Will a trip to the genius bar help me out? Thanks for the reply's.
  

  
  

  
  
  Sounds like a Genius Bar trip to me.

  RAM has nothing to do with internet access. You've got some screwy internet settings. Try resetting Safari via Safari Menu>Reset Safari...

  Of course I know that RAM has nothing to do with the internet. I was just stating another problem that I had.
  
  
  
  Thanks for the help. I will try reseting Safari.

  Seems unlikely Apple would block access to its own website...

  Really strange...
  
  
  
  You could try entering the DNS settings for OpenDNS to see if that solves the problem? (Check the site for details and follow the instructions; undo them when you finish if it does not). It is a little bit of a stretch, but your problem is also pretty strange. This probably won't be the case if other computers at your house work.
  
  
  
  Trying Firefox is definitely something to do. It helps to narrow down the problem.
