Internet Browser

I usually use my MBP on a home network that has a TiBook as the only other computer. One of my important email accounts happens to be on Hotmail, which I can't check in Safari because MSN is weird. That, and some other site incompatibilities, are why I have Firefox. However, I can only run Firefox (or Opera or Mozilla) when the MBP is on that home network. The only web browser I can use is Safari.
When I try to open anything else (i.e. not Safari) and I am not on my home network, I get a window saying "State of AFP Connection" and a message saying it is looking for the TiBook. If I hit cancel, the window just pops back up a little later and I never get a browser window. If I don't hit cancel, it searches for a minute or so and I get an error message saying "The server might not exist or is not available at this time. Check the name or IP address of the server and try again." When I AM connected to the home network, as soon as I visit a web page the MBP automatically mounts the TiBook's hard drive in the finder. Once the hard drive is mounted, Firefox works fine.
I have uninstalled Firefox, Opera, etc. and reinstalled several times, with nothing fixing the problem. When I uninstall, I do a Spotlight search for everything containing the name "Firefox" or "Mozilla" and delete it. I'm assuming there's some browser profile somewhere that I need to delete since the problem is not exclusively limited to Firefox (I've tried Opera and Mozilla and have had the same problem), but I don't know what/where that file may be. Any clues on what I can do to get my backup browser working?

Pretty strange!
Did you ever use those Browsers to connect to the TiBook?
Is the TiBook set to Automount on the MBP?
Firefox uses it's own Proxies/DNS, whereas Safari uses the System Proxies/DNS, don't know on Opera.
Ever use Internet Sharing on the two?
Ever install anything like Speed Download?
Might look in Startup Items & Login Items for clues.

    It is functioning max 5 minutes. I have tried to restore it via Itunes but it sitais to less opened.

    Hello neegie
    Try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. After that then test it out. If during the restore you get and error code, check it against the second article for further assistance.

  • I have BIS but can't send/receive email, surf with internet browser

    i have BB Curve 8520. My BIS was running smoothly (sending and receiving emails real time and surfing the net through BIS), until i noticed when i tried to reply to an email that came in, it won't send. i noticed that it's fluctuating. i was able to send the email after a few minutes... then a few minutes later, i received a replied email from my friend, and when i tried to send my reply, i wasn't able to. also, i can't surf using the browser with the "internet browser" as default. i tried using my wifi and then suddenly all my emails started coming in, all emails that were not able to go through hours ago. my big question was why do i need to turn on wifi just to receive emails. but since i had my BIS for 2 months now, i can send and receive emails and surf through BIS itself without turning on the wifi.  also, i can't use any of my apps like facebook, twitter, yahoo messenger, etc.  They used to work fine with BIS... but now, i have to turn on the wifi connection, so i could log in with them.  aren't these supposed to be running through BIS only?
    I have GPRS on top, not gprs.
    so, i wiped out my BB and deleted all third party apps. when this was done, i received emails telling me "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" and even got "Activation Server" emails telling me that the emails that i have previously set up are now up and running. so i thought my BB is now ok.. i tried surfing, it was okay. after like about 5 minutes, it was down again. tried sending email but can't... i turned on the wifi and boom! the emails started coming in again.
    i have the Host Routing Tables and my Service Books in my BB. I have GPRS (not gprs) on top which means i have active BIS.  i have registered my HRTs several times... and resending my service books... same thing...
    -My carrier has not reported any data outage.
    - I'm in an area where I've had RIM data services (for months now). It has always been working well. I've never really had any problems with my BIS until 4 days ago when it just suddenly stopped sending/receiving emails, surfing through internet browser, using facebook, twitter, ym apps, etc.. 
    -the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
    -i've read somewhere that it may be some application error or something, so I've wiped out my BB thrice now, deleted all third party apps, everything is clean i guess, but still I end up with the same problem.
    -i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... same thing...
    can you help me out with this? i have tried battery pull, wipe out and OS reinstallation lots of times but same problem happens...

  • My 6th generation Ipod Classic will not eject, works fine otherwise and properly goes thru sync cycle.  A message shows files are in use and device can't be ejected.  If I close my internet browser it will eject properly every time.

      I have a new HP Pavilion running Windows 7 with lots of memory and a terabyte of storage, using iTunes 11 with a 6th generation Ipod Classic.  Have used my current iPod for years with no problem until today; when I try to eject the device iTunes stops responding, there is a delay of about 10-15 seconds until a message box pops up: "the ipod cannot be ejected as there are files in use."  It also won't eject from the windows taskbar, same type of message appears. iTunes remains unresponsive until I click "ok" on the message box. I've reset the ipod twice and disabled the "enable disk use" button for the ipod -- with no change in symptom.
      I am not certain as to the fix but am 100% sure that the problem does not occur if I close my open browser; it occurs only when I have an Internet browser open.  I experimented with Google Chrome that I normally use, and also with Internet Explorer -- when either browser is being used the ipod cannot be ejected.
      I've used iTunes 11 for about 3-4 weeks and this problem had not occurred until today.

    I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

  • Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

    I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office.  i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time.  I can't open more than one internet browser at a time.  Windows 7.  I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
    I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service.  They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus.  Is there a virus going around that causes this problem?  IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
    My AV software does not pick up any viruses.  I use Avast.
    Can anybody help me? 
    Thanks.

  • Internet browsing ludicrously slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    I wonder if someone could possibly offer some suggestions please.
    Everything was fine and running sweetly on ML.
    After upgrading to Mavericks, Internet browsing has become ridiculously slow.
    Safari, Chrome and Firefox all exhibit the same problems.
    Spotlight isn't indexing, and nothing else is 'hogging' any resources.
    There are no issues with my routher or modem ad my WindozePC works just fine.
    I have seen posts by people recommending clearing the Cache and Preferences files.
    Within these folders though, are settings I don't want to lose. (reg info for software etc.)
    Due to geographical restrictions, a trip to the Genuis Bar isn't an option.
    Could someone please offer some advice?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hold down the Option key while emptying the Trash.
    As for your Mac running slower... make sure there's enough free disk space.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection.  How can I get back to normal operating speed?

    After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely.  How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode?  Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Green "Back" Button Doesn't Work in Internet Browser

    I am using the integrated Internet browser. If I navigate to the Google home page, do a search and select a page from the search results, pressing the green "previous" button doesn't result in the search results page being displayed. Instead the current page is re-loaded. If I keep pressing the green button, I can eventually get back to the search results (because I am jumping back quicker than the page can re-load).Is there another browser app I can try, or is there any setting i can change?The TV is a KDL32W706B.

  • Unable to view all the pdf menu bar in internet browser

    We are working on a web application where we have to provide options to users to edit pdf directly(like changing the text) and save to the server again. I installed acrobat professional on my machine to develop the code. But when i open the pdf in my web application(i.e Microsoft Internet Browser..) it is just showing few tool bars, but i need to load all the menu bars so that user can use all the menus which is available for adobe professional. Thanks for your help.

    When viewing a PDF in a web browser, one is using a special plugin for the web browser to read PDF files. I have the same problem when I have an Excel file opened in a web browser, there is no Excel menu bar or toolbars.  You might be able to add some JavaScirpt to the PDF to display the necessary tool bars.
    I always wondered why they call these internet viewers browsers.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Internet Browser pops up 8 preview windows - how do you pick what is in the 8 preview windows ?

    In main Home Display, I click Browser and it pops up 8 preview window panes for me, which is most helpful.  I have some there I use frequently such as a traffic site.  But, my 8 preview window panes have no button I can click which allows me to add a window to that, nor any way I can see to remove 6 of the 8 I have no interest in ever seeing again, ever.
    How do I delete 1 of the 8 preview window panes in Internet Browser, and replace the 8 with what I want to show-up there please ?
    Thank you.
    Give Thumbs-Up if helps you, or say Solution Accepted, or say Like.

    I deleted the Bookmarks for the 6 of the 8 I never want to see again.  They still fill-up 6 of the 8 slots.  I have no interest in those 6 and cannot figure out how to get rid of 6 of the 8.  I have 6 others I definitely do want to have with the 2 of the 8 I already have in there, like the Traffic.

  • .pdf with Word hyperlinks opens in internet browser, or not at all

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat X and Word 2010.
    When I create a .pdf from the Word application, all the hyperlinks work fine, EXCEPT that they open in the default internet browser instead of Reader. If I create the .pdf through Acrobat the links don't work at all.
    I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Acrobat X, Word 2010 and Windows 7.
    Is there a way to get the Word-created .pdf links to open in Reader?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    That would work on my PC, but unfortunately I can't control how each of our users have their browser set up. We require them to have Reader installed just for that reason.
    Thank you, though.

  • Beating a dead horse: Access Time Capsule files w/ an internet browser $

    I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I have spent 2 days and countless hours looking up how to access my TC using an internet browser. I've read about port fwding and dynamic vs. static IPs. I cannot figure this out. If someone could help me and actually get it to work, I would be willing to pay them a reward for there services thru paypal. I don't want to sign up for Mobile Me or pay for any monthly subscriptions. I just wanna be able to access my TC and it's files where ever I am using an internet browser. Here's what I've got:
    MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mac OS 10.6.4
    Verizon Fios router model MI424WR-GEN2 w/ a dynamic IP
    My TC is connected by ethernet to the Verizon router which enables me to use the WiFi on the TC
    Do I have to sign into my Verizon router and change setting?
    I'm pretty network illiterate so a good step-by-step would be great.
    Thank so much to whoever can help me.

    After all the setting have been put in, I'm getting an error that won't let me update the TC. It wants me to correct 2 problems. "The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device. What's that?
    This error message is due to the fact that the TC is performing as a router (its default) and not as a bridge (as it should be) because it is downstream of your Verizon-provided router.
    I apologize as I just realized when I first responded to you, that I had assumed that the TC was the only router in your network configuration. As such I had provided you with instructions based on that assumption.
    As such, at least two things need to change in the instructions that I provided: 1) The Verizon-supplied router is your main Internet router and it is the one that needs to be configured for Port Mapping/Forwarding, not the TC, and 2) The TC should be reconfigured as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)).
    So I used the "with Time Capsule password", was that right?
    Yes, that would be correct.
    Here are the "adjusted" instructions:
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC
    o Note the value of the IP Address. This is the IP address of the TC that was assigned by the Verizon-supplied router. We are going to want to change this to a static IP address. For now, just note what IP address range it is in, i.e., 10.n.n.n or 192.168.n.n, etc.
    Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Manual Setup > Internet > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4 = Manually
    o IP Address = select an IP address just outside of the range provided by your Verizon router. For example, if the router is supplying IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.50, enter 192.168.0.51 here.
    o Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
    o Router Address = This would be the LAN-side IP address of your Verizon router. Most likely it is 192.168.0.1
    o DNS Servers = you would need to get these from your ISP, or just use the OpenDNS servers
    o Domain Name = you can leave this blank
    Manual Setup > Disks > Files Sharing tab
    o Enable file sharing (checked)
    o Secure Shared Disks = With Time Capsule password
    o AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed
    o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port (checked)
    Manual Setup > AirPort > Base Station
    o Enter a Base Station Password and verify it in the Verify Password box.
    o When you have made all the changes, click Update.
    Port Mapping instructions would be specific for your Verizon router. If you don't already, you may need to download a copy of the User Guide for this router in order to configure Port Mapping properly. The key is that the IP address for the port mapping would now be the private static IP address that you assigned to the TC. The Public & Private ports would be the same.

  • How can I add Internet browser back/forward buttons to the main toolbar?

    The developper of the software I'm testing manages to open

    Is there any way to add these classic Internet browsing
