Only some sites will load on my macbook air

Hello. I have a macbook air, and yesterday I downloaded Zoo Tycoon 2 (the mac version) to it. It worked fine and i played the game and then went to bed. This morning I woke up and my computer will only load certain websites. It will load google, and facebook, but when I search in google it wont pull up the searches and I cant watch netflix or youtube. Any ideas on what might be wrong and if there is any correlation with the game? I tried to delete everything from the game in hopes that it would make the internet work, but it didnt.

Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?

Internet Problem - One site will load, another won't. Then mintues later, the site that previously would load won't and the one that wouldn't will. I'm also pulling up a lot of pages in all text. Pics won't load or only one will load and the rest won't...

Several weeks ago, I began to have some very strange internet connection issues. All the lights on my modem stay on and my computer shows full wi-fi signal, but I suddenly I won't be able to load any pages. Other times, I'll be able to load pages from one site, but not another. It's not the same sites all the time though.... sometimes I'll be able to load pages from one site and not another, and then 5 minutes later it'll switch and I'll be able to load pages from the site I previously couldn't and I won't be able to load pages from the site I previously could. A lot of pages are coming up just text with no pics... and then 5 mintues later that site will load normally and another site will come up just text. It does the same thing whether I'm connecting wirelessly or via an ethernet cable. It also doesn't matter which browser I use (I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox). Although, once in a while when using chrome, I get a DNS error page instead of the usual 'cannot find server'. I contacted my service provider and I'm not losing speed or dropping packets. According to them, the problem I'm having is very strange since diagnostic tests show no problems at all. Perhaps someone has run into this before and has a suggestion?

Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router.

I open facebook or other site. right click link/photo to open in new tab quickly. Then all tab connection will be connection to website, all page stop loading. Have to close firefox and reopen then only site will load.

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.

Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...

Mac OS X - Firefox will not load intranet sites. Sites will load in any other browser

for my company's intranet site, Firefox will not load it. The site will load via Safari and Chrome. I have tried every solution outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a&as=aaq
I have done all the obvious as well (reset firefox, cleared cache, reinstalled, etc.). I am now on a different MacBook with a clean install of Firefox and am facing the same issue.
Thanks in advance for ideas/fixes.

Maybe you have this issue.

Since latest Firefox update, other web sites will load but Netflix will not. Netflix will load in Internet Explorer.

Does it matter whether you use www? Will the sign-in link open: https://signup.netflix.com/#do-login
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...
2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
3. If needed, remove the site's cookies in this dialog
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Will RAM upgrade on Macbook Air result in a bottleneck?
Hi I am planning to buy a Macbook Air with the base configuration, but was giving the RAM some thought. I was thinking of upgrading it from 4 GB 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM to 8 GB. With the student discount the upgrade will cost me an additional $90. I will be going to uni for life sci and will be be using it for work assignments, music, and maybe some small-time gaming. I currently don't really game much but maybe sometime in the future I may decide to play games such as LoL or Warcraft maybe? What I was wondering was that is it actually necessary to upgrade the RAM to be able to play these types of games without lag? I am fine with a little bit of low fps, as long as it isn't to noticable and stil fairly smooth. Maybe with like safari with music and a word processor and the game open, would the MBA be able to handle it effectively? Also, would the RAM upgrade be ineffective because of a "bottleneck" where the other specs limit the effectiveness of the increase in RAM? The rest of the specs are: 1.4 GHz dual-core Intel i5, Turbo Boost upto 2.7 GHz Intel HD Graphics 5000 128 GB PCle-based flash storage So overall, is it worth it? Will it make gaming significantly better, and more importantly, will 4 GB just be enough too? Thank you very much for reading that very long question! All answers will be appreciated!

Did you get a reply on that site?
Are you comparing 11-inch/13-inch MacBook/Air to 13"-15" MB/Pro?
A better idea would be to get the MacBook/Pro, since it has a better
processor and a higher RAM spec capacity, when or if upgraded.
More RAM will not be a bottleneck; a slow CPU processor & too much
demand could. Including video demand, and gaming is unlikely, too.
Check the specs at the Apple Store to compare MB/Pro w/ MB/Air;
even the basic MacBook Pro 13-inch without Retina has a fair CPU
and OK specs for most things; and you may be able to still upgrade
the RAM in that basic model (also has optical drive built-in) yourself.
See everymac.com and mactracker.ca for sources of specifications.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?

How do I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air? Can this be done only wirelessly?

No, you can transfer from a Mac wirelessly, wired ethernet, Thunderbolt or Firewire. Your older Mac must have the same connection, but you can use adaptors if necessary. For example, you can use an Ethernet cable with an Ethernet-Thunderbolt adaptor if your older Mac has an ethernet port.
Wireless tends to be pretty slow (can take many hours) so it's recommended to choose a wired connection whenever you can.

How to load matlab on macbook air

how to load matlab on macbook air?

There are two ways to use Windows on your Mac. The first is to partition the internal drive so that you can use one part for MacOS and the other for Windows, selecting which you want to use when you start up. That's called Boot Camp, and information about how to set it up and use it can be found in the document at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461 The disadvantage of this is that you can only run Mac or Windows at any given time, not both.
The other method is to use what is known as a 'virtual machine', to run Windows as if it were just another application within MacOS, thus allowing you to run both at the same time, and even share documents between them. To do this you'll need appropriate software such as VMware Fusion (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html) or Parallels Desktop (http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/) Neither of these need the drive to be partitioned, but unlike Boot camp which is free, VMware or Parallels are both commercial software.
Whichever solution you use, you'll also need a Windows installer and valid product license.

Will an 11-inch MacBook Air work with Snow Leopard?

Will an 11-inch MacBook Air work with Snow Leopard? If yes, can you downgrade from Yosemite to Snow Leopard?

1. For actually booting Snow Leopard, it depends on the model; click here and see what the mimimum OS for yours is.
2. All of them can run Mac OS X 10.6 Server inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop.

Can someone recommend a strong macbook case that will protect my 13" macbook air?

i need a case (NOT a shell) that will effectively protect my macbook air while it is in my bag so it wont bedented or bent in any way. price can not be over £70 and it MUST BE VERY STRONG.
Thanks Guys.

I know it's a bit late, but I have the Hard Candy Bubble sleeve, and I absolutely love it. The rubber bumpers on the inside make me very confident in its protection level. http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Candy-MacBook-11-inch-Ultrabooks/dp/B004B8VIR6/ref=cm _cr_pr_product_top/180-8173085-4460503

"Error loading media. File Could not be played" when trying to view streaming media on only some sites. How to fix?

Hi!
I've been having a problem trying to view streaming media, but it only happens on some sites. It's similar to a problem I have on my Windows PC, that's related to Adobe Flash, but since I'm very new to using my iPad Mini, I don't even know if Apple devices have Flash...do they?
Anyway, when I go to a site that's plagued by this issue, I tap the 'Play' arrow on my screen & the circle spins like it's gonna play, but then the screen turns black & this error message appears:
"Error loading media. File Could not be played" followed by a triangle with an exclamation point !
I read several articles online & the solutions ran from updating firmware in their router, (mine is brand new...installed last Thursday), to disabling ad-block programs in their browsers...(I don't have any enabled), and the last one was making changes to the DNS...(I know it means 'domain name server', but I don't have the foggiest idea how to make changes to it!
Anyway, that's my problem. I hope that someone out there knows what I can do to fix it!
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the about:config page:
*media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
*media.directshow.enabled

FF5: Some sites will not load, but no error messages

I'm using Firefox 5 on Windows Vista Home SP1.
Since I upgraded to FF5, some sites either simply will not load. No error messages are given - the green circle icon in the tab just keep spinning.
There's two pages that I visit daily that this happens to (though there are other pages).
For the page http://diablo.incgamers.com, on the bottom left of the page it says "Read ssl.gstatic.com".
The other page is http://www.jewelrydod.com but there's no message like the other page.
Both of those sites load properly in Chrome and in IE.
The pages also do not load in Firefox in Safe Mode.
Help?
Thanks!!!!
Paul
