Can't load websites; unable to make changes in Networks

Dear all
I am using a 2.5 yr old MacBook 2Ghz, and have had very few problems during this time. Recently however, I have been unable to connect to the internet. Airport is receiving a full signal but websites fail to load. When looking under System Preferences -> Network, I am unable to make any changes as the following message appears: "Another application has altered your connection settings". I cannot get rid of this message, nor navigate the Network settings and have to Force Quit System Preferences to close it! Could someone pls advise? Any help gratefully received!
Many thanks
Charlie

I am also having this problem, and have been for some time. Look forward to seeing if anyone can answer this. :\

Unable to make changes to your software when executing software in SC

I often got below error when trying to execute software via SC. The package is successfully distributed to my DP and I can confirm that the client machine trying to execute the software is within the managed boundaries configured in the console.
I don't know what else that I need to look at to troubleshoot this. What are the log files to look at? execmgr?

Check the boundaries the client will be in and make sure it's reporting back ok to the 2012 site

I'm trying to update a Muse site and it keeps telling me that the site was created with a different version of Muse. I have updated Muse and still can't access the site to make changes.

Unable to make changes to your software

Hi,
We have an SCCM 2012 client (Vista pc) which was upgraded (SCCM 2007 => 2012 via client push).
We deployed a task sequence with OSD Windows 7. This worked fine untill now.
Suddenly we get the message "Unable to make changes to your software", None of the applications you tried to install began installation succesfully.
There is no smsts.log since the tasksequence didn't even started.
Please advise.

Found the problem. On Vista as well wifi as standard nic are enabled. Although it should not happen, the wifi-address/mac is used to download content. When we added the wifi network as boundary, problem was solved.

Unable to make changes to LAN Settings in IE after Group Policy Preference is applied

Hi all,
I have an IE10 group policy preference on a Server 2008 R2 domain that is pushed out to Windows 7 SP1 x64 clients. This IE10 GPP is used to push out proxy settings etc. The GPP is applied fine, however when I go into LAN Settings in IE and make any
changes such as unchecking "Use a proxy server..." these changes are not saved. As soon as I click OK and go back into LAN Settings it reverts back to the GPP settings. Are IE10 GPP's meant to allow a user to amend settings in IE? The users have
permissions to write to the Connections key under Internet Settings in the registry. If I delete the Connections key (Which includes DefaultConnectionSettings and SavedLegacySettings) I can then make changes to the proxy (Although without the original settings).
I know their are other, and better, methods of controlling proxy settings for users but unfortunately this is the way the customer has it implemented. All defaults for GP is applied such as refresh rate etc. I've tested IE10 on a Server 2012 R2 / Win8 environment
with the exact same GPP settings and I can make changes to the LAN Settings. Is this possibly a bug? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
So by now we could make it work by deleting the Connections key, in order to change the proxy settings of IE 10-Windows 7 in the Windows Server 2008 R2 environment?
Besides, could it be convenient for us to perform some more tests here? How IE 10 of Windows 7 behaves in Server 2012 R2 environment? And Windows 8 in Server 2008 R2?
Best regards

Unable to make changes to a jpg file and then save it without the program trying to change it to a psd [was: What a Pile of Crap!]

Can't even make changes to a jpg file and then save it without the program trying to change it to a psd!!!!! No wonder nobody like Adobe anymore.

Do you mean that PSD comes as a default option or that JPEG is not available no matter what?
Did you add a layer? Did you change the bit depth? Did you add transparency? The JPEG format does not support layers, nor 16-bit images, nor transparency.

Unable to make changes in iCal

I've lost the ability to make changes in iCal. Any change I make is lost when I quit and restart Ical. For example: Added event disappears, deleted task or calender reappears, unpublished calender is again marked as published. All looks fine while iCal is running and is undone when iCal is restarted.
I can make changes in e.g. Mail, I removed tasks from Mail and they stayed removed.
Events added in my iPhone gets added in iCal.
/SJ

I can't seem to find any help for this issue either. I don't have a .mac account btw. but here is what happened to me.
I've been trying to switch over from entourage so I organized my recurring events in ical, including a few calendars, a few subscription calendars and the "show birthday calendars" option. Everything was fine for a week. Then i opened ical and all my tasks and some of my events (but not all) were missing. At this point ical began to NOT save anything i entered. I would enter a test task or event and upon reopening the application the changes were not there.
I searched the internet for help. I found no advice except deleting everything and starting over. This i did last week. I even deleted my plists, library etc... Now when i relaunched, I had empty Home and Work calendars and a "Entourage calendar", which i tried to delete multiple times (syncing was turned off), but I can't seem to permanently remove. It will go away if i delete it, but if i clean up the plists and library again it comes back. maybe this is the way it's suppose to work?? In any case, i finally just unchecked it. This time things seemed to work fine for a day. So i finally turned back on the "birthdays calendar", but i was still leery of subscribing to any other calendars. Things were fine again.
Last night I entered my tasks again. No importing, just directly entering the info into ical. This morning I open i cal and i'm back to where i started. No tasks, missing events, and i can't seem to get any new events or tasks to save. I'm so frustrated! I hope someone can help. Thanks!

Can't load websites hosted on GoDaddy

Updated to Mavericks. Now I can't access websites I built that are hosted via GoDaddy. I can surf the web like crazy, but not these particular sites (and I need to work on them). I also can't send mail from the email account I have set up through one of these sites.
I installed a new Airport Extreme, which is working quite well.
Has anyone had problems like this? If so, how did you resolve them?
I am frustrated.

We were discussing this on IRC. Those addons are installed in the above mentioned firefox:
AVG Safe Search 9.0.0.845 true {3f963a5b-e555-4543-90e2-c3908898db71}
AVG Security Toolbar 4.504.019.002 true avg@igeared
Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.1 true {20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}
I suspect that AVG is somehow at fault here.
PS: The UA string seems to be from the browser used to report the Problem, not Firefox itself.

Administrator's name and password - unable to make changes

I just bought my Macbook about two weeks ago, created a administrator name and password, and it worked just fine. However, for the past couple of days, I'm noticing that I cannot make any changes with Software Updates because when I type in the (CORRECT) name and password, the window says "You must type an administrator's name and password to make changes to Software Update. Please try again." Yes, I've BEEN typing the correct name/password. I've tried resetting the password which works fine, but when it comes to inputting it into a window, my macbook doesn't seem to read what I type in. Does anyone know what is going on here? Please help....

Reply to maurobras.
Seems to me that you have the lost admin problem.One of Leopard'd little ways I have experienced myself. That is the subject of many posts here. Situation (if I am correct in my supposition) is not that you have entered a wrong password, but that what you thought, and what had been till then, was a password of an administrator was not because Leopard had downgraded that user to a non admin.
Look up ' lost administartor' or such in the postings. Put the Leopard install DVD into the machine when booted up.>>>Restart holding down C key. This boots from the install disk. Do not install but look into the menus for the 're set password' option.>>> Choose to re set the root password>>> Write down a good PW for root and write it down.>>>Reset the root password>>>Close the DVD and log in as root with said PW.>>>As root go to System Preferences>>Open the little lock and choose the account that should be an admin>>tick the little box 'allow to administer..'>>>log out of root>>>log in as admin>>open application Directory Utility>> choose to disable root (a safety procedure). You should find now in Sys Prefs that the account IS an admin. Some have found problems getting an option to disable in Directory Utility in that case there is a aTerminal command, disenable root, that works. Make sure of syntax in any Terminal command. Look up man disenable.

Can't load website with .jsp - get blank page? Doesn't happen all the time

When I try to open American Eagle Outfitters website, I get a blank page and it will not open. The site is ending in index.jsp. I have 3 computers and it does it sporatically on all 3. ie. 1 may open the website, 2 won't or 2 might open website and 1 won't or none of the 3 will open. I know this has to be something simple but it has been doing this for about 3 months and it is driving me nuts because I can't get on there to pay my bill or even shop! Help!!
Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem! I've been using the website a lot recently, and then just about a week ago the website just wouldn't load. The page would go white and would say "Done" at the bottom of the screen. I tried googling the website to try and go in through there, and I can only seem to enter the site through "Find a Store Near You". Only this page seems to work, and whenever I click on "Women" or "Clearance" or "WishList" or anything else the page just goes white again and won't load. I've googled "websites won't load" and I've tried all the suggested steps and nothing seems to be working. I order off AE all the time and was ready to place an order, which I now can't do because I can't even sign in to the website.
If you figure out how to fix it, email me at [email protected]

Can the load order of subforms be changed?

I have a form with two subforms. Subform A is a datasheet which has a Form_Current event which is suppose to call a subroutine in the main form, which in turn tries to change a control in Subform B.
However, on startup, Subform B has not loaded and an error occurs ("You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Form/Report").
Is there a way that I can force Subform B to load before Subform A?
b.hata

Not that I know of. Trying to change this default behavior is a recipe for disaster.
You COULD have an error handler in that function that ignores the specific error because not there yet. Or you could re-think the whole thing and perhaps trigger it from the main form.
On rare occasion, and I am reluctant to even mention it, I would tick a 1 msec timer and upon Form_Timer do my thing. This event is pretty much guaranteed to happen AFTER everything is loaded and is settling down.
-Tom. Microsoft Access MVP
I have had situations in the past where things were working fine and then after some changes, I would get errors similar to my current database development problem. Somehow the order of subform loading would change. There must be something in
Access that determines the order in which subforms (and parent form) gets loaded. I can't imagine it should matter to Access what the order would be. I was hoping there was some way I could change it.
re: error handlers... I typically don't like to do much in error handlers. I much prefer to prevent errors from happening in the first place, such as setting an "Initialization Flag" during Form_Open and testing it in "Form_Current".
re: timer... I wouldn't want to use Form_Timer as it is not full proof.

A script can be written showing page I make changes?

I've got a book
I make corrections or changes to certain pages
To print I made changes to pages
When I wrote the text
Which page I made changes
Can be written a script showing

Teetan,
If you know where the changes are the puzzle is resolved.
And the thread is looking for corrected pages in a last session that were not marked and cannot be easily been checked.
What Handifem is not noticing is that comparison is (perhaps) the main tool to find differences between things...
The idea behind using Kasyan's script is NOT exactly checking the detailed changes between two pages in different stages of proofing..
And the happy thing is that this script tells which pages do have changes.
This information is enough to solve the problem.
Another method is comparing (again) two PDF made off with the last two versions.
The result of this test shows fastly in a report which pages changed.
Another one! Export the same last two versions (if they are very similar...) as RTF text and in Word make the comparison.
Fortunately, this word processor is very effective doing this test.

Unable to make changes to Users in WGM

Hi. I'm running server 10.3.9 in school and recently I've run into this problem where I can't edit user accounts. It says that I'm "Authenticated as admin to directory /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/
When I try to create a new user I get this message:
Error of type -14090 on line 1737 of UserAdvancedPluginView.mm
When I try to change a password I get this message:
An unexpected error of type -14090 occurred. All other settings were saved.
When I try and change a user's state (to disable log in) it appears to work, but if I refresh, or leave that record and return to it, the login box is again checked.
This all seems to start when I logged in from home through a VPN (as I often do), selected all users except a couple such as admin, and disabled their accounts. The next day I was able to log back in, enable all the accounts, and it seemed that things were fine. However, I discovered the problem when I tried to change 1 student's login status a couple of days later.
I've tried restarting the server, and have been poking around looking for something unusual--all to no effect. I'd really appreciate any help, any thoughts to try. Thanks!

G4 Quicksilver Server Mac OS X (10.3.9)

David,
The reason I asked about versions was two-fold. 1) To make sure you had the most current for 10.3 server, and 2) To see if you were using 10.4 tools. The latter because there is a problem once you start using 10.4 tools. According to Apple support - once you use 10.4.4 admin tools (including WGM) you can't use v 2.x tools anymore. As for the problem, there seems to be a limit on massive changes. I.E. Making changes to more than say 250 accounts. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't although it appears to. I have over 2000 users and usually update/change in chunks of 200-250. Not sure if this helps.

Unable to make changes or download apps

I am able to login to my admin account but am unable to change settings or download apps. I am using the same password I use to login to my account. This just suddenly happened about a week ago. Any suggestions?

You cannot delete all the accounts. Your computer needs one admin user account to operate properly and any time you install a new program you must offer up a password...even if that password is nothing more than pressing return. Which, I might add, is a really bad idea.
