Browser troubles with newly installed Tiger

Since installing 10.4.6, I'm having trouble getting to most websites with any of the browsers on my machine. This includes Safari, Camino, and even Internet Explorer 5.2. The problem is not consistent, as I will get an error message several times, and then get through (sometimes). An example of the error mesages:
Google Error
Not Found
The requested URL /exchange/ was not found on this server.
My ISP (Earthlink) suggested I delete all cookies containing earthlink.net, which did not solve the problem. I tried deleting all cookies, which still did not solve the problem. I don't know if it's a compatibility problem between the browsers and the OS, between Earthlink and the OS, or what. Help!

Intermittent sounds like Hardware, but try trashing the "/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist" for a start.

  • Problem updating newly installed Tiger (upgrading from 10.3.9)

    Hi,
    I'm having troubles updating my newly installed Tiger (10.4.3) to the newest version of it.
    I tried Software Update but after checking it says that I have the newest available software (which is not true), and when trying updating from the combo updates available at Apple website, I get the following screen:
    http://kaarlows.sites.uol.com.br/Fotos/update.jpg
    I've downloaded all combos, starting from 10.4.8 version until 10.4.4 one (which is the one I took the screenshot above), and all of them show the same error.
    I've already restarted the computer, repaired permissions, disconnected my external drives, and still couldn't update my operating system.
    I upgraded from Panther, version 10.3.9, using the option of “upgrade” with the Tiger installation DVD.
    Could somebody help me out here?
    Thanks;

    Did you run Disk First Aid repair on your boot volume
    with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when
    booted from the Tiger install disc before proceeding
    with the installation and were all external
    peripheral devices except for a keyboard and mouse
    disconnected during the install?
    No, I didn't, and my external USB hard drive was connected to the Mac when I was updating.
    If no problems were reported by DFA repair, this
    probably won't make any difference but if there were
    problems reported that were successfully repaired, it
    might.
    Beside repairing disk, I also repaired permissions once again, and there were no problems reported.
    I restarted the computer, and still software update continued to say that I was up-to-date and the update combos I downloaded all showed the same error message from the screenshot above.
    Will I need to reinstall again Tiger? And will the option Archive and Install work even if I'm reinstalling again the same system?
    Thanks for the fast reply,

  • I'm having trouble with the install of Adobe digital editions

    I'm having trouble with the install of Adobe digital editions, how can we fix this? It will begin to dowload it says complete but stops there, no other prompts and if you click the close button it appears that it begins to delete itself. How can i fix this issue?

    Hi,
    It would be great, if you provide us with the environment where you are trying the install the ADE.
    For Example,
    - ADE version
    - Operating System
    - Anti-Virus you are using.
    - did you logged in as Admin or user on your computer.
    (*any error message you are able to locate/view  from Event Viewer- If using Windows OS)

  • Synching iPhone with newly-installed iTunes

    I plugged in my iPhone to newly-installed iTunes on a new laptop (to synch it) and a message popped up telling me iTunes would take my iPhone back to its factory settings and that I would lose my media etc. Will I get it back? And how?
    Thanks

    Howdy Paddy275,
    I would recommend copying your library from the other computer to this one. This article will help with that:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    The content WILL be wiped when you sync the phone. But if you have the library that has all your media in it copied over and you can see it all in iTunes, then you will need to select what to sync back over. Use this to assist with that if needed.
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    If you cannot copy the original library to your new computer, then you can always redownload your past purchases free of charge from the iTunes store.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Troubles with upgrade from tiger to snow leopard

    I just bought the full SL pack to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard but it is coming up with a different interface than my brand new macbookpro that came with sl installed. Is this normal or does it have to do with the fact that the old macbook pro is the first version of the intel macs?

    I see. Your need to drag them to the right side of the demarcation line--the white squares in perspective. They don't work under the line.

  • Trouble with Leopard install...

    I am trying to install leopard on my macbook pro and it showed an icon of my HD with a yellow exclamation point, saying I needed to change my install options. The only two options were Journaled or case-sensitive Journaled. (both needing to erase my HD.) I selected Journaled and clicked install. The DVD ran a check and then said that it could not be installed, with this error message:
    "Installer could not create the folder "/Volumes/MacintoshHD/BaseSystem.pkg.1432Vz5v8"
    I clicked on restart to try again. It is currently checking the DVD again. If it fails, what should I do?
    thanks

    If there's nothing on your hard drive that you want to preserve, I suggest erasing using the disk utility on the installation DVD. You can access this utility from the "utilities" menu, and use the Disk Utility to verify the disk before you proceed with the install. I suggest doing a full "write to zeros", which will take a little while but will be one additional way to ensure that the disk is functioning correctly.

  • Trouble with Maverick install

    Trouble downloading and installing Maverick on Mac Pro.  Computer is from 2007 and running snow leopard Mac OS X (10.6.8)- seems ot have plenty of available space and memory...

    There are ways to get Mountain Lion or Mavericks onto a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro. Some are discussed at xlr8yourmac.com.
    Do you have a specific need for Mavericks? I am running it wirh caution on only one drive, until the various bugs are addressed. Still using Snow Leopard for everything that matters.
    If you are worried about the lack of security updates for Safari 5, just use something else. Current versions of Firefox or Chrome work in Snow Leopard.

  • HT5100 Sync iPod (Shuffle) with newly installed iTunes; songs deleted? :(

    My music from my ipod (shuffle) is not on my ipod anymore after my newly installed itunes on my PC asked me to sync my ipod music, where did it go? My itunes library did not have any songs which is why I thought the songs wouldn't be replaced. I need help ...

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party progtam like one of those discussed here
    Copy music
    - WHen everything is on your computr connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • Error Code 16 on Mac with Newly-Installed Yosemite (a Java problem?)

    Like many out there I am unable to use CS6 applications at all after an OS update to Yosemite (in my case from 10.8.5, on my 2012 iMac).  I get an Error 16 message, and a Java problem error message.
    I've read many posts about fixing this issue, including the Adobe gospel very specific to this problem—about changing the permissions in a couple of folders—, which I found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html   I did exactly as directed and saw no change in the problem. 
    I also read that the Java version necessary for CS6 products to run on Yosemite is a boondoggle in itself.  Java 6 is apparently necessary for CS6 products to run, but that version is insecure, and besides, it's old.   Java 8 Build 31 is the current and safe version but it apparently is incompatible with none but the most recently-updated Adobe products.  Several posts on Adobe's support pages suggest a hacky fix for this Java issue, which involves downloading and installing the latest Java version from Oracle, and then creating specifically-named empty folders on one's hard drive within a couple of obscure System/Library/Java folders:
    http://oliverdowling.com.au/2014/03/28/java-se-8-on-mac-os-x/
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/7193884
    I did this too, and again saw no change in the problem.
    Re-installing my CS6 suite has not worked, either.  I receive the same error code message when starting up any of the applications.  At this point I've been forced to go back to my previous operating system, since I am heavily reliant on CS6 to do my work each day. 
    I understand that many people are having this trouble after updating to Yosemite, and more than a few posts on these forums indicate this is true even for people like me who've followed Adobe's purported fix that I linked above.  Has anyone in userland or at Adobe found anything lately that could help here? 

    uninstall cs6 and clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6).
    update your os, Java for OS X 2014-001
    then install cs6.

  • Trouble with newly purchased Creative Cloud Team

    I just purchased Creative Cloud Team with 5 seats.  When we go to download the different applications, some only say "TRY".  WHAT IS UP WITH THIS?!?! 
    I get Premiere and After Effects, but Photoshop only has a "TRY" button.  My coworker isn't even seeing Premiere in his options!  What is going on here?!
    Someone, please help.
    Thanks.

    No worries, just follow some extra steps.
    Did you assign seats to your coworkers ?
    You have to log-in with the email and password of the Team manager; probably the one who purchased it - you as well ? Then look for the button to manage your team (assigning seats by inviting probably yourself and other users). Don't forget they all (you included) need to click the Acceptance link in the invitation email they received ! After that, the application buttons will display "Install".

  • Data Migration from External HD to my computer with newly installed HD

    Help, my saga continues. I had to have a new hard drive intalled on my year old IMac 24 inch. Just brought it back from the Apple Store and prior to this, they told me to back up my info onto my external and when the new HD was installed I could simply drag and drop my old into my new. Well, tried to do that today when I got home and no go. I have basically an equivlant of a new computer and can't figure out how to get my old data onto my new HD. I have my email prefs, my Itunes library, all of that on the external. Help!

    Hi Heather - how did you create your backup on your external drive? Did you make a bootable clone (using software such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper) of your old internal drive? If so, then all you need to do is boot from the external drive (hold down option key on startup and chose the external drive as startup disk). Then you can run CCC or SuperDuper again to clone the external back onto the new internal drive.
    If you just drag and dropped your data files to the external drive as backup, then you'll have to first install the operating system on the new internal drive. For that, you need the original installation disks that came with your Mac. Once the system is installed, you can then move your data files back to the internal drive.

  • Crashes when I try to print email with newly installed Epson.

    I installed an Epson NX625 Sunday. Can print from Office (word, etc) and from '''some''' on-line sites but not from some email. For instance, I tried to print the Epson registration form but Foxfire crashed. I get "Mozilla Crash Reporter" form. Some emails I can print. In about:config, I reset the printer defaults at "print.print_printer"; I wonder if I should reset ALL the references to the old printer that are in that section; I hesitate to go too far. I wondered about removing and reinstalling Firefox but I don't want to lose all my bookmarks. I will not be using the old printer again.
    I have not tried to contact Epson because I've read on-line that they will blame Firefox.

    Yeah, there's something screwed up with PSE10 on your machine.
    The only other things to try (and these are just guesses, so take them for what they're worth):
    Uninstall PSE, reboot and re-install.
    Re-set the PSE Preferences by holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys while starting PSE, and answering "Yes" to the prompt to delete the preferences.
    Create a new standard user account in Windows and see if PSE works when you're logged in to that account.

  • Cannot type in previously used forms with newly installed 9.1 reader

    Recently installed upgrade  to 9.1 adobe reader.
    Now the forms previously typed in cannot be filled with letters or numbers. These forms were from state institutions and meant to be filled out and typed with adobe. I successfully used these forms with the previous version of adobe reader.
    The purple band shows at the top indicating the form can be filled.  The I bar shows up and can be placed in the blank spaces but no letter can be typed in the forms.
    Is this the result of failure of the upgrade software ?
    Has any one experienced this problem?
    I have only one installation of th adobe software 9.1 installed.
    In reviewing the help data on line I noted they indicaed a "security setting" under file/ preferences. I dont know what they are talking about?
    Have done the following based on other suggestions .
    Changed the preferences changed the PDF/ A  mode to "never'
    Also now understand the security setting for the document. The document restriction summary show the document to allow "filling  of forms fields" along with printing and content copying . Does not allow document assembly and siging.
    Still unable to fill out the form 
    Message was edited by: visbama

    Was your previous version of Reader earlier than version 9? Adobe abandoned an early version certain technology used to allow people to fill out forms and save them on their own computer. If the forms can be filled out with earlier versions of Windows, then you are stuck. Either the people have to re-enable the forms using newer technology or you need to use an earlier version of Reader. A similar problem creeped up with IRS forms.

  • Problems with newly installed RAM

    Please help!
    At first, my IMac 2008 wouldn't start...  It was showing grey screen and beeping 3 times in a row.  So I ordered new RAMs (4 GB matching pair) instead of my old 1 GB.  After 'playing' with correct positioning for (seemingly) hours nothing was happening at all.  Then I put back the old memory in along with 1 new one in the other slot and the computer finally turned on.  I went to check if IMac recognized the new memory and it did showing 3 GB of it instead of the 1 GB I originally had.  Anyway, it convinced me that the problem is not in the new RAMs I purchased.  To make the long story short: my IMac worked for about 15 min. and froze again.  I had to turn it off manually.  After that I was back to square one.  When I put old memory in - I get grey screen with 3 beeps.  When I put either one or both new RAMs in - nothing happens.  It was my first time swapping the RAMs so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or if it's me at all.  I'd appreciate any help anybody could provide.  Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi artnsus, I will make this simple for you. I bought 16 gigs of ram from OWC. One stick went bad in a matter of a few days. The grey screen and 3 dong sounds is a a bad stick. The other guy is right, Apple computers are very picky about their ram. I ended up with a kernel panic as well. That's was real fun! Let me say that again. That was not fun! So, here is exactly what OWC emailed me and said I should do after I install ram in my Mac,
    Gently clean the memory contacts with a soft pencil eraser and make sure you seat them properly into the slots.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM (should be done any time you alter the ram configuration)
       1.    Shut down the computer (should already be off from install)
       2.    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
       3.    Turn on the computer.
       4.    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
       5.    Hold the keys down until you hear the startup sound ("bong") for the third time.
       6.    Release the keys.
    Let me say this, nowhere in Apple's Instuctions of adding or replacing ram does it say anything like this needs to be done! I don't really get this and to be honest I don't trust buying ram from OWC. Oh, let me also say this. OWC also said that my iMac could take up to 32 gigs of ram while Apple specifies only 16. They say they do testing but they failed my test and honestly I don't see myself doing much business with them again. That's not to say they are to a good company, I just don't think I want to by ram from them again.
