Internet broken on one OS, not the other

A few weeks ago, I was trying to fix some bug that was causing my main operating system (Mountain Lion) on my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to constantly create virtual memory, killing my battery at tremendous rates, eating up my hard drive and destroying my computer's performance. I spent forever trying to fix the stupid problem, and found somewhere that deleting certain .plist files (but not these specific apple ones) would fix the problem.
It fixed the problem! No more slow computer!
And then my internet stopped working. But only on that operating system, Mountain Lion. I have another operating system partitioned off, Snow Leopard, that I use for legacy software, and it works perfectly fine still.
A week ago I upgraded Mountain Lion to a developer version of Maverick (no comments), since Mountain Lion was screwed anyways without internet and I thought, why not? Maverick works great, and I thought the update might fix the internet, but it [I]still doesn't work.[/I]
I've deleted all my network connections, deleted all network plists and recreated everything from scratch. The connection is great, I have a local IP address—it just won't connect to any websites!
Google.com would actually work for a while and allow me to search things. Weirdest thing. It stopped working though.
Again, my Snow Leopard is getting internet fine. That's what I'm on now.
I've searched the web up and down for this specific problem and I can't find anything on it. So I finally gave up on trying to fix it myself, and here I am.
Help me please?

Have you tried trashing /Library/Preverences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist ?
In some instances renaming the folder /Library/Preverences/SystemConfiguration and adding .old on the end and rebooting the mac will refresh all of the Network Interfaces and Power Management settings enough to resolve networking issues.
Have you tried to connect to a different network? Is the issue the same on all Networks? Does Ethernet work?
Are you able to use Network Utility to Ping any site? Are you able to Ping an i/p address on the internet?

    I have 2 older iPod touches and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I sync music on both?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

  • Two email accounts, one password for both. will check one but not the other. Have had no problems before

    I have 2 email accounts for 2 people. TB will download mail for one but not the other. It can't authenticate the password. Passwords are both the same. Worked fine until today.

    The amount of information makes it somewhat hard to give a specific answer. I could only recommend:
    * Can you log into the account using the webmail service from your provider?
    * Have you verified the settings for the account to be correct (protocol, port number, password encoding)?
    The following page gives you a good start with resolving this issue:

  • HT5622 How do I set icloud on 2 ipads.It recognises one,but not the other one?

    How do I set up icloud on 2 ipads? It recognises one but not the other one.

    Hi Leora Beisly,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Before setting up iCloud on your devices, I recommend updating to the latest iOS software version. This will ensure that you can use all of the iCloud features on your devices. See this article for information on updating your iPads:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Next, see this page for iCloud setup instructions:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2609
    Before you can use iCloud on each of your devices, you need to sign in to iCloud using your existing Apple ID or a new one, then turn on the iCloud features you want to use.
    You may have set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac when you first used it. To make sure it’s set up correctly, or to set up your iCloud account on another iOS device, computer, or Apple TV, go to the set up iCloud website listed below.
    Important: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • I have 2 iPads, I can only download some apps to one device not the other one?

    I have 2 iPads, but can only download some apps to one and not the other?. How can I get the same app on both iPads?
    Thanks

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

    I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • 2 Apple TV's; Mirroring to one but not the other

    Help me Apple Communities you're my only hope.*
    I have 2 Apple TV's on the local network, bothe with Airplay enabled. One labelled AppleTV, the other labelled TV Upstairs.While I can happily stream music and video to both devices from iOS or the MacBook Pro, Mirroring is another matter.
    On my iPad 2 when I select Airplay to the Apple TV it comes up with the option for Mirroring. However selecting the TV Upstairs Apple TV does not provide this option, and only  sound output only, with quite a delay. The iPad 2 is iOS5, and both Apple TV's are latest stable release. The Time Capsule is upstair with the Upstairs AppleTV.
    Any ideas for this?
    * guess what I was testing video streaming with.

    I think you may be suffering from the same issue as many others in that case.
    The situation over the current update seems a little unsure at the present time.
    4.4 was released, it was then replaced by 4.4.1, which itself was removed and then made available again, it seems from the number of related post that it may have been removed again.
    Some posters are still reporting success by updating via iTunes but I can't confirm that these posts weren't simply referring to other times when the updates were available.
    I'd be inclined to sit tight and try again at a later time.

  • Script works on one site, not the other... why?

    Could someone tell me why this prototype-based lightbox seems
    to work on one
    site but not on the other?
    I literally took the exact same .js & css files, copied
    them over from one
    site to the other, but it's only partially working on the new
    site.
    http://www.vilverset.com/sample.html
    And the original fully-functional one :
    http://www.roxanacampagiorni.com/
    Been troubleshooting this one for days, and I'm stumped.
    Script wants
    nothing to do with lightboxing HTML files on the new site.
    Only straight
    JPGs.

    That's what I told a helper friend of mine, but he told me
    the POST is done
    by the server, not the JS files. That's why, according to
    him, he couldn't
    tell me what code to change in the .js files.
    But here they are, if you would be so kind as to tell me WHAT
    to replace
    with WHAT so the call is made properly. :-)
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/control.modal.2.2.3.js
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/effects.js
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/prototype.js
    Those are the 3 files needed for the script.
    Should I be banging on Dreamhost's door to fix something, or
    not? Because
    the exact same 3 files will render an HTML page just fine
    over on
    roxanacampagiorni.com.
    Which is the guilty party? The script, or the server config?

  • 2 identical iPhones-Airprint works one, but not the other?!

    My husband and I both have iPhone 4S 32GB.  We're using an HP Photosmart 6510 which is both ePrint & Airprint ready.  Here's the problem:
    I can print via ePrint or Airprint, but my husband's phone will ONLY do ePrint.  I don't get it!  We have the printer and both iPhones on the same wireless network.  He even gets a message that his print job is sending/printing, but nothing prints.  I can Airprint the same file from the same e-mail and it works fine.  HP is useless...they just keep telling me to reboot the phone and/or reboot the printer.  This fixes the problem initially, but a day or two later, the same thing happens.  it's very frustrating and I'd really like a permanent fix for this.
    Can anyone help?!  Please?!
    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the feedback.  It's worth a try.  What's making me crazy is why would one phone work and not the other?  Rhetorical question, but still making me crazy. 

  • JDBC with CLOB abnomally - shows on one server, not the other

    Hi have a problem.
    I recently moved a web application to another server. I copied over all the same java libraries I had on the first server.
    The web application queries an Oracle table - the table contains one CLOB field.
    When I query the table on the first server, I can see the contents of the CLOB.
    When I query the table with the other server, the query is empty for the CLOB field.
    This is the code I use to query the table. I have connection pooling set up within Sun Web Server. If it works on the one server, why would it not work with the other server? This is driving me crazy!!
    Any suggestions?
    try{
                // Get connection from configured pool
                initContext = new InitialContext();
                source = (DataSource) initContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/myDB");
                conn = source.getConnection();
                if(conn != null){
                    stmt = conn.createStatement();
                    result = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
                    rsmd = result.getMetaData();
                    while(result.next()){
                        Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
                        for(int i = 1; i <= rsmd.getColumnCount(); i++){
                            if(result.getString(i) != null){
                                hash.put(rsmd.getColumnName(i),result.getString(i));
                            }else{
                                hash.put(rsmd.getColumnName(i),"");
                        returnValue.addElement(hash);
            }catch (Exception e){
                setErrors(e.toString());
                Email.sendMail("[email protected],"subject","Exception: " + e.toString() + "\nWith: " + sql,"fromname");
            }

    I tried that with this code:
    <body>
              <h1>

              </h1>
              <%
              Connection dbconn=null;

              try{
                   Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
                   try{
                        boolean     doneheading = false;
                        dbconn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host.com) (PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=theserver.com)))","username", "password");
                        sql = dbconn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM BE_STATUS_EMAILS WHERE ID='42575'");
                        results = sql.executeQuery();
                        while(results.next()){
                             if(!doneheading){
                                  out.println("<table border=2>");
                                  doneheading = true;
                             out.println("<tr><td>" + results.getString("ID"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("RECEIVED"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("TYPE1"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("FROM1"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("TO1"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("CC"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("SUBJECT"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("MESSAGE"));
                             out.println("<td>" + results.getString("STATUS"));
                        if(doneheading){
                             out.println("</table>");
                        }else{
                             out.println("No results");
                   }catch (SQLException s){
                        out.println("SQL Error<br>");
                   }finally{
                        if(dbconn!=null)dbconn.close();
              }catch (ClassNotFoundException err){
                   out.println("Class loading error");
              %>
         </body>It produced the output, but again, the CLOB field was null. But when I query the database with that SQL using a database query tool, like Aquastudio, I can see the output. And if I run the stub on the other server, it works! This is nuts!!
    Any suggestions?

  • RAW+JPEG Pairs: How do I delete one, but not the other?

    I import RAW+JPEG. How can I ditch just the JPEG or just the RAW half of the pair? A3 seems to allow display of only one or the other by making it the Master, but how do I get rid of the non-Master?

    There's an easier way:
    Open the Aperture library contents (ctrl-click, select "show pkg contents"), and navigate to masters/year/month/day/downloads, and delete the raw file(s).
    You can view by kind, and delete all the raw files in a project this way; just make sure you haven't assigned any of the raw files as master.
    So far, I have not observed any adverse effects to the Aperture database, but they may be coming. I always archive all the files off-line before importing to Aperture, no nothing is completely irreversible.
    It would still be nice, as another poster said somewhere, to render a raw file as a new jpg master, and then delete the raw, but I use raws so rarely, that deleting the ones I don't use gives me 90% of the disk savings.

  • Two elxl ethernet cards - need to hardcode speed/duplex on one but not the other

    Hello,
    I am running Solaris 8 IA, and have two 3com Ethernet cards. One (elxl1) is a 10Base-T card that is used to connect to my cable modem, and the other (elxl0) is a 100Base-TX card that I use to connect to my internal network.
    I had been using a crossover cable to connect elxl0 to my Windows machine (my Solaris box is running ipfilter for firewalling and NAT), and it worked perfectly. I purchased a Linksys switch, and get about 90% packet loss when the two machines are connected to it.
    What I'm thinking is that I need to hardcode the speed and duplex settings of elxl0. Of course, I'd prefer to set it to 100/Full, but if I edit elxl.conf, the settings take effect for both cards, and causes elxl1 to not function, since it is not capable of running at 100/Full.
    Is there a way to tell the OS that I want to set elxl0 to 100/Full without affecting elxl1?
    A response here or via e-mail at [email protected] would be greatly appreciated.

  • Trying to manually sync 2 phones, songs show on one, but not the other

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my daughters cell phone to my wife's old iphone.  I successfully imaged my wifes old phone (4) to her new one (4s).  I then restored that phone to factory settings create my daughters.  I was adding music from iTunes, which I also sync to my iphone (4).  Some of the songs are showing as greyed out on her device.  They show up fine, and can be played on mine. It seems to be somewhat random - sometimes, track 01 is there and the others aren't, sometimes the whole album is not there, sometimes a single song that's on a playlist is greyed, sometimes they are there.  I did another factory reset and reinstall on her phone with the same results.
    Thanks

    hi catfish197621,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    You can try to:
    1. Download the latest updates Over The Air (OTA) to get the latest patches and bug fixes on the OS (go to settings > about tablet > check for system update).
    2. Download a camera app utility like Camera Zoom FX to see if you can zoom in and out and switch to the front facing camera.
    Hope this helps.
