Safari, Itunes, Software Update all can't connect?!

Seems like a growing problem, but I'll share mine.
Updated to the new software updates this week and now Safari, Itunes store, and software update cannot connect. i can't get any website to open on safari, can't access the Itunes store and can't access the software update function.
Internet connection is is fine as Firefox working without a glitch.
Any suggestions???

Wow. I feel like an absolute fool.
I went to System Preferencences/Network/Assist me/Assistant/ and created a new location instead of the default "automatic" and works fine.
Thanks so much and sorry for the bother.

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, 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!

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 ?

Wireless is connected, but cannot use safari, itunes, software update

Im having trouble with my macbook pro right now. The network diagnostics show that my connection is fine, but safari won't connect to any sites.
With safari, it doesn't say anything about not being able to connect, it just shows the loading icon on the url bar and a white page.
iTunes won't connect, and same with Software update. I do not have any antivirus right now.
My time machine is working, but that uses a different router(the one on the time machine)
Ive tried resetting safari among other things and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
This should be checked!
It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!

Can't connect to the software update server, can't connect to the software update server

please advise, I like to update my iphone 4 and ipad 2 to 5.1 but I cant connect to the software update server. I've been trying to connect since yesterday. Is anybody have an idea why?

If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
You can Google Public DNS if you want

Safari - Itunes - Software Update - iChat : do not open anymore

Hi
Everything went fine the last few months. Then suddenly these apps didn't pop up anymore when I clicked on the icons. I tried to run them through Application folder - no success.
I tried to open another Admin account - didn't help
I tried to reinstall Safari from DVD - didn't help
The day before this happened I synchronised my Powerbook with my MacPro through .Mac - could this be the reason?
Please help
Many thanks

Hi Swissboy,
Do the applications appear to be running - i.e. do the menu items appear at the top and the small black triangle is present under the Dock icons?
If so, did you also synchronise some fonts while you were updating things? Sometimes a screwy font setting can do this. Check in FontBook to see if you have any duplicates and resolve them if necessary. Refer to the FontBook help on how to resolve duplicates if you're not sure how.

Installer & software update all not working now along with safari & itunes

hi all
I've posted this under the safari beta for mac area (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1148867&tstart=0) as well but as it relates to several issues, i wanted to put it here and see if anyone here at any ideas.
yesterday i installed the new version of itunes and safari 3 beta. as i was half way through the safari installation i lost my wireless connection and had to then force quit the process. since then, my itunes, safari and software update and installer programs are not working.
i've tried downloading previous versions of everything but when i go to install them the installer appears and then dissapears just as quickly. on top of that when i click on itunes from the dock, it bounces like it is about to load up and then stops and doesn't. finally, when i go to click on software update from System Preferences, I get an error message "Preferences Error, Could not load Software Update".
this includes my trying to download and install the mac osx 10.4.10 combined update to 'fix' everything but as mentioned above the installer appears for a second and then dissapears again without doing anything.
over to you all for any and all help.
thanks in advance

Any help would be greatly appreciated because whilst i am getting by using firefox, my little girls songs are on itunes and i need to get into them (anyone with kids will understand my pain).
thanks

If you downloaded the update from the phone, and using an older version of iTunes, yes that should do it.

You can download app updates on your computer's iTunes and then sync those updates to your device(s) - that is the computer that you sync the device(s) to ?
When you connect a device to a computer's iTunes, then on its Apps tab you should be able to scroll through the listbox of apps and click the 'Update' button next to the apps that have updates on your computer that you want to sync to the device, and then click the Apply/Sync button bottom right of the screen.

Unable to connect to network with Safari and Software Update

A user I support has encountered a problem with networking. He is unable to connect to the network with Safari and Software Update, but IS able to connect and surf with Foxfire and some other programs. Another unusual symptom is that he actually can connect to one web site (which is in his Bookmarks Bar) with Safari, but can't connect to anything else. He's also unable to navigate off of that one site he connects to. When he runs Network Diagnostics, he gets all green lights (no problems). He has fixed permissions, deleted Safari Cache and .plist, rebooted - not fixed yet. He's using 10.4.8 on a PowerPC G4. Any ideas appreciated (this is the wierdest I've seen in a while!).

Here's what he did. After reading your post, he created another location in his network preferences, entering EXACTLY the same info that was in his old location (he even used the old DNS addresses), except using a new location name. Then he chose the new location and "everything worked". It's one of life's great mysteries. Thanks for your help - it is appreciated.

Safari and Software Update wont open anymore when connected to internet.

My Safari and Software update and Internet Explorer cannot connect to the internet anymore after 4 years even when I'm connected to the internet... I once got a 'Posix 54' error message. Firefox does not have a problem!
I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.2. Which I reinstalled just now, Xmas 07 and reinstalled all the software with no luck. I've wasted three days trying to solve this problem. Can any one help please. London UK.

Hi,
Check under here to see if you have any proxies selected. If you do, unselect them and retry the applications.
System Preferences -> Network -> (Your connection method) -> Proxies

Widgets, Safari, Software Update -- All not working since I got Comcast

My Dashboard, Safari and Software Update have not worked since I got Comcast internet. I'm pretty sure their installer screwed up something, but I don't know how to undo it. Firefox, Adium, Mail and other internet applications all work great.
I tried to fix the Software Updater problem a while ago and was able to get it to see what is available (by adding swquery.apple.com to the sites that bypass proxy settings), but it still refuses to download anything.
I can't help but think there's one thing that's causing all this trouble. Any thoughts?

You can have up to 5 computers authorized at one time with iTunes. There's no reason to deauthorize until you want to go over the limit. You can do this once a year. Do a clean install of the OS on the mac you are selling.

On my ipad I updated my itunes software. All my existing apps were wiped out. How do I revive them?

On my ipad I updated my itunes software. All my existing apps were wiped out. How do I revive them?
I do not know the operating system name, but it was the operation system that came with my ipad. This ipad was the first ipad system that was sols by apple.

You seem like a person who knows their stuff. I seek some advice in regards to in app purchase issuse after changing apple id and details. I played on my partners iPad he got me my own but my games were purchased via his apple I'd. His work email I'd so we temporarily changed his appple I'd to what I use and account card/billing details, password etc to what suited me. Then backed up connected the new iPad and did a restore. One of my games dont have a in game save/load feature to move game hence the backup and restore so I don't loose progress. Only problem is i tried to do a in app purchase to see if then game file moved correctly and it seems to never connect to server unless I sign out of store and in again then prompt to purchase comes up. After that password yet no product it don't download. Could it be that it is because he has re created his old I'd that i changedup again as new? As before he did that when I tried to purchase I was promptly asked for confirmation but he never let me complete the purchase kept saying its worked. Or is it something else?

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:
How to tell if Software Update for Windows is working correctly when no updates are available
(not entirely sure of course, given the Windows Update reference.)

Safari, Itunes, Software Update all can't connect?!
