Safari and Firefox problems with wireless network

I have seen similar questions to mine on the forums recently. Here's my story: I have 5 month old Mac Book with Leopard, no airport extreme, just the inbuilt Airport card. I connec through the internet with Netgear. I have been on to Apple support who went through all the checks, nothing wrong they say, and suggest I contact Netgear. This I did, rebooted router, switched on/off, updated firmware. And still the same problems - pages ultra slow to load, messages saying I am not connected to the internet but running network diagnostics informs me I am. I have to resend pages three times to get them to load. It's driving me nuts. A couple of things then: should I check the box for 'remember password in keychain' when I'm loggin on to my own secure network? Maybe the keychain not remembering is slowing it down. I also read that with one of the key chain updates (I update automatically so I presume I did this some time back) the airport card might not work, and safe restart is required. Do I need to do this?
I know Apple don't take responsibility for third party equipment, like the Netgear router, but my mac worked amazingly with the internet until about 2 weeks ago, and I have updated everything with Netgear. Any ideas?

I believe the WebKitPlugInHost needs to be updated for Safari as It crashes whenever I am playing FarmVille on FaceBook.

Safari and Firefox problems: hotmail, facebook ect. don't work

I am having all sorts of problems with Safari and Firefox. I cannot get on hotmail, facebook and many other sites, but I can use google, just half the links won't load. Ran diagnostics, reset safari, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions??

Erin...
Empty your browser caches more often.
Deleting cookies may help also. Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
If emptying the cache nor deleting cookies helped, try Safari in another user account.
If you have the same problems there log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

HP 175nw Problems with Wireless Network Connection - Mac OS X 10.8.3

Please help!
I have an HP 175nw, from one day to the next it decided it was no longer going to connect to the wirless connection.
I run a Mac on 0S X 10.8.3.
I can't find the installation software (the whole software not just the driver) on the web and the CD is worthless b/c this is a Mac.
I installed the printer on my windows laptop and it works fine, it connected to the wireless network using the setting sets on my laptop, it now prints wireless no problem, but not with the Mac.
I have plugged the printer directly into the Mac but the Mac doesn't even seem to recognize it. The printer shows up on my printer list but when I try to print or scan from it the Mac says the printer is offline.
I need this printer/scanner for work desperately, Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

X201 running Windows 7 Home Premium problem with wireless network adaptor

my x201 shows that my wireless is on and my wireless network is available. it keeps trying to connect but is not able to hold a connection (continuously trying and failing). i'm on windows 7, 32 bit, home premium. i downloaded the latest update for the intel wireless today but it's still not working. any ideas?

1) This could be a software problem, so try to uninstall the Wireless card software, and reinstall.
2) If that fails, then try to do an OS reinstall.
3) If OS reinstall fails, then it is a hardware problem, which most likely you need it replaced (if you are under warranty, then call the warranty support, if not then you can source a Lenovo branded wireless card for your machine).

T520 problem with Wireless Network Connection Adaptors

I was in Windows 7 Device Manager's Network Connections trying to fix a minor WIFI problem by uninstalling the drivers and then scanning for hardware changes to reinstall them. I uninstalled a driver that the scan didn't pick up to reinstall, and I didn't write down its name. Now the WIFI does not work at all. I've updated the two drivers left in Network Adapters:
Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection for my ethernet
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN for my WIFI
Does anyone know the name of the wireless driver I uninstalled? Does the 520 require two wireless network adaptor drivers? Can't seem to find info on it anywhere!
What I've done:
I ran Intel's PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility diagnostic tools. The hardware test fails saying "Wireles Hardware is not boudn to transport driver". The Driver Test passed saying "Driver is loaded. Netwsw00 Version: 15.4.1.1. The Radio Test failed saying "Failure geting network radio status!". After that the Scant Test, Asociation Test, Authentificaiton Test, Siganl Test and Ping Test all failed.
Installed every 64 bit LAN wireless network adaptor driver I could find in the T520 section of Lenovo's site
Any assistance appreciated. I'm a bit of a noob.
Thanks

Here is the list.
Try scan for new devices in Device manager otherwise you likely have to reinstall the package again.

Anyone else having Safari and iCloud problems with 10.7.2 on iMac?

After upgrading to 10.7.2, I'm having intermittent problems with Safari not connecting to websites. Also, iCloud crashes and hangs when I select the address book. This is on a brand new iMac 2.5 core i5 with no third party web software or plugins (flash, etc.).
Apple care hasn't been much help to me with some other issues I've had, so I thought I'd seek out answers here.
Thanks,

Bump,
No one else is having problems with iCloud hanging?
My safari seems fine now, but iCloud is unusable.

Safari and Firefox Problems... possibly with flash plugin.

A couple days ago out of nowhere Firefox was crashing whenever i went to... well, most websites. Most noticeably Youtube and Tumblr. So I downloaded the newest versions of firefox and a plugin that was out of date, and the Flash plugin. It still crashed-- nothing changed.
So I moved on to Safari, it didnt crash when i went onto those sites. but i get a pop up message all the time, especially on those sites...

thats the message.. theres a lot more. But that makes me think its something wrong with the Flash plugin. Maybe the same thing is wrong with Firefox...
I have tried uninstalling with the uninstaller from the adobe website and reinstalling.
Is anyone else having this problem?
How do I fix it?

Safari and Firefox problems since installing 10.4.5

On Safari I can no longer get The Daily Show videos using Windows Media with flip4MacWMV. Can't get it on Firefox either and it just gets stuck. Also on Firefox Javascript isn't working properly.
I repaired preferences before and after the upgrade. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
Connie

Fixed it by installing the extension Media Player Connectivity 0.5.3.1 on Firefox - get it from the Tools/Extension menu.

Major problems with Wireless Network

Hi,I currently have a network that has 7 Cisco aironet 1200 devices on it.(2 of which are repeaters)The network has been stable for months untill recently..At random times different waps will just go down. They will occasionally come back on themselves but I usually have to do a power cycle. Also sometimes they will just not accept clients, again until a power cycle.We have 2 main devices that generally have around 15 devices on each. This morning one of them had 25 clients, and the other had 4. Then when I checked later this had been reversed.When the waps go down, there is nothing that jumps out in the logs(to me anyhow) some "Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station Reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS" messagesAny tips on what could be wrong or where to look first?Its doing my head in..Cheers

Are you in a large office complex? Any chance some network admin in an adjacent building/floor just installed a system that can terminate your APs as if they are rogues? Have you ran any tools to look at interference? Have you tried running a packet sniffer?

Safari and Firefox seem to have issues with Flash?

Hi - in the past few days every time I try to view a website with video, both Safari and Firefox hang with the beachball and I have to force-quit. I tested to see if it was just taking a long time to load, and it was still the same after an hour. I've read on this forum that Snow Leopard and Flash have some issues, and I've done everything suggested: un-installed Flash then re-installed the latest version, cleared out Safari cache and reset Safari, repaired disk permissions...I am at a loss. Any ideas are appreciated!

Hi,
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
If Safari still crashes, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Huge problems with wireless, would need some help

Sorry for the bad topic, and sorry for my english.
And now the problem.
I have just bought my first laptop, and got almost everything to play nice in arch, except the wireless.
My card is a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (iwl3945), and i have a Dlink 524 router (abg).
Using WAP, but can change this if its help.
Right now I'am using NetworkManager (0.6.5-3 from rep) and KNetworkManager (from AUR), and it works very very bad.
It can't connect at startup (or atleast it doesn't...), it takes several attempts to get a connection, it drops the connection and dont reconnect when it does, and so on. Its almost unusable and force me to use wired a connection just to be sure to be able to write this.
After what i read in different forums and mailinglists, there seems to be a lot of problems with wireless at the moment?
Anyone got this combination to work fine? Or are there any other way of configuration i should try? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I've had a lot of problems with wireless networking for several weeks recently, ever since I upgraded vanilla kernel26 from v.2.6.22 to v.2.6.23 (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40145). I'm using the Windows driver bcmwl5 for the Broadcom 4311 chipset via Ndiswrapper, and I'm using WPA-PSK (TKIP) encryption. I also use a D-Link DI-524 router. What finally cured the problem was to install the new wicd (v.1.3.1) network manager which is now in extra and to set up all networking interfaces in that GUI, abandoning using Arch network profiles and all the detailed setup in /etc/rc.conf.
My /etc/rc.conf now only contains (I'm only showing entries pertinent to networking)
MODULES=(ndiswrapper capability sg acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_performance cpufreq_powersave)
HOSTNAME="RFDellLT"
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @nfslock @nfsd @netfs @crond !network hal cpufreq portmap wicd sshd cups alsa @openntpd privoxy)
i.e. no more INTERFACES, not even "lo", gateway, ROUTES, NET_Profiles. Everything is set up through wicd. You only need to put the wicd daemon in the DAEMONS array (after hal which also loads dbus), and the network daemon isn't needed anymore. Also you should uninstall any other networkmanager.
To put the wicd icon in the system tray, create a shell script (give it any name) in the .kde/Autostart/ directory in your home directory (if you use KDE, otherwise do the equivalent thing for any other DE/WM) that contains the command /usr/lib/wicd/tray.py.
You may want to try wicd, perhaps it'll fix your problem. It certainly has gotten good press in this forum.

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

How can I correct the problems I've been experiencing lately with drop-down menus in general as well as and leading of text. It 's occurring on both Safari and Firefox browsers.

The above headline pretty much covers the problems.
Access to the drop down menus is erratic. Sometimes it's problem-free, but at other times it's impossible to see the options on the menu, or if they are visible, it's impossible to effect a change by clicking on one of them. The times I notice it most is when I am trying to change fonts or font sizes, but it occurs at other times, as well.
It's also frustrating to have to deal with double spacing (for example, when describing items on eBay). Sometimes the text flows normally, but if I force a return, the text that follows usually is double-spaced.
Often, the justification option does not work either.
Occasionally, I can get around one problem or another by switching back and forth between Safari and Firefox, but eventually, the original problem resurfaces.
Because it happens on both browsers, eBay tech support is inclined to think the problem is in my software. (I'm inclined to agree.)
Although they have suggested clearing the history in FF, that option must have been relocated, because it'sno longer under the "Tools" menu, where it was in the past. I also can't find the clear your cache option on OS Safari or 10.8.3.

I don't think it'd help much but clearing history is now in the History menu, and setting FF to clear history on exit is near the bottom of the Privacy tab of FF Preferences.
Also, if you don't have the Develop menu in Safari, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.” You'll find "Empty Caches" there.

I have a MacBook Air with OS X and am having trouble accessing the ADT Pulse Home Security System cameras. The mobile (iPhone and iPad) apps allow access no problem, but I can't get a picture on the MacBook. Have tried Safari and Firefox browsers.

Network running, Safari and Firefox not...

Hello.
I have a Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 3 GB of memory. I'm running OS X 10.6 and have almost 80 Gigs of free space.
A couple of days ago I started having problems with my internet being extremely slow. That has now transformed to no internet access at all, either with Safari or Firefox. Both apps will start, but neither will get past the initial load screen anymore.
I am connected to a Netgear wireless router via an ethernet cable. The router registers my computer is there, and is giving no problems to the two wireless laptops, or the other desktop (which is also connected via ethernet cable) in the house. The ethernet cable is connected to my #1 port, and the Ethernet 1 network on my computer says its status is "Connected." When I run diagnostics on that network it says it is connected to the internet is working fine. I have tried switching ports, but when I put the cable in Ethernet 2, the computer recieves no signal whatsoever.
I have emptied all my cache files, run network diagnostics, have Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions, and have reset Safari a number of times. I have tried creating new networks, and have reset the router itself. I'm afraid I am completely at a loss. The rest of my computer is running fine, but Safari and Firefox will not load, regardless of the network's claim to be connected and running smoothly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

3GB and 80GB hard drive space: low amount of RAM but should be able to 'run' Mac OS. However 10% free of 640GB hard drive, so you do have what I call over loaded hard drive. Move files off to 2nd drive.
Make sure your modem is behind a surge protector, and that the ethernet out, also passes through a protector to prevent too much amp going into ethernet port.
I'd do a quick install of OS X (10.5.8 or 10.6.1) and leave it there with an empty new test user account.
