Help!  Why won't certain pages load?????

I have no clue what has happened! I had some airport extreme trouble (no clue why, but my extreme is constantly dropping my signal, but that is another post!) and did my usual steps to correct it (unplug and replug several times). Now I have an internet connection again. My network diagnostics show my internet as "working." HOWEVER, some websites don't work and I cannot log into any messenger account through Adium. For instance, CNN and Google don't work. Why the selectivity? What is going on???? I have no clue how to resolve this. Help me!

You may be having a DNS problem. Try going to System Preferences>Network and click on the Advanced button and then select the DNS tab. Delete any DNS that you might have and use the DNS's from OpenDNS (use the plus key to add):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
See if you can access those websites now.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • Why won't a page load unless I move the cursor

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why won't my fonts load?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5 Lion, and fonts that I purchased in the past and used on my old PowerBook won't load using FontBook!? Take for instance, Cachet. When I do a get info on the all the files in the Cachet font folder, they don't even say what kind of font they are, e.g., TrueType, Postscript Type 1, etc. I probably purchased Postscript. And the thumbnails are blank icons too.

    i run into the same problem the last days.
    using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
    everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
    found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
    then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
    [14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
    yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
    first load after login is => everything ok!
    after following an internal link => no webfonts!
    after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
    but that can only be a workaround!
    why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
    what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

  • Help why won't photoshop let me edit my photos anymore?

    Why won't photoshop let me edit my photos I am a photographer and my photos need more editing but photoshop will open the tools but nothing happens with any of the tools!

    Too little information …
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Why don' t certain pages print from ipod Touch User Guide - Oct 2013 release

    I downloaded the User Guide for ipod Touch - October 2013 release and certain pages do not print -- Page 13, Page 33, Page 34 -- just get blacked out boxes, The other pages (total manual about 135) all printed fine. I've tried printing the pages alone and same thing happens.

    What app did you use to print them
    Do they view OK on the computer?
    I would try redownloading the printing those pages. Maybe they got corrupted.

  • Certain pages load and then automatically advance to another page.

    Certain pages on the affected site automatically advance to another page that presents advertising related info. If I press the back key it goes back but then immediately advances again to the same page. I also have a lap top and this also occurs on this device.

  • Why won't weather gadgets load on my home page?

    I have tried a number of gadgets on the igHome site (same ones as I used on my old Google home page) and none of them work. All the other gadgets work well...it is just the weather gadgets (no matter which one I try) that do not function. News and sports and other element all update and function normally and regularly...make any sense???

    Cymcd111:
    Your initial thread was posted almost a month ago and you haven't responded yet until today. If no one replies to your thread, then your thread gets pushed down the workflow to make way for the incoming support requests.<br>
    From what Ed said, that link is probably the best route to go since we can't do anything about weather gadgets not loading as it's a part of IGHome and not Firefox.<br>
    P.S. http://ighome.uservoice.com/ is not run by Mozilla. I thought I would clear that up since your post made it seem like you thought Mozilla ran it<br>

  • Why won't my macbook load Facebook?

    My macbook has quit loading one specific page - my facebook page. It loads any other page I try. It just won't load facebook. How can I get my macbook to load my facebook page again?

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Sometimes the cause of the problem may be an outage in Apple's network, in which case none of the steps below will have any effect. You just have to wait for the outage to be fixed. That should rarely, if ever, take more than a few hours.
    Step 1
    Sign in to the App Store by selecting Sign In from the Store menu. If you're already signed in, sign out and then sign in again.
    Step 2
    Log out or restart the computer.
    Step 3
    Remove or disable "LittleSnitch" or any similar third-party software that blocks outgoing network connections according to the developer's instructions.
    Step 4
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode.)
    Step 5
    If possible, connect to a different network and test.
    Step 6
    There are reports that resetting the PRAM may solve the problem in some cases. I can't confirm.

  • Why won't my podcasts load to my ipod

    I reset my ipod a week ago and now the podcasts won't load.  The podcasts are visible in the iTunes software and when I press sync it looks like there are loats more things going to be loaded, but then the graphice at the bottom of the iTunes page goes back down again and won't load the stuff.  The items are all ticked in the iTunes dialogue, so i don't understand why they won't load.  I tried iCloud but went back to the pc loading as well but can't see how that can make any difference.
    Anybody?
    Skeerwud

    You said "Then when you run an update it just goes back as it was. Any ideas?" What does this mean?
    You can only sync apps from the one syncing computer you can have.
    Did you setup the iPod via wifi?
    Have you tried restoring from backup on this computer/iTunes library?
    The app assume the apps are compatible with your iPod

  • Why won't youtube videos load on my mac?

    I recently purchased a macbook pro with retina and i can't seem to be able to watch youtube videos. The problem is not all the plug ins and everything, I have all of those, the problem is that they won't load. Maybe a few seconds of the video will load and then it will stop to buffer. My internet connection is perfectly fine considering I just watched several movies streaming on Netflix and websites have no trouble loading. Sometimes putting videos in their lowest resolution works but I have this nice and fancy retina display and I'd sure like to utilize it. Any help?

    1.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow all other plug-ins
    2. Check  whether you are currently  in  YouTube HTML 5 trial.
         http://www.youtube.com/html5
        At the bottom  left of the page  uncheck the box for
       "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
    3. Reset Safari / delete cookies.
        Click Safari in the menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
        Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
        Check the box next to "Remove all website data".

  • Why won't my browser load?

    Hello. I hope someone can tell me what is wrong with my browser, because it's been doing weird things. Since yesterday, my browser has been loading without the address bar. I'll hit Command T to access Top Sites in another tab. The space where the address bar is supposed to be is blank. The Top Sites are there. When I click on a page, the browser gets stuck and will not open the site. Or it will access the site, but the page is dim and frozen. I have to restart my computer to get the browser working again. It's happening frequently since yesterday. I've never seen my browser malfunction like this before. Please tell me what is wrong? I have attached screenshots of the problem. Thanks for the help.
    FYI, I was informed months ago that Apple won't be sending me software updates anymore, so my browser has not been updated since a year or maybe more.

    As you are running Leopard 10.5.8 that would be Safari 5.0.6?
    Yes, no further updates for Leopard, and if yours is a PPC iMac that is as far as it can go. If it is an Intel iMac you could upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Try deleting Safari's Preference file from Home/Library/Preferences, then repairing permissions, then rebooting.
    Reset your Safari preferences, such as the toolbar etc. OK now?

  • HELP-Why won't this function return a value

    I want to get this XML data OUT of the function, but it just
    won't work. What I am doing wrong??? Tracing "xmlList" gives me the
    output i want IN the function, but if I can't get it OUT. If i set
    the function to "String", I still can't get the function to return
    a value or anyway to get this data OUT of the function. Please
    help.
    var xml:XML;
    var xmlList:XMLList;
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("data/imagesT.xml"));
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    function xmlLoaded(event:Event):String
    xml = XML(event.target.data);
    xmlList = xml.children()[0].child(2);

    It won't though. Tracing xmlList outside (i.e. after it runs)
    the function produces null with the function set to void. Inside
    the function tracing producing the correct data.

  • Why won't my pages documents open?

    So recently I tried to open up pages. If I click on the icon on the bottom, it won't work. It also has a weird black ring around the top. When I try to open up any other pages documents through Finder I get a message saying "the document "____" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
    How do I fix this??? Help please!!!!!

    If you bought it on disk then it was installed inside the iWork folder inside the Applications folder. If it is no longer there and Pages documents no longer open then you have apparently managed to trash it.
    Reinstall from the DVD is probably the fastest way to get it all back working, make sure you update iWork after the install, the DVD version will not be the latest.
    It sounds also like you need to learn more about using your Mac. There are classes at the AppleStore and also tutorials in the general Support section of Apple's website, the one you see before you get into these communities.
