Safari can't communicate with internet but FireFox can.

I have MacBook Pro 15" with Mavericks on it.
I can't access the internet in Safari, App Store or do any software update.
While FireFox on the same machine can do it easily!!
it seems like the MAC apps are like disconnected for a fault in Safari, my assumption.
what to do here?

Deselect Proxies if selected.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies:
Click "Change Settings" button
The network preferences window for Proxies will will show up with "Proxies"
tab selected.
Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
Click "OK" then "Apply"
or
System Preference > Network > Advanced > Proxies Tab
Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
Click "OK" then "Apply"

IE can access my Google calendar, but Firefox can't. Any ideas?

How far do you get trying to log in?
1. Will it not let you enter your username and password?
2. Does it reject your known-valid username and password?
2.1 Did you notice that it tends to uppercase the first letter of the username (possibly causing a mismatch)?
2.2 Do you get the generic red "Please enter a correct username and/or password." message or something more specific?
3. Does it accept them and take you somewhere useless or broken?

Safari won't hit the internet but Firefox does.

I have two Airport Extremes and one Linksys router all on separate channels. I have both Windows and Macs. Windows computers hit all 3 routers. The Mac Air will hit the Linksys using Safari, Mail and iTunes. But is not friendly with the Airport Extremes unless I use Firefox.
My MacBook and iMac will not hit the Airport Extremes with Safari, Mail or iTunes nor the Linksys with Safari, Mail or iTunes. However FireFox will load the internet just fine on all three routers.
When I run Airport diagnostics it reports all three routers are running fine.
What am I missing? My Toshiba, Dell, HP and Fujitu computer hit all three routers using XP and Vista.

Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.

Safari won't connect to internet but firefox will

I just set up a home wifi network. Firefox v 22 works perfectly. However itunes store in itunes fails to open. I also just get a blank screen in Safari with no connectivity to the internet. No address I type into the browser bar generates ANY response. Chrome aso works just fine as a browser, so internet connectivity is NOT an issue. Any ideas on a fix to allow these two Apple products to work?

Mac and Safari can't get on internet, but Chrome Can

I have been trying to upgrade since last Thursday. The first 3 upgrades I tried, failed, so I did a Clean Install last night. I used the settings migration assistant afterwards.
I saw this problem when I did an in-line upgrade as well, when I was finally able to get back to my desktop, Safari and Mac services (i.e. Time Sync, App Store, iTunes, etc) can not connect to the internet. On a whim, I went to Chrome, and surfing is faster then ever. I am not sure what to do now? I am thinking of restoring to Maverick and waiting for Apple to release an update. Anyone have any thoughts?

How are you connecting to the Internet?
What operating system are you using?
Which MacBook do you have?
What happens when you try to connect to the Internet?

I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with it any more. I don't think I can upgrade the Spin Doctor without buying a new program. Is there a way to undo the last iTunes update?

I accepted a recent update for iTunes and now my version of Spin Doctor can't communicate with iTunes, specifically, I can't get music files to go over to iTunes. Spin Doctor gives me a message indicating that iTunes isn't working properly.
I am using iTunes 9.1.1(12) and Spin Doctor 3.1.1.304t. I have investigated upgrading the Spin Doctor but I think too much time has passed and the version available are too far advanced.
Any ideas? Can I undo the iTunes upgrade? Is there a website that I can go to to get the upgrade for my Spin Doctor?
Thanks.
Mary

If your iMac is an Intel CPU model, you can upgrade the OS to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Then use software update to update 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10,6.8.
Then you can run the latest iTunes to sync your iPad running iOS 6
You can purchase OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Ask for retail software sales and purchase a copy of 10.6 for $19.99 plus shipping.

I also have the '''pdf''' problem on all web sites. In my opinion Firefox 4 & 5 are not and improvement over FF3. I also have this concern listed on the question page along with 48 others in one week.

Suddenly today I am unable to view my Google Calendar via Firefox. But I can view it with Internet Explorer. What gives?

Suddenly today I am unable to view my Google Calendar via Firefox. But I can view it with Internet Explorer. What gives?

I have tried deleting all cookies and cache several times, but nothing works. I can open Google calendar but when I click on any entry I just get a blank box. If I try to make a new event entry nothing happens. Everything works fine in Internet Explorer.
I am really getting tired of constant problems with Firefox. Every week I have something that doesn't work. One time it's downloading videos, the next week music or email, now Google calendar. I am about ready to give up Firefox forever.

Safari cannot open pages, but firefox can.

My daughters Mac Mini has started strange behaviour. Safari will not open most websites (says it can't connect), but Firefox can. This includes sites such as Google and Yahoo, that open on Safari on the other Macs in our home.
Network diagnostics says the machine is connected to the internet (via Airport). Software Update cannot connect either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi William,
Try these suggestions, as they usually remedy the situation your trying to resolve:
Open System Preferences>Network panel
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Check "Airport" and deselect the others, unless you use a BlueTooth device. Move Airport to the top of the list. Select "apply".
-Back to the "Show" menu, select "Airport". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter on separate lines in the DNS servers box 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (these are Verizon codes, available to anyone).
In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
Restart the computer/Safari.

I have the latest edition of the Flash player and it works fine with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I can play things because I dont have it

Since I updated Firefox I cant play anything that requires Flash player. I have the up to date player and it works perfectly with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I need another plug in and when I follow the instructions it says 'download failed try manual download' but even that fails too.
Before I updated Firefox I had no issues, can you help
Alan.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

When I try to add a photo to my iPhoto library from Safari I get a message that says Safari can't communicate with afar. How do I fix this so I can just add photos direct to iPhoto?

When I try to add a photo from and email in Safari, I get a message that says could not add photo Safari cannot communicate with iPhoto.
How can I get them to communicate? Or, more to the point, how can I get a photo from Safari (usually attached to an email) into iPhoto library?

iPhoto is 7.1.5
That's much too old. To solve the problem, you'll have to uninstall iLife completely, then upgrade to the current version of iPhoto in the App Store.

My safari can connect to the Internet, but other apps can't. I am using ipad3 wifi edition

My safari can connect to the Internet, but other apps can't. I am using ipad3 wifi edition

I have managed to resolve it. What I found is I typed in a wrong password when one app loaded. That app gave a misleading network connectivity error. Other apps are connecting fine now.

Safari won't connect to internet but other browsers will

Firefox and Chrome can connect to the internet but since upgrading to Yosemite, Safari, iTunes and other Apple Apps have an exceedingly difficult time connecting to the internet. (ie server not found) I have to resort to turning off/on my wifi and/or restarting my computer. All other non-Apple applications can access the internet just fine.

I, too, am experiencing this problem. It occurs with both Safari and Firefox. It wasn't bad at the start; occasionally what seemed like my internet would cut out while I was surfing, but then the problem began to last for longer durations. As of this morning, I've been trying to get Safari to open for two hours with no success.
Here's the specifics. I open Safari. Most times, the load bar will extend about 1/6 the length and stop, displaying my homepage address in the address bar. Sometimes, the load bar will creep halfway, and part of my homepage will appear; typically, images don't load, and sometimes the page format gets wonky. Rarely, the homepage will fully load! I can even move through the homepage's image slideshow seamlessly. However, if I try to go to another page, I'm back at the 1/6 occurrence. Very rarely, everything works fine. Closing the laptop or Quitting Safari kills the connection, and I have to start this stupid process all over again. Finally, Firefox is either all or nothing; either the pages load and work fine, or nothing works at all.
I've done a DNS manual adjustment, I've created a specific Network, I've unchecked Safari from the iCloud options, I've run scans for malware and viruses (and came out clean), and I've done a clean reinstall of Yosemite. There's no need for me to tweak my router or contact my ISP; every other wireless application in our house is functioning perfectly. It's not the wifi.
Nothing's working, and I'm about to throw my computer out a window (not really, just frustrated). Any help would be so very appreciated.
