Having trouble blocking specific websites using terminal mode.

Having trouble blocking specific websites using terminal mode.  Using 10.6.3, Safari.  I have tried nano sudo and nano ipfw suggestions found online, nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Sorry...never mind.  This one worked.

  • I need directions on how to set up the Blocksi addon to block specific websites

    I need to block specific websites like Facebook and downloaded Blocksi but I don't know how to use it and can't find specific directions.

    You can block specific websites by going to Blocksi options and entering each website on the Blacklist tab. If you have further questions, please consider joining the new Google Group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/blocksi-users

  • When I open my firefox browser my Jeeves is missing and am having trouble getting onto websites

    Can't see Jeeves on the opening browser page and I am having trouble getting onto websites any ideas.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • TS1398 I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2

    I am having trouble accessing certain websites on my ipad2 which I used to be able to access. all I get is a white/blank screen. One site is www.fodors.com. another is http://www.baseballhq.com/members/. Any suggestions?

    I have no trouble with them. Try this and see if resolves the issue,
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't help, quit Safari and then relaunch it.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    If that doesn't help, try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Blocking specific websites

    How do I block specific websites without blocking my family members from the whole site itself?
    i.e.: I want to block www.youtube.com/user/xxxxxx
    but I want to keep www.youtube.com

    Set up a separate user account for you children and manage it using Parental Controls (System Preferences).

  • I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it?

    I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it to my new Apple ID?

    Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

  • [SOLVED] Having trouble making QT apps use GTK theme

    Hello everyone, I'm having trouble making QT apps use my GTK theme in openbox.
    Some apps seem to work just fine but others don't.
    ^Such as above, as you can see VLC is working, as is qtconfig, but k9copy and k3b are not.
    I've did the suggestions that are listed in the wiki. (http://tinyurl.com/ybhb7yr)
    And even rebooted after I did them, still no go.
    My .gtkrc-2.0 file simply contains:
    gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks_blackblue"
    gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
    Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working with k9copy and k3b/how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Yes, but don't they use QT?
    And if not, what do they use? lol. And is there anyway to make them use my GTK theme?

  • Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5. Updates turn out to be incompatible with my system. What should I do short of trashing the wonderful computer and spending cash I don't have on a new iMac?

    Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5 OSX 10.4.11. Attempts to upgrade FireFox or Safari results in being incompatible with with this system. Tried to locate earlier versions to replace upgraded incompatible software only to find that problems have worsened with crashing results. What should I do short of trashing this wonderful G5 and purchasing a new iMac which I really can't afford?
    Chuck's Dilema

    Hi Chuck,
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
    Also...
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

    Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

    My ipad is connected to my wifi, however when i try to sign my ipad into facetime is says that it is having trouble connecting. I use my wifi to get on the internet on my iPad so i have no idea what the problem is. Help Me

    - Did it successfully connect to the network before?
    - Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
    - Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    - Have you reset your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Powered off and then back on your router
    - The troubleshooting here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    -When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod?  If not try that.
    - If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection.  If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

  • Having trouble blocking website

    First time posting here. I will try and explain the situation as best I can.
    I am trying to block Youtube.com for some accounts on our school network as it eats a lot of bandwidth, which being in a remote area we don't have a ton of.
    Student network accounts authenticate on an OS X 10.5 server, while teachers have admin accounts on their computers. Both students and staff connect to the internet through a proxy.
    I can't find a way to block it at the proxy without blocking it for everyone, and the teachers still want access to the website.
    I have used Workgroup Manager to block Youtube for the student accounts but it only effects computers running 10.5. We still have labs and carts that are running 10.4 which the settings I have set do not work for.
    I have tried setting the hosts file on the 10.4 machines to block the website but so far that doesn't seem to work. I haven't messed with the hosts file before though, so I might be doing something wrong.
    For instance in the hosts file I have:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 youtube.com
    I then use: lookupd -flushcache to flush the dns and reset safari/empty the cache in Safari but I can still access the website.
    Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi Vekz, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    On Tiger/10.4.x at least, you can't use wildcards in the hosts file.
    It must include the full name or IP for every instance, like this from mine...
    127.0.0.1 ad.ca.doubleclick.net
    127.0.0.1 ad.de.doubleclick.net
    127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
    127.0.0.1 ad.es.doubleclick.net
    127.0.0.1 ad.fr.doubleclick.net
    127.0.0.1 ad.free6.com
    127.0.0.1 ad.it.doubleclick.net
    For you tube I'd try...
    Name www.youtube.com
    IP address: 74.125.45.100
    sjl-mbox1.sjl.youtube.com
    sjl-ins1.sjl.youtube.com
