After Mavericks OS upgrade, can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb

My machine can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb. This happens whether I try it curl, postman, or ajax.
curl -i -X OPTIONS http://www.google.com returns curl: (52) Empty reply from server
It should return a long string containing a 405 error code.
I suspect that this is related to the Mavericks upgrade I did earlier this week. I only have one mac (my dev machine) with Mavericks. Other macs are Mountain Lion and they don't have this problem.
Can anyone else with Mavericks confirm whether or not they have this problem too?
If this is Mavericks related, anyone know of a fix or workaround?

Turns out that it wasn't Mavericks related at all. Cisco AnyConnect has a security module running behind the scenes even when you're not VPNed into anything. It was blocking my OPTIONS verb requests. I was able to make these calls after uninstalling.
Re-installing with Web Security turned off should prevent it from happening. While I was uninstalling I did notice that there was a web security uninstall script in /opt/cisco/vpn/bin but I already committed to taking the whole app off my machine. Simply running that script could have done it too.
I must give credit to Ben Nadel. It was his blog post that helped me fix this issue.

Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

With version 3.6.3 I can no longer do a right click with the mouse and check the properties of a live url link on web pages

Windows XP Pro, SP3. Firefox 3.6.3. Ever since updating to this version a few weeks ago I can no longer do a right click of the mouse and check the properties of an active url link on webpages. I've always had the option before. I want this feature back!!!!

In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.
You can use ''View Image Info'' or ''View Page Info'' in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.
You can use the above mentioned extension (Element Properties 6) to get that context menu item back.

Why Can I Only Make Black Shape Layers With the Line Tool?

My question is this: How do I make an arrow as a shape layer that's other than black?
Here's what I tried:
1. Choose the Line Tool, and using the cog turn on the arrowhead at end feature, and set the weight.
2. Drag a line on my image, which creates an arrow-shaped path. So far so good.
3, Click the [Shape] button to make a shape layer from the path. Note that the arrow is black, even though my foreground color is white.
4. Double click the shape layer icon and a color picker comes up. Change the color, and note that the arrow stays black.
Seems like a bug: You can have any color shape that you want, as long as it's black.
Here's the above sequence shown graphically:

Now I need to figure out where to turn that off by default.
OK, now I see the Fill and Stroke options - ONLY VISIBLE IN THE OPTIONS BAR WHEN TOOL MODE Shape IS SELECTED - that affect the operation of the [Shape] button.
Personally, I really LIKE the concept of always making a Path, then doing with it what I want (e.g., make a Shape with the button).
I'm not sure what I'd suggest about making the Fill and Stroke options available, but clearly the method of haivng them only show when making Shapes, and not when using the [Shape] button is a stumbling block even for folks who are familiar with the product.
I would probably turn off the Stroke feature by default, though, then let people discover it.

Have lost my Administrator account - can no longer make any system changes

Since I had forgotten my Administrator Password on my son's Mac, I inserted a Leopard DVD, restarted the Mac while holing the "c" key and used the utilities menu to reset the password on my Administrator acount.
After following the on screen steps to reset the computer, when I rebooted the Mac my administrator account was now completely missing.
All that is left are two standard user accounts that work fine but do not allow me to install new hardware becasue they are not administrator accounts. What did I do wrong? and can I recover my Administrator account or promote one of the remaining standard user accounts to adminstrator level?
Thanks in advance for any help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
What did I do wrong?
Did you use a Leopard DVD on a Tiger system? That's what your post appears to be saying.
and can I recover my Administrator account or promote one of the remaining standard user accounts to adminstrator level?
You can use the appropriate one of these User Tips to promote one of the existing ones:
I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier)
I lost my admin user (Mac OS X 10.5)
Be sure you use the right tip, and also to make the appropriate username substitutions.

Since upgrading to IOS8 i can no longer open any email attachements. The usual view only tells me witch kind of document is attached. If i say open in dropbox or an other programm, nothing happens

Guess the title should tell everything. It always worked, since update cant open attachements

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

I can no longer see my iPods names with the new look iTunes and also don't know where to sync it when I've added songs.

The old version I could see the name of my iPod but now I can't! I also used to be able to sync my iPod but I can't see anywhere to do this now! Any help greatfully received!

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
Turning on the sidebar should make things easier.

I can no longer find my apple TV with my iTunes, need to pair them, suggestions?

Hi, I can no longer find my Apple TV with the new version on iTunes (i'm on OS X) on my computer, I need it so I can pair the Apple TV and iTunes account, any suggestions?
Thanks!

if it's an appletv 1g then you should go to settings on your appletv and remove the bind with the computer
and then set it up again
if it's the small black appletv then you don't pair them from itunes you only use it as airplay speaker and the atv access the itunes shared lib

Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts?

IOS 6.1.3 Update on iphone 5- can no longer make calls

Hello
Since upgrading this morning I can no longer make calls.
Sometimes the call drops as it starts to ring. Sometimes it tries to make the connection for 10 secs again but then give me the dreaded 3 beeps.
Was perfect until I upgraded - but not now.
Help!

I have discovered that my iTunes media folders permissionslî(file attributes) were read only, and that is why the iTunes program was unable to see my music, except the cloud songs. When I changed the permissions and then "added the folder" iTunes was able to see all my itunes media. However after closing out iTunes and rue entering, the music and Apps were no longer visible. Looking again at the iTunes file permissions in windows, I found they were again designated "read only". I changed them again and add folder, but something is causing the file attributes of my iTunes folders to be "read only". Please provide any insight or suggestions for correcting.

I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libraries

I upgraded to 10.5.0.142 on windows 7 and I can no longer add any music to my libaries.
It makes a notification sound, but there is no message, and it just doesn't do anything.
How frustrating. Considering apple make excellent products, iTunes is terrible.

I find a way to add music.
Make sure iTunes is closed.
Go to the song file on your computer. If the file has the little black musical iTunes symbol as its icon, just double click the file. It should open up in iTunes and stay in you library.
If the little black musical iTunes symbol isn't next to the file, right click the file and go to "Open With" and then click on "iTunes". It should open up in iTunes and stay in your library.
Yeaaa its the long way but that's the only way for now, unfortunately.

Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell.
Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.
