Can't access any bbc pages or iplayer on imac
All of a sudden i can't access any bbc websites or iplayer on my imac (os 10.6.8) although I can on my macbookpro and iphone both using the same BT wireless router. Other than the BBC I can access all other websites.
I've attempted the following to fixit - (all to no avail):
1. cleared browser cache
2. reset router
3. reset both Firefox and Safari to default
4. contacted BT tech help who advised me to contact either apple, the bbc or their own broadband tech experts (for £10 a month even though they were not sure they could help either)
5. added open DNS server numbers ( i currently have the following 195.95.16.109 142.54.177.158 192.168.1.254 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220)
6. tried bbc.com
Any ideas or solutions much appreciated!

For the record, I am in the US & not having problem using the BBC website. Problem may be European? Noticed the OP who started this post & yourself reside outside the US.

Safari can not access any secure (HTTPS) web pages
Does anyone have an idea why a good frined of mine using Safari 1.3.2 on a Power Book G4 with Mac OS 10.3.9 can not access any secure web pages (those that start with HTTPS)? I can not find any preferences that might control this. She can access the pages with IE but not Safari. What setting on her computer might control this? Any ideas would be appreciated. I even through away (com.apple.Safari.plist) file. Not change. An ideas??
I have the same problem! However, this is ONLY while running wireless internet. Anytime I want to use an HTTPS site, I have to plug directly into my router, so I'm not wireless anymore, and then it works fine. Every now and then (like maybe 5% of the time), I get lucky and it will work for a short while such as logging into yahoo mail for example (logging into here didn't work at first but after waiting a bit, i was able to log in), but trying to stay on a secure connection such as a bank accnt. is impossible.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Everyone I've asked says they've never had the problem. I thought I was the only one.
I checked my proxy settings -- nothing is checked. I've tried deleting preferences and I reset safari often. -

In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What to do?
I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years.
I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed. Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services. It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install. The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes. This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows. However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back. I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable. -
Hi, I've installed teaming 2.1 on a sles11 x64 virtual machine. I've used sun java jdk 1.6.21. After install I start the teaming server but then can't access the web page (I've used port 8080 in the URL). I used default network settings. I believe the mysql database has been created correctly. I think the problem is with Tomcat/java. I've included the output of tail --f catalina.out
/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin/catalina.sh: line 309: /usr/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory
Error occurred during initialization of VM

the path shown in the first line of this output is not what I specified for java during the installation of teaming (I used /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21). Any help would be greatly appreciated
LouHi Lou,
Have you set an environment var for the JAVA_HOME?
you can set it system wide, create or edit /etc/profile.local, and add:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
Then reboot the system so the env var gets set globally.
If the site is still not accessible, rerun the Teaming install choosing to reconfigure, double check the JAVA_HOME path set and see if that does the trick.
Cheers,

Daniel or anyone else, Help on why I can't access certain jsp pages
I have installed the Web Service Portlet Wizard to build my portlets. In particular,
I have created a URL porlet jsp which receives its content from a URL.
This URL that I retrive is an application that I have running on my Weblogic 6.1
Server. I can access the login page, and can logon and do a few things but for
some reason I Can't access certain pages. The pages I can't access are also jsp
pages on the wlserver6.1 server(exactly the same as other ones I can access and
interact with).
The error I receive on the Portal Front end is attached in a word doc. I have
also included in there, a snapshot of the access log for those pages, but I can't
really make out what it is telling me (if anything!).
For one of the pages, that I can't successfully access I get java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
This only happens with 1 of the pages. But trying to access the same page withouth
going thru the portal I get NO errors what so ever.
Please if anyone can give me any information on why I can't access certain pages
via my portal It would be very helpful.
Finally I have included the code of my Portlet which accesses the URL. This is
also included in the word doc.
Thanks
Ramy
[Portal.doc]Ramy,
I don't know the Web Service Portlet Wizard too well, but I notice that
login.htm never seems to be found (404 in logs). I would think that the two
warnings below your JSP call (cookies, and portlet state) are your most
likely culprits. If the Web Service Portlet Wizard does not handle cookies
then the portal server will have to continiously reauthenticate. I will
forward your email however and see if I can dig up a better diagnosis. Also,
could you post the stack trace for the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException you
are seeing.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Can only access certain man pages with sudo
I can only access certain man pages with sudo. They aren't accessible as either root or normal user. I can't be a 100% sure but it would appear that the man pages I have problems with are those located in /usr/share/man. I can't see any differences in file or directory permissions with those located in /usr/man. Anyone else having this problem. Or have I commited another noobish mistake.
man pacman is an example.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.the filesystem and bash packages need to be updated after the pacman 3.1 release

Just updated to 8 & now I can not open any web pages as well as firefox will not close out, it still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?
See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

Can connect to WLAN, but can't access any web site...
I have a Nokia E61 that I have configured to access my wirless home network (Linksys). I use personal WPA security, and my SSID is hidden. I loaded the proper settings into an access point setting and when I go to Web, the phone shows that it connects to my Linksys router, but the web page never loads. I eventually get a time out error. If I connect to the same website using GPRS, it loads without any problem.
Any ideas?Thanks for the reply!
I have looked at my RV082's firewall setup, but don't see anything out of the ordinary. I even disabled the firewall, but it didn't seem to make any difference. What did you have in mind that I should check?
I get the following error on the E61 when I try to access an Internet website: "Web: Connection Time Out". It takes about a minute or two for the E61 to generate that error.
Regarding the RV082's ability to assign devices to the right subnet, I have three other PCs on my network (2x Windows XP, 1x Windows 98SE), and they have always connected the first time and every time with no issue. How would I check which subnet the RV082 is assigning to the phone? On a PC, I usually do an "ipconfig /all" at the command line and see what's assigned. Is there an equivalent command for the E61 that I could enter while I'm connected?
If I remove the RV082 and plug my WAP54G directly into my cable modem, then my E61 can access the Internet. So it's definitely an incompatiblity with the settings in the RV082 and the E61. But before I/we blame the RV082, I have more or less the same problem at my employer's office: I can connect to the office network, but can't access any sites outside the company network. The only difference is the E61's error message: at work I get a "no gateway response" error within a few seconds. It's a company with around 200 employees at that site, and we're certainly not using an RV082 in the office. I have not tried to call Linksys support yet because in fairness to them, they won't know jack s*** about the E61 and how to configure/check the settings.
Is there something about the DNS settings in the E61 that I'm setting incorrectly? I have them set to Automatic in both IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which is how my PCs are setup at home and what my IT guy at work tells me should be OK.
Thanks in advance for any more advice!
BTW, I'm no big fan of Linkys either, but I've had zero problems with my Linksys products. Also, when I have had to contact Linksys for help with a setup, they have always eventually come through and solved the problem. I've tried contacting Nokia and can't even get a live person that can do anything (the E61 isn't supported by Nokia USA, and the UK phone number they gave me was just a recording). If anything, I'm ready to hurl my E61 through the window right now as I've spent way too many hours trying to get this thing to work.

Hi all, I've been on BT Infinity for a month or so now and have been experiencing the same issue with one of my PCs. It connects to the HomeHub via Ethernet and runs Windows XP SP2. I can RD into it fine and FTP works too, as does HTTP! However, I can't access any websites at all. No other device connected through wireless has this issue. Initially I was using a static IP address because of port forwarding but the HH uses MAC addresses so I reverted back to DHCP. That aside, I've tried alternative DNS servers, flushdns and winsock resets and tools. These work for a few minutes then all of a sudden the websits stop appearing again! I'm very frustrated and would really appreciate some help as the BT Support team can't understand what I am saying!
Many thanks!HedKandiMan wrote:

You have to add the DWORD MaxNegativeCacheTtl yourself, and give it a value of about 5.
If you read the article its says that none of the DWORDs normally exist.

Safari can't load any web pages
I just installed Safari on a WinXP Pro machine and it shows a Can't Open Web Page error when trying to access any web page, while FireFox and IE function without problem. There are no proxies; local firewall is disabled; tried re-installing and clearing App Data. Safari loads file:// pages OK, so it appears to be something in the network access. (Not a DNS issue since I tried loading by IP address as well.)
Any ideas?I am using 4.42 version of safari.i did not get any message the thing is that when i enter my user name an password it just refresh the login page.

Can not open any web page in Safari
can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad. All other wireless features work fine.
If this does not work then try a reset ,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back. -

So, I've got several thousand photos, and a decent amount of videos of my daughter, along with a lot of stuff for work stored on my Time Capsule, and now I can't access any of it. I did a fresh install of Mavericks on my MacBook Pro last week sometime, and haven't been able to figure out how to get my files back. Please Help!!! My daughter is 2 and a half, and every picture/video I have of her is locked on this thing. I was planning on making some photo/video projects fo my wife for Christmas, and now I'm definitely not going to be able to pull it off. Her birthday is at the end of January, though, so if I could have it by then, that would rule!
Basically, the bar on the right of the screen has some gray dates, which I can access (all backups after the Mavericks install), and purple dates that go all the way back to March (when I originally purchased and began using the TC) which deny me access/viewing. It's possible that I created a slightly different user name when I reset my MacBook, which I guess is most likely the cause, but I have no idea what to do now to correct it. Thanks for taking the time!Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want. -
