Can not update tiger and safari does not start

Hi everybody,
I have actually two but probably interrelated problems: First, safari does not start and second, I can not update tiger.
It all started a few days ago on my MacBook (Intel). Somehow, Safari produced an error (I only guess that it was Safari because I was downloading a movie clip) and Tiger was frozen. After rebooting, the whole system had problems (e.g., Safari and Skype were not starting). I tried to reinstall and archive mac os x but with no success. The problems were growing actually even worse (e.g., slow) and at some point in time, Tiger was not even starting. Thus, I did a full new installation of 10.4.8 (delete and install). Afterwards, it worked first but after the automatic software update, the system told me that their was an input/output error (???) during the 10.4.10 update. Afterwards, the whole system had again problems (slow and problems with even booting)!! Thus, the software update made it even worse. So, I did again a full installation (delete and install).
I have to update my 10.4.8 system, because I also have iLife08 that needs at least 10.4.9. However, I don't know what to do to avoid again these update problems??
In addition, despite the full installation, Safari is not starting. Thus, there is still some problems but I have now clue where this comes from as it is newly installed?!
Any ideas?? Thanks...
Crobus

Crobus, welcome, since you are starting from scratch with each re-install why not try Kappy's Extended Hard Drive Preparation.

Do all steps from 1 thru 6, it is by far a more maintenance oriented than an Erase and Install. After the preparation, install OS 10 from your DVD, then download the OS 10.4.10 Combo Updater.

I updated maps and blocked, does not start
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as I can see the problem is caused by the update 2 / 2 anna
must do a hard reset update 1 / 2 and 2 / 2 anna, then go to nokia store and download "ovi maps" and install
reappears update 2 / 2 anna, do not update, otherwise the problem will return.

OS X Lion--Safari does not load pages. Updated OS X Lion and Safari does not function

I updated to OS X Lion and now Safari does not load any pages.

Actually there would be more than two possible reasons, but I appreciate your input. To answer your questions, YES and YES. All other machines and devices in the vicinity als work flawlessly though have not been upgraded (?) to Lion.
After the install of Lion, Safari stopped working. It loads a page OK then with no movement on my part it goes to a grey screen with the indicated message. I force a reload and it may or may not work, then suddenly goes to the same grey screen again. Over and over again. I haven't lost connection, not have I lost DNS connectivity. The program after upgrade has failed and Safari is telling me in a manner which I have never seen before that it cannot load the page, despite the facxt that it has already loaded and then lost on its own. When I boot from a backup Snow Leopard Disk it reverts to a functional system with Safari Ok. I have removed all remnents of Safari and restored with same problem.
Of course, one cannot go back from Lion and Safari 5.1 will not install on Lion so the problem would seem to be uniquely particular to the upgrade as repeated by many others on the net.
I'm open for suggestions but not accepting the possibility of a software glitch is no help.
Thanks again,

After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Upgraded to 2.0.2 and Safari does not display iphone webpages

Hi All,
are you having the same problem? After upgrading to 2.0.2 Safari does not display for iphone formatted webpages in the right format anymore! Any idea what to do to overcome this situation (besides waiting for the next update?)
Best Regards
Christoph

I am not seeing the problem at all.
All the iPhone specific web pages I have tried work fine.
Try a reset.

My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all.

Cannot update software and safari will not load

I keep geting this - Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again.
But i am connected to the internet fine. I have tried for days, as Safari will not load the home page, or any other, it just hans so i thought updating would help.
I have tried moving the plist onto the desktop and tried again but that has not worked.
Running Snow leopard 10.6.7
any help appreciated.

Install each update separately. I got iTunes and Remote Desktop to update, but still cannot get Safari to update. When my Mac is supposed to restart, I just get logged out. Am searching the boards to find an answer….

My FaceTime won't work on my iPod 4th Generation anymore. I don't understand why. A few weeks ago, it worked perfectly fine. Then I had updated it, and it does not let me verify my email.

A few weeks ago, my iPod 4th Generation's FaceTime was working fine. Until, unfortunately, a day or two after I had updated my iPod to the new iOS 5 software, it had stopped working. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, but it is bugging me. I've tried signing in, and it works, but once I get to the page where I must verify or put in an email address so you may FaceTime from, I am sent back to the sign in page. I have tried numerous times to sign in different accountsI have or just use different contact email. But, if I put in ([email protected]) for a sign in, and ([email protected]) for an address it may be called from, I always end up with the popup coming up and saying "Cannot verify because it is already in use. Although, no one knows any of my emails or passwords. I only have one email registered on my brothers iPad, but i try signing out of his and disabling it, so i may use it. But it doesn't work, in the past it did, I could even use an email for 3 iPods and iPads. but not anymore. i don't know what to do. Can i please get help?

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

What to do if wifi keeps disconnecting and safari does not load?

My wifi on my Mac desktop keeps disconnecting. When the internet is connected, Safari often "cannot connect to server" or "safari cannot load page" or page "failed to load". The wifi works on my iPhone and iPad, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work on the desktop. Is there anything simple I can do to fix this? Thank you.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local only
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

Problem with Call Library Function. Want to pass a string and return a string, but my compiler does not recognize "CStr" and Labview does not recognize my "char *function()" callout

Hi, I'm trying to use a .DLL I wrote in Visual C++ .NET. The Call Library Function generates a function prototype of "CStr Parser(CStr arg_raw)"
but my compiler won't accept this. So I change it to how C normally deals with strings "char *Parser(char *arg_raw). Now the Call Librafy Function does not find "Parser" in my .DLL though it is definitely there!
Help!
-Fong

Hello
You will need to include extcode.h in your C file. You can find this under ..\LabVIEW\cintools folder.
The include has all the defines you will need.
