It won't open any website, no matter what i type in, in ff 4 beta 5

i downloaded ff 4 beta 5 this morning, and at the end of the installation, (where they check compatability of add-ons) a pop-up said
The operation cannot be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly.
and when i opened the ff beta, it won't load any pages...
its just in the beta... my regular ff (3.6.9) is fine.

This is a known bug and it is being worked on.
The relevant bug report is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588511 Bug 588511], but please do not comment on the bug report.

Firefox won't open any website and displays an Invalid URL at all websites.

Until now, I had no trouble with Firefox but everytime the new Firefox updated, everything came up as Invalid URL. For about a week I realised I could 'restore previous versions' of the file every day but now that isn't an option and I cannot access any website.
Can anybody help me?

hello christine, since this can sometimes be caused by malware active on a system, please run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner].

Safari won't open any website

Network diagnostics say that WiFi is good, network settings are good, ISP is good, etc. And other devices on my network are connecting to the web without issues. But my macbook air will not connect to any website.

I get a message that Safari cannot access the webpage because the server is not responding. However, all my other devices are connecting with no problem. I just got off the phone with Apple Support and after doing some trouble-shooting and determining that the mba is fine, he asked me to cycle power on the modem and router. After doing this, the mba connected to the internet with no problem. I asked him why would the mba need the router to reboot if my other devices are ok? He said the mba needed to reset its connection. It's still a mystery to me, but at least now I know what to do.
BTW, OS is 10.7.4 and Safari is 6.0.
Thanks for replying. Maybe my experience will help someone else.

All of a sudden it won't open any websites, but Explorer works, so why doesn't Firefox? I hate Explorer, I want my Firfox to work. I tried to re-download it but I suck at all this ......

In other words, it was working fine, then it would not launch any more sites. I tried Explorer and it works, so I know it's not the overall internet connection, just the Firefox piece. I am worried that I accidentally clicked on something to block it, but I can't find anything like that to change the settings on. I use Windows. So is there something you can get me to click on to be sure I'm not blocking it somehow by mistake? I'm famous for accidentally clicking on something that nobody else would ever have a problem with, but somehow my fingers find that one combo of buttons and then the computer is messed up. Help!

ITunes won't open...no matter what! Expert advice needed

Hi,
I installed iTunes on my computer but I cannot open it.
Everytime I do I receive the message:
*'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.'*
The thing with this is, I am an administrator. Now, I've logged into my computer on the built in Administrator account and it loads up and works fine, but as soon as I go back to my personal account I can't open iTunes.
I've tried all the obvious such as reinstalling the program etc. but nothing works.
Help, help, help!!

Most of the users of this forum are American and asleep at the moment.
I am afraid I don't have a definitive answer, I guess it must be something to do with the way you ahve your account set up.
However to get running, how about going to your shortcut and selecting poperties, then the shortcut tab>Advanced.
There is a run with different credential checkbox, it is geyed out on my Home Edition XP, but maybe you can use it to run iTunes as the adminstrator from your account. This wouldn't be a long term solution.

Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below. First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems. However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched. The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose. My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R. This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose. Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha? Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
HELP!
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
Why did it suddenly stop working?
What can I do to fix it ASAP?
Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari" - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do. I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files. Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error. Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible). I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
5) Re-install Photoshop
After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file. I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue. It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator). But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution. Hope this helps!

Firefox 3.6.8 is not opening any website, while internet explorer is browing the internet normaly.

Firefox is not opeing any website at all. The internet connection is running smooth. IE is browsing the internet normaly. Skype and messenger is also running without any issues but fire fox won't browse the internet at all. It always displays the following message when ever i try to open any website.
"'' The connection has timed out
The server at en-us.start3.mozilla.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.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Dreamweaver CS5 won't open any files from a project

Hi,
I'm working on a simple website. I work on it from 2 different locations (home and work), and the files are stored on a removable USB disk. The problem is that for some reason Dreamweaver won't open any files made on the other computer. It shows the sitemap, eveything. But when I click on a file, nothing happens.
I've tried a couple of things:
1. recreate the site in the site manager - still the same problem
2. remove the preference folder - still the same problem
The only solution is that I have to copy the files to my desktop, recreate the website in the sitemanager and then it works. But only if I copy the files to my desktop, any other location on my HD (not the removable USB disk) simply doesn't work.
Does anybody know why this happens? Or even better, does anybody have a tip of how to workaround this problem?
thanks!

Safari not opening any website

Since two days safari is either extremely slow opening any website or doesn't open them at all.
My system is:
- Macbook Air 2011
- Mountain Lion
- Safari 6.04
I all my network settings. Everything seems to be normal, incl. Proxies, DNS etc. I even downloaded Safari and installed again. I deleted my browsing history, caches, I evenran a antivirus scan. Rebooted the system...nothing changed!
The problem also impacts some other applications, like Mail, Skype
I have Chrome installed and the same problem there as well. I opened my Windows 8 in Parallels and started Internet Explorer. That worked smoothly!!!
Seems like I'm out of options. At least for now I don't know what to do. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it.
Thanks for any help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google), Opera, or Mozilla Firefox. I already did the "Reset Safari", restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete.

My MacBook Pro won't load any websites on Safari (except this site, Facebook and Google). Opera and Mozilla Firefox won't load any sites whatsoever. I already did the "Reset Safari" several times, restarted the computer half a dozen times, and I can't find this alleged "caches.db" file to delete. I virus scanned the computer with Sophos, Avast, and iAntiVirus and it looks clean.

Is iAntiVirus the best virus protection to use for a MacBook?
The best anti-virus protection is your own common sense, and what you already bought and paid for with your Mac. Third party products such as "iAntiVirus" convey no additional benefit, and as you already determined are very capable of causing trouble.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Ipad pages won't open any documents, it lets me create one but won't open it

Basically the title says it all
Ipad pages won't open any documents, it lets me create one but won't open it
I have updated it last night, but the same problem was happening yesterday afternoon
iPad 2 - I bought it March 2012

Check the following settings:
1. Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On
2. Settings>iCloud>Documents and Data>On

Unable to open any websites from the search engines. the ones I have tried are google, yahoo and ask. They opened until recently. The popup says" Firefox can't establish connection to the server." Ask worked last night but is not working now.

When I try to open a web site from one of the search engines a pop up shows stating that Firefox can't establish connection to the server. I can't open any websites through any of the search engines.
