Photos on MySpace are showing up as blue boxes with a question mark

I have exhausted the forum. I have tried Resetting Safari, checking my quicktime preferences, system repairs ect... Is there any explanation why most pictures on myspace are not uploading? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This seems to be happening to a lot of people. I am getting a lot of Quicktime icons with a "?". I have also been having problems with loading pages to websites that are using flash most of which will not open. I have been getting the following alert lately *"Safari can’t open the page.*
*Safari could not open the page “ http://www.beaducation.com/shop/” because the server stopped responding."* I have updated all the recommended software to little improvement. I hope apple figures out what the problem is and sends out a notice as to the solution.

Thanks. There may be a setting in your Firewall blocking the images from loading.

Go to your System Preferences>Sharing>Firewall. There, click the stop button to temporarily turn off the Firewall. Restart Safari.

Go to your Safari Menu>Empty Cache.

Try MySpace.

Tried your suggestions still get the blue box with question mark on some of the photos. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I noticed the address bar the loading blue thing is really slow and seems to get stuck at the end. Thanks for your patience.

Hi

Curious if your "Display images when the page opens" selection in Safari Preferences>Appearance is checked. If not, this might be causing the no load problem.
