My website won't go online

I recently started hosting my site using Lion Server. It's my first experience administering a server, so I'm kind of new to this.
I added a new server, my site's domain name, to the server list, alongside imac.local, my own computer. I then added Web to the list of public services. When I visit my site, I get a server timeout message after a minute. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I should mention that the server's root folder is the folder with my site's contents, and that my registar is configured to accept connections from my server.
Any help is greatly appreciated; if you don't have an answer, could you suggest a more specialized community board (i.e. another site)?

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

After upgrading to Mavericks, some websites won't load (using wifi)?

Hey guys,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Mavericks last December. I had some problems when loading some websites (such as eBay, Society6, etc) while I was at home using my home wifi in Indonesia. It's like, sometimes these websites won't load, but sometimes they do.
I've tried different browsers and it's still the same. I thought, it was just the wifi at my home in Indonesia that's problematic, because at work (using cable), the internet's just fine. But THEN, I am now here in Australia, I don't usually have problems with my aprtment's wifi at all, but now it's doing that thing. Some websites won't load properly or won't load at all. I realized that this is most likely has something to do with my laptop (ie. upgrading to Mavericks. I've never had this problem before), because the wifi works just fine with my smartphone and my iPod.
Has anyone encountered similar problem? How do you fix this?
Thanks so much,
S

Hello sharlegit
Try creating a new network location and test to see if the same thing happens of certain websites not working.

It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

Hi,
Have you tried working through this document - it does apply to Elements as well.

Mail keeps asking for password but won't go online

I am having multiple problems with passwords on my MB Pro -- FYI running 10.9. Just fixed a problem with being unable to get into my admin account because I didn't know the password; got that fixed then had problems with keychains - still having. Keeps asking if I want to go back to default keychain (don't get the keychain thing as it is). Now both emails are offline and Mail keeps asking me to enter passwords but then it won't go online. could use some advice or links to fixes

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Maps3.0 on 5800 won't go online

I've installed maps 3.0 (3.0.1 really) on my 5800. Worked fine except it won't go online, and unlike some people it seems I definitely want it to go online! Basically when I tap on the "go online" entry, on the tools menu, nothing happens! If I select "Traffic Info/Update traffic info", I get asked "Go online now?" and get a reply of "Internet usage disabled".
I tried downgrading to 2.0, where the connection worked, and then re-installing. To no avail.
I posted a message a few months back about an issue where the Destinations/Internet setting fails to work, which I assume is because the settings are corrupted. I never got a reply, and never solved it, but I'm wondering if it is related.

do you have the latest firmware on your device? it works like a charm on my n97 so there is no reason why it should not do well on your device. try also restoring factory settings *#7780# you will not lose any data, but if you have to update your firmware it is always a good idea to update your phone. delete cities folder on your memory card or whereever you store it and try a fresh reinstall again. it took me two times to install ovi 3.0 on my device. don't get discouraged. if this continues to be an issue after all that, i would consider taking it to nokia care let them have a look at it. but do all those things first and see.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

My hp computer won't go online on wifi

I have an HP15. Only have had it for a week, all of a sudden it won't get online and I know my modem and router is working because every other device is able to get online. After restarting computer, it has a message that pops up with the command prompt. In the message box it says:<br>Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Toni\AppData\Local\browser extensions\client.exe' Make sure you typed te name correctly, and then try again.<br>What do I do to fix this problem?

If you are running an anti virus, it may have detected and partialy removes the offending program. The program may have messed with your internet proxy settings to route all traffic through it, and when the program got deleted the proxy is now not talking to anything.

Imap accounts won't go online

A very strange thing started to happen to my Macbook Pro since yesterday. My Imap accounts won't go online. My internet is working fine. My POP accounts sync normally. When I try to put the Imap accounts online Mail gives me the following message "error 51 - network is unreacheable". I have no idea of how to correct this.
Thanks for helping,

Well, I don’t know what could be the problem either, but something to look at is that there is nothing wrong with your network settings.
In particular, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that makes a difference -- if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.

Mac Mail won't go online

I am using a MAC PRO version 10.6.7, I recently went with Charter cable and opened a new e-mail account with charter. The mailbox worked fine with embarqmail and Gmail but it won't go online with Charter and I can't send mail unless I go online and sign into Charter. Is there a fix or just quit Charter and go back to satellite?

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: "The server responded with “500” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."

OK Now I can answer my own question. The incomprehensible (inexcusably geeky) error message is actually Apple language for saying simply: "The iCloud servers are down again. Please wait until we've fixed them." I found this out by talking to Apple support. It took about 12 hours for the iCloud server synching calendars to come back online. When they did, my calendar reloaded, and everything was fine.

Skype won't go online

Try first to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Apps won't go online

A number of my apps won't go online today via WiFi. Anyone know what would cause this? For Example What's On? (TV grids) say "No Data Available - No schedule data is currently available for the selected day. Please try again later.".
The App store connects but when I try to download some app updates it says "Cannot connect to the store - A secure connection could not be established. Please check your Date & Time settings."
Several others give similar errors, but not all, some connect just fine. Everything in the calender looks normal and the time is adjusted online by itself. I've tried restarting the phone a couple of times with no change.

I solved it somehow. I plugged it into the dock and tried one and it worked, so I unplugged it and now everything worked.

Mail won't go online with IMAP but Exchange works

Mac mail has beeen working fine for me for many years. Last day or so all my non Exhcange accounts won't go online. I read through the forum. I have checked the connection doctor. It is "unable to contact server". I tried network utility to port scan the IMAPS port. That worked just fine. I do have a software firewall called Little Snitch. I checked all the rules in there. There are no block rules for mac Mail. I also dissabled the the firewall with no results. I was hoping to get my primary gmail account working. So I removed it and re-added it. No luck.
I think this problem may be related to SSL certificates. At work we have a firewall that does SSL termination. It has a self signed certificate on it. I have often gotten mismatched SSL warnings when picking up mail. I can't seem to find the SSL certificates anywhere on the mac so I don't know where to delete them. Removing and re-adding the gmail account should have refreshed the SSL certificate. So thism may not be the issue.
Any suggestions would really help.

Rebooting the Mac fixed the problem. I have no idea why. Still unable to locate the mail ssl certificates.

Triple-click the word "telnet" in the line below on this page to select the whole line:

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You should almost instantly get three or more lines of output below what you entered, one of which is this:
Escape character is '^]'.
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. If you get something different from the above, please post it in a reply. You can then quit Terminal.
