Fiefox will not run, I get proxy server refuses connection.

When I tried to open Firefox this is the what I got. I have removed and reinstalled it with the same result.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

Why do I keep getting proxy server refusing connections - even after I already reset to NONE?

After downloading your new version of Firefox 4, I constantly get the same "proxy server refusing connections" screen. I have gone into options and changed the proxy server to "none" at least 25 times in three days. This is a ridiculous waste of my time! How can this be fixed? or if not, how can I go back to a previous version of Firefox that doesn't have this stupid issue?

Doesn't that 'No proxy' selection stay selected ?

Firefox is giving me a proxy server refusing connection message and my change to no proxy won't stick

I am not finding a solution online that I can understand. Please tell me how what the proxy settings are for Mozilla Firefox's server connection? Firefox is my default web browser and I keep getting messages that say, "Proxy server refusing connection to the internet. Check proxy settings or contact server administrator." I go to the Advanced tab, click on change connection to internet settings, and delete manual proxy information and click on "no proxy." When the window closes and I log back onto the laptop, Mozilla Firefox loads up and I get the same error message again. I don't know how to change the proxy server to no proxy so that it will stay that way and not reset itself to the manual proxy information every time the Mozilla Firefox window reopens. Help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox 3.6 won't load properly because of the error "Proxy server refusing connections".

I tried to download Firefox 3.6 but it wouldn't finish loading because of the message " Proxy server refusing connections". How do I over ride this problem? The last couple of days my firefox 3.5.2 has been crashing or locking up almost every time I opened it. It got so frustrating that I tried downloading 3.6 to see if it would work any better. No luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run Windows 2000 XP.

Go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network --> Settings and choose "Do not use Proxy" to see if that helps.

Proxy server refused connections

Everytime I try to open Firefox and go online, I get the msg "proxy server refused connection". I tried going to options and choosing auto detect proxy and no proxy. They both allow me to go online but when I close Firefox, the settings I did aren't saved and I need to go to options again and change the settings. It's a hassle to go through this all the time. Help pls.

You can try to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s new profile] and see if the problem goes away. i.e. in Windows Start menu > '''Run''' (or press Windows key + '''R'''), type and enter '''firefox -p -no-remote''' > '''Create Profile''', after finishing select the newly created profile, '''Start Firefox''', edit and save the proxy settings and restart in the newly created profile. If the profile is okay, you can later [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy] needed data like bookmarks, passwords etc. from the previous profile to the new profile and delete the previous profile.
If the problem persists, it could be a security software that is trying to transparently proxy Firefox and may also be reverting the Firefox proxy changes. You may have to go into the security software settings and exempt Firefox/[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder or Files].

Proxy Server Refuses Connection

When I connect may laptop which is running OSX 10.4.11 to the internet the connection is fine, plug the same internet connection into my imac the proxy server refuses to connect and I get a different and incorrect IP address. Tried connecting wireless, status on but connection is refused ??????
Any advice welcome

Trying to connect via tablet's tethering hotspot, firefox says proxy server refused connection

Hi there, today I tried to connect my laptop to my tablet using the lattering as tethering hotspot. Laptop connected itself to tablet, signal was excellent, password OK, no apparent problems.
When I try to load the home page I got this answer: connection refused by proxy server.
What shall I do, check or change to make things work?
When a use my internet key or any other wi-fi I don't get the same problem, it only happened today with the tethering hotspot of the Tablet.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me!
Happy new year,
Ira

Hey Ira,
Does your computer use a proxy server to connect to the internet?
1.You can hold your window key and press r at the same time to open a dialog box. 2.in the dialog box type ncpa.cpl and press enter. 3.Your networks will open 4.right click the network named wifi or the network you connect through and select properties. 5.this will again open a dialog. in this dialog scroll and go to internet protocol version4 6.double click on it. do you see obtain an ip address automatically checked or use the following ip checked.
if obtain ip automatically then your connection doesn't use proxy.
now go to firefox>option>advanced>network>setting and see if your connecion is automatic,no proxy etc. If your computer use proxy you can use system proxy or manually configure proxy.
You have two scenarios.
1. When you use internet key or any other wi-fi. Keep the setting as it is. remember in this case "use system proxy settings"
2. Now when you use tethering from your table, you will have to make only a tiny change. Go to firefox setting, dont make any change to windows setting and click on no proxy or automatically detect proxy (1 of the first two). One of them should work for you Either no proxy or automatically detect proxy
hope it helps. :-)

ITunes installs but will not run post install in SERVER 2003

I have MS Server 2003 as my OS. I haven't used iTunes in a long time because I never got it to work on my computer. I downloaded anapod explorer and that has worked well for me, but I really would like to try iTunes again as I have several friends that tell me how wonderful it is.
Anyways, I install iTunes and it goes through the initial setup procedure, then will not actually show up. I see iTunes.exe in my task manager for about 10 seconds then it disappears. No error message, no nothing. I've tried new versions, old versions, standalone quicktime, deleting "ipod/apple" anything out of the registry. I've force-disabled DEP.
I'm a well seasoned windows user, not so much mac stuff, but I've been messing with this for 3+ hours now, and can't seem to get it to run.
Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I don't think your OS is on the list of supported operating systems, but still.
Does your Quicktime work? iTunes can't work without it and the fault seemed to relate to a Quicktime file.
Sometimes installing the stand alone QUicktime works.
First completely remove Quicktime using the method here: it is not for your OS but I expect you can adjust.
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to the system32 folder you can remove any file with Quicktime in the name.
There can also be problems with incompatible codec packs. If you have any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
Uninstall them before installing the stand alone QUicktime.
Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Note that it is not the default option.

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion) will not log into my 1and1 server to connect to my e mail. My snow leopard macbook does not have this problem - Apple support say it is a 1and1 problem! do I have to wait for an update of Mountain Lion?

My new macbook pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.1) will not log into my 1and1 outgoing mail server. ( It will receive mail - but does not send)My old Snow Leopard macbook does not have the same problem ( server settings etc. are identical) . Apple Support say its a 1and1 problem , 1and1 say it is an operating System prob - I have tried changing port numbers.

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

I am having trouble with the updates to firefox. Each time I start it I get a page that says proxy server refusing connections and have to reinstall the old version just to use the internet. That also removes the personas from my browser.

I currently have version 3.0.10 and have gotten two prompts to upgrade my version of firefox and each time I do install the new version and then try to start up Firefox, I get a page instead that says proxy server is refusing connections and the only way to browse is to re-install the old version. I also have to re-install the old version at least 3 times before I can use Personas.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />

After auto update from 3.6.3 to 3.6.13, "proxy server refuses connection". I have to uninstall 3.6.13 and install 3.6.3 in order for it to work again.

I have been very satisfied with Mozilla Firefox until recently. I have Firefox 3.6.3. Every time a box appears with "installing updates" it installs updates then the screen goes to "problem loading page" and "the proxy server is refusing connections". The only way I can get internet access is to go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs" then I have to "uninstall mozilla firefox 3.6.13. Then I click on my "Firefox Setup 3.6.3, and I install that version. Once I do that, everything works fine again. It is such a headache because I can't prevent the "installing updates" from happening and once it happens, it does not work, as described above.
Any thoughts???????
Russ Carlson ''moderator removed email address and cellphone number''

I have this problem also.
Can't bring up the Hotmail screen.
I am looking for a simple way to
get rid of 3.6.13.
I tried restoring to a point
before the Dec 10 upgrade but when system
restored Firefox was still 3.6.13
I guess I will have to abandon MOZILLA FIREFOX
and start using MICROSOFT IE

I am unable to update to the new version, "proxy server refusing connection."

I am running version 3.6.3 right now and I have not been able to do any of the recent updates, because after I go through the download process and launch Firefox I receive the message "proxy server is refusing connections please try again later, and I am unable to get to the internet unless I redo the 3.6.3 setup. Anybody that has the magic answer would be great, since I have to go through this process every day when I get on my laptop...

Hi
I am having this problem and tried to follow your instructions. However, when I got to 'Advanced' I did not see a Network Tab. The closest reference I could find under my 'settings' was 'HTTP1.1 - use HTTP1.1 through Proxy connections' I have the option of 'unclicking' that box. I wasn't sure if that would solve my problem.
Thanks

reposcan.exe -dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsytem -connect u201CUID=xx;PWD=xxxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxxu201D -dbkey xxxxxxx -inputfrsdir u201CC:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Inputu201D -outputfrsdir u201CC:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Outputu201D -outputdir "c:\reposcan logs" -repair true
reposcan pops up for 1 second and closes, no log outputed
I have also tried...
A text file called Reposcan.txt
-dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsytem
-connect u201CUID=xx;PWD=xxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxxxu201D
-dbkey Linfxxxxxxx
-inputfrsdir u201CC:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Inputu201D

none of the above work, any ideas?
I am running with admin privliage
Edited by: davitali on Dec 28, 2011 3:58 PM

Problem solved.
Solution:
1. Create two files, Reposcan.bat and Reposcan.txt
2. In windows 2008 x64, right click on reposcan.bat and select "Run as Administrator"
3. When running the first time, remove the "-repair" option from reposcan.txt. Check the results in the ouput diectory
4. Before inserting the repair option, backup CMS, CMS_Audit tables and also the entire Business Objects Directory
Reposcan.bat
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\reposcan.exe" -optionsfile "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\reposcan.txt"
Reposcan.txt
-dbdriver sqlserverdatabasesubsystem
-connect "UID=xx;PWD=xxxxxx;DSN=xxxxxxxxx"
-dbkey xxxx
-repair
-inputfrsdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Input"
-outputfrsdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\FileStore\Output"
-outputdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\reposcan"
