IPad internet is blocked

When I log on a website it comes up but is grayed out and inaccessible. This is a new problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Did I accidentally set up a block feature or something? Thanks.

Hello and welcome......
Tap Settings on your Home screen then Tap Safari.
Clear the History / Cookies and the Cache.
Now restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

  • First direct link in google search causes "Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading"

    I've disabled both the Adobe Reader Add-on and the Adobe PDF Link Helper to force IE 8 to open PDF's outside of the browser i.e in the stand alone reader application.
    After doing this I did some testing, a google search for "test pdf" produces numerous direct links to pdf files.  If i click any of them it causes IE to display the message bar "Internet Explorer blocked this from downloading files to your computer, click her for options.."  When I click on the message bar, it appears to download the file , then nothing happens.  Next time I click the link it opens in the stand alone reader just fine and so do all PDF files, until the browser is restarted or a new tab is started.
    This only seems to happen in IE8.  IE9 doesn't have the problem.
    If I open a web page that has a link to a PDF that always work.
    Help? I can't roll this out to prod.  Users will get very confused...

    You actually trashed the whole Internet Preferences Folder including all your preferences still in there?
    Actually, you were suppose to just trash the Internet Preference file/document which is inside the folder.
    See if updating to the latest & last version of IE for Mac will help.
    Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
    Internet Explorer 5.1.7
    Internet Explorer v5.1.7
    "WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
    Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
    Or, you can try the following w/your older version of IE:
    Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
    finder
    ASLM
    PPC Registration Database
    Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
    MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
    Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
    Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
    History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
    Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
    Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
    Good luck!

  • HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

    I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good.  Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
    I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension.  Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express.  But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet.  Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
    If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty.  I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

    I finally got it working.  I was trying to set it up ethernet.  My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode.  So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'.  Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it.  So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
    So here's the weird part.  When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options.  One would be 'ethernet' extended.  So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem.  This is when I got frustrated.  I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
    But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options.  One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was).  And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful.  I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from.  It will work if only 3 options come up.  And success if only verified by the big checkmark.  Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
    As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it.  Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with.  It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
    Thanks for the response.  I really do appreciate it.
    Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
    Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
    - configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
    Using Airport 5.6.1
    1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
    2) Following restart, Select Continue
    3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
      - if 4 options are present, may not work
    4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
    5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
    Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
    I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger.  The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
    Thanks again.

  • How can i block **** pop ups in my ipad- pop up blocker doesnt work and neither does restrictions in general settings- still getting them

    please help this is driving me crazy
    thanks

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

  • Internet Sharing Blocking MSN

    I have a mac mini on my desk which is connected to internet with an ethernet cable, and I also have iBook G4. I use the airport on the mac mini and set up internet sharing to get online with the iBook. I can surf on websites, such as I am writing this on my laptop, but I cannot access for instance MSN, and some other services from here, but I can get to them on the mac mini. Is internet sharing blocking access to other ports or what's going on?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Yes, I managed to connect if I turn of the firewall. There are no messages in console.log. Obviously the firewall is blocking everything but http traffic through the mac mini.

  • Internet Explorer7 Blocking Crystal Reports 2008 CrystalReportViewer Export

    Visual Studio 2008 (VS 2008)
    Crystal Reports 2008 (CR 2008)
    Production Server: Windows Server 2003
    Internet Browser: Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)
    Crystal Reports Version: 12.0.2000.0  on both development and production
    IE7 message: To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options.
    I am in the process of updating my websites from Visual Studio 2005 and Crystal Reports.NET 2005 to Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008.
    In VS 2005, when creating a PDF or exporting from the CrystalReportsViewer, IE7 does not block the creation/download of the PDF, nor the download of an export.
    Whereas, with VS 2008 and CR 2008 using the CrystalReportViewer  in IE7 blocks the creation/download of the PDF, and the download of an export.
    The message returned in the yellow box at the top of IE7 display window:   To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options.
    If I select down Download Fileu2026  from the options, I must restart the PDF or export. 
    If I show another report, I have the same problem, even if I have stated to download the fileu2026.
    1. What is different between the CrystalReportViewer versions?
    2. What is recommended to avert this problem without having users change their IE7 settings?
    I found this settings change at: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?journalid=63F807B28AEC39CEE040AE0AB6E15FC5&docid=182320
    Turn off the Information Bar for file downloads
    This procedure will allow Web sites to automatically prompt you when downloading files, bypassing the Information Bar.
    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click Tools on the menu bar.
    3. Click Internet Options...
    4. At the Internet Options window, click the Security tab.
    5. Click the Custom Level... button.
    6. Security Settings window Security Settings window, scroll down to Downloads in the Settings: list.
    7. Click to select Enable under Automatic prompting for file downloads.
    8. Click the OK button.
    9. At the Warning! message, click the Yes button to change the security settings for the zone.
    10. Click the OK button.
    You will now receive prompts directly from a Web site if it needs to download a file to your computer.

    Hi Don:
    Yes, this is an https:// site.
    This is using X500 accounts for security. Once logged in, the site is running on an anonymous local user account.
    On Internet Options | Security | Internet | Setting the security level as medium  on (the lowest I was able to go) in  IE7 does not allow the user to download without the message coming up. It even states on the side (- Prompts before downloading potentially unsafe content)
    Workaround has been:
    1. Set the site as a trusted site (Internet Options | Security | Trusted Sites | Sites | Add )
    2. On the Trusted Sites Zone | Security level of this zone | Custom levelu2026
    3. Downloads | Automatic prompting for file downloads u2013 change to Enable
    Thanks for your input.  I would like to resolve this issue. CrystalReportsViewer - Crystal Reports Exports/Printing methodology has been changed since Visual Studio 2005 .NET version. 
    Thank you for your input.

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.

  • My iPads Internet is really bad

    My iPads Internet is really bad everything else in the house is fine and its not that everything else is is hogging the wifi because it has been fine for ages but all of a sudden it's being really bad, does anyone know why?

    What is really bad - slow, drops connection, won't connect, short range? You need to provide specifics if you want an answer.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    We are all just your fellow users. No one here is going to be able to answer those questions for you. Bottom line is, for whatever reaons, you cannot use your iPad as a mobile hotspot. If that's the reason why you bought it, you need to either return it or sell it.

  • HT201210 iPad is completely blocked

    My iPad is completely blocked. Error message "iCloud Backup" as iPad hasn't been updated for 4 weeks. I cannot update it as screen is blocked and I therefore cannot change setting from Airplane Mode. I cannot even reboot as iPad doesn't respond to slide to power off.
    Thank you for your help!

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Firewall is blocking iPad internet access

    Hello,
    my iPad is connected to the internet via WiFi and a DSL-Router/Modem with a build-in firewall. Unfortunately, some of the applications on the iPad have problems going through the firewall, e.g. Facetime, all of my configured EMail-Accounts or Find-My-iPad. If I turn off the firewall in the router everything works fine. Of course I don't want to to turn off the firewall. I assume the problem is, that I have to allow these services/ports to pass through the firewall. Is there any way to find out what ports these services are using, so that I can open them in the firewall?
    Best regards
    Alexander
