Please help! Internet on parallels and through airport, but not in OSX??

I have snow leopard on MBP. At one of my places at work, when I connect to the network - I cannot get internet to work inside OS X - i.e. mail, safari, firefox - all do not work. However, if I start up parallels - the firefox and other programs within XP parallels work perfectly. What's more, if I enable internet sharing through airport, I can also use my ipod touch to connect to the internet through my MBP!! Inside OSX - most things do not work most of the time, and on occasion, microsoft entourage works for a bit...
Looking at little snitch, looks like a lot of active "local" network activity by natd and MDNSResponder - nonstop.
The console is full of messages... one today in a non-stop loop was:
10-10-26 2:47:28 PM mDNSResponder[30] GenerateUnicastResponse: ERROR! Why no questions?

Thanks for replying. I don't think I'm running other low level programs... hotspot shield in the background, but not up and running.... Also, this problem occurs at one of my offices, but not in my other office or at home. It seems so very strange, and I'm tearing my hair out. Resorting to either running parallels or checking my email on my ipod.

  • This is urgent please help!  long running job in sm37 but not in sm66

    Hi,
    Can someone please help for an explanation as to why if you call sm37, you can see that the job is long running (example about 70,000 sec), but when you look at the PID where the job is running in sm66 it does not show 70,000 sec but only around 6,000 sec.
    Can someone please explain why?  Thank you very much

    For background processes, additional information is available for the background job that is currently running. You can only display this information, if you are logged onto the instance where the job is running, or if you choose Settings and deselect Display only abbreviated information, avoid RFC. In any case, the job must still be running.

  • Please Help - Mail 4.3 will receive fine but not send

    Everything is the same; my computer has been working totally fine for over a year. All the settings are just as they were...But for the last week it keeps coming up with this message: "Cannot send message using the smtp.live.com" Sometimes it would do this then work again straight away.
    I'm in the process of updating to OS X10.6.6 to see if that helps, but don't have enough internet credit so have to use it at work at lunch times.
    I can go thru the hotmail webpage and get my mail that way, also my iphone is sending and receiving fine too. But I prefer my Mac!! Any suggestions? Normally I can find answers to my problems straight away with just a quick search but I'm totally stuck on this one
    I've tried - deleting all info & re entering it
    -someone suggested an outgoing server of smtp.hotmail.com
    -setting outgoing server to "none" which for some reason used to work
    I'm wondering if hotmail is causing it to stuff up, so I have to go thru their site, thus see their advertising, they get money etc?
    thanks in advance!!

    This message would indicate that you have this SMTP set up without Authentication, which if that is the case it is also likely getting presented on Port 25, which most connection providers block.
    Change the SMTP to Password authentication, SSL, and change to Use Custom Port and enter 587 -- this prevents Mail for some temporary issue changing to use another of the default ports.
    Let me know if this solves.

  • I can't enter gmail. The error 'The page isn't redirecting properly' shows up. I can access gmail on my phone and with IE, but not firefox.

    I've tried to clear the cache and delete the cookies from gmail, but neither has worked. I can access gmail from my phone and through IE but not firefox. I also use the gmail gadget on my igoogle page and it does not work either.

    Top of your browser click on Firefox, select Options
    Select "Use Custom Setting for History"
    Then click show cookies, then remove All Cookies
    Close browser and restart, should work nicely
    Simple fix (cause of the problem, since you select copy Cookies and History, Favs from Explorer they are clearly not compatible, so that is why you get the error)
    Firefox guys need to fix this is serious challenge for new users.

  • I can connect to internet with my MBP through Airport Extreme, but my iOS devices can't. Please help.

    I can connect to internet with my MBP through Airport Extreme, but my iOS devices can't. Please help.

    GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There are two probably causes:
    Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
    OR
    Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

  • My macbook pro 15inch running on maverick when i try to click on wi-fi says no hardware installed please help i need wifi and and under network staus wi-fi is fail and under network airport is not connected can anybody help the wifi icon has a x and does

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

    If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  Then you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can only do this if it's your ID.

  • After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

    After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?  I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago.  After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers.  But they are working?  Thoughts?

    Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
    You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
    If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
    Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    Holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. That will bring up the 'choose iTunes library' dialog. Select 'Choose LIbrary' from the choices and navigate to your music folder and iTunes music folder.
    Or refer to this article:

    Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

  • I drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones

    i drop my phone so i got a new one and back up everything... well now i have pics on my phone that i dont want and i cant delete them please help i tired hooking up to iTunes but still cant delete certain ones.... i can send them or post but nothing to delete them

    The pictures that are on your phone, that you don't want, did they appear there after syncing with iTunes? Or were they taken with the iphone's camera?
    Pictures synced from iTunes have to be removed by syncing again, but not having those pictures checked under the Photos tab in iTunes.
