Google images not loading properly!!

hi bustedbeetroot,

Is there any kind of content filtering happening by your ISP, and or router?

you could try resetting safari.
open safari, safari menu, reset safari, check reset cache. You may want to reset cookies while your at it; but then you'll have to log into websites again.

some times google will freak out if your DNS is up to date. Resetting the DNS cache can help. a program like DNS flusher will reset your DNS cache for you.

We just bought a new iMac because we thought our older eMac was just too slow now but found the problem with loading Google images at Picasa web and on our blogspot bloggs seems to have just got worse.
We have done all has been suggested. We have used all the different browsers Safari, Opera, Firefox, Camino, Flock. We have cleared caches, reset the same nothing seem to make any difference
All very frustrating considering this is a new machine. Any suggestions would be helpfull as we just want to be able to fix the problem.

It definitely could be a router issue.

Hello William, thank you so much for your advice! It was indeed the firewall in the modem. We turned it off & viola solved a problem that had been plaguing us for months!! Your discussion thread info was most helpful & informative. I will just add that the other confirming clue was when I went to use smile box for the first time on the new Imac & the clever little application also diagnosed the problem & popped up a message in English! asking if we had a personal firewall as smile box was not able to access the internet & then some technical stuff. So thanks for your prompt attention. Very much appreciated.
Cheers Rob & Catherine

Very happy to help!
