No internet related programs will launch

okay,
I recently had issues with one of the accounts on my macbook. It would go to the login screen, then attempt to boot and merely end up back at the login screen. I troubleshot it, and ran the repair utility from a different account on the comp. Once I was done with that I updated to 10.4.11. Now nothing involving the internet will work. Safari, apple help, and comp games. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi Mattherin, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell at this point, but...
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot.
If using Airport...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
Where does that leave us?

None of our CS6 programs will launch

I cannot launch any or our nonprofit's Adobe CS6 products all of a sudden. I am not sure if it had anything to do wiith a huge bunch of Windows Updates I had to preform yesterday... like 23 updates I believe. I thought it was only an Adobe AcrobatX Pro problem since suddenly I could not view online PDF's in my browsers. I ran the fix I found online for that from step #1 here; http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html
I ran AcroFix three times. It finally decided it would work on Firefox at least so I thought all was solved. Now none of outr CS6 programs will launch. So I looked down to step #3 from that same link called Solution 3: Reactivate Acrobat through another Suite product
It says to;
Launch a CS6 Suite product.
Choose Help > Deactivate. Follow the onscreen prompts to deactivate.
Close the application.
Launch the same CS6 Suite product again.
Accept the EULA.
Sign in with your Adobe ID to register trial.
Restart the application.
The problem is none of the CS6 applications will open! I get an error on every one that says; the program has stopped working and ut checks fr a problem, the says Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is available. BLAH!!!!
What do we do now?
If it involves the upates I can reverse them or do a system restore if I hear back quickly enough,but Adobe needs to know and do something quickly because no way will I be alone. These were all updates to Windows x64 based systems that showed up on Novermber 14, 2013

probably nothing helpful. migrating adobe apps doesn't always work, and if it doesn't work you're better off uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling per, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Internet related software not launching

I've recently reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4 on my PowerBook G4 and updated the software to 10.4.11 via Software Update. However, having done so, all the System's internet related software (i.e. Mail, Safari, Software Update, iChat, .Mac System Prefs) will no longer launch.
The applications will bounce momentarily in the dock, then disappear without an error message. In System Preferences, the Software Update and .Mac preferences panes refuse to open, simply stating, for example "Preferences Error / Could not load Software Update"
Using Firefox and Thunderbird is possible but I'm unable to update the system software and unable to sync with my mobileMe account which is a major problem.

Hi carlnp, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

CS3 None of the programs will launch

I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
This happens with all of the programs in the suite if they even try to launch - sometimes nothing happens. All programs previously worked. No changes in the system set up that I am aware of.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to do the restore only to find that the previous user had disabled restore so that there were no previous restore points to use.
I did get it working again though. I think I went to add remove programs and it prompted me to do a "repair" it went through that routine (at least an hours time) and then it started working again. Program by program the status indicator said it was "repairing".

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

I was able to resolve this issue by performing following.
1. Go to the location where sqldeveloperW.exe is being executed from.
2. You will find a file sqldeveloper.conf in that location. Edit this file and change the value of IncludeConfFile to point to actual place. For me following were old and new values.
OLD (Wrong) : IncludeConfFile ../../jdev/bin/ide.conf
NEW (Correct) : IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf
After making above change in the sqldeveloper.conf file. Save and close it. Restart SQLDeveloper. You will not get the error anymore.
Thanks

First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

After downloading updates, the program will not launch

When Firefox does an update automatically, the program stops launching altogether. I have had to do a complete reinstall and that worked until the automatic update happened again tonight.

A few details would help here. What kind of computer? What operating system is it running? What version of iTunes was running previously? Was there an error during installation? What actually happens when you try to launch iTunes now?
Let us know we will keep working with you.
Best of luck.

Internet Explorer 11 will not open Embedded links or update application software., Open a blank page

Hello,
I have a customer with a brand new HP workstation and the same thing is happening here.
Doing a search in Norton Toolbar and then clicking on one of the results it opens a new IE page but the page is completely blank, including the tab at the top to identify the page. Also when using a tax software program that is running from a web browser
and clicking on an update it does the same thing.
When logging onto Online Banking and if you click on a transaction to view a deposit or a check it will not open that item.
The computer was installed 15 days ago. The first time we installed Office 2013 it asked to activate the product over the Internet. It would not connect to the Microsoft servers to validate the new product. OF course we had to call(phone) it in to validate.
There are more examples of "On Line" things not working properly, these are just a few.
Should I uninstall IE 11 and install IE10.
So Far I have disabled all add-ons, reset IE, Ran a full viruscan - Results Clean (N360). Customer does use the password feature in Norton 360, i beleive it is called the "Vault".
I did uninstall IE 11 and Norton 360. Installed IE 11 on and the same results. Then I installed N360 back on.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Customer does not want Chrome installed>

Hi,
the first step in troubleshooting web browser issues is to test in noAddons mode.
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (noAddons)
In your customers case you should also try navigating to the URL by typing it directly in the IE address bar.... (when asking internet related questions please include the complete address to any web pages you are having issues with).
It seems plausible that in this case a configuration of the Nortons security suite or toolbar may be causing the issue.... Without an example link we cannot test the site in question. The Nortons toolbar is probably using google as a search results provider.
To completely remove Norton 360 from the computer you need to download the N360 removal tool.
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us
have your tried support.norton.com?
you could try
a Reset IE Settings... (Advanced tab of Internet Options)
a Reset of IE security zone settings (Security tab of Internet Options>click "Reset all zones to default", then the Trusted sites icon, sites button....remove any domains from the trusted sites list.) (MSIE browsers have a security setting to prevent
navigation into zones of lower integrity).
Again... without a link to the website youre client is having issues with we can only guess.

Java Internet related projects ??

I am looking at a project to develop various Internet related applications/applets. However I am having trouble finding beginner type tutorials and such. I have decided to go for a port scanning app mainly because I cannot think of anything else to do in this area of programming. Just wondering if anyone knew of any sites/tutorials for this type of this stuff.
I have just finished reading exactly how the Internet works which has I'm sure will help me.
However I also need advice on what to go for in terms of a simple project and then building on that.
I was thinking of an IP address utility, port scanner but what else is there? Peer to peer perhaps?
Any advice on this area would be very grateful as my searches have come up fruitless on the various search engines although I got some decent code for a port scanner but not where to begin writing one yourself.
I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong area, I am guessing it is the correct one though :)

Just select a 'real application' - something that you personally want to do - otherwise projects in the abstract never work.

I have The latest Firefox installed on an older Dell, and the CA security suite thru my ISP, which takes all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access it's features. I need a free internet security program that does tax my system so much

Have older Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I have installed CA security suite from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% of CPU on start-up & shut down, slowing everthing to a snails pace. I have removed evrything I don't need using 30 day free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access CA's Firewall to add programs to the exception rule, it will open, then freezes along with Firefox tabs and anything else. Can't even shut down from start menu. I want to get rid of CA(although it is a good program, it's too big), and go back to using my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other free internet security program that is easy, runs in the background and doesn't take all my resources and isn't just a 30 day free trial till you buy the program. I am also trying to install a wireless adapter so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Trying to access CA security Suite Firewall

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

PS and LR CC, neither app will launch...

Just bought and installed PS and LR via CC both apps installed and are in the correct win dir. Neither app will launch (tho PS does very quickly flash the splash screen before closing). I have tried the fix at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately-launch.html, it did not work. I done a system restore and went trough the whole CC install process again, but still LR nor PS will open.I have tried disconnecting from the internet before launch but also with no success. Have updated graphic the card driver and have all the latest windows drivers installed. Have spent many hours now trying to find a fix. Any ideas?
