Limited Access - can't load web pages

Although I am connected to the internet, web pages won't load. Trouble-shooting, it says I have "limited access" (I've tried both hard wire and Wife - same deal, no go).
Thought it might be my ISP, so I was on the phone with AT&T support and we ran tests and ping showed packets going out and coming in normally, and I can connect to the online game I play, but websites will not load. No home page, no E-mail, nada.
I am not a computer geek, so I have limited know-how.
This question was solved.

Interesting that AT&T support could not help. When that problem happens, it could be a virus or some malware. It can also be caused by your antivirus software - imagine that. But first try resetting the stack. SEE HERE for a dicussion. The reset in the last section applies to Windows 7 also.

IPad really slow and can't load web pages

I tried to ask this question from my iPad mini, but it was not possible to type in this field, so apparently support is another page that I can't load. Suddenly iPad won't load web pages, and is really slow...I already cleared safari cache and history...what now? have not updated to ios8.

Hello LizBMac,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your Wi-Fi network is loading images slowly, then I recommend that you follow the information in the article linked to below.

Can get email, but can't load web pages

I have an Airport Extreme basestation which, up until a week ago, was working fine. Now, I can send and receive email, but I can't access any web pages. When I try, it just hangs and nothing loads. Nothing has changed in setup and I haven't changed any settings anywhere. My suspision is that my ISP (Charter) changed something that my Airport is unhappy about.
I called Apple, and they told me it's Charter fault. I called Charter, and they told me it's Apple's fault.
I also called my local Apple store (not an official Apple store, but a small local reseller) and they said they've had an unusual number of people in the area reporting the same problem. Unfortunately, they don't know what could have happened.
Any idea what the problem might be or what I can check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like it might be a DNS issue.

Can only load web pages

Hi there,
I'm running an Apple iBook G4, with Mac OS 10.4.7, and connecting to the Internet through an Apple Airport Extreme. Until recently, my connection has been fine, but in the last few days I've noticed a systemic failure has crept up on me.
Almost every application in my system cannot connect to the Internet. iTunes can't connect to the music store, Gmail notifier can't retrieve messages, Mac OS X Software Updater can't connect to the update server, even the dashboard weather and stock ticker widgets can't connect to their servers.
Now here's where it gets weird. Web pages load fine in Firefox. Camino and Safari both refuse to load anything, but Firefox is loading pages without a hitch.
I'm stumped. Really, any help would be greatly appreciated.
iBook G4 14" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Try restarting the base station by opening the Airport Admin Utility in /Applications/Utilities/. Select your base station from the list and choose Base Station> Restart. If your base station doesn't show up in the list, you can also unplug your base station from the wall for a few seconds and plug it back in to restart it.
If that does not work, follow the instructions in this article to reset your base station.
Let me know if this helps.

Lumia 920 can't load web page

We just bought 2 new Lumia920 phones and while we like the devices, we have a huge problem... A couple of web pages I need for work doesn't work. It opens the main page but when I try to log in or open another link it just reloads the page I was on. I'm pretty sure it's a browser compatibilty problem but I am out of ideas. If this can't be solved I'll have to switch to a different phone Thanks for any suggestions

I didn't mention the site because unfortunately you need a password to be able to get to it. Im guessing its some sort of script or java problem but i don't know much about either... If that's the case, could this be addressed later when they update the site or is it one of those permanent bummers? I did find the"requirements page" and this is what it says:

Can't load web pages?

in the past few days I have been unable to load certain webpages (google, hotmail), and have had spotty access to others (gmail, certain yahoo pages). Also, many images are not displaying. I downloaded Firefox and experienced the same problems, so it seems as if Safari may not be the problem. I've tried rebooting my computer multiple times only to experience the same results. My hard drive only has about 250 megs of space left, but it's been like this for months and I haven't had these website problems before. Any advice?

It sounds like it might be a DNS issue.

Can't load web pages/Itunes store

Hi
I installed the security update yesterday and since then (or may be a coincidence) I'm having difficulty loading webpages. Some, like Apple, my bank, won't load at all - the progress bar just gets about 3/4 of the way across and stops. Others take minutes.
I'm using Entourage for mail and that is fine - no problem with email. I've tried using Safari, Firefox and IE - same problem with all my browsers.
I contacted Apple support - and emptied the cache, trashed the preferences folder and reset safari at their suggestion. No Joy.
Can't access the iTunes store either - or rather, it starts and again just stops.
Any help or suggestions would be welcome. In simple words please, I'm a bit simple.
Thanks
ian

Get error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" and can't load web pages. Problem with Firefox 5?

I tried repeatedly to load Firefox 5. The Error "TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" keeps coming up. The browser loads but any URL I enter doesn't load. Sites activated by buttons do load. Internet Explorer works.

07-05-11 When I turned on my laptop (Vista) this morning, I got a Start in Safe Mode and Repair message so I did. It suggested a System Restore, I hit OK. When it started like normal, I waited a few minutes then TRIED to launch Firefox 5.0 but kept getting a Mozilla Crash Report dialogue. So I instead opened Firefox 4.0b12 --error free-- so I could get here to get help. When I tried the Run... firefox.exe -profilemanager step, I get the subject error. When I try to open FF 5.0 in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key simultaneously, I get the subject error and no launch (though no Crash box either). I will try to let the FF 5.0 Updater run when it appears again but it never lets me choose when to Ask Again so I don't think it'll show again until tomorrow. Sigh. Oh, and like someone at a different version of this error blog re WinVista 32bit, now I'm getting the issue of Enter not executing the URL typed in the address bar; I had to click the arrow.
I hope the Update is to fix this problem.

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed a guest OS

I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
A summary of what I have tried:
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
- Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
- Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
- Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
- Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
- Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
- Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Browsers not loading web pages.

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
This evening I logged on to my mac to find that none of my browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) could load web pages. My MacBook Pro connects to the Internet via wifi. All other devices (wired and wireless) connected to the router work and even when the mac is hard wired it works. I have a bootcamp install of windows that works fine.
I tried loading all 3 browsers on another users account to no avail as well as attempting it in a guest account. I also attempted to load pages whilst booted in safe mode again to no avail. The strange thing is, when I connect to my universities VPN the browsers all work fine.
I have also noticed that applications installed that show in the menu bar (weather, Dropbox etc) do not work unless the mac is hard wired (or connected to the VPN wirelessly).
Can anyone help with this problem please?

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Safari won't load web pages while firefox has no problem

Started having problems yesterday and couldn't load any web pages with Safari or get mail. I thought the internet connection was down (it had been down), but the phone gets access via the same home wireless network, and Firefox has no problem loading web pages. Even more bizzare is that the same issue is happening on the iMac and the Macbook: both cannot get mail with Mac Mail or load web pages with Safari, but can with Firefox. This problem seems to correlate with an internet outage - everything worked until the outage, but then didn't work when the internet was back up.

Oh. Another weird thing. When I restart Safari, I can actually load one page. Just the front tab that was open when Safari closed. So odd. I did disable and re-enable DNS prefetching also to no avail also.

Why is iPad so INCREDIBLY slow in loading web pages or e-mails? I have brand new iPad 2.

Just got a new iPad2 last week, installed OK, updated to iOS 5.0, able to access my home's wireless network. However, it is incredibly slow in loading web pages, so that most web sites time out before they will load, like http://finance/yahoo, which I have to use my desktop (Windows XP) or laptop (Windows 7) computers to access, since the iPad will time out almost every time before it can open the site. Same for most other sites, unless real simple like my own web site, which will open OK.
Apple tech support was no help at all. Any suggestions, other than buying a new router?

Have you tried (1) restarting your router, and (2) resetting the wifi on the iPad? To do #2, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings.

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
