. I'm going to reword the question more clearly below, so that maybe others will have a solution. Thank you very much for your effort, Old Toad.
    Google, yahoo, and apple sites (including their search engines) will not open as well as a few random websites. Most other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari, so it does not appear to be a browser-specific issue. The operating system on the iMac is a Mac OS 10.6.8. The other iMac in the house (OS 10.7.5) is working fine as well as our Macbook, iPad, and three iPhones. I mention the other devices because I believe the problem started after we changed the Verizon modem and wi-fi network, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of installed on this problem machine.
    What I've done so far:
    Cleared all history on, and reset, both browsers.
    Run a "repair disk permissions" on the Utility Disk and I've received many messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Cleared the caches in my hard drive Library and Users Library folders (the Internet is now faster for the sites that do work)
