Loading webpage problems

hey guys,
Im having a bunch of problems with loading webpages all of a sudden. I have Mozilla, firefox, and netscape. (accidently deleted safari) and cant get it back until I upgrade from 10.2.8 to at least OS 10.3. Anyway, I have problems getting onto Ebay it all started with Mozilla and once I found out that it wouldnt let me on I switched to firefox after 2 to 3 days later I started using netscape now I cant get on at all using any browser. Even on some of my other pages it loads the page just fine but has troubles loading the pictures. Why am I having so many problems I think its a software problem. I took my computer home over thanksgiving cause I was having the same problems before then and hooked it up to the network at my other house and it worked great there I had everything back. Now its all gone again. Why? I dont think its a networking problem but a software issue.( I need help with in the next 12 hours before 2 pm central time).

The Solution?
REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
Now everything is back to normal.

  • Cannot directly open the browser from the icon. "problem loading webpage" and "timed out" are the messages. Access was accomplished by using yahoo messenger and opening my email. if I attempt to open a new page, I recieve the aforementioned warnings.

    no link to open access to the internet. I used Yahoo Messenger, clicked on the 'mail icon' and since Firefox is my default it opened and I was able to continue from there. If I try to click File, open New Page, I get the "problem loading webpage" and "connection timed out" messages

    changed my homepage to Yahoo. Now Firrefox works but still cannot access ANYTHING 'Google"!

    hi!
    just yesterday my computer showed this problem with the internet. as the title says, it is connected to the wifi network (as it has always been) but i face the following problems:
    i cant load new webpaged in google chrome and firefox (which are the ones that I actually use)
    i can load webpsged that were already saved as bookmarks.
    i can load webpages in safari
    my icon for dropbox shows a red cross icon
    utorrent works just fine
    outlook (the software) get's my new emails
    what i tried to solve it:
    checked that my wifi networks work perfectly fine with other devices in the house
    restart computer
    changed DNS to one that was suggested in another thread in this discussions site
    resetting NVRAM/PRAM
    checked that it is updated
    so, i read that some people had similar problems with the new 10.8.2 for mountain lion, or sth like that... but in my case i have snow leopard so i don't think thst's the problem

    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    If using Wifi/Airport...
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

  • Safari will not load webpages

    Safari will not load web pages. The browser hangs and stops loading completel and will not connect to the internet, even though I am perfectly connected to wifi...so I know it's not the wifi that's a problem. I have looked through multiple forums for troubleshooting safari to no avail.
    I know for a fact that the problem lies within safari SOMEWHERE, and since the only way for me to connect to the internet is through safari (i'm on a school network that doesn't allow me to connect to any other web browsers), I can't run any updates, reinstall safari, download any programs, etc.
    I'm totally stuck in a rut and I don't know what to do...help!

    Launch the Terminal application and copy or drag -- don't type -- the line below into the window:
    curl -I http://www.apple.com
    Press return. You should get several lines of output below what you entered, starting with this:
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Is that what you get?
    Safari will not load webpages 
    I figured out a way to drag the link into the terminal application, and I did get lines of output starting with HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  • Itunes sound distorted when loading webpages

    Hi,
    I recently got a new laptop (like a week ago) and installed iTunes 9. This worked fine at first, but starting yesterday the sound gets distorted half the time I load webpages or open applications.
    I've had this before on older computers, and assumed it was because of their limited technical capabilities. I don't think that's the case here, though.
    Does anyone have any idea where the problem could be situated? Or might it be technical after all?
    Thanks in advance!
    Greetings,
    Steven

    Sounds like your audio midi settings are not being stored properly.
    I'd try deleting com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist and resetting
    audio midi.
    As you know, iTunes only reads the audio midi settings when it starts
    up, so I'd do that with itunes not running.

  • IPhone using Mac Mini's internet connection sharing, stops loading webpages

    Bought an iPhone 1 hour ago.
    I'm sharing my internet connection to my iBook and MacBook from my Mac Mini. Works fine.
    Can't connect using the iPhone.
    It will detect the network, it will show full network reception, but it will only load webpages for the first 10 seconds and then stops.
    Tried removing the password, fixing a channel, resetting the iPhone (full reset), the "forget this network" trick, nothing worked.
    It will load web pages in the first 10 seconds of detecting my open network. Its highly frustrating...
    Any suggestions? Maybe using the restore option from iTunes instead of the reset ones from iPhone? Will this try to reinstall the latest firmware?

    Very similar case here -- I bought an iPhone just yesterday, set it up with internet sharing on my Mac Mini, and am getting random (but frequent) failures connecting via wifi. Small web pages can get through sometimes, large (or complex) web pages almost always hang during loading, e-mail pretty much never works.
    However, using "edge" works just fine.
    I've nosed around these forums a bit (and googled for this problem a bit), and it does seem like there are a number of users having this sort of trouble. However, some folks with this problem have noted that they can run wifi just fine at other hotspots. (I haven't taken my phone to another hotspot yet, maybe I'll try tomorrow...) And I've shared my internet connection to other PCs from my Mini successfully before. So, in my opinion, this problem does not appear to be an actual hardware fault in either the iPhone or the Mac Mini, but rather some disagreement between the settings chosen on both sides; my guess is that this'll take a driver modification in either or both to fix, rather than a replacement of either the iPhone or the Mini.
    Just my current guess, though.

  • Ever since installing a VPN (astrill), Firefox won't load webpages until Astrill is connected.

    I installed a VPN, Astrill, and since Firefox won't load webpages unless it is on and connected. Once the initial connection has been made, I can turn off the VPN and firefox continues working. I'm on a windows 8.1 operating system. Has anyone had similar problems?

    Try going to your Add-ons > Extensions, and disabling the Astrill extension.

  • Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

    Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. 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?

  • Partially loading webpages

    My iMac is partially loading webpages. I have to constantly hit refresh, sometimes multiple times, to load a page. This isn't specific to any browser; I've tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and they're all responding the same. It also isn't an issue with my ISP or router because 1) our other computers in the office on the same network are okay, and 2) I connected to a different wifi network and had the same problem.
    I've disabled IPv6 but that didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

    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, 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.

  • Safari loads (freezes loading) webpages very slow on iPhone 4

    Hi!
    I have a problem with Safari on my iPhone 4 (4.2.1). Since I upgraded to 4.2.1 a week ago Safari is very slow and in 80% of time wont load webpages with first time when in 3G mode with strong bars. Well it loads them but very slowly (It takes approximately 20-30 seconds to load google or other pages). Maybe it would be more precisely to say that it starts to load, than the blue progress bar just stops at around 1/2cm and than after 20-30 seconds it actually starts to open the page and the blue progress bar continues to move. Sometimes (not often) after those 20-30 seconds I get message that page can't be opened cause server stopped to respond...
    What is important to my mind is that if I press reload while Safari is loading a webpage it opens fast as it should. So it usually works with second try.
    Since I noticed this problem after I upgraded to 4.2.1 I think those two things have connection (4.2.1 and Safari problem) but I might be wrong.
    This is happening in different locations around the city and it is not problem with coverage...I have three, four or sometimes even 5 bars 3G.
    Anybody having the same problem or can help me with some advice?
    Thank you!

  • Camino solves slow loading webpages in Safari

    For those having troubles with suddenly slow loading webpages in Safari, i found out that when opening the Camino web browser the slow loading web address in Safari will open fast.
    So keep your Camino open too and hit the reload button when having problems.
    Maybe this tip was submitted earlier but maybe it helps some of you.
    For me it works.

    I fixed it with this

  • Macbook is slow to load webpages and youtube videos are stopping

    I just recently purchased a Macbook pro, however, its been slow to load webpages, youtube videos, etc.  The youtube videos frequently stop playing and I have to reload the page.  Its not the connection and I havent had the computer long enough to have to clear safari chache.  WHY

    Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the same issue, though it's not a poor router problem (upgraded that hoping it would fix it).
    I tried the OpenDNS and it helped once, then stopped loading Netflix (Netflix, Youtube, and Facebook seem to be common problems, as well as "new" webpages that I don't go to often). If I connect directly to my Ethernet the internet works great. My iPhone connected to WiFi works great. It's just my Macbook pro and it just recently happened when I moved to my new house (I had the same ISP at an apartment and had 0 issues). Any thoughts?

  • Installing a few addons prevents loading webpages

    After installing a few addons, firefox ceases loading pages. I uninstall the addons. Firefox still cannot load pages. I uninstall and delete firefox.I redownload and reinstll firefox. Install a few addons. Firefox cant load webpages. I repeat the above.
    I have changed the addons to try to identify which addon may be causing the problem but still dont know. I tried image blocker app, save as text app and desktop mode app. These features should be preinstalled in firefox. Opera Classic and Orweb browser have preinstalled image blocker. They also have preinstalled desktop view that remains on and works unlike firefox. Unfortunately, they dont have save as text and cant render all websites which are the only reasons i am still struggling with firefox. firefox needs to have more preinstalled features that work.

    HI freebirds,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that Firefox will not load webpages.

  • Stop, then reload required to load webpages

    I'm having a problem loading webpages. The page will stall until I click the stop loading button then click load again. For instance, the status bar will show that 21 out of 25 items downloaded but then hang until I stop the command and start it again. I've cleared out cache, reset Safari, but problem continues. Other browsers work fine. Any suggestions?

    Hi Eddie
    Sometimes, reapplying the 10.4.8 combo update helps resolve oddities in system files, possibly contributing to your situation. If you go this route, make sure you "repair permissions" after the reinstall/restart. Also, do not use your computer for any other purpose during the reinstall.
    Whether the above resolves the problem, the following helps with speed:
    Go to System Preferences>Network -
    - Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
    - Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet and Airport ought to be checked, unless you use a Bluetooth item. Move Ethernet to the top of the list (you can drag it) followed by Airport. Select "apply".
    - Back to the "Show" menu, select "Ethernet". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply".
    Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
    In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
