Receiving "Unable to connect" error message for every site, but IE8 works fines

HP Pavilion , AMD Athlon X2 Dual, Core processor 3800+. 2Ghz, 1MB Ram, Windows XP Media edition 2002, Service Pack 3. Firefox Version 3.6.8
When starting Firefox, it always says "Unable to Connect". IE8 works fine.

This is normally caused by a firewall blocking Firefox, for more details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Firefox keeps saying can't connect to server for every site but internet explorer can

I was using firefox before and it worked fine. But then yesterday firefox updated itself and since then it wouldn't work. its not the firwall, not a proxey problem, I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it but that didn't work either. Internet explorer still works and so does the wireless for the laptop but just for my desktop firefox doesn't work. Now everytime I open firefox or try any other site it says "can't connect to the server at ..." what do I do.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Error Message when uploading report but report works fine

Hello ,
I am facing a strange issue here, when i try to upload a report in Crystalreports.com using ODC there is an eeror message shown - " The Open Data URI does not appear to be valid one or the server is down.Do you want to Continue?"
When I click 'ok' the report uploads and when its run it works perfectly fine , it shows the parameters to choose and pulls the
right data.
Has anyone faced this ? and any idea why that error message appears although every report uploaded works perfectly fine?
Thankyou
dpa

Hi dpa,
The crystalreports.com server does some validation of that url to make sure it can be reached and that it returns some info to ensure it is an odc deployment.
It sounds like there is something particular about your url or odc deployment that is causing this validation to fail unnecessarily.
Could you enter a support ticket and supply the url that you are using so that we can test it out to find out what exactly the problem is?
Thanks
Steve

Hello Rattisate,
Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro. I would be concerned about this too. You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

Untrusted Connection error message on home computer, but can connect fine from work

I have been connecting to this site for a while without problems (an online gradebook for son's school), but yesterday when I tried to log in from home machine, I got the "This connection is Untrusted" error message. However, I was able to log in without a problem from work today, but having the same problem at home again. Is it an indication that my home connection is somehow compromised? How do I check? Other sites seem to working fine.

It is usually better to install missing certificates by visiting another website that sends them then by making an exception.<br />
You can check the certificate chain on the working computer by clicking the Site Identity Button (favicon) on the location bar > More Information > View Certificate > Details and export missing intermediate certificates and import them on the other computer.
You can remove exceptions on the Servers tab in the Certificate Manager.

Help! Was using my iPad yesterday set it down for 10 minutes and all of a sudden received "server not responding" and "Cannot verify server" error messages. Cannot open/connect to iTunes to update software. Wifi is working with strong signal. Followed other message board suggestions: forgot network and readded, renewed lease, turned wifi off/on, reset network settings, reset all settings, powered off/on, rebooted, checked router. Internet works fine on laptop. I'm so frustrated and don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Server not found or Unable to connect error message.

I am running Windows 7 with Firefox 3.6.8, the latest version. From time to time a page will come up "server not found" or "unable to connect." I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer. But, I would prefer to use Firefox. Also, it seems to be getting worse lately. I am using an ethernet connection.

My already installed Mozilla is not working. When I click on it I get an unable to connect error message. IE connects and other computers in my house are able to connect to Mozilla.

Not much to add. It just won't connect....worked fine when I shut it down last but now it won't connect.

I was having this problem. The settings on my wireless router was set to hide my IP address so it wouldn't connect. When I changed that, I connected no problem. While this is annoying since I don't want my IP address to be out there, I just switch my router when I need to connect to the App/iTunes Store. Hope this helps. It worked for me.

MacBook Pro connection timeout message for personal hotspot but works on iPad. Any suggestions?, MacBook Pro connection timeout message for personal hotspot but works on iPad. Any suggestions?

I am having issues with my personal hotspot. I can connect an iPAD to it but the MacBook Pro gives a connection timeout error. Sometimes it asks for a password but when I type in the correct one it doesn't recognise it. Any suggestions? My software is up to date and I have deleted the password in key chain but this doesn't seem to help. I am a bit technically challenged so simple language please. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fixed!
Two things together have restored connectivity.
1. I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name. I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here. Easy enough to test.
2. I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

Can't sign in to my bank since upgrading to Firefox 4, no error message, sign in button won't work, fine with IE?

Upgraded to Firefox 4 yesterday. Have since had a problem logging into my bank. I enter all log in details, click the sign in button and nothing happens, the page just remains static, there are no error messages. No problem logging in with Internet Explorer or on a separate computer with Firefox 3 so it must be Firefox 4 that's causing the problem. It's just this one site, all other sites I use requiring log in work fine. It can't be a problem with the site because as I said it works fine with IE and Firefox 3?? Help!

Have now ditched Firefox 4 and reinstalled the previous version-the problem has disappeared, doesn't say much for the new version!

SetupApi.dev.log error message on driver install, but driver runs fine anyway... why?

Hello,
I am trying to run down the cause of the following warning/error message I see in my SetupApi.Dev.log file after I install a commercially signed driver.
!    sig:           Verifying file against specific (valid) catalog failed! (0x800b0109)
!    sig:           Error 0x800b0109: A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider.
I see this error against all the files in the driver package, but the driver operation has so far been just fine.
I have checked the certificate chain for the driver (there are 3 certificates in the chain: a root, an intermediate, and the code signing certificate I purchased, all from Verisign/Symantec), and compared the root and intermediate certificates against ones
that are already installed on the machine where I installed the driver.
Using the MMC, I can see:
- the root certificate is located at:         Console Root->Certificates-Current User->Trusted Root Certification Authorities->Certificate
- the intermediate certificate is located at: Console Root->Certificates-Current User->Intermediate Certification Authorities->Certificate
- the code signing certificate is located at: Console Root->Certificates-Current User->Trusted Publishers->Certificates
This all seems to make sense to me for as much as I've been able to research from the MSDN, so would there be some reason why this message shows up, yet the driver seems to install and operate correctly anyway?
I am using VS 2012 Pro on top of Windows 7 (x64) Pro SP1 to perform the driver build and code signing.
Thanks much in advance for reading this, and for any insight/advice you might have about this.

Hi Pavel, Jason, and Bryan,
I apologize for not getting back to this sooner, I got side tracked with a different task for a few days...
I really appreciate your looking at my problem.
I did some more digging and contacted VeriSign/Symantec for some assistance and learned
I had a few things set up improperly with respect to my code signing certificate.
VeriSign pointed me to a few links to straighten out my code signing certificate's chain of trust on
my code-signing machine, and then they also pointed me to a couple links similar to the one
Bryan provided here for the cross-signing certificate I needed.
The links are provided below for reference (in case somebody else can make some use of them too)
1. Disable root cert, so my certificate's signing chain of trust shows up:
https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=content&id=SO16958&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US
2. Get the correct intermediate certs insalled:
https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/index?page=content&id=AR1739&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US
3. Get the correct X-signing cert from MSFT (same dert as the one Bryan provided in his link):

I'm building/signing this for Release, on a Windows 7 x64 platform. I am doing this using the
Windows 8 WDK and VS 2012 Professional. It's a nice combination, as it automates the driver
signing process.
My driver is a package of files, and is signed with a CAT file.
I wanted to be sure the files were signed correctly, so I ran "signtool" over each file in the package
to verify the signing is correct. I've included the output from one of the files here. Save the filename,
the output is identical for each file in the package.
The signing certificate chain shown below matches my code-signing certificate chain when I examine it
using the MMC-certificate snap-in.
The cross certificate chain shown below is identical to the output from the VS 2012 IDE. Note the MFST X-signing
certificate is in this chain from step 3 above, it's the second one from the top in the chain.

=========================================
As best as I can tell, this follows the kernel mode signing walkthrough doc, and assuming
VS 2012 is doing the signing correctly, the driver package should have been signed correctly.
The problem is, I still see the same error on the target machine.
I've tried manually installing the code signing certificate in the target's Trusted Publisher Store,
prior to installing the driver, but this does not keep the error from showing up.
I honestly have no clue why. If the driver package files check out OK with the signtool on the signing
machine, I'm at a loss for why the error shows up on the machine where I'm installing the driver.
One other thing that is different is the code signing certificate's certification path When I insepct
it on the target machine. It appears to have a different Root and (only one) intermediate certificate.
The Verisign folks said this is "OK" because different machines have different certificates. I'm not
sure I'm buying this statement. Does it make sense to you guys?
The folks at VeriSign also told me I do not need ANY of the certificates used in signing the driver to
be installed on the target machine. Does this make sense to you guys? I'm a little skeptical about
that assumption too, but I haven't found any information on line to confirm or negate it.
I'm really no further along in determining why I'm getting this error on my target machines.
Does anything here look out of place to you?
I'm half tempted to manually sign the driver package to is there's something going on inside the VS 2012
IDE that could be causing this.
Again, thanks for taking your time to read this.

At times my password for iCloud does work every time but it works fine on my iPad

I have changed my apple i/d password around 6 times trying to solve this problem .iCloud and keychain works fine on my ipad but not no my mac.
it keeps asking for the password for different areas mail/contacts/keychain etc.

Back up all data.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
