Having a problem loading certain sites

Ok so I'm beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out. It's becoming more and more frequent that there are certain sites that I cannot access, in any browser, on my macbook pro running Snow Leopard. My router and everything is configured fine because I have no problems on any other computer in my home. For example there is a website I cannot access survivethenights.com which is a project I backed on kickstarter. I can access it from any computer but my macbook pro and no browser will load it. I tried pinging the address from the terminal and it pings just fine! I even tried loading the page straight from the ip address it returned in the ping and it's a no go. So I was thinking maybe a firewall, DNS, or proxy problem right? Disabled the firewall, flushed my DNS cache, tried using Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8, checked all the DNS and proxy settings, even went as far as going into the system library preferences and deleting the SystemConfiguration folder and restarting my computer and rebuilding it. Still a no. It's been happening for a while now and I have put up with it for long enough.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help. I followed your advice but "Apple Software Update" wasn't listed anywhere under "All Programs". But, now knowing it was the Apple Installer, I went to the Control Panel/"Add or Remove Programs" and found "Apple Software Update" listed there. I clicked on "Change" and selected "Repair" after it completed repairing the software, I tried loading iTunes and was successful. Thanks again for your quick response.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Problems with loading certain sites

    Hello there,
    I'm using Safari 1.3.2 /v312.6) under OS X 10.3.9 on a G4 machine. Since a few weeks, my Safari causes troubles in loading certain sites. For example: www.Gemm.com and then: advanced search. This won't load! I found out, that it will load, when I disable 'Javascript' in the Safari preferences. The same problem occures with some other sites, but try the GEMM one as an example if you want. The Javascript is up to date, however only actualized with Apple's software update and never using any other resources. Other browsers, as Camino or Opera 9 are working fine. Could anyone give me an advice, what to do? Thanks for your reply.
    G4 and G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I was actually coming in to post the same question but mine is slightly different.
    One of my sites will not display correctly in Safari on any of our computers. I have two sites that work fine but when I try to view www.pokerplasm.com in Safari it doesn't display correctly at all. Unlike the previous post disabling javascript does not help at all. When viewed in Safari the site that usually is well formatted, etc. when viewed in FireFox, Explorer, etc. displays as a solid brown page with the normally formated text spread across it as just broken up text and separated by lines of numbers. Banners that are usually located on the right side of the screen are moved into the main body text and placed at the bottom [or not displayed at all], and any links to forums, etc. are not shown at all.
    Does anyone know why Safari doesn't display these sites correctly. We validated the site last night thinking that may help, but it made no difference.
    Thanks for your help on this.

  • Problems loading certain websites

    I am having a problem loading several websites that I know are hosted on the same server. Three of these sites I have created. I am not able to load them using my iMac, iPad, or iPhone. The browser I am using is Safari and Mobile Safari. This issue has started suddenly. If I turn wi-fi off on my iPhone, I am able to load the sites thru the cellular connection. This makes me think the culprit is either my cable modem or my AirPort Extreme. I have had friends visit the sites with no issues.
    The sites I am having problems with are...
    www.hbsouthprinting.com
    www.kleinscuba.com
    www.parkbaptistchurch.org
    www.mgmoptics.net
    Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Problems loading certain web pages

    Lately, in the past week or two, I have been noticing that Safari wont load certain web pages. It jsut stops and then I get a blank white page with no error message. I have noticed this mostly with Facebook, but also found the same problems with Evite.com when I click the login link. I have tried using Firefox and it seems to d better, especially with Facebook, but it did hang up on it one time. I cant get to the login page on Evite with either browser. I am using OpenDNS, but dont have these things blocked. I can access them fine from a PC laptop through the same connection via my wireless modem.

    HI,

    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utiities). Select Passwords on the left then delete the Evite under Names on the right. Launch Safari or Firefox, go to the Evite site and login. After typing in your password, click Always Allow
    I opened Keychain, but there is nothing in there for Evite under passwords?
    Try Safari Maintenance
    Repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Tried this, but still having problems in both Safari and Firefox. Facebook seems to be random, more often not working than it is. Still no login page with Evite?

  • MTU Size Problem Loading Certain Webpages

    Hello Colleagues,
    I'm having a strange problem dealing with MTU sizes and loading certain webpages. I am aware of the default Microsoft MTU of 1500 and also using GRE IPSEC Tunnels recommended at MTU size 1400. I have since manually set some users PC's to MTU of 1400 and most of those users are experiencing no issues. However, there are a few users who still experience website loading issues even though I have manually changed their MTU size to 1400.
    These are domain accounts will the same image loads on their machines, so all have the same permissions, rights, firewall settings, etc. They all use the same LAN, switches, and routers.

    UPDATE
    I have since applied the following config to the tunnel interfaces:
    ip mtu 1400
    ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
    tunnel path-mtu-discovery
    This worked and I was able to reset each users PC to default MTU size of 1500, but only until just now. I got a call from a user who explained that he wasn't able to reach some websites, again.
    Sure enough, I've just confirmed that all of the users are unable to access the websites any longer.
    This is crazy, does anyone have any ideas?

  • Firefox sometimes loads certain sites, most times won't load.

    After I installed the noscript addon, it seems my firefox won't load certain pages. Firefox also updated itself on the same day.. which of these two are my problem? Some videos will also not load(e.g. youtube videos will say an error has occurred and keeps telling me to try later). It was fine yesterday... but today it seems all messed up. and Yes I have allowed noscript to allow these sites... I just don't know whats wrong..

  • Safari Will Not Load Certain Sites

    About a couple of weeks ago, myspace.com was giving me a "can’t connect to the server" error immediately after i press enter on my iBook G4. And back in January chugworth.com was doing the same thing and continues to this day. Both sites will load on any PC and ony my Mac Mini on the same wireless connection. I've tried absolutely everything. I've emptied the cache, reset Safari, repaired permissions, run Yasu, and attempted to access the sites in Firefox and Camino.
    Anyone have any solutions?

    Any updates on this problem? I am experiencing the "white screen" problem with the www.livedownloads.com website. I have not experienced the problem with any other sites. Just this one so far.
    I know it's not a problem with the site because I can access the site from my Internet Explorer browser at work.
    Also, some other sites are "acting funny". Specifically, if any links would normally spawn a new page, Safari is generating an error message.
    This really stinks. I tried using Firefox also, but it does not work either. Must be something in the operating system and/or the manner in which OS X interacts with Safari.

  • Problem loading certain websites

    For the past year or so, my iMac has (running Mac OS X 10.5.8) has been giving me trouble when it comes to loading certain websites. The reason why I think it's my computer as opposed to my browser or my internet connection is because these websites will load on other computers connected to the wireless network in my home, and because the problem persists with any browser I attempt to use - I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari and none of them load these websites. (Also, they load fine when I'm on the internet via my iPod touch.)
    The websites in question include about.com, ehow.com, and any website with a .me extension. There are others, but those are the three that come to mind at the moment. When I try to go on about.com for example, the page simply does not load. There's not even an attempt to load the page. It's very frustrating because I see no reason why these websites shouldn't work.
    I have tried clearing the caches, history and preferences for all browsers, as well as logging in as a different user on my computer and seeing if these websites worked - they didn't work, even as a different user. I was told it could be a problem with the .plist files, so I dragged all of them into the trash and tried loading these webpages, but it still didn't work. Does anyone know what else it could be? Also, I apologize if my description of the problem was unclear.

    Some other things you can try:
    1. Run Software Update (in the Apple Menu) and make sure you have all available Apple updates for OS X.
    2. Go to Adobe.com and make sure you have the latest versions of Shockwave and Flash for your computer installed.
    3. Go to System Preferences > Parental Controls and see if any restrictions have been established.
    4. Go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new user account. Try using your browsers from this account. If they work, there is a problem with your "old" account. Next steps will depend on how much time and effort you're willing to devote to troubleshooting.
    5. Power cycle your router and computer.
    6. Go to System Preferences > Network. Highlight your router (assuming you're using a wireless connection) and select the "TCP/IP" panel. Click on the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.

  • Crashes with dbs dreaded blue screen when loading certain sites -

    Periodically - probably twice a week I load a screen that causes Firefox to crash - I get the dread blue screen so can't get stats although I do see errors when I log back in and bring up firefox.
    You have the right config details.
    Let me know what other info I can send you
    By the way - when I restart Firefox it generally gives me the Oops message and lets me pick whether I want to continue or restart - I restart as if I don't I get blue screen again

    Although turning off java script did help on many websites, it didn't solve the problem on all of them, but that could be the website itself.
    Unfortunately I had to turn java script back on again because most forums or discussion group web sites seem to use it somewhere.
    Only turning it on when required didn't work either because you have to start safari for the change to take effect.
    However, one thing I noticed - and it happens quite consistently - if the download stops (As seen in the status bar at the top), if you the click on the 'stop' and then on the 'reload' button, the site loads right away on the second try.
    Would that confirm that the issue is with java script or would that point to another problem with these sites?

  • Time Capsule will not load certain sites

    When I've selected my Time Capsule as my network, internet browsers run slow and certain sites will not load at all.  In particular, Yahoo will not load, so I have trouble accessing my email.  It works fine when I switch the network to the wireless router supplied by my ISP.  I'd rather default to the Time Capsule to use the backup function automatically.  Does the Time Capsule have the ability to block sites?  If so, how do I clear them out?

    Ok.. you missed the point.. sorry if I used jargonese.
    Factory reset the TC and start over.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Give the TC a simple name.. eg TCgen5 (or whatever Generation it is).
    Give the wireless a simple name.. eg TCwifi when you do the setup with the airport utility.
    DO NOT USE APPLE NAMES recommended by the utility. They are WRONG.
    For PC they need windows compatible names. You are not giving them windows compatible names with
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
    But TCgen5 is fine.
    What modem are you using?? Make and model please.
    If the TC has a double NAT issue it will say so.. ie in the airport utility you will an error.. double NAT. Please if you have a double NAT error do not ignore it.. fix it. ie the TC should be in bridge not router mode.

  • Safari doesn't load certain sites properly (anything better out there)?

    Hi there,
    Safari is playing tricks and is not willing (capable?) of reading certain sites (mainly banking). Colors are not correct and I can't see the menus although they are there since I can click on the white background and be directed to a desired service (after long series of trial and error...). On a second case.. the bank site shows a message saying the login page is not available (????? strange???)..I did try the same page with PC (windows) and got there very easily. I just can't use my Mac for trivial activites like surfing the internet whilst being able actually to read the site ..to banking services.
    Any quick fix for this issues? Is there a better ibrowser for Mac? O should I sell my new Mac and reinvest in PC?
    Thank you for your interest and anwer,
    PV

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I am sure that others will express their own opinions, but I find Firefox 2 to be a reliable OS X browser.

  • Safari sporadically won't load certain sites.

    So I have been sorting through the frustrations dealing with what I think is a pretty widespread issue. I chose to make a new post as all my searches found the issue tacked on to other questions, and I think this is pertinent to it's own post.
    Since Leopard, Safari will at random not load one site. It will say it cannot connect to the server, and that it is either down or I am not connected to the internet. No everyone says "Thats a network issue", but it isn't. It's a Safari issue. Currently the website not working is www.apple.com, pure fun there, and as we can see, I found a way around it into the discussions. Dropping www. has no affect and both versions of the url work fine in Camino/Firefox. It simply isn't a network issue.
    It's getting a bit frustrating to have no way to resolve this. Quitting Safari doesn't help, renewing the DHCP lease doesn't help. I am left at a loss. Anyone find any resolution to this?

    An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea to use those DNS settings can be read here:
    http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
