Mac OSX 10.9.4 Internet Issue

Hello,
I recently updated my OS to 10.9.4 and started getting some Internet problems after the install. Before the update, my Internet was working fine, but afterwards, my browsers (Safari and Chrome) started restricting website access. Now, I can only access sites associated with Google (google.com, youtube.com, etc.). I can input searches into Google, but I cannot access any of the URLs upon clicking them.
When I try to access the non-Google web pages on Safari, I get a blank white page (the loading bar is already full by then). When I try to access the same non-Google web pages on Chrome, I get a "No data received" error. The error code on Chrome is "Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". I can access mail through the built-in mail application, and Network Diagnostics has repeatedly told me that I am connected to a functional Wi-Fi and that my Internet should be working properly, so I know that I am connected to a functional router. I have already tried clearing the DNS cache, but nothing's changed. I see that port 80 is open, so I know http is working.
To make sure that this isn't a router problem, I've tried to connect to non-Google sites on my home network and work network (both on different routers) but got the same result on both.
Can someone please help me out and tell me what they think might be wrong with my network connection?
Thank you.

Run the Network Diagnostics assistant. How far do you get?

What can I do when I try to access a URL and get the message "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:"?

I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK. Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:". I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf. Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL? And what can I do about the problem? I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded. Thanks.

An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

Mac osx 10.9 Mavericks wifi issue

Ok so Wifi is really starting to annoy now....
I have a 2013 Mac Air (about 1 month old). I upgraded to mavericks and now EVERYTIME the machine goes to sleep, i close the lid, whatever the wifi connection is shut down and on logging in again, the wifi doesn't connect. I have to manually turn off wifi and then turn on again before selecting my network (and usually needs 2 attempts).
This is unacceptable.
Does anybody else suffer from this issue? any ideas on how to fix it (other than reverting back to MLion - if that's even possible)
Thanks in advance for any responses
Kind Regards
Supersleb

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Reinstall OS X.

MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2009 - Mac OSX 10.10.2 - Any issues with video lagging/audio lagging?

Hello
Current OS and System details below. Have started to experience audio and video lagging when browsing (not effecting audio on music)
Have looked at some forums and it appears to be an issue with some later cards and Mac Book Pros
Any one else experiencing issues? and if so are they resolved? and if so by what manner were they resolved?

Since yo said "an issue with some later cards and Mac Book Pros" I would also post n the MacBook forum

Mac OSX 10.9.4 Wifi issue & crash

Hi Communities,
I have been using my mid-2009 Macbook perfectly until I decided to install a new SSD for this mac. After a clean installation, the Mac's wifi had gone crazy, I looked over our forum but whatever method I tried didn't work (turn off Bluetooth, delete files in Configuration, fresh installation, etc)
So, I decided to leave the Airport alone and bought a USB wifi receiver. It works really well and sometime, it could activate the Airport wifi for few minutes (but just few minutes won't be helpful so I keep Airport wifi OFF)
However, the crash always happens whenever I want to upload pictures to my Flickr or watch Youtube videos. Here's the Crash report

It's quite annoying because I can't use the Airport wifi, but I know it's still working for sure; there might just be something wrong with the CONFIGURATION
It' getting even worse when I keep facing the GREY SCREEN like in PC.
Really, I just want to get my Wifi back and never see that GREY SCREEN again
Please help

The brand name may be different, but the software, or the device, is causing the panics. I suggest you either get the built-in Wi-Fi fixed or consider buying a new computer. If you don't want to do either of those, try another USB Wi-Fi device.

Can't install Mac OSX via Internet recovery onto my new SSD

I just installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2012 (non Retina), but when i try to reinstall Mac OSX 10.7 via Internet recovery it doesn't recognize the new Drive (it does appear in disk utility when connected to another mac externally.) Please Help.

reinstall Mac OSX 10.7 via Internet recovery
The only folks who can get a free copy of Mac OS X 10.7 via Internet recovey are those who bought it previously. If you removed your old drive, and its Recovery_HD with your Apple_ID in it, how do you expect Apple to know who is asking for this download?
There are more reliable ways to do what you want to do.
Is you old drive still operable?
Do you have an external enclosure or another drive over 20GB?
Do you have another Mac?
Do you have a spare USB stick?

Mac osx panther on an ibook g3 A1005

hi i have an ibook g3 with osx tiger and i want to put mac osx panther on it cause it is kind of slow with osx tiger and i have a few questions will mac osx panther support wireless internet with an airport card installed and will it support all web sites like baisic websites please asnswer

You can do it but I have found Tiger to be faster than Panther even on a G3. So I recommend fixing what's wrong vs. downgrading.
Wireless will work but only 802.11b is supported on an iBook.
A G3 is going to be painfully slow on most websites no matter what OS you use. Those that require Flash or updated Java are not likely to work at all.

Using a Mac, OSX 10.6.8; My internet connection is working properly, yet I get the following message in iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unkown error occurred (-54)."

Using a Mac, OSX 10.6.8; My internet connection is working properly, I can reach all sites via browser, yet I get the following message in iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unkown error occurred (-54)."

I have the same issue with almost exactly the same environment...
iPhone4S (32GB) running iOS5.0
Windows 7 Enterprise
iTunes 10.5.2.11
iPhone has been set up to wirelessly sync when on charge yet I get this error when the iPhone is not even charging!
I work for a mobile network operator and although this isn't something we support anyway, we would usually stumble across something like this when customers call us for advice prior to contacting the manufacturer for support, yet this hasn't been a call driver so I'd imagine this is isolated... (either that or not many people have updated their device and set up the wireless sync lol)...
Hey Apple! Any ideas? :-)

Cannot go to the Internet from Mac OSX, and Fedora Core 5

All Windows users (XP, 2000, Vista Beta) can connect to the Internet no problem on WRT54G with Firmware v4.20.6 (may 26, 2005). But odd enough, though getting the right DHCP assigned IP addresses and DNS server address, MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.1) and Fedora Core 5 cannot go to the internet at all using Safari and firefox browsers: the message keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the internet. Tested with BOTH wired and wireless connections, no luck to the internet. So, it's not about the wireless settings and setup. It doesn't work even if I directly connect the CAT5 cable to the router port.
Tested at wireless hotspots, at work where we have Cisco access points, and at a friend's place where there is netgear wireless router, MacBookPro is just working fine connected to the internet.
Any suggestions? Linksys doesn't support Mac and Linux PCs at all?

Thank you very much All (devildance, and Frank).
Seems like it is working fine now...
I reset the router as factory default, and reconfig the wireless setting(disable broadcasting SSID, configure TKIP PSK, and MAC filtering). Directly connected CAT5 cable from the router to my MacBookPro Windows XP. Working fine. Switched to Mac OSX, working fine. But, when I disconnected the LAN, and attempted to connect wireless, I couldn't go to the Internet using Safari and Firefox: keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Still could ping to 4.2.2.2 and 207.232.22.25, but getting errors "could not resolve the host name" when I pinged with the hostname bearshare.com.
Connected the wired CAT5. Working fine. Unplugged and used the wireless, could not get to the internet.
Checked the NICs settings on both LAN ethernet and wireless airport. All seems the same and correct: IP address, subnetmask and gateway address, and NO DNS entry. The same settings, but works on LAN cat5, and not works with wireless. So, for the sake of it, just manually added the DNS server IP addresses and domain names on wireless NIC. And Wala...it is working fine with wireless. Still strange the fact that Ethernet LAN NIC still doesn't have any DNS entries and working fine, but required DNS entries on wireless NIC.
For Fedora Core, could ping and resolve names without changing any settings. But when going to the Internet, got the error saying "comcast doesn't support this platform/OS" and another error "Welcome to Comcast High speed Internet....registration currently unavailable" when attempting to go any websites. Notieced that we pinging cnn.com, bearshare.com, or any websites, got ping reply from the same IP address which appears to be one of the comcast DNS server IP, 68.87.64.132.
So, I think it is a comcast issue not supporting Linux or something else which I would need to call to Comcast about...
But, thanks...looks like I can go to the Internet on Mac OSX, and Fedora core now with Linksys WRT54G. Thanks so much guys for all the suggestions....

IMac Memory Issues: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available"

Hi all,
I've done some extensive searching on my issue, and haven't been able to find a solid solution. I was hoping that if I shared my specific problem, it might shed some light on what is going on. My OS is current: 10.8.2 with plenty of HD space (over 250 GB) and 4 GB ram.
Over the past couple of days, my iMac has become very slow and laggy. Most times I will eventually get the message: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available". This is after it has been lagging for quite a while, sometimes several hours.
I will restart, things will be sufficiently fast for a few minutes, but once I start working in any application (including any browser, or adobe software) it starts to slow down until it is eventually to a crawl, with the spinny wheel showing up often, even when only one application is open at a time. It doesn't take more than several minutes to start slowing down. Even simple things like hovering over the dock start to really lag, or opening my applications folder or System Preferences can take upwards of 15-30 seconds, even several minutes sometimes.
Here's some steps I've taken so far:
- Checked the activity monitor and system memory seems fine. No single app takes up more than 7% or so of memory at any given time. 1.65 GB active, 1.64 GB inactive, about 700 MB wired, free about 4 MB. VM size is 247 GB, CPU also seems OK: (%user around 10-20%, %System around 10%, Idle around 70-80%). No single app seems to be taking up an excessive amount of Real Memory.
- Permissions repair (It found some things to fix, but never completely finished, seemed to freeze after several hours, tried it several times)
- Checked disk for repair (no problems found), did the S.M.A.R.T check and ran tests again using Onyx.
- Re-indexed Macintosh HD
- I saw a suggestion to reset the PRAM, so I did that.
I do have the system backed up via Time Machine. Suggestions for further action are very much appreciated!

Ok, thanks. Here's a screenshot from during when it was running to a near halt (took me a while even to take the screenshot):
Here's a second screenshot after restart. All I did was open Chrome to post this:
At this exact moment I have about 500MB of memory free, but I have been watching it slowly count down starting from 2GB free when I first restarted. So far it is running smoothly, but I am guessing that it will start to lag again once the free memory dials down.
In case there is any correlation: I happened to have a strange issue with my internet connection. My router seems to be working fine, and I have wi-fi connected around the house. However, I did have my iMac connected via ethernet cable, and the wired connection was not working (was not finding a DNS address), but when I go to Wi-fi, it works. Again, could be totally unrelated, but it started just before the slowdown.

My mac osx 10.7.3 constantly disconnects from airport internet.

my mac osx 10.7.3 constantly disconnects from airport internet. I am able to reconnect every time but do this every 10 mins. i went to try and change channel but no airport base stations were found. i am positive it is not the router as all other devices stay connected. cant find any answers to my problem, just tons of others with the same issue!!!!

You can't discount your router just because the other devices work. The first thing I'd recommend doing is restarting the modem and router, then checking the router has the most up-to-date firmware (need to check that owners manual) and then you can check some other things like DNS settings and router channel conflicts with neighbors.
After restarting the router and double checking the firmware is up-to-date then I'd recommend checking the channel your router is on and what your neighbors use. You can download and use iStumbler, this will scan your area. If you are like most users neither you or your neighbors have changed the router channel from the default 5 or 6 channel. Look to see what channels are not being used and reset the router's channel. If that doesn't work then reset the DNS settings from the defaults your ISP uses. If you get to the point where the DNS does need to be reset here are the instructions:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences
If you want more info on the DNS please read CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting articles. If all that fails then you can simply toggle the wi-fi on and off on the w-fi menu in the upper right of your screen.

Canon Vixia HV30 capture issue on CS6 (Mac OSX)

This might be (hopefully) something in setup, but under Mac OSX Lion (10.7.4) / Premiere CS6, i am unable to capture video from my Canon Vixia HV30 - it's either i get a monstruous noise or simply get a 'capture device offline' message.
No one ever had a similar problem even withanother cam here? I posted weeks ago but never got any reply.
Am using the same cam under Windows with Premiere CS4 and never faced such an issue.
Matter of some sort of CODEC ? Does not seem to require any specific driver for Mac based on Canon website.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Rob

Solved... (Almost!)
Someone pointed out that Canon has a software (they said there was no driver for Mac OS X so I had stopped looking...) But if it may help others, there is a ''CameraWindow'' for Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 available.
As soon as I installed it, I could capture both from Adobe Premiere CS6 and iMovie.
One problem remaining though : the noise (feedback-like) that gets out from... the system's sound card ! (when capture is ongoing). I have to shut down the volume completely. Never had this issue under Windows, need to figure out why this happens now.
Jeff thanks again for your assistance, even though the solution was somewhere else.
If anyone has a clue for the noise issue ... please let me know

HP printer issue with Mac OSX 10.5.8

How do i set up/connect HP officejet 4635 printer to Mac OSX 10.5.8

Hello @robjpell , welcome to the forums
Unfortunately there are no drivers available for the Officejet 4635 on Mac OS X 10.5. You can try connecting a USB to see if it will work however, there is not a downloadable driver available.
Here is also the link to the drivers page for your reference: HP Officejet 4635 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers
I hope that clarifies your concern!
Have a wonderful day
