Firefox is just plain not connecting

Since yesterday, I can not connect. I called Wildblue and they said you would be down for 24 hrs. It has been longer than that. What is going on???

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:
fix for Home button

I have a 5c iPhone and updated to 8.1 yesterday. I now cannot get into Whatsapp - just says 'not connected' or 'connecting'.

I upgraded to 8.1 yesterday. Now Whatsapp does not work. It just says 'not connected or 'connecting', but that is all.
I have tried hoding the sleep and the 'off' button together and waiting until apple icon comes back but it has not helped. I do not want to delete and re-install, as I have chats ahich I want to keep.
Please advise if possible
thanks

I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.

WPSM54G Just will NOT connect wirelessly

I've updated firmware and install wizard software, reset many times trying all sorts of different things and this print server just refuses to connect wirelessly.
I have connected via wire to my router (Actiontec - FIOS) and was able to print through the print server to my printer.
I set the IP address of the print server to static lease in my router settings and set the IP address on the router config page to static.
All tests fine... Until I remove the power and ethernet cord and plug back in to try wirelessly. The SSID is correct the WEP Key is correct, I am infrastructure and auto channel, all is correct.
However, once wireless, the server no longer connects to the router. Install wizard would fail with no connection also.
I have been all over the print server settings and my router settings, nothing at all. I have scoured Google and only dead ends or things I've already tried that didn't work. Anything else maybe?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK, after spending the whole day dinkering around with settings, reading, researching, I finally found what my problem was. Ambiguous Linksys manual!
In it, it clearly said that if one wants to use WEP key, they should select "Shared". Nope, when I selected "Open", that seemed to do the trick. Another things I did, which I don't think had anything to do with it but just in case.....
I disconnected the USB cable from the print server when pluggiong back in the power without the ethernet cable, to fire up the wireless.
Adding printers was funky too, I had to add a local computer, then add a new port and point to the IP address of my print server, select the driver from the list. Like this procedure from http://www.justanswer.com/computer-networking/3rier-wireless-print-server-wpsm54g-not.html
<SNIP>
2. Configure each client computer (Windows).
(1) Control Panel, Printers
(2) Right-click in a blank area of the window.
(3) Choose Run as Administrator, Add a printer.
(4) Add a local printer (not networked).
(5) Create port. Standard TCP/IP port.
(6) Give the address you chose earlier (I used 192.168.1.232). "Query the printer" will probably not work, but there's no harm in leaving it checked.
(7) Assuming the querying failed, choose "Generic Network Card".
(8) From the menu of printers, pick the one you have. Your Done!
</SNIP>
On a Mac, I did this (from Gollum):
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Print-Servers/WPSM54G-and-Macintosh/td-p/68170
I was adding a Brother HL5340D series printer and selected the B-Script3 drivers which worked.
So now everything is working. I'm sort of glad, but I wish I could get my day back :/
I wish cisco-linksys would make better documentation.

Hello!
Welcome to Apple Discussions:
What IP address is your Powerbook getting from the AE?

Firefox and Thunderbird do not connect to the net, and they also hang.. What is the Fix?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020334 /questions/1020334]''
In the blink of an eye, both Thunderbird and Firefox have BOTH STOPPED connecting to the Net. let me share with you what I have done... and what has been unsuccessful this far.
System & Software Pertinents..
Windows 7 x64 System running a i7 Intel CPU, with 8 GB of RAM and a 500 GB Drive.
Thunderbird is Version 24.2
Firefox is Version 27.
Here are the specific things that I have done, POST problem, to try and solve..
A) Check firewall settings... BOTH programs are cleared for Bit Passage
B) Check Anti-Virus.... Anti-Virus Disabled.. UNINSTALLED and Registry Cleaned.. still has the problem persisting..
C) Deleted and Reinstalled Thunderbird & Firefox Working Directories (without deleting User Profiles)... Problem still persisting..
D) Created NEW Profile with Profile Mgr in Firefox.. no go...
E) RAN WHOLE System VIRAL/MALWARE Check... .. No infections..
F) FRESH REINSTALLS of Thunderbird and Firefox... NO go...
G) Checked Processes using ENUM and DNS Checks... both check out fine!
H) OTHER browsers connect... OPERA.. Chrome and IE even... Also, Sea Monkey... but not Firefox.
In TRYING to create an e.mail account, Thunderbird's Account Creation interface sits there attempting to connect... no connection achieved...
Any help that you can offer is appreciated!!
Thank you all, in advance!

Message to Toad-Hall
Thank you, for that. To be sure, I tried your suggestion, and selected "System Proxy" as the choice, for Thunderbird and Firefox. Rebooted, and looked at the outcome.. NO Joy.. :-(
I believe that I shall send the output of the Error Log in my next post. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction after looking at the Error.log.
Thank you...Toad Hall. If you think of something else to try, I am ALL ears.. I shall keep trying..

My iMac start up screen is just spinning not connecting

My imac is not opening- I am getting the startup chime but then just the spinning wheel it is not making the connection to open the system

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

After years of using firefox, it suddenly will not connect to the internet. Internet Explorer connects with no problem.

I'm using a WIFI connection and have had no problem for many months. All of a sudden, I get "Problem loading page"; "Firefox cannot establish a connection with the server". MS Internet Explorer works fine.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My iPad is connected to wifi,but every several minutes later,I just can not connect to webpage,then I have to shut off iPad and turn it on again,and several minutes later the same thing happens again,how can I deal with this?

Why I can not go to webpage even wifi is on?it happens every 6 minutes.......

Is it the same webpage everytime? And is it exactly 6 minutes?
If you have control over the modem and wifi router, i.e. your personal router in your home, I would powercycle your modem and router and see what happens.
1. unplug the wifi router's power cord
2. unplug the modem's power cord
3. wait 10 - 15 seconds (I usually wait about a minute)
4. plug the modem back in and wait for it to stabilize
5. plug the router back in and wait for it to stabilize
6. try to to to the web page again.
And while I am waiting for my modem to start back up and get itself connected to the internet I usually restart my iPad/iPhone. Hold the Home button and the Power button down at the same time, wait for the apple logo to appear and then wait for the device to to a restart. Very much like rebooting your PC.

HT4972 cannot update ipad on windows 7 done everything it just will not connect to update server

the itunes update server could not be contacted .Please check your internet connection or try again later . this is as far as i get and my pc is on internet

Might be a problem with firewall or antivirus.
A way out is to download the new iOS version manually. Then connect the iPad and hold Shift when you click Update. That opens a dialogue to allow you to navigate to the downloaded file
This page has links to Apple's download servers. Make sure you pick the right file for your device. This is how I do all my updates

Firefox 7.0 will not connect to internet - JUNK want it OFF my pc and return to previous version.

Upgraded to Firefox 7.0. Now it won't connect to internet. I am able to start a previous version using "run" command, however, once started both of my email accounts must be logged into. There are some issues with bookmarks also. I need to either fix Firefox 7.0 (piece of JUNK) or remove it and revert to older version. No idea how to do either.
