MacBookpro Receiving pop up warnings: Error: Unable to establish a secure connection to pop.mail....etc. because the correct root certificate is not installed. Help needed please.

My Entourage is very slow and 2 Error pop ups (above) are showing. Additionaly, a warning about the start up disc being full. I decided to back up to an external HD.When backing up I was surprised to see 9.4GB in the catagory named 'Other'. Ive probably got too much junk stored here (unless it could be imovie files?). If I could see what was in 'Other', and delete what I dont need, this may be the answer to freeing up more space. The next big file I have is under 'Pictures' which is 1.7GB. I have never downloaded any video or Youtube stuff.
This is my first experience on this forum.

Apple in their glorious wisdom did not update the root certificates for users of 10.5, only for 10.6 and later.
You'll need to make some changes, open your Keychain Access in your Applicaitons or Utilitties folder.
Delete the compromised DigiNotar root certificates, also change the KeyChain Access preferences > Certificates to
Best Attempt
Best Attempt
Require Both
Because the Certificate Autorities themselves are being attacked, you need the most recent and varied source of valid certificates so your comptuer does the best it can to verify the site your visiting is legitiment.
Also make sure the time and date on your computer is accurate and updated with Apple's time severs, allow any such time requests out your outgoing firewall (aka LittleSnitch)
You might decide to upgrade to 10.6, it's the best OS version for users of Intel Mac's, strips out the PowerPC code your not using and improved video drivers for better graphics performance. It should run most of your 10.5 software with just minor updates at most.
Please backup your data off the machine (not TimeMachine) before doing anything as you might need to wipe the drive if the upgrade doesn't go correctly.

However OS X Lion 10.7 is a radical change, won't run your older software or drivers and likely be slow on most older hardware. I'd advise against installing it, buy it with a new machine instead.

Why am I getting an error "Unable to establish a secure connection with (mail server)"? And what can I do?

I'm trying to set up email on my Firefox OS Flame (OS is Boot2Gecko 2.0.0.0-prerelease) and getting an error:
Unable to establish a secure connection with mail.velociraptor.info
I'm on Dreamhost, the certificate belongs to `*.dreamhost.com` but I'm not even sure this is a certificate error, and if it is, how I'd go about fixing it. I found the Certificate Manger, but I don't know how to download the certificate and add it, and I don't know if this is even the problem.

If this is a self-signed certificate or one where the CA is not trusted on FFOS, you will get this error.
There is currently no proper user interface for adding certificates. You could have a look at the method described at this page: http://www.pending.io/add-cacert-root-certificate-to-firefox-os/
There are also several bugs open regarding this problem, e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=874346. They have additional information that could help you to find out, if this is the problem you are seeing.

OS X 10.6.1 Entourage (Unable to establish a secure connection to server)

I have Windows 2003 domain running Exchange, I have setup all my Apple clients n 10.6.1 on the domain using Directory Utility. Then I have installed Entourage 12.2.1. Once the account is setup and checks email it gives you that great error
"Unable to eatablish a secure connection to server-net.wan because the correct root vertificate is not installed"
Well silly me, I guess installing the root certificate that I created on the Server 2003 box and then installing the certificate with the OS X root account into the system keychain, the login keychain, and the MicrsoftIntermediateCertificates keychain was not enough. So after banging my head on this one and checking every where I figured it was time to post on Apple. So if someone has some great fix I will bow down to you and kiss your feet
Thanks,
Joey T.

Hello, since nobody else has replied...
You'll need to download a Certificate from someone, not sure who exzctly, or maybe self sign one? Some onfo on that here...

I can no longer access facebook from my macair and when i try the following error message appears "unable to establish a secure connection to the server.

I have had no issue accessing Facebook in the past using my MacAir. Last night each time I would try and access the page, an error message would appear, saying that unable to establish a secure connection to the server "www.facebook.com"". The problem continues this morning. I have not updated any software or made any changes. One minute it was working, the next it was not. I do not have any parental controls; I have deleted the cookies; and I have reset safari. I can access all other websites that I have tried. I am using Version 6.0.4.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Now open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, restart your internet modem and router. Then quit and relaunch Safari and try Facebook.

"Safari is unable to establish a secure connection"

When I try to log in to bank or credit card accounts Safari will frequently display the above error. It resolves when I restart my computer, but only temporarily. Sometimes the error displays after I'm already logged in to an account and trying to make transfers/payments/etc.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution?

Hello B Noir,
Thank you for your suggestion. I did check the date, time and time zone and they are correct. I also was able to open the iTunes Store without any trouble. I actually had trouble getting back to this page, because I was getting the error message trying to open it, and had to reboot to reply to you. I realize that I didn't give any detail except to say it sounded like exactly the same problem that timiteo was having.
I installed updates to Safari 5.05, and OS security updates to 10.5.8 two days ago. Since then, Safari keeps getting hung up and/or giving me this error message:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://intuit.com/login/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “intuit.com”."
This happens on numerous websites and does not happen consistently. In other words, I just received the error message when I tried to open my gmail calendar from within gmail. Other times, it has opened without trouble, and after rebooting, I am now able to open it again (this is adding up to a lot of rebooting today).
I then installed Google Chrome (so I could get some work done), but after a short time, it started doing the same thing with this error message:
"SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error."
Once I get the message, then I can't do anything with the particular browser until I reboot, which solves the problem for a short while. Actually, once I see the message in one browser, it is sure to happen in the other browser right away as well. I had none of these problems before I installed the updates, so I'm wondering if there is some conflict in the 10.5.8 OS security updates, since it doesn't seem limited to Safari.
I'm not running any virus software on the Mac. I do have Parallels running a virtual Windows machine on the same laptop and I have Norton Antivirus running on Windows, but I don't even have Windows started up. I used to have Norton Antivirus running on the Mac "side" - but I uninstalled that months ago, because it was bogging everything down.
I appreciate any ideas you may have.

Hi Todd,

I just noticed in the ubbconfig snippet above that WSL refers to GROUPsys group and SRVID 1, but Server with SRVID = 1 is not in GROUPsys, it is in GROUP1. Anyhow, that probably doesn't even matter. does it?
I have updated the WSNADDR variable accordingly:

Error message cannot establish a secure connection ipad3

I'm trying to login into an IP camera via safari on the ipad3 and receive an error message " Safari cannot open page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server." I have made the same connection to the same IP camera on my Ipad2 without any problems or errors. As a matter of fact, I'm connected to ip camera on my IPad 2 as I type using the same wifi connection used with the IPad 3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hmm, no changes. Still the same issue. I deleted the files described, rebooted and reconfigured the network.
hmm, Finder still remembers his old server connection settings, maybe i should delete those, too. Any idea where finder stores his server connections?
In my perception the message that no secure connection can be established comes up immediately after sending the connect command. I don't think that there is network traffic, there is no noticeable latency...

Unable to establish a secure connection

I have a Time Capsule that we use as a wireless router. After my ISP changed out my cable modem, I now have faster Internet service, but none of my devices (Macbooks, iPads, iPhones) can access SOME secure sites. All other activity works fine. These sites ARE available using my mobile provider, so I know it isn't the sites. I have used both Safari and Firefox with the same result. The error message in Safari is that it "cannot establish a secure connection." No settings were changed with the Time Capsule -- only a new modem was connected. I have rebooted and run diagnostics to no avail.
Any suggestions?

The problem has been solved. It was a defective modem -- not the router!

A few weeks ago I had to reinstall itunes on my PC because the latest itunes update did not install properly. Ever since doing that something called Mobile Me keeps popping up whenever I open email (outlook) and slowing it down. How do I remove MobileMe

A few weeks ago an itunes upgrade did not install properly on my PC so I had to uninstall itunes and everything associated with it. I was able to reinstall itunes and it works fine including syncing with my ipod. However, now whenever I open my email (outlook) a box pops up stating MobileMe Services has stooped working. This happens a couple of times after I click to close the program. This a nusance and really slows down getting to my email. From what I've found MobileMe was something that used to be used by itunes to sync mobile devices but is no longer used by itunes. I can't find a way to remove this MobileMe from my PC. I've tried going into Contol Panel then Programs and Features to uninstall it but there is no button there to uninstall it. Any suggestions on how this can be removed?

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

Could be a issue with yahoo, or your ISP, or your new machine.
I would try again later and see if the issue clears itself up. Make sure your computer is updated via Software Update, this should give you the updated root system certificates.
Also head over to Keycahin Access>Preferences then Certificates and set Best Attempt, Best Attempt and Require Both for the three settings. This will make sure your certificates are well checked before using.
If your using a older machine, like 10.5, then there are no longer any root certificate updates from Apple.
I have all the same settings as my old Mac which worked fine but the new computer is giving me this error.
So it works fine on the older machine and not the newer.
Well it could be that becaue you installed Office 2008 (same license) on another machine that there are security issues at play to prevent a cloned machine from intercepting emails.

Hi Ckuan,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right?
This back up I made right before I restored my iphone. During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem.
Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted? If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
I found out why this is happening(with the Help of Oracle support), so updating it for future use.
Tuxedo uses random ports for clients that have connected to WSL listener. thats why my first error
152035.WEBAPP!?proc.4020.3152.0: LIBWSC_CAT:1064: ERROR: Unable to establish WSH connection 0x000221150afea683
was coming. this means (as per the documentations) that the WSL have accepted the connection but the next step of connecting to WSH is not done. which causes the above error.
The resolution can be 2 things.
1. Allow allow ports of Server or range of ports starting from port of WSL e.g. port WSNADDR port 7777 to 7777+2000 ports , so that clients can access the WSL port + 2000 ports
2. add a parameter on the tuxedo server ubb file to define a range of ports which can handle client requests. (most probably in the WSL CLOPT portion)
if your network has security and it only allows some ports to be accessed , u can get this error.
Thanks.

E5 will receive POP mail, but NOT send SMTP

I have a really baffling problem. I am trying to set up my own domain email with my device and I can get it to receive POP mail perfectly using my service providers details, but I can't get it to send mail with the SMTP detail (which I've checked are right and which work in my iPad)
I've sent it to port 25, and I am at my wits end, any suggestions., I am using a pop server from a different service provider but it shouldn't make any difference should it...??
ANy advice sought, thanks in advance

Hi Chip: I suspect that the wireless connection you are using is not the same internet provider you were using previously. Is this correct? Most, if not all Internet Service Providers do not permit sending from a different "SMTP' server. This would definitely cause the issue you are seeing
