Macbook cannot view specific websites

I am running OS X 10.4.11 on an Intel-based Macbook. I cannot view some specific websites, like www.facebook.com, www.commonapp.org, and apple's own discussion forums, regardless of the browser. I have used Firefox, Safari, and Opera. All have the same problem. The frontpage to the sites will load if I set them as my homepage.
Is there any possible reason this could be happening? I have looked online and others have experienced this problem but no one seems to have a solution. I am in the midst of the college application process, and the deadline is January 1. All of the applications are online and I can't access the website. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You might need to provide us with a little more information about your Internet connection. Are you using dial-up via the USB modem? Are you connected via Ethernet to a cable or DSL modem? Are you connecting wirelessly through an Apple AirPort device? Or a third party wireless router? What happens if you skip the wireless router and connect your MacBook directly to the DSL or cable modem with Ethernet? Have you tried moving your MacBook to a new location that has Wi-Fi? Have you contacted your Internet Service Provider? Clearly, Apple is not blocking access to their own Discussion forums to people using Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger).

P.S. I'm going to ask the Hosts/Moderators to move this topic to the "original" MacBook forum. Since no one in this Aluminum MacBook forum is using Mac OS X 10.4.

Cannot print specific websites to HP printers

Trying to print a specific website http://www.desert-alchemy.com/info/article/decision-making/ to an HP LaserJet 400 M451 and LaserJet Pro 300 m375nw using iMac OS X 10.9.3, MacBook 10.9.3 and an older MacBook 10.6.8 in Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
The printers simply stalls. The laserjet pro 300 reboots each time when getting the print command. The laserjet 400 doesn't do anything. LJ 400 says "printing" and "copying print data". I chat up HP Chat Tech support and they said, "We do not have Apple Tech Support Training. Please call M-F 10am - 7pm."
I have an old 2100M and hooked it up to the 10.6.8 OSX running MacBook. 2100 printed the above websites footer and header, nothing else.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
After waiting a couple days, maybe the problem would just magically resolve itself, tried again to print and same behavior:
HP LaserJet 300 Pro reboots, Error Code 79 and nothing prints.
We took out our Canon Pixma MP560, the one which makes a ton of noise, which prompted us to purchase the HP LaserJet in the first place, the Canon Pixma MP560 prints the above website in 6 seconds while the HP again, reboots.
Isn't there anyone at HP that can answer why this website doesn't print? http://www.desert-alchemy.com/info/article/decision-making/
Is there something in the driver I'm missing? Is there a radio button I'm not hitting? Why can't these 3 HP printers print this website but the Canon can?

I cannot view a website on my macbook pro.

I am trying to customize a furniture color on the ethan allen website, but when I click the link it says error! Micro*D furniture Inc. www.eprevue.net. When I use my iPhone this error doesn't happen. What could possibly be the problem?

How are you connecting it?

I cannot view a website I frequently visit due to a grey box that appears to the left of the web address. How do I change this so I can view the whole site?

I often visit a website to watch climbing videos & check score cards of athletes. I have been able to look at it all day, now there is a grey box that does not allow me to view these things. When you click on the grey box, a grey cartoon man appears, & a message. It says "This website does not provide identity information. Your connection to this website is not encrypted." How do I change these settings so that I can view the entire site?

Just to expand a little on Sudarshan's reply, and perhaps to inform you as a beginner, I will say that everything you see on the screen in DW's Design view is completely dictated by the underlying HTML and CSS (and perhaps javascript and server scripting). In addition, if that code is somehow made to contain invalid usages, then the effect of that on DW's Design view, and ultimately on the rendering of the page is completely unpredictable but most likely always destructive to the desired layout.
As a result of this, any answers to questions you might pose about layout would always need to begin with an examination of the VALID code. That means you can shortcut what often becomes many tedious steps (as seen in this forum over and over again) by first validating your code with the W3C's validator (http://validator.w3.org) and fixing those errors highlighted that you are able to fix. It is perfectly reasonable to ask here about errors that you don't understand or don't know how to fix.
Once you have your page built with valid code, then we can begin the task of troubleshooting your layout. And again, the best way to do this (and to enhance the likelihood of getting a useful answer) would be to upload your page and its dependent files to some webspace that you control, and include a link to that uploaded page in your post.
Make sense? You will really help us help you by doing this.

It just happens with my system. I am able to view it in other browsers. website: osi.utep.edu. I need to update this website frequently. I cannot view this website completely. I cannot view the flash , pictures and buttons ..please help

That is a Flash object. You have an old Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32 player that may not work on that site.
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

Website lockdown: can't view a website, or log in to the WordPress dashboard

Hi there,
I have built a website using WordPress that is live, up and running. But I can't view it on my MBA or log in to the WP dashboard.
I can view the website and log in to the dashboard using other computers and devices, it just seems to be my MBA and also my iMac that won't let me have access.
I have been through various troubleshooting methods:
Flushed the DNS
Deleted the wifi network and rejoined
Cleared the cache
Tried another browser - FF
... and checked that my server provider is not blocking my IP
But still I cannot view my website or login to the WP dashboard.
Could anyone advise?
Thanks in advance...

Try this, may have already.
But anyting that only works with archaic out of date and ancient XP and IE 6/7? is not current and was using non standard html codes.
Try setting IE to view the site in older mode
Also Opera, it can mimic IE and any browser other than the Active-X part anyway, by changing User Agent (very easy in Opera)
They not you need to update and be current with IE9 and Windows 7/8 (and mobile devices)
Oh, and if you have Pro/Ultimate, then you can use XP Mode and run that. Or run XP under Parallels - or run Windows 7 but run XP in a VM under Windows - easy to do and no different probably better in fact, than running VMs under Mac OS.

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

Help! Please! I cannot view images on any website or button as in submit, delete, previous, next...

I cannot view images on any website, or buttons only text. I can view youtube videos but none of the video thumbnails on the sidebar. I have never had this problem and have searched the forums for an answer.

Hi F. Carl
The clip is intact and it has video and audio.
I have worked on it before and all was fine until I lost the work when it got frozen!
The issue is:
I have a (MOV.) ready clip that I wanted to edit a bit, hence I have imported the clip (import media) and whenever I try to work on it, the black screen prohibits me from doing anything.
Any ideas please ... It's really strange !

How can I find history from a specific website on my MacBook Pro?

How can I find history from a specific website (such as: time spent on that website and things of that nature) on my MacBook Pro? I would also like to see if I can get a detailed history for other things done on the computer, such as: Date & Time Spent running a specific application, etc.

Not so much.
You can try 3rd party app for example http://timingapp.com/

I cannot view pictures on pinterest or other websites. Load images Auto is enabled.

I cannot view images on sites like pinterest or photo sharing sites, the box comes up blank. I've deleted history, the "Load Images Automatically" is enabled. I only have this problem on foxfire. The images come up fine on Safari on my Mac. Please help.

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!

Hi, I have a specific website that keeps blocking me from going to website I want to view. It is called vnebo.pro or mobi. I also have a pc computer with Kaspersky and it blocks it. How do I remove it or block it from my computer.

Hi,
I have a specific website that keeps blocking me from going to website I want to view. It is called vnebo.pro or mobi. I also have a pc computer with Kaspersky and it blocks it. How do I remove it or block it from my computer? It only appears at my home, when I use my mac at other places I don't have a problem.
Thanks for any help!

Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
This never happened before version 35.
