Repeating network error message won't go away!

I am trying to select the network tab in system preferences and a window pops out to tell me that
'...network settings have been changed by another application.'
when I click ok, the window pops back in again but then pops straight back out again and I don't know why and I can't get rid of it.
Can someone help or shed light???
Thanks,
Ben.

See the following:
A Fix for "Your network preferences have been changed by another application" Error
In the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder delete the following:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
You will have to re-configure all your network settings since deleting these files will cause them to be returned to defaults.

Network error message won't go away

I"m having some connection problems. Opening System Preferences and going to Network, an error message says "Your network settings have been changed by another application." I have no idea what that means - there are no other applications.
I click "OK" and the message is in a continuous loop, i.e., it keeps popping up (or down, actually). I have to click "OK" and quickly click the close button to get out or force-quit System Preferences.
How can I chase this down? What application might have changed these settings? How can I diagnose this to then diagnose the original connection problem?
Thanks in advance to all.

The problem is explored in the following link, including some suggested fixes.

HT4356 HP printer error message won't go away

L7590 Error message won't go away "ink cartridges appear to be missing or damaged" HELP!

I opened the door to get my cartridge numbers. The numbers are not visible so I closed the door. Now I am getting a meaasge that my cyan and black cartridges are missing or damaged. Both were almost brand new. I have now removed and reinstalled them and removed power to the printer overnight. It won't clear up. I need help, please! Thanks!

I'd advise calling HP phone support. You'll need to tell them the warranty ends date written on the cartridge...(no need to enter it on the website, as that's just for printer warranty)

TS3938 PowerPC Error message won't go away

The warning box displays showing 'You can't open the application NotificationsExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported'. When ok is clicked a new box comes up within 10 seconds. How can I get rid of this? I don't know which program it is referring to

The thing launching this is almost certainly coming from one of the following places:
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
Less likely for this case are,
on of your account's login items
~/Library/LaunchAgents (in you home directory)
If it is not obvious to you what it might be post the files you see listed in these places.
Note, some intial google research on NotificationsExec suggests it may be related to some segate free agent support stuff. Does that ring any bells with you. And if it does possibly look for filenames in the places I suggested with "segate" or "free agent" in the name.

J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors. Pressing OK doesn't remove error message. Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times), lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
Happy Printing

Trying to download iOS 7.1 and I get a "Network Error" message. How can I fix this?

Hello. Today iOS 7.1 came out and I want to get it. I currently do not have 2.5GB of free storage on my iPhone 5s so I wanted to use iTunes to download and install iOS 7.1. The problem is that every time I try to download iOS 7.1 I get a "Network Error" message (screenshot provided). The alternative I tried to use is downloading the IPSW file directly from the internet but I also get a network error (screenshot provided). I was able to download anything and everything else I wanted to download today but only get this error when downloading an Apple IPSW file. I downloaded iOS 7.0.6 less than a week ago through iTunes and didn't have an error but with iOS 7.1 I am having many difficulties. I disconnected my internet and tried again but still no success. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem? Any input will help! Thanks so much!
The error through iTunes
The error through Google Chrome

Try directly from your device. I had the same problem but it updated when i tried from the device itself.
