Removing Proxy Settings from a Networked Macbook

Help needed.
Since updating my operating system (10.8.2), I have been unable to access the internet at home. Whenever I try to open a page the message appears saying that it has been unable to contact the proxy server. However, I have already removed the ticks from use proxy for http and https and I have tried to set up two locations one work where proxy settings are needed and home where they are not. Nonetheless, when I try to access the internet the same proxy message is returned.
Any advice greatfully received.

  • Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

    I would like to set my system network proxy settings to those, Firefox chose. Firefox is configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and this works fine. How can I read out the settings Firefox chose, so I can adapt these system?

    Hello Richard,
    Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".
    Install Firefox and restore your bookmarks and passwords. Now you should have a fresh install so you have to make all settings again.

    Proxy settings on the iPad relate only to WiFi (Settings > WiFi). It's possible your mobile operator is using a Proxy. You should talk to them to see if that's the case.

  • I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
    By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • JWS not Inheriting PROXY settings from Netscape

    Hi!
    We are using JWS 1.0.1_01 to launch our application, which needs the proxy settings of the user to connect via SSL to our servers.
    We do not have any problems when the user does not use proxies to access the Internet or uses Internet Explorer as their default browser.
    For users with Netscape 4.* as their default browsers, many users are not able to launch our application, as it can not find the proxy settings.
    They can not download the sample applications of Java Web Start either.
    They work fine if they make Internet Explore as their default browser or set the proxy manually in Java Web Start.
    As our customers use some sort of scripts for proxy configurations we do not want to set the proxy manually in Java Web Start.
    We want to use the proxy settings of the browser.
    So I want to know if there is a known issue with Java Web Start not detecting the proxies automatically from Netscape.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    -Nawaz

    Basically web start can only pick up the settings of whatever
    happens to be the current Windows default browser. If that's Netscape then the Netscape settings will be used.
    Since your clients are using a script to specify the proxy settings you should also be aware that there's an issue with web start 1.0_01 where it locates the proxy setting based on the first occurrence of the word "Proxy" in that script. This can cause issues if the first proxy
    listed is for https only of even if the first occurrence of "proxy" is
    inside a comment.

  • ProxySelector does not pull proxy settings from configuration file?

    Hi everyone,
    I try to use class ProxySelector to find proxy settings on Windows XP. When a proxy server URL and port is set explicitly in the "Internet Options" control panel, this proxy setting is detected by class ProxySelector - no problem.
    When a proxy configuration file is set in the control panel, class ProxySelector returns no proxy setting (i.e. DIRECT) - PROBLEM
    (yes, the configuration file works otherwise, i.e. the proxy is pulled when using Firefox or Internet Explorer
    and yes, the proxy works too, i.e. when using the proxy url and port directly, HTTP can be used in Java too).
    Does anyone have a hint on how to find out the proxy server url and port to use for HTTP out of Java, when the proxy is set through a configuration file as described above?
    Thanks a lot for any help
    Ulrich

    Hi again,
    I found a solution in the mean time: ProxySelector does return the local "browser settings" for a proxy server (i.e. proxy type and address) when an application is started with Java Web Start. When started with Java Web Start, a correct proxy type and address is also returned, when a ".pac" file is set in the browser settings.
    So, when an application needs to determine a proxy configuration, although it might be started locally one needs to create a JNLP file and launch respective application (locally) using Java Web Start.

  • Push proxy settings from Intune

    It is possible to define and force proxy settings form Intune to mobile devices?

    You can define proxy settings when you deploy VPN profiles via Intune (specific operating systems only). Have a look

  • How do I remove a bot from my network?

    I recently tried to access Pinterest.com and received the following message: "it looks like you or someone on the same network as you may be running a computer program that's scraping, crawling or attacking Pinterest."  Because of this my access to Pinterest has been forbidden.  I get the same message when I try to access Pinterest from the App on my iPhone.  I don't really know what a bot is or how I could have gotten one.  I also don't know what "network" Pinterest is talking about.  Is it my internet network?  As far as I know, I'm the only person using my wireless internet network.  It's password protected.  I just ran my security software (Trend Micro Titanium) and nothing was detected.  I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem. I'm not sure if my question is in the right category.  I've read some information about removing bots, but I'm looking for something specific to a Mac.  Thanks!

    Hi Allan
    Thanks for your reply!
    I completely disabled Trend Micro Titanium and tried accessing Pinterest but I still get the same message.  I doubt that's the problem as I've had it for a while and have never had problems accessing Pinerest before now.  Also, I made a mistake in my original post - I can access Pinterest though the App on my iPhone, but I can't access it though my Internet browser on my iPhone when I'm connected to my home internet network (the same network my computer is connected to).  I CAN access Pinterest though the internet browser on my iPhone when I'm connected to my 3G network.  So does that mean it has something to do with my internet network?
    Anyways, I downloaded the program you suggested and here is the report:

  • How do "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and "Use system proxy settings" work behind the scenes?

    How can I see what the proxy firefox actually uses when I check either of these two options?
    Does it take it from Internet Explorer?
    Are they stored somewhere in the registry?

  • BI Scheduler - remove Telephone Settings from users

    Hi
    I upgrade to obiee 11.1.1.6.2 BP1. In 10G I set up system subject area to set a mail address in all profiles of my users.
    In 11G I kept the system subject area but I'm not sure if it's really getting the details from there. I also configured AD-Authentication and assume that the user-settings are from that source.
    My problem is now that all users have a mail and a telephone set in their profile, this because it seems that it gets the data from active directory. What I want is to use the mail address but to disable the telephones.
    Does anybody has an idea where I can influence the whole configuration?
    Thank you
    Regards

    Ok, let me try to be clearer. At log in, I only want my name (backfilled) and my password (to be entered). As it is now, hen I log in, I have one account with my name (backfilled) and a filed to enter my password + an :other account", If I click the "other account", I have to enter a name and password (that I do not know). I want to remove this "other account" from log in. Thanks, Ch.

  • How can I remove a device from my network, an iPod

    how do I remove a device that is signed into my network?  I want to remove my child's iPod when I'm not home so they don't have free access to the internet through it.

    Many newer wireless routers can create more than one network simultanesouly. If I wanted to do this, I'd set up a separate network for my child to use, then change the password during those times I wanted him to stay off the net. Or just pull the plug and keep the wireless transmitted (the plug) where he couldn't reach it.
    If you're using a recent Airport Base Station or Time Capsule there are better options.
