Troubleshoot an Error in a URL

Few things are more frustrating than when you click a link or type in a lengthy web site address and the page doesn’t load. While there are a number of reasons this might happen, often times the URL is simply incorrect.

 If there’s a problem with a URL, these easy to follow steps will help you find it.  Here’s How:

If you’re using the http: portion of the URL, did you include the forward slashes after the colon?

Did you remember the www? Some websites require this to load properly.

 Did you remember the .com, .net, or other top level domain?

Did you type the actual page name if necessary?

 For example, most web pages have specific names that end in .htm or .html, among others.

 Are you using back slashes \\ instead of the correct forward slashes // after the http: portion of the URL?

 Check the www. Did you forget a w or add an extra by mistake – wwww?

 Did you type the correct file extension for the page?

 For example, there’s a world of difference in .html and .htm.

 If the website is a common one that you’re familiar with then double check the spelling. For example, www.googgle.com is very close to www.google.com, but it won’t get you to the popular search engine.

 If you copied the URL from outside the broswer and pasted it in the address bar, check to see that the entire URL was copied properly.

 For example, often times the URL in an email message will span two or more lines but only the first line will be pasted in the browser.

What is .3GP Format

Definition: .3gp and .3g2 are file extensions for video in 3GP format. This is a multimedia container format used by mobile phones. 3GP is a simplified version of the MP4 format and was designed to make file sizes smaller so mobile phones could support video.

There are two standards for this format: 3GPP, with the file extension .3gp, and 3GPP2, with the file extension .3g2. 3GPP and 3GPP2 stand for 3rd Generation Partnership Project and 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 respectively. These were separate collaboration agreements between several countries standardizing mobile phone formats. 3GPP files are for GSM based phones, 3GPP2 files are for CDMA based phones.
