How to Fix Mac Not Loading Certain Websites | MacOS Catalina and Below

Hey everyone, today we’re going to be going over the top five ways to fix an issue in Safari on your Mac where certain webpages won’t load. First, we take steps to isolate the problem, including going over steps like disabling your ad-blocker or antivirus software to ensure they aren’t the root of the problem. Then we check for issues with your computer handling things like your IP address, we reset Safari settings to clear data, we check your hosts file, and more. I hope this helps to solve your internet problems on your Mac, but if you have any issues with it, feel free to check the Apple Support link or comment and I’ll reply.
Command: networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi

You have no idea how I'm thankful to you brother, I have been dealing with this stupidity for over 6 months, and I even watched your video before, but never went to the end, today finally I came back and did all steps, and when I did step number 5, my problem got fixed. You have no idea how I'm excited, so much. May God Bless you, and give you all the best, be healthy, be wealthy, be blessed, you and all your family, I'm truly thankful and I really appreciate your help. Maaan, Thank you! God Bless!!!

[@janferrante1024]

Thank you sir for such a wonderful tutorial. I couldn't get 3 to load but did try the rest. When they didn't work I tried resetting my modum/hub and that did the trick. Wonderful job. You are going places Mr. :) All the best.

Hi Thomas, my Tube Buddy is installed and shows up when I go to @ but when opening other people's videos- I can't see their Tube Buddy analytics or information. In the Tube Buddy section where their information should appear, it just says loading and continuously shows the spinning wheel. Can you help with which method # of yours would be best to try? I have Safari...

[@TDVProductions]

This may be a TubeBuddy issue although honestly I couldn’t recommend a fix specifically because I’m not sure how TubeBuddy works. You can try some of the methods I gave but I am not sure if they’ll work. Sorry about that.

I hate most of these tutorials because there always seems to be something missing on my screen that's critical to fixing the problem. Not this time! Not sure which step did it, but it worked!! Thousand thanks TDV Productions👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you Thomas, I did all of the steps several times and it finally worked. I'm not a tech person at all but you made it easy. Thanks so very much !

[@TDVProductions]

Glad I could help!

[@thailjanine]

I watched many youtube videos that did not help me at all. My mac was not loading any websites via chrome. I tried the terminal commands you recommended Thomas and everthing is working! I was shocked that it was completely fixed! Thank you, thank you, thank you Thomas!!! I highly recommend you Thomas!

[@TommSlickTV]

Thanks man! I didn't give up and went thru all your steps! It was the last one! The MAC'S BACK!

[@xaosnox]

Thanks for the helpful video. Very nicely done. None of those things were my problem, though. Turns out something reset my DNS servers to MEGA cloud service's feed IPs. Not very cool. Even though these particular tips didn't help, trying them got me to check my DNS settings and figure out the problem, which was effecting all internet traffic, not just in Safari. Hope this helps someone.

[@aubreypalmer1627]

What do we do if we can’t set configure ipv6 to off only: automatically, manually, or link- local only?

[@TDVProductions]

automatically

[@bloxrebublix4557]

It's always nice when you get it at the beginning! First one worked. I had to reset the DHCP Lease. That's all I did. Thank you!

[@gracedale1148]

You are a genius!! I spent over an hour on the phone with an apple representative and they couldn’t fix the problem, then I decided to go to the Apple Store. The guy couldn’t still fix the problem. I ran into your video and bingo. I followed step three and I fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

Same here, did you resolve this problem?

Mine didn’t either but I just continued on with step 1 and it worked. This guy is a life saver forreal

[@lifeslooker]

Do the following: 1. Open Finder 2. Click on Applications 3. Click on Utilities Folder 4. Double Click on the Terminal app 5. Run the following command in the terminal window: sudo networksetup -listallnetworkservices ( copy and paste this command using something like Paste Plain Text , then there isn't an issue with formatting ) This will list all of your network interfaces and their names. 6. Identify the network interface you are using, most commonly Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Use the following command in the terminal window to disable IPv6 on that interface. Please note that you may have to use quote marks to envelope the interface name. A few examples: sudo networksetup -setv6off Ethernet ( you DO NOT have to do this command - since if you're just using Wi-Fi, then that's all you need to turn off ) sudo networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi You will be prompted to enter your OS X administrator password. Afterwards, IPv6 will be disabled - check by looking in the System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP.; should be OFF While usually not necessary, if you wish to re-enable IPv6 on your device, you can simply run this command in the terminal: sudo networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi sudo networksetup -setv6automatic Ethernet Hope this helps....

THANK YOU SO MUCH. The Wi-Fi struggle was so painfully real 🥴😅... but I guess I was having a hosts situation because your #3 solution totally fixed it for me.

[@andrewmacqueen9664]

Hey Thomas, thanks to you I fixed my issue with a page not loading and it turns out it was the host file (solution #3) so I opened your supplementary video on host files. Your step by step instructions were great EXCEPT i couldn't erase the existing text until I opened up the folder properties and change the permissions from "read" to "read/write". I KZbind another video to figure that out. A friendly suggestion: maybe alter the video or at least add a footnote to advise people why they may not be able to modify the text in Terminal. Thanks again

[@Nonakinz]

Thank you so much! Number 5 was the magic number!

[@cartrich]

Thank you. #4 took care of my biggest problem. I still have another couple of minor ones but that may just be compatibility issues. Thanks again!

Thanks for these ideas. I was working on a customer's late model macbook pro earlier today, to configure a TPLINK repeater. After successfully getting the repeater working (for a windows computer in a different building), suddenly the mac would only load SOME websites. Looking through your suggestions, I will try some of them when I go back tomorrow, but the problem occurred also with Google Chrome, so it is not Safari-specific. I also tried giving alternate DNS settings, but this shut down all websites. Very puzzled by this. No luck so far.
