How can I clear the DNS cache?

I haven't been able to connect to my local Library since January.  When I key in the URL, it starts the access routine and then after about 20 minutes, I have to kill it because nothing happens.  I contacted the IT folks at the library and was told that they had made a few changes around the time my problem began so maybe the DNS cache was still pointing at the old info.  He recommended that I enter TERMINAL mode and try to clear the DNS cache, using  "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" command.   .  I attempted this several times, even changing my applid password, and kept getting invalid responses.

I did try that and after a few trys it finally worked.  It took quite awhile for the window for the library to finally come up, but it did and I am now able to get in and out with no problems with my library access.  Now when I call up my bank, parts of it don't come up and it kicks me out.  Now, I'll have to search for what fixes that - as it has happened before, so I know it's fixable.  Thanks for you help though.

  • How can I clear the Safari cache without removing cookies?

    Safari preferences seem to only allow you to delete all website data. Is there a way of clearing the cache but leaving cookies and browsing history?
    I have Safari version 6.0.5 and OSX 10.8.4. Thanks.

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

  • How can I clear the clipboard?

    Hi.
    I'm working with images, I do different operations with image, after that I'm saving it (the path is the same), and I want to see the new image.
    The problem is that when I create new object the path remain the same, and because of that Java uses clipboard and shows the old image and not the updated.
    So, how can I clear the clipboard?

    Maybe it isn't clipboard but cache?
    so,how can I clear cache?

  • I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night.  You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
    Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".  
    After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
    - hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected". 
    Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content.  Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it. 
    Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
    If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

  • How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

    As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
    After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

    The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
    Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work though.

  • How can i change the DNS Name of a 10.6 Server

    Hello when i installed the Server i made a mistake and put in a wrong dns name wich is not reachable from the clients. How can i Chane the DNS Name?

    The core command is changeip, and Google will find some details and discussions.
    $ man changeip
    $ changeip {-v} {-d path} directory-node old-ip new-ip {old-hostname new-hostname}
    It's not always successful; the host name tends to get embedded everywhere.
    For the official documentation on this, see the [Advanced Server Management Manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf] for a discussion of what (else) needs to happen when the IP settings change; see the +Understanding Changes to the Server IP Address or Network Identity+ section.

  • How can I clear the "Purchased" apps?

    How can I clear the "Purchased" apps list from the "Not on This Iphone" list of the Updates section of the App Store on my Iphone 4?
    There is no clear function.  If I Erase All Content and Settings in General Settings will that do it?  It'd be nice not to have to do that and erase all my data and media.

    Nick, you had the right idea.  Success!  I changed my email address on my Apple ID.  Then went to my Iphone and under Settings, iTunes & App Stores, press on AppleID: (I.D.inserted), Sign Out, Create New Apple ID.  Used the original Apple ID email address to create a "new" Apple ID, going through the whole set up process again, including billing info.  Then, when opening the App Store app there are no Purchased apps to display, because there are none on this "new" account.  The old account still exists in Apple cyberspace, but it is not tied to my iPhone or iTunes anymore.  There does not appear to be any way to delete an Apple ID.  Maybe after a few centuries Apple will discard it.  Maybe not.

    It's not an option in the prefs. It's a hidden file that makes up part of the preference set (as far as I know, most, or all of the seetings you can adjust inside ID's prefences dialog are actually saved in the other half of the set, InDesign Defaults). For more information, see Replace Your Preferences
