Why won't my browser allow me to load Google pages/links or Bing?

When I try to go to Google.com, an error message comes up and says, "The connection has timed out. The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond."
It also does this at Bing.com and if I do a Yahoo search, but I can get on Yahoo.com to check e-mail.

I have started seeing the same issue as well. In fact able to get to sites like microsoft.com, oracle.com, but not igoogle.com, gmail.com, google.com or bing.com amongst others, and same as you re yahoo.com to search. I tried from IE 8/9, Firefox 4, Opera and Chrome and all have the same problem so I don't think this is just a Firefox problem.
I see nothing in the registry indicating the sites that fail, although have just had a visit from a program "Best Malware Protection" which I wouldn't be surprised if it had a hand in this before I removed it. (Seems I can no longer open the Task Manager as well anymore).
Perhaps these are unrelated, but perhaps not
If anyone comes across an resolution I would greatly appreciate hearing about it
Thanks

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad?

Why won't my iOS 7.03 update load on my iPad? It has said 1 minute remaining for 4-5 days. It may have not had enough room at first, but I deleted a bunch of apps so that now I have 7 GBs free.

If you can, try loading the iOS update using iTunes on your computer.

Hi. As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers" in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot

Why won't my browser history clear?

This latest upgrade has been awful for a very basic computer user like me. I've used Mozilla happily for years but the amount of time I'm spending trying to put it back to the way I like it is starting to make me reconsider the whole thing. Chrome is looking awfully good right now.
I've already spent hours trying to rid myself of the Yahoo thing that just suddenly appeared as my search engine and now my browser history won't clear. I used to be able to go to show all history and delete. Easy! Now even when the history says it's clear, even when I've closed down all the tabs prior to closing down mozilla (except for my home page Google) When I reopen Mozilla the last four tabs are back again. It should, based on my my prior usage, only open to my home page and if I want to restart at my previous tabs it asks me. Why is this happening?
I'm a very basic computer user and this sudden hijacking of my browser and search engine is actully a bit distressing and frankly I'm getting sick of trying to fix it.

I had a similar problem clearing the browser history that was maddening. No matter how much I cleared the history when I went to type in a web address it would still show a list of webpages I had visited that started with similar URLs. It is unclear if this is the exact problem you are experiencing but here is how I fixed it:
* Go to the following menu: Tools > Options > Privacy.
* At the bottom of the menu there is a seperate setting for the Location Bar (which I guess is the term for the area you type in web addresses).
* Change the setting to "When using the location bar suggest NOTHING."
I don't know why they kept this seperate from the other options to clear your history. It seems like a pretty bad design flaw to me, very counterintuitive. I hope that helps.

Email yes but why won't web browser work?

In the last few weeks, both my powerbook G4 with 10.4.6 and my ibook with 9.2 have develop problems browsing the web. my web surfing will be fast and fine and then, without warning, i click a link and it will search without success for as long as ten minutes. i can stop and reclick, try a different web site altogether, quit my browser and relaunch it, try another browser and i can even restart my airport base station. none of these things work. it just reconnects whenever it feels like it. the whole time this is happening, my airport icon is telling me i have a full connection and my email works at regular speed (Entourage), so it isn't like i am completely disconnected from the internet. why would one part of my online connection (email) work perfectly all of the time while my web connection through my browsers works intermittently? especially when everything worked perfectly for eight months prior to this.

Tom,
You mean that the IP address of the mail server (even for a different ISP's mail server) has been "cached" somehow ? I tried to mention this earlier, ISP's will "cache" the IP addresses for the big-ticket websites and mail servers (like gmail and hotmail maybe).
It can also happen at the network level, usually OSX Server is required, or a PC equivalent - but this isn't usual for individual computers. I suppose it could also happen at browser level, but I don't know of a browser that does this. Cache the IP address of each website visited and it's valid for that session only, would be harmless.
The original poster could take note of the IP address of something big (google) - using traceroute in the Network Utility - next time the web goes south, try accessing via the IP address.
I did hear of a horde of complaints about AirPort and OSX 10.4.5, but none that allowed the user to still receive mail (even from a different ISP). I've searched the discussion forums again just now, nothing. Although there was one thread relating to the inability to use email while the internet worked fine. Maybe you could post a link to the threads you've found.

Why won't data merge allow more than one data source at a time?

I need to number tickets, 8 up on a tabloid page, in InDesign (CS5)
I have found out how to use data merge, but it won't allow me to select more than one data source at a time, therefore, making me use 800 sheets of paper instead of 100. That's not acceptable!! Is there a way to merge the pdfs if I make 8 different ones in the places they need to be? Each file that I export will have 100 pages, so is there a way to merge the files to put all eight tickets on each sheet, sequentially? This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Past users have solved this frustrating problem. You can find their solutions with a Google search like "InDesign data merge multiple sequential items on one page" without quotes.

Why won't my browser load?

Hello. I hope someone can tell me what is wrong with my browser, because it's been doing weird things. Since yesterday, my browser has been loading without the address bar. I'll hit Command T to access Top Sites in another tab. The space where the address bar is supposed to be is blank. The Top Sites are there. When I click on a page, the browser gets stuck and will not open the site. Or it will access the site, but the page is dim and frozen. I have to restart my computer to get the browser working again. It's happening frequently since yesterday. I've never seen my browser malfunction like this before. Please tell me what is wrong? I have attached screenshots of the problem. Thanks for the help.
FYI, I was informed months ago that Apple won't be sending me software updates anymore, so my browser has not been updated since a year or maybe more.

As you are running Leopard 10.5.8 that would be Safari 5.0.6?
Yes, no further updates for Leopard, and if yours is a PPC iMac that is as far as it can go. If it is an Intel iMac you could upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Try deleting Safari's Preference file from Home/Library/Preferences, then repairing permissions, then rebooting.
Reset your Safari preferences, such as the toolbar etc. OK now?

Why won't the browser display this?

It compiles and I can run it from the command line. But when I

// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Connect to the database

You cannot run JDBC/OCI program inside a browser.
Try using THIN driver.

Why won't my Mac allow me to print my whole iTunes wish list?

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and I'm trying to print my iTunes wishlist. For some reason, the whole list won't print. I have about 325 songs in my wishlist, but I can't print but 115. I have changed all the printer settings possible but can't find a solution. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thank you, Advance 23, for your interest. I am not generally having a problem printing multiple pages. I am, however, having a problem specifically printing my entire iTunes wish list. I do not receive an error message. When I click on print, it shows 13 pages to be printed. It does print 13 pages, but only the first 41/2 pages contain part of the list. The rest of the pages are blank. "All" is selected as the number of pages to print. I'm not sure what you mean by a program from which I am printing the list. I just have my HP printer set up as my printer for my Mac, and it prints all of my documents. What I have done instead of printing the list is take screenshots directly from the wish list and printing them. I cannot copy and paste it into Pages or TextEdit because only the first 41/2 pages of the list show up in the pages to be printed section. It would be really great if you could solve this problem.
