Computer is caching an old version of a webpage - have tried everything!
I would ask Applecare (which I have) about this problem, except that they are only open "business hours"!!!!!!!
I created a new website for my sailing club with a new host. On Monday, I had our old host and registrar point our domain to the new host. 48 hours later everyone but me could see the new website.
96 hours after the repointing, I still see the old site on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I have refreshed, deleted caches and restarted the computer numerous times. Have repaired permissions. Have turned off Open DNS. Have used Onyx to delete all internet cache files. Have spoken to the new host and my ISP and neither says it is their problem. (I have not asked the old host to delete the site from their server.) My ISP says it is not their problem because my iPad, using the same wifi router as my computer, can see the new site.
Why, oh why, can I not see my new website on my computer???
Does anyone have any tips?
Am going a little crazy here!!
You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect queries to certain servers. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
Below that, you may see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature
( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others. -
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inches, i recently upgraded the RAM from Crucial 8gb (4gbx2) to Crucial 16gb (8gbx2). I have done thies before, was er careful, and had antistatic clip, clean work surface, etc. When trying to turn the computer on again, i hear 3 slow beeps, repeated three different times, and the computer does not turn on. I have been looking around for solutions.
I have already swapped the memory modules, cleaned them, dusted the whole computer with air can, put the old ram in and still have the 3 beep problem. It no longer works even with the old ram. The computer was working perfectly fine before this.
Am i missin a step? I saw in a video on youtube that i have to reset the RAM with Alt+P+R+Power button, but nothing happens.
Please help, i am self employed and my Mac Book Pro is the computer i work with!
I have Lion operating system, everything updated very recently. Stock 512 gb hard drive.Thanks for the quick reply Allan, i have reseated the ram 4 times, swapping top and bottom Ram modules, and pushing them in firmly and pressing down evenly with both hands.
I tried to put the old ram in as well in case the New RAM was bad, and that did not work anymore either. I am from Mexico and live in Mexico City, and it is not easy to send the RAM back and get an exchange. I will go to a MAC repair center on monday, but think i am missing some simple step somewhere. As i said this is my work computer and i really need it!
I have reread what i wrote before, to clarify my computer was working fine with the old 8 gigs of ram, i just wanted it to be faster, and bought 16 gb since they are now much cheaper than a few years ago. -
If anyone could help me out with this it would be great!
gotta love goggle. see if this helps.

I have xcode 4.3.2 and iOS simulator Version 5.1 (272.21). But this course is on iOS 6. If I upgrade my iOS from 5.1 to 6.0 then do I have to upgrade my Xcode also? So my question is all my old Xcode project which I have tried with Xcode 4.3.2 will be still there because I do not want to destroy them.
I have a MacBook Pro (Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b). Please let me know about upgrading iOS version so that I will be able to do the class project.To program for iOS 6, you need iOS 6 SDK. You need to download Xcode 4.5.x. But don't worry. All your previous projects are still alive and you are able to open them in the new Xcode.

My iPhone is locked due to setting up a passcode after loading new version 7. I have tried to reset but keep getting turn of "find my iphone". I can't get into the phone to turn this off. What do I do now?
Try this - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - also you can sign into www.icloud.com and remote erase the phone
recovery mode restore as descibed in HT1808 might be your last resort though -

Yosemite made all my photos dissapear
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Do you get any warnings, when iPhoto upgraded the library?
I have tried everything but my library is empty.
What have you tried already?
Where did you store your iPhoto library? On an external drive or your system drive?
iPhoto will create a new, empty library, if it cannot open or find your previous iPhoto library.
If you upgraded from iPhoto '08 or earlier, the iPhoto library needs to be prepared with iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this link: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
If you got error messages during the upgrade of the library, restore your iPhoto Library from your most current backup. -

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!
Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.
