My iMac will not load webpages, but my internet connection is fine.

I was watching a video on Hulu, and suddently I got a error that the website could not load. Since then, I can't load most pages (yet oddly I have found one page that still works.) Network diagnostics says that everything is working fine... and I can still connect to everything just fine with with my MacBook and iPhone on the same network. I have the same problem whether I am trying to use Safari or Google Chrome. Any ideas about what could make this happen all of a sudden? I have tried everything I have ever done when faced with a connectivity problem - I'm thinking it must be some specific setting on the computer that got messed up somehow.

Try using different DNS servers like OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).

IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen. In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet. I OS 10.9.5. Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.
Here are reasons for WiFi signal to fail even when they appear to be strong:

Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

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

Apple TV will not load NetFlix movies using wireless connection.

I recently purchased an Apple TV and tried to use it wireless with NetFlix. It simply will not load the movie. It starts to buffer and will not complete. Eventually I will get an error message after maybe 5 minutes. Completely unusable. I can run the AppleTV with ethernet and it works fine. I can also go to other content sites wireless and it works ok, although slow for things like Youtube. I can also run NetFlix from my ipad around the house without any problems. So it is definitely the AppleTV working wireless and most likely something specific to NetFlix. I get very good wireless download speeds in my house of between 30 and 60 Mbps. If I can't get this problem resolved I will be returning my AppleTV and try a different route because having to go ethernet is not practical for me.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Mac OS is connected to internet, but will not load webpages in any browser. Another Mac loads just fine. HELP!!!

My Macbook OS X 10.5.8 decided it didn't want to load any webpages anymore. I have tried both firefox and safari and get the same result. The tab will say connecting...but it never does. WHY!?!??!
I have four bars of WiFi connection.
Network diagnostics tests comes back "Connected" like there's no problem at all.
I have restarted my router and computer.
I have another Macbook Air that is connected just fine.
I have deleted and re-added the airport service.
I have renewed the DHCP Lease.
I have changed the router channel.
I have tried everything!!
Please help!

Nevermind, problem fixed. After reading how to setup router with cable modem I realized I need to goto main and clone router to cable modem. I did that and problem was solved.

Will not load webpages

I don't understand. Using either firefox or safari neither will open some webpages. Celtx.com and bbedit.com "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.bbedit.com/” because it could not connect to the server “www.bbedit.com”" HOWEVER... when I use my linux computer on the SAME network I can connect with no problem. WHY WHY WHY will it not load. I have turned off the firewall, reset everything like a bagillion times and still nada. what is going on here??
HELP!!
many thanks,

Firefox will not load pages but Internet Explorer (IE) will.

When tethered to my Android phone, Firefox (ver. 8.0) will not open most webpages, but Internet Explorer (ver. 9.0) will. I say Firefox will not open "most" pages because, oddly enough, it WILL open https pages, but NOT regular http pages. When I try to open any regular http webpage in FF, I see in the status bar the usual "looking up..." and "connecting to..." messages, but then all I get is a completely blank white screen. I get no error messages whatsoever, only this blank white browser screen.
When NOT tethered, FF works as normal when browsing to both https and regular http webpages.
Why would Firefox open secured https pages but not unsecured http pages?
As part of my attempts to diagnose/resolve this issue, I completely wiped/reformatted my harddrive and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and both FF8 and IE9.
Also, the issue arises regardless of which tethering method I use on my Android phone. That is, it happens whether I connect my computer wirelessly or via USB.
Lastly, the issue arises even when all add-ons are disabled and even uninstalled. I made sure to try the tether capability as I was reinstalling FF, before installing any add-ons and the issue persisted.

The problems are getting worse. I think I will have to give up on Firefox and go with the Google browser. No problems with IE just firefox and I can't take it anymore.

Firefox will not load webpages and has trouble quiting

Recently, firefox has randomly stopped being able to load pages as if the wireless was not work (redirected to the cannot find server page). I would think this was a problem with the internet, but when I restart my wireless it is not fixed and my other browsers do not see the same issue. When I restart firefox it works again, but I usually have to do this several times a day. Another issue, firefox will not quit when I do command Q. The window will close but the application will not quit, and I have to go and force quit it. Background info, using Macbook, wireless internet, firefox is up to date. Thanks for your help.

My IMac will not load installation software for Mobile Internet USB Plug

Hi, I have a new IMac(Leopard), and have recently loaded a new USB Mobile Internet Plug (SFR France) on to the machine in order to access the internet/mobileme.We live on a boat in France so being "connected" is so important to us.
The installation software is in the USB plug, it loaded successfully, connected and worked well for a period of time.
The IMac then seemed to "forget" the application, and did not open correctly and I had to "force quit" to continue.
I then removed the application and any bits I could find in other folders, and tried to re-install by inserting the plug again. The Icon to install only flashed on the desk top and disappeared so I could not perform this task.
I even tried to "restore" from Time Machine (and my external hard drive), the icon to install appeared on the desktop and I installed the application, but when I clicked onto the "connection icon" it jammed again and did not load.
I checked the status of the installation device by loading the program successfully on the Macbook Pro I have, and even loaded it onto a Dell PC and even had it checked at SFR, and all ok. So it appears the problem is with the IMac.
Any advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it is so frustrating!

I have had similar problems with both Sprint and Verizon units (Novatel u727 & u760). Solved both by going to provider sites and downloading SW.

Preferences Panel will not Load for ICloud or Internet Accounts

I am having issues with my iCloud and as a result my iCal is completely blank. In system preferences I try to click either iCloud or Internet Accounts and it reads "Preferences Error. Could not load Internet Accounts Preferences Pane." When I look in the console under diagnostic reports there was a crash log from around the same time the issue began titled CalendarAgent
It reads as follows:
0x10b8eb000 - 0x10b90aff7 com.apple.icloud.iaplugin (426-459) <DB692087-05B0-385A-9281-58C8EBEB607A> /System/Library/InternetAccounts/iCloud.iaplugin/Contents/MacOs/iCloud
Can everyone give any insight as to what is going on and how to correct the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello mogwai_100,
It may help to reinstall Mac OS X on your system. The directions in the article linked below are for Mavericks (OS X 10.9), but will work for OS X 10.7 and OS X 10.8 as well.
