Sites blocked in China still blocked on my macbook pro in US

Since I've returned to the US from China, where Facebook and Youtube have been blocked for months, I haven't able to access those sites from my macbook pro here at home. I know there is no problem with the connection in my home, because I've tried accessing those sites on a other macs from my home simultaneously, and only had the connection problem from mine. Is it possible that some block got installed on my computer through the internet in China? How can I resolve this problem? (I've already tried accessing the sites from different servers; Safari, and Firefox which I just installed in the US, with no luck).

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility. You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply. You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler. If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish. However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
Ask again. I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice. As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities. At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?

Will Apple give me anything to trade-in a water-damaged (still functional but hurting) MacBook Pro [Purchased new Dec. 2010]?
Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you

The techs at Apple do have some lattitude in what they can offer. And it won't hurt to ask, and if they did help you out, it would be your one and only "save" for the rest of your life probably. Since you bought yours back in 2010, I doubt they would do anything. If it were a brand new unit, they may have some sympathy. But in your case, I'd say probably not.

[HELP!!!]iCloud, Mac appstore not connecting, ever since I move to china bot in ipad and macbook pro

since I move to china a week ago i realize base on my personal experience that the country is definitely no mac friendly, which is unfortunate for me since i own a macbook pro, iphone and ipad, and i tell you why. ever since i move to china it seems that most of internet related services that apple offer in the mountain lion seemed to be useless, firstly, I can't connect to the mac app store, secondly, i can't connect to the iCloud to do backups for my ipad and iphone and sync notes, and lastly, although not a big lost for me but still noticable is that the help center no longer able to find help if needed from the internet. oh yeah and the safari seems to work slower. I tried to search for any person that are in similar situation like me but no ane seems to be in one therefore I started this discussion. please help me out...
to give you guys a heads up, looking at all the problems the patterns seems to relate with the apple connections only, I use a mid 2009 macbookpro from Australia, and I bought the mountaion lion from an indonesian appstore, currently my feelings leads to the fact that my mountain lions that are not bought from chinese mac appstore is the reasons, since i read from some articles that the mountain lions that were released in china are different witht he rest of the world.
any help or solution in order to make my mac working normal again is very much welcome, cheers guys

WPA2 still broken on my MacBook Pro

I bought a MacBook Pro, and as of 10.4.7, WPA2 performance was poor.
I bought Leopard and installed a FRESH copy. No upgrade.
WPA2 performance is still POOR. I cannot visit many sites.
All HTTPS sites timeout and fail.
How do I get this fixed?

I believe the bug exists in the fact that wpa2 cannot be chosen and locked in, but wpa2 does work. I use two different routers with only wpa2 authentication with AES encryption and my macbook pro can connect to both, flawlessly, no dropouts, no interruptions of any kind, both operating at 5Ghz with average 216mb/sec connection speed. I'm sure apple will get around to fixing the gui where wpa/wpa2 is chosen.

Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power, My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power

My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on

Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.

Is iMessages still available to the macbook pro?

I downloaded the imessages beta for the macbook pro until recently when it stopped working. I tried to uninstall and then reinstal it except i couldn't find the download link on the apple site anymore. Is it no longer available?

Wait until Mountain Lion is released. It is going to included with Mountain Lion.
Best.

Will Time Machine Still Back Up if Macbook Pro is Closed?

I'm wondering if time machine wil still back up my files if I close the lid of my Macbook Pro? I've thought about getting a program called "Caffine", which keeps the screen running indefinitely in order to keep process running. I could just run that, and then dim the screen to conserve power. However, I'd like to avoid this if possible, as I'm sure in the long run it might be taxing on the backlight. So I want to know if I close the lid, will time machine still run? Or do processes stop when you close it?
I should mention I'm not backing up to an actual Time Machine, but rather to a 1 TB external HD.

Power Nap?
Yes. Power Nap did not exist two years ago, in early 2012, when this topic was last active. Now, hardware compatible with Power Nap will back up, among other things, while sleeping. See:

solved i think...
this from Kimomik on the flickr forums
Solved!
I had the same issue: Aperture 2.1, MBP and external display, color shifting in full screen mode.
Searching on the net, I found the following article on apple web site and applied its fix even if the article is dated from June 2006... It worked for me!
# Open the Color Sync utility, located at /Applications/Utilities.
# Click the Devices icon.
# Click the disclosure triangle next to Displays.
# Select your second display.
# Click the Make Default button.
Here is the article: docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303891
I hope it will work for you too.

Having multiple iDevices, messaging is becoming a nuisance. I can disable on iphones and iPad, but but I'd still like texting on macbook pro but not group. How to disable, other than delete app?

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.

HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

Can I capture still photos off my macbook pro?

Can this be done?

Screenshots? Sure! Use any of the following
shift-cmd-3 for the whole screen
shift-cmd-4 to create a crosshair which you can then drag into a rectangle to capture that area
or,
shift-cmd-4, then hit the space bar to show a camera icon, move that icon over any open window and click to capture just that window.
Screenshot images will get saved to your desktop.
If you see an image on a webpage you want to capture, you can usually just drag that image to your desktop to save it. (Unless it's part of a Flash page or a background image.)

InDesign CS4 install (new & upgrade) still freezes on new MacBook Pro.

Have a stupid question:
WHY HAS ADOBE NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE.....RATHER THAH CONTINUING TO ASK THE CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT?
The company's customer base is boiling over with customers who've paid for and received a NONWORKING product. A defective product. Period. If this were a prescription drug or a car, the govt would have ordered recalls by now.
Adobe's labrynthine, convoluted recommended "fixes" (delete and reinstall all your Adobe products....reinstall your system software .... go stand in the rain and burn incense to the gods .... whatever) is like Ford Motor telling the customer: "Yes, we admit that make and model has a major defect. But, hey, at least we feel bad about it. Try taking the car apart and rebuilding it. See if that works.)
Eeegads.
For the record: Only SOME of the people with the Install/Setup issue (installer freezes at about 90% while checking system profiler) have inadequate hardware. Most have adequate hardware. So spare us this "the customer is stooopid" defense. We're not stupid. We're angry.
I've read the bulletin boards. So has Adobe. We all know Adobe produced a seriously flawed installer; they know it, too. They know it because zillions of us of us HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH ADOBE STAFF, WHO CONFIRM THAT (A) OUR HARDWARE IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE AND (B) THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE TO DO. Other tearing the computer apart and rebuilding it, I mean.
This is one of the largest software makers in the world. They have enough programmers and engineers working in their corporate coffee shop to fix this thing. (1) produce a NEW installer that is not affected by whatever it is that is affecting the current one. (Am I genius or what?)
(2) distribute a two-part installer that first scans and fixes the obstacle -- and THEN installs the Adobe product.
(3) Hire a third-party vendor to figure this out for Adobe.
Adobe failure/refusal to do this -- more than eight months after being made aware of the problem -- is not one of this company's finer moments.

First. I sense you're on the verge of a full blown rant. Keep in mind that this is a user to user forum so please stay calm. Ranting at us won't help you. For that please contact Adobe directly.
While there are certainly people having issues, measuring those issues in a support forum is like going to a body shop and declaring that all cars crash into something.
Most users don't have any issue at all but there are certainly too many to call it acceptable. That said, the first thing to do is run the CS4 clean script:

Hello, I be glad an answer, I lose 20, 30, sometimes 50, 70, 80-100% power energy on standby every 8-24 hours. After reinstalation OSX still it is. MacBook Pro from February, I so disappointed of this product. Please for help.

PS. Battery was checked and is good.

Andrzej,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

FF8.01 is blocking me opening some links in various websites that will open in IE. I have added the URL to pop up blocker and tried hitting Cntrl and clicking but still blocks from opening?

At URL:
http://www.directmail.com/directory/mail_preference/Default.aspx?ref=G
after filling out form on right and clicking submit, nothing happens- being blocked. Opens fine in IE??????
Have several other URL's where this also happens.

I now have Firefox 26 and I still have this problem. Even with the blocker off it still blocks the popups I want and displays the yellow bar. Very very annoying....
Is there any kind of way to trace why the blocker decided to block a page?
