Problems loading web pages - Macbook Pro

Hi all, so this has been going on a lot recently and I have no idea why.
Websites on my Macbook Pro are slow to very slow to load, and sometimes won't load at all. For instance, YouTube hasn't worked on my laptop for approximately 2 weeks. The sites I go to most often tend to load alright, but there are times nothing will load. But it seems even in those times, my cell phone (which accesses my WiFi) loads webpages just fine when using my wireless internet.
I've had the same internet provider at two different houses, and it worked just fine with my laptop at my last residence. I've upgraded my router (2 months ago, seemed to help some) so that it is better suited to handle the number of devices and square footage. I have 20 mbps internet speed and it is pretty consistent.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Like I said, YouTube won't load at all (says data not received on Google Chrome, just never loads on Safari) and other web pages are slow to load if at all (also get a data not received on Chrome, nothing on Safari). Usually when this is going on I try different websites on my iPhone while it's on WiFi and my internet is working fine. At this point I just don't know what else to do.

Ditto, I think. I believe it started when I loaded Yosemite... Happens at work as well as at home (same Mac). I have a MacBook Pro 15 Inch Mid2010. Status bar shows that it starts to load and then just quits 1/8 of the way through.
It usually works after I restart my computer, but obviously that's not how I want to operate when I am working on important projects.
Any help would be awesome! Thank you.

    I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed a guest OS

    I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
    I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
    A summary of what I have tried:
    - Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
    - Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
    - Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
    - Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
    - Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
    - Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
    - Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
    Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
    Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

  • WRT330N Problems loading web pages (DNS??)

    I have a new WRT 330N.  I get a weird effect when using it.  While web surfing, it is common that the browser (IE or FireFox) will return an error that they can not find the web page.  If you reload many times you will finally load it.  I have a high latency link (Satellite), but before you suspect the satellite, my older Linksys router does not have this problem.  The error returns so quickly, I believe the router must be trying some kind of DNS caching or something.  After you have been to a site one time, it responds fine (for some period of time (Hours)), but the next day you get to enjoy the error again.
    This problem happens on both my PC and MAC.
    I have tried it without using any security (WPA or WAP) and with.
    I have changed my DNS servers, but am sure the ones I am using are quality.
    I have the 1.00.3 firmware.
    Thanks

    The problem is still here, but I think I have found more clues.
    If I look in the admin logs I se messages about blocked packets (No active connection). Could the router be loosing track of his TCP connections?
    Note: I tried turning off firewall security on the router.
    The text below has firewall on, but none of the three options is active.

  • Problems loading web pages - must dump cache to get them to load

    With increasing regularity I have been encountering a problem in Firefox where a link is selected and the message "waiting for..." appears in the status bar, but the page never loads. I clear the cache and start my navigation from the beginning and it works. However, a few more clicks and it stop again. I tried the same thing in Safari and the behavior is similar except Safari says "connecting", but never does. I click the link again and it connects.
    I thought it might be a problem with the dns coming from my router (NetGear) as it is serving up an extra dns ip address that does not appear in the router console. But, I am not sure. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm dying to get a resolution to this problem too. One minute webpages will load just fine, then another time, it might take 3 minutes. It's making me insane, and I'm tempted to dump this machine and get a PC. None of the PCs in my house are having issues, even the one that's running Win 7 RC version.

  • Ever since I upgraded tp 4.0, I've had problems loading web pages.

    About 80% of the time I click on a website, Firefox redirects me to some unrelated, unwanted page. Sometimes I can get to the intended website on a second attempt, but not always This never happened until I loaded 4.0. Is this a known issue that will be resolved, or am I stuck with this total frustration until a new version is available? Why am I constantly being redirected from what I want, even when I physically type the correct http:// . . . into the search?
    Also, Firefox keeps opening new websites with movies, music, gossip, and dozens of other unsolicited pages. Since everyone can block pop-ups, is this the new version of the pop-up? This is incredibly annoying because it stops me dead in my tracks with whatever I was doing and slows my computer. (It doesn't open a new tab; it opens an entirely new window.) How can I block these? And how do companies, without permission, open a new, unsolicited webpage on my computer?

    I seem to have rid myself of the TypeError situation. I had some programs blocked at start up which were always blocked I allowed them to be on and I also turned off the excellorator. And I no longer get that error. But I still cannot give gifts in my facebook games, so I have to go to Google Chrome to play the games

  • Safari won't load web pages while firefox has no problem

    Started having problems yesterday and couldn't load any web pages with Safari or get mail. I thought the internet connection was down (it had been down), but the phone gets access via the same home wireless network, and Firefox has no problem loading web pages. Even more bizzare is that the same issue is happening on the iMac and the Macbook: both cannot get mail with Mac Mail or load web pages with Safari, but can with Firefox. This problem seems to correlate with an internet outage - everything worked until the outage, but then didn't work when the internet was back up.

    Oh. Another weird thing. When I restart Safari, I can actually load one page. Just the front tab that was open when Safari closed. So odd. I did disable and re-enable DNS prefetching also to no avail also.

  • Having issues with loading web pages after using migration assistant

    Last week my old macbook pro died and i purchased a new 13" mbp. I brought it home the first day i bought it and just turned it on and started playing with it and the internet was blazing fast, no issues at all. I then brought it back to the apple store where they peformed a migration from my old hdd to my new macbook pro. I then took it back to my dorm and connected to the same exact internet and now i am having problems loading web pages. Sometimes the page will load on the first try (click) and other times it will hang there loading but never fully load the page, and if it does load somewhat certain things are missing from the page. So i have to click the link again, and again, and sometimes again for it to finally load correctly. I dont know what is wrong but i have a feeling it is files from my old system conflicting with new ones when it comes to loading web pages. Everything is up to date the OS and firefox and i am having the same issues in safari. Also my ipad and blackberry have no problem connecting to the wifi so that is not the issue. I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.

    If your still having problems, or anyone else......
    For future info, your in the wrong forum, your need the MBP area, this is the MacPRO area, no big deal, I can barely keep up with the M & B & P, etc...
    Sounds like when it migrated over your old settings it may have gotten corrupted? It has been known to work if you were to just make another "Location" and just re-enter the information again and sometimes that will help. You might take it back to the store and see if it does it on their connection also. The silly person should have tested it first before letting you go.
    Hope you got it fixed...

  • I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

    I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi.
    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

  • My macbook air is so slow at loading web pages

    Why is my Macbook Air suddenly so slow at loading web pages?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photo Stream, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • MacBook loads web pages too slowly

    Since updating to Yosemite, MacBook loads web pages much more slowly.  I did run an Etrecheck report.  If anyone can help me by interpreting it, I will attempt to post it.  Or if you have other suggestions, please advise.  I did change to an alternate DNS server already.
