Unable to load requested page

zeb316 · 10-20-2003, 08:01 PM

I am unable to connect to apple.com. I am using Mozilla 1.3 and receive the following error:

'Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.'

I know that cookies are enabled for Mozilla, and don't have a problem connecting to any other web site.

When I use Internet Explorer 6, it tries to connect but repeatedly redirects me in an infinite loop.

I have tried using various other web browsers, such as Opera and Mozilla Firebird, with the same results.

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I can verify the page is working. Have you tried clearing history and all cookies that are from apple.com?

did you scan for viruses and spyware?

did you check your hosts file?

I can't believe it! It was my HOSTS file. I had configured some mappings of IP addresses to host names using this file, and Apple.com was one of them. I had done this quite some time ago, and completely forgot about it. Apparently Apple.com's IP has changed since then, so that's why it would just redirect me in an indefinite loop.

Thanks Midknyte!
