Safari and Mail not working, and now software update not running!

Hello, can anyone can help?
I was running 10.3.9, no problems, with safari, mail etc, through my standard third party router. Then today safari won't open up, just goes into spinning ball. Mail won't even open. I have re-installed the system from original discs back to 10.3.3, but still no luck. I can't even run software demag from a download of the apple site, whirling ball again.
Do I need to go for full system default re-instal, as I will loose all my mail folders and safari settings?
Pretty stuck at the moment......

Sounds like a problem with your internet service provider. Perhaps contact them and see if they are experiencing problems. The other thought is the modem and next is the router.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

SAFARI NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE

WHEN I GO TO A PAGE IN SAFARI, I HOLDS TRYING TO FIND THE PAGE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IT STATES THAT I'M NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (which I am). WHEN I REFRESH THE PAGE, IT IMMEDIATELY OPENS UP. THIS STARTED TWO DAYS AGO RIGHT AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR SAFARI. SOMETHING VERY BUGGY HERE. HELP

User "Bee" gave this solution. I tried it and worked for me, although Safari is loading very slowly.
Good luck!
See if you have any of the following files. Just follow the path.
HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
If you do, trash them and restart Safari.

E-mail account not working since Z10 software update 10.2.0.424

I’m having a technical issue with my company e-mail account on my blackberry device. The phone had recently updated [5-days ago] its operating system to version 10.2.0.424
Ever since the software update, I have not been able to send or receive any e-mails on my work email account. But my gmail account is working normally on the phone.
I deleted the account completely from the phone and tried to reconfigure it, but the message is always the same: “The server for account XXX – [email protected] [mail.xxx.com, port: 143] can't be reached. The settings might be incorrect or the server could be temporarily offline. Check your settings and try again."
Our company's web-mail is provided by Bluehost and i have checked and rechecked that the configurations match the specs instructed by Bluehost. Moreover, these are the exact same settings I was using on the phone before the software update and it was working fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Joe

Flash player not working after recent software update

I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
Thanks anyway!

Time Capsule not working after last software update

I bought my time capsule 3 weeks ago. Set up and worked like a charm (I use airport express for my wireless network). After I downloaded the latest software updates a week or so ago, I got a message that my computer could no longer recognize my time capsule. Since then the time capsule light only flashes amber and wont appear in airport utility.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I was having problems with the 7.3.1 firmware as well. For me, in manifest as though the internal disk had went bad--a blinky amber light and a "Disk needs repair" error. Rolling back the firmware solved it for me.
To do this:
--Open AirPort Utility.
--Click on your TC.
--Click on the "Manual Setup" button.
--When the configuration summary pops up, click on the word "Version".
--From the "Upload" drop-down list that is on the new pane that pops up, select "7.3", and click "Ok".
--Once it reboots, it'll be at 7.3.
Hope this helps. I'll be waiting a few weeks after 7.3.2 comes out to upgrade. I'm not real impressed with 7.3.1. As far as I can tell, it broke more than it fixed.

Quick Camera not working after 4S software update...

After installing newest iphone 4S software update the quick camera function no longer works. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks, did not realize you had to slide the camera button up! Before you just had to tap it.
So, do you also know why the "Play, forward, and reverse" buttons" along with the slide bar "volume", show up on the same screen? (i.e. when I double click to get the quick camera button, these show up at the top of my screen directly under the Time. But I can't get them to do anything when I tap em.) Brian

Smart Actions not working properly after software update

My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly.
I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS. It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone. I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again? Are your other GPS services working as normal? After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
Thank you,

Mail does not work since recent software update

downloaded 4-9-2015 OSX Yosemite update 10.10.3 and Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0 and immediately Mail program now fails to respond. help.

I am assuming you are referring to the security update 2012-004. Look into your applications folder and see if there are more than 1 MAIL APP. Single click on each one and see which is the newer one,(4.6). DOuble click on that application and se if your mail works, if it does work, take the old one and drag it to the trash and do a secure empty trash ) shift.command delete. Hope this helps you. ATB

HT201269 iOS 7 update not working on iPhone 4 "update not available" and iPad 2 " iOS 6.1.3 up to date" please help.

Please advise

Supposedly the rollout starts at 12:01 am ET.
Apple will be "pulsing" the release of iOS 7 to users in staggered waves according to their time zone. Thus evenly distributing the server load and ensuring that everyone that wants it can get it in a reasonable amount of time.

In Design not working after Adobe software update....

Updated software for Creative Suite 5 and it stopped all programmes from working. Reinstalled - photoshop and illustrator are now back on track but In Design still has problems. Type tool not coming up and various shortcuts can't be accessed. Speaking to Adobe is like trying to get an audience with the Pope! Any ideas gratefully received

Internal speakers on my iPhone are not working after latest software update.

I'm not able to listen to my calls (unless I use speaker phone) after updating to the latest iOS 8.3 software. Any input? - Thank you!

Is the mute switch on?
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have these been tried?

Camera not working even after second update.Not even on facetime.

Battery can not last more than 6 hours.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.
