Some Help Here Please

Please read the following and let me know if it makes sense at all..
Thanks for any feedback.
Tai P: Thank you, and what technical issue may we assist you with?
VictorPettus: access to www.ctcbookstore.com
Tai P: Then
VictorPettus: Then?
Tai P: You did not give me any descriptions of the problem.
VictorPettus: I need to be able to access the website 216.58.234.195
VictorPettus: I can't seem to access this website
Tai P: I see, so you can not access to that website.
Tai P: Do you have any errors?
VictorPettus: no
Tai P: Only one website you can not access?
VictorPettus: yes
Tai P: Are you using Internet Explorer as your web browser?
VictorPettus: Safari
Tai P: Do you have a router or any other type of home networking device installed?
VictorPettus: Safari can t open the page.Safari could not open the page http://www.ctcbookstore.com/ because the server stopped responding
Tai P: That error indicates the server of the website is not responding or the firewall keeps blocking the connection to the server.
VictorPettus: Yes, and I already tried removing the router, rebooting my computer, rebooting the cable modem and connecting to the website, with the same results
VictorPettus: OK, one more question, are you able to access the website?
Tai P: I can open the website here without problem, it could be the firewall in your computer.
VictorPettus: Not turned on
Tai P: Or spyware related problem.
VictorPettus: Spyware?
Tai P: Have you cleared the cookies, cache in your browser?
VictorPettus: Yes
Tai P: Yes, spyware could block the website.
VictorPettus: I will have to ask the people at Apple about the spyware problem
Tai P: Do you have different browser?
VictorPettus: Or do you think it's spyware on some other computer
VictorPettus: I have netscape, firefox, IE, and AOL for Mac OS X
Tai P: Have you tried all of them?
VictorPettus: Yes, AOL for Mac OS X works
VictorPettus: but none of the others
Tai P: Then the spyware problem that hijacked your browser.
VictorPettus: all of them?
Tai P: If one of them work then nothing is wrong with modem or server.
Tai P: You may check those browser settings or router settings.
VictorPettus: OK, so AOL is working, that eliminates the modem and server...Now we are narrowing the problem down to... the Browser or the Router...correct?
Tai P: If your IP is blocked or Road Runner blocked the domain you can not open it with AOL browser.
Tai P: That is correct.
VictorPettus: Wonderful, so..If I remove the router completely, and the problem is still the same, then that would mean the four browsers I have are all hijacked by spyware?
Tai P: It could be that.
VictorPettus: Or?
Tai P: The problem is locally only.
Tai P: You need to bypass router to pin point problem step by step.
Tai P: Are there any other technical issues with which we may assist you?
VictorPettus: yes
VictorPettus: what are the pin point procedures?
VictorPettus: I would like to do a process of elimination to get to the exact source of the problem
Tai P: Connect the computer which have the browser problem to the modem to see if it can access the website.
VictorPettus: The problem is the same
Tai P: Then your browser problem, update the anti spyware and anti virus program then run the scans to clean up any spyware or virus could cause the problem.
VictorPettus: I have another question, are there any USB drivers that would allow the SB4220 to connect to a iMac?
Tai P: Nope, we don't have USB driver for Apple computer.
VictorPettus: Is there another modem?
Tai P: We don't have the modem to support USB connection to Macintosh computer now.
VictorPettus: I see, well I will contact Apple to find some Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus removal software. Have any other customers ever mentioned having this type of problem before?
Tai P: Yes, and some cases were the spyware problem or the IP was blocked by the host server.
Tai P: In your case the IP is not blocked.
Tai P: Or the router firewall or computer firewall blocks the site.
VictorPettus: Wonderful, I really appreciate your help in resolving this. I will contact Apple immediately, I don't like the the thought of spyware, and since I've already tried removing the router and turning off all firewalls, I know it must be Spyware
Tai P: You're very welcome.
VictorPettus: And we also know that the IP is not blocked
Tai P: Have a good night!
VictorPettus: I won't until this is resolved
VictorPettus: but thank you
Tai P: That is correct, otherwise you can not access it by AOL browser.
VictorPettus: please send a copy of this chat session to my email address
Tai P: Sure.
Tai P: If you have no further issues that we can assist you with, you may end the chat session by clicking on the X button and a chat transcript will be displayed for you. Once again thank you for choosing Road Runner!

craj --
Wow!
OK, I can access the site just fine through Safari.
Now that we've read this amazing exchange and have an idea of what you're dealing with, get back to us with more specific details, OK? By the way, who did you call for that "customer support???"
Please don't worry about spyware.
It's 99% positive that that is not your problem.
Couple of questions for you, OK?
1. What OS are you using?
2. Who is your ISP? Is it RoadRunner?
3. Is this the ONLY site that you can't access?????
4. So AOL can access it, but Safari, IE, netscape & firefox can't?
Is that correct?
5. Do you have Norton or Virex on there????
Get back to us, OK?
This is fascinating . . .

    hire a team of skilled programmers, put them in a cage and
    toss money at
    them.
    or spend a lot of time learning how to do it yourself.
    or try a free or commercial pre-written application

  • ITunes Match is driving me nuts! I need some help here please!

    iTunes Match hast been stuck in the Step 2 forever, 17286 out of 17287 Songs Checked, it will always get stuck there, and this is everything I've tried so far to solve the issue:
    1) Stopping the process, and turning it back on again.
    2) Updating iTunes Match in the Store Menu.
    3) Signing out of the iTunes Store and signing back in.
    4) Quiting iTunes and restaring the application.
    5) Restarting the Mac.
    6) Converting all the "Waiting" iCloud Status songs to ACC 256 VRB kbps Version, deleting the originals, keeping just the converted ones.
    But nothing seems to work, it will just stay there and do nothing.
    I've managed to Match 13193 songs and Upload another 2964 songs, but once it has stopped uploading and here I am.
    Guys, if something similar has happened to you, and you've figured it out by doing something I haven't tried yet, please let me know, it will be much appreciated.

  • Need some help here please

    My computer was sent away for repairs and among other things (it was a very sick computer) it was reformatted. When I got my computer back I downloaded iTunes and plugged my iphone in. It recognised that i had a iphone and an account but I cannot do anything with it on itunes - I cant move the apps around, I cant put music on - nothing. If anyone knows how to fix this little it would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S I am about as far from computer savvy as you can get so step by step instructions would be a bonus lol

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes, which in windows is under the edit menu.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.

  • Need Some Help Here From The Pros....

    Hi all...Im new here you see. I have some questions here..
    1) May I ask if anyone could just tell me how to actually create a partition like Windows do in Mac OS? I need the partition to do my backups and save some of my important documents.
    2) Can we actually create a password to secure certain of my files so that anyone wants to browse it will have to enter the password? Is it possible to do that?
    3) Im also trying to use Visor(i cant remember the name, it's a software to enable Mac to run windows without the boot camp) but i tried on my friend's Macbook, I cant use the MSN camera function... Anybody have any idea??? Or it's not compatible with the camera built-in.
    4) I want to use "3D Studio Max", its it compatible with Mac OS??? and will it be laggish if i uses macbook 13" white?
    Please help....

    Hi!
    1) May I ask if anyone could just tell me how to actually create a partition like Windows do in Mac OS? I need the partition to do my backups and save some of my important documents.
    With your external drive attached, open Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities. Choose your drive on the left, and use the Partition tab to set up the number and type of partitions. Partitioning will delete all data on the drive.
    2) Can we actually create a password to secure certain of my files so that anyone wants to browse it will have to enter the password? Is it possible to do that?
    Don't forget that the Mac, just like Windows, is multi-user. You can set up a user for yourself and one for guests or specific people. Nobody can see anybody else's files. You can lock your computer when you go away from the desk if you want absolute privacy.
    Or, you can create an encrypted disk image (also using Disk Utility) to store private files if you really want to stick with one user account.
    3) Im also trying to use Visor(i cant remember the name, it's a software to enable Mac to run windows without the boot camp) but i tried on my friend's Macbook, I cant use the MSN camera function... Anybody have any idea??? Or it's not compatible with the camera built-in.
    Do you mean VMWare Fusion? I believe iSight support is included in the VMWare Tools - when you're running Fusion, there's a menu option to install/update those tools.
    4) I want to use "3D Studio Max", its it compatible with Mac OS??? and will it be laggish if i uses macbook 13" white?
    I believe it's Mac only, so you should check the Windows specs (RAM requirements, graphic card VRAM, etc) to see if you can run it within a virtual Windows on your Macbook.

  • Would appreciate some help here still fairly new to MAC

    Ok I've made the mistake of installing a program called Anacron which is supposed to help with the maintenance of OS X. Well I found out after the fact that there is no need to install ANY programs for maintenance as it is all built into the OS now. So I went to uninstall it and wow has this been a headache . First off there is NO uninstaller and when following the read me file that I found to uninstall it, part of it works and part of it doesn't. This is the information to just disable it (not delete it):
    How do I disable or remove anacron?
    To disable anacron, run the following commands in a terminal:
    cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
    sudo launchctl unload -w ./anacron.plist
    cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-daily.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-weekly.plist
    sudo launchctl load -w ./com.apple.periodic-monthly.plist
    The above worked, but the info which is supposed to help you delete it all together does NOT work and I would appreciate some help/comments on why it doesn't. Here is the info for deleting it:
    To completely remove anacron from your system, delete (trash):
    /usr/local/sbin/anacron
    /usr/local/share/man/man5/anacrontab.5
    /usr/local/share/man/man8/anacron.8
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/anacron.plist
    /etc/anacrontab
    /var/spool/anacron
    /Library/Receipts/Anacron.pkg
    When I use Terminal to get in there and delete that stuff, when I try and delete Anacron, I'm given a list of file attributes (I guess) .. it looks something like this:
    override rwxr-xr-x root/wheel for anacron?
    What in the world does this mean and how in the world can I get this crap deleted from my system? Seems like everything I do is not enough to get this stuff deleted.
    Thank you for your time

    "Are you borrowing some frined's account, you have lots of messages here for a guy fairly new to mac"
    No, the mac is mine, and this is my account. I still consider myself pretty new to MAC OS X. The time of me registering here is right at the same time I received my iMac which is just over a year. To me that is still pretty new I may have a buttload of posts, but that doesn't mean I know a lot about MAC OS X and the MAC computers.
    I certainly appreciate your help with this problem. It worked flawlessly. This is very much like DOS in windows......yuk, just reflecting on the past. Thank you again, sooo much. I now feel much better, what a relief.
    Edit: Oh by the way, just answering "Yes" gave me, if I remember correctly, something about forbidden. But doing it the way you described above using the sudo lines worked great and it asked me for my user password, I put it in, then everything was ok, it deleted everything I wanted it to.

  • System won't boot. Could really use some help here.

    I have the K8T-Neo FISR2 mobo. When I set up the system, the SATA drive was set up as drive F: (onto which I installed Windows XP Home). I added a 2nd SATA drive later, and it became C:. Both drives are plugged into the Promise SATA ports. The system has been running fine for about a year now.
    I was having a problem with a program not running properly. I stopped the process and tried to restart it, but it didn't work. It was a program that drives my Logitech gaming keyboard (with LCD screen). After I rebooted, the system would load windows, then after Windows was loaded, it would load up a program when I went into it and crash. It looked like it would crash on PXHELP.DLL (something like that). I booted up into safe mode, renamed the file so it wouldn't load, and now it won't boot at all. It starts to show the Windows logo and then instantly reboots. I can't even get into Safe Mode as it does the same thing.
    I tried booting from an XP CD to do a repair, but when it boots, it doesn't see the hard drives. I downloaded the Promise drivers, put them onto a floppy, and load them as Windows is booting from the CD. It seems to load the drivers, but when I choose to do a repair (or even a new install), Windows comes back and tells me that I have no hard drives attached to the computer. I just can't seem to get Windows to see those hard drives!
    I could really use some advice here......

    Try swapping the Drive Cables. You may have one that is not engaging as well as it should.
    When I let the PC boot up like normal (without booting from the CD), it sees the drives and Windows tries to load, so I don't think it's the cables. I'll make sure they're reset, but I really don't think that's it.
