Browser Compatibility

Like many other Web networks, Google sites are continually evolving to take advantage of new browser and Internet technologies. While Google sites support virtually all of the most commonly used browser applications, you might receive “unauthorized access” or “your client does not have permission” errors if you are using an older or lesser-known browser. To ensure your browser is compatible with Google services and sites, use updated versions of Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari.
Cookies

When installing new browser add-ons, toolbars and even malware or virus programs, it is easy to inadvertently disable cookies in your browser. Most Google sites use cookies, or small files stored on your computer to help speed delivery of services or make logging in to certain sites easier. Verify that your browser is allowing cookies by clicking the “Tools” or “Options” menu bar option and ensuring that the “Accept Cookies” or “Allow Cookies” option is set to “Enabled.”

Browser Hijackers and Malware
-
If your computer contracts a virus, browser hijacker or other malicious application, the result could be a denial of access to Google and other popular websites. Download a malware or rootkit removal tool to resolve the problem. Free anti-malware programs include MalwareBytes, Spybot Search & Destroy and HiJackThis. If you have a genuine version of Windows, you can download and install Microsoft Security Essentials for free as well.
ISP Problems
-
Domain Name Services, or DNS, servers translate the hostname, or "dotcom" name, to an IP address. Hostnames are much easier to remember than long IP addresses. Most Internet Service Providers, or ISPs, host DNS servers and resolves domain names for their users. However, if too many people access the servers at once, or if the servers fail, the result could denial of access errors for Google and other sites. If other attempts to correct the error fail, this is probably the problem. In most cases, if you wait a few minutes, these types of errors will disappear with no action required by you.
