I can't connect to Hotmail's login window (I can connect to other websites).

The message I get is as follows: The connection has timed out The server at login.live.com is taking too long to respond. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies & history and hard reset a number of times. I can open other websites no problems.
Any help appreciated.

You cleared cookies and data in Settings>Safari? Did you close Safari as well before you reset the iPad? Double tap the home button and drag the Safari thumbnail up to the top of the screen to close it.

I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
Thx
Agnes

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

My Laptop will not connect to itunes, saying there is an internet connection problem. This is not so as I can connect to other websites. I have Windows 7, but do have a new internet supplier! Can anyone help?

Please note: I am NOT technically minded, although, I have accessed the itunes store through the same laptop and iPhone4 previously. Kindest Regards. Cx

Disable any security software on the computer and try again.

I have Firefox on my homapage. It always openend, but now when I open it, It doesn't open. It says that it can't reach google. But I can go on other websites, but not on google.

This is what it says: The length of the link is expired, the server at www.google.com has waited too long to respond. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * Check your network if you can't load any pages. * Make sure that Firefox has access to the Web and your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy server. It has been like this for 2 days. My network is working, it can load facebook,... And it has access to my web and I have a proxy server and a firewall...

Cannot access Facebook for past two days - can access all other websites - what can I do to fix this?

Since yesterday afternoon, I keep getting a message that Facebook is taking too long to load and I cannot access it. I cannot tell if it is a Facebook problem or a problem with Firefox. I have looked at everything I can look at, but can see no problem. I am able to access everything else. HELP!
== URL of affected sites ==
http://facebook.com

log4j is not Commons Logging. They're different packages. You can use log4j within Commons Logging, but they're not the same thing and their classes are not interchangeable.
It looks like this thing is using Commons Logging.

I can not get other websites to recognize my newest flash download

Nor does it show up on my program list, But when I go to delete programs it is there. This is driving me batty.

It sounds like you're running into an issue with Internet Explorer 9. If you're on a work computer, or you don't have Administrator access, you may lack permissions to enable plug-ins; however, it sounds like this can also happen if your Windows user profile gets corrupted.
I found the following thread on the Microsoft forums. The correct answer is at the bottom of the thread:

Short of that, you might consider just running Chrome, which ships a built-in Flash Player:

10.4.8 Client takes long time to get to login window when bound to OD.

I am working on a system in a school. We have a dual processor g5 xserve with 4 gb of ram, the raid card, and 3 500 gb drives.
Fresh install of 10.4.8 with all the updates.
Raid 5 split in 2 volumes, one for server and one for data.
AFP service running.
Local dns running.
Promoted to open directory master.
This is the following test scenario i have.
there is a user called studenttest and he belongs to a group called cccarstarmembers and is in a workgroup called student.
the studenttest users home folder exists in a sharepoint called students that is set up on the data partition.
there is a sharepoint called cccarstar that holds data for some educational software we use. The owner is administrator with rw access, the group is cccarstarmembers with rw access and others have no access.
The student workgroup only has a few changes like dock location just for testing purposes to verify that the work group is working properly.
When i bind a newly built 10.4.8 client with all the updates to the od server it intermittantly takes a long time for the client to get to the login window when it is powered up. Sometimes it will get to the login window in 45 seconds and other times it will take 5 minutes. This is not consistant. if you unbind the client then the computer will behave properly consistantly.
I have tried binding the client to the od master using the fully qualified domain name and the ip address with the same results.
the search path on the server is "dc=osx1,dc=erm,dc=sd,dc=bc,dc=ca" and on the client it auto populates at cn=config,dc=osx1,dc=erm,dc=sd,dc=bc,dc=ca".
I have changed the search path on the client to match the search path on the server with no success as this is what used to work for us on panther setups.
But this school has a panther client i am working on at the same time with the same applications installed and system preference settings and when i bind it to the same od master with the same search path that is displayed on the server it works fine. all users work, all groups and work groups work.
Dns appears to be working. lookup provides the correct forward and reverse lookup info on the server, if i use either the panther or tiger client and use lookup with the servers fully qualified domain name and ip address i get the correct answers back.
I had this problem before where tiger gave me slow to login screen problems but panther wouldnt when bound, and apple told me that it was because i had afp guest access disabled on the server. Enabling it resolved the issue about 6 months ago at another site but this time when building the server i made sure it was on from the start even thoug it is off by default.
Any suggestions, i am pulling my hair out and about 8 working hours from a deadline.

I've seen this a lot.
This Knowledge Base article refers to Active Directory but we've seen this fix login delays with OD-only environments too:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303841
Another one of the causes is when you have multiple network mounts and your AFP service has guest access disabled. The loginwindow is trying to authenticate to each share with the username given and it is failing when that user account is not authorised for that share.
Another can be the LDAP timeout value(s). Try adjusting these in the LDAPv3 plug-in.
Also make sure your network ports have portfast/faststart set on the Mac ports. Sometimes because of STP the port isn't initialised fast enough for the OS when it's ready to start LDAP'ing.
Let me know if any of this helps.

Hi there andytan83,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

"Other.." at login window

I'm seeing "Other..." at the login window. But, unlike some other threads here, it hasn't replaced the several user accounts I have. I see it in addition to them.
Root login is disabled. I tried enabling it and disabling it again, and it's still there. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

"Other.." can denote that you have networked accounts or something of the like.
Check under System Preferences -> Accounts -> On the Left column you will want to click on "Login Options" and uncheck "Allow network users to log in at login window"

Why am I getting an alert saying the connection to my hotmail has been reset when I can connect to other sites?

I get an alert banner saying my connection has been reset. This only happens when I try to connect to hotmail. It works fine when I connect to other sites, including this one. This is a new problem and I have not experienced it before, even though I have had problems with broadband connections. There are unusaul movements on my hotmail like when I delete messages and clear the delete folder, the deleted messages reappear when I reopen my hotmail. I have also had messages missing and reappearing even though they are from several year ago. The new problem with the alert message started about 10 minutes ago. I was able to access my hotmail via Safari but I get the alert message everytime I try with firefox.

Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

I can't connect to Hotmail's login window (I can connect to other websites).
