Some URLs refuse to load

Certain URLs are refusing to load. These are URLs that I formerly accessed without difficulty, but starting around 8/24/06, they stopped loading. (I access hundreds of URLs every day and these are the only ones I can't get to.):
http://www.valvoline.com/
http://www.eagleone.com/
http://www.giantmag.com/
http://www.countryhitmakers.com/
http://www.timeout.com/newyork/
The address bar shows only the http:// part highlighted -- that's where everything hangs. (I have no DNS server entered since that's optional, but I did try entering 4.2.2.2 and that made no difference.)
I've tossed my Safari cache, reset Safari, run Onyx maintenance routines several times, tried other browsers (IE, for example -- they can't load the pages either). Yet other people are having no trouble accessing the same pages under Windows. (I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.8 but the same pages wouldn't load under earlier Tiger versions back to .4 either. I'm also running NetBarrier 10.4.1.)
Any ideas?

This topic may pertain Earthlink/People PC steal Safari & Firefox urls or did I goof somehow? if Earthkink is your ISP,
"As Dave mentioned last week, we've been working to tune the configuration of dead domain handling to address the issues some EarthLink customers have been experiencing during the rollout. We've been able to mitigate a number of issues, but we've also recognized that some of them such as certain problems with VPN access are not easily addressed through configuration changes in our dead domain system. For customers who are still experiencing issues, we've set aside a pair of servers that will remain outside of our standard DNS system. If you have a need to stay clear of our dead domain handling, just point your DNS servers to:
207.69.188.171 (west coast)
207.69.188.172 (east coast)
If you're west of the Mississippi, use the west coast DNS server as your primary and the east coast as secondary. And vice-versa for those of you in the eastern U.S."

EXS24 puts .exs after some instruments, refusing to load the samples?

With Logic 7.2.1, I'm using some SampleCell instruments that were originally imported into Logic 4.8 EXS24. Then, I moved that fully working EXS24 folder over to my new Mac.
Many of them play perfectly, and I can watch as the samples quickly load into the EXS24.
However, when I access some instruments from the menu, I get no error msg, but no samples are loaded - and ".exs" is appended after the instrument's name in the menu.
I'd think if it couldn't find the samples, it would ask me where to find them?
How can I resolve this?

ESX has Factory samples on your hard drive
and then the new instruments you create yourself.
If you truly have a User Instrument in ESX it should be under Edit(just to the right of the Instrument pane on ESX)/Instrument/Open.
If it is not there you might be screwed.
The only sure fix is create a new instrument (same Edit window) New/ Zone/ Import Multiple Samples/(Browse for the files) Add All/ Add/ will import the Samples into a new instrument then Instrument/ Save As...
Have Fun,

Some websites say that the connection reset, but after following the instructions to fix it, it still doesn't work, and recently they simply refuse to load.

Recently, Mozilla has refused to load certain webpages for me, saying that 'the connection was reset' or sometimes not loading at all. I don't know what's wrong and if it's just me. So far, I've had problems getting onto Random.org, Serenes Forest.net (which actually didn't load a few times), and Dictionary.com. Is there something wrong with my internet, and if there is, what? And why does this happen? (I don't have wireless internet, if that helps deduce the problem.)
I know that maybe this sounds like something that doesn't have to do with Firefox, but Firefox never did this before, and my computer has always worked fine before, so I think maybe something happened to my Firefox that's corrupted it in some way. Has a problem like this come up before, and if so, was it already solved?

If you are using wi-fi:
1- Are you connected?
2- Check if you have full access or only limited access, limited means no internet connection provided. (if so, proceed step 3)
3- Ping your wi-fi modem IP address:
ping 192.168.2.1 (my modem local IP Address)
If you get high number in round trip time (in miliseconds), turn off your modem for about 1 minute.
3- ping any site that did not load
Wish it may help

Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?

I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?

Have you tried a full reset when this happens? This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

Imovie 08 refuses to load after upgrading to Leopard

I got Leopard for christmas and after upgrading imovie worked fine until I upgraded to imovie 08 with ilife. Now it refuses to load after it bounces it just stops and acts like as if I didn't even do anything. I've tried disk utility, and a bunch of other stuggestions but it dfidn't work.

Yes I did all of them. All of them appear to load except for imovie. and I did the installment of ilife 08. For some reason a folder appeared for the older version of imovie and that works fine even though i installed iLife 08, it suddenly made a folder today saying imovie (old version).
I don't get why it is doing that when the others work just fine.
Yes the display options are correct
The only one I know of is the divx codec I believe that is it.

PhotoShop 2.0 refuses to load properly

Why does my Adobe Photoshop program 2.0 refuse to load up and gives an error message personalization information incomplete . I've reloaded it filled out everything . It's older than E mail registration requires either Fax Phone or mail . How can I circumvent that portion of Reg. ?.

Noel,
There was a time, long ago, when Adobe had at least two "starter level" programs, PhotoDeluxe and also a Photoshop LE. The latter was more often seen bundled with a camera, a scanner, or similar. Think that my copy (never installed) came with an old Nikon scanner, but that WAS a long time ago. I believe that PhotoDeluxe was sold separately, but it might also have been included with some bundle. Though I never used it, I thought of it as more of an Image cataloging program, with limited Image-editing capabilities - not too far from the early versions of PSElements w/ its Organizer, but with a reduced set of editing capabilities, however, I might be wrong.
For less than professional needs, I agree that PSElements would be something that I would think about. It is bound to be much more full-featured, than PhotoDeluxe was, and PSE 11 will run with contemporary OS's. It is really not THAT far behind Photoshop, and the price is very good.

Safari refuses to load phpMyAdmin icons

Safari refuses to load image file from our web server phpMyAdmin because of content-security-Policy, yet all other browsers such as Chrome load the images (icons). Attached is a screen shot. This is version 4.01 of phyMyAdmin and the same problem occurs all the way back to phpMyAdmin version 3.5.7 which loads the images (icons). I can find no content-security problem. Hopefully, I have posted to the correct community since only Safari is creating the problem. Running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
All feedback is appreciated.

I had the same problem. I'm also running Safari 5.1.9 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I just installed phyMyAdmin 4.0.5 and got the same results as on your screenshots.
The problem is the CSP header that blocks the load of external images.
If you comment out some lines in phpMyAdmin-4.0.5/libraries/Header.class.php, you can deactivate the image blocking of the CSP header.

Help! Clip and project files refuses to load into imovie

I did some reorganizing of my movie material placed on an external hdd (I am using a macbookpro 13).
Now imovie refuses to load any of the files again. The project files are greyed out an impossible to import. All the source files are also still there on my external hdd but imovie refuses to load them. What shall I do? Anybody that can help me? Extremely frustrating. Must I move the material or have it in a certain order in the folder system?

I have the same problem as the user who started this thread - moved my imovie projects to an external hard drive using the finder window, did not move them in imovie. Is there any way will be able to view them again in imovie??? I thought maybe they needed to be in the internal hard drive for some reason, so I tried to move them back to "Movies" in my internal HD, but it didn't work either. Please tell me there's a way to recover my projects!

FF goes through periods of refusing to load web pages

Since updating to 7.0.1 yesterday, Firefox has repeatedly gone through periods of obstinancy. It started with brief delays but now is quite persistent.
What happens is that web pages just refuse to load. Any page. FF sits there like it's trying to connect but it never does. Restarting FF can sometimes coax brief connectivity for the saved tabs, but the refusal to load the pages returns nearly immediately.
Eventually, FF gets out of its snit and I can browse normally for a few hours -- but then, apropos of nothing, it goes back to being obstinant.
I'm running Windows XP and CA Security Center firewall. FF was fine until it updated to 7.0.1. Internet Explorer and other Internet programs work fine.

LtPowers - Let's try some standardization. You have ver 7.0.1 so you can go to the App Button, [menu button], Help-> Troubleshoot Information -> Copy all to clipboard, and then open a notepad window - or your favorite text editor - and paste the log there. Look at it and see if it suggests ay answer to you. If not, repost the problem - with the log appended. That way you give notice of hardware and OS, so that users with similar configs, or knowledge, can help. It might be you have too much other stuff loaded for your system's chip memory. If you get to disk caching and swapping, things get really slow. It might be that addons are in conflict with the new version or with each other. That is why the addon listing might help an experienced user to give help. I use XP SP3, and am familiar with the Task Manager window there. It tells me total memory and memory commitment. For instance, now, FF 7.0.1, taking up 805 +/- meg due to the config and large number of windows and tabs open. It says I am using 1.6 Gigabytes of 3.2 [only 2 gig installed memory, the remainder is disk caching, where I can slow way way down if I get there]. I have Chrome open too, several addons, taking memory. I closed Chrome, and it drops to 1.3 gig committed. From experience 400 - 500 meg are take up in system resources, after a bootup with no applications running. So my slowness now is from overstuffing the browser - a problem I had with 3.6 too when I went hog wild on open stuff and addons. If you can check such things on your hardware/software it might help. The big thing, posting a troubleshooting log with the problem is my first helpful idea. Others besides me may read that and have helpful suggestions. Posting the log will also show whether you are disabling addon compatability checking. If you do that - as I do - you are at risk of weird things showing up on upgrading.

What do you mean you're in the process of "downloading the installer for 10.7.3"? If you mean the software update combo, you won't be able to use that to go from 10.7.4 to 10.7.3. The only way you could do that is to reinstall the whole OS from the App Store IF that version is 10.7.3. I don't know if the App store Lion installer includes 10.7.4 already, but if it does, you can't get to 10.7.3 at all.
As for what you do about your slow machine, there are tips all over the internet. I wrote up some of the basic one's to try here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/12/05/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow/
Other possibilities not mentioned there are either a corrupt install of Lion (solution; re-install from the Recovery disk) or hardware failure (old hard disks and other hardware components can sometimes give out there last after the strain of a new install).

Upgraded to the EA3500 from the E2000, but some webpage don't load

I recently upgraded from the E2000 to the EA3500 to get simultaneous 5Ghz for my computers and 2.4 for my mobile devices that don't support 5Ghz. My only problem now is that for some reason, I'm getting alot of webpages that refuse to load, or that a very long time, while others are fine or even faster then they used to be. for example, facebook is fine, can't connect to Vimeo at all, even this cisco forum, in order to come and post I had to switch back to my E2000. There has to be something I'm doing wrong somewhere... I compared my setting from both devices and they all seem to match... I've tried to troubleshoot a bit to pin point where the problem might be, but no success. I tried for instance to disable the 5Ghz network, (the primary diference between the two devices) and even when I connect to the 3500 only on the 2.4Ghz network the problem persists!
any help solving this issue would be great, for now I'll just have to stay on my E2000...

so this issue is experienced only on the wireless devices? how many wireless devices are experiencing the same issue? have you checked whether a wired connection also has restricted access? please do and post the results.
also, disable any firewall running on your system. look out for AVG, norton, mcafee and the like. it might be preventing you from accessing those websites!

Is it possible to force some urls through the vpn using split tunneling?

Hi all,
just that. We have some urls accessible only from our office lan, and will be nice to allow the clients to split tunnel all but this specific urls.
Possible? Thanks in advance!

Simon,
I was thinking that you were trying to reach a web server hosted on the LAN. I see now that you are trying to reach external sites that are only accessible from the LAN. I am not aware of any way to allow a partially split tunnel, if I find anything I will update.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.
