MacBook Pro won't open pages in Safari or Chrome; wifi works on other devices fine.

Using OS X; software is updated. I am not very computer savvy, so I have NO IDEA how to diagnose the issue. And i am sure I haven't provided enough info, but I don't know what is important to diagnose the problem. HELP!

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Firefox will not open Version 4.01 (tried to download new version), on MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Safari and Chrom both work OK

I cannot get on-line with Firefox. It simply will not open any page. I'm told it cannot make a connection. And yet both Safari and Chrome work fine, hence it is not a connection problem.
Moreover, when I started with Chrome, it offered me the option to export bookmarks, but only from Safari. Firefox never appeared in the import box
I was using Firefox 4.01. I tried to download the new version, dragged it to Applications, but 4.01 remains in situ. I work on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8

Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox

Macbook Pro won't open any files, safari or app store

Hi, last night my macbook (15-inch, Late 2008) froze completely and wouldn't let me turn off or restart, so I had to wait until the battery ran out to reboot. When i rebooted it seemed the macbook had completely reset , all my files are all grouped under "all my files" instead of their designated folder, and the image of each file (e.g. usually a note if a song) had gone.
When trying to open a file it does not let me, the same goes for a few applications including Safari, App Store and programs i had bought previously.

This is what your problem is. You have received a MBP that has all of the App store applications registered under the sellers name.
You should have received the MBP with the original OSX disks so that you could set it up in your name and with your ID. Ask the seller if he has the original disks and a Snow Leopard retail disk. (10.6.8 is needed to install Lion, Mt. Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite)
If not, you will have to at the very least purchase a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You will have to install Snow Leopard and then run software update to upgrade it to 10.6.8.
If you connect a HDD to your MBP via USB, with this disk, you can install Snow Leopard on the external HDD.
Ciao.

My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it. (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

Mac won't open pages in browsers. Chrome and Firefox won't open any pages - Safari will only open a selected few.

I've had some strange browser issues, with Conduit being added to Chrome (which I've tried to remove via the browser settings). Chrome will open my Gmail account but no ther pages. Firefox won't open anything. Safari opens a few pages (this forum thankfully) but is very selective.
Google is returning results to me via Google.es rather than Google.co.uk
I can use all browsers freely on other devices on home network (although Google.es has popped up on my iPhone now). I've run anti-virus software which hasn't picked up any problems. I've tried uninstalling Chrome and Firefox, but am unable to do so.
Any help or guidance would be really, really appreciated.
I'm running the most recent version of Mavericks on 2012 iMac.

Hi,
First of all click Safari/Reset Safari, next click Safari/Preferences/Extensions and turn off extensions. The re-test
If the problem persists, try using safari in safe mode:

If Safari works ok in safe mode, then your problem points to something 3rd party related.

My macbook pro won't open games that weren't purchased in itunes store. How do I change the preferences for downloads?

My macbook pro refuses to open games if they weren't purchased from the apple store. Message says my security settings prohibit opening game. How do I reset the security settings?

Not sure about where it is or even it this setting exists on 10.6 but on lion it is in the security & privacy section of system preferences. You have to click the lock icon and type in your admin password then select "Anywhere" in the "allow applications downloaded from:" area.

New MacBook Pro won't open iPhoto 09

I have a new 15" MacBookPro and cannot open iPhoto. The message reads "You can't open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac." I used Migration Assistant which moved over the applications yesterday -- took over 5 hours and didn't move the documents at all.
After reading in some posts somewhere that iLife '09 needed to be purchased separately, I took out my iLife family pack, and ran the install for it on the new MacBook Pro.
I tried to install iLife Support 9.0.3 but got a message that "This update does not need to be installed. A newer version of this software is already installed." Garageband boots up fine.
There is only one iPhoto application installed and it is version 8.1.2. Says it's an Application (PowerPC)
Is my Mac defective?? Is there an explanation or a fix for this?

Why did you do that? iLife (including iPhoto) comes preinstalled on all new systems - moving iPhoto from another computer is not necessary and does not work
After reading in some posts somewhere that iLife '09 needed to be purchased separately, I took out my iLife family pack, and ran the install for it on the new MacBook Pro.
Did you delete the iPhoto receipts ("your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) prior to doing this install?

Very doubtful
Is there an explanation or a fix for this?
It is possible that the iPhoto application is just fine and it is only your library - to test that depress the option key and launch iPhoto - create a new library and import a few photos into it and test it - if that works then the application is ok - to switch back to the main library you will need to repeat the option - launch.
Once you have the iPhoto application straightened out, It it likely that your iPhoto library did not transfer correctly - Migration assistance does not always do a good job on the iPhoto library - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

New MacBook Pro won't open/load .dmg files

I have new MacBook Pro, purchased in January 2014. I have downloaded two .dmg files - and neither will load!! I downloaded the first from www.blurb.com. It's called booksmart. But, after I've downloaded the file, I notice that Finder has it listed as a "document file" ??!? What do I do?? thanks

TextileMama,
have you tried renaming booksmart to booksmart.dmg, to see if Finder then considers it executable?

Step by Step to fix your Mac

My Macbook Pro won't open Photoshop CS6 ever since I installed OS X Mavericks. What should I do?

Also, I haven't seen any updates for OS X Mavericks on the app store, though maybe I'm wrong? I'm just really frustrated and disappointed with this update and would be willing to even uninstall it if I knew how.

Restore disks? If none are included there may be some bad news for you, Im about to install this on my imac but not my macbook air, why? Because I was told laptops work a bit differently than desktops. If a new OS is installed, it will over ride the partition on the hard drive where the old OS was. If that is the case, you cannot revert back unless you completely wipe out your hard drive and reinstall from a disk.

Dreamweaver CS5 on Retina Macbook Pro - Won't open

I was directed here from my previous forum post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4763592#4763592
Basically, when I install Dreamweaver CS5 on my rMBP, nothing happens. When I go to /Users/name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5 I have no language folders, or anything else for that matter.
I have redownloaded the dmg file multiple times, reinstalled multiple times, etc. I have tried every fix that I've found except for resetting the configuration folder in en-US, but only because that folder does not exist
Thoughts?

The screen resolution cannot be set by number (800x600 or whatever) is can only be set to 'scales'
I tried various settings, tried loading my existing install, and still had no success. Should I go to a large scale and try reinstalling it?

Textedit won't open. Hangs eating 100% of CPU, works on other User account

Hey everyone,
This is driving me mad. Text edit will not open, if I click on it, it doesnt do anything, just a spinning beachball and the textedit process eats 100% of the cpu. I have to force quit the application. I have tried trashing the textedit plists, zapping pram, even unpacking a textedit app from the Snow leopard install disk using pacisifist. And of course, I have repaired permissions and disks. NOTHING is working. I made a test user account, and text edit works perfectly there. I am at my wits end, any ideas?
Thanks!

HA! Thanks for the response, but I finally figured it out last night. You'll never guess what it was. I was just fed up and let the computer chug away at 100% for about five minutes. FINALLY the text pad came up with 1,400 page document that was just total gibberish...guess it had it from a cache, but god knows from what. Anyways, just closed that and all was good. Thanks for your help though!
