Macbook Pro limited web browsing?

Hello,
I have a 15 inch, Late 2008 Macbook Pro with Mac OSX Lon 10.7.3 installed on it. Saturday night, i dont know what happened, but now my web browsing through firefox, chrome and safari is really slow. Some websites, such as endgadget.com do not open at all. Some such as www.bgr.com open, but pictures are not displayed. Pictures are not displayed on facebook either. It has that broken html picture icon, but no picture. Also all my other non-mac laptops work fine with the wifi. And this problem came out of no where in the last few days.
It is worth mentioning that torrents run fine, giving me full download speed. It is just web browsing. Chrome either says it could not find the website, is not connected to internet or dns look up failed.
someone please help me out! thanks in advance

this it the error i get on google.
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.
half the time i get this, the other half it opens with no images, no proper website format.

MacBook Pro for Web Develop/Photographer

I'm a student and I am travel photographer and web developer.I'm looking at buying a 13" Macbook Pro w/o Retina, however, I'm having trouble figuring out what configuration I need. Unfortunately, I know more about the web than I do about the inner workings of a computer. So I would love some suggestions on what to get for the processor and RAM storage.
The MacBook is going to act as my travel work laptop and it will go with me everywhere, cross country and overseas. It will be a place to offload my photos to Lightroom and do basic checking and editing. Video editing is going to occur very often. I'm also going to be using it as one of the main place for coding and designing websites
I would be running the following programs on it:
Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Fireworks(Or a similar program)
Adobe Photoshop (Or a similar program)
Adobe Premiere Pro (Or a similar program)
MAMP
Itunes
Multiple Browser
Text Editor
It would also be nice to have the option to add space if I would need to.
So what is the best set up for what I need? Should I get an I5 or I7 processor? What amount of memory should I get? What type of hard drive would be the best?
And is there anything else you suggest for me to get?
Also, would refurbished be a good option?
And don't just say get this. Please give me a reason as to why.
Thanks so much.

I'd be curious to know what "issues" you think there are with the Retina MBPs. But at any rate, if you want the non-retina model I'd suggest you upgrade it to 8GB of RAM (more RAM is always better) and at least the 256 GB SSD. I also agree with Andy on using external HDDs for additional storage.
I am in a similar situation as you. I will be buying a new MBP later this year to replace my early-2011 15" MBP. I'm going to with the top model of 13" MBPr and will have additional external HDDs for backup and file storage. I don't do web development but I am an amateur photographer.
I can't stress this enough: do not forget the external HDDs for backups. Having current Time Machine backups will be critical in case of an emergency. Having an SSD in the MBP will dramatically reduce the possiblity of losing data but having backups is still important.

Help me build the perfect Macbook Pro for web design!

I am a beginning web design student, and I'm planning to purchase a new MacBook Pro in the coming weeks. I need to be able to effectively run a few of the CS6 programs, including Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Which configuration should I have---I really don't want to spend more than $2000.00. Should I beef up on RAM and skimp on the processor?
Or, would I be better off getting an iMac? While losing portability and processor speed, the screen real estate would be incredible.

If it were up to me, I would choose the latter;
2.3GHz i7 Quad Core
With 8GB DDR3
Simple really, for the program you'll be using, you'll benefit from the power of the quad core. On a day to day usage however, you might feel that the 2.9GHz is faster. That may very well be true for apps that don't call for quad processing.
But for what you'll be using it for however, that quad core is your best bet.

Installing FCS2 on MacBook Pro, limited space?

I've been using Final Cut Studio 2 on a Mac Pro with lots of hard drive space. Just recently bought a MacBook Pro to enable editing in the field.
My question is what is necessary to keep on the MacBook, and what isn't? How can I keep the applications and content to a bare minimum, and still have all the tools to edit with?
I purchased an upgrade to FCS2, so I've had to install the whole FCS... AND the upgrade to FCS2... so it's taken up considerable hard drive space. What can I delete?
As an example, I know I'll never use all the LiveType content, so can probably get rid of that. But is there an easy reference somewhere? Are there folders with content, etc, that gets installed by default that I can remove?
Please help. Thanks!

You do not need to install the original FCS to then install the FCS2 upgrade. All that is required is the serial number.
Do a fresh instal OS then instal the FCS2 upgrade disk entering your upgrade serial number then the original FCS serial number when required. From the install menu you can choose what applications and media you would like installed from the Final Cut suite. So if you didn't want Live Type on your Mac Book Pro then during installation of the FCS2 upgrade you would uncheck the Live Type selection. Same for Motion, STP, Cinema Tools, DVD Studio Pro, etc. just uncheck the apps and/or application media you don't want installed.
FWIW application media is stored by default in Library/Application Support

My macbook pro loading web slow or not at all what can I do???

My mac book pro will not load pages--   how can I fix either will not load or is way to slow??? HELP!!

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.
Back up all data before making any changes.
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. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. 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.
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?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're 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?

IPad 64 gb and iMcac 21" vs. Macbook pro 15"

I am a junior in high school and I currently have a Macbook pro 15" 2007 version. It is half broken from use. When it breaks i need to get something else. I was thinking EITHER an iPad 64 gb and a iMcac 21" OR a Macbook pro 15" If I were to get the iMac/iPad combo I would save $100 USD. I use my mabook pro for; web browsing, word, sometimes Power point and excel. My school bag weighs 27 pounds (no joke) and i would like to lighten it. I figured that I could just you the iPad at school and have the iMac at my house as a base computer. What do you think I should do?

The MBA can be purchased with 4MB memory, faster cpu and more storage capacity so that it will be funtional for a long time. You can also get a CD/DVD drive for it in a separate enclosure. The iMac can last for years...can be purchased with a lot of memory, very fast cpu, and can take peripheral storage, and has a builtin CD/DVD.
The iPad with Pages installed can read and export files in Word .doc format. The other parts of iWork for the iPad can not export in MS Office product formats.
If you are looking for the most power and lowest weight, the MBA is a real contender. The larger version gives a usable screen area close to the MBP, good computing capabilities, software compatibility, lighter weight than the MBP, and peripheral equipment that should meet your needs.
Bottom line, though, is if you can go visit an Apple Retail store or retailer and try out the various options, spend enough time to get really familiar with each, and then talk prices with them for the options that suit you the best.
The iPad is really nice, but the MBA sure changes things.

What happen next, after erase and lock screen of macbook pro?

Hi, I just lost my macbook pro and I have some personal data on it. I read some articles who said that Erase mac will delete whole data. When I erased my Macbook pro from Web Interface https://www.icloud.com it ask me to enter 6 digits passcode I entered and It also lock my Macbook pro which I wasn't select explicitly. Now its showing me status "Pending: Erase Mac" and both Erase mac and lock in disable mode.I also checked option "Notify me when found". Now my questions are these.
If user connect to internet, it will erase my whole data and lock the screen, isn't it?
If user connect to internet, It will notify me?
I read somewhere that by choosing erase mac option I am no longer to track my mac, isn't it?
I also read somewhere that by locking screen it ask 4 digits passcode, then why its asked me for 6 digits?
Please let me know about these question's answers. This will be great for me. Thanks.

If user connect to internet, it will erase my whole data and lock the screen, isn't it?
If user connect to internet, It will notify me?
Yes and yes.
I read somewhere that by choosing erase mac option I am no longer to track my mac, isn't it?
Not 100% sure, sume users have reportedly still be able to track it.
I also read somewhere that by locking screen it ask 4 digits passcode, then why its asked me for 6 digits?
4 digits is for mobile devices.

Weird message on Macbook Pro

Hi..
I bought a new wireless modem internet collection and attached it and used on my macbook pro.
While browsing the internet, after few minutes, the system shows a message ,
http://cl.ly/102k2p1t1j2l2f0g1F0k
When this message shows, nothing works and I have to switch off the system from power button.
Please let me know, how to fix it.

This appears to be a kernel panic. Assuming this is s software related issue, make sure to have the latest software updates and try using a browser other than Safari. Also close any apps you may think are related with the issue. I don't think the problem is with the modem, but if the problem persists, you can ask for it to be replaced.

Is it normall for a Macbook Pro to overheat during browsing web pages?

DonAnan
Is it normall for a Macbook Pro 13" retina 2 weeks old to overheat during browsing web pages ?
i just brought a new MacBook Pro 13" Retina ( Dual Core i5 2.6GHz , 8GB Ram , 512GB Flash Storage ) and i notes that its really get OVERHEAT on the top right side of the keyboard and the fans work loudly when i brows web or play a game ( CSR Racing ) , it get heat that when i touch the top right side of the keyboard ( the aluminum body on top of the bower key exactly ) i cant keep my finger for morethan 10 or 15 second ..
and the battery wont last for morethan 4 or 5 hours while it supposed to last for 9 hours according to Apple.
so guys is this normal ?
Thanks ,

i've did some search on the same issue and it really seems like everyone have it , even thou at apple reseller showroom here in Doha-Qatar the sales man told me this a such issue in the retina macbooks and apple has admit it and you must take it to the service center and change it , while at the service center said a totally different things and that its fine to get heat ..

im really lost and i have no idea whats goin on here and whom should i listen to .. i hope someone from APPLE support will read this and reply us whats goin on ?

Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My just bought MacBook pro very slow when browsing web in Safari. Help!

I just bought a MacBook pro and it goles really show when running Safari. Also, it would not syncronize iCal with iPad and iPhone. Help! Pelase!

Can you elaborate a bit? Is your mac fast when doing other things?
When you say it is slow in Safari, is that true on all sites? Or one site in particular?
Tell us about your internet connection...
What were you using before you bought this new mac? Was it fast on the same connection?
Its kinda hard to fingure out what you are saying, and its very unlikely for any computer to be slow when running one program, btu fast when running others.....

Not able open any apple website (starting with the name apple) on any of the browser(safari, Opera..etc) on my MacBook pro

Hello Everybody,
Few months back I have upgraded my OS to latest Mountain Lion version.
I am facing a unique problem for last1 month. I am not able to open any of the apple website starting with the name "Apple" such as apple.com, http://www.apple.com/mac/, http://www.apple.com/ipod/ etc but I am successfuly able to open http://store.apple.com/ (as you can see this is not starting with apple but starting with store).
I have reseted my safari, tried different browser such Opera, but not successful.
Can you please provide a solution for this?
thanks

Hi I have same prob on a client's Macbook Pro and iMac both on 10.5.8 (but problem there before update). Have deleted all cookies (and preferences and cookie database etc), history etc but problem reappears after 3 or links are clicked on www.apple.com site. If I clear cookies problem goes away again only to come back. Have tried creating a new user account - same problem! tried archive and install of OS X, same problem still. tried two different internet connections - same problem. problem not limited to web browsers either - iTunes has issues and client had his iPhone lock itself because he could not connect to apple to verify the device when he installed a software update. Major headache. Any ideas would be great!
