Won't connect to yahoo or google

Here's a weird one. For the last week or so, I have not been able to connect to any Yahoo or Google site. Mail hasn't received from my primary email server since Feb 8, and most (but not all) of my RSS feeds are down. Safari (4.0.4) cannot open the page of any Yahoo or Google site because "Safari can't connect to the server..." It's not a Safari problem however, as the same or equivalent thing happens no matter what browser I use. (Firefox, OmniWeb, Stainless, Sunrise, Wyzo) All other websites are connected with no problem. It's just Yahoo and Google I can't connect to...which means I have to get my email from my mobile phone. (micro screen)
As I'm an OTR truck driver and am presently away from my home DSL, my internet access is via SPRINT using a Sierra Wireless USB T598 Rev 1.0 broadband aircard.
I've run every maintenance/repair program I have, (Onyx, Preferential Treatment ect.) and all software is up to date.

I'm still having trouble getting Tor to connect to the Tor network. Can't prove it yet but my gut feeling is that this is a seperate and unrelated problem.
Perhaps you got a little carried away with the manual deletion. I'm surprised it didn't render your machine unbootable.
The only legitimate users of Tor are the US government agencies that created it.
What I don't understand is why this problem with PeerGuardian suddenly showed up. I've had it installed for the better part of a year with no problem whatsoever. What changed?
PeerGuardian regularly updates its databases using big blacklist databases. Those databases are always getting updated and are notoriously bad. The only thing worse than no security is a false sense of security.

Mac min won' t connect to yahoo

I recently purchased a mac mini (have been pc user for long time). I ordered
snow loepard and upgraded to it. I find that i can't connect to yahoo while
it can connect to google and wikipedia fine. I don't think anyhting is wrong
with my router and internet setup since the same thing works with my pc just fine. It is not wireless issue either since i connect it to lan directly. since
I just purchased from apple , I would expect it to work out of box but it is
not. I am appalled.

There are a number of possible explanations, but it would have helped to have given us more detailed information, such as did yahoo work before you upgraded to Snow Leopard and which browser you are using (Safari, Firefox, etc?) -- rather telling us that you are "appalled"
The folks who answer questions on this forum are just regular Mac users, not Apple employees. So "attitude" won't buy you much free help here.
Assuming you are using Safari as your web browser, I'd suggest using the "Safari" menu to "Reset cache ..."
Additionally, since this sounds like a name resolution or routing issue, I'd type in the full correct name of yahoo in the address bar of your browser -- namely www.yahoo.com -- and not yahoo or yahoo.com -- or use this link:
http://www.yahoo.com
If that doesn't work, try using the IP address of www.yahoo.com, namely:
http://209.131.36.158/
If none of this works, please report back with fuller information about what browsers you are using and whether yahoo worked before your upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Safari on iPhone won't open a Yahoo or Google Search result....

If I use Google iphone app or Yahoo iPhone app and touch on a result, normally it would launch Safari and bring the page up......now Safari opens and just freezes at "Connecting"....close the page and things are fine but the page found via Google or Yahoo never does load unless the address is loaded directly into Safari or I use the search field in the Safari top nav bar???

it turns out that safari's handling of png is broken, the problem reproduced on both iphone and mac safaris.
in changing the format to gif, it all works okay.
does apple allow mortals to file bugs against safari?

Messages won't connect to AIM, Google Talk, or Jabber anymore

I know there's a few discussion threads out there already, but I've tried everything and it still doesn't work.
The last few days, I haven't been able to connect to the following services on Messages (OS X 10.8.2) anymore:
AIM
Google Talk
Jabber (Facebook Chat)
None of my settings have change, and I've tried disabling and re-enabling the accounts. I've messed with every setting and still can't get it to connect.
My internet connection is fine, and I can still connect to Yahoo. I don't know why these other services won't work.
Any help would be great!

Hi,
In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall is the Firewall On ?
IF it is ON then in Firewall Options is the "Allow Signed Software" box ticked ?
IF that is is Messages AND IMAgent allowed ?
IMAgent is the item that deals with login to AIM and Jabber servers (but NOT Yahoo ones).
It is likely that for some reason IMAgent is not being allowed.
Can you also check the Keychain (Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities)
For your AIM and Jabber IDs check the info panel > Access Tab is also allowing Messages and IMAgent if it is restricting the names to specific apps.

Hello there ypda75,
I have an article here that has a list of settings to get from your Email provider so you can make sure that the settings are correct. It has troubleshooting steps to try as well. Also I would recommend restarting the router, and/or testing a differnet network.
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
All the very best,
Sterling

Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.

I think you have to turn off Private Browsing.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

I can no longer search in the address bar, yahoo, or google. Help

Not able to search in the address bar, yahoo search, google, and no google mail, or anything that I don't already have a link to in my most visited list or email i have received from them. I can't copy and paste because i'm writing you on my desktop. My notebook is Windows 7 home addition.

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine that is set in the search bar as well for searching via the location bar and on the about:home page.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extension (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extension+and+themes
You can check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Safari won't connect to the internet (but computer is)

Today,
None of our Macintosh (by Apple) devices will connect to the internet. Actually, only Safari says it won't connect to the internet.
If I run Terminal on our Macbook, I can ping yahoo.com, google.com, etc... Also, Skype works just fine. However, when we run Safari, no web page will load and we get the error screen saying that the computer is not connected to the internet. Running diagnostics (forget where it's located on the computer) says we are indeed connected (which I could tell from Skype and pinging).
Coincidentally, neither our iPhone or iPod can get to any web pages on Safari when connected to our wireless router. Using 3g network they access web pages fine. Our PC has no internet troubles today whatsoever.
Any idea why Safari doesn't work? Unfortunatley we don't have Firefox or Chrome on our Macbook to test it out, not sure how to download those without being able to access their respective web pages.
Thanks!

Try turning off the router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on.
Restart your Mac as well as the iPhone and iPod.
If that doesn't help, on the Mac, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
Move all the files from the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
Now on your iPhone and iPod tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
See if Safari will load pages.
If not, on your Mac, go to System Prerferences - Security.
If the Firewall is turned on, turn that off. Restart your Mac, Try Safari again.
Since you can access the net with 3G, it's got to be your Wi-Fi.
System Preferences / Network / Assist Me is where you find Diagnostics.
Make sure all the light are green. If not, click Continue.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google

Okay since last apple software update my safari will not open youtube,yahoo or google, an error message comes up saying safari cannot connect to the server. Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi Joshua ..
Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that wasn't the issue, try using OpenDNS.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, prevents the, "can't connect to server" issue, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser re directs, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
More about OpenDNS here.

How do I change my default Search Engine from Yahoo to Google permanently?

Every time I restart Firefox my search engine reverts back to yahoo, how do I fix this permanently. I only want to use google to search for things it is much more efficient. Is there some firefox connection to yahoo that is causing this?

None of above worked for me.
This did:
"In your address bar, type in: “about:config”
Inside of the filter search box, type in:
browser.search.defaultenginename
Double click that entry (or right click and choose “Modify”) and then type in the name of the search engine you wish to have as the default search engine. It must be one that you already have installed and also make sure you type in the name correctly.
Now if you type in “Yahoo”, restart Firefox and when your browser comes back up you will see the red Yahoo “Y” and Yahoo as your default search engine."
(as found on http://www.searchenginejournal.com/change-your-default-search-engine-in-firefox-google-chrome-ie/24378/)
Since I wanted to be rid of Yahoo and get Google back - in the last part instead of typing "Yahoo" I typed "Google".
That's it.

Safari Won't Connect To Specific Network. Firefox Will!

I have a specific issue with Safari (and Mail.app) on a specific network I try to connect to.
The network is one offered on a train service, and pre-Lion I've been able to connect to it just fine.
All of a sudden my MBP and MBA are able to connect to the network - but if I try and start Safari it just bounces away in the dock.
On the rare occasion that Safari starts it won't connect to any webpages. Mail.app also refuses to work in the same way.
If I use Firefox - I can use the internet as normal (although I still have issues with Mail.app).
The bigger issue occurs when I am off the train and trying to use my laptop on other networks - Safari and Mail continue to refuse to work, even though the laptop tells me I'm connected. I have to restart the entire machine.
I've deleted networks from the SysPrefs, reordered them, tried a Google DNS etc etc. I've Googled the issue like crazy, and even contacted the train operator! - and so far come up with nothing.
Any help would be much apprecieted.

Do you have anti virus software installed or any apps like Little Snitch?
Try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, try Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
It does not use SD cards.
Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.
