Clean install MBP problem
With LION now installed last night from DVD, it's now at point to use disc utility.
Trying to erase disc won't let me.
It shows drop down alert ' Zero disc failed'
I'm stuck as to whats next.
Should the drive be Zero erased before loading DVD LION install?
No results come up on anything related to clean install.
or I would n be there.
Thanks,
using iPad for now.
Closed out of Utility let disc unmount and able to restart.
The good part, I now have 121Gb available that was missing.
Earlier, system claimed only 19GB available.
Not sure just where this process took place that fixed that space.
The main issue earlier was seeing very little space left, then removing all videos from iMovie.
After removing large files, the drive never recovered the space.
I suspect there is a hidden iMovie waste basket that cannot be accessed.
So some suggested Omni Sweep, which did nothing but confirm the space I could see in remaining files.
It did not show what was taking up the MYSTERY 113GB hiding.
I had up to date 10.6.8, now 10.6 with fresh install and all files remain intact as before starting process.
Ill try the process over so all files are deleted and disc is ripped clean.

Can I clean-install MBP 17" C2D 2,1 (currently using OS X 10.5.8) with OS X 10.7.4?
I want to clean-install my old MBP 17" 2.1 (9L31a) but i've lost my OS X DVD. I figured that even after a software update it still uses OS X 10.5.8. My questions is now what will happen when i clean-install this old MBP with OS X 10.7.4 (since this is the only IO X i now can download from app store)? or should i better find a way to get the old OS X 10.5.8? i will give the MBP to my dad and he will mainly use it for surfing, emailing and some text-editing, means it doesn't have to be the most advanced sytem, but clean and fast would be good
thanks for your help in advancedYou can call Apple with the Serial# handy, & possibly get the original Install Discs cheap, or...

T500 win 7 clean install wifi problems
Hi there,
I recently did a clean install of windows 7 on my t500 thinkpad. I have downloaded all of the related drivers and installed them.
My problem is that I can not make a connection at all by wire or wireless. The wifi link 5100 does not even show up in the device manager.
Any advice on what I need to do to get this computer running properly again?
thanks!Exactly, once it installs drivers it will detect additional HW and then install more drivers. It may take 2-3+ restart and reboots to fully detect and install all of the drivers.

TIGER clean install (PREVIEW problem)
I did a clean install of TIGER - all fine and ok. I then loaded up MS Office for MAC (like I had before on Panther) , then posted some .pdf files (2) to my Public Folder on my iDisk (for my son to access in Canada) - these were originally WORD docs. (in Panther days) with photos in the text and I`d retrieved them from my external HD where I`d backed them up before the `clean install`, like a good boy. I`d saved them as pdf`s to my desktop then dragged them over the PUBLIC icon - they both loaded in due course (albeit very slowly) - I went to check this morning and clicked on one .pdf file expecting it to open in PREVIEW. All I get is the spinning ball and I can`t even force a quit on PREVIEW either. I even tried to access them the same way on my iBook but the same problem occurs.
I`ve repaired Permissions and Verified too but it "still aint a working" - any ideas?
Plain English please as I`m not IT techy.
Russell (Uk)From Apple:
Currently, the iDisk is online and operational. We have not received large numbers of reports to indicate that there is an issue with connecting and interacting with the remote iDisk in Mac OS X v10.4.3.
We were able to connect to your iDisk Public Folder and upload a 5 MB file to it on a computer running Mac OS X v10.4.3. We were able to delete this file and disconnect as well.
To further test your ability to copy files to the iDisk, please place a file (that you have tried to upload to the iDisk before) in your computer's Shared folder, which is located in /Users/Shared on the main level of your hard disk.
After doing so, please create a new Mac OS X user account and test to see if the error you reported occurs in a new user. Creating a new user in Mac OS X is actually quite an easy process; it will greatly assist in isolating the cause of the issue you reported.
Please completely review the following AppleCare support article for more information about setting up multiple users in Mac OS X:
Adding a new user account to your computer:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html>
Once you have created a new user, log out of your current user and then log in to your new test user account. Enter your .Mac user information in the .Mac System Preferences of the new user and then try to upload a file to your remote iDisk.
After testing in the new user, feel free to log back into your normal user.
Please respond to this email and let us know if the issue occurred in the new user. Also, provide the following information:
1. What is the approximate size of the file you tried to upload?
2. A step-by-step list describing your actions prior to experiencing this issue.
3. What is the exact version of the operating system that is installed on your computer?
4. Please describe your Internet setup, how you connect, and whether you are using any network connectivity devices, such as a router, hub, or wireless base station.

Thats all fine, but it doesn't answer my question. Copying files to the iDisk will CRASH the finder in 10.4.3, forcing me to sometimes having to do a hard reboot when logging out is not possible. I realize the iDisk is a very slow transer process and for this reson it probably won't work for what I need to do, BUT if I do decide to pay 99 bucks to upgrade my trial subscription iwould like to know that apple is working on a fix for this known issue. People who have multiple macs on a network who are running panther on all the computers have no iDisk problems with crashing the finder....put put an Tiger computer on the network and the tiger computer will crash. So is Apple working on a fix to this problem?

Dear Tim,
Thank you for contacting Apple.
Copying files to your iDisk is actually a two-step process. In the first step, the Finder prepares a local cached copy of the file to be sent. In the second step, that file is actually transmitted across the internet to your iDisk. The first step is performed as quickly as your hard drive can copy the file, and accounts for the bulk of the work that the Finder believes it has to do to upload your file. This is why the progress dialog reaches the "5 seconds remaining" mark so quickly - the Finder considers its work nearly finished.
At this point, your upload may appear to stall, especially when sending a large file. However, you're really in step two of the process, and your file is actively being transmitted to your iDisk. In most cases, simply leave the progress dialog alone, and your f -
I am attempting to do a clean install of Lion on my old MacBook Pro (late 2009). The HD was partioned as half OS X Lion and the other half Windows 7. Here is what I have done so far:
1. Deleted the Windows 7 partiton
2. Created a bootable drive with OS X Lion on it
- Download Lion through Mac App Store
- Searched throught the contents to get InstallESD.dmg
- Used disk utility to create a bootable drive
3. Plug the thumb drive into my mac
4. Restart while holding down "option"
5. I get a screen that looks like this:
6. I click on "Mac OS X" (orange one) which is my thumb drive
7. It goes to the normal mac startup gray screen with apple logo and activity monitor spinning.
Here's where it gets weird.
8. After about 3-4 minutes I get a screen that looks like this and it just hangs there:
I thought at first that maybe I messed up creating the boot drive so I wen't back and tried it again and the same thing. I read a few articles that said to try and use Lion Disk Maker to create a boot drive so I tried that as well. Same thing happens.
Any help would be much appreciated!You are making it more difficult than it need be:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I erased my HD and did a clean install of Leopard to speed up my system.
After the install I did a software update and while restarting a window popped up that said something about Boot Cache. It seemed like it was taking a long time, so I left it overnight.
The computer was up this morning, so I started to install applications. I then did another software update..
I just installed iLife 08 and hit restart. Now the computer seems to be hanging at the part where the little circular dots are supposed to show up at the bottom middle of the screen.
The reason I did a clean install is because one of the issues I was having is that the computer took FOREVER to restart. A clean install doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.......? That doesn't seem right.
I am on a G5 Quad. There is nothing on my system except 10.5, Final Cut Studio 2, and iLife....motherwell wrote:

A clean install would mean that you did not import any previous files or settings but after a full erase you installed Leopard with all new settings and programs manually.
If you imported any old files or settings, you dirtied your install, possibly with whatever caused your original problem.
It is always better to solve or fix an issue rather than to start over again, because sometimes the problem is obvious.
If after a true clean install a problem recurs, then your hardware is at fault - RAM, HD, some driver, board or something like that. Again, it's always better to diagnose a problem and find out what is/was causing it. -
Clean install of Lion in Recovery Mode - Easy?
I've been looking at different ways of getting a clean install of Lion on a machine that:
Has Lion already installed
Can boot into Recovery Mode
Is there a problem with the following, simple procedure:
Boot into Recovery Mode with the usual cmd+R; connect to WiFi.
Open Disk Utilities and erase/reformat the 'main' Partition on the Hard Disk
Once a new, fresh partition has been created, get back into the main Lion Recovery dashboard
Choose the Install Lion option pointed at the fresh partition.
Can someone confirm, please, that this should work, and that I won't be left with an empty partition on which Lion will refuse to re-install....?!
thanks
mark
PS If this makes a difference, I'm likely to need to do this on an iMac that was purchased with Snow Leopard, then updated to Lion in the usual App Store way; it's been reinstalled via Lion Recovery but not a clean install; the problems it has still persisted and I think it's time for a clean slateIt isn't, and its potentially problem-causing unless you know you've had one good, trouble-free install from that .dmg.
I went that route the first time I downloaded Lion, had troubles with my first install and continued having troubles with every install afterward made from my USB installer. The light finally went on in my head that it was the original .dmg that I'd downloaded and saved to USB that was corrupt.
Another point is that even if you have no problems with that .dmg, you'll be stuck with that version of Lion everytime and have to do laborious software updates. If you download directly you get whatever version is currently in the App store (10.7.4 right now).
The only advantages I can see of doing it Cattus' way is if you either have a cap on your available downloads per month or a slow connection. Otherwise, not worth it, IMHO. -
I want to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp. I need to know what disk to use and also how i take certain files off my external hard drive and put on my computer. When I was having problems with my airport they did a clean install and they pulled files of my time machine. however they forgot to put the partition back in for a windows side. Originally I had Parellels on my computer. After my external hard drive got corrupted i called apple and they fixed the problem but didn't have me set up the time machine except for the external hard drive. Now my only back up is from the external not from the laptop. I am not sure how to do any of this. I am not computer savvy...PLEASE I NEED HELP>
First, you need to make a backup of your MBP onto your external drive. I suggest you start by cloning your MBP drive to the external drive:
Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
button.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
This clone is fully bootable and also contains a clone of your Recovery HD.
Second, you need to do a clean install of OS X onto your MBP as follows:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should accomplish your goals. You will have a clean install of OS X on your MBP and a bootable clone of your old system and all your files on the external drive. -
Problem running third party apps in clean installed mavericks HELP....Consol code knowledge needed!
Yo Guys
I've had some kernel problems with my mid2010 MBP, problems booting, crashes etc. so decided to make a clean install of mavericks, first through the recovery partion, later at the genius bar (they coudnt help me and blamed my toshiba HD (not generic mac) allthough i strongly doubt its the HD since it has passed every test.
still i've no thirdparty apps installed, so when after the clean install i tried to install spotify, it hangs(keeps bouncing in dock), same goes for transmission. This happens the same before and after my clean install, but didnt two weeks ago...WEIRD!
What makes it all weirder is that the spotify install will run and install in safe boot, but it doesnt in normal mode.....
I can add a etrecheck but since its only a mevericks install you guys could guess the results, everything tests perfect......Its like i've MBP with a burnout, no doctor or app or diagnositc can find any flaw, geniusses arent so genius when behind my laptop, but it behaves very ill.....all&all its just super weird.
I hope some of you guys are able to read the code in consol, and maybe shine a light on whats wrong. I see some problem occuring the Kernel mach and libsystem_kernel.dylib) and (libsystem_pthread.dylib) still i've no idea how to fix or what it means...
this is the log of transmission, which usually just runs inside its app.

Can't clean install Yosemite to 3rd party SSD in 2008 MBP
Hi all.
I'm a longtime lurker, first time poster. I seem to have really stymied myself with trying to upgrade my ol' reliable MBP.
My machine:
Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM (3rd party Crucial, 2 matching 2GB sticks - it originally shipped with 2 1GB sticks, I upgraded it around 2 years ago)
120GB SSD (3rd party OCZ Agility III, it originally shipped with a 500GB Hitachi HDD - I've just installed this and am trying to use it)
No optical drive (it broke years ago)
Here is what I've done so far:
Removed the 500GB HDD and inserted the 120GB SSD
Created a bootable USB stick with the Yosemite installer on it
Booted from said USB stick and used Disk Utility to format the SSD with a GUID partition table, with 1 HFS+ (Journaled) formatted partition
Begun the Yosemite installer
The progress bar crawled for about 3 hours until it got about halfway, then it failed out with an error. Unfortunately I stupidly don't have a copy of the error logs
Booted from the USB stick again
Now the SSD does not show up at all in Disk Utility and I am not given the option of it when attempting to install Yosemite - so I can't reformat the drive or attempt another install
I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test (to see if there are any problems with the RAM that might have triggered the error installing Yosemite), but unfortunately this does not seem possible on my machine. Since it is a late 2008 model with no optical drive, from the research I've done there seems to be no way I can run it. It can't do an Internet Hardware Test, and the 'trick' of holding F2 during bootup won't work because apparently you need to have the original shipping OS installed. From memory this machine shipped with Leopard - the OS on my old 500GB HDD is Snow Leopard however.
Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do next here? My goal is simply to do a clean install of Yosemite onto my SSD. I'm at a bit of a loss, especially since the SSD isn't even showing up in Disk Utility now.
An additional detail: There isn't anything in the slot where the optical drive should be. 2 years ago I opened my machine and removed it, replacing it with a 2.5" 'optibay' drive caddy. Unfortunately it was a pretty cheap caddy and it never functioned properly, so I removed it before beginning the above process. There is just an empty space now inside the machine, since I threw away my old broken optical drive years ago. I don't know if this may also be causing problems.
Many thanks for any and all assistance!Thanks for responding Leopardus.
I tried holding Cmd+R at startup last night, but unfortunately all I got is a flashing folder with a question mark on it, presumably indicating that it can't find any files.
Internet Recovery is unfortunately not possible on my computer, I believe this feature was only included with Macs that shipped with Lion or later versions of OS X (mine shipped with Leopard).
The problem in the thread that you linked seems a bit different to mine - I think the core issue for me is that the SSD is now not recognised at all by Disk Utility, meaning I cannot even format it to try installing again.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can access this 'invisible' SSD? I am considering buying a USB to SATA cable and connecting it to a friend's Mac. -
MBP 2012 still slow after clean install of Yosemite
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me, I've done just about everything I can find online to get my MBP to work like it used to. After unsuccessful attempts at different workarounds, I decided to wipe everything perform a clean install of Yosemite.
Still no luck!! #nobueno
Problem description:
After clean install of Yosemite, my MacBook Pro (2012) continues to run at a snailspace. Very slow!

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
Feb 18, 2015, 10:03:37 AM Self test - passed
Feb 18, 2015, 09:55:07 AM /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/mbpluginhost_2015-02-18-095507_[redacted].crash1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec

The test results are on the Clipboard.

The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks
paulThis isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'. -
I can connect with my banking websites but the login page will not come up. This is a recent occurrence and I have done virus scans and have also recently done a clean instal of Windows 7. The problem persists. I can connect to any other website with no problems. When I close FF it appears to close and Task manager shows as not running but it will not reopen. If I attempt to uninstall I am told that FF is running and needs to be closed. I have to reboot to get to close and be able to reopen.
I can connect to the bank sites with IE. However I really don't like IE.
I am using Win7 Professional on a Sony notebook VGN SZ55I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions? -
Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
Thanks in advance for your advice.If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).
