Why do I get "Invalid URL" / "404 - Not Found" notifications on both MacBook and iPhone?

This happens only on my home wifi network, and only to selective sites--usually Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, and, most recently and most annoyingly, Google. It happens on both Chrome and Firefox on my computer, as well as Safari on my iPhone and the apps for those sites.
This happens to all my family's Mac devices. Our network is unsecured (very stupid, I know--it's a long story involving my very tech-unsavvy and stubborn parents).
Restarting my computer, clearing my cache, using secure connections doesn't help at all. The strangest result is sometimes it won't just give me an error message, I'll be directed to another site in entirely--usually MySpace, Yahoo!, and sometimes some weird Swedish fashion blog.
Please help, this is very very very frustrating as sometimes I am blocked from a certain site for hours at a time.
Thanks!

    Captivate 8:  Why am I getting a HTTP 404 Not Found error when I try to preview a responsive project?

    Out of curiosity, some here have recommended renaming an EXE file behind the scenes to eliminate that firewall message when starting up. Are you one of those folks that tried this? My thought is that if so, perhaps this is a result?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using weblogic 6.0 for AIX.
    I'm trying to setup a new web application.
    Right now, I just want to access html files, but the web server is not working
    well.
    I can access the file
    http://myhost/myapp/index.html
    but if I try to access file2.html
    http://myhost/myapp/file2.html
    file2.html is in the same directory, with the same permissions and I get
    the 404
    error message
    At the beginning, I couldn't access index.html, because I created the directory
    "myapp"
    with user "root". Later, I changed the ownership to "wlowner" for "myapp"
    directory
    and for "index.html"
    Then I created "file2.html" with user "wlowner", and provided the same permissions
    as index.html but I can't access it.
    Could someone tell what might be wrong ?
    Any clues ?
    Thanks,

  • Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?

    Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
    I have tried numerous times to connect to ITunes Store to update my current apps and continue to get this message.  Apple has determined that it is not a device problem or an Apple problem.  It has to do with ITunes.  Can anyone help?

    I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
    You can report it to them here ....

  • Why is photostream not working together with my macbook and iphone?

    Photostream is not working togther with my macbook and iphone. How can I sync it?

    Has it ever worked?
    If you recently turned on photo stream on the mac and iphone, then (on the iphone) only new photos are included in photo stream, old ones are not.
    But syncing to your mac (if the photos originate from the iphone) is critical.  That's how you store photos (they can easily disappear on the iphone due to many "issues" that can occur, and relying on an icloud backup is not safe - to many users have lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.
    So be sure to begin by doing a sync to the mac using itunes/iphoto with a USB cable. 

  • Why do I get INVALID URL when I try to use links thru facebook?

    I use a laptop, running Windows7, with Mozilla and Safari as my main browsers. I've noticed that 75% of the time,(when I'm on Firefox) and I am on Facebook, when I try to play my games I get INVALID URL. If it happens on Mozilla it also happens on Safari (I've checked). Nothing I do works. I've tried every suggested *fix*, and nothing helps. It only affects FB and the links thru FB. I can go to any other website, just not fb nor any of the links to my games. All plugins are up to date except Silverlight plugin because I don't know what it is, nor how it got on my laptop. Haven't deleted it because I don't know what it is and what it's for.

  • Why do I get a boot drive not found error only when laptop lid has been closed?

    I've got a HP Mini 210 P/Number: VX818EA with Windows 7 Starter.
    It works fine when turning on after shutdown, but when I've put it to sleep by closing the lid it won't 'wake up', and I get a blank screen. On restarting the computer I get a 'boot drive not found' error, (3F0) which can be resolved by following the steps on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443463&tmp_task=solveCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc...
    I've run disk check etc as suggested on that link, no errors are found, but nothing seems to resolve the problem more than temporarily. Seems odd that this only happens if I close the lid (sleep mode with the lid up is fine, doesn't crash the computer).
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks

    Hello,

    hello vipin,
    how did you start your MAM? are you using the -app option?
    from the log, it seems that you have an auto-login enabled.
    if you ran your MI from NWDS, try removing the debug
    options -logon:<user>:<password>
    how did you ran your MI btw?

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

    Go to Add or Remove Programs and look for Anti Phishing Domain Advisor. If you click on "Click here for support information" you'll see it is a Panda program. Uninstall it. Solves the problem. Don't know why the Firefox folks aren't telling people this!
