Can't access ANY HTTPS sites, and problem affects only one user acct !

My new iMac (arrived yesterday) is driving me nuts, getting me sick. Countless problems ... def. not the experience I was hoping for ... (I'm not a new mac user, own a macbook for 3 years now).
The last one is that my account, for some unknown reason and all of a sudden (was perfect before), stopped working with ANY HTTPS connection ... banks, whatever ... anything that involves a secure protocol is out. I can't even login to my iTunes store. The message is that it can't estabilish a secure connection to the server. (Oh, the iTunes reports unknown error, wich took me 2 hours to find out that it wasn't iTunes fault, but the whole system was not working with HTTPS).
I already tried reparing the disk permission, verifying the disk (no errors found), AND reparing the keychain using the keychain aid. Oh, I also reseted Safari ...
The weirdest part of it all is that another account I had set up on the iMac works just fine. JUST FINE. And my main account is hopeless.
Does ANYONE have any clue on this ?
(btw my new iMac just screwed my iPhone on the first sync ... it was supposed to go smooth since it was set up using a time machine backup from the macbook .. but no, it erased half of my apps in the iphone, including my task managing apps with LOTS of scheduled to dos ... this is ridiculous).

I am trying to access an https site and am getting a "This connection is untrusted" message. I am willing to bypass, but when I click the Add Exception button and then try to click the Confirm Security Exception button, nothing happens.

unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

Can LabVIEW access an HTTPS site behind a proxy?

I have been trying to use LabVIEW to access an https site through our corporate firewall/proxy and have been unable to get it to work. Does anyone have any experience with this and or know whether this should be able to be done?
I have successfully been able to get LV to access websites (http and https) without going through a firewall and thanks to posts on these forums figured out how to access an http site through the firewall but have come up blank when trying any https sites. Below are some test cases I have tried. All of these sites are easily accessed via browsers so it isn't due to firewall/proxy iblocking.
Any help would be appreciated,
-- Harold
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I suspect the SSL handshake failing is getting close to the source of the problem.
We have the same proxy port (8080) for both http and https as far as I can tell. I have used wireshark to monitor the message flow and LV is doing something quite different than my browser does.
The browser opens a connection to the proxy (on port 8080) and then issues a CONNECT command to the proxy to access the ultimate location and then does a SSL handshake.
LabVIEW opens a connection to the proxy but then appears to be encrypting it immediately without a SSL handsake that I can see.
My speculation is that the underlying LabVIEW code is not really proxy aware and doesn't know how to issue a CONNECT command or equivalent. I'd be glad to be proven wrong with someone demonstrating this works for them (I've posted a sample VI in a previous post).
I can also post the wireshark message info if it would help anyone troubleshoot what is going on.

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.

Cannot access any https sites, clock is OK, get This Connection is Untrusted error message.

All works OK on Chrome and IE, but Firefox just suddenly stopped access to https sites yesterday, e.g. Google, Facebook and Linkedin. Non secure http sites are OK though. "This Connection is Untrusted" is the error message and technical details are www.google.com.tw uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried all the Mozilla support suggestions, clock (which was always correct), reset Firefox, etc. No change so far, I hope you can help fix this issue.

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section. If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

I bought my ipad mini in the UK and it worked fine, I live in Cyprus and since being back i can not access any web sites

My web browser( Google ) home page appears but when i type in the web address it does not access them it just constantly appears to be loading.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

there are a lot of complaints here about wifi issues with the ipad mini - all seam to deal with 3rd party routers. you might want to check these Threads out.
did you delete the wifi network on your ipad and reconnect? Are you using WPA2? Did you select TKIP/AES or only one of them? Does your ipad get an ip address?

Can't Access Secure (HTTPS) Sites On One Account, FF or Safari???

Hello Mac Fans
First let me say I'm new to Mac. On one account I can't access secures sites like I can in the admin account. This may be a function of rights but am not sure? All updates have been done.
I can't login to this forum, my MobileMe account or my bank for example. I had to change to my other account or gasp, use a PC to post this message.
I installed FireFox trying to isolate the problem to Safari but that didn't pan out, I can't get to HTTPS pages in FF either.
I turned off Little Snitch thinking I might have denied something by mistake but that didn't help. I checked the rules and found nothing that wasn't allowed.
Nothing was changed in the router. I just turned on Mac and it worked. The iMac is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
I've used the search function and tried a few things that have been recommended for others but they didn't help me. I went to the keychain and did a repair, although it didn't find any problem. I over rode a couple keys to always allow them (Apple site stuff) and I ran the disk utility to no avail.
For reference I will post the information for both Safari and FF.
Safari:
Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?
appIdKey=2ddbca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/index .jspa” because Safari can’t

Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mln'sbank.com/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server

rl=” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “auth.apple.com”.
FireFox:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to support.apple.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* 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.
I've done a lot of snooping around on this forum and have ran out of ideas so now I must ask for help.
Thanks

I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-2005tx Entertainment Notebook PC) can't read any cd/dvd's when i put them in the drive and also my LHS shift key does not work while pressing it for writing/using capital letters. please help me at the earliest.

Quote from: eftos
In control panel the Primary Ide chanel (the hard-disk) is working in UDMA mode 6, and the secondary Ide chanel (the DVDRW) is working in UDMA mode 4.
When i want to burn any CD or DVD with Nero, Roxio or anything else, i have this nice message :
DMA driver error. CRC error. Burn failled.
Solved !
I change the IDE cable with one of 80 wires.
This is MAGIC !!!
The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s.
The cable is considered "optional" for those modes.
However, for any Ultra DMA modes above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory.

Site looks different for only one user

I just updated our Intranet for the service reps. The site
uses the Spry Vertical Menu on the left hand side. I have one user
who has the entire left hand side cut off which is where the
vertical menu is, so she's not able to navigate around. I checked 6
other users and they're all fine. I tried refreshing her page,
deleting temps, deleting cookies. All individuals are using
IE/windows xp. Is there something else I can try to get this to
work for her.
Thanks

Or worse yet, is she using IE8 BETA?!

When opening a second window, homepage doesn't open and can't access any other site, stays a blank white screen.

After updating to Firefox 6, every time I open a second window, all I get is a blank, white page. My homepage doesn't open, either, even when I hit the home button. I have to manually type in my homepage address, and then, it's the only address that will show in the address bar, even after I leave the page or open any other tabs. The same thing happens when I open new tabs in the second window. Also, the back and forward arrows, stop, and refresh buttons do not work in the second window. None of the short-cut keys on the keyboard will work with in the second window, either. Most of the time, any page that I go to, in the second window, continues to load, never fully loading.
I even went back to Firefox 5 to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I still have the same issues.
Everything appears to be working fine in the first window.
How can I clear all this up?
EDIT: I waited a few days and reinstalled Firefox 6.0 and everything seems to be working okay.

There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash. The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
I don't know whether opening a Flash site in a private window makes this problem occur more frequently. Maybe it does because the new window is more isolated from the previous one???

Installation of Firefox caused FiddlerRoot to be installed and I cannot access any https sites now through ANY borwser. Changes my proxy consistently.

FiddlerRoot not only does not allow https certificates, but also resets my proxy after I set it back. This is consistent and i have worked through all the know "solutions". This is a ridiculous piece of code and has severely limited my internet capabilities.

hello, no genuine firefox download from mozilla.org contains fiddlerroot - you might have downloaded adware from a rogue site.
please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

Unable to go any https site using FF and safari. Mac OS 10.6.7. Https sites are not displayed at all.

I was able to do all https sites before. Recently I have notied that whenever I go to any https site , the site is not displayed at all.
FF 4.0.1 and safari
e.g. go to www.skype.com and click on login link
can't login to FB
Can't display https://mail.yahoo.com
funny thing is I can't even go to http://www.apple.com
I get blank page and the browser keeps spinning.
Cleared all cache.
Pl. help.
thank you so much for your help.

Those sites display correctly provided they supply HTTPS. Which Yahoo does (HTTPS) and Apple doesn't on their main page (it's HTTP), but the forums here are HTTPS.
Go to your KeyChain Access.
Under Preferences > Certificates set the following
1: Best Attempt
2: Best Attempt
3: OCSP
Reboot the machine.
When you request a secure site it will check the certificates immediately instead of using Apple's outdated lists which require Apple to include them in a Software Update.
If someone is using these outdates certificates maliciously then that's likely the problem.
Also install the HTTPS Everywhere Add-on for Firefox, to ask websites to provide HTTPS. They always can't do it because of third party unencrypted content.
Also when that's finished. Run all the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot (you can cancel reboots in between jobs)
Does a good job of cleaning out gremlins.
