IMac will not load web pages, but high speed internet.

Hi all,
I upgraded my internet yesterday to 100Mbps, and received a modem + router combo from my ISP (Charter). It is a Netgear CG3000D and I have another router hooked up, which is a Cisco/Linksys E3200. The problem I'm encountering is extremely slow page speeds, it'll take from 3 to 5 minutes for pages to load. My first thought was DNS, but of course I tried Google's Public DNS and OpenDNS. Unfortunately, they did not work. I called both the ISP and router manufacturer, but still no luck. I called Apple, but I'm not paying $49 for additional support. I'm assuming my Mac is caching something it's not supposed to. I do not live near an Apple store to see what's wrong. I went into safe mode and the issue still hasn't been resolved. There's multiple devices working fine, and I've noticed when my Mac is connected to my router, my PC goes haywire as well. And FYI -- I connected my iMac directly to the ISP's modem/router and it didn't work either.

Please help! Much appreciated.
Take care,
Tyler

  • Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

    Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

    After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

  • FF 5.0 will not load web pages

    I D/L'd FF5.0. iMac 10.6.8 The browser opens but URLs will not load. All I get is the error message FF is having PROBLEM LOADING THIS PAGE. Well it seems to have a problem loading any page. FF 3.6.19 worked just fine. Why wouldn't FF 5.o work. I sure don't want to screw around with any settings unless I know what the problem is. Fortunately I reinstalled my old version of FF using 'Time Machine." Thank you Apple.

    I guess that was a possibility
    I gave up on version 8
    I uninstalled it, googled version 7 and installed that and now it runs fine when I switch user to user
    Thanks for the help I'll take it into consideration if I update again

  • Device Central will not load web pages

    Started using Device Central to view a web site I'm designing
    for a client. Loading within Dreamweaver and Device Central, pages
    will not load, the program stalls. I have had no luck in finding
    information on-line and cannot re install the application ( it's
    not listed in the reinstall items on my Adobe Web Premium CD ) .
    Some help would be much appreciated!! Running OS X 10.5 on a 2.4
    GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Book Pro.

    Right but like so many things, what works for you does not
    work for me (this was while loading a locally stored, plain old
    html page in the same manner you used).
    Here
    is a screenshot of what I get which is then followed by
    this
    screenshot.
    Perhaps it is a Mac only problem. Until Adobe does or says
    something about it... who knows.

  • Firefox 8.0 will not load web pages for multiple Windows XP users

    We're running Windows XP 5.1 SP3 with two user accounts. After upgrading to Firefox 8.0, Firefox will no longer load web pages for the second user when the first user is logged in and running Firefox. (We typically use "Switch User" as opposed to logging out when taking turns at the computer.)

  • Firefox does not load web pages but gives no error message

    Hi guys,
    I have been having this problem occasionaly for the past few weeks and can't remember making any changes to my computer or firefox that would have prompted it. Basically what happens is that when I try to load a web page, it says "loading..." at the top of the tab as if it is going to the page, but then nothing happens. It just says "loading..." and never goes to an error message or anything. It will stay like this for hours. I tried clearing the cache and history and it doesn't do anything. Internet explorer works perfectly so I know it's not a network connection problem. When I quit and restart firefox everything works again. It is not specific to any one site, it happens for all sites. I didn't find anything matching my problem on the help pages. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks very much,
    Ben

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 boot 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.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Safari will not load web page

    I run a network of 10 macs, all run OSX 10.4.11 using Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2) Two of the macs (One: imac 2.4 Ghz intel with 3 gb ram; the second computer MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 2 gb ram) Cannot access one website by typing the name (www.visiondc.com) -- I can only access this by entering the IP address. The reset of the network does not have any issues accessing the website. The interesting point I cannot access the site using other web browsers (firefox, opera) unless I use the IP address.
    Can anyone help?

    I have EXACTLY the same problem...I'm running Safari 3.0.4 Public Beta as well and this is driving me insane. It's completely inconsistent - some web sites are fine, while others are not. I have tested the same site from another PC (running Windows/IE) and it works fine so I know it's not my ISP.
    I'm also trying to find out how I can downgrade Safari to the non-beta...please let me know if you know how.
    There are also many hits on the web with this problem but no resolution...I'm still looking and will post an update when I find something.
    So far the problem seems to be associates with the DNS lookup either timing out/not working etc.

  • Safari will not load any pages but chrome does on my ipad3

    When I click on a link in safari, it takes forever to load and often says server not found. Yet, if I use chrome, no problems. Unfortunately safari is the default. Any solutions possible for safari? Thanks

    This is strange.  Our two iPads and work laptops (Windows) have no problem accessing the web so I know the Comcast cable internet connection and Motorola wireless router are working just fine.  I did hook up a new wireless Brother printer and have the two affected Mac's set up to print to them. I am starting to think that maybe the issue causing my problems and the software update was just coincidental.  Any recommendations are appreciated.  Thanks for reading my discussion.

  • Safari will not load web pages

    HI
    I have had an IPad for 6 weeks or so and it has been working fine. However starting today when we select the safari icon I get a blank screen and the google box. Tapping on the google box brings up the keypad. After tapping any key the screen reverts to the main screen with all the icons on. Could it be my Wi Fi system or perhaps something to do with the somertime time change.

    If the reset doesn't work, try these steps.
    Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if it works now.
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting your network settings. Tap Settings, then tap General on the left side, then scroll down on the right side and tap Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings at the top. Reboot your iPad as described above. After restarting, Go to settings, then select WiFi, select your network name, enter your network password, launch Safari and see if this works.

  • IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen.  In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

    iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
    internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet.  I OS 10.9.5.  Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

    iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
    iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
    10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
    10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.

    Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

  • Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message  says.
    Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
    Where are you seeing this problem ?.

  • Why does my browser not load web pages?

    I have been having trouble with my browser not loading web pages.  After clicking on a link or typing in a web page, the page will usually not load.  I have to reload the page a few times, then it will work fine.  I have this problem with all web pages.  As for pages like youtube, if I can get a video to start playing, it will stop loading at random times.  I can back up in the video and start playing again, sometimes this will lead to the video playing further, only to stop loading again.  Help please!

    Try streching it with the bottom left corner. Also try view zom in. You can also try safari preferences resetsafari.

  • My browser will not load a page or update unless I am actively moving my cursor or typing. If I select a page and don't do anything then it doesn't load at all. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    Hello KCC4ME,
    You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

    If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).
