Safari+GoDaddy?

My new MacBook had been working quite well during the three months since I purchased it. Last weekend, however, both Safari and Firefox have gone a bit bonkers. They refuse to load a wide variety of sites, from news.google.com to hotmail to any number of blogs, and instead hang long enough for my sleep mode to start to kick in. Then the screen flips to GoDaddy.com, proudly announcing that the site I was trying to load is now parked there. Somehow I doubt Google is stashing its news site at GoDaddy.
This problem is also occuring on my daughter's 2-year-old MacBook. I have called my ISP and run checks on the cable modem. Its download and upload speeds are normal. I am using a Dlink WBR 1310 router which also appears to be working fine.
I have deleted the plist files and run the repair permissions but Godaddy continues to work its evil magic. My daughter is trying to do some online research and just found out that the Bard College library is now parked at GoDaddy . . . any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks!

I just tried to reply to Mulder's 12:39 pm post but after clicking post message, my screen went immediately to . . . GoDaddy and apparently ate the post in the process. Trying to access discussions.apple.com produced the same result. Trying to access discussions.apple.com in Firefox also sent me to GoDaddy. Only by shutting down the MacBook and restarting was I able to get back into the discussion board.
I'll try adding the two DNS values in the next hour. Thanks!

  • FontExplorer X Pro corrupting system fonts (mainly Helvetica)

    Yosemite, Clean Install
    I recently installed a trial of FontExplorer X Pro because I thought it was about time I moved up to a professional font management tool.  Shortly after installing it, and importing my fonts, things started to go haywire.  As you can see below, Messages.app, websites (GoDaddy.com pictured) and Mail.app display a strange A-in-a-box character in place of what should be actual, legible copy.  I have been trying to work with FontExplorer's tech support but they have been unhelpful so far, not to mention it takes them days to respond.  I believe I've (so far) narrowed this down to HELVETICA and I'm sure it has something to do with Mac OS X now using Helvetica Neue throughout the System in place of what used to be Lucinda I believe
    I'm just at a loss for what to do.  I can't seem to get my system fonts back in order.  I've tried uninstalling the software, and starting over, and nothing has helped.  I can clear the Font Cache, restart, and then everything is fine...but as soon as I open a document with Helvetica Neue in it, everything else goes haywire again.  Deactivating Helvetica Neue is not an option.  I am a graphic designer, I need Helvetica for nearly everything.
    I would appreciate any suggestions at all, thank you.
    Messages.app: The timestamp is replace with these characters.
    Safari/Godaddy.com: All the text in the login area are the same character.
    Again, in Mail.app, this contact's signature is completely unreadable.

    Anyone? No one from Linotype has been able to answer my questions either.
    Like I said, the problem started after I upgraded from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. The same issue occurs on 2 different computers both running 10.6.8, even though one of them is a fresh install.
    I've tried resetting the FontBook by booting into Safe Mode, but even that doesn't fix it. However I'm now able to add metadata and create sets, but only for system fonts (i.e. anything with a lock icon).

  • Using a Mac, Firefox does not allow me to use the vertical scroll bar real-time in Godaddy webmail. It lags and jumps. Godaddy says it is a browser issue. Does not happen in Safari with Mac OS 10.4.11 or on PC w/windows vista.

    The problem is not my server (Comcast) as it does not happen on Safari when trying different websites as well as Godaddy.com or my Godaddy webmail. The problem is only when using my Mac OS X 10.4.11 (not my Windows Vista PC) in Firefox. I only began noticing this recently. Godaddy says this is a browser issue with my Mac as they cannot replicate it.

  • Forwarded to godaddy domain. works on safari but not explorer or firefox

    I finally figured how to use my website so that when you type in the domain it redirects to the mobile me website. However, it is working just great on safari but not on explorer or firefox.

    I have always used GoDaddy's forward and masking utilities and its worked great. When Apple updated iWeb to 08 with the ability to auto forward, I had lots of issues and thus went back to setting up my GoDaddy preferences to auto-forward and mask my site. GoDaddy has the very best phone support on the planet which makes up for one of the worst websites on the internet. Call them up and have them walk you through auto-forwarding and masking. Check out my site at: www dot jennifersheehan dot com. Hope that helps

  • Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

    I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
    I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
    I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
    Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
    I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
    sorry for the post...

  • Trouble with sessions ending using GoDaddy email accounts with Safari

    I use a GoDaddy email account on my iMac with Safari. Lately I have been unable to manage my emails. I log into the account using a secure webmail, emil opens normally, but when I try to read or delete and emil I get this message: Session has ended due to inactivity. Log in to resume.  I have cleared cache, cleared all history shut unit down and start again. Still same message. Any thoughts on this. GoDaddy suggested I download Chrome or Firefox to read my email.

    Since I last wrote, I also tried advice I found in another post (can't mail from godaddy when using safari) to delete ALL website date and delete the cache.db and restart safari.  This did not help. 
    Don't know if it's related, but my macbook pro that is having this issue with GoDaddy webmail is now also asking for an obscure iCloud password every time I start up that is not my usual iCloud password... i can find it in my keychain though.

  • I cannot upload documents w/Firefox on GoDaddy's FTP (no problem 3 wks ago). I can delete/change the name, but when I click the upload icon my cursor displays the universal "no" symbol. I CAN still upload using Safari.

    Using Firefox 7.0.1 on an iMac w/Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Made no upgrades (unless automatic and didn't notice) or Preferences changes in the last couple of weeks - downloaded files with no trouble just before that

    Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
    I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
    Tried to force close the app.
    Turned on/off wiFi
    Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
    Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims!    Cornball I know.
    But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.
    Can the cloud save me if I upload today?

  • Safari will not open page

    i have a page that will not open in safari but does open on another computer with explorer. i created a domain and forwarded it to an existing site. i cannot get the site to open thru the created domain. the site I'm trying to open is www.TexasEnergyPays.com. the site it's forwarded to www.reyr.igniteinc.biz.
    if i type www.TexasEnergyPays.com in the browser, the screen just turns white.
    if I type www.reyr.igniteinc.biz in the browser, it works just fine.
    any idea on what could be the problem. this is really ticking me off.

    thanks for the help. the only problem is i'm a little computer ignorant.
    on the w3c standards, is that for the website itself or the domain i created? I don't have a problem logging in to the website by typing www.reyr.igniteinc.biz in the browser. the problem is with the domain i created and forwarded to that site. i bought the domain from godaddy.com and used their forwarding service provided. i've tried it in both 301 and 302.

  • My brother can't access his company's website with Safari or Firefox

    This is driving me nuts. My two brothers own a home building company and paid me to design and put up a website for them. My brother Scott, who I recently switched to the Mac, can't access the site with either Safari or FireFox. He hasn't had any trouble accessing any other sites on the internet, just his own!
    I can access the site no problem at home with Safari, my other brother can access it from IE 6 on his Windows machine, and Scott can access the site from the Dell sitting right next to his Mac using the same router and satellite modem.
    Heres the error Safari gives: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.handhproperties.com" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
    I looked around in the network prefs, security, etc., but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Now this is just a very basic plain Jane website and I didn't include anything fancy. Mostly because I'm not that smart. What could be causing this?
    I emptied Safari's cache and went in and deleted cookies from the site (GoDaddy must've put them there because I certainly didn't and wouldn't know how). Immediately after I did that, the Home page of the site loaded but with a bunch of errors and no images. If I clicked on any links I got the same error message as before, so I went looking for more cookies to delete but there weren't any.
    He's on WildBlue satellite and my first thought was it had something to do with them because before, when he was on dial up he had no problems accessing the site. He talked to them and they claimed it had to be his Mac. The router is a cheap Lynksys that I don't think has any built in firewall.
    Today I upgraded him to Leopard and hoped that a new version of Safari might clear things up but nope.
    Any ideas? I'm completely baffled (nothing new there).

    Hi,
    Have you tried giving the router a kick? (i.e. turning it off/on )
    Sometimes that can do the trick even when another computer connected to it can access the site fine.

  • Unable to copy & paste text in Godaddy email

    I've don't use Safari, but wasn't able to recreate the issue just now. But in Firefox, my primary browser, this has become a major issue over the last few months with using Godaddy webmail. It wasn't as noticeable an issue at first, but now it's with every email. I've also deleted all cookies and cache files in my history.
    I frequently use templates to compose new emails to clients. If I try to copy text from a template to paste into an email, none or only part of the text will actually paste. If I try to paste the text again, the same thing happens.
    Sometimes, if I try to paste text, a big white space will appear with only part of the text. Other times the text will copy in a completely random spot in the email, such as the very top or bottom.
    I've found that there are sometimes dead zones in the Compose Email window, and if I can space far enough away from that a bad spot, it'll then allow ALL the text I've copied to be pasted correctly. I will then try and delete all the extra space. Sometimes this works, other times it will then also delete the pasted text. This then seems to be some kind of formatting issue, but the Goddady Browser Tool says that there aren't any compatibility issues with the Firefox.
    This process is now doubling and tripling the time it takes to compose emails that I already have templates created for. Please help!!

    I've tried that also (that's mainly how I cut and paste), and it still happens. When I called godaddy and explained that it looked like a formatting issue, the rep said he'd never heard of this being an issue on their end.
    I then read online that others had similar issues using godaddy webmail with firefox.
    I've switched to safari for now, but I'd love to still be able to email from firefox.

  • My site crashes in Safari

    Hi,
    I made the site in iweb, and uploaded it to godaddy. The site crashes in Safari when I click through the pages, making it unusable on any computer for about 5 minutes (but no problems at all using Firefox and IE.)
    The URL is http://sanafit.net/Aron/home.html
    I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.

  • I cant view my site in safari... hmmmmm

    i forwarded my own domain to mask the url for my mac.web.com.yadda yadda yadda.
    i forwarded the frame to web.mac.com/myusername
    it took hours and it is finally working though my domain co said they didnt think it would. anyways.. it loads great on firefox but i cant view it on safari.
    i type in the web address and the screen is blank. if i click on the screen my site appears. and the same for each page.. you click and it goes blank. and then you click on the blank screen and up pops the site.
    and it doesnt work in internet explorer. images have x's and just aren't there.
    i have emptied the cache, quite safari. checked the url forwarding.. it seems odd that it works in firefox but not safari.
    any help?
    anyone?

    jodyfinver.com
    frame redirect from web.mac.com/writecause
    also tried web.mac.com/writecause/iweb
    and web.mac.com/writecause/iweb/jodyfinver
    bought domain with 1and1 and can't transfer to godaddy for a month. 1and1 says they can't frame redidrect with a backslash. it's odd it works on firefox. you need to click a blank page in safari and in ie for mac the words at the bottom om the home page come in broken, as do images throughout.
    i am on phone with apple and the guy saw the page then it disappeared. he had me reset my safari which made me lose my igoogle home page preferences and didn't resolve the problem.
    then he said it looks like you can't do what you are looking to do. I said yes you can. In fact Apple tells people they can do this when they are selling the software. He is researching it.

  • My iWeb site loads in Safari, but not in Firefox, Opera, Chrome. Why?

    I built my homepage with iWeb.
    I am hosting over Mobile Me.
    My Domain name is registered at Godaddy.
    My site was online for the longest time. Now I did some changes and uploaded the site again.
    With Safari, I can access my homepage.
    Not so with Firefox, Opera, Chrome...
    What could be the reason for this?
    Thanks in advance!

    I am a little bit smarter now:

  • My GoDaddy hosted, iweb created web site will not open flash

    Hello,
    I'll try to be thorough:
    I created a site with iWeb - It is band site.
    I uploaded/published the site to godaddy.com, along with my URL www.momsgreatweed.com
    If I access the URL from the Mac on which I created the site, it works fine, in SAFARI only (not firefox) even after having emptied the cache.
    On all other computers (Mac and PC) I cannot open the "Tunes" page, which has a flash player and 10 mp3 files.
    I receive the following error:
    To view this page, you must log into area "me.com" on idisk.mac.com:80
    Needless to say, this is making me slightly insane. I can't possibly be the only person to ever experience this issue. I did call GoDaddy "tech support"; but a 30 minute call turned out to be useless.
    Please, before I pull my hair out...any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Be well,

    You pasted the code in the HTML Snippet.
    Upon further inspection I noticed the links to the tunes are wrong too :
