My macbook pro doesn't load facebook (although the internet works perfectly for other sites).

I've tried three different browsers (safari, firefox, chrome)
Here is a copy-paste of the ping to facebook
Ping has started…
ping: cannot resolve https://www.facebook.com: Unknown host
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I've got no network software running in the background (other than dropbox), and I don't think I've set up a custom DNS... Not really sure how to check what it is. Does anybody have this problem?
P.S This is an on and off thing, sometimes facebook loads, sometimes it doesn't. Using computers connected to the same WiFi, I can freely access Facebook with no issues.

I had the same problem, and I just fixed it. See this thread-https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4612888?start=0&tstart=0
Let me know if this works!

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • MacBook Pro will not load Facebook

    MacBook Pro will not load Facebook, pictures on Pinterest, and will not play any Youtube videos. I already checked for software updates and it is still not working. This is happening in both firefox and safari.

    You have to do more than just check.  If flash player is out dated, you must download & install. 

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

    Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

  • My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages

    my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages.  The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook.  Any suggestions??

    Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

    I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

    Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

  • Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

    I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
    My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
    I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
    I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
    When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
    I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue.  Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
    I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • My MacBook pro doesn't turn off whith the "turn off" command in the apple menu

    When I try to Restart or Turn off my MacBook Pro in the apple menu the Display turns blue undefinitely but Turn off with de Power Button.

    Sounds like you need a SMC Reset, have a Magsafe issue, perhaps a battery issue. Perhaps a power issue in your location, try another outlet, location or power line.
    See #1 here and let it charge overnight.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If you don't want to deal with the local Apple Authorized Reseller, call Apple/AppleCare and since it's under warranty they will send the machine to one of their Apple Authrized Repair centers.
    You can take the machine to a local Apple Store and they will test it too, bring the Magsafe as well, it might be broken or not conecting correctly.

  • Macbook Pro freezes when i'm on the internet, help!

    When i'm on the internet, on facebook or youtube sometimes my mac takes forever to load or doesn't end up loading the webpage. When this happens I just restart my laptop. Is there something wrong with my mac? Is there anyway I could fix this problem myself? I just got my mac only 2 to 3 weeks ago so I'd hate to have to already exchange or repair my macbook pro laptop.

    Before you embark on Carolyn's 'nuclear solution' just try my suggestion first. If your Mac then works:
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Macbook pro occasionally fails to connect to the internet

    Hi...  A few months ago I bought a new 15 inch Retina display MacBook Pro.  it's the third macbook pro I've owned but the first with the following problem.  About 5% of the time, when I boot the computer it fails to connect to my home network.  While this is happening I will click on Network Diagnostics.  I will, one at a time, walk through the following screens of that diagnostic tool..
    Select Location...  Always shows my Location so I click Continue
    Choose network port configuration...  That always shows the correct Wi-Fi radio button selected so I again click Continue
    Select Wi-Fi Network...  It always shows my home network so again I just click Continue
    Then comes the interesting part.  The next screen that comes up is the one where you choose between DHCP or PPPoE.  The moment that screen comes up, first DHCP is already selected which is correct.  But more importantly the moment that screen comes up, the network connects and a new window opens up that says,
    Network Change Detected.
    Your network configuration has changed.  Click OK to proceed to the next step
    What could be wrong that prompts the system to fail to connect once in a while even though it seems to only need me to click through the Network Diagnostic without actually doing anything and when I get to this DHCP screen, boom it connects by itself???
    Any ideas of what's going on???
    thanks... bob...

    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
        Restart the computer.
        Start up in Safe Mode.

    2. Deselect Proxies if selected.

        Click "OK" then  "Apply”.

  • FireFox will not load facebook Or my games homepage and many other sites. It wont even let me clear the history like one artical said, But internetexplorerwill.

    Firefox will not load Facebook.com, OR any of my gaming homepages. An artical Told em to clear history but it frezzes right in the middle. When i click on facebook itll Go to it And stop At "transfering data from (many diff things each time) And it frezzes, I ahve to open up task manager to get rid of it. Please help! it does this with many other sites also. This also started happening right after i came back with my computer from my grandmas.

    You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
    Does it work better after a reset?
