Problems with Safari - server not found  - for no reason!

Just in the last week when I go to a webpage (and it can be any random page and its intermittent) it will come up blank saying "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found" HOWEVER there is nothing wrong with my internet connection or with the website I am trying to navigate to.
Example, I wanted to go to mailcall couriers. I click on the link on my favourites bar, I get the above error message. I got to google and try access it, same thing. I go to google and click on a sub page link (like contact us) and it is fine and I can then navigate to their working home page from there.
Safari seems to do this routinely with some pages but not all, and not always the same ones. Sometimes the pages will open sometimes I will get this error - but if I try opening that same page at teh same time on my ipad its fine! So it is not the website or the internet.
I have tried resetting safari, clearing cache etc... to no avail.
NOW, on a similar note, I have numerous open pages in safari on my iphone 5S - as of today - all thos pages are coming up witht eh same above error message and wont open
Safari 7.0.1
Any help is much appreciated as this is driving me insane.

What would cause this is just what I mentioned above.
You MUST be using a valid Domain Name Server to look up your symbolic addresses into IP addresses so that sites can be contacted. It is easy to get a bad DNS Server, and the information sometimes comes from bad info entered into your Router. Bad DNS references can also be caused by certain malware.
You must use one of:
• The EXACT numbers provided by your ISP.
• The numbers provided by a Public DNS server such as (in the USA) Google DNS  or Open DNS

  • Video images won't load, error message says "problem loading page/server not found

    when i select videos to watch, they have symbol in the top left hand corner but blank everywhere else. if i right click on the symbol i get an error message "problem loading page/server not found" but i'm already logged in to the website. this just started happening today after having watched 100's of videos for years on the same sites. i haven't changed any settings that i know of, but i have tried several different troubleshooting tips but nothing helps. i have windows xp. and i use firefox exclusively. what can i do?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Firefox does not display "Server not found" for unexist. sites, rather Firefox display previous page or blank page.

    Firefox displaying regular site (address), something like: http://www.monitor.hr/, and everything is fine. Next, I write something that do not exist (site do not exist, or it is temporary out of function, etc). So, in Firefox address bar I will write something as: http://www.news-bar.hr (at this very moment, I know this site is under DOS attack, and site is not available). But my Firefox is still presenting "last correct site" ie www.montior.hr. This behaviour is wrong. Instead "last correct site", Firefox must display message "Server not found", or something simmilar.
    Same behaviour exist if I start from "blank-page". I write some "wrong address" into address bar, and after some time, page is still blank, again there is no "server not found" info.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Firefox 5 gives "Server not found" for all URLs - fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64

    Under a fresh install of Fedora 15 x86_64 on an Intel box, Firefox 5 (firefox.x86_64 5.0-2.fc15) will not display web pages. Internet connection and DNS resolution function correctly. For instance, I can correctly 'ping fedoraproject.org' but giving Firefox the URL 'http://www.fedoraproject.org' reults in a "Server not found" message. What needs to happen to get the URLs to resolve in Firefox?

    No, that was my fault. I updated my release scripts yesterday and the new ones did not create the database signature symlink. I just fixed it about 10 minutes ago.
    Change the SigLevel back to Required, otherwise Pacman will not verify the databases. Everything should be working again.
    Cheers, upgrading is back to normal (good work on the repo btw)

  • RS480M2-IL - problems with "PS2 Mouse not found"

    Hello!
    I bought RS480M2-IL motherboard. The first strange thing was the post about "not know processor", but i have fixed by upgrading it to the 1.4 version. You should to know also that I have USB mouse. When I am starting my computer I can see the post which says: "PS2 Mouse not found". It is a very big problem for me, because I wanted to run a Jabber server on it. After restart it won't get up. Is there any clue or something which will fix it? Don't tell me, that I must wait for new BIOS version. 
    Thanks for help  :azn:
    Regards.
    kapsel03

    RS480M-IL = s754
    RS480M2-IL = s939
    I assume you have the s754 version because s939 bioses start with 3.x.
    I have the same problem using bios 1.4.
    This is a bios issue that hopefully will be fixed in the next bios version.
    I found a temporary workaround though. Go into the bios --> Standard CMOS Features --> Halt On --> [No Errors].

  • Safari download problem with Safari but not with Internet Explorer.

    When I drag photos from web-sites via Int.Explorer they end up on my desktop as little pictures. I can see what they are. When I do it with Safari they end up as pages with a turned corner & JPEG at the bottom. The only way to see what they are is to click them for Preview to open.
    Why does Safari not do as Int.Explorer & is there any way of making it do so?

    Found the answer in Mac OS Help, topic "Changing the way icons look on the desktop";
    Click the background, select View > Show View Options from the menu; check "Show icon preview" in the pop-up menu. Now try copying images from Safari to your desktop!

  • Problem with kfmclient (command not found)

    Today, I tried to run the CUPS web configuration tool, but it failed to run (ie. open the page in Firefox).  I executed the command in the terminal to check for errors, and it said "kfmclient: command not found".
    When I checked pacman for kfmclient, no such package exists.  How do I install kfmclient?

    Just an additional information,
    for 'command not found' problems, pkgtools in community should be helpful. It also have a bash hook to find the package automatically on that error.
    Thanks, regards,

  • Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

    First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
    About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
    I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

    Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
    I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
    Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
    I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
    I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

  • I can't fix the "Server Not Found" error

    Ok, when I started up Firefox I was greated with a "Server not found" error, so I thougt to myself, " Ok, I'll just follow the instructions shown". Didn't help, still didn't work. So I dcided to use Internet Explorer until the issue fixed itself, didn't work. So I tried the 64 bit version, that worked. So basically what I'm trying to ask is: is there a 64 bit version to Firefox, or is another solution what i need?

    Close all of your anti-virus software and restart your FF.

  • Problem with Safari - Solutions?

    I have had a problem with Safari (3.1.1) for a while and have been waiting for each update to fix it. I was wondering if it is a problem everyone is having, or if not, what can I do to fix it.
    Here is the problem - for the RSS feeds there is a number in parentheses next to the Bookmark folder name. This number is always correct (although it might take a second or so to update). But sometimes menu items do not show the a corresponding number in parentheses. When I quit and startup Safari, the number of RSS items now appears next to the menu item.
    Any ideas about how to fix this?

    Hi,
    I have had similar problems to those you described. The solution that worked for me was deleting the RSS feed and then creating a new RSS feed.

  • Work around for server not found problems on FF36

    I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
    If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
    Preferred: 8.8.8.8
    Alternate: 8.8.4.4
    Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
    Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
    It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
    Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

    Well done. Thanks for finding that.
    That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.

    With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.

  • No internet, "PPPoE Server Not Found" message. Same problem with both old and new modems.

    Help please!
    My internet connection with my old Westell 6100 modem was working fine, then quit all of the sudden and would not restart. The DSL and Data lights on the Westell modem were both green. The Internet light alternated between red and off.
    I tried every troubleshooting thing I could think of:
    Powering down and re-starting the modem and computer.
    Resetting the modem.
    Checking all of the wire and jack connections.
    I plugged my computer ethernet cable straight into the modem, bypassing my router.
    I tried both Windows and Mac computers.
    I plugged the modem directly into the network interface on the outside of my house to bypass all of my house wiring.
    I checked all my phone jacks with a telephone tester to make sure both phone lines were working and not reverse-wired.
    I made sure I did not have a DSL filter installed on the modem line.
    Verizon Tech Support did a line test and told me the line was fine but that there might be a problem with either my modem or something at the "central office" (not sure what that means). Verizon also sent me a new router as well -- a D-Link DSL-2750B.
    The new D-Link router also does not connect to the internet (same problem). The DSL, Data, and Internet lights are all green on the D-Link. I have the computer directly connected to the modem with a new ethernet cable. I repeated the above troubleshooting steps. I went into the router configuration 192.168.1.1 and ran the modem's "Internet Troubleshooting" tests.
    There were two error messages on the router configuration screens:
    1."PPPoE Server not found" error message is shown on the summary screen.
    2."No internet infrastructure present. Please call your infrastructure provider." is shown in the "internet troubleshooting" test results.
    Verizon had me change some settings inside the router configuration -- no dice. Verizon ran another line test. A "Level 2 Tech" took over the call and told me that he thinks that the cause of the problem is that the outside wiring coming to my house is reverse-wired. How can this be true since my DSL worked for 2 years before this, my phone line tester indicates my phone lines are wired the right way, and my router reports "PPPoE Server Not Found?"
    Verizon is sending out a repair tech to check the outside wiring but I don't think that is the problem at all.
    HELP!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're getting DSL sync (solid DSL light), this sounds like a case of a bad line card to me. I've seen it happen before where it wasn't an account or route issue to the network.
