Software :: Cannot Access AOL Or CNN From Any Browser
Jul 9, 2008
I can't access aol or cnn on my mac using safari or firefox. I have performed a clean install of my mac software 10.5.4. I have worked with verizon dsl to check my dsl box. It's ok. Any other sites I have no problem. What could be the problem why I cant access CNN or AOL for over a week now.
He says they have a guest Wifi network, but it won't let me access Gmail (which I need for work), Facebook, and who knows what else I might need whilst doing research. I don't know much about networks (I'm a Mac girl; my knowledge of networks pretty much consists of "plug in Airport"). I don't know how they're blocking the sites they're blocking. Can anyone give me a concise, "go here, put in these numbers" kind of solution to ensure that my browser has free access today? I'm willing to pay for a pay service or app, if that's necessary. Not terribly worried about other ports being open; I can live without iChat if I can reach Gmail & Facebook via the web. using whatever the latest version of 10.6 is.
I am trying to set up a webserver in order for others to access certain files via HTTP. I've turned on the Web Server and activited WebDAV. I'm unsure of what to do next.I am able to access the directory /Library/WebServer/Documents when I logon to the server through the Finder window. That's as far as I've gotten. But, ideally, I would like someone to be able to go to the URLs....to get to the target directory (or target file) "Example", and have it prompt the user for a name/password for authenticaion. I experimented with creating a realm, and having it point to a folder I created (e.g. Folder = /Library/ WebServer/ Documents/ Example), and giving myself access. I am unclear what the URL is for that folder. Going to urls... gives me a 404 error: Object not found.
I also tried pointing my realm to a location instead of a folder (e.g. Location = /Example). Now when I go to http://ourservername.com/Example, I get a 403: Access Forbidden error. But I'm unclear how to set access to the location, and where that would be actually located on my server (how can I add files to the Example directory?).
I just recently installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro. Everything seemed to work well, especially after I installed boot camp for windows and its drivers.
However I can't seem to connect to the internet. My router is detected but when I select to connect to it I get no internet access.
So prior to my snow leopard update everything was working fine. Than I installed SL and ever since than I cant down load anything at all from the store.
The message I get says the following:
"there was a problem downloading (insert name of movie or whatver here). You do not have enough access privleges for this operation
My sytem is OSX 10.3.9 for the moment I'm running FireFox and Safari, but Safari crashes quite often and wont open a lot of pages. I want to keep Firefox (2.0.0.20) but want another browser to back it up.
I personally am using chrome for mac nowdays in snow leopard. Why? Safari has gone into idiot mode with flash, safari adlblock no longer works (in 64bit) and it seems to take too much memory at times, which my 2GB system cant handle Firefox is so-last-generation. After using safari and chrome firefox seems miles slower at almost everything. I do however use it for its excellent addons So, which browser are you primarily using nowadays? (snow leopard or otherwise?)
Don't know where to put this? but as I have a mini and have asked questions here will ask again. I'm not that interested in Netflix etc or games but would like to watch other type movies say life Lifetime etc. and had thought if I got a DVD player with WiFi it would work but no so from my son, I need something with a browser. My TV is an older model Sony Grand Wega KDF-42WE with coax, composite video, s video, component video and 1 HDMI connections. What can I use?
I made a simple test by opening same webpages with firefox and safari.facebook, gmail, apple start page and an internet newspaper...in activity monitor safari was using 270 mb of memory versus 170 of firefox... on a clean reboot...before after using safari for a while.. kept the open pages and reopened them in firefox.. it was safari 550 mb vs. firefox 250 mb
i've used PC all my life but i'm switching to a Mac hopefully by the end of this year so i've been searching the internet looking at the minor differences (i.e. alt on windows is cmd on a mac) but there's one thing i was wondering about but i can't find it. in windows, when you're in the web browser and not typing anything, you can hit the backspace key and it functions as the back button. i used this keyboard shortcut a lot and i was just wondering if you can do this on a mac as well.
I have a Macbook 13' Leopard today i faced a problem and its that i can't browse the net on any browser i have Opera Firefox and Safari ALL don't work and i can't even open google so now am using some dirty pc i can use Aduim Skype Lastfm iTunes etc.. but i can't use the net on any browser and to open google once it took me around 20 minute with constant refreshing of the page
I have an iMac running OS X 10.5.5 and recently signed up for ATT DSL. Part of the installation is having the ATT Yahoo home page. It seems ATT email uses different versions of their email depending on what browser launches the email app. I know this because we also have an iBook running OS X 10.4.11 and the latest Safari for Tiger as well as Camino and depending on which browser we are using we get a different looking page. The one presented to Safari on 10.4.11 looks to be an older version with less functionality. So, my question - any experience with Camino running under 10.5.5? Any reason not to? Any suggestions for other browsers?
iCloud says set browser to 100%. I have Safari, not Google Chrome. I've searched and don't know where to find it.P.S. I have no tools bar. I see no wrench that people have been mentioning.
I have a MacBook 10.4 and I would like to update my Firefox and Safari Browsers, but I get error messages stating that I need 10.7 or higher. Is there a way to update browsers on an older Mac?
I am using safari and It doesnt always crash. But it will crash on certain sites like youtube and facebook (the only reason to have internet... haha) and it will sometimes crash on gmail. it will load fine on google though. I read that I needed to run a disk utility repair on the permissions and I have.
I recently arrived at college and when you join the wifi network (and through ethernet) you have to register your computer. I did this at orientation and everything worked fine. Once I got here I had to reregister (maybe they reset something in the system, so I don't think its a big deal but youre supposed to only have to register every 12 months).
I believe what happened is I opened Safari and I registered over Wifi and ethernet. And then nothing would load while I was on wifi, but Skype would work (but I've noticed that the Pandora One app won't load, but I'm not going to worry about that, at least for now. I can use the website).
So after like an hour chatting with tech support, resetting Safari, restarting, trying Chrome, I go in to the library where tech support is.
Being a web designer/developer, I use Adobe Dreamweaver to write the HTML and it has the feature to see a live view on different specified browsers. My question is:
Is there a stand-alone application for OSX.6.5 (like Microsoft Web Expressions) that is just a browser compatibilty utility? MS Web Expressions gives you options for overlaying, split screening and other useful tools, but refuse to dula boot!
Using Firefox but it annoys me in the bookmark management and freezing up too often. Safari is faster but no way to help the toolbar color for visually impaired. Is there another good, fast browser available?
I'm trying to access one of my ice hockey sites but firefox and safari fail to connect. The site is [URL] Firefox stalls waiting for [URL] I can get to [URL]. Can other MAC users access the site? I did have a trial of little snitch, but removed it with the uninstall, no problems with any other sites.
I'm just wondering how many of you like to run your browser windows fully maximized to take the whole screen or have them just a bit big enough. I used always like having my current app always fully maximized but now that I'm using a Mac and OSX I size them down, which feels and looks really cool.
I'm on my first mac, bought last week. I'm using the new Safari 4 browser and its slow. Anyone else notice this? I'm an old firefox user but dont want to go back because I like the mouse pad gestures in safari.
