Macbook won't access a secure https Citrix website

My Macbook won't access a secure Citrix https site i need for my work on my home broadband connection, although it works fine on some other internet connections. I'm with Virgin broadband, and I think it might be something to do with proxy settings but not sure. It works fine at my friend's house who is on talk talk. If I type in the address, it just hangs and does nothing. Anyone know how to resolve this - it's driving me nuts!!

Thanks for the responses, and since my first post I have tried a few things. Both
connecting directly via ethernet, and using the MacBook back at my place on my wireless network work fine!
A few of the offending sites are www.guardian.co.uk and www.johnlewis.com
I think I must try to get the firmware checked and updated on this router..

  • Safari can not access any secure (HTTPS) web pages

    Does anyone have an idea why a good frined of mine using Safari 1.3.2 on a Power Book G4 with Mac OS 10.3.9 can not access any secure web pages (those that start with HTTPS)? I can not find any preferences that might control this. She can access the pages with IE but not Safari. What setting on her computer might control this? Any ideas would be appreciated. I even through away (com.apple.Safari.plist) file. Not change. An ideas??

    I have the same problem! However, this is ONLY while running wireless internet. Anytime I want to use an HTTPS site, I have to plug directly into my router, so I'm not wireless anymore, and then it works fine. Every now and then (like maybe 5% of the time), I get lucky and it will work for a short while such as logging into yahoo mail for example (logging into here didn't work at first but after waiting a bit, i was able to log in), but trying to stay on a secure connection such as a bank accnt. is impossible.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Everyone I've asked says they've never had the problem. I thought I was the only one.
    I checked my proxy settings -- nothing is checked. I've tried deleting preferences and I reset safari often.

  • OS X10.4.11 update, Safari won't connect to secure (HTTPS) URLs

    Didn't find any discussion of this particular symptom of the update, so thought I'd ask.
    Installed 10.4.11 update over the weekend, which contained Safari v3.0.4. After the (uneventful) install and reboot, I'm unable to connect to any secure (HTTPS) URL. Browser seems to work on non-secure connections (HTTP). My FIREFOX browser on the same machine still works.
    Haven't experienced any crashing or other OS issues, only the "Can't make a secure connection" with Safari (so far).
    Suggestions would be appreciated.

    Did you recently install the latest Security upgrade, but did not "repair permissions" on the restart? If so, that's your answer. I have found it essential to "Repair permissions" before and after any Apple system update, or Security update. Otherwise oddities may appear in the operating system.
    Also, sometimes reapplying the Combo Update specific to your current version of OS X remedies these types of problems. Here too, it's important to "repair permissions" etc.

  • SL5 client accessing an secured (HTTPS) Odata service

    I have a SL5 client that is hosted on Windows Azure.
    I have some OData WCF services that work perfectly fine. Calling the odata services from the SL5 client works fine both running locally and remotely on Azure. The problem is https. I've uploaded the bought certificate and I can call the odata wcf services
    secure by using https from Fiddler2 and it gets the proper results.
    When I run the SL5 client locally in my VS2012 environment it also works fine calling the https endpoint. After deployment to Windows Azure the client stops working and the calls to the https endpoints don't work anymore :-(
    anybody has a clue?

    hi RiccardoBecker,
    Thanks for posting!
    Base on my experience, when hosted WCF service on windows azure, we could use Service Bus (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee173579.aspx )to access
    it  on client side in intranet or internet. So if you used in intranet, I suggest you could create service bus to access it. Or if you use internet, I suggest you check your endpoint address setting. You need use your cloud address to access
    wcf service on client side. You could download those code sample (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/CSAzureWCFServices-20c7d9c5 &
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/188464/Host-WCF-Services-in-an-Azure-Worker-Role ) and try it.
    Any question, please let me know.

  • MacBook won't access dock??

    Hi,
    Having my first problem with my MacBook (10.4.6 or 7 - not sure which!) and looking for some first-level advice.
    It starts OK, except at the end of the process I can see my usual screen, and I can move the cursor with the trackpad, but can't select anything, and the dock doesn't appear when I move the cursor over the bottom of the screen.
    I've run disk utility by starting it in Firewire target mode via another mac, and that reported no problems.
    I've also attempted to attach an apple usb mouse in case it was a trackpad problem, but the cursor doesn't even move when I do this.
    Any suggestions would be welsome.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Restart in Safe Mode again and then
    • Navigate to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart normally and test your applications.
    • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)

  • If my MacBook won't start, is there a way to access my data without replacing the battery? Someone mentioned removing the hard drive?

    I'm assuming that my MacBook won't start because it's been spilled on... It's happened once before and when I brought it in, all that was needed was a battery replacement. I have a brand new MacBook Pro and all I really want is my pictures, videos, music & other documents from my old MacBook.. Is there a way of getting all of that without buying a new battery, and then using Mavericks to switch over everything? A friend suggested that I just get all of it from the hard drive, but I don't really know much about that. Help?

    If you can take the computer to somewhere or someone who has a known-good battery, and if the MacBook is dry, you could tell in quick order if a replacement battery would be worth it. Likely, you won't have been as fortunate more than once; electricity and water don't mix well, and short circuited or fried electronics result.
    {There used to be a way to access one Mac from another if you could get the bad one to boot into Target Disk mode, but Intel-based macs didn't always work; they both needed FireWire ports & correct cable. If In an enclosure, you may be able to use a migration assistant utility.}
    An authorized service tech with Apple certification in portable computers should be able to remove the internal hard disk drive, install it into an external enclosure, & test it, for a fee; once in an enclosure it may be accessed to see if the hard drive's data files on the drive, or at least sees them. Labor + parts?
    Once the hard disk drive is removed, your user files would still have whatever account password protection needed to access them, but there are ways to migrate data from drives into another computer; in some cases the information on this may be tilted toward using a device you don't have, such as a Time Machine. If the data had been backed up on a Time Machine, it may have been possible to get it from that device using a method available in a Support article and put directly into another Mac.
    If the computer has failed due to contact with moisture or a drink pouring over it, more than once, it may require more than a new battery to see if it'd work well enough to run and get data from its hard disk drive. You may pay quite a bit of money to have someone do anything at all.
    How long ago did the MacBook get wet again? If several weeks ago, it may be dry inside. But may be damaged and the main logic board short-circuited or toast. So, it may not work even with the MagSafe attached due to other damages beyond a new battery. That could be a waste of money to buy one.
    There are repair guides at http://ifixit.com which may help you determine if you can extract the HDD from the failed MacBook, but even then you'd have to install it into a suitable USB enclosure to gain access to data. Some drive enclosures already have a hard disk drive inside, so try and get one that would work with the MacBook's SATA hard disk drive, and with no HDD installed. One less thing to do.
    So I know only enough about it to be dangerous.
    And to troubleshoot the old MacBook may not
    be worth the cost, if logicboard now is toasted.
    Maybe someone else can say it direct w/ less words? LOL
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • My Macbook won't boot up because there isn't enough free space for my start up disk. It's now stuck on a blue screen. How am I meant to delete files to free up space if I can't access the computer?

    My Macbook won't boot up because there sin't enough free space to run the startup disk. My Macbook now won't go past the blue screen so exactly how am I meant to be able to delete files if I can't access the computer?

    Do you have a bootable backup?
    What operating system are you running? If OS X 10.6 or lower, boot from your original OS X DVD or a retail OS X DVD and then delete files as needed. Your goal should be to get to 10% of your disk capacity free.
    If you have OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, you don't have many choices in recovery mode (boot holding the command and r keys down).
    If you have a FireWire or Thunderbolt connection, you can try target disk mode with another mac.
    If none of those work, perhaps your local Apple store can help with a bootable external drive.

  • Problem Using GetNetText when accessing secured (https) sites

    I have been having trouble getting GetNetText &
    PostNetText to work with a secured (https) server. I need to
    execute PHP files located on this server. I have heard of SecureNet
    Xtra but before I try it I want to ask if there are other ways to
    do this. Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to access secure sites when running in
    Shockwave but
    not from a projector. Like you suggested, you'll need the
    SecureNet xtra

  • Trouble accessing secure (https) sites

    I recently installed Leopard and upgraded to 10.5.1.
    I am now having trouble accessing most secure sites. I've tried the following:
    -Used different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Flock)
    -Emptied the cache (on all browsers)
    -Turned off the Mac OS X Firewall
    The problem persists on different routers/ISPs and I am able to access the site using a different computer (running Windows XP) on the same connection.
    Again, it is most connections on secure servers, but there are odd exceptions (such as logging into this discussions forum).
    I appreciate your help.

    The browser will immediately display a message stating that it cannot connect to the server, such as:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wamu.com/” because it can’t find the server “online.wamu.com”.
    Other sites that give the same error:
    https://store.apple.com/
    https://login.byu.edu/
    It shouldn't be a server related problem since I can access the same sites from other computers running Windows or Leopard on the same or different connection.

  • My Macbook won't allow me to delete files that's in my trash! ㅠㅠ

    Info about my MaBook
    OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    So basically my Macbook won't let me delete things off my hard drive. I'm quite new to MacBook (I got it a week ago) and I've just realised that when you have a hard drive, when you delete things off it, you have to drag it to trash and then "secure empty trash it." Whenever I do that "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items" pops up and I don't know what to do!  
    I haven't broken it right?
    I don't know if this is useful but the hard drive I am using is "G-Technology G-DRIVE Mobile USB 3.0 1 TB External Drive - Special Edition," I got it from Apple... err here's the link - http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HF113ZM/A/g-technology-g-drive-mobile-usb-30-1 -tb-external-drive-special-edition?fnode…
    I don't know if this is helpful either but I also re-formated the hard drive into ExFAT

    You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
    If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete?

  • Macbook won't wake from sleep

    My macbook won't wake from sleep.  I have to power down and restart.  I have also noticed that when it is asleep, the sleep indicator light doesn't pulse, it just stays on steady.  Could this be a bug in mavericks?  I have a Seagate external hard drive that I use for my Time Machine backups that it always connected.  But ejecting it before the macbook goes to sleep doesn't seem to solve the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    You can access System Logs and other information on the computer's status in Console utility; where there are endless lists of all the processes ongoing in the Mac OS X. There are specific log-out and other automatic items the system will post to such logs.
    •OS X:  When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
    Such articles are helpful in so much as they also have additional links.
    Perhaps the computer is not going to sleep. The system logs can tell this.
    Regarding power management, sleep, and other activities, have you read through the article about the System Management Controller to see if any of the items listed there can help? They'd take time to go through the list. And the end item is a reset of the SMC, after reading through and troubleshooting from the list.
    •Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    A good idea is to make a backup of your content in the computer, to an external hard disk drive, so when or if you end up totally erasing the hard disk drive (to include secure erase one-pass overwrite) and reformat GUID, that an all new system could be installed on there, in part of a larger troubleshooting effort.
    Actually, if you have an externally enclosed hard disk drive with its own power supply, (not port power) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner (see Bombich software) to make a bootable clone of your entire system to a large enough external drive capable of booting in OS X, then you could get to the bottom of this issue. While keeping a boot copy of what you already have, because you can run the computer from an external clone.
    •Mac Backup - Carbon Copy Cloner:
    http://bombich.com/
    A good source for external drives that can handle clones
    is macsales; or a place to look to compare real details.
    The problem could be based in software, or in hardware. Troubleshooting against either possibility is how to resolve this problem. Some models of earlier MacBook & other intel-based Macs do not really like Mavericks; or perhaps like it less than an earlier system it may have shipped with. The earliest like Snow Leopard best.
    Anyway, there is a solution but it won't be a one-liner.
    I've done some 40 hour days, troubleshooting issues.
    Worst problem for me was buying one w/Applecare.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I need to connect to my work PC remotely from my macbook. I think I need the citrix software. But which version and what is the procedure?

    I need to connect to my work PC remotely from my macbook. I think I need the citrix software. But which version and what is the procedure?

    Probably don't need citrix software. Is you computer in the office on LAN? Also, is the office computer setup for remote access? If it's windows then its going to be running Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) natively. If it is in fact RDP that your windows machine at work is using then you need to download RDC for mac. I use it to connect to my work computer using RDP (don't tell the "Info Tech" dude at my office) and if your not too tech savvy I would suggest trying GOTOMYPC. It's alot easier to setup. But if you have experience in setting up remote access and your Windows office machine is connected through LAN and your IT TECH has allowed port forwarding then you should be just fine with RDP and it's free!!! But are you logging onto your actual computer at work or logging into the "SERVER" through your work machine... believe me it's two completely different things.
    Basically, you'll need:
    1. Physichal IP address of work computer. (If office computer is on WIFI this won't work) use IPCONFIG commands in command prompt
    2. Port forwarding needs to be enabled by your IT Tech
    3. Remote Desktop settings will need to be enabled on the office computer
    4. Download RDC for mac (search google)
    5. Type the physical IP address into RDC and hit connect... type in credentials and your all done.
    We need lots more details though... there are many ways to connect remotely and if your office already has a system in place for remote access then any details would be helpful in determining which method will suit you best. If it's citrix just have your IT dude set it up. If you think you need citrix then good luck....

  • Macbook won't start

    Macbook won't start up.  Sounds like disc drive is spinning but screen remains dark as though startup file is not booting.

    Did you also try reset of NVRAM/PRAM?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    When you tried the Command + Opt + P + R keys on restart, held almost
    immediately and through the time period it should chime on startup, did
    you keep holding those keys down, so as to force it to repeat the chime?
    You should do this (if possible to tell) through Three chimes, before you
    let those keys go; that would be indicative of a NVRAM/PRAM reset.
    Aside from the details and troubleshooting processes in the SMC reset
    article from Apple Support, that could shed some light on the issue, if
    these were done in their subscribed order before finally trying the SMC.
    Have you tried System Management Controller (SMC) reset more than once?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964  {and those other troubleshooting bits}
    Depending on which MacBook you have, the details may vary; with some
    you could try several items not possible with a later model, such as a hard
    reset of the computer (remove battery, hold power button, etc) and other
    details I am not going into now... Here's something that worked for this one:
    •My MacBook won't boot, no start chime, just DVD spinning sound:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/6271/My+MacBook+won%27t+boot,+no+start+chime, +just+the+DVD+spinning+sound.
    There are some ideas there which may help. At least as far as trouble-
    shooting. If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius Bar in the
    USA or Canada, you could call ahead for an appointment to have one
    of their staff genius tech persons diagnose and troubleshoot this issue.
    In other locations, there may be fees charged to accommodate services.
    Anyway, I an not certain what to suggest next.
