Won't load some websites which AOL does load. Did system virus scan;no viruses. What else do I try?

Certain sites were loading on Firefox but now will not. I get a message saying Server not found. These same sites currently load fine on AOL. I followed Firefox guidance and ran a system virus scan. No viruses were found. What else can I try?

Please see [[error loading web sites#w_connection-errors|error loading web sites#w_connection-errors]]
Please let us know of your further progress on the issue.

  • TS3408 why will some websites which loaded fine before now not load - when other favourites load fine, and new searches are fine?  This only affects 2 websites, both of which were bookmarked.  I have removed them as bookmarks and this makes no difference.

    From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.

  • 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.

  • Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.

    Fire fox loads some websites and not others. Pages that don't load in Firefox do load in other browsers. Clearing cache and history doesn't help.
    One of the websites that doesn't load is google.com! It loads some of the page, just some menu items at the top of the page. Then, it hangs and remains in the Loading state (with the spinning wheel and "Loading" in the tab) indefinitely.
    The problem started after 3.6.11 was installed. I'm on Mac OS 10.6.4.
    I would be happy if you just showed me where I can download 3.6.10. Also, is there anything special I have to do if installing an older version?

    I ended up going into the clear history settings and setting it to clear history when Firefox closes and chosing it to clear history and cooking and browsing history when Firefox closes. Now the links work fine and the last page I was looking at before I closed Firefox is no longer there when it opens again. Problem solved!

    Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

  • IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

    My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

    Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.

  • Firfox 8 is sometimes very slow to load random websites and others it loads quickly, IE8 loads all websites ok. Have cleared cookies and cache and allowed ff as exception in Windows firewall.

    I use FF 8.0 (x86en-US) as default browser, since update to 8.0 FF intermittently takes ages to load some websites, sometimes not loading the site at all. To rectify this I go back one page to the Google results or hyperlink and ask FF to load the webpage again. This usually solves the problem but not always. I have cleared cookies and cache and added FF to exceptions in windows firewall. The websites affected are not always the same and some that load quickly one day can take ages next time. IE8 loads all websites OK. Antivirus and malware scans all clear.

    Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
    - If itunes does not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restire it.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My iphone 3S camera was working fine, but now the pics are getting very blurry. I've already tried cleaning the lens. What else should I try doing?

    My iphone 3GS pics are getting really blurry. At first it didn't happen. I`ve tryed cleaning the lens, but it didn`t work. What else should I try doing?

    I would call Apple tech support, which is excellent.  Or take the phone to your local Apple store - not AT&T or Verizon, as the Apple techs specialize in Apple products and are somewhat fanatical about them.
    Regarding the photos, they are probably still on the simm card in the phone and recoverable.  Check with the Apple folks to get them back... sorry about your pet!

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Safari won't load certain websites but Chrome does :/

    Hello!
    I am running OSX 10.10 and safari ver Version 8.0 (10600.1.25). I had the Yosemite beta before this current installation and Mavericks before that.
    When I try opening certain websites with Safari they will not load. They will get stuck in the "loading" screen (the blue bar under the omnibar will start going from the left to the right) but the page simply wont load. When I try to access the same website with Chrome it loads instantly. Is there any way to reinstall Safari from scratch to see if that will solve the issue?
    Thanks!

    MIght be a plugin ...
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference then you need to troubleshoot third party add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    And try deleting the cache associated with Safari. (Not the same as deleting the cache from the Safari menu bar.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Clck Go
    Move the Cache.db  (or ApplicationCaches.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And several of the sites you mentioned require the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin, then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure there's enough free space on the starutp disk. 
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon in your Desktop. Click Get Info.
    In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    And remove any items in System Preferences > Security > Login Items

  • MacBook Air won't load some websites

    Hi,
    I've been having this issue with my new MacBook Air since I bought  it a month ago and I still don't know what to do.
    I'm using Safari as the main browser and I connect to the Wi-Fi network at home. It's strange, but it happens very often that I simply can't access websites like Facebook, Google, YouTube etc. on it or any other browser (I tried Mozilla, Chrome), while for example my sister with her Windows (w/Google Chrome) notebook loads these websites perfectly when we're in the same room. It is also strange because when I simply turn the wifi off on my mac and leave the browser open, the page will load itself immediately. (Of course I can't use it because I'm no longer connected to the internet...)
    Can you help me with this? I believe this is a software glitch since all other (Windows) computers in my family can load the websites while using the same browser and the same network at home.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you very much,
    J.

  • Firefox won't load some Yahoo sites, yet will load others like My Calendar, etc.

    Recently, my Firefox has stopped loading "some" pages for Yahoo. I cannot load for example, My Yahoo Home Page, it just comes up "blank", no error message or anything. This also happens when I try to just load the base Yahoo page. Yet I am able to load my Yahoo Mail Page, as well as my Yahoo Calendar. It also occurs in other sites that I have used as well, so it's not related specifically to Yahoo sites. It also is Crashing when I try to do things as simple as click on the "why keep your Add-Ons updated link in the lower right of this forum help section. This is why I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, as I figured something got messed up to make it unstable.
    As I said I have "uninstalled Firefox 4.0 and re-installed it", but yet no change. I also am able to load these various Yahoo sites when I use an different browser. I have also cleared my History and Cache, Cookies, etc, but still nothing has helped.
    I need to fix this ASAP, as my home page has things on it that I need, and when I load up my yahoo in Explorer for example, I am missing a lot of my Favorites, Tool Bar Bookmarks, etc. Any help with this would be appreciated.
    UPDATE: I just got off a chat session with support, and they suggested I run FireFox in Safe Mode, disable all Add Ons and then add them back one at time if I need them back. I did this, of course, "lost" my Chat Session and the problem described above "STILL" exists. Now I have an even bigger mess, as I have none of my same "look" and feel of my Firefox that I had before. How do I get out of "Safe Mode" now, and get back to the same look I had before? Remember, once I get back to this point, then I still have to deal with the "Original Issue" I once had posted above. Thank you.

    Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
    I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
    Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

  • Unable to completely load some websites so I can navigate them. This began when I allowed Yahoo e-mail to use the "https" on all of the e-mail earlier today. The IE is still loading websites without a problem. FF is the my primary browser.

    OS, XP SP3, AV ESET NOD 32, Version 5. Zone Alarm Extreme, hardwired firewall.
    Some websites (1 especially) only a few options appear and when I click nothing happens. The site is like "dead". Using the IE, it opens and I can navigate it. I never had this problem before, however it has appeared with a few other sites as well, starting today. No matter which URL I select for this website, it comes up with the same appearance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like 3rd app process startup with Windows caused this problem.
    In my opinion, it would be better to use Autoruns to check Window Startup items if there is any IE activX start with IE.
    Download Autoruns:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    Pleasse use Autoruns to check system startup items carefully, and try to remove 3rd items for test.
