My homepage won't load properly, but all other sites load fine.

When my homepage opens, all I see is a list of the drop-down menus on the left, instead of across the top. All are 'dead', not operating. The page is a blank white page instead showing the page content. I can access my homepage through IE fine. Using Firefox, all other website are normal. I tried downloading and reinstalling Firefox, but it would not download.

Sounds like maybe the Hard Drive is failing or has failed.
1. Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)  Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
If you can not see the Mac OS X volume (Macintosh HD) in Disk Utility while started up form the Install Disc, then you will need to make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP and have them help.
If you have a good backup in place, then you can easily restore the new Hard Drive from backup. If not, then depending on what is wrong, you may or may not be able to recover your user data from a bad Hard Drive.

Ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problem. Can anyone help?

ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problems. Why is this? Can anyone help?

It should be: Click on Home Folder (the House) and to the right Library is shown, click on the arrow on the Library folder to reveal its contents and then click on Cookies to reveal its contents and then move the Cookies.plist to the Trash as Carolyn suggests.
Then try eBay again.

When viewing my webmail with firefox there is nothing in the inbox, but all other folders are fine

problem is when viewing my webmail with Firefox there is nothing in the inbox, but all other folders are fine.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I get a dialog box to allow a cookie from Yahoo mail but it does not respond and locks up the entire browser. All other sites work fine.

The sign in page for yahoo mail wants to set cookies. I get a dialog box that asks to set a second cookie but it is unresponsive, eitehr to check allow or close it. Going to task manage says the site is waiting for input from me but I cannot get the browser to respond in any manner whatsoever.
All other tabs work fine and the yahoo site can be opened with IE fine.

Set up to "Ask me every time" in the Privacy elections. I think I found the problem. Looks like there were two dialog boxes, the second right on top of the first so I could not check the first one so it never got the OK and kept waiting for input.
Seems OK now.

Please help, I've tried everything! Gmail won't open, it just endlessly cycles and rarely even gives me an error message: all other sites work fine (Windows 8).

All sites work fine except Gmail will not load. I prefer Firefox, but to be fair, Chrome and IE are doing the same thing when I try to use them. Occasionally Gmail will pop up, most of the time it just endlessly cycles and I don't even get an error message. I'm going to have to get rid of gmail if this goes on.
It's maddening! I've tried everything I could find on mozilla support--restarted in safe mode, clear cache, cookies, etc. This is a brand new Windows 8 laptop. It started a few weeks after I got it. There is nothing else wrong with it, it had a fresh new OS installed before I got it. Please help! Thanks so much.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
*https://mail.live.com
*https://login.live.com
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Only the first page for a particular site prints. All other sites are fine.

I'm running Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows 7 SP1 and when I try to print the web page of the affected URL ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-to-another-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection ), only the first page is printed. It prints fine in IE 9. I tried printing in safe mode and it still only prints the first page. I only tried printing it once, after that I used print preview alone. I used print preview on a dozen other sites and it works fine. By the way, on the web page I'm trying to print you must "Show All" at the bottom to expand all of the text. It's just this one web page. Can someone else with a similar setup try print preview on this page for me? I just want to know. I printed it using IE. Interestingly, if you scale the print preview down enough, all of the text shows up. Thanks...

Well, I've made a little progress. I saved the web page source locally and then added the following HTML snippet to the <head> section:
<style type="text/css">
div
page-break-before:always;
</style>
When I display this, the "Show all" does not work, but the page text is still long enough to do "Print Preview" and expect more than one page. The result is a blank first page (expected) and then ALL of the page text is printed on the next two pages.
But I think you are correct "the-edmeister" in saying that Firefox may have a problem when the DIV tag spans more than one page. The reason is that the third page only contains the footer, so I can't say for sure if the whole DIV block was printed. But at least the footer did show up this time.
If I can get the "Show all" block to expand then maybe that question will be answered. Any thoughts?

I cant open paypal. all other sites are fine

Hi everyone, Im having a problem too. When i try to open paypal, nothing happens it just hangs trying to load. It can stay like that for over an hour, the odd time it will open. It has just happened since ive got windows 8. No problem with any other website. I can open paypal on all other devices in the house. Ive rebooted and reset router, cleared all cookies etc, ive restarted Firefox in safe mode, (in safe mode it seemed to work ok for a minute then stopped) disabled all plugins and addons, disabled firewall (bullguard) and reset firefox too, still doesn't work. I can click on the link (or type address) and it just stops, if i go back in 5 minutes and click again, it might work ok..Ive called them up and they say its a browser problem. (works fine with ie) Running a business and use paypal for ebay so its pretty important that it works.. Appreciate any help..
Done this as well and still nothing.
''If your problem is that the PayPal site is not loading in Firefox and clearing cookies and cache doesn't help. you have a different problem. , you could check the article Websites show a spinning wheel and never finish loading. You could also try the rest of the basic troubleshooting steps described in the Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems article. '' done that too.
Ive also downloaded

also done all the scans available with bullguard, still no joy.
updated plugins and add-ons.
Starting to pull my hair out now..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.

I delete all when sign off, The performance of the connon is slow to load trustes sites how can all cookies be save fro some sites but all other sites be deleated?

Firefox is slower than internet explore 8. I delete all when I close FireFox. I think I want to do is clear all cookies except some sites. Example USAIR is a trusted site it takes a long time to load. If I go into internet explorer clean out temporary internet file Internet explorer take time to load. How do you clean out everything except some select sites?

I am not sure what you ask is possible.
There is a default smart search for 'Most Visited' but I would think if you delete your 'History' you will not have History entries showing up in the location bar.
You can keep your History but prevent it displaying in the dropdown list of the location bar, but that is the opposite of what you are asking about.

I cannot get Facebook to load. All other sites work fine. It will load if I disable all add-ons, but I have been unsucesssful determining which add-on is causing the problem.

I can get FB to load without problems in other browsers.

If that doesn't help yeah try a repair install of LabVIEW on what ever versions are acting funny.

New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

Hi there
I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Can't access a web/mail server, but all other sites show up fine

Going nuts here. Not sure if this is a network issue, Safari issue, OS issue....
I have an Aiport Extreme going into a cable modem. I have one hard wired iMac and several WiFi devices, including a MacBook Pro and an iPad running off the wireless network. Everything's been fine until...
As of last night, I am unable to pull up my professional web site or check my e-mail. Either the iMac directly connected to the APE (AirPort Extreme) can access it nor can my wireless devices on the wireless network. Every other site I draw up comes up just fine and I can access e-mail on other services (MobileMe for example). I have tried using Safari and FireFox on the Macs to test it also. Connection times out.
I have asked other people to pull up my web site and it comes up for them just fine every time. If I use my iPhone and turn off the wireless netowrk and just go over the 3G, my site and e-mail come in just fine.
I went into the APE and changed a few settings with no change. I then changed the mode from Shared Access to Bridge Mode and success, I was able to access my web site and e-mail again. However, this disables the network and any Internet sharing. Not viable. When I turn on the sharing again, the same problem happens. Right back where I was.
I have tried ordering the router to renew the lease...no joy. I'm at a loss. When I PING my web site address, I get " Request timeout for icmp_seq # ". Any idea what to do?
Thanks.

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

DW quits on one site, all other sites are fine

Problem:
- DW crashes in code mode or graphic mode as soon as I click
on most tags (Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.)
- This problem is pertinent to only one of many Coldfusion
sites i have
- crashes on every .cfm file in the site
Comments:
- file previews fine in Firefox or IE
Tried:
- redefined site, compared parameters to another working
Coldfusion site
- crashes whether Coldfusion app server is running or not
- reinstalling DW CS3 did not work because apparently my CS4
DW Beta won't uninstall
Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Can't connect to a site - all other sites working fine

Bizarre problem here: I can't connect to one particular site from my iMac. I have a WiFi network, using an Apple Airport Express. I can connect to this same site from my MacBook, connected to the same WiFi network.
Has any one encoutered this same problem before?

Have you tried resetting Safari or clearing the cache (vs a full reset)? The command is in the Safari menu. My wife's PC sometimes has a similar problem with IE occasionally and requires the cache to emptied to fix it.

My homepage won't load properly, but all other sites load fine.
