Hi folks. Macbook Pro 10.6.8, iPad 5.1.1 Both started having trouble a few days ago loading some websites. Couldn't upgrade iPad apps because it couldn't connect to iTunes store. When it finally did hook up, some store icons were blank. Then it was good, then it was bad again. On the Macbook, Safari couldn't find Netflix, and iTunes had those missing icons here and there, as well. Three of my ten Dashboard widgets are offline as well. Everything else is working fine, good feed. Very strange. Help?

You may be experiencing DNS problems. Sometimes they're temporary, other times it's because your ISP has switched servers for whatever reason and that can cause problems. Try using OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.

Or if you are already using either of those services, switch back to your ISPs DNS. This can sometimes clear up a LOT of connection problems.
