Safari and Firefox won't load images on wireless network

I have been struggling with a problem for weeks. When using my MBP on my wireless internet some web pages won't load at all "server is not responding". On other sites images won't load.
I have Cox as my ISP and my PC desktop has no issues.
Running XP on parallels also has the same issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, maybe we have a cache or other problem...
Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Does anyone know why safari and firefox won't load certain pages

    Hi
    I can't get safari and firefox to load certain pages.  For me it's a website programme that i'm using.  I can get into the programme but then certain pages won't load.  This suddenly happened about 3 weeks ago with Safari.  I then loaded Firefox and it worked fine for a few days and now i'm having the same problem and it's the same pages that won't open.  I also have trouble getting other sites to load completely, such as this site.  It's so frustrating as i can't finish building my website and my laptop is only new!
    Help someone, if you can

    Hi again and thanks for replying
    I can go into their website, cloudaccess and use that properly.  I just can't use my own website properly.  When i say website, my site isn't yet built.  The site i'm trying to access is the backend of joomla.  I can't load it and use some of it but not all of it.
    I can access the site through my old laptop (and use it fully) which is a windows one but i can't access it via this one.  I thought it was a cloudaccess problem but seeing as it's only my mac i can't access it through, i'm presuming it's my computer.  I also tried it through firefox and explorer on my windows laptop and it was fine.  It was ok on this laptop until a few weeks ago when it suddenly wouldn't load properly

  • Safari and Firefox Won't Load Certain Websites

    Starting just today, Safari nor Firefox will go to my university's website. www.weber.edu.  I've tried everything I can think of.  I reset both browers.  Restarted the computer.  I thought maybe it was my router/network, but my windows laptop had no problems loading the website.  I have an '07 iMac with the latest version of snow leopard, Safari, and Firefox.  This just happened out of the blue. It worked just fine yesterday.
    Thanks for any help that can be offered.

  • Safari and firefox won't launch and explorer opens but won't load correctly

    Hi
    Something weird is happening to our emac!
    Got home yesterday after a few days away and all the apple aps have stopped working
    Safari and itunes won't launch at all - they just bounce a couple of times in the dock - then nothing.
    Firefox won't launch either - the only browser I can get to launch is explorer - and that won't load properly.
    I've tried the software update - it says there's now software - but 'unexpectedly' quits if i try to download anything.
    In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better.
    I saw a thread earlier that suggested that rogue fonts might be to blame - which could be something because the only page that loads in explorer displays strangely with the fonts all over the place.
    Any advice that someone could give would be much appreciated
    thanks x

    HI,
    *"In desperation overnight I re-installed the software from the software restore discs - but this morning it's no better."*
    Better check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode

  • Both Safari and Firefox will not load webpage

    This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox (I use Firefox as my default, but since it's happening in Safari too, I figured I could post the problem here). I frequently visit Crate & Barrel's website and cb2.com, and as of recent I have not been able to load the site. I've tried on both my eMac (Safari and Firefox) and on my new iMac. I was able to load the page on a windows computer in my house. I'm not sure if I ever viewed their website on my iMac since it's new as of last month. On the eMac I visited the site often. Why all of the sudden would I not be able to load the website? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You have to love when Customer Service reps don't actually read your message:
    To Crate & Barrel:
    "I recently have not been able to access the Crate&Barrel
    website on either my Apple eMac or my new iMac. However, I can access
    the site on a Windows computer. I am using Firefox, so it can't be an
    issue with the browser. I try to access the site using Safari and that
    does not work either. I used to visit the site often on my eMac and
    never had any issues loading the page. Any ideas as to what the problem
    may be? And why all of the sudden? Any help is appreciated."

  • Safari and Firefox won't open served ASP pages - HELP!

    Both Safari and Firefox will not open *.asp web pages automatically. I mean, I know ASP is a Microsoft product, but REALLY. This is ridiculous! ASP is very common on the web. Mac should automatically handle these pages just like any other HTML type of page. But until Apple comes to its senses to make life a little easier for those of us who chose to buy their product and use it in the real world, can somebody please tell me how to configure my Mac to open ASPs automatically? Right now both Safari and Firefox want to download the pages instead of just opening them. And then it asks me what application I want to use to open it. Duh! Obviously I want to open it in Firefox or Safari so I can view the darn thing! Please - I don't need any explanation of what ASP is. I know what it is. Please just tell me how to get my Mac to display the served pages. Thank you!!!!

    This is not a standard problem with Safari/Firefox on the Mac that I can see. For example, when I go to http://www.boursedata.com.au/solutions/default.asp it loads the page normally (note: I have a historical association to that company... I have used it because I know it uses asp!).
    What does it do for you?

  • Safari or Firefox won't load on home network

    Hello,
    My Macbook has been a good computer for a while but 2 days ago the Safari won't open at all. I go to open it and the Safari gives me the spinning ball thing and won't respond. Tried downloading Firefox and still wont work. the thing is though firefox will work on my school's network but safari still won't work there. the network connection is fine and it works for our old windows computer and iMac but not my laptop. my school has a Proxy server but if i remove the address (which i have) the browser normally works fine. im sure its the browser and not the computer itself because i can still connect and use the iTunes store fine.
    PLEASE HELP ME AND SOON!!!!!

    works now and dont know why

  • Safari and Firefox won't open

    I use Windows XP via Bootcamp on my iMac. I decided to do a disc defragment on the Windows hard drive because I thought it might boost the speed/efficiency. Since doing that, neither of my browsers (Safari & Firefox) will work in the Mac OS (Tiger). However, Explorer still works in Windows XP. The browsers in Tiger seem like they're opening, I get an icon in the dock with a triangle below, but the browser window will not load. I've tried repairing disc permissions. That didn't solve the problem. I think I may have to reinstall the OS, but that means having to purchase either Tiger or Leopard since the new iMacs don't come with the OS disc.
    Advice would be appreciated.

    When you create a NEW admin user account, you are not changing anything about your current user account. Mac OS X is Unix-based, so it is a multi-user system. You can create as many user accounts as you want (within reason). This is useful if more than one person uses the same Mac; each user can have his or her own settings and a private user folder to store personal files. They just log into their account when they are using the Mac.
    Having a "test user" account is also a good way to trouble-shoot because that user will have fresh set of preference setting files. If the problem is in the normally used account, the overall system is probably OK.
    To create a new account, in System Preferences Accounts pane, click on the lock icon (if it is locked ) and authenticate. Then click on the plus sign below the sidebar.
    My computer is an Intel G5 iMac, not a Power PC.
    FYI - A G5 is PowerPC. I know what you are saying, but an Intel Mac is by definition not a "G5."
    I have purchased 2 G5 iMacs within the last 2 years. Neither has come with an installation disc.
    If it's new or a refurb from the Apple Store, it better have come with a Mac OS X installation disc inside the box. If it's used, then it's up to the previous owner to include the disc.

  • Network running, Safari and Firefox not...

    Hello.
    I have a Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 3 GB of memory. I'm running OS X 10.6 and have almost 80 Gigs of free space.
    A couple of days ago I started having problems with my internet being extremely slow. That has now transformed to no internet access at all, either with Safari or Firefox. Both apps will start, but neither will get past the initial load screen anymore.
    I am connected to a Netgear wireless router via an ethernet cable. The router registers my computer is there, and is giving no problems to the two wireless laptops, or the other desktop (which is also connected via ethernet cable) in the house. The ethernet cable is connected to my #1 port, and the Ethernet 1 network on my computer says its status is "Connected." When I run diagnostics on that network it says it is connected to the internet is working fine. I have tried switching ports, but when I put the cable in Ethernet 2, the computer recieves no signal whatsoever.
    I have emptied all my cache files, run network diagnostics, have Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions, and have reset Safari a number of times. I have tried creating new networks, and have reset the router itself. I'm afraid I am completely at a loss. The rest of my computer is running fine, but Safari and Firefox will not load, regardless of the network's claim to be connected and running smoothly.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    3GB and 80GB hard drive space: low amount of RAM but should be able to 'run' Mac OS. However 10% free of 640GB hard drive, so you do have what I call over loaded hard drive. Move files off to 2nd drive.
    Make sure your modem is behind a surge protector, and that the ethernet out, also passes through a protector to prevent too much amp going into ethernet port.
    I'd do a quick install of OS X (10.5.8 or 10.6.1) and leave it there with an empty new test user account.

  • Safari and Firefox not loading images

    Recently I worked on somebody's MacBook Pro computer (a few months old but software is kept up to date) but I couldn't figure out why Safari and Firefox often would not show images. This person also has a desktop PC computer with the same problem in Internet Explorer. The mac laptop is connected to the internet via wireless and the desktop is wired to a Netgear router. The router is connected to a Motorolla Surfboard 5100 cable modem. The problem started about on the 16th of March. When I tried to open a page in Safari often half of the pictures did not show. In Firefox when I clicked the broken picture icon and selected 'show picture' then it will load. Also, in both browers, clicking refresh will usually, but not always, reload everything correctly. Clicking refresh does the same on the PC in Internet Explorer.
    Safari showed on the status bar there were errors on the page so I opened the Activity window. It said 'failed to connect' or something like that (I don't have the computer in front of me) for the images that did not load. Oddly, not all the images from the same site fail to load. Some will load but others won't. This happened with most sites and it appears to be random.
    I opened a terminal window and typed netstat. With no browser running there were still several connections. I'm not sure if that matters on a Mac in OS X. On a windows computer if there are several connections and no programs are open then there may be a problem with malware.
    It is possible the problem with images not loading has nothing to do with the Mac or Safari since we are having the same problem with the PC. The view images option in all 3 browsers is checked. I tried taking the router out and connecting only the PC to the cable modem. I tried unplugging and replugging all the ethernet cables. The owner of the computers spent a few hours on the phone with her internet provider. In the end they couldn't find what was causing the problem and tech support told her the internet was slow sometimes. We have the same internet provider and I'm having no problems with images on the same sites I viewed on her computer.
    Any ideas?

    Before somebody asks- yes, I tried clearing the cache

  • Safari & Firefox: Won't load pages with images

    Everything was working fine one night, and then the next, I couldn't load any pages with graphics. The one caveat: Google loads without a problem, even a Google image search. Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs. Thoughts?
    I've seen similar posts, but none of them really apply, and the only one that did, didn't have an answer.

    Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs.
    You're saying that, in addition to images not loading, pages are loading slowly or not at all, as well?
    If this is the case, then the problem isn't isolated to images. It sounds more like a problem accessing web pages altogether.
    As a troubleshooting measure, try setting fixed DNS addresses, either in your router's configuration or in System Preferences -> Network. For the latter, click on the network connection that you use, e.g. "Airport" or "Ethernet," then click on the Configure button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and enter a pair of fixed DNS addresses in the section with that label, as follows:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    You can copy and paste those directly from this forum into that DNS address field.
    (Those are OpenDNS addresses, available for use by anyone. DNS addresses are the addresses of servers that tell your web browser where to look when you type a web page address in your web browser.)
    If that doesn't work, the problem lies somewhere else. But your symptoms (slow or no page loads; and even when pages load, images not loading) sound a lot like the DNS problems I had before I started using alternate DNS addresses.

  • Safari, firefox both stopped loading images suddenly

    Everything was working great, then suddenly both safari and firefox stopped loading all images. Ebay, Amazon, Netflix and so on, even the mac store site will not load the images. I am using Safari 6. I have done all the updates, cleared all the caches, did all the suggested things the forums said. Change DNS and so on, nothing is working. I don't understand how this could happen. Can someone please help!!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Firefox won't load check images from my online bank.

    Firefox won't load check images from my online bank. It had been doing so with no problems, but stopped 2 days ago. I can get into my account and navigate with no problems. But when I click to see the image of a check, I get a blank page.
    I am using Firefox 3.6, but I have the same problem on my laptop with Firefox 4
    It works fine with Safari and Internet Explorer.

    If you can't open them in Firefox anymore (you seem to have a plugin: View PDF documents within your web browser) then download the documents to the desktop and open them with a program that can open PDF files.
    See also to be sure that that plugin is still selected:
