Macbook thinks it is abroad! - Unable to access UK Video content!

Dear all,
I would really appreciate your help!
I went to Portugal with my Macbook and tried to view MSN UK Video content in Safari. Understandably, it said I needed to be in the UK to view the content.
However, now I am here and back in the UK and the site still comes up with the same message thinking I am abroad!
I have reseted Safari and tried Firefox and it works in neither. Therefore I think there is something on my Mac or some setting that has changed to make sites believe I am still abroad?
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
George

Hi
You may need to play with your network settings: System Preferences > Network
For most people, the correct location to choose is called Automatic. If you select this and go into Advanced then the TCP/IP page should show "Using DHCP".
If you have a standard set up with a wireless router, then your IP address should be 192.168.x.x and your router should also be 192.168.x.x but with a different final number(s).
Unfortunately, it's difficult to be specific because there are so many variations.

Greetings,
It's possible there's a cookie still present, but if you reset Safari and chose to remove all cookies and history, it should be gone. If you didn't do that, then you should, and test it again.

I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?
It is an old macbook pro probably 6yo with the back lit keys - not under applecare anymore obviously. I downloaded the upgrade last night which took quite a while longer than it should have.
Anyone else experienced this and can suggest something? many thanks Jo

Run Software Update, wait till all the updates have finished downloading then restart the mac.

Unable to access external video file after publishing in html5

I am trying to publish a project that contains links to external files (.mp4 videos). After publishing, I get an path error message when I try to run the videos after publishing. The references to the videos are by name without any paths specified.
When I published the file the videos reside in the same folder as the captivate project file.
The instructions say copy the files to the output folder after I publish as html5.
What I did was extract the zip folder
Place the videos in the parent folder after extraction.
Ran the project. It runs except for the video execution.
There are a number of folders when the zip file is extracted.
Am I placing the videos in the right folder?

I personally prefer to get my files up on the server and link directly to them in Captivate.
Are you putting your's in the root folder of your project? eg. /projectname/... instead of/projectname/callees/ ?

Accessing purchased video content via cloud on iPad iOS5

I can see all my music via cloud on iTunes on iPad iOS5 but can't see video. The iTunes app doesn't give me the option to switch to video on "purchased" tab. Anyone know a fix? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I meant TV shows. They aren't visible with the music. The support section on the Apple site says I should see the option to switch between video and music on the "purchased" tab on iTunes (iPad).

Touchsmart Iq506t Windows 7, Unable to acess s-video input from windows media center.

System: Hp Touchsmart IQ506T
Windows 7
Avermedia (A327) Hybrid mini Pcie Tv Tuner (NTSC/ATSC)
I purchase this system used without an operating system. I installed windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from Hp. All drivers are installed properly and the Avermedia (A327) mini card driver can be seen in device manager.
Yet, the A327 tv tuner will not give me access to the s-video input. I can get tv thru the rf connection but I want to use the s-video because it has a cleaner signal.
Any information about the s-video port will be appreciated..
Thank you..

Hi Cnmarsh,
I understand you are having an issue with the Touchsmart Iq506t with Windows 7, unable to access s-video input from Windows Media Center.
I read from your post that drivers are installed properly and the Aver media mini card drivers are seen in device manager.
I was wondering if the any of the drivers in Device Manager have a Yellow caution?
Also, is the Touchsmart Iq506t software all up to date?
You could try to download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool with this link.

I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

I am unable to access intranet on my MacBook Pro 13" with OS X mavericks. Is it possible to use files on the Local Area Network? I use the files on the Local Area Network on my windows computer by typing in the I.P address in the library. Kindly guide me how i can use these files stored over the Local Area Network.

I disabled GateKeeper's automatic blocking of unrecognised developers, and so I was able to install the driver.
The Mobile Connect program is now installed, but the computer still does not recognise the modem.
I also borrowed a USB hub from a friend and it didn't make a difference.

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

Macbook pro unable to access websites through browsers

My macbook pro is unable to access websites through web browsers. Chrome & Safari. It is connected to the internet but for some reason I cannot access any webpages. Does anyone know what the cause of this may be and a fix? Thanks!

After updating my iPad to IOS 8.1.2, I am unable to access the Cloud with my password, even though it worked on my Macmini. I changed the password and it still does not work on the iPad. What can I do to get iPad to recognize my Apple ID/password account?

I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

Unable to Access Web Site (with same name) outside of Local Network

Hi everyone,
I have my web site (and some other services) hosted outside of my network by my hosting provider, but handle all other items using OS X Server on my network (i.e. Wiki and so forth).
The problem is now that I am unable to access my website at www.mydomain.com from within the network. I have external DNS set up for www.mydomain.com to point to my website, while mydomain.com points to my OS X Server (static IP address). Internally in OS X Server's DNS settings this used to work when I had www.mydomain.com resolving to the IP address of my web host, in addition to the default domain settings that OS X had set up. For some reason this is no longer working, and I am unable to figure out why.
Using latest version of OS X Server 3.0.2.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Update: this ended up being a redirect issue on the web host. I added another subdomain that was hosted externally, and it worked fine. For some reason my web host is redirecting www.mydomain.com to domain.com.

I am in Texas and cannot get to that site either. Do you know for sure the site is up and working? It could just be down (for days, a site I support was down for almost 4 full days a few weeks ago due to a virus problem).
This may (again, may) be your problem: I see you have a173.48.x.x (you really should x-out the last two octets of your IP address for privacy reasons), I am on a 173.74.x.x address; I know some people have had problems with getting to some sites now that they have a 173.x.x.x address. I think Verizon obtained addresses in that range and some of the addresses apparently previously belonged to spammers or some malicious folks.Some sites (web sites, intermeidate routers, etc.) blocked those addresses, and may not have updated their filters to remove the block on those addresses because they don't know that Verizon now owns them. If this is the problem, eventually those filters will get updated and you will be able to access the site, but this could be a fairly long time.
If you know how to contact that site I suggest you email them about the problem. You can also try turning off your router overnight and when you turn it back on the next day you may find that you have a different address (one that doesn't start with 173) that will allow you to get to the site.
I don't think there is much Verizon can do to help, it is not their site that is blocking your address (at least I don't think it is).
Hope this helps.

Hi, I recently left my computer on my car and drove into heavy traffic. After several hundred cars ran it over, I noted than I was unable to access my previously purchased copy of Photoshop Elements 10. How can I download a replacement copy?

It's true. I was loaded down like a mule, approaching my car, needing a free hand, and thinking "I'll just set this on the roof for a moment..."
I drove about 1/2 mile and turned left into rush-hour traffic. No sound, no horns, no frantic hand gestures from fellow drivers, and no sinking feeling whatsoever for several minutes. And then like that sudden stop at the end of long fall, it hit me. I quickly turned around as though haste may matter - and it did. Had five more minutes passed, there'd have been nothing larger than a grain-of-sand-sized evidence that my computer had once existed. For the next 30 minutes, I dodged many hundreds of cars in my firm commitment to gather every last one of the 2,653 pieces that I would need for a successful reassembling.
At some point during my repair attempt, I noted that I was unable to access my previously purchased copies of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.
And since Dell.com's record of this purchase was apparently destroyed that day as well, I'm at a loss. Unless... "Ok, maybe I actually registered this purchase at Adobe.com... But that would be weird as I never do such things in the name of maintaining privacy at every chance I encounter... But, I'll try... yep, 'Forgot your password,' Click... of, 'Follow this link,' Click... Minor rush that it might work... Hope fading fast... Gone!"
When the only proof of purchase I can present is my promise that I did once purchase, is it possible for me to download these two programs without having to re-purchase?
I lost a lot of things that day... money, work, memories, la la la. Apparently I've now lost my dignity as well as I plead with some faceless corporation for a freebie.
Does anyone at Adobe have a heart? If so, I would invest my gratitude towards your benefit for the remainder of my years.

As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10
If you don't know your serial number:
