Safari, App Store, iTunes, System Updates all stopped working - what can I do?

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro running Lion. I have not had any trouble with computer performance. I do have internet access and am using Firefox to type this. So my connection isn't a problem.
I've had this computer since February-ish, and I've never had problems. However, a few days ago, Safari just quit working. I can open it up fine and it loads with a slight hesitation. However, after about 10 seconds, it just stops loading. There is NO beachball. The loading just freezes.
So for instance, I can open Yahoo. It will open the page fine. But the second I try to load my mail or any other site, it just stops in the loading process. So again, the internet connection isn't the problem.
And I thought, "Oh, I should install the new updates! That might fix it." Wrong. System Updates just sits in the Install phase until I force close it. iTunes will not open (beachball). The App Store opens to a blank page. Even some games don't open.
However, Firefox is fine. And so are most of my other apps.
Will somebody pleeeeeeease help me? I hate this. haha Thanks.

Oh and I've tried restarting Safari (multiple times). I've shut down the computer, too. No help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Safari, App Store Issues after updating to 10.7.2

I have been running my imac that came preinstalled with Lion
I am having this wierd issue after updating to 10.7.2 recently
When i run Safari, App Store, Itunes, i can see its loading..
but after 2 hours its still loading.
It just seems to be stuck and its not the Beach ball.. So i dont think it hanged
Its not a network issue as well, since i am typing this on Firefox, which is running perfectly
What could be the reason?

I'm having the same issue on my iMac. I've also noticed the rear of the left side is getting a lot hotter than normal.
I downloaded (from: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459) the update again and reinstalled it. But nothing's changed. Is there anything else I can try?

Press the Power button for about 10 seconds to shutdown the computer. Wait a couple of minutes then restart. If it restarts OK, then immediately repair the hard drive:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Help... Missing Safari, App Store, Itunes store.

I recently updated my iPhone to the latest firmware and when I looked at it this morning I noticed that my Safari app, iTunes store app, and my App Store app icons were no where to be found. How do I get them back?

You don't need to enable Restrictions to see what is available as a restriction.
You enabled Restrictions by entering a passcode but you didn't turn any restrictions on followed by disabling Restrictions which requires entering the Restrictions passcode?
If so, try an iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.

Any Apple related (Mac app store, itunes, software update) doesn't connect

First recently I had a problem with Mac app store. "Store News" a free app showed on my update tab but I've never downloaded that app before. It was not even installed on my mac or showing under my apps. The worst was when I clicked on update button for the app it asked for another account to login. I could not update the app or remove it because for this app that weird account was required! I asked for Apple support and they told me to get help from the developer. I did and they were amazing but the problem was not the app but Mac app store was hacked! And Apple doesn't admit that so they suggested me to kill my mac and reinstall my system! I didn't (yet!) because I heard about one big update at app store before Lion and thought "maybe this solve everything!". BUT when I tried to get software update it didn't connect. After trying to update my system, neither app store and itunes connect.
My internet connection is working fine, I can browse, download, mail works fine. BUT I cannot connect to software update, itunes or app store. Why?
So I manually downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and installed hoping I could get things back to normal. Even after the update I still can't connect those services. Anybody having the same issue?
Thanks.

... i think Jason is referring to Apple Software Update for Windows, and is checking to see if that is working properly for him:

(not entirely sure of course, given the Windows Update reference.)

I have a pop-up on iPad preventing access to safari, app store, itunes

The pop-up is headed adblock.mobi and asks for a user name and password. I cannot get past it to get safari to work, or update apps.

Thanks. I have tried that. Then I tried again closing everything and turning the iPad off for15 minutes.
I still get the pop-up on app store. It has gone from Safari but the server is not responding ( but facebook updates perfectly well so not the wifi).
Now what can I do?

App Store won't "Update All"

Hey gang-
I'm running an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.3.3. Today opened the App Store app and tapped "Update All". A message popped up saying "Update Required. This app requires iOS 5.0"
And that's all it says! It doesn't say which app on the Update list is causing that. Soooo, I went through and individually tapped Update on each of the 34 apps on the Update list (yes I'm a little behind, but in truth that's only about 2 weeks worth.) Tapping the Apps individually does not get that error, but tapping Update All does every time.
Some new known issue?
Thanks!

I am having the same issue; I saw on some post that this is a memory space issue but I still have 2GB left.
I am so tired of this device with the iOS black vial, if you don’t want to use this device exactly as Apple wants you to you might as well toss it in the garbage. I have 80 apps waiting for update because I have not used my IPAD in awhile because I find my Android phone much easier to use. Now I try to"Update All" and I get a wonderful useful message "Update Required" "This app requires iOS 5.0". Thanks a lot which one of the 80 apps is this error from?
So tired of this device; For Christmas we got some I-tune gift cards. That was fun trying to figure out where/how to register them; because the links and directions on the card do not match the very lame web-site. I-tunes is one of the worst web-sites out there. And if Apple is listening ("which I know they aren’t; they never listen to user we do not know what we want") Makeup your mind is it going to be called I-Tunes, I-store, I-tunes-store. And then update your documents to match!
Sorry started ranting……..

After system restore CS3 stopped working and can not be uninstalled

I did a system restore (W7) and my CS3 apps stopped working with the message "Licensing for this product stopped functioning. Currently you cannot use this product. Solve this problem by uninstalling and reinstalling or contact support." I tried to uninstall but the installation manager returns a list of applications with red X and "unsuccessful" next to it. Reinstalling it from the dvd returns: "Installation error, can not continue. Contact support. Internal error 2739". I do not really want to reinstall the whole system since other Adobe applications (PS CS6) work just fine.

I am running windows 7. My itunes keep shutting down on me. I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working What can I do?

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?

Hello Main Event,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
Take care,
Sterling
