Problems with browsers & DNS, but other apps work fine
My computer woke from sleep this morning with an interesting issue. Some applications weren't connecting to the net, saying they couldn't find the host name (all three browsers and a chat program). But, other programs like my email program connected to the network just fine. iphone through the router also connected to everything just fine as well.
Changed DNS servers from google to comcast, and got the same issue, which is strange. Didn't get a chance to restart yet (had to get to work). If a restart doesn't clear this out, I'm not sure what to tinker with after that. Thoughts?
i7 "Santa Rosa" imac 27".
Latest rev of Snow Leopard. Last update was the security patch 2-odd weeks ago, and worked fine after that.
airport express (lastest software) connected to cable modem.

Hello:
You might try the connection doctor to see if it helps.
I had a problem sometime ago and used Open DNS to resolve it, but I do not know whether that will help (my problem went away when I changed ISP, so I removed Open DNS).

Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.
I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta. -

MacBook problems with Snow base station - other laptops work fine
Hi,
I just purchased a new MacBook to replace an iBook G4 800.
My snow base station works fine with the old iBook G4 (which has an extreme card) and with a borrowed PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.5 GHz (also extreme card) but will not work with my new Mac Book. Every time I try to connect - I receive an error "There has been an error accessing "my name" 's network. Sometimes it will connect, other times (most of the time), it will not.
My MacBook connects fine to my neighbors Linksys access points and our work Lucent access points (which are b also - snow is b).
I did a search and am reading other people having similiar problems. I was wondering if anyone has resolved their problems. I spent 2 plus hours on the phone with Apple yesterday. They are placing the blame on the older base station (snow) but it is obvious that snow is working fine for other computers.
TheresaI am still a little confused. I can be 2 feet from my base station and will keep hitting "try again" when trying to access my network and will get "an error has occurred" many times and eventually it will connect and I will have an incredibly strong signal. My MacBook will continue to have a great strong signal until it goes to sleep and then I will have a difficult time connecting again. My neighbors base station is a weak signal and I can easily join their network. Every time I connect, I have problems but once connected, it is great.
I guess it can be interference but I am now wondering if it is related to the snow/graphite base station only. This laptop has no problems joining other b base stations.
I spent hours on the phone with an Apple wireless support specialist the other night. He wants me to try an Extreme base station. He didn't indicate that he was aware of any MacBook problems (and he mentioned interference and we setup my laptop to only join my network and it didn't make a difference).
More to come.... IF anyone switched to a Extreme Base Station and that worked fine - please let me know. Though I sort of resent having a functional b base station that works with every other laptop and have to spend $200 towards another base station because of a new laptop. -

Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?
Yes, i do not suggest upgrading right now. There is some software malfunction or glitch that spontaneously shuts down this specific model. I upgraded and it was a pain to downgrade and make my mac usable again.

I cannot connect my Ipad to a Comcast modem network with the correct password. Other devices work fine.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have a MBP 5.1 with snow leopard 10.6.8. It has been working fine until few days ago, when it started to have different problems:
1) airport is not working well. it is extremely slow, has difficulties in fully loading pages, looses connectivity, It is not browser related, behaves thesame in safari or firefox; it is not the router/wlan; my husband mbp wifi works fine (as it was mine...) and iphone wifi is also working fine. it sees the signal and different networks. , it is also very very slow in opening skype (after that, it is working ok) if I connect via ethernet cable to the same router, everything works perfectly and with the correct speed.could it be a damaged airport card? a software problem/corruption? logic board? (I hope not, the computer is out of apple care now....)
2) after a certain time (more than hours) of use, the trackpad is behaving strangly, increase sensitivity to touch, unwanted selection of folders, files and text or images in web pages when i move the cursor, the cursor jumping all over the places while writing, ecc I have the impression it starts doing that when I use heavily the CPU ( and the temperature goes up). Is this again a problem of the mother/logic board?
I had recently serviced it since it was not booting properly, but except some permissions repaired, they did noit find anything wrong in the hard drive (which I have now substituted with a SSD) or other hardware.
thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
alessandraI think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again -
Canot access itunes store from apple tv. keep getting stuck on top picks screen. Cannot pick a top pick. have rebooted and that is not it.
Hulu and Netflix work fine.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try logging out of the iTunes Store then logging back in again. -
I'm a little bit confused here. I bought the latest Macbook Pro before university late September 2011, and unfortunately had a little accident involving a leaky bottle of juice.
I dried it out as much as I could, and took it to my nearest Apple store two days later, where, to my dismay the guys at the Genius bar said it was broken beyond a reasonably priced repair. I was faced with an estimated £800+ bill, or the option to buy a new one.
As I was going back to Uni for my last term, I needed a computer of some kind and hastily bought the new one. Instead of having it repaired, I stretched an extra £100 on the repair bill and bought the Macbook Air.
The guy who served me thought it was a good idea for me to buy a new one (obviously) and kept reminding me that even if I do get it repaired, the 'corrosion' could spread and it might need repairing again.
The problem throughout all of this is after spending ANOTHER £1000 only a few months after buying the first macbook, I am typing on the so called 'water damaged' macbook right now.
They told me it was completely busted, but apart from cosmetic water marks on the screen I am failing to see what's wrong with it.
Have I been ripped off? Can I sell the water damaged MBP?
I hope someone can help me!
AlexandraAs far as selling it, I don't know what you would get for it. I know in my opinion if I was going to buy it and it worked, if it didn't look really bad, I MIGHT buy it, but that would really mean taking a look at it and seeing what is in store and what kind of condition it is in at the moment. The thing with liquid, it does weird stuff when mixed with electronics. I once had a portable gaming system that I spilled some pop on. It didn't work right away because everything was still wet and liquid and electronics don't mix well. However, after letting it dry off, it worked great. Only problem I had with it at that point were the buttons started to stick. And when they stuck, they would cause me to screw up my games sometimes becuase when I would go to push the buttons, they wouldn't go down right away and would be delayed and with games, that is the problem. When you needed the button pressed now it wouldn't go right away. This is not necessarily a problem with the computer say if you were typing or anything, but the point being, it may not show serious signs right now, but that doesn't mean that later it isn't going to. However, as stated above, you might be able to get something for it as there are other parts worth value. Maybe not the full computer, but pieces to part out if someone else were to find one that needed parts because there were parts of theirs that went bad and needed replaced. I think if you were to fully disclose what happened and let them know that there could be something still going on with it that may cause a problem down the line, you might find someone who wants to try out a mac before making that purchase of $1000 to buy a new one. I would try to sell it, worst thing that happens is you don't sell it because nobody wants it, but if that is the case you are no different then you are now.

Problem with Interactive forms. Non interactive works fine
I have a strange problem with testing interactive forms . If i test the same test form (FP_TEST_02) without putting an x in the fillable field, i see the PDF fine.
But when I set the fillable filed to x I get a system error and the J2ee error log as follows :

(all test reports for the ADS connetions etc work fine, just interactive forms gives this error)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

glenn venghausInteresting. I might have a problem like you mentioned.
I am running one SRM50 system (abap+java) and one ECC6.0 (abap)
I want to use ADS from both ABAP stacks. I have configured both and the ADS including interactive forms works from the SRM5 abap system, but has the problems described from the ECC6.0 system.
The abap software components from both systems differ. The working one has aba, basis, apl on level 8, the non woking on 12.
Now which of the abap components is involved and would the older level 8 componenet work with the newer ADS (is it downward compatible). Since I could upgrade the java ADS to the latest level , but do not want to upgrade the abap stack on the SRM5 system.
I am afraid of breaking a working SRM 5 system. -
PSE9 - problems with tags and Outlook. Was working fine Friday!
I had PSE8. Would no longer print or use Outook on Windows 7. Kept having to revert to a restore point. Purchased PSE9 and installed 2 days ago. Worked perfectly. Used my original keyword tags, printed and sent email via Outlook without a problem. Turned on the computer this moring and tried to send email and the program crashed and crashed and crashed. Also, now I have a bunch of boring keyword icons instead of the one I have chosen on all my photos. They are organized correctly but the icons are not the ones I chose which are listed in the organizer pane. There was some kind of Adobe update and this morning I had to go to a restore point in order to be able to email again. I have been having this issue for over a month now since I started using Windows 7. The only program I have had any problem with is PSE!!!!! After installing PSE9, I deleted PSE8 and things were still working fine 2 days ago. Am not happy and am sick of spending my precious time dealing with PSE on a daily basis.
I did assure that Outlook is set as my default email program before I posted this.
