Suddenly can't access my favourite sites ... others are fine ...

Five times in the last 2 weeks, I have been unable to access favourite sites .... Flickr, Blogger, and four or five others, for 24 hours / 36 hours at a time ..
5 computers on our home network .... none can access these sites .. no problem with other regular sites ... such as Google, Yahoo, but strangely, with Apple and Cahoot Bank (UK) , I can get the home page, but then progress no further ..
ALL errors are 'server stopped responding' ... all the sites are 'up' as my next door neighbour can access them all, every time ...
Is there a plist file to trash .. or two? Or is it a cache problem somewhere along the line .. ?
VirginMedia (ISP, UK) deny it is them .. it affects all computers on our network ...
I'm not on an ISP blacklist .. AND everything works fine with Ethernet into the back of the iMac .....
I then plug the Airport Extreme back in and rebooted and re-set everything and the same sites (which were fine 5 mins before) Flickr, Blogger, ..... nothing .. but Google / Yahoo are fine ...
Is this a DNS thing ... Airport ... DHCP ..... plists ?
Why intermitent ... and why particular favourite sites??
Any insights would be gratefully received as it's driving me nuts - and the kids want to use their computers too ..!

OK .. hate replying to my own posts .. but, all day today I have been running my main machine straight with ethernet connection .. can access all the sites that are problematic when wireless ....
Had to re-use Airport Extreme so that the kids could access their favourite sites on computers around the house .....
I was already on two Apple discussion pages.. and after the new wireless connection started working, I could still surf about the Apple discussion website no problem .. then if I tried to log-out .. it said the server was 'no longer responding' ........... and off course I still can't access Flickr, or the other sites I mentioned ..... from ANY machine, but no problem with Google, Yahoo etc.
Anyone ANY ideas please ....... ?

I deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

i deleted my cookies and now i can't access gmail facebook and other sites

Thanks, but I tried that and was directed to set up a new password which I did. But, it still wouldn't let me go to my existing Gmail. I was asked to set up Gmail account. I also tried accessing my Gmail from Yahoo. Failed. Someone suggested setting up another Gmail address so that when you logged on it would ask you which Gmail to open. This didn't work and only made the problem worse. Google Help is no help. I guess the only way to access Gmail is with my iPad, but it just isn't right!

I can't access most .mil sites pretty sure I just need it to let me add the security exception but it doesn't give me the option anymore.

Ever since I got the last two updates for Firefox I can't access most .mil sites like ako or even the us army library Europe site. These sites use to come up as untrusted sites that I just accepted and continued life. However now it goes straight to server not found page. I know the site links and bookmarks are good because they are what I used to use. I've read some of the other help situations that are similar and I can see some of the old certificates in the advanced options up nothing I've done in there had changed anything.

To try to distinguish between a change in Firefox and a problem in your settings, could you do a three-minute experiment?
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
''Be careful not to delete anything in this dialog.''
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Sept9, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Do the sites work any differently?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Can't access some secure sites through proxy?

can't access some secure sites through proxy server on osx it just keeps going local authority couldn't be contacted, i had the same problem with parental controls, but now that is off and its still doing it, is there a setting or something i need to enable?

In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?

Can't access my banking site past the identification page,

Can't access my banking site past the identification page. I was getting a message in Firefox, that said "your security settings have changed.... (no they have not), and something about "resetting, Yes or No. I pressed yes, but still could not get in. I pressed NO, and the message has gone, but still can't access the bank. I can access through "Explorer, but not Firefox.

Nevermind, I figured it out myself

How can I save my favourites site address in Firefox 3.6

How can I save my favourites site address in Firefox 3.6

In Firefox favorites are called bookmarks. If your question is about how to create bookmarks, see the [[bookmarks]] article for details. If you are asking about how to back them up, see the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article.

CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent old site that requires work upon it

Dreamweaver CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent web site created within it a while back that requires work upon it. CS4 not open/launch itself either? Therefore can't even export a site file to open up in a newer version but that won't run, support vital menu editing within it.

Try clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences...
Deleting a corrupted cache file
Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
If those don't work, you may need to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool. That won't affect your actual site files, but you would need to set-up the site definitions again within DW: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Can only access one web site

I can only access one web site . www.cisco.com. I am connected to the internet via a lynksys DSL Router, I am using dhcp and NAT from the Lynksys note:works fine for 3 other windows based pc's.
when I try to connect to any other site the page Hangs during load and neve displays.
I can ping all of the web sites that do not come up
I am using a SunBlade 100 and did a new install. I tried the install with webstart and had the same result during the install. again I can only open sucessfully www.cisco.com.

Hello!
I am getting this error, but the above fix does not solve the issue, however I do know what has caused it.
I have an edmx file in a WCF webservice which feeds a silverlight app. The edmx is quite complex and a bit fragile, but was working fine up until I introduced our Industry Codes view into the model. The view is basically { ID, ParentID, Name, ... }. In my model I have created an association to itself which describes Children(*)/Parent(0/1) so I have a nice and tidy hierarchical structure. The edmx and the service build without any errors - hurrah! However, when I update the service reference I then get the below error (and a whole load of others as none of the webservice objects exist anymore):
Error 21 Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'WCF_ContactAdmin'. Please check other error and warning messages for details. X:\2008-054 ContactAdmin_Silverlight\Contact2_Admin_Silverlight\Service References\WCF_ContactAdmin\Reference.svcmap 1 1 Contact2_Admin_Silverlight
When I try the fix mentioned in the link above this error disappears, but then so do all the objects in the datamodel, so I cannot continue from there.
Having the hierarchical data objects defined in the EDM will make like so much easier in future, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

Can't access some web sites with safari

Can't access financial web site since time before last of safari update. Any help?

HT1430 I suddenly can.t access you tube via videos via my iPad . Tried via safari and you tube app on iPad but it says no videos and then ask me for you tube password . Never had to use a pass word

I suddenly can,t access you tube videos via my iPad. Tried safari and you tube app on iPad. I get no videos and then it asks for you tube password. Not had that before.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

What is the "other" - & how can I access or get into "other"?

What is this thing called "OTHER". It's taking up all my gbs. & I can not access the files in "OTHER" to clear them or just to access them. So does anybody know what "OTHER" is? I do know that some of this "OTHER" is used by contact's, calendar, games & other settings etc. But - what about the rest of it? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if someone knows - PLEASE reply to me.

Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

My Mac suddenly stopped playing through my external speakers which are fine and working well with other devices.

My Mac suddenly stopped playing through my external speakers which are fine and working well with other devices.

Have a look in System Preferences -> Sound -> Output.
Plug the speakers out. Do you now see "Internal Speaker" as the name from the Built-in device? If you replug your speakers, is it now changing to "Headphone?

Suddenly can't access my favourite sites ... others are fine ...
