One specific website won't load

While browsing the internet on my laptop (late 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor), I have one specific website that will not load. It's worked in the past, but has suddenly stopped working.
My software and OS are up-to-date (OS X 10.9.5), and I've scanned for viruses (Intego VirusBarrier). I've tried multiple networks (WiFi only, no ethernet), haven't changed my network or firewall settings, and have tried disabling my firewall (Intego NetBarrier). I've tried multiple browsers (Safari, Firefox, and Chrome), reset Safari to clear my cookies and cache, and have disabled the one browser extension I use.
I've been able to access the site on other computers and on my iPhone, all on my primary network. I've opened the terminal and used the host command, and I know my computer is able to interpret the site's IP (something about verifying the DSN?). As best I can tell, this is not an issue with the website, but with my laptop.
Any ideas?

I have a few suggestions to try:
1) Completely uninstall VirusBarrier. There is simply no need for additional antivirus or firewall products on a Mac with a current OS version. Third-party firewall and antivirus products cause more problems on Macs than the ever prevent.
Next, do the following side-by side on both your Mac that can't visit the site and one that can. Compare what you see between the two.
2) Check "System Preferences" > "Network" > "Advanced" > "Proxies". None of the boxes should be selected under "select a protocol".
2) Check "System Preferences" > "Network" > "Advanced" > "DNS".
3) Open a terminal window, enter the following command and hit return:
cat /etc/hosts
You should only see the following entries:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
If you see additional entries let us know.
After comparing your Proxy, DNS, and hosts file of a Mac that can reach the site and the one that can't, let us know what differences you see.

One specific website won't load on my MacBook Pro

So, the title says it all pretty much.
I've been accessing this website for nearly 6 months, daily. A few days ago, it just stopped loading (Safari and Chrome), it says it's loading the webpage but then says the webpage won't load. At first I thought it was because the website was down, but I could access it using my PC, Phone and iPad (same wifi connection) and still can, it just refuses to load on my MacBook and I can't figure out why!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Tried this also.
Since posting, these are the things I have tried;
Safari Reset
Chrome Reset
Tried using private browsing/incognito
Macbook restart
Wifi restart
Complete router restart
Changed DNS to 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8
Checked my anti virus software preferences for blocking websites
Un-installed anti virus software
Disabled Ad-Blocker
Un-installed Ad-Blocker
I then tried using the Guest account - still didn't work, so I did everything listed above on the guest account, still no luck.

One website won't load

One specific website will not load on my mom's computer. She has a MacBook, w/ 10.4.11.
- The website loads fine on my MacBook, also running 10.4.11, on the same wireless network
- The website loads fine on computers outside of our network, PCs running IE, etc.
- The internet in general is working, it just will not load the one specific website
- I cannot get the website to load in Safari or Firefox on her computer. They work in both browsers on my computer.
- We have tried emptying the cache, restarting the computer, restarting Safari, etc.
Any suggestions?

Try using OpenDNS servers. System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS. In the left side column click on the + sign and add the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK. Then click Apply.

After upgrading to Mavericks, some websites won't load (using wifi)?

Hey guys,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Mavericks last December. I had some problems when loading some websites (such as eBay, Society6, etc) while I was at home using my home wifi in Indonesia. It's like, sometimes these websites won't load, but sometimes they do.
I've tried different browsers and it's still the same. I thought, it was just the wifi at my home in Indonesia that's problematic, because at work (using cable), the internet's just fine. But THEN, I am now here in Australia, I don't usually have problems with my aprtment's wifi at all, but now it's doing that thing. Some websites won't load properly or won't load at all. I realized that this is most likely has something to do with my laptop (ie. upgrading to Mavericks. I've never had this problem before), because the wifi works just fine with my smartphone and my iPod.
Has anyone encountered similar problem? How do you fix this?
Thanks so much,
S

Hello sharlegit
Try creating a new network location and test to see if the same thing happens of certain websites not working.

Flashplayer not working on one specific website

Recently, flashplayer stopped showing embedded videos on a specific webpage. Blank white space appears where the video should be. I can right click on this white space and launch the FP settings program, but the embedded videos neither show nor play. It is only one specific website--FP works on Youtube and (thus far) everywhere else I've tried it. The specific webpage I'm experiencing the problem with does not show flash content in either Firefox and IE.
I fear I've changed some setting for this specific page, but for the life of me, can't figure out what that setting might have been. I've been through all the checklists on the Adobe site that I can find, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone experienced anything similar? And how did you solve the problem?
Thanks?

Sorry.
I'm using Windows 7 (vers 6.1)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16540 Update versions: 10.0.4 (KB2817183)
Flashplayer vers is 11,7,700,202 (I've reinstalled it a couple of times today).
the webpage is my own http://jagobcwrestlingart.blogspot.com/ . There is an embedded video is the very latest entry (April 6). The embedded videos do work for everyone else (I've tested it on a friend's computer myself). Apparently I am the only one unable to view the embedded videos on my own site!

Websites won't load properly

Hi
After just fixing my wifi problem (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1345209) I am able to access the internet but I have a problems loading pages from some websites. The browser will say that I have loaded the page fully, but none of the flash, javascript, or backgrounds will load. Some pictures, but not most of them would load. The page is a white background with text and links and a couple small pictures. The text is a default font and only the links are a color other than black. Most sites will work, but a few big one's won't.
Some sites that won't work:
youtube.com (This wasn't working and then it worked for about three days and now it's not working again. It worked on all of the other computers in the house, mac or windows.)
facebook.com (This won't load on any of the mac computers in the house, but will work on our windows laptop.)
flickr.com
Sites that do work:
Google.com
apple.com
pretty much anything else.
This problem persists on both Firefox and Safari. I have tried restarting the computer, deleting the preference (.plist) files for both browsers, checking my firewall settings, and nothing has worked.
Does someone know what is wrong?
Cameron

I still haven't resolved this problem. Here is some more information...
youtube is the only website that has started working, but it sometimes stops working again.
There are many other sites that don't work, cnn.com, washingtonpost.com (sometimes), and a lot of others.
I have contacted our internet service provider and they said that they had nothing to do with the problem.
Some websites will not work at all. Safari tells me that it can't find the server. Some that do this are ups.com, computerworld.com, and others.
I think that the problem is that, for some reason, our mac computers can't access certain servers where we are. (We are at a small ski resort (on the mountain) in Canada.) I think this because when a site doesn't load properly there are several errors and they are all "can't find host" errors from a couple of the same sites (ex. example.something.something).
*Also, I ran a test on speedtest.net on the laptop and one of our iMacs and the results were way faster than anything actually loads/downloads or than the activity monitor shows, even when checking the activity monitor at the same time as running the test.

Netflix website won't load correctly on new Macbook pro.

The Netflix WEBSITE isn't loading correctly on my new macbook pro. The < > arrows used to scroll through movies on the homepage don't seem to be working. When you click/hover over them nothing happens. Also, the title and description box that usually appears when you hover your mouse over a movie isn't showing up either...and lastly the box where you can filter the movies you want to see in a specific category "Ex. "Dark comedies, Romantic comedies, Foregin Comedies etc.." isn't showing up.
Im assuming this is an issue with either safari or the macbook itself because I don't know what else it could be. I tried clearing all cookies,
cache, and history but it didn't help. The movies are streaming fine it's just the website that messed up. All other websites seem to be working fine though.

Probably a Java issue. Try another browser and also try loading Java from www.java.com. BTW, the current version won't run properly in Safari, so you'll probably end up running FireFox anyway.

Videos on website won't load/play immediately

hello everyone,
i've been trying to find an answer for a week now but without much luck.
using adobe flash catalyst, i recently created a website with 20 uploaded videos (FLV format; ranging from 2mb ~ 40mb each) and when you click onto any one of them, they will load and play. but here's the problem - they won't play immediately (won't load and play at the same time, WHILE being downloaded in the background - unlike youtube), and most of the time when you click on a video, you'll have to wait (the loading bar won't even start downloading until a good 20-30 seconds after clicking play) while some videos load and play immediately.
my question is, what do i need to do so my videos will load/play almost immediately after clicking play, while simutaneously being downloaded in the background? is there a way to preload my videos?
i understand i'll need flash builder to code all this?
i'm new to making websites and i would appreciate all the help given.
kenny

Drat! You might try looking through the Flash Builder forums to see if they might have a video playback tips. There might some property that Flash Catalyst is not exposing or something in the app itself that needs to be changed.
If you have Flash Professional, you could try creating a simple FLV player using it and see what the performance is like from the server.

Firefox slow to start and websites won't load?

Setup: Windows Vista. Firefox 4.0.1. McAfee Total Protection 2011. Wireless home network.
As of yesterday everything worked well. Tonight I am having problems 1) connecting to the internet - I have to reconnect to my router before it accesses the internet 2) Firefox either doesn't start or is very slow 3) when it does finally slow, all the websites eventually time out and won't load.
Last night I extended my McAfee - didn't have to d/l or install anything and earlier today my computer did some kind of update. The only way I can get any websites to open is to shut off the firewall in McAfee, then things seem to work fine but I don't want to leave it off for obvious reasons. Oh and I did set up a new Windows user profile for my kids but I don't see how that would really affect anything.
Is there some kind of setting I need to change? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Flash website won't load in IE since installing Wordpress

I have a flash website that's been running fine, but since I installed Wordpress on that server, the SWFs won't load from Internet Explorer. It still works fine in Firefox on both the Mac and Windows platforms. The Flash website is not associated with the WP blog at all, but it exists along side. I tried moving the blog folder up a level, farther away from the Flash site, but it didn't help. IE will see the index page, and the html elements, but no longer will load the flash. It's was working fine before. I should mention that there is also a b2 evolution blog installed in another directory on the server, if that makes any difference.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Thank you for any suggestions!

Sorry for posting, I'm an idiot I made some edits to my index.html file and forgot to save out that pesky .js file that IE needs. It's just coincidence that I happened to install Wordpress the same day. Oh well, everythings OK now!

Specific website will not load

Am having a problem with 1 single website (www.cff.org) that won't load on my MacBook. Neither Firefox nor Safari can access the site.
It seems to be a problem on my local machine as I have tried on 4 different WIFI networks (with different ISp's). Using PC's on those networks i didn't have a problem accessing the site.
Strange thing is that when I connect my MacBook via ethernet cable, the site does load!!
Have tried flushing cache, also looked at firewall settings but cannot get it to work.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated!!

Hans, I solved my particular problem courtesy of a 4-year-old post I found at
www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t37321-another-linksys-router-blocking-some-sites .html
This guy mentions the MTU size being set too high and talks about a web-based tool to test it. I ran the test and it suggested my MTU was set too high. My MTU was at the default of 1492 which normally ought to be ok. Still, I reduced it to 1400 and instantly the websites I couldn't view became accessible. I hope you can try this out.
To check your MTU setting, you need to access the settings of your router. You'll have to find the router user guide to see how to do this. I recommend you connect to the router hard-wire, not wifi, as wifi settings can get interrupted when you play with router settings. Good luck!

Website won't load on iPhone? Not Flash.

Hey guys, the website http://www.esysco.ca won't load on my iPhone. It's not Flash so I don't really understand why. Anyone have any answers?
Thanks!
Jillian

It's a very stupidly made website. For some unknown reason they have used Javascript to load the page contents into a frame and also they redirect the user if they try to load the frame contents directly.
There's absolutely no reason for them to do this. Their web developers must be clueless and have not tested their site on anything other than computer browsers with mouse input.

One web page won't load in any browser

I have one site that all of a sudden, won't load in any stand-alone browser (have tried Firefox, Camino, Safari, Opera). I get a time-out error. The will load, however, if I use the AOL browser or a cloaking site. I checked with my ISP which says it doesn't block any site. In fact, the rep said he had no problem going directly to the site. I have turned off firewall, shut down and restarted AirPort and DSL modem, reloaded software to AirPort, all to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or how to fix it?

That site works fine for me.
You need Flash to use their facility.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.

How can I allow ads to be displayed on one specific website?

In order the be able to use a specific website, admins will only allow continious use if I allow the page's ads to be displayed on my computer (has to do with funding the page). I do not block any on purpose, nor can I find how to unblock for this specific website. I did check 'Permissions'. For this site all cookies and pop-ups are allowed, but still no ads appear. I need to solve this issue soon, otherwise I'll get kicked off... :(
Where/which are the settings that need to be adjusted?
I really hope someone can help out soon. Thanks in advance!

Specific sites won't load - connection reset

Until three days ago www.naplesnews.com was loading just fine. Since then, the site and its sister site marconews.com won't load. Every other website I use loads properly. The situation is the same with my wife's laptop. We use a wireless modem. The problem exists with both FF 16 and IE9.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
