OSX not loading webpages.. happens randomly.

At random times, I am unable to load certain webpages on my Macbook Pro, running 10.6.4.
I am on my home network, my ISP is Road Runner through Bright House, and I am connecting wirelessly via a Belkin F6D4230.
Other computers in the home are able to access the same websites, which leads me to believe that this is a DNS issue. I have flushed my DNS cache several times, tried different web browsers, and even tried using the IP addresses for the website instead of the URL. Using the IP address works, but once I try to advance through the webpage, I run into the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is incredibly frustrating for me.

Are the other computers Macs running the same operating system?
Have you tried loading the said websites bringing your Mac to a WiFi hotspot like a coffee shop? Some Mac operating systems don't like it when wireless routers don't have firmware updated. Testing it outside that area, would indicate if the issue is connecting with the router, or with the Mac in question.

  • 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

  • Safari does not load webpages.

    Hello, I have recently had a problem with webpages not loading in Safari. Some pages load up fine while others attempt to load but end up saying that "Safari cannot find the server." Does anyone know what the problem might be? I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and Safari 7.0.1, I have also noticed some pages take extemely long to load. This was never a problem before it had just started happening over the past couple of days. Thanks for your help.

    HI,
    Several things to try.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems accessing some websites...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If third party Safari add-ons aren't the issue, Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    And repair disk permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • 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,
    c

    Deleted Peer Guardian! Works! THANK YOU!!! Sorry apple for getting mad at you! I do love you

  • Safari Not Loading Webpage Menus

    My Safari does not load all webpage menus correctly.  I'm trying to book some flights and KLM and Expedia work fine, but the pop-up calendar for the British Airways website seems stuck on January and Etihad will not give destination options in it's drop down menu.  I have tried these sites on other computers and everything works fine.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi ...
    Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode.
    Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel, If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If you haven't emptied the cache or reset Safari lately...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    From the menu bar again, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    Since you are running Lion installing the Java for OS X Lion Update 1 may help also.
    Restart your Mac after the update is installed. Try Safari.

  • UIWebView not loading webpage

    Howdy...
    I'm trying to get a webpage to load inside of my application but the page never seems to load.
    I am loading my webView controller page from another view controller..
    I have the view loading and my title is changin according to my script but i don't know whta i'm missing to make the webpage load in my UIWebView.
    here is the code i've got...
    The function gets called once a button is pushed..
    -(IBAction)showWebsiteInfo{
    WebViewController *viewController = [[WebViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"WebViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
    viewController.title = @"Website";
    NSString *urlAddress = @"http://www.google.com";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
    NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:ur];
    self.webView = viewController;
    [viewController autorelease];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.webView animated:YES];
    +everything between the lines is my code... i dont know why it's being formatted like that!!!+
    I'm not getting any compiler errors so my scirpt "should" work but it's not loading my webpage...
    thanks for any help provided..
    -Steph

    Yes, you are correct WebViewController is my nib and my class file name
    the big picture looks like this..
    i have a table view that once a cell if selected it will load a new view with buttons... one of these buttons is the one that will load my WebViewController.
    The IBAction for my button is in the ToyViewController, once click i want it to open the webpage pertaining to the toy in question (for testing purposes i put google.com)...
    It took me a long time to get the WebViewController working and now i can't get the UIWebView to work
    I read on other forums that the UIWebView is sometimes make really small and you can't view it but this is not the case. I changed my background color and i can see the UIWebView perfectly...
    one more thing that might help
    i've been playing with header file for my WebViewController and i was wondering if the @interface makes a difference
    i had it like
    @interface WebViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>
    @interface WebViewController : UIViewController
    and they both work but i'm not sure what the difference is...
    would i be better off making a subview of the ToyViewController class??
    I'm sorry for all the answers i've been on this for so long... your help is really appreciated... thanks

  • Web browsers not loading webpages

    Overnight, a couple of days ago, my web browsers (Safari and Chrome) both stopped loading webpages. When I click on a link, I get a blank page. But when I am logged as a guest or browse through Vmware's windows I can still browse normally. Thanks for helping to fix this.

    Thank you Carolyn,
    I've got Sophos installed from long time ago. That's the only antivirus that is installed.
    Checking in firewall settings didn't help I think, cause even after desactivating the firewall temporaly didn't fix the issue in both web browsers.
    This issue is not discussed in Mac malware guide.
    Another detail, is that some web content will load like this discussion group or google search. But If I click on any item from google search, the page won't load.

  • 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).

  • Safari 5.0.6 not loading webpages for over 40 minutes...

    Hi!   Just today when I was using the iMac 10.5.8, Safari did not load the webpages like it would normally do. Sometimes when you click on it, it wouldn't even load. The webpages don't load and the blue bar stops there. Anyone have a solution?? Thanks.

    If Safari is getting very slow:
    (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
    and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up* as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here:   http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions and here:  http://www.opendns.com/technology/opendns-vs-google-public-dns/ )
    and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    * as confirmed by: http://lifehacker.com/5835775/google-dns-and-opendns-users-are-getting-a-web-spe ed-boost
    and Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    but results may vary depending on where you are located.
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x onwards as is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
    If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The later versions of Flash 10.1 onwards appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
    For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:

  • Ebay auction images will not load, only happens in FF

    in the actual listing for an item, the ebay hosted pictures (the ones that show on the top left of the screen), will not load. they will just say "image not availabe". all other images load, be it the thumbnail images when looking thru searched listings or the sellers own hosted images. I do not have this problem with any other sites.
    if I use IE, the images load. so, its some sort of Firefox issue. I am on the latest (12.0).
    I do have NoScript, Ad-Block Plus, FoxReplace and Menu Editor add-ons, but none of these are casuing the issue. I looked to see if anything may of been blocked, but there is nothing ebay related that has been blocked since this has been starting.

  • My Firefox is not loading webpages with the extention .php Why Is This and How Can I Open .php Files In Firefox?

    my firefox 4 web browser is not loading web pages with the file extention .php what can i do to load .php web pages in firefox?

    No, I know full well what .chm files are, and how to search for info about them. I'd rather have an answer to the specific question I asked, which I asked for specific reasons.
    You seem to have ignored my question, and leapt to massive assumptions about what I "really" need, and it's puzzling that you persist with them even after I've told you your assumptions are wrong. Your answers come across as somewhat patronising, maybe intentionally so - is that what you intended? Why would you do that?

    Same thing started after updating to 3.6.6 on Window XP. Some pages load after doing "shift - Reload page", but not always. Error Console is showing a lot of "Errors" and lots of "Warnings" from pages that do not load. But before 3.6.6 update the pages loaded OK.

  • Safari Will Not Load Webpages since iCloud and osx software update

    I already had updated to osx lion, and this was just a package update for it, including iCloud.  Ever since I am able to open safari no problem and occasionally after about 5mins it will load a webpage.  I also use firefox and opera and i do not have a problem with either of those but I would prefer to continue using safari if it can be fixed.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And could be a third party plugin preventing pages from loading as they should. Troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
