Safari and Other Browsers Not Working in one account

The account that I use mostly, a standard account, has suddenly lost all web browser function, and I'm not aware of having changed anything recently.
When I try using Safari in the Admin Account it works fine (except for some reason I can't login to my .mac account either, I'm posting this from yet another standard account, which works fine as well). I've tried switching the standard account with the issue to an admin, but get the same results.
The results are that Safari (and any other browser) says it cannot find the server of the website I'm looking for.
I've also tried unplugging our router and plugging it back in to restart it without success.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Ok, I have not tried that yet, but before I do, I have a newly discovered wrinkle for you-
I have found that I can browse in the bad account with Safari and Camino (and I suppose anything else), but only if I am going to "secure" pages, that is pages that begin with "https" rather than "http".
Incidentally, thanks for the help on the previous post. That may be what I eventually try.
Does this new detail shed any light on the problem?

Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Appearance of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers

I guess this question has been posted several times before because I can't find the relevant search terms to limit the number of answers to a reasonable count. Thus, sorry for the repetition (if so).
Is there a way to amend the appearance problems of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers?
Problems are:
Safari: color management (?) - take a look at this site: http://shivaduo.jan-groh.de - Text and frame were created with exactly the same web safe color (990033), but they differ a lot.
Firefox 2..., IE 6, Camino 1.5, Shiira: no shadows, (some) no reflections, (all) horizontally broken lines in reflections of frames, (Windows) fonts (Trebuchet MS) get changed (worked perfectly before with iWeb 1... on exactly the same computer).
Is there any remedy to this aestheical disaster (which was the main reason for me to switch to iLife '08)?
Thanks in advance,
Rosember

Since a recent trip to Mexico, Safari and other browsers are now being taken over or manipulated by other web sites. I installed adblock and the situation is getting worse. What to do?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Safari and mail does not work

Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

So I have updated my iphone4 GSM to ios 6.01, however after updating, my safari and mail could not work anymore, when i open these 2 apps, it just opens and hangs then it crashes.

For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail and Safari apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Safari ( and other browsers) are slowww!

I am running Safari (2.01) along with system 10.4.2 on my G5 Imac. This computer is networked with 3 others, all are running various browsers (ie,firefox).
Safari web pages on the Imac take forever to load. I thought it might be just Safari, so I used the other browsers loaded on this machine, Firefox and IE. They are slowwww too. The weird thing is that the other 3 machines do not have any slow downs with opening pages! Does anyone have any ideas as to what this problem could be and waht I can do to fix this? Thanks!!

Try removing the router from the system and connect directly from the computer to the modem via ethernet. I had the same problem (all browsers slow on only one of my computers - download speed okay, but loading sites very slow), and doing that showed me the issue was with the router. I reset the router to default settings and it is now working normally.

Safari and other browsers won't load?

Heads up: I'm not very computer savvy but, I have a 15" MacBook Pro. Late 2011/Early 2012 I think. Version 10.7.5.
So over the past few weeks ( through Google Chrome), videos online. They load fast, I can click play on a 40 minute video and I don't need to pause for buffereing and loading.
In the middle of one of the videos though, it stops loading and I thought it was just a blip in the internet connection. So I reloaded the page, this time it tages about twice as long to load the video and then stops again. Each time I re-loaded the page the amount that it would download became shorter until it wouldn't play anything at all. I tried in Safari as well, with no luck. I thought it might have been the website, but then I tried youtube, network websites, videos on tumblr, anything I could think of and nothing would load.
The internet connection is fine, because another MacBook pro can connect wirelessly without problems. I've just updated my software, cleared a lot of my memory space on the hardrive, updated flash-player and nothing seems to be working. I follwed a few other answered questions on here such as turning off IPv6 or something along those lines and turning off various things and reconfiguring. It was all confusing to me and they didn't work either...
Now it's gotten to the stage where Safari (as I uninstalled Gogle Chrome to reinstall it) will not let me load random pages, such as the download pages for Google Chrome and Firefox. 4/5 times images won't show on pages that do seem to be working.
When I'm tryign to load a page in Safari, the little blue bar travels across it ust fine and then all of a sudden disappears, but there is stil an x in the navigation bar (as if it's loading) rather then a refresh button.
I'm hoping someone out there could help! If you need any more info on my computer I will dish it up as long as you let me know where to find it.

What you're describing sounds like it could be one of a few things:
1) It's possible that the wireless card in your computer has something wrong with it.
2) You've may have some sort of obscure problem with your computer's firmware, and you should resinstall the operating system.
3) There actually is something wrong with your internet connection.
I know that the 3rd one sounds unlikely, given that your other computer works fine on your internet connection. However, for whatever reason, your internet modem could just be spitting out bandwidth in unequal quantities to each computer. This could also be caused by an inconsistency in your router's QoS settings.
Either way, I would advise that you make an appointment at the Apple store, or some reputable computer repair shop. I think that the most likely of these three problems would be that something is wrong with your wireless card.
I hope this helps!

Drops of network specific to Safari and other browsers

I am experiencing intermittent loss of connection to the Internet that only affects certain applications. For example, while I am using Safari and also listening to a stream of a radio station via iTunes, I may click a link or refresh a page and get the message that Safari cannot display the page because the computer is not connected to the Internet. Meanwhile, the radio stream continues to play; I can even stop and restart it. In addition, if I go to Terminal, I can successfully issue commands that operate on external resources (e.g., ping, ssh).
After a variable number of minutes, the connection will work again.
I connect through a wireless network with the signal coming from a DSL modem routed through an Airport Extreme. I have used Network Diagnostics, restarted the modem and wiped then rebuilt the Airport. These steps have not corrected the problem. In fact, I can connect to the modem and monitor its function; it shows no loss of signal.
I have also rebooted the entire machine (while making wisecracks about treating a Mac like a PC). I reset PRAM. I unplugged the machine to reset the PMU (or whatever it's called these days).
The problem also occurs in other accounts on the same machine (iMac Intel Core 2; 10.6.2).
When the problem occurs on the iMac, I can turn immediately to a MacBook Pro that is using the same wireless network and have no problems with the connection.
When the problem occurs with Safari, it also is present with Firefox and Twitterrific.
I'm stymied.

Aloha, Hawaiian.
Thanks for the reminder about updating my settings.
I have installed the update. The problem was present before and after updating.
I have not talked to my ISP, as it the problem is clearly not with the ISP (unless one might hypothesize that the ISP is specifically affecting one of my computers and not another and only some services on that one computer).
I'm now testing the possibility that I can control the problem by stopping and restarting the Airport client on the affected machine.... If that's so, I'll be digging into the client logs for hints about settings.

Safari (and other browsers) very slow loading "content rich" web pages

Hi,
I'm a very "light" user of my mac, using it basically for surfing the web, uploading pictures and music, etc... and recently any web page that has a lot of content (examples are nfl.com, nba.com, nhl.com, mlb.com, united.com, continental.com) takes a very long time to load (most other web pages load normally). Safari (and Firefox as well) gets to the web page in an instant, but then sits there trying to load content (mostly high res pictures and ads I suppose), which sometimes takes minutes or just never fully downloads the content. I'm connected to the internet via ethernet (high speed cable modem from Time Warner), and they've already come out and verified that everything on their end is fine. I've followed the instructions posted on some of the other similar posts (emptying cache, deleting cookies, disenabling add on's, reseting safari, logging in as another user, etc..), and this has not helped. Since this problem is persistent with both browsers, I'm wondering if this may be an OS issue as opposed to a browser issue. If someone can walk me through a solution (keep in mind that I'm a novice), that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

HI and welcome....

Could be.
Since the problems exist with multiple browsers, login to another user account on your Mac. Try Safari there. If you see the same behavior with Safari there, then follow the instructions here. You will need your install disc. The startup disk may need repairing. Even if Safari is ok in another account, it's still a good idea to check the startup disk. That way you can rule that out.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
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 startup 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 15% free space.

Safari and Stickies did not work accurately after upgrade Lion 10.7.3

1. Safari: version 5.1.5 and other before cannot show charts and other buttons in the homepage of www.comdirect.de. (Firefox does it) Asking technical staff of comdirect, they told me: "it is a known problem of safari. Safari does not meet the standards". Up today there is no improvement in the divers updates of Safari.
2. Stickies: Working some weeks with Lion, two icons of the stickie-programm suddenly apeared in the Dock. Version 7.0, 874KB and Version 8.0 5,2 MB. Results:
Moving a stickie, caused its duplication, other were lost.
Putting the Version 7.0 into the trash, it install themselves again but more and more stickies disappeared.
I want my stickies back, at what location are they stored? What can I do to solve the problems 1) und 2)?
Thanks for a praktikable proposal.

So the result form Apple authorized servis was that both motherboard and graphic card need to be replaced (cost aproximatelly 1100$) and in addition they said there will still remain some problem with display which would cost additional 500$ to fix. Taken in account that there would be only 90 days warranty on new parts I decided to give up with the iMac. Very disappointing after only 1,5 year on machine that costed more than 2000$.
Recommendation from me after this experience - buy 3 years warranty if possible. I am personally very much looking forward for Mac Pro refresh. I don't want to be again in situation that if something breaks in my working machine I have no chance to replace it myself and can only expect very high repair costs. Untill new Mac Pros are out I'll suffer working on Mac Book Pro.

Live Paint and other tools not working?

Hello,
Most of the time while using Illustrator almost all my tools except for the pen tool do not work, as in the mouse icon turns into this circle with a line through it, and doesn't allow me to do anything on my layer, and it's just one layer nothing else. Why does this happen? I have a drawing that I image traced on illustrator, and would like to paint it now, but I can't use the live paint option. Sometimes the select tool doesn't select anything and it just disappears!
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm a complete beginner to illustrator and I thought it was just another small thing that beginners are not familiar with and that other people can relate? Anyway, I use Illustrator CC on a Mac. Here is a capture I made trying to use the brush tool:
The cursor of the mouse doesn't show, but it is like I said, a circle with a line across. This is where the live paint doesn't work as well:
Maybe you can spot something on my screen that I'm doing wrong?

ITunes and iPod not working with one account

Hi
I have iTunes 9.0.1 running on 10.6.1 on a MBP and I have just bought a new 5th generation iPod Nano.
I have been trying to set up the iPod on my partner's account on my MBP. iTunes just freezes every time I plug in the iPod and needs a force quit. When I try to set it up on my account it is recognised straight away. I have also been able to set it up on a new account but I cannot find any way to stop iTunes freezing on my partner's account. Her account works perfectly otherwise.
Strangely the iPod is seen by the Mac OS on my partner's account in that I can browse it in finder and the icon appears on the desktop. It is just iTunes on this one account that does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Any thoughts?
