Only Safari & receiving email works. All other apps can't connect to web

Frustrated is an understatement. I can only receive email and surf in a browser (Safari). Software Update, iTunes Store, MobileMe Sync, FTP software, applications that checks for updates, or anything else that tries to connect to the internet can't.
For example, iTunes error appears when I try to connect to the Store: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The host is down. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
I did the usual disk repair, repair permissions, and nothing worked. I checked my Airport Extreme settings and router. I tried the iTunes Store from another user, and the problem was the same.
I decided to archive and install the OS. This fixed it, but only for a day or so. Then, the problem returned. Aside from wiping the hard drive, I don't know what to do.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

Can any one help me, Please!
Many thanks!

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

IPhoto 6.0.6 (322) Will Not Print (all other apps can)

Good evening,
I automatically updated iPhoto to 6.0.6 (322) and now get this message when trying to print a picture:
"No pages from the document were selected to be printed."
I copied the message from the opened tab. All other apps can print.

jrrplie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after the iPhoto update? If no give it a go now. Also turn off photo sharing if you have it turned on in the iPhoto's prefs (longshot).
Also check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4214124&#4214124
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

T400 HELP!!! Only Fn key functions work, all other keys do not!

Everything was working fine till i was in my browser and somehow hit spacebar only find that the screen has been magnified. From then on only keys with Fn function(light blue keys) worked; I have tried (Fn+Num Lk), (Fn+Scr Lk), (<right,left>shift+f10/f11), rolling back to previous backup, rebooting. Nothing works!! I tried these commands in the on-screen keyboard but there is no way to use the fn key, it does not have one. I have uninstalled the keyboard driver only for it to reinstall upon boot, it still does not work.
Only keys with the Fn function; Fn+F2(windows lock), Fn+F3(battery), Fn+F4(stand-by), Fn+F5(wireless), Fn+F7(presentation/screen display), Fn+F8(keyboard pointer and touch pad), Fn+F9(i don't know), F12(hibernate), scrLk(numLk), home(brightness+), end(brightness-), pg up(keyboard bulb), spacebar(magnify screen) and the think vantage blue button. Only these few work. All other neutral keys do not work. I'm not sure about PrtSc(sysRq) and pause(Break). I tried them but doesn't seem to respond
I have searched for all possible fixes, I am at an end if no one here is able to help me. I have deadlines coming up and am really desperate, HELP!!!

You may have a Thinkpad keyboard fault - fortunately the keyboards are field replaceable units.
I don't work for Lenovo

Cannot receive emails although all other parts of iCloud working.

I am using a 3GS and PC. For last 14 hours I have been trying to download emails from me.com but both devices give "Faile to connect to server" message. I have checked settings, password etc and all are correct. I can access contacts, calendar etc but not emails. I am based in the UK. Is anybody else experiencing the same problem.
jbolger76

Go to settings.....iCloud....account([email protected])......advanced mail([email protected])......iCloud account information.....name: change this to your me.com email address([email protected]). Therefore, name AND greyed out "email" are identical.
I've had the same email and push failure since MobileMe to iCloud migration. Their migration process auto settings do not keep connection with their push server if connected at all.
Try this.........because Apple ain't doing anything to help us. Just the royal runaround.

My Thunderbird is suddenly super slow only when deleting email. All other features work fine. What can I do? Thanks!

Starting a few weeks ago... every time I delete an email, Thunderbird acts like it's crashing and takes 30 seconds or so to delete and email, then returns to normal operation. There is no slowness during any other operation.

All the sudden can't connect to mail server

This morning I stopped receiving email. Mail says it can't connect and that the connection timed out. I use IMAP with SSL (port 993). I don't know of anything I could have changed on the MacBook to cause this. As well, my iPhone can't connect either (same settings as Mail). It gave a connection error once and since then doesn't give errors but never pulls in new mail. I can ping the mail server and telnet in via port 993. I'm not sure what else to look at. Mail settings haven't changed that I can see. Hosting provider says there aren't any issues on their end. Any suggestions?

Do you have Mail properly configured for their servers? I know you said you use SSL, but does the ISP use it, and if they do are you using their default port? Verify your server setup by opening Mail preferences, select Accounts, click on Account Information tab. From the server drop down menu select Edit. Check that your server is correctly configured and the right security option selected. If you have multiple server entires delete all but the one you use for your mail account.
You can also try removing the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file in case it's become corrupted.
It also can't hurt to do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Download and install the freeware AppleJack 1.5 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and carefully read its instructions. Then run its full suite of maintenance and repair routines.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Hello - my safari on my ipad2 gives the following message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"...email works fine and I can download from the app store...seems to just be a safari issue

Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

Safari 3.0.4 freezing all other apps in 10.4.11?

Has anyone experienced a freezing of all other apps when using Safari? Here is what happens: I can use Safari and move freely to different web pages, but when I try to open another application, the icon for the other app appears in the dock bouncing for a long while, but then the icon stops bouncing and just appears in the dock as if I added it to the dock (i.e, it doesn't have a black triangle underneath the icon and the app doesn't open). This happens to all apps- printer utility, disk utility, word, activity log, etc., except dashboard widgets, which works. I can't even open system preferences or the force quit dialog box with the mouse. I can, however, right click on the icon in the dock and force quit from there. The right click opens up a menu which suggests the app is frozen in the middle of trying to open. Force quitting from the app, however, doesn't fix anything. I try to re-open the app, but I still cannot use any apps and cannot print from Safari.
The only thing that fixes this situation is to hold the power button down to shut down the computer. I wait 30 seconds and restart. I then run disk utility, but the results says no permission repairs are needed and disk repair comes back with a clean report. What's happening? I've had this problem happen more than once--maybe 3-4 times, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Thanks for your help!

SafariPlus v.1.6a1 works perfectly with Safari 3.0.4.
I allow Flash and Gifs and don't have a problem.
But it could be some other third party 'enhancer' that caused the problem.
Input Managers can be tricky beasts. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.

Mail app works fine, all other apps cannot connect to wifi - suggestions?

Hello
I can connect fine to my work wifi but only the mail app is working - googlemail account. Safari cannot find server and all other apps requiring wifi do not work.
All of the apps work fine when connecting to my home wifi so nothing wrong with the ipod.
Confused. Do different apps use different wifi settings?
Any help would be much appeciated!!

There might be a filter or firewall at work preventing access to internet. Check with your network administrator.

WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

Hi,
WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

The answer to your question is - neither!
Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

I installed iOs7 on iPad 2 and now when i'm in iBooks and tap "store" i get a blank screen. Same thing in itunes, itunes u, app store, and a few other apps won't connect. Safari seems to be working fine.

I had this same problem. Tried everything the internet said including a full restore. Which was terrible. Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load. Thanks!

From my Ipad, when I am in Facebook, I can not hear the videos posted to my FB page...Sounds works on all other apps just not my videos on my FB page.

Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.
