Wifi with Login pop up or page won't work most of the time

Free wifi with login areas don't work anymore on my machine after a couple of uses. I haved used them in these locations before and know the signal is strong and they are working and other people are able to connect. What happens is the login window or page won't load after a few times. I"ve tried several things after reading throgh several disscussions with this and no success.
1. I tried making a new wireless location and a new dns. Dosn't work.
2. I tried spoofing my my mac adress (dosn't work)
3.Clearing out all the cache and system files using onyx (this worked at first and after a restart I would get the login window but now no longer works)
4. Referesing the browser and or clearing cache and restarting (dosn't work)
5. I tried disabling the fire wall and making sure all the java and browser pop ups are open.
This is a huge problem as I work from home as a web developer and designer but have to wait anther two weeks for internet at home and can't use the free wifi. My cell service barly works in my appartment but barley and is costing a fortune. Any help on this issue would be greatly apreciated. Apart from buying a pc I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks again for anyone posts,

One of the free wifi services I can use will work if I turn off the ocsp and crl from the keychain preferences. Apparently there apple put this in place and it can cause problems with the pop ups from the free wifi services. It still only works with one of the free services with this disabled and apparently opens up security issues.

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

E-mail won't send most of the time

Ever since my Touch upgraded to the v. 4 firmware I've had trouble with sending e-mail. I don't have as much problem receiving mail...sometimes I can only preview my messages and but most of the time I can open received messages. For a while I couldn't send mail (I use Yahoo and the Touch already had the server settings for it), then after a couple of days it suddeenly started sending again. Now it's not sending! So aggravating!!
The error message says "The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars." This seems silly because it works - just off and on! Does anyone else have this issue...any solutions? Thanks

I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

Why, since installing 4.0.1, does the back arrow take me back two pages instead of one most of the time?

Since installing 4.0.1., I find that the back arrow takes me back two pages most of the time, forcing me to click again on the forward arrow to advance one page. This happens on all websites. I never had this problem before with any browser. It started with 4.0.1 and I have not added any plugins in a long time. My system is Windows XP.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Macbook Pro won't start most of the time; freezes constantly.

I always come to these forums for answers and I've always found them, so I thank you in advance for everything you do. Unfortunately, I can't find an answer for this one...
My Macbook Pro 13" (early 2008?, maybe mid-2008?) had a weird thing happen this morning where a whole bunch of applications froze up. I could still move the mouse, though. It got so bad that I just shut my computer down by holding the power button. When I tried to restart, it came up with a gray screen and nothing happened. Then I tried it again, and it couldn't find the startup directory (folder with question mark). I then restarted the computer and held down option, specifying the start-up directory as the hard drive. It accepted the command, but didn't start up, so I was forced to power it down again. I then tried to repeat this, but when I pressed the option key just after start-up, it just shut down immediately. This happened several times.
Some hours later I got the computer to start up again after using the restore disk (option, then select), and reinstalling Mavericks. I was able to run disk utility, which showed no problems with the hard drive. I looked at console and I'm getting constant error messages for a variety of reasons:

And that one happened on startup.
I'm running the computer right now, and nothing has gone wrong, yet. Of course, the error messages are still there, so I don't think anything has changed, I'm just trying to run as few applications as possible and I'm only on this website.

I get the sense that there's a lot of crap on this computer that I ought to get rid of, but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem.
Also, I just installed 10.9.3 yesterday.
Thanks again for any help you can provide!

Well, the computer stopped starting up at all. It could never find the operating system. I tried safe mode and virtually every other non-standard start-up option. I then did target disk mode with another MBP and got the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I then tried using disk utility and it couldn't retrieve retrieve the data using restore (writing to an external drive). I suspect that this means the hard drive would need to be replaced. In your expert opinions, is this necessarily true? Could this still be just a software problem, or perhaps some other piece of hardware?
Part of the reason I ask is that this laptop is now nearly five years old. It's needed a new battery for two years. If it's a virtual certainty that the hard drive is toast, I don't want to pay $150 for someone to take it out and try to recover any remaining data from it, only to reveal that the data is indeed irretrievable (since the computer itself is probably only worth $300-400 at this point). The nearest Genius Bar is also more than 2 hours away. Am I going about this the right way by using disk utility, given that the hard drive won't mount to the desktop of the other computer? If the hard drive can't be reat in target disk mode, does that confirm that it is the hard drive?
Thanks
Oh also, it does still make the startup noise, even though I can't run the AHT since I can't get it to start up in safemode. I thought this mean that it passing various hardware tests. Does this not apply to the hard drive?

Why won't Safari auto-fill work most of the time?

Safari Auto-fill sends me a note it can't fill because the info doesn't match--but it does match. Won't even fill in address, etc. Happens about 60% of the time. Thank you!

Hi cmate;
You might have better luck with your Safari question if you posted it over in the Safari forum.

Photosmart C4795 won't print (most of the time)

I have a Photosmart C4795 installed on two computers, one with XP, the other Vista. The installation(with the Vista computer) went smoothly, along with all tests and some documents of my own, and on the XP one. After a few months it started giving me a "paper not found issue". I discovered I needed to push hard enough to get the paper in far enough, but not too far. Now (on the XP computer) it says its printing, pulls in the paper and then sits until I get an error message on my computer. I went through all the guided solutions and none worked. The XP computer is an HP Mini 1000, and updating HP doesn't change anything.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I managed to get it working by sending the document a second time, then cancelling the errored print job on my computer, and after it was cancelled on the computer cancelling on the printer. The moment the paper ejected I placed it on the paper tray at a point an inch away from where I was told to in the animations. Then it started on the second print job and worked (it stopped because I only had one page, but resumed when I placed the paper at the same spot and pushed OK.) If the whole problem was in fact where I was placing the paper I wish the animations would show proper positioning.
If anyone needs assistance or clarification on how I made it work again please reply.

Cannot send regular text to someone with Mobile data off... or send sms most of the time at all

I am having a lot of trouble sending text messages. I get them fine but cannot reply to them. It just sits there pretending to send randomly. If I have my mobile data off it won't ever send texts even using the stock Messages app with the default group text mode disabled. Anyone know why I cannot send text messages without my mobile data enabled?? I feel this might be the root of my texting issues. Note these are plain LOL and simple texts with no attachments. Even with full bars of 4g no luck half the time sending with mobile data enabled...
This started with the Kit Kat update.

Nope, no signature or attachment. Went into a Verizon Store on Saturday and they called in the issue but only were able to get it to send a text with full 4G bars after powering the phone off for two minutes then powering it back on and resending.

Z10 Remember app won't load most of the time on 10.1.0.2006

I just upgraded to 10.1 and the Remember app mostly doesn't work. I opened the app at 6:13 and it greeted me with the spinning circle "wait" graphic. It's now 6:22 and it's still doing that. One of the reasons I stuck with Blackberry is the epic fail of Evernote and the times I've written something important in Evernote only to get a "memo updated externally" message from evernote that wipes extremely important text, measurements, etc.... However, Remember is sorely lacking too, and not as good as the separated tasks and memos in the previous instances, and it needs to load pronto.
Is there any other alternative since Remember doesn't work any more?
I just did kill Remember after 8 minutes of the stuck wait indicator and now it came up after reloading it. But it seems that off a fresh reboot, Remember can't come up on it's own successfully, ever. I don't want to bang on Blackberry and ask if they test or we're all the guineapigs, but come on, as a user I shouldn't be able to list 40 bugs in 5 minutes, and more if you push it and give me more time. The old OS was never like that since I started using BB in 2006.

*Resolved.*
On the previous day I was trying to fix my soundcard somehow, inside the laptop. It looks that some cable makes no good connection after that. I think it was the display cable.
Now the laptop works. I can get more successfull turn-ons now.

Ever since I downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my iMac, the Safari won't often (most of the time) and I have to restart to open a web page. What is going on? What can I do?

Ever since I downloaded OS X Mountain Lion on my iMac, the Safari won't open. It loads half way and then stops. Same thing happens when we try to open a web page. If I restart the computer, it will then work. What is going on? What can I do? Help!

It will but it's only a temporary fix, ideally you should get a large external drive and move your photo library to it, do this (info)
Apple Menu>About This Mac>More Info>Storage, you will get a graphic that looks like the one below, post it here.

Firefox froze up. So I removed from computer and reloaded. If I close Firefox, can't restart by clicking on the icon. Have to end process in Task Manager. It then starts. Some links on some web pages won't work.

Hi,
As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
Thanks for your herlp,
Mike FD

It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Question
After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

Most of the time, when I hit a link, it opens but tabs with ads or pages that I didn't ask for are opening also and they come up on top. I have to dump them to get to the link I originally hit. How can I stop this from happening? It's so irritating and they take a while to come up before I can close them. Note: I use Firefox for Mac OS

You can stop that behavior by changing two settings within the browser. Go to Tools -> Options and click on the CONTENT button. Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is checked. Then click on the ADVANCED button on the far right and add a check to "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload".
That should stop most of them. If not all, then you could install AdBlock Plus add-on, since most of the redirects are ad generated. (Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons)

The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

Wifi with Login pop up or page won't work most of the time
