Work around for server not found problems on FF36

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

Well done. Thanks for finding that.
That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.
* Bug 1093983 - DNS resolver should not use 'ANY' to get cached records for TTL <sup>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1093983#c35 c#35]</sup>
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2015-03-03#Schedule_Update
With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.
* Bug 1138242 - DNS: Request A and AAAA record types rather than ANY when obtaining TTL on Windows

Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
Procedure:
1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
4. Install iTunes 8.0
Here is where it gets dumb.
This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
Take care all.

I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

Work arounds for XMP sidecar import problems?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has figured out a workaround for the fact the Aperture 2.x doesn't support importing EXIF data with pictures that have sidecar .xmp files. Applescript? Something else? If not, I was thinking about trying to solve it myself. I'm wondering about the new plugin architecture or Applescript. I really don't know much about the details of either and I'm wondering if it's even possible.
Note that I write Mac software professionally (I used to be a dev lead on Entourage), so if we can figure out a way to do it, I have the technical chops to get it done. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd at least try to get star ratings and keywords importing working from my Lightroom library. I have something like 12 thousand pictures I've painstakingly keyworded. It took me weeks. I'll cut off a toe before I do that again.
I really can't use Aperture until there is a solution for this. Call me crazy, but I really would have rather had this feature in 2.0 than tethered shooting, if a choice had to be made (thought Tethered shooting is dang cool).
Please Apple, help us out here. We're trying to use your product but you kinda screwed the pooch on this one... :-P
thanks,
Mike

No way to do this right now. I guess it might be possible to write an application that would parse the XMP metadata and then use Applescript to add it to Aperture. Actually, I think Annoture (a 3rd party product written to help migrate from iView Media Pro to Aperture) did this.
Other options are:
* Convert the RAW+XMP to a DNG file with Adobe's DNG converter or with Lightroom or ACR. Aperture can read the DNG file and will get the metatadata (ratings, keywords, etc.). You still won't get the adjustments.
* I've heard Photo Mechanic can do something similar -- actually write the data to the RAW file itself. If it can take the XMP and write it to the RAW you could import that.
I'd really love to see this feature as well, BTW. Makes it as easy to get stuff in to Aperture as to get it out.

Does anyone know a work around for cs6 not supporting video on windows 8.1? Can i use another program to open it and get it into photoshop?

Thanks in advance.

Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.

Our email keeps shutting down and saying server not found. It works fine on all the PCs but not our iMacs. Any help would be appreciated. We just downloaded the new LION - would this be an issue?

I feel like I'm getting closer. First, the connector on our cable didn't fit snugly. Tug it slightly and it lost contact. I put a new cable on the server and now it seems more robust. Server Admin opened faster, anyway.

This server is bound to Active Directory (using Directory Utility -- don't know if I need to do it elsewhere?) and I'm not sure what was trying to authenticate at that time.
My error messages for "server not found" have gone away for my iChat client, but now it just pops up the authentication window over and over when I try to log in. I'm wondering if there's something missing in the server binding?

Firefox 4 on Mac goes through periods of time where it brings "server not found" or "problem loading page" pages. I have to re-start firefox to get it to work again. Works fine on Safari.

Hi, ever since I was prompted to download the new Firefox 4, I have continuously been having this issue. I will type in a domain name and it will automatically prompt me to "server not found". The websites work fine on Safari and Google Chrome, but not firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox about 4 times and I really need a solution!
Also, I have done all of the IPv4, Cache, and other solutions listed in the article on having certain sites not load. I'd appreciate some help! Thanks!

Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

No internet, "PPPoE Server Not Found" message. Same problem with both old and new modems.

Help please!
My internet connection with my old Westell 6100 modem was working fine, then quit all of the sudden and would not restart. The DSL and Data lights on the Westell modem were both green. The Internet light alternated between red and off.
I tried every troubleshooting thing I could think of:
Powering down and re-starting the modem and computer.
Resetting the modem.
Checking all of the wire and jack connections.
I plugged my computer ethernet cable straight into the modem, bypassing my router.
I tried both Windows and Mac computers.
I plugged the modem directly into the network interface on the outside of my house to bypass all of my house wiring.
I checked all my phone jacks with a telephone tester to make sure both phone lines were working and not reverse-wired.
I made sure I did not have a DSL filter installed on the modem line.
Verizon Tech Support did a line test and told me the line was fine but that there might be a problem with either my modem or something at the "central office" (not sure what that means). Verizon also sent me a new router as well -- a D-Link DSL-2750B.
The new D-Link router also does not connect to the internet (same problem). The DSL, Data, and Internet lights are all green on the D-Link. I have the computer directly connected to the modem with a new ethernet cable. I repeated the above troubleshooting steps. I went into the router configuration 192.168.1.1 and ran the modem's "Internet Troubleshooting" tests.
There were two error messages on the router configuration screens:
1."PPPoE Server not found" error message is shown on the summary screen.
2."No internet infrastructure present. Please call your infrastructure provider." is shown in the "internet troubleshooting" test results.
Verizon had me change some settings inside the router configuration -- no dice. Verizon ran another line test. A "Level 2 Tech" took over the call and told me that he thinks that the cause of the problem is that the outside wiring coming to my house is reverse-wired. How can this be true since my DSL worked for 2 years before this, my phone line tester indicates my phone lines are wired the right way, and my router reports "PPPoE Server Not Found?"
Verizon is sending out a repair tech to check the outside wiring but I don't think that is the problem at all.
HELP!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're getting DSL sync (solid DSL light), this sounds like a case of a bad line card to me. I've seen it happen before where it wasn't an account or route issue to the network.

Server 2003 R2 sp2 on IBM T42: is there a work-around for getting bluetooth to work?

I have seen a few forums here and there talking about possible work-arounds for the lack of a bluetooth stack in server 2003, and they have not worked.
The driver here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-50245.html
Installs without compalint, but after reboot, cannot find a bluetooth device. The bluetooth service starts and runs happily.
I found a hack-around solution involving update Q323183 for tricking 2003 into installing a bluetooth stack elsewhere, it also failed to return any results.
Has anyone figured this one out?

welcome to the forum!
i had this working on my T42p back in the day but that was 6 years ago. it installed using the driver from IBM and the MS BT stack. i'm about 95% sure i was using the standard version of 2003 which by default includes a BT stack. enterprise and datacenter do not since there's no logical reason for either one to be running bluetooth due to security risks.

"Server not found" error on every site after some use, the pages work fine in other browsers

I'm getting the "Server not found - Firefox can't find the server at blablabla.com" error after using Firefox for a while, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 2 hours. This error appears on every single page, and does not go away until I restart Firefox. Google Chrome can load these pages with no problem, so it's not a problem with my internet connection. I've already done everything on this page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Server%20not%20found
And it did not help at all.
I have not installed any new extensions, plugins, userscripts or anything like this, and everything was working perfectly fine until a week ago.

I've encountered 404 errors and xmarks keeps popping up when I try to open igoogle.
All of the is in Firefox4.0 Beta 8.
I don't have any problem in Chrome, no 404 errors, no xmarks showing up when it should be the igoggle search page.
Most disconcerting.

When I click on Mozilla Firefox I get server not found. When I ask for help I get server not found. Without my intention visual bee is in background.

I recently responded to a prompt to upgrade Mozilla Firefox and started seeing visual bee in background and got lookup for browser safeguard.com.com failed. Can't get into Firefox. My version is 3.6.12. Help requested. Thanks Keith

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox periodically shows "server not found" message for Verizon/Yahoo email. Often self corrects in 5 to 10 minutes ?

System is Windows VISTA. While on Verizon/Yahoo mail Firefox will lose the connection and shoe a "server not found" message. Explorer will connect with no problem to the email server. The problem self corrects with in 5 or 10 minutes but this may happen 5 or 6 time in a day.
Is this a Firefox problem with proxy access. Settings appear to be the same.

i forgot to mention , that when i striped this machine back down to 10.3.7 and before i re built i did do a hardware check with the original install Disks [3] and every thing came back clean.
the weird ness with the colors on window, if i pass a app like text edit over the area , the color will not cover the app but stay in the background.
when i first saw this color thing i had the preference pane out and was moving it around on screen and the colors were bleeding off of the preference pane onto the screen.
if you have any idea as to what is going on here let me know.
thank you

Weblogic 6 Post Installation Problem - weblogic.Server not found

"problem loading"; "unable to connect"; "server not found" - ??

Been using Firefox 6 years with DSl. Recently have gotten nothing but the above messages - can't open any pages! Got a new DSL modem, re-downloaded Firefox and still can't open any pages - not even mozilla.com or google or cnn.
Rebooted, restarted, etc.
Even tried to download Chrome, but it failed - and I couldn't find out why because the "tell me why" defaulted to Firefox.

I am running 18.0.2 for mac and I get a "server not found" randomly 4-5 times a day. This is a wired connect .. can I correct this?

When I hit the "try again" button, I connect instantly and then don't have the problem for a few hours.
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at bbm.boardhost.com.
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
