Using certain websites?upgrade?

Hi Im new to mac and still finding it all a tad confusing!!!when using certain sites for eg moonpig earlier when I went to buy a card it says I have an old version of the safari browser?Is there anything I can do about this without having to pay money out?
thanks

There is a 4.0.5 version of Safari that will install and run on Tiger (10.4.11 required). There may also be several attendant updates to go with it before Safari 4.0.5 will install. Such as security, java, quicktime, etc.
Software update will tell you what you need. then you have a choice of downloading the standalone updater from the Apple Support site or using Software Update to download and install them.
I recommend you run Disk Utility prior to installing updates and if you have a lot of them according to Software Update you would be wise to back up your data first.

How do I get certain websites to work on my MacBookPro?

I've been working on this for more than four hours now, and I'm extremely frustrated. Here's my problem:
When I try to use certain websites (i.e., Google, Facebook, Yahoo) instead of going to the page, there is a pop-up that says my Flash Player may be out of date. I hit ok, and it takes me to a screen that has two buttons: Update and Remind Me Later. It doesn't matter which one I click, it tries to download Flash. The option this screen gives me is not compatible with Mac, so I found the correct one on this site.
I've searched the forum for answers and tried everything I found on here, as well as spent an hour with Apple Customer Service. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash multiple times. I cleared all my caches, I reset my Safari, I made sure all the preferences were selected in Safari to allow for plug-ins to work. I went into the settings for Flash Player and deleted all the site data. I made sure everything was up to date (OS X 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5), but I'm still getting these messages. When I was on the line with Apple, Youtube was working and playing video, but now it is not. On the Adobe site I was looking through the troubleshooting and came across a screen that said if the yellow clouds were moving, then Flash was working. The yellow clouds WERE moving, but I'm still not able to connect to certain websites.
What else can I do? I'm in a foreign country and Facebook is my best option to stay in touch with my family, but right now Flash is making that impossible for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is your installed Flash Player version?

Certain websites are unable to load?

I have the MacBook from 2010. Whenever I try to use certain websites, the same thing shows up. It says that Safari or Google Chrome is not connected to the server. My internet is connected and websites like Facebook and Youtube are working perfectly for me. I cleared the cookies, the cache and the history and nothing is working. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Instant solution. No idea why mine was set to 0 though. Thanks!
For those who come in later on with a similar problem, you just need to edit your config for
network.http.sendRefererHeader
and change its value to 2
(2 is the default value. See link by cor-el for more info)

When I load certain websites the the writing is all squashed up. I correct this by changing the character encoding setting. I am using the latest Apple Mac machine. Thanks in advance

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

I get error messages when I try to visit certain websites using Mozilla Firefox but not when I use other browsers

About two days ago I noticed that when I tried to access certain websites using Firefox I always got this error message; "The connection was reset". I initially thought it was a problem with my isp before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and iPad. I then attempted opening the same links that brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.
Basically the only website that works on my Firefox browser right now is Google but if I do a search on Google and then click on any link that comes up as a result I get the same error message, "The connection was reset". I can also log into my gmail account but I cannot access any other website including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.
I cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all the browsing history but the problem persisted so I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled it. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a&as=aaq and still nothing. I am not sure what the problem is here but any solution will be much appreciated. I have used Firefox for years now and I am not really comfortable using another browser.
I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the latest Firefox 32.0.1

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See '''Creating a profile''':

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Unable to use certain sites after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2

After upgrading (unintentionally) to iOS 8.0.2 I can no longer use certain sites that I regularly used previous to the upgrade. The bookmarked signon page comes up and is pre-populated with my userid and password. However the ipad does not respond when I touch the "logon" button on the screen. The screen is not responsive...almost seems frozen. This upgrade is useless to me if I cannot use these sites. Anyone else having these issues? Any solutions?

I do not have any issue in using Lync 2013 on my iPhone 6plus. Our corporate IT has solved the problem; I am not aware what all changes they had to do in the Lync server.

Want to use parental controls to prevent myself from being able to be on certain websites, but i can't do so on my account because i'm the administrator and parental controls don't work with the administrator. How can i do this?

go on certain websites, but i can't use parental controls on my account because i'm the administrator. How do i prevent access to websites?

Thanks for the reply, BUT --- i can't fool myself. I can make all the other accounts i want, but i'll still be able to get into the admin account and therefore have access to the websites i don't want to have access to. Is there a way to block websites from ALL accounts?

I'm having difficulties viewing some content of certain websites using any browser on Maverick!!

Hey,
I can't view some content of certain websites on any browser. I'm running on 10.9.2 and I have tried this on Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari and nothing seem to work. For instance, I can't view the videos on 11secondclub.com or login to digitaltutors.com
Any thoughts what the problem might be?
Thanks!

XML parsing error may have to do with a corrupt cache or profile.

Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion? My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites. Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not. So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible. I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon. Again, thanks for the help. I will download the latest version of Flash.

I really am not sure if it's firefox or is it my internet broadband is the problem. HELP ME. I NEED TO REBLOG SOMETHING OFF TUMBLR SOOO BAD!

Unable to access certain websites and game servers when using E1500

I've been having a strange intermitent problem with my E1500 wireless router. When we first bought and installed it everything was working well with no known problems. After several months no one using the router was able to access certain websites as well as a game server that we play on. No one had made any changes to the router settings and I assumed at first that it was an ISP problem. After talking with our ISP tech support they finally suggested plugging my PC directly into the modem rather then the router. I did and found that the websites and servers that previously wouldn't connect while using the router were now reachable. As I said not myself or anyone else had made any changes to the router settings since installation. I decided that just in case someone unauthorized had made changes to simply revert the router to factory settings and reinstall the software. After doing this I found that I could again reach the websites and servers that I previously could not. So time went on with no problems until a few months later when the same websites and servers were again unreachable by anyone on our router. I again reset the router to factory settings and changed passwords as a precaution, but this time the websites and servers were unreachable even though I had just reset the router. I'm a little confounded as to what could possibly be causing this. I have had family and friends who live elsewhere use the websites and servers during all of my troubles, so I'm certain that they were not simply down. I'd greatly appreciate any and all help.
A few of the places that are unreachable to me are as follows:

Perhaps, you could flash or update the firmware to the latest. Reset and reconfigure the router. You can download firmware here http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E1500.

On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin (Java). When executing the download, it says 'the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. I'm running 4.01. It was fine before the upgrade.

On a certain website, it says to click here to download plugin Java Runtime Environment. I receive the message installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings. It was fine before the upgrade to 4.01. I have another PC that has IE on it and it works fine and again it worked fine until the upgrade to 4.01. I've done the off-line download but in Firefox it still says I need the plugin and still results in the installer cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection settings.

You can install Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/ 
You also need to update your Flash installation since the one you have at the moment exposes your system to attack. It's a similar story for Adobe Reader.

On certain websites, I cannot use instant messenger. It comes up as a "connection error". If I use IE8, I do not have this problem... I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash player downloads... what gives?

When attempting to use an instant messenger on certain websites, I keep getting a "connection error" message.... The IM pops up, it appears to start loading then I get the "connection error".
