Myspace not working

Hey fellow mac users,
I just bought a Mac yesterday (for the first time) and I use myspace constantly to stream music. Most of the time, the whole page loads but the part that plays music never loads. My other friends who have macs say that those websites loads perfectly for them. Can anyone help me or do I have to bring it back. Thanks!!

For all the people who had trouble with myspace, i've had a bunch of time with this same issue (taken from another forum):

When surfing the web with Firefox, if I try to open a myspace page, it kills firefox's connection to the Internet. Myspace is VERY slow to load, and it almost never completely does. Sometimes the music player loads and sometimes it doesn't. It always messes up firefox's connection. I have to quit firefox and reload it to get it to work again.
Safari does no better; it takes a long time to load and generally doesn't load the whole page either. Sometimes it works, sometimes half the page loads, sometimes I only get a blank screen with blue question marks.

I've tried running firefox in Rosetta. It did not help and actually made FF slower and use a lot more CPU time...

I just tried uninstalling firefox (with app zapper) and reinstalling. Clean install of firefox and it did the same thing. Myspace would load but when it is trying to load the music player it seems to take forever, and when I try to go to any other website it will not connect.

SOLUTION:

CHange your DNS server to 4.2.2.1

How to change DNS server: Go into your mac's system preferences/ Network / Airport / advanced / DNS - Add 4.2.2.1 to the DNS Servers list


Since I did that, the music player on myspace loads super fast and most of the page does also, i just did it and results were instant. Tell me how yall did. Mine works fine now

I am also having issues with myspace page loading correctly. When I pull up my page on my macbook it doesn't display my slideshows or music player.

When I open up my page on my older XP OS desktop and the appears and loads fine. implying that the slidshows and music player are in fact there but just not viewable on my laptop?

It must be a setting on this computer but I'm new to mac's and don't know how to look into things quite yet. any help appreciated.
