  • Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work on some computers, but Manual proxy can work

    It seems that the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL doesn't work, I use the command netstat -a, can't see the connection to proxy server, but manual proxy is ok, and I tested on some others computers, most of these computers can work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
    For the computer can't work normally with Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, I did below actions
    1.Clear the cache
    2.update the version of firefox
    3.reinstall the firefox
    4.use the safemode to run firefox
    but unfortunately, still doesn't work.
    Can some dear friends give me a big favor for this? Thanks a million in advance!

    I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

  • How do I get my iPad to sync videos with my mac?

    I recently purchased all 7 of the Harry Potter films off iTunes as a bundle package. I had purched these items on my iPad. All the films have wirelessly synced with all my devices, my phone and my partners phone, so they are all curently working on all devices. I somehow cant seem to get them onto my Mac though. Its so frustrating I've sat down for some time on numerous occasions trying to sort it out. One of the films had symced to my mac, the first Harry Potter film. It is really frustrating, if one film can sync with my mac, why cant they all? Also my phone or iPad doesnt even recognise that all these films are on it.
    Things Ive tried:
    -I thought first of all maybe I havent got enough memory on my device, so I wiped nearly everything off my phone, no pics hardly any apps. Still no luck.
    -I wondered if it was an iCloud problem, I havent payed for extra usage so ive only got 5GB , I was deleting backups and all sorts, but still no luck.
    -pressed that cloud looking thing and seen if it went to my mac and it downloaded on my phone but not onto the mac.
    -I wondered if it needed to be watched to do it and its not that.
    We have ended up watching the films on the iPad but it would be nice if we could watch them on a larger screen, have you got any ideas I could try?

    Two ways to do it.
    - in iTunes, go to "Settings->Store", and check "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases".  Anything you bought will now appear in your library with a little cloud next to it.  Click on the cloud to download it.
    OR
    - From iTunes, right-click on your mobile device while it's connected and select "Transfer purchased items" (or something like that).

  • Firefox sets automatic proxy configuration URL

    i dont use any proxys, but it seems that firefox sets itself to use this URL from time to time :

  • How can i get my ipod touch to sync with my mac & itunes?

    I've already restarted and reset ALL of my settings in my ipod touch. I even erased all of my music, if that helps. I' ve updated my itunes to the latest version twice. I've restarted my mac numerous times. My ipod touch will not sync at all. It won't even show that it's charging when i have it plugged into my mac. I've also used 2 different USB connections (wires) & none of this has done the job. Help please.

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration keeps getting disabled for Manual Proxy Configuration

    When ever I launch Firefox 3.6.13, the connection settings get reset to Manual Proxy Configuration. I switch the connection settings to automatic proxy configuration and all works fine. Upon closing and re-launching Firefox the Connection Setting is set back to manual proxy configuration.

  • Bypass automatic proxy configuration for some websites?

    Here's my problem, perhaps someone can help:
    I occassionally need to use my university's proxy server to access library materials, etc., through my off-campus connection. So I entered the .pac file (a url) in the Automatic Proxy Configuration box of System Preferences > Network. All well and good.
    The problem is, when I want to get more weather details from the weather widget for example, visiting a site like Accuweather.com throws up the login page for my proxy server. Having to enter my university id and password whenever I want to check the weather is guaranteed to drive me bananas.
    So is there any way to keep sites like Accuweather.com from demanding I log into my proxy server when there's no reason to, while still keeping my auto proxy configuration in place for when I really need to use it? Anything I can do in Safari about this?
    The other option seems to be to reserve one browser, configured with my university proxy, just for doing library research, etc., and another as a general surfing browser. I'd be happy to make Safari do general duty, and configure Camino to use the proxy server, but I can't seem to make this division work, since both use whatever's listed in Network Prefs. I can't tell one to use the proxy and the other not to, they're both controlled by this global pref.
    I think I might be able to specify the proxy locally in Firefox, and leave Safari w/o the proxy...But I much prefer the look and feel of Camino...
    Any ideas on how to get around this with Safari, or a combo of Safari and Camino?
    Thanks in advance for any tips.
    iBook G4 800Mhz 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Safari 2.0.3, Camino 1.0

    Okay, I found the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains" box right under my nose, in Network Prefs. It's explained in this kbase document,
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301534
    Getting closer...
    However, using the accuweather.com example, I tried entering the domain name and it still calls up the login in Safari. I even tried looking up the site's IP address and entering that in different forms:
    wwwa.accuweather.com
    207.242.93.24
    207.242.93.*
    Still no luck, it calls up the proxy server...

  • Automatic Proxy Configuration - FindProxyForURL

    The plug-in documentation states, "There are a number of JavaScript helper functions which can be called from the JavaScript function FindProxyForURL. Java Plug-in provides its own implementation of these functions to completely emulate the automatic proxy configuration."
    Does the Java Plug-in implement the dnsDomainIs helper function? I ask because the proxy.pac that I use has something like this:
    if (
    dnsDomainIs(host,"intranet.domain.com")
    return "DIRECT";
    When the Java Plug-in tries to connect to a particular host that is in our intranet (ex. host1.intranet.domain.com) I get a proxy server login prompt. However, if I use:
    if ( shExpMatch(host, "*.asco.ashland.com") )
    return "DIRECT";
    I do NOT get a proxy server login.
    Any thoughts?

  • How can I get an automatic connection to wifi on startup?

    We lost internet connection during snow/ice storm. I have to manually connect to wifi now. How can I get an automatic connection to wifi?

    An 'uninterruptible power supply' that automatically steps in and takes your computer
    off the grid momentarily, will work in cases of brown-out (under-power) & surge (spike)
    and it does so at a fast rate. Most of these also offer a way to customize sensitivity to
    a certain degree, depending on model and should there be a valid reason to do so.
    An old-school surge protector, even if it has a few fancy LEDs, is no protection. And
    for less than a replacement logic board or an hour of authorized Apple repair, the UPS
    is a fairly good investment. Backup battery is user-replaceable in the better made units.
    Most of them offer extra ports that do not use the battery-backup power feature. If you
    need to have more items run when the power switches up/down or out, you'd need to
    consider a larger capacity backup power unit. In some instances, the makers of these
    (for a time, perhaps even now) did caution users to not install more than one UPS per
    room when the same leg may have inadequate grounding, since these can dump the
    excess surge power from several different UPS units and overload the ground.
    That said, the gamble is yours. I've found to have and use these is some protection
    and when away from the computer. Most settings for controlling them appear in OS X.
    No additional software is required. Other settings may be on the UPS front panel.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Does Safari support Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knows whether Safari supports Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?

    HI Morgan ..
    Safari is extremely finicky about proxies and according to Wikipedia it dates back to older browser versions.

  • How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    gjortega,
    Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
    Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
    This article discusses the issue in more detail:

  • How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

    How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

    Hi,
    It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
    If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
    i.   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    ii.  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
    This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
    Hope this works.

  • How can i get in work my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    how can i get in use my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.
