Safari 6.1 freezes and then can't connect to the server when I refresh the page
Hi everyone.
I have a Mid 2010 13" Macbook. It is running the following..
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Hard Drive: 320GB
Recently Safari has been acting up. Everything will be working fine but then it will freeze and when I switch to another tab that tab will be white, as will all other tabs when I switch to them. When I refresh the page it force refreshes all other pages but on a lot of the pages (Facebook, Twitter, google, Gmail, mostly things with a password I think) it says that it can't make a secure connection to the server. I tried switching to Chrome and the same thing happened and then I switched to the Guest User and the same thing happened.
It has also been telling me that I have no more space on the startup disk but I'm not sure how that can be the case. I currently have 272GB free of a 319GB hard drive so I'm not sure what the problem is here! When I restart the mac everything is fine again but I have noticed it is taking longer for the mac to start up now. I have repaired disk permissions, I have reset Safari and cleared the history. I have downloaded OmniDiskSweeper and it has told me that the highest usage is in Spotify caches and my Gmail folder. So I deleted the Spotify caches and deleted all my emails. I then tried to delete the mail folder in Finder but when I do it just builds itself back up again.
When I used Disk Utility to verify the disk it found no issues.
I tried to shut down and restart it to run the hardware test but it doesn't boot up, it just takes a lot longer to reach the log in screen.
I don't know what else to try! Any help would be welcomed.
Try this DNS server ..
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet. This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade. Please advise.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed. -

I've updated to OS7 on my iPad and now can't connect to the App Store. The internet is working and it works on my phone, though slow; is this an App Store problem or a problem with the software upgrade? Am I alone with this issue?
belive it or not this worked for me:
“Go to Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again or press the button from Passbook. If you get an error message, go back to the Settings app and change Date and Time > Set Automatically back to On. Then go back and try again.”
please note that when you go to app store when you change time to future go through passbook / and close the app then and then wehn you set time back to auto go back to app store through passbook and it will work then close it and then normal app store icon will work form now on
good luck -

This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Safari 5.0.1 can't connect to proxy server (when 5.0 could)
Hi,
I use a MacBook Pro at home and at work. At work I have to access the internet via an http proxy server.
After updating Safari to 5.0.1 I now get a "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.openstreetmap.org/” because Safari can’t connect to the web proxy server (HTTP)." and then goes on to tell me how to access my proxy settings in System Preferences. Safari works fine at home, accessing the internet via ADSL.
Camino works fine, OSX Software Update works fine. I have the same problem with extensions enabled/disabled. I do have the WebSnapper plugin working but this was not a problem with 5.0. I have tried resetting Safari but to no avail.
Any ideas
Thanks
IainHI Ian,
Please click My Settings on the right side of this page and tell us which Mac OS X you are running. Thanks!
I do have the WebSnapper plugin working but this was not a problem with 5.0
Turn off Extensions, try Safari using that proxy server. That extension may have been compatible with the previous version of Safari, but not the latest update.

Installed 8.1.1 and still can't connect to the iTunes store
So for about 3 weeks I've been unable to connect to the iTunes store. I've allowed iTunes as an exception to my firewall; I've even tried turning the firewall off. I just installed 8.1.1 and I still can't connect to the store--what is going on? Any advice or anything?
Ah! I got it! I tried turning off the Symantec and that wasn't it (but thanks for the suggestion), but after poking around on the forum, someone said to try this:
try going to control panel > internet options > Connections > LAN settings
Then uncheck "automatically use a proxy server"
And voila, iTunes works! Thank you so much for all your help though; it's nice to know that someone is trying to help. -
Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet. Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast. Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine. Any suggestions?
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
I just returned from vacation in the states and I can't connect to the internet
i can't connect to the internet on my mac air. I know that the internet connection is good because other devices and computers are using it. I'm not sure if it is because I used my computer in the states while I was on computer. Can you help me get back on?
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant. How far do you get?

TS1368 Updated to 10.6.1.7 and now can't connect to the itunes store!
I've used itunes for several years (with regular annoyances) however since i upgraded to the latest version i cannot connect to the itunes store. i use windows 7, windows firewall and mcafee family protection but even if I turn off the latter it still can't connect. I've tried the help advice but nothing seems to work. Anyone had a similar problem?
You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

How come my brother and i can't connect in the same game online using my WET54GS5?
When i first got my WET54GS5 my brother and i could connect in the same online session using two ps2's that are both connected to the WET54GS5 which is linked up to my WRT54G V 5 router flawlessly. Now all of a sudden whenever we try to connect to the same game online the one that is already in that session gets disconnected. There have even been times where one got connected and was using the other persons settings (example: Jared and Justin log on to the same game at the same time, Jared can't connect, but Justin can however Justin is now playing as Jared's character.)We can connect to other games under the same setup just whenever we want to play in the same game we can't. It seldom works though but only like twice out of ten times. I'm wondering what the issue is here and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get us connected to the same game with no worries. And if your curious both playstation 2's are running star wars battlefront 2. Message Edited by JJbro1 on 06-17-2008 09:47 PM
Message Edited by JJbro1 on 06-17-2008 09:48 PMTry to figure out or make sure QoS is enabled on both devices (referring to bridge and router) and set to AUTO mode or fair mode. Also ensure there is no manual settings on the PS2s for ip (this applies to most modern game systems as well)
Udated gaming systems are designed to attempt taking full advantage of bandwidth available, by enabling QoS, or similar named technology depending on the brand of the network device you will prevent your gaming system from hogging all the network bandwidth and stomping out the other game system. They will be forced to equally share the bandwidth and eliminate this kind of situation. I sometimes need 7 game systems online at once and I ran in to this problem a lot,, QoS enabled and never had it again. -

I have turned on my I phone this morning and it is asking for a pass code I have never used one and cannot get past the page can anyone help?
You won't get a reply on your email here. These forums are for users who want to help other users.
