Unable to load some pages on Macbook but can on G4

Can someone suggest a solution to my problem. On the iMacG4 which is connected direct to the BT Homehub (UK), there is no problem in connecting to the web and loading pages. On my Macbook, most of the time it is OK but there are the occasional sites that it will not connect and load to ,yet the iMac will ! The Macbook uses the same hub but wireless connection. The Macbook just times out and flashes up the unable to connect message. I have tried both Firefox and Safari but neither will open the page. So what is set different on the Macbook to the iMac ? Any suggestions please ?
Thanks
Brian

No further forward. Dealer techie is baffled. I have now deleted all Firefox files and am just using Safari. Have used original install disc to do a hardware check..all OK. ..disc repair .. all OK and permissions ..all OK
The iMac loads the pages but the macbook won't. !!!!
Techie thinks it may be a OS fault and to try a full reload of that.... not too keen yet on this step, might just wait a few days to ponder and see if anyone on this forum has some good ideas.

VPN - Unable to load Citrix page via Airport (but works w/other router)

I had successfully used my PowerBook to connect to my company's system via VPN and Citrix for 3 years using an Airport Extreme connected to a DSL modem. In the last 6-8 weeks or so I have been able to establish a VPN connection, but my browser is never able to load the Citrix Metaframe page, so I can never connect and do work.
Internet Explorer had worked previously, but now gives an immediate "access failed" message. Firefox hangs indefinitely as it tries to load data. Maybe this is due to a security or other software update. I have not made any hardware changes (other than unplugging and restarting everything). NOTE: I AM able to login using other wireless routers, so I suspect the Airport Extreme is at least part of the problem. Any idea how I might fix this? Thanks!

HT1338 My macbook takes forever to load some pages. I have no idea why. Any suggestions please?

Im having problems loading some pages - takes forever and sometimes never load and freezes everything else up. Its as though Ive pick up a trojan or something (had problems in my pre Mac days). Any suggestions on what i can do or how to find out what the problem might be. Using this site wasnt a problem, pages loaded normally. Seems to be when im on comercial sites and searching for items.
I use firefox.
Thanks

Hi - sorry for late reply. I tried all you suggested and it made no difference to begin with, i couldnt even open this page to reply to you, which is why i havent replied before now. But the next day - all seemed significantly better. Maybe using Ghostery takes time to have an effect. Its something i didnt know about so i am extremely greatful for the advice.

Last time I updated pages I lost features I liked and was unable to open some pages files. Now I see the features I liked are back but I have a lot more files to worry about. Will I be able to open files created in 5.2 if I upgrade to 5.5.3?

Within reason, Pages v5.2 documents are forwards compatible with Pages v5.5.3. Apple introduced the single file format document as a default with Pages v5.5.3 which is not backwards compatible with Pages v5 on Mavericks.
However, they also provided a File > Advanced > Change File Type > {Single File, Package} menu that allows you to change the current Pages v5.5.3 document into the backwards compatible Package type document. You would follow this transformation with a File > Save operation to complete it.

Unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro

I have been unable to load facebook on my MacBook Pro for almost the past 2 weeks on my wireless internet at home. It started out not loading using Google Chrome, but the problem quickly spread to all of my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). On Chrome I get the following message: "No Data Recieved Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Error 324." On Safari, it says "Safari can't open the page." My internet connection is fine for all other websites other than facebook. Furthermore, when I brought my MacBook Pro out-of-town facebook worked fine on a different internet source. In addition, facebook and all other websites are able to load on other devices on my home internet (desktops, laptops, iPad, iPod).
I have contacted both my internet service provider and the manufacturer of my router and neither company had any idea how to fix it. They seemed to think it was either a facebook problem or a problem with my MacBook.
I have a tried a few things that seemed to provide a temporary fix lasting about 5 mintues or a few clicks around facebook:
1. clearing the cache and history in my browswers
2. changing some settings on my router
3. restarting the router
4. connecting to the internet using ethernet instead of wireless
I would really appreciate any help in trying to fix this problem!

Hello there,
I had the same exact problem. This is a simple DNS issue which you can fix through your system prefernces. Look at the DNS setup (System Preferences/Network/Wireless/Advanced)
After doing so, go to THC/IP then there try to change in the Configure IPV: to DNS manual address, try inserting the ip address you had previously. It wont work but by doing so, the computer will try to inster new settings. Then go back to was there before which is Using DHCP... then go back to DNS tab on top add your ip address and connect as usual. This worked for me, I was lucky I have no clue how it worked I was just trying to fool around with the DNS settings which are clearly the source of the issue.
hope it works for you.

After Update, Safari only loads some pages.

Hello,
On my Powerbook G4 (OS 10.4.11), I recently installed Security Update 2008-008 (PowerPC), and since I've installed it, Safari (v3.2.1) is loading only some pages. This is not just Safari, but Firefox will not load some pages either. Pages that will load include Google, Gmail, and Yahoo. Some pages that won't load include Apple, Facebook, YouTube, and most large pages. It seems that
When I ping these sites using Network Utility, the average pings for these pages are as follows:
Google: 100 ms
Gmail: 17 ms
Yahoo: 17 ms
Apple: 100% packet loss
Facebook: 90 ms
YouTube: 85 ms
I have 5 devices on the network: two Macbook Pros, one Powerbook, one Nintendo Wii, and one iPod Touch. Each device works perfectly fine except for the recently-updated Powerbook.
Failed attempts to fix the problem:
- Resetting Safari
- Restarting the computer
- Power cycling the router
- Resetting the PRAM and NVRAM
- Fixing Permissions
Are there any changed settings which could have caused this malfunction?
Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Hmmm… then there's some larger-scale corruption with files that we can't pinpoint, so at this point you should do an Archive & Install with the option to Preserve Users and Network Settings. You will not lose any programs or data, just get a new copy of OS X installed and the old one removed. The old copy will be put in a folder named Previous Systems, which you should delete. You will also need to download the 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 Combo Update and install that, as well as Use Software Update to bring your system current.
To do this:
1. Quit all running applications and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
2. Insert your Mac OS X install/restore disc and restart your Mac from it (hold down the 'C' key until you see the startup screen).
3. Proceed with an install as normal, but choose Archive & Install with Preserve Users and Network Settings; then run the installer.
4. Eject the disc after the Mac restarts.
5. Quit Software Update if it runs and tells you to update things. Instead, download and install the 10.5.6 Combo Update; then run Software Update to bring your system current.
6. Repair Permissions again.

Unable to load some websites after an update to IOS6

I am unable to load some websites in both Safari and Google Chrome. This did not bother me until I found at that I cannot access some websites I can access before and frequent. I am unsure if this was caused by the update to ios6, but this incident only happened after the update. I am unsure as well if this is related to the problem of me unable to connect to itunes and app store after the update. I've fixed those by changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and changing the time trick. I've also noticed that twitter and some apps crashed a lot. I have no problem connecting to the wifi though. Thank you in advance.

Some additional details I have also noticed. Some images will not show or appears as a blue and white question mark in some websites. Even here in apple website.

People generally will not download files so it is to your benefit to include all information in your posting.
What code are you using to load the swf's? Does it work for some and not others? Are you getting any error messages? What is the folder structure relative to the files that you are trying to load and the files that try to load them and any html page involved?

Safari wont load some pages...please help

safari started running slow for me a couple days ago. when i go to load some pages, such as myspace, i get the error message "Safari can’t open the page “http://myspace.com/” because Safari can’t find the server “myspace.com”." i have no idea why this would happen. if someone could please help it would be much appreciated. p.s. im kind of a noob so if you have a solution that is somewhat complicated, step by step would be appreciated.

reaper --
The Apple Discussions site has been having problems for about a week now.
Up, and then Down. They are working diligently on resolving it.
As for FB --
A lot of posters report problems on that website.
I have not experienced any problems, but I have no idea why.
Perhaps FB is super busy . . .
Sometimes, when I'm having problems, I shut everything down, and unplug
the Mac, the modem & the router. Let everything sit for 5 mins. Then restart
modem/router until the lights get steady. Then restart the Mac.
Just a thought.

Unable to load web pages. This is what I get when I enter them; Unable to connect

Yesterday I turned on my computer & was not able to use Firefox. Nothing had been changed on my computer. No web pages will load. When I hit enter this is the message I get:
Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.geocaching.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

It most likely means your internet connection is out. Wait a little while then try again. You might also want to reboot your computer. If that doesn't work, please reply.

IPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones

iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
Can anyone help

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar from my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes, I have tried everything, even the icloud doesn't seem to do it.

I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar to the Address Book or iCal via iTunes, I have tried everything including watching support videos and putting this into a search engine. Even icloud doesn't seem to be doing it.

If you are trying to sync via iCloud, make sure your MacBook is running OSX Lion 10.7.7, and that you have set up your iPhone as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and you MacBook as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.htm (including turning On Contacts and Calendars as shown in step 3). If you're syncing via iCloud don't check to sync in iTunes too (on the Info tab in iTunes) or you may end up with duplicate data.
