IMac won't load some web pages

I just got wireless internet out on my farm and hooked up my fairly new IMac G5 to it. When I connect it directly to the antennae (not through a router) everything works great. When I hook it through a router ( I have used linksys wireless g and a netgear wgr613 v6) the Imac will only load certain web pages. e.g. It will load Apple.com, but won't play the Macworld keynote address. It won't load Ebay at all. It will load cnn.com and others just fine. When I bypass the router, everything loads and works. I have also taken the IMac to work and hooked up to our office ethernet through a router, multiple wireless access points, and hubs, and the IMac works great all of the time. I tried the linksys first and it works for a little while and then fizzles away to nothing working. I then upgraded firmware and it worked a little while longer before dying. The netgear works all of the time for some, but not everything. When I hookup my Windows XP notebook, it works all of the time on either router. I have tried both routers either wireless, or wired, with the same results. Thanks....

Yes, that did it. I put in the two DNS numbers for my ISP and that solved the problem. Still don't understand why that caused it, but yet worked sometimes. Oh well.....Thank you

Safari won't load some web pages.

Ever since installing Mavericks, Safari won't load some web pages (including these Apple support pages). I'm able to load the pages using Chrome or Firefox. Does anyone know of any settings in Safari 7 or the Mavericks system preferences that would be causing this?

I had the same problem... I ran disk repair and repaired all permissions on the HD then reopened safari now it's working fine.

I am unable to load some web pages, I get an error message saying unable to load page due to invalid or unsupported form of compression, this happens on the BBC news page for example. Any ideas how to overcome???

OS is Windows7. I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox

I'm using Windows 8.1 and the browser won't load any web page. I downloaded the latest one from the website. Any help would be great. All other browsers work.

Safari not loading some web pages

Got a problem with Safari where it won't load certain web pages. This happens when I try to click on the buy button on certain web sites (such as Amazon), but not on all web sites. Safari tries to load the page but stops before any content is downloaded. I've tried re-installing the software, re-setting Safari, emptying the cache, cookies are enabled, and proxies are unchecked. If I run Internet Explorer I can access the pages that Safari won't download. Anyone got any suggestions????

Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so, check the Little Snitch preference panel (under System Preferences) to make sure that there are not any Little Snitch rules denying Safari access to any ports. If only HTTPS sites are being effected, specifically check the rule for Port 443, as Safari needs Little Snitch to allow connections to that.
I am not sure, but I think the update changed these rules around, at least on my computer.

Safari will not finish loading some web pages

I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc). It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
Some web pages work fine, but some don't. For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari. Links or images will be missing. I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form. I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine. Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem. I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference. Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user. I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect. Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement. At least I think I was in safe mode. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key. The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode." Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari. Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you. I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me. After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer. I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
Here was the solution:
I opened Finder
Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
Opened Preferences
Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again. Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages - Happens in all browers - Won't do windows updates

This server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with SP1) is used to host thin clients as well as RDP sessions. One morning the office is fine, they come back from lunch and all of the sudden they can't load certain web pages, such as adobe.com
and pandora.com to name a couple. This was roughly 3 days ago.
1.) I have tried machines that are not connected to this server (not thin client or RDP), but are on the same network, they can load up any web page fine with no issues.
2.) On the server I have tried Opera, Chrome, IE and Firefox, all have the same exact problem.
3.) Tried different DNS servers just to be sure, even though it only effects the server and no one else.
Based on these facts I know that it is something wrong with the server, but not tied to a specific brower. In all browsers when you load up a page in question it just sits there with a blank screen trying to load, it never generates any errors.
The Event Viewer is also clean, no errors. So with no errors I have had trouble trying to find a starting place for this. Things I have tried:
1.) ipconfig /flushdns to try and clear out any DNS issues
2.) Changing the DNS servers for the server to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2
3.) Scanning for Viruses and Malware/Spyware
4.) Checking proxy settings on the server
5.) Updating and then removing Adobe Flash (thought it was tied to flash at first). Problem persists even with no flash player installed.
6.) Completed a failed update of .net, no effect
7.) Loading up browsers in debug mode to try and find anything in the site code that I could relate between failed sites. I found nothing I could identify
Of all issues to finally be stumped on this seems like an easy one, but I can't even begin to come up with an idea at this point.
I have tried to lay out all of the facts that I know as plainly as I can. I am hoping that someone has seen this before as this issue is effecting a number of differnt users and keeping them from doing portions of their job.
Help is most appreciated, thank you!

I was able to figure out a solution.
CAUSE:
It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers. It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups. i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
SOLUTION:
To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

New I pad won't load certain web pages unless I clear cache and history every time

New I pad 64gb with Telstra pre paid.
Full signal 3G
Everything up to date.
This is the scinario I am getting, and it's getting worse. I am actually writing this on my other I pad as the new one won't load this page!!!! Not happy!
Lets say I'm on e bay searching stuff and suddenly it won't load any more pages from the search results. I can open a new tab and load other sites so the internet is working, but at this instant i cannot look at any eBay pages on the new I pad.
I go into settings and clear browsing history and the cookies, go back into safari and I can now load eBay and view the page that wouldnt load before. Sometimes this method will work for an hour, sometimes only 2-3 mins.
This fault is happening more and more frequently, I was on yahoo earlier reading news. Then the page wouldn't load. Couldn't load previous page either exactly the same as with eBay.
So I go on apple.com.au and sign in to support to ask them. Page won't load . GRRRR!
Clear the cache etc and it's fine for a few mins then the same so I am writing this off our old I pad 1, using the Internet tethered from the new iPad that wouldn't load this page
It's happening more and more I don't know if it's a problem with Telstra or with the I pad? Is this a common problem?
I have tried Mercury browser and Terra browser and the fault remains.
Seems to be on any website it can happen now.
And now when it does, I can't check e mail, load maps, carry out speed tests anything Internet related.
I can tether the I pad and it works fine on my old one.
Maybe faulty I pad?

I'm thinking it may be a DNS issue. I cleared my DNS cache using OnyX and my problem went away. OnyX is a free utility and is very useful. You can get it here:
http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=b94ceb83c26f4f935b661c52a5f8bff1
Ever since I did that, I haven't had any other issues. Good luck!

My MacBook Pro won't load any web page I have restarted and safe booted still nothing

My MacBook Pro will not load any web pages. Safari opens but when I click on top sites or type in a website it will start but not get past half of the address before stopping and going no further. I have restarted and restarted in safe boot and still no change. I'm am connected to the internet wirelessly and my iPad mini is connecting to the internet wirelessly fine, so I think the internet is fine. What can I try next?
Thanks

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Won't load certain web pages

Hi,
Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS0 as defined in RFC 2671) allow DNS requestors to advertise the size of their UDP packets and facilitate the transfer of packets larger than
512 octets, the original DNS restriction for UDP packet size (RFC 1035).
But this would cause drop packets because of some DNS servers or hosts don’t support this. This always causes some website inaccessible.

Nslookup, can you get the name resolved?
In addition, try use IP address access the website and check the result.
Hope this helps.

Cant load some web pages

For some reason I recently became unable to access certain web pages that I used to be ale to get into. One is my credit union's home page and the other is fox news' home page. In both Safari and Internet Explorer the page hangs up when loading at the same spot everytime. With Fox News it is at sending request for /js/main2005.js and at the credit union site it is at sending request for /js/lib.js
I assume that the problem has something to do with java script but being a complete and utter non computer geek, I am at a loss as to how to fix this. Any help?

Hi kevin, and Welcome to Discussions!
Open your Safari Preferences
Click on Security
Web Content: Are Enable Java & Enable JavaScript checked?
If not, enable them. Quit Safari, and then reload Safari.
Does the page load now?
The Internet Explorer browser is no longer being supported for OS X. So your version has not been updated to work with many of the newer technologies, being implemented on the Web.
Using my AOL browser, when I go FOXNews,
the page never completely loads. But that may be due to the fact that I have disabled Enable Java.
Using Safari, with the Java & JavaScript enabled, the page loads right up.
Additionally, have you run all of the Java updates for your OS?
Good Luck!

Firefox won't load any web pages but my other browser will

i updated to firefox beta. It ran for one day. Since then it loads a blank white page and won't go to any web sites. I don't get an error message or anything. It just sits there.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=won%27t+load+pages&r=2&as=s
This was the problem with mine. I had to remove mozilla firefox from my trusted programs in my antivirus firewall settings and then open firefox... it added it back in. The problem occured when my AVG updated.

Safari won't show some web pages properly.

After re-loading OS X 10.3.9 on my Powerbook g4 1.25ghz, 1.25memory and updating all updates. Safari now won't load Facebook completely. All other web pages seem to be loading OK. I usually use Firefox but I can't seem to get ANY version of that web browser to load now. So I'm stuck with Safari that won't load Facebook.
I've tried deleting caches and Safari prefs…didn't work.

Ok..
That's an outdated version of Safari for sure and explains why web pages aren't rendering as they should for you.
Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
Hopefully the Software Update will bring your Mac up to speed. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
In case you aren't aware, you can run Tiger or Leopard on your PBookG4.
Tiger v10.4 minimum requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1514
Minimum requirements for Leopard v10.5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
You are running an outdated Mac OS X, v10.3. Apple released Panther in 2003. Unless you upgrade the Mac OS X and Safari, you will continue to have problems using Facebook and other sites as well on the PBook.
