User account can't access Internet

I'm stumped with this one. I manage a small network of Macs that is connected to the corporate system to access the Internet. All have managed accounts. One is an eMac that stopped accessing the Internet about a week ago. It still accesses our server, Lotus Notes (email) as well as the iTunes Store. My connection to it via Remote Access is fine. This tells me that it's ethernet connection to the world is OK, but they continually get the "can't find the server" error via Safari or Camino. I've tried changing the DNS servers to make sure they match mine, which are a combination of OpenDNS, Google & the corporation's servers. There have been no changes to this Mac as the user account is not allowed to install, etc.. I tried deleting the various Internet prefs found in the user's Library:Preferences folder.
Also, if I log in via my admin account I can access the Internet with no problem!
This points me to something unique to this user account, but I'm now at a loss.

Did not try the Network Utility. Did check the Network Prefpane, which was fine. We use managed accounts on all our Macs to ensure that no one installs or generally mucks up the computers. I realize that the user account is connecting as they do receive email & can connect to the iTunes Store via iTunes. What baffles me is that both Safari, Camino & Internet Explorer will not connect. I can't figure what would affect all browsers! I've even tried a full-reset of Safari, which I didn't expect to work since the other browsers failed also.

  • User Account Can't access internet once parental controls used, even after turning off parental controls

    I set up a user account for my child. I am able to access the internet through firefox. I then set up parental controls and can NOT access the internet anymore. I turn off parental controls for that user account. I still can not access the internet from that account.

    Parental controls is a part of the Windows operating system and not Firefox. You can get help here: http://support.microsoft.com/ask-community/windows/

  • ITunes accounts can be accessed under one User but not a second User.

    Hi
    I'm having problems setting up iTunes on a new PC I've recently purchased. On my old PC - (Vista), myself (David) and my wife (Chris) had different Windows Users accounts, both with separate iTunes accounts which we could access with no problems.
    On my new Pc (Windows 7) I have downloaded iTunes and can access my iTunes account with my ID and password when the PC is logged in as 'David' as the User, as can my wife BUT when the PC the PC is logged in as my wife as the  User 'Chris' neither of us can access our iTunes account with our relative ID and passwords. We get the message.. "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.".
    I have seen this sentence on Google and on various forums including this one but cannot find a solution which fits my problem which is our iTunes accounts can be accessed when the PC is logged in under one User but not a second User.
    Has anyone have ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
    Thank you

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

  • After upgrade my user account can't be unlocked.

    After upgrade my user account can't be unlocked. Need to create new account, how? System refuses to accept username and password and the file vault encrypts without being stopped.
    Because of that the system freezes, Finder doesn't start, neither Dominique other programs.
    No problems under Mavericks

    If you open a Finder window, do you see your AirPort Extreme in the "sidebar"?  If not, open the Finder's preferences, select the "Sidebar" panel, and check "Connected servers".

  • I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network...  now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

    Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

    Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
    Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

  • ASA 5505 Anyconnect VPN Users can't access Internet

    Vpn user cannot access the internet but able to ping the lan network (192.168.1.0).. it seem like im missing a lan or nat rule.. Possibly allowing the vpn subnet 192.168.2.0 /24 to pass through to the internet.  Im looking to accomplish this without split tunneling.. Thanks

    on 8.2.5 version or lower:  Let say your inside hosts are accessing Internet by using dynamic nat index "1" and now you can use the same nat index "1" allow your vpn-pool range to be part of the same dynamic-nat index "1" to access the Internet.  Note I am natting source interface is be outside for vpn-client users because they (vpn-users) are physically coming off the outside interface.
    nat (outside) 1 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
    on 8.3 version or greater:  
    object network vpn-user-subnet
     subnet 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
     nat (outside,outside) dynamic interface
    Hope this helps.

    I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups  before I passed away
    I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
    First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
    This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
    In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
    Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
              Apply to Enclosed Items
    from the popup menu.
    Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

  • How can I set up a new user account that has access to iPhoto data on Admin account?

    I have set up a new user account for my son.  I have set up his parental controls but I would like him to have access to the data in iPhoto and iTunes from the Admin account.  I do allow him access to the applications with the parental controls, but they are empty.  Thanks for your help!

    Is your regular user an Admin?
    Yes. So is the new account I tried to set up.
    Are these apps installed in the main /Applications folder?
    Yes.
    Are they App Store apps or installs from disc/download?
    Both, but App Store purchases are a clear minority, and aren't much of a problem, due to the ease of re-downloading and activating. The downloaded programs are the ones that present the problems. I have not been good about archiving serial numbers and the like, mostly because I've never had a problem like this before.
    What specific apps are you having trouble with? For instance, I know that MS Office and Adobe CS5 for perfectly well for all users on my MBP.
    This is a very long list. Let me give you some of it, and if you really need all of them, I'll add to the list later.

    Not much, since I have no idea where the problem is. I looked for some central repository of software serial numbers or activations, but didn't find one.
