Internet is working but browsers will not load.

About a week ago my web browsers stopped working. I'm running Vista and I use FireFox. I also have Internet Explorer but neither of them will load any web page when i go to them. I know my connection is working because I can use any other program that requires internet. I've been told that I have a virus. I've ran Malwarebytes, RKill, Avast!, CCleaner, Advanced System Care, and I've tried a system restore but nothing has helped. Anyone have any idea whats wrong or how I can fix this?

I have the same problem as the poster for this thread. A couple days ago my web browsers stopped working. I was watching a live stream on TwitchTv (I watched through my Firefox browser) and Firefox had been pestering me with notifications to upgrade to version 27.0.1. After I concluded watching on Twitch I finally gave in and upgraded FireFox. It prompted me that the change would be in effect after a restart I shutdown my computer (and turned back on) instead of restarting it. When I tried to use Firefox, it wouldn't let me and said the quote below. Both Firefox and IE say the same thing: Unable to connect:-The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy, try again in a few moments.-If you are unable to load any pages, please check your computer's network connection.-If your computer is or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web. I'm running Vista and I use FireFox. I also have Internet Explorer and Google Chrome but neither of them will load any web page when i go to them. I know my connection is working because I can use any other program that requires internet. I tried system restore, but for some reason the computer said it failed. I've checked all the connections and cables, rebooted my router and modem, ran Malwarebytes and AVG 2012 with updated content and I've tried a system restore but nothing has helped. I also followed your steps: Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. Enter the command listed below seperately and hit return after each one. ipconfig /flushdnsnbtstat -Rnbtstat -RRnetsh int reset resetlog.txt
netsh int ip resetnetsh winsock reset(But netsh int reset resetlog.txt and netsh int ip reset did not work) Anyone have any idea whats wrong or how I can fix this?

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I wanted to download Mountain 10.8 but it will not load. Any ideas?

As I said, I am trying to upgrade to Mountain 10.8 but it will not load. Any suggestions?

What do you mean by, "it will not load?"
The way the process works is you purchase it from the App Store and it downloads. When if finishes, it will start the installer automatically.
Which part fails, Download or installation?

My home button is not working but apple will not honor the limited warranty

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

HT204406 I added music to iTunes but it will not load upto iMatch

I have 3 CDs I loaded in iTunes, but they will not load into iTunes Match so that I can download them on my phone. How should I proceed?

Disconnect the iPod, restart your computer, reconnect your iPod, sync your purchases. Do they now show up on your iPod Nano?

Put the iPhone in DFU mode*. Connect in iTunes and restore.

I'm connected but computer will not load sites

I have a WRT54G ver. 6 and I can't figure out what's wrong with the connection. The household has two laptops and one desktop(wired) connected to the router. My computers will say they're connected but will not load web pages. There's no data transfer. Sometimes repairing the connection will fix the problem but most the time it does not. Usually I have to disconnect the power to the router then reconnect it. That fixes it, but lately I'm having to do this several times in a day, which gets annoying. Occasionally I'll see the a box popup that says I'm connected to the internet even though I've been connected for awhile. Even my desktop that's wired to the router will stop loading pages. Does anyone know what would do that? Is my router going bad? Is there a way to run a router through some kind of self diagnostic?

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 w/ linksys Wireless B card and a Dell Inspiron e1505 w/ Intel Wireless Pro card.
When only one computer has access to the router it seems to work fine, so I'm convinced it has something to do with how the router distributes the internet connection to several computers it has trouble.

Been tying to open a webpage that I use all the time, others tell me it is working but Firefox will not open it.

I use a webpage while playing Travian and now I can not get it to open. The page is "http://travian.ws/analyser.pl?s=com2" . When I tried to open it earlier today a security window popped up and I thought that I clicked on the appropriate button so it would open but it never did and still it will not load. Have talked to others via Skype that tell me the page opens and works for them, still the page will not load. Have reloaded 'Firefox' and still unable to load the page.
Open to any suggestions.
Thanks
Steve

Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
Do I need to take this back?
Has anyone had a similar problem?

How old is your MBP?
Do you have APP?
Does this happen all the time? Does it happen on a specific site? What internet connection do you have?

I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
(there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
Hope it work now mate!

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
