Safari and software update won't connect with 10.6.5 and 10.6.6

Downloaded 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to my 4 month old Macbookpro but safari and software update wouldn't connect. Camino worked fine. I'm back on 10.6.3. It works fine but I would like to update. Suggestion?

In response to how did I update if safari and update didn't work with 10.5 and 10.6. Your question is silly. I updated from 10.6.4 and as I said Camino works fine and always has.

  • Safari and Software Update won't connect to the internet

    I'm running OS 10.4.11 and have installed a new router which works fine on my G5 running the same OS. However when I now Try and run Safari I get the Message: Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “www.google.com”. and When I try and run Software Update I get the Message that it cannot connect to the server. Firefox runs fine on the same computer has anyone any idea please? or suggest a fix

    Fixed it myself. Under network settings "Auto Proxy Discovery" was enabled. When I turned this off everything started working again. Not sure how this was enabled in the first place.

  • Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine. Tried Proxies, but not sure what to do there. Only one box was checked, I unchecked it, and made no difference. Have also tried some other DNS numbers, nothing worked yet.

    Hi There,
    Safari, iTunes, software update iCal not connecting. Firefox is fine.
    I have found some archieved discussions about this, but none that went  into detail about how to fix problem using proxies - I don't really  understand what they are/ do.
    I went into the Proxies screen, Only one  box was checked, "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" I unchecked it, and made no  difference. There was also some stuff written in the "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts and domains" I deleated that and nothing different happened. Have also tried some other DNS numbers,  nothing worked yet.
    Any suggestions?

    I still have no idea what was wrong with Safari last week, but I opened it today, and its all working! Hurrah!
    Woohoo! I'm a great fan of things fixing themselves. Fingers crossed in New Zealand for no further problems.

  • Safari, iTunes and Software update can't connect, firefox can

    Hi all!
    Since upgrading to Leopard I've been unable to get my macbook to connect using Safari, Software Update or iTunes. I get unknown error messages from iTunes and Software Update and a message that the server can't be found or times out from safari.
    Strangely Firefox works perfectly and the other Macs on my network (some 10.4, some 10.5) are fine.
    I have tried checking the proxy settings and creating an new user account but both times the problem persists.
    The only thing I can think it could be is that someone configured proxy settings through firefox a while ago (pre 10.5) when they used it at their office. could that affect safari etc?
    All help gratefully received.

    Hi. Sorry this will not help, more of an observation. I posted a while back that I was having much the same problem at work when connecting through a proxy. Any Apple app that needs an internet connection did not work, ie Safari, Widgets, Software Update etc. But iChat works, as does Mail although not the RSS function. Firefox on the other hand works fine. I am absolutely certain my setting are correct and when I revert to using my 10.4.10 boot disk that all works fine. I think Apple has some how changed the way user info and password is sent when making a net connection through a proxy and now with 10.5 it does not work.
    I also spoke with a mate yesterday he has just upgraded to 10.4.11 which means he now has Safari 3. He now is also experiencing the same problems I have with 10.5 and proxy connections.

  • Mail, Safari and Software Update won't launch?

    My Mail, Safari and Software Update apps don't launch after my last Software Update installed Quicktime 7.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.2. During that update (Jan 12, 06) I got the spinning ball and ended up restarting because nothing was happening...
    That's when my apps stopped opening.
    This is what Console says when I try:
    dyld: /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    dyld: /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/MacOS/Software Update truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit (load command 0 fileoff plus filesize extends past end of the library)
    So it appears I have a "malformed library", what should I do?
    Thanks.

    Yes, it looks like something is not right with /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. The message "filesize extends past end of the library" sounds like there might be some corruption of the filesystem, although I certainly could be wrong about this. (The filesystem is the operating system's mechanism for determining where files actually start and stop on the harddrive.)
    The first thing to try would be to attempt to repair the filesystem. This can be accomplished by booting of your Panther Install CD and using Disk Utility to do a Repair Disk. There are good instructions for that at Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. See the section on Repair Disk.
    If that does not work, I suggest that you try to replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/WebKit. If you have another computer with the same operating system, you could connect via target disk mode and copy over the good folder to replace the bad one. Alternatively, you could do an Archive and Install.

  • Safari, Mail, and Software Update won't launch

    I've tried downloading Safari 3 but my iMac needed to be 10.4+. As a result my Safari, Mail , and Software Update will not launch. When I click either one it will just do 1 or 2 bounces and will not open. No error message pops up.My Firefox browser does work so it can't be a internet problem.
    This is what comes up on Console when I try to open Safari.
    Safari can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyndicationUI.framework/Versions/A/Syndicatio nUI (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you.

    That's probably because Safari 3.1 introduced a webkit that your Panther applications can't use.
    Go to HD/Library/Packages, and delete the package for Safari 3.
    Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and delete any reference to Safari 3.
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Now re-install your previous version of Safari from your install disk (the one that came with your Mac).
    Repair permissions and reboot.

  • Safari, iTunes, Software Update will not connect...

    I'm piggy-backing on an issue that Parajanov posted at 7:10AM today: I'm having almost the exact same issues, but I've tried everything noted in that post and have not been able to connect with either Safari v2.0, iTunes v7.0, or Software Update.
    When I open Safari I get: Safari can't connect to the server. Safari can't open the page "http://www.website.com/" because it could not connect to the server "www.website.com". That same message holds true for every website I attempt but one: my bank. My bank's 24-hour online service is the only thing I can access on Safari.
    A little background: This started last week when I was browsing and in the middle of my session, quite possibly to my online bank, when I tried to go back home I got the first message. Sadly, I didn't document the problem as it happened because I thought it was a simple problem. I quit Safari, restarted my computer, and still nothing. Then when I tried to view my history, I saw that all of my previously visited site entries had been replaced with something like "dot607," like a total of 50 entries all the same. Like I said, I didn't document the problem when it happened, so don't take my "dot607" verbatim, but it was something like that. Totally puzzling.
    Next, I opened iTunes and Software Update and they both dialog box me and said that it's a network problem. I'm defintely connected because I've been using Firefox for the past few days with no issues whatsoever.
    I've attempted to trash com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences. plist, as suggested by Mactechguy, no luck. I've attempted to trash com.apple.safari.preferences.plist, no luck. I've attempted to use Disk Utility and restart, no luck.
    This is the first time I've ever had anything like this happen and it's really aggarvating. Help me out Mac Tech community, please!
    800MHz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

    Sorry, Eme. That too, did not work. Anyone else have any insights or suggestions?
    Np; ), I am sorry for this predicament you are in, & nothing is helping,
    do search in the Safari forum for redirects, there is a situation going on with this.
    I think there is one right on the first page here.
    I however, have found the DNS #s are needed in the TCP/IP tab.
    I could only browse to earthlink without them however that was last year I have used them since, they were not volunteered.
    Did you do a restart, of your mac?
    Have you tried a test account to see if Safari works there
    System pref.-> Accounts-> Login Options use the + to add one. Log out of your username account & into the test account.
    Worth a shot, imo.
    I will look for the other topics on this similar issue.

    The issue may be different for you, this is what Daver said he did but there is no articulation on what exactly
    http://blogs.earthlink.net/2006/08/handlingdead_domains1.php
    Info on your router, connection method etc, could help. Also if the test account works & if you have ichat set up does that work ?

  • Safari and Software Update won't launch on Macbook

    I have a macbook (OS X 10.4.11) that I haven't used in a while. I tried to use it today but Safari crashes as soon as I launch it. I can't even view a page--Safari and its menu appear momentarily on the top bar and then disappear. Software Update does the same thing. Skype didn't launch the first time I tried, but it did after doing some disk repair. I don't want to use the Mac CD to take it to factory settings because I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office I have on it. Is there a way to make these programs work?

    When you boot up the Mac with the install disc in, hold the C key for around 10-20 seconds. THEN let go of the C key. I notice this when doing this on my Mac. I would hold down the C key for a minute, and give up cause I think it just froze, and let go of the button only to find out that it didn't really work cause I had to let go of the C key. It also takes a while to boot up too. I'm not sure about the next part, but I think it goes like this. It will show you a installation screen, and on the top bar, you click utilities and Disk Utility. I don't remember the whole process cause I haven't done it in a while.

  • Software Update won't connect in Mountain Lion

    Software Update indicates that I have an update available for Pages, but when I type in my Apple ID and password in the App Store (which is where Software Update takes you in Mountain Lion), I get a "Connection failed" message every time. The App Store seems to accept my password on my iPad okay. Is there a problem with Software Update in Mountain Lion?

    To follow up, I've been on the phone with Tech Support for two days, and they're stumped too. When I try to connect to Software Update, I get the following message from the App Store: "Cannot connect to the App Store: An Internet connection is required." However, I AM connected to the Internet; Safari works fine, as do all other apps that require an Internet connection. Moreover, I CAN connect to the App Store via the Internet for everything BUT "Software Updates" -  "Featured," "Top Charts," "Categories," etc. For some reason, however, the App Store won't let me connect to Software Update or to "Updates" in the App Store because it cannot detect my Internet connection. I've tried repairing permissions, a "safe mode" restart, creating a new "test" user to verify that my network connections are working properly, and finally today I did a re-install of Mountain Lion...all to no avail. Furthermore, my system (Mountain Lion) seems otherwise to be functioning flawlessly. No other problems at all.
    It appears that the problem may not lie with my system, but with Apple's Software Update somehow, but so far they can't seem to track it down.
    Curious as to whether anyone else has had this problem with Mountain Lion.

  • Software update won't connect to the internet

    I get the the messge " Cannot Connect to the App Store - An internet connection is required" when trying to use software updaet in mountain lion.  I can go to and use the App Store and my internet workd fine but the updates section does not work. Anyone else having this issue?

    Have the same problem. Internet works fine, and I can access everything in the App Store except Software Update and Purchases. I get a message: "Cannot connect to the App Store: An Internet connection is required." Yet my Internet connection is fine; everything else that requires Internet (Safari, etc.) works fine. When I try to log on to the App Store with my Apple ID and password, I get a message that the "connection failed." Everything else on my system works flawlessly; hence, I don't think the problem is with my system. For some reason, the App Store cannot detect my Internet connection.
    Spoke with Apple Tech Support and they talked me through the simple trouble shoots (network corruption, safe mode restart to identify conflicting programs, permissions repair, corrupt preferences file, etc.). Nothing helped. Finally, I did a complete re-install of Mountain Lion in the hopes that that would correct the problem. It didn't. Apparently the problem is on Apple's end with the App Store. They've passed along the problem to their engineers in the hope that they can figure it out. Will let you know what they say.

  • Click Wheel Ipod says "needs software update", won't connect

    help!!!
    thank goodness i found this forum.
    I hope you can help me. i have a 20 GB dock-connector ipod running through a standard USB windows XP computer. it worked wonderfully up until i updated to itunes 6 last week.
    now it has multiple problems:
    1) i updated the ipod software to 2.3, the latest version - but now, every time i connect, it will only upload about 400 out of 500 songs, saying "your software is out of date, run the software updater" despite the fact that the ipod software is at the latest version
    2) i can't transfer any of the songs i've added in the last few months - because of this software out of date problem, even though i've completely updated my software without difficulty.
    any ideas???
    thank you!!!

  • Firefox software update won't run with parental controls

    Running mac 0S X 7.5, firefox has recently been updated 27.0.1
    I have parental controls in place on my child's account on the mac.
    When that account is running and attempt to open firefox a dialog box appears saying the account does not have permission to run firefox software update.
    Even if I (root/ parental user) choose the option in the dialog box to always allow access and properly enter my password, when I again click on firefox to launch I get the same message.

  • Some Of My Apps Like AppStore and Software Update won't open on my MacBook Pro

    some of my major softwares like AppStore and SoftwareUpdate and ,,,, are not working!!!
    please help
    (I'm using Mavericks and Cant upgrade it!)

    A.
    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    B.
    "Kerio Control" must be updated, reinstalled, or removed.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Software updates won't install with multiple accounts

    I'm using an iMac with multiple accounts.  When I go to update software, the box comes up and lists the updates. Great.  When I click install, it says it must restart in order to install the updates. Fine.  But after it restarts it goes to the login page, and once I login, it seems to forget that it's in the midst of an install. I've tried this many times, from many other accounts.
    How can I get it to follow through with the updates without getting stuck at the login page?
    Thanks

    Are the apps installed in the main Applications folder or in each User's Applications folder? Apps installed in the root folder will be available for each user. Apps  installed in a User's Applications folder is individual to that User. You can drag these apps to the root Applications folder for easy updating.
