Safari not connecting but Firefox working

Have been having problems connecting to my home wireless system today. Finally resolved that issue but now only the Firefox browser is working not safari. I'm sure I've reset something wrong but what any ideas?

Use Spotlight to search for a file called login.keychain. Users/YourUserName/Library(which is a hidden folder and won't show in Finder)/Keychains. Click Go in the menu bar then Go to Folder and type in /Users/YourUserName/Library and hit the enter key. Look down the list of folder and find Keychains. The "login.keychain" file should be inside.

It's stands to reason, that Mail is outdated. Use Software Update to update your os as well as Mail and anything else that needs to be updated showing up in Software Update.

Safari not loading pages, Firefox working fine

Hi there,
My Safari has not been working for about 6 months now, thought it's about time I did some troubleshooting.
Pages just refuse to load. The blue progress bar stays in the same spot and doesn't move.
I have performed several updates since it stopped working, most recently updated to Safari 5.0.6 - and still nothing.
Firefox works without a problem though..
Things I have tried:
Running Safari on another user account
Reinstalling and rolling back to earlier versions of Safari.
Deleting all add-ons in InputManager folders (Both home and HD directories)
Repairing HD in DIsk Utility
Really unsure what to try next, any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you have problems with apps in more then one account, it's possible the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility and verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.

I have a MAC running 10.6. I cant get firefox to connect to the internet unless I first open Safari and connect. Firefox works fine after that. This is a new problem on my machine How do I correct for this?

When I boot my Mac (Snowleapord 10.6) and attempt to start Firefox, the system alerts me that it cannot find the internet and requests that I try again. It is not until I start Safari, establish a connection that I can get firefox to work. This is a new problem. Until recently, things worked fine. How do I resolve this issue?

Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns

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.

I'm afraid you'll have to get the phone serviced, dropping the phone must have damaged additional parts inside the phone.
But Apple will not service the phone anymore, opening the phone and replacing the battery should only be done by authorized personal, not by users.
You'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop and see if they can fix this, sorry.

Hi there!
do you test other browsers?
i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

They are not a supported carrier. You'll have to take it up with them.

That page's troubleshooting for the "Filter failed" message worked out. I consulted the Wiki before but never found that exact page. I guess I didn't use the best search criteria. Thanks for pointing it out.

HT201412 Can't get on FaceTime says wifi not connected but I can get mail, how?

Can't get FaceTime to work, my wifi says not connected but I can still get mail, how can this happen?

I was having the same problem. I've probably screwed things up royally by doing so, but I just went ahead and created another Apple ID with a different email address, and will inform anyone who I will be using FaceTime with to use the new one. I tried using the "multiple ID finder" thing but it only ever returned the ID I'm using right now; I can't verify the email address this ID is associated with for some reason.
It's a clusterfark.

the problem stated that the internet is not connected, but that is not the case.

I had the same issue and I'm running Windows 7. Tried working with technical support for several hours but they were no help. They just had me doing the same things over and over, offering no real answers. I finally got fed up and have decided to return my product for a full refund.

My laptop will not connect to firefox as my browser using my lg adroid as adaptor hotspot. Says windows can not find firefox on my computer.

The connection is extremely slow and will not connect to firefox. It will not connect to yahoo.com as my homepage. But it will connect to facebook. My LG-MS770_991 is my portable hotspot and is wi-fi configured. Cell phone provider is MetroPcs.

Please update to version 24.0 when you have the chance. Please also check with another browser to see if you can reproduce the issue.
thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

Annoying Mail problem -- Mail thinks it's not connected, but it is.

My mail.app shows warning icons (grayed out exclamation points) to the right of each of my email accounts. Even though I am able to receive/send, mail seems to think the connection is not working. When I click on the icon, it reads:
*There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “(accountname)” or try again.*
*The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server “(servername.com)” failed.*
The stupid thing about this is, it's connected, and I'm getting my mail. On occasion, one of the accounts will get grayed out and seemingly be not connected, but for the most part, I am able to send and receive mail fine.
All of my accounts are IMAP and I am using port 26 to send since my ISP blocks port 25, and I've been doing this with no problems for years...now all of a sudden it's become a problem.
-Ken

I am having a very similar problem with Mail.app and four IMAP accounts, checking every minute.
I'm getting those little grey exclamation warning triangles and it's not consistent which one appears. Sometimes even two appear.
I can reliably send e-mail from a grey account, which automatically turns the warning off, but checking e-mail on an account that has gone grey doesn't work.
Connection doctor reliably shows green lights all the way. The only workaround I've found is to "Go offline" and then "Go online" ... this seems to temporarily clear the clog but it's not a real solution.
I've tried restarting, etc. but this issue hasn't gone away. Perhaps this is an issue that has cropped up in a recent update?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
