Social network / domain access problems

I have had a problem loggin on to my yahoo messenger and other social networking application ever since my upgrade to leopard v.10.6.8. It was reported to me on other discussion sites that some networks have had issues with several newer versions of Mac OS...
To explain my problems further... when I try logging onto Yahoo for instance.. It goes on to log and the waiting icon just keeps rolling forever.
Some sites I try to view thrue either Chrome or Safari, I get this error message : Safari can't open the page "http//.whateverthedomainname.com, because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes and try again.
Now this message has been coming in from several internet pages and has been going on for several days. So its obviously not a domain problem.
I have tried re-installing my applications, emptied cache, resetted safari, and so far nothing.
Thank you for your input.

ok ... I was hoping to edit my post..couldn't find how...
This is the stragest thing...
One of the networking application I can not use is Secondlife...using either Phoenix or V2. And the strangest thing...if I enter any sort of search onto google that includes "secondlife" in it...I can not access it!!!!!
Now this is out of my league...help please...

  • Weird and bizarre domain access problem - is there a fix?

    Since yesterday I can't access www.dvxuser.com although friends, my ISP support desk and domain testing utilities on the web say it's up and runnning fine. Every other site I need or try is working fine. I've rebooted routers, and iMac a couple of times but the problem remains.
    Is it possible that I've accidentally done something locally that will block just an individual site? I certainly didn't deliberately do it, or attempt to block any site.
    I'm trying to get some information from the site urgently, and am completely stumped by this problem.

    Try this:
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:

  • Leopard Windows Networking/Share Access Problem Solution

    Problem Solved!!
    I just got my very first Mac 2 days ago. A Mac Book. Right out of the box I was able to see all the Windows PCs on my home network. 3 XP machines and 1 Vista machine. But somewhere along the way probably after the first reboot I was no longer able to see the machines or the shares. Tried a lot of things that I found on this forum. What worked is the following
    Changes all my windows PCs from DHCP to Static IP
    Left my Mac Book still as DHCP
    Updated the /etc/hosts file on my Macbook with the IP address and names of all my Windows PCs
    The first time around went into Finder/Go/Connect Server and typed in smb://windowspcname/share
    Voila!! I got connected. It asked for the ID/pwd that I want to use to connect to my Vista and XP machines and bingo I was connected and that server now appeared in my Network and Shares. Once I did that with one PC the rest of them automagically appeared. If they don't simply connect manually once. Thereafter they will appear automatically in your Network and Shares.
    Works great for me!!

  • MS Access connectivity gets slow when connecting insidde network domain

    Hello,<o:p></o:p>
    We've created an application based on Excel VBA that connects to an access DB located at the file server in our network domain. Now I'm installing
    same app in another server for another domain, but the connection is really slow so the app hangs while retrieving information from the .mdb file located at the server.<o:p></o:p>
    I created a local environment in my computer to test and realized as as soon as I connect the network cable the connection to the DB get slow, but
    when I unplug the network cable the app start to responding as usual.<o:p></o:p>
    I'm using Ole DB jet 4.0 with the following connection string:<o:p></o:p>
    cnt.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source= MasterDB ;Jet OLEDB:Database Password= 12345;"<o:p></o:p>
    It seems that the problem it is related to some authentication on the server that makes the connectivity slow because it has not sense to me that
    when I connect the network cable and log into the domain the speed goes down even if the application is looking to the DB file in mi local hard drive.<o:p></o:p>

    I'd try them over here.

  • Navigation/BBM/Social network/ problem - How to contact BB ?

    Hey everyone,
    I have a BB curve 3G bought in France, but unlocked by my telephone operator there.
    I moved to Canada and get a internet cell phone plan (with Fido) but it seems that it doesn't work here... :-( I can call, send text message, but navigating, BBM or social networking don't work.
    They told me my french phone doesn't  "take care" the Fido network...
    Anyways, they asked me to contact blackberry for a reboot or something like that.
    The thing is I can't find a phone number or an email adress to contact technical support !
    If anyone experienced the same problem than I or knows how to contact BB, please let me know !
    Thanks for your help !

    Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
    Front line support for BB's is, by contract, not provided by RIM. The carriers and authorized resellers are responsible for front line formal support to end users. It is possible to bypass your carrier and seek assistance direct from RIM, but such involves fees since you are bypassing your support agreement with your carrier. The "Support and Services" tab toward the top of these forum pages provide information about that. But, if you do go through your carrier for support, they can escalate into RIM at no fee to you if they so choose to.
    What you are attempting is actually a rather complicated thing. But, if you desire to ask other users for specific assistance about how to get the most use out of your BB, then this forum would indeed be the correct place for that.
    Good luck!
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

  • Problems with mail, messags, and social network accounts

    Hi,
    first of all, sorry for my bad English.
    I would like to know if there is a maximum limit of accounts (email, social network, etc. etc.) that OS10 can handle.
    On my Passport (OS10 Version 10.3.0.675) I have the following:
    - 1 BBM
    - 1 WhatsApp
    - 1 Facebook
    - 12 Mail
    Now, when I try to insert another account (for example mail or Twitter), I recived the following error message: 
    "The maxximum accounts has been reached".
    Is that right?
    With the Z10 and the Q10, if I remember correctly, I did not have this problem.
    I need to add more email accounts, someone can help me?
    Thank you all.
    I'M NOT LAZY,
    I JUST DON'T GIVE NOTHING!

    Let me see what I can find out and I'll get back to you when I know more! Thanks

  • Problem using social network in c7

    when i open social network widget in my c7 its give an error report (sorry, please uninstall and reinstall communities) what should i do now??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    no you will not lose any of your data as it only restore your phone settings instead of formatting, in restore factory settings there is two options, 1)restore 2) delete all data and restore, you just have to click on restore (be carefull do not click on delete all data and restore otherwise you'll lose all your data) after restoring just go to ovi suite on your pc and update your phone.

    Uninstall social from settings>installations>already installed. Remove social, social install helper, social installer, Facebook widget, Facebook widget, homescreen summary widget, all activity widget. Fire up the software update app on your phone. You should get prompt for the new social. Download and install. Should work properly now.

  • Problems posting Video into Social Network Site

    Many social networking sites don't allow audios or videos to
    be posted to their blog via the use of iframe. I've successfully
    used the following code on a ning.com blog:
    <object type="text/html" data="
    http://www.deskping.com/PlayWeb.aspx?IsPlayList=False&MediaId=6c12a24d-af46-4ed5-b947-b778 53b6e3c2&width=320&height=265&playerStyle=V001&scrollingText
    = " width="320" height="265"> </object>
    That code will not post the video to a social site called
    yuwie.com.
    I've contacted Yuwie support about how to post to them. All
    they say is:
    "Your object type is text/html we don't show objects of that
    type because you're basically trying to embed another web page into
    your profile. We don't allow this for security reasons. What other
    sites do is irrelevant... You can easily just embed it with the
    standard flash embed code."
    Can anyone give some guidance here on how to configure code
    that would work in the listed social site?
    Your help appreciated.

    .. So does anybody have any suggestions on how to get a video to play on a WordPress.org post
    why not asking the experts at http://wordpress.org/support/ ?
    your prob has little to do with 'video production on a Mac', but 'supported codecs, plugins and embedding video on wordpress.org' ..
    the Search-word 'video' at the wp-support spits out some good discriptions ..

  • I installed a version of Firefox 6.0. in the Russian program, the social network for sending a short message, I can not insert a file in the message field.

    I installed a version of 6.0. In the Russian program of social network My World by sending a short message, I can not insert a file in the message or photo. How do I solve this key problems?

    I need to access Network Solutions website builder too. It isn't compatible with Internet Explorer v9, Chrome v13, or Firefox v5! I believe Firefox v6 is out now. This is a Network Solution's problem. What's involved in rolling back? Can you still get add-ons, plugins, and extensions for such an older version? You can't save your personal preferences can you?

  • Proxy server access problems

    Hello all, I'm hoping to find a network wizard for this one...
    First let me say that I have no IT support from work as they do not support Mac hardware. And the team that set up the site for us to use have no interest or time in giving us any help getting this set up for Mac since it works for PC just fine. Man I hate living in a PC world.
    So it is out of sheer stubbornness and love for my mac that I am trying find the answer to my dilemma, which is this:
    Setting up my Mac to access a proxy server does not seem to be giving me the same results as setting my windows box to access the same proxy server; and I can't figure out why. Here are the details:
    There is a social networking control panel that I need to log in to and administer for my work. The powers that be have set up IP filtering on that site as a means of security. Only an IP from inside the company's network can access the site.
    I work from home and have an IP external to the company's network. To get around the problem of access to the site the administrators set up a Web Proxy for us to use.
    To access the web proxy, we first have to set up a VPN session with the corporate network. This is done by logging in through a corporate portal, authenticating credentials, at which point a program called Network Connect makes the VPN connection. The proxy will not work without first making this connection.
    The problem occurs trying to connect to the proxy. I login using Safari ok. Then I'll go to System Preferences > Network > Configure > Proxies and enter in the IP for the HTTP and HTTPS. I no longer have internet access at this point which I take to mean the proxy is not working for me.
    If it helps, to get this to work on Windows, I take the following steps; Login to the coporate network via portal site using Internet Explorer. I go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings and enter in the IP for the proxy server. At which point I still have internet access and I can now access the site I need for my work.
    I've always thought that whatever you could do on Windows, you could do on a Mac. It seems like this should be something simple; like some little nuance between how each OS works with proxy servers. I've tried a troubleshot a lot of different connection approaches but still nothing. I've got my fingers crossed here guys. Please help!

    Then I'll go to System Preferences > Network > Configure > Proxies and enter in the IP for the HTTP and HTTPS. I no longer have internet access at this point which I take to mean the proxy is not working for me.
    I do not know the answer to your query. But I do know that the things you enter into the Network Preferences act LOCALLY, and kill your connection. That is not where the stuff you want should be entered.

  • Push notifications for the social networking are not working. How to fix it?

    Try to solve the problem of push notifications of social networking apps which are not working on my iphone 4. Fix it please..!

    If you go to settings-->general-->accessibility then scroll down you'll see "increase contrast." Turn that off and your control center and notification center should become more transparent. I had the same problem and that's how I fixed it! Hope it works :)

  • How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

    When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
    "Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
    Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

    Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
    Then update the contact with the relevant info.
    For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

  • 701 Mail, Calendar, Social network and Web bug.

    Hello
    im pretty satisfied with my 701 but just right now i started to experience bugs. let me explain
    Calendar- sometime (always when i go through widget) when i open a calendar, it opens a speciffic day (the one that is actual), and im unable to select month or any other view point, and i cannot see any of my notes in the calendar until i restart my phone.
    Mail- widget sometimes doesnt refresh inbox even though i have it set on 15 mins. (happend last time for a week. thought i had no mail, instead i found 10 new messages.) also sometimes my mailbox wont open using widget, only with a normal Email icon.
    Social network just doesnt want to open at all. says (in translation something like "Unable to launch the client"
    Web- even though i have 3g network signal and mobile data are turned ON, opera mobile, and Web client (the nokia one) both cannot connect to the internet for some time.
    i tried backing up my phone data (not applications only galery, phonebook, music, ebooks etc and videos) and erasing (reseting) my settings. when i turned my phone on again, it asked me to enter time, date, my nokia account etc. as if i just bought the phone. then i loaded my backup files. email looks like its working again, calendar got stuck just today again... social network still doesnt work, web still cannot connect to 3g network sometimes.. 
    dunno what else to try, starting to be little angry, since calendar and web are the things i use more often then sms and calls. 
    is this common? will there be an update to fix this? or is there a simple solution to my prob?
    i would add an attachment supplying info about my phone but i have no idea where to get such file.
    thanks for help.
