My brother can't access his company's website with Safari or Firefox

This is driving me nuts. My two brothers own a home building company and paid me to design and put up a website for them. My brother Scott, who I recently switched to the Mac, can't access the site with either Safari or FireFox. He hasn't had any trouble accessing any other sites on the internet, just his own!
I can access the site no problem at home with Safari, my other brother can access it from IE 6 on his Windows machine, and Scott can access the site from the Dell sitting right next to his Mac using the same router and satellite modem.
Heres the error Safari gives: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.handhproperties.com" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I looked around in the network prefs, security, etc., but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Now this is just a very basic plain Jane website and I didn't include anything fancy. Mostly because I'm not that smart. What could be causing this?
I emptied Safari's cache and went in and deleted cookies from the site (GoDaddy must've put them there because I certainly didn't and wouldn't know how). Immediately after I did that, the Home page of the site loaded but with a bunch of errors and no images. If I clicked on any links I got the same error message as before, so I went looking for more cookies to delete but there weren't any.
He's on WildBlue satellite and my first thought was it had something to do with them because before, when he was on dial up he had no problems accessing the site. He talked to them and they claimed it had to be his Mac. The router is a cheap Lynksys that I don't think has any built in firewall.
Today I upgraded him to Leopard and hoped that a new version of Safari might clear things up but nope.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled (nothing new there).

Hi,
Have you tried giving the router a kick? (i.e. turning it off/on )
Sometimes that can do the trick even when another computer connected to it can access the site fine.

Can't load certain part of website with Safari or Firefox

Hi, I am having trouble loading certain part of this website:
http://stat.fundservice.net/index/index.html
I get a "?" in a box in Safari and blank in Firefox.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

It seems like this site is using ActiveX controls, which is a proprietary piece of software invented and solely used by Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
If this site weren't in Korean, I'd suggest sending the webmaster a quick little email, telling them about the one out of four people not using IE.

Wrong forum, but can't access correct one - need help with Safari

I'm sorry to post this here, but the link to the Safari discussion forum is broken - I've tried it about 10 times!
I've been having trouble with Safari 1.3, which quit every time I navigated to a page using a certain type of code (I don't know what it was, maybe Java or Flash?) Anyway, I downloaded the Safari 3 Universal version in the hope of improving it, but unfortunately that has completely killed off both Safari itself and Mail. I couldn't even use Firefox or Internet Explorer, although other programs such as Word and Photoshop were working fine. Trashing Safari and everything I could find related to it meant that Firefox would work (I'm using that now), but I still can't start Mail. I assume Mail needs Safari to be installled in order to work?
I've tried to download Safari 1 again, but can only find links to download the 1.3 Updater, not the program itself. Of course, the Updater won't install because there's no previous version to load it onto. Can anyone help me with a suggestion as to where I go from here, please? I'd be hugely grateful, I don't mind not having Safari but I do really need to use Mail.
Thank you!

There are many, many millions of defective, nonstandard web sites, as a brody points out. You could, if you wished, make a crusade of asking their developers to make them accessible in every antique web browser: a crusade for which you would be rewarded with a brody's undying admiration, most of those incompetent website developers' annoyance, and nothing else.
If instead you would rather just visit the sites and see what you can see of them, use Camino or Opera — the only up-to-date browsers that will run in OS X 10.3.9. Mozilla FireFox 2.0.20 will indeed run in your OS version, but it "is no longer supported and contains known security vulnerabilities" according to the Mozilla website. The more recent updates of FireFox (3.0 through 3.0.10) require OS X 10.4 or better.

Can't access Youtube & other google services with Safari (maps, translate...))

Hello,
since I got my new Macbook (retina 13") several google websites don't work anymore.
- Youtube
- google maps
- google translate
- google play
- google books
- etc.
It's only a problem with Safari, as soon as I use a different browser like Opera or firefox, everthinks works.
If I use Safari I get the message:
"Safari can't connect to Server"
It never worked with the new Macbook, so I think it can't be a problem of a particilar software installed on my Macbook.
Thanks for you help.

I can't access my company's secure website- on Aventail- from my ipad 2 with Firefox Home.

Firefox home installed fine, but I can't access the secure work website. I have a secure token and the site uses Aventail.

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

Without third-party software I don't think you can. An iPad has no user-accessible interface to a file system. Just what is it you're trying to do?

Can I access folders on my iMac with my iPad?

Can I access folders on my iMac with my iPad via the Cloud?

Yes .... If you use something like DropBox and you copy the folders that you want to access into a folder in your DropBox on the Mac.
What do you want to access? You still need an app or apps on the iPad that are compatible with the files that you want to access and download to the iPad....assuming that is your intent.

Can't open parts of my website with new version of java

I was forced to upgrade java to access my website. Now I can't access parts of the website.

OK, Here's what you look for.
The website displays fine
Once you have the main page up click on painted furniture.
Once it is up there is a red tag at the top that says Click on items already sold. When i try to display these items I get a message that says Java older issue. do you want to run or cancel. When I hit run it sits there for a while and then the red tag disappears and never displays the page.
It works fine on my other computer.
This is a issue on this computer that started when it required an update of Java 6.
running Vista
Now I can't get this computer to display the Items already sold on susiesfunart.com
