Internet Browsers won't load

Internet browsers won't load. I am connected to Linksys Router wirelessly but even with an ethernet cord in it won't load up the internet.
If I switch the modem on/off manually it lights up the internet light and I am fine again until I log off.
I have been on the phone to both the ISP, Network technical support and Apple, still can't seem to resolve.
Getting very frustrated now! Not sure where else to get help?

Turn off everything; modem, router, shut down Mac. Wait about a minute and then power up the modem, wait a minute and power up the router, wait a minute then power up your Mac. Have you tried connecting ethernet directly to the modem?

My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages

my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages. The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook. Any suggestions??

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.

Some internet sites won't load anymore

Since a couple of days I have been unable to load a couple of websites I check regularly like engadget and TUAW, while others (e.g Gizmodo) load extremely slowly and don't show pictures once they do load. There are some other sites that just won't work (Apple, imdb), but it seems very random since most sites do work normally.
The problem is the same in Safari 4, Firefox and Camino, so I'm guessing it's my mac in some way. I tried pinging Engadget and get a 100% failure rate every time. Once I try surfing there through www.the-cloak.com I get there just fine, though. I tried resetting my internet router (by taking the power off for a night and reconnecting it this morning), but that seems not to have changed anything.
Does anybody know what can possibly cause this?

Hi Nixed and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As the problem appears to be across various browsers I would suspect your ISP's DNS servers.
Have a look at OpenDNS and follow the instructions there. If you have browser access to your cable modem change the settings there, if not follow the instructions to change your Mac's settings.
Even if this doesn't solve your immediate problem using OpenDNS is A Good Thing because of their anti phishing and other security settings. They are also faster than many ISPs DNS servers.
The numbers you want are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Good luck,
Adrian

Safari and other browsers won't load?

Heads up: I'm not very computer savvy but, I have a 15" MacBook Pro. Late 2011/Early 2012 I think. Version 10.7.5.
So over the past few weeks ( through Google Chrome), videos online. They load fast, I can click play on a 40 minute video and I don't need to pause for buffereing and loading.
In the middle of one of the videos though, it stops loading and I thought it was just a blip in the internet connection. So I reloaded the page, this time it tages about twice as long to load the video and then stops again. Each time I re-loaded the page the amount that it would download became shorter until it wouldn't play anything at all. I tried in Safari as well, with no luck. I thought it might have been the website, but then I tried youtube, network websites, videos on tumblr, anything I could think of and nothing would load.
The internet connection is fine, because another MacBook pro can connect wirelessly without problems. I've just updated my software, cleared a lot of my memory space on the hardrive, updated flash-player and nothing seems to be working. I follwed a few other answered questions on here such as turning off IPv6 or something along those lines and turning off various things and reconfiguring. It was all confusing to me and they didn't work either...
Now it's gotten to the stage where Safari (as I uninstalled Gogle Chrome to reinstall it) will not let me load random pages, such as the download pages for Google Chrome and Firefox. 4/5 times images won't show on pages that do seem to be working.
When I'm tryign to load a page in Safari, the little blue bar travels across it ust fine and then all of a sudden disappears, but there is stil an x in the navigation bar (as if it's loading) rather then a refresh button.
I'm hoping someone out there could help! If you need any more info on my computer I will dish it up as long as you let me know where to find it.

What you're describing sounds like it could be one of a few things:
1) It's possible that the wireless card in your computer has something wrong with it.
2) You've may have some sort of obscure problem with your computer's firmware, and you should resinstall the operating system.
3) There actually is something wrong with your internet connection.
I know that the 3rd one sounds unlikely, given that your other computer works fine on your internet connection. However, for whatever reason, your internet modem could just be spitting out bandwidth in unequal quantities to each computer. This could also be caused by an inconsistency in your router's QoS settings.
Either way, I would advise that you make an appointment at the Apple store, or some reputable computer repair shop. I think that the most likely of these three problems would be that something is wrong with your wireless card.
I hope this helps!

Safari (- or other browsers) won't load specific websites

Hello folks,
So here’s the deal: I can’t seem to load several specific websites. Some pages point-blank refuse to load, while others (like Facebook, Instagram, Google) work just fine or take a very long time to load (youtube vids buffer a lot). I’ve already tried several things, like flushing my DNS cache, adding google public DNS-servers (used: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), using different browsers (firefox nor safari works), making sure parental control is off and firewall is disabled, removing all my website data in Safari’s preferences, rebooting my router, resetting the wifi routers' time zone (someone else recommended this), restarting my wifi connection (which seems to have effect for like a second- though it’s loading very slowly- and then it goes back to refusing loading the page.) When using a proxy all pages load just fine.
I also did run a ping-test for one of them:
PING archiveofourown.org (208.85.241.152): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1

Entering 208.85.241.152 in my browser didn’t do the trick either..
Printscreen (just a blank page):
I’m really lost and hope someone might help me. Thank you in advance!

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 turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPad will connect to wifi and safari works but all apps that need an Internet connection won't load including iTunes?

Google on safari works on my iPad but everything else that needs Internet won't even load? Is there anything I can do?

Have you tried a restart?
Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Power buttons on your iPad. Do not release them until you see the Apple Logo. Be patient because it takes about 10-15 seconds. Try again and let us know if this helped or not.

When I first start my Safari and other browsers won't load

I recently upgraded to a MacBook Air from my 6 year old MacBook pro. I moved everything using a TimeMachine backup. I have been having a problem that when I start the day or return to the computer after having been off it a while, my airport will connect but my Safari will not go to the webpages, it just hangs. Sometimes this will last until all my mail downloads and then it will work, but this morning and a few other times I could not get Safari or Firefox to download from the web, even after my mail downloaded, until I restarted the computer, then it they worked fine. It is like something is hanging up my ability to get pages to download from the web when I first start trying to connect.
Thanks for any help with this,
KC

MacBook connected to the Internet but won't load

I connected my MacBook Pro to the Internet, and I have the three wifi bars. However when I open Safari or Google Chrome it starts loading briefly but stops and then after a while says I'm not connected to the Internet even though it shows that I am.

HI,
In System Preferences > Network what does it say for the WiFi connection ?
Does it say Connected with a Green Blob ?
Does it list the Network/router name ?
Does the Status say Connected ?
If all these are True then go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall tab
In Here is the Firewall On ?
If so then Unlock the padlock if required and go to the Options Button.
IS it allowing Signed Software ?
Is your Browser listed as an Allowed software item ?

Pictures won't load in Safari, or any other browser

I have an intermittent problem where internet pictures won't load. This seems to happen mostly on social networking or picture intensive sites. I've particularly had trouble with myspace, livejournal, facebook, flickr, okcupid, etc., but it is not limited to those sites. Sometimes pics won't load in Safari but will load in firefox. Sometimes the other way around. Sometimes neither of those browsers will work, and neither will opera, explorer, etc. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm connected by airport or ethernet. I Know it is not my internet connection because I have a PC on the same network that never has this problem. When I travel with my macbook, the problem comes with me.
I am currently running 10.5.2 on a 2 GHZ macbook. Previously, I had this exact same problem on a 550 MHZ Titanium Powerbook G4 running 10.4. I used to think it was just my old slow computer, but when I upgraded computers I transferred all my files and settings with the migration assistant, and the problem seems to have followed.
Things I have tried:
1. Making a new user account. I added a new account but did not delete my old one or do a clean install. This did not work.
2. Using a new DNS server. No dice.
Any suggestions?

Is the iPhone using your Mac to connect?
See if the Mac has any Proxies set...
10.5/10.6 instructions, System Preferences>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.

My Firefox won't load any websites, but other web browsers will. I have tried following the proxy help to fix this, with no luck. What can I do next?

Any website I try to visit using Firefox won't load, it just keeps saying that it is unable to connect. I tried other web browsers, and they work no problem. I tried following the proxy steps provided, but did not help.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firstly, common error: missing closing HTML comment at the end of the <style> block (in the <head> section) so the browser thinks the entire page code is a HTML comment and ignores it all.
Always check that HTML comments are correctly closed, particularly inside <style> blocks.
Around line 130
change:
.style75 {color: #CCCCCC}
</style>
to:
.style75 {color: #CCCCCC}
-->
</style>
The "-->" tells the browser that the HTML comment (ignored by browsers) is complete and the browser should start reading and displaying the code again in the browser window.
See if that helps.

Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
