Safari cannot open facebook, cannot find server.. why ?

When I try to go to the facebook page, Safari cannot open it, says "Safari cannot find server"..."Safari cannot conect to server".. etc etc

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
www.facebook.com
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

    Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

  • Safari Cannot find Server

    hi all,
    just purchased a new macbook a few days ago and i have found that when i am trying to access certain websites i get a message up saying "safari cannot open the followig page as Safari cannot find the server". i have tried emptying cache and reseting safari but it is still happening on a regular basis with different sites. could it be a problem with my internet settings?? i connect via airport to a wireless modem.

    Hello z:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    First, check with your ISP to be sure your settings are correct.
    To correct a different problem, I use OpenDNS (free version). That may not address your issue, but it cannot hurt.

  • Safari cannot find server-any other browser can

    Recently Safari started telling me that it cannot load webpages because the server cannot be found. Any other browser can load these pages correctly.
    The webpages that Safari picks out are completely random and change from day to day.

    I had the same problem, made a little search and found that there are some problems with DNS on leopard if you´re interested to know a little try this page:
    http://blog.jungledisk.com/2007/10/31/leopard-dns-issues-and-work-around/
    changing the DNS helped me a lot so try this to have a better way to improve your safari experience:

  • IPhone wi-fi signal yet Safari cannot find server

    My iPhone was activated and I am presently in an area without ATT coverage.
    So, I decided to us my own DSL wi-fi.
    The iPhone connects and accepts the password.
    I can see the connection on the routers table of devices.
    Yet, the iPhone does not connect with Safari or Email or any other service.
    Safari on the iPhone may be configured incorrectly but I can not find access to Preferences.
    Any suggestions ? Except for iPod capabilities, I can not use any other features of my phone.

    Elsewhere on the forum my question was answered.
    On the network for my wi-fi, I went to the STATIC set up and put it the DNS servers for my local ISP.
    After those numbers were entered, Safari and email worked well.
    I was lucky to GOOGLE the FRONTIER DNS server numbers.
    Since I also use TIME WARNER CABLE, I tried to find their numbers but have not had luck yet.
    In any case, my iPhone is now working with Wi-Fi

  • Why will my Macbook OSX.10.8.3 not load Facebook?, says Safari cannot access server.

    I have a Macbook OSX.10.8.3 It will not load Facebook, says Safari cannot access server; and second, suddenly 2 days ago I cannot use the internet without being attacked by random sites. Each time I click on a site, or choose an option, I want another site opens up. e.g. just now doing this Shards of War  and Adcash just opened when I went between two pages here.

    It sounds like you may have run out of free disk space & OSX corrupted something.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • Safari being REALLY slow or sometimes "Cannot find server"! HELP!

    Right, i have the new 'Safari 4' but its being really slow.
    When trying to load up webpages, it sometimes takes AGES to load a page, or sometimes it even comes up with the message 'Safari cannot find the server'.
    I have 'LittleSnitch' installed so I can see when Safari is using the internet to either upload or download information and most of the time, Safari is sat there doing nothing and not downloading any information...
    I have reset Safari to no avail!
    Why might this be happening?
    Message was edited by: Ozzmystro

    'Safari cannot find the server'
    Generally refers to a DNS problem.
    (First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

  • Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

    Hi
    I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    HI aad1612,
    Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
    Close Safari
    Open a Finder window
    Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
    Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
    Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
    Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
    Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
    Right mouse client to move this file to trash
    Empty the trash
    Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
    Good Luck

  • "Cannot Find Server" Constant Error Message

    I've been having this problem for quite some time. I will attempt to connect to a website only to wait forever and then get a "Cannot find server" error message. It's not just with one site, it happens with many.
    It's also random. Sometimes everything connects fine and fast, and then inexplicably I get "Cant' find server" for sites like Facebook, Amazon, even Apple. It can start working again for a few minutes and then in an instant I'm getting error messages again.
    However, my email always works fine.
    And this is NOT a Safari problem. I also get the same trouble when I switch to Firefox or Explorer. My ISP says it's an Airport / Mac issue since it all works fine if I direct connect to the laptop and because my email is also working.
    In addition, when I'm having this problem, my iPhone also cannot connect to the WWW but can get email.
    I've tried powercycling the modem and the airport numerous times. It's really becoming a pain.
    Any thoughts?

    Me too I tried everything. I am an Apple fan with 2 computers,3 iPods. I have no idea what the problem is. I had to re-run the disk each time to find the internet. Finally tried a Linksys Grouter worked first time-laptop anywhere in the house strong signal. I have had similar problems with an Airport Express-never got it to work-so tried the Extreme. I returned it-I didn't want to but I just could not get it to work.

  • Safari cannot find the internet plug in

    I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
    ++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
    ++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
    ++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
    ++Do you want to open the page?++
    I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
    I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
    How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
    HELP!!!

    Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)
    Posted: Aug 24, 2007 4:44 AM in response to: threejay10
    threejay10,
    thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
    http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
    i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
    So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
    http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
    installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
    It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
    Cheers, TM

  • Error while synchronizing: Cannot find server

    I have synchornization enabled both on my laptop and PC.
    On laptop everything is fine, but any changes done on PC are not synchronizing with the "Cannot find server \ Wrong server" error.

    Hi Selik,
    Thank you for your question. Apologies for the late reply. I understand that you are receiving a synchronization error. May I confirm with you what service this is associated with?
    If it is Firefox Sync please check the following:
    # Do you have a firewall or antivirus that may be blocking https://accounts.firefox.com or specifically a name like * .services.mozilla.com
    # Please enable logging and post any errors to share [http://pastebin.mozilla.org/]
    How to turn on logging:
    # Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
    # Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
    # Logs and error messages will be located here
    Thank you, we look forward to your reply!

  • Intermittent "Cannot find server or dns error"

    We are getting "Cannot find server or dns error" intermittently. It happens most frequently using internet explorer on https. Anyone else getting this or have any suggestions?
    (I have logged as TAR 1525537.999)
    null

    After many, many hours or research and corresponding with other
    Oracle resources, we resolved the issue. We still receive the
    "Cannot find server or DNS error" but with much, much less
    frequency.
    Here are the complete details:
    Environment:
    Windows NT 4.0 SP 6
    Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2
    Oracle 9iAS Portal 3.0.9.8.0
    Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
    Apache HTTP Server: 1.3.19 (win32)
    mod_ssl: 2.8.1
    OpenSSL: 0.9.5a
    SSL port: 443
    Problem:
    We were running into the following error intermittently (but very
    frequently) when accessing pages in the Oracle Portal application
    with SSL enabled:
    "Cannot find server or DNS error" at the bottom of a "Page cannot
    be displayed" error page.
    Resolution:
    7 Applied patchset for Oracle8i 8.1.7.1.1 (to database client and
    server)
    7 Applied patchset for Oracle8i 8.1.7.1.5 (to database client and
    server)
    7 Applied patchset for Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8.1
    7 Implemented solution for Oracle Bug No. 1822053 (HTTP 404 Doing
    Portal Development) by changing (and un-commenting) the following
    line in our Apache http.conf file:
    From: #SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive
    ssl-unclean-shutdown
    To: SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" ssl-unclean-shutdown
    7 Implemented solution for Oracle Bug No. 1821195 (When uploading
    large file using modplsql & SSL error reading data from client)
    by replacing the existing ApacheModuleSSL.dll file with the
    patched file referenced in the bug details.
    Note: Bug No. 1821195 is for Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2. It references
    Bug No. 1773627 for Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.1.
    I feel the biggest help was finding out about Bug No.
    1821195/1773627. We were provided the bug details by a local
    Oracle technical consultant, Dave McMarlin, referred to us by the
    Oracle Joint Staff Account Manager. That solved our problem with
    receiving the noted error message when we tried to add items to
    the content area. Applying the change to the http.conf file
    identified by Bug No. 1822053 (removing the nokeepalive entry) in
    combination with the Oracle8i and Oracle Portal upgrade seems to
    have solved our problems with the other intermittent occurrences
    of the noted error message.
    According to the details for the ApacheModuleSSL.dll patch, there
    was mention of a bug in the "select" function in Windows NT 4.0:
    "When checking a socket, if data can be read without blocking,
    select () returns yes, but when actually reading from the socket
    with recv(), that function returns WSAEWOULDBLOCK, which says
    that reading would block. It seems that this problem does not
    occur in usual operation, but only in an SSL enabled Apache
    (modssl or apache-ssl) with https. The code for WIN32, which
    handles writing to a socket, already contains a workaround for
    this. The code for reading from a socket did not have a
    workaround."
