On 6 th April my BT homehub2 updated it's firmware and that's when the problems started. Broadband went down completely and powerlineadapters adapters for bt vision fried. After 2 telephone support calls we eventually got the home hub reset and connected to broadband. Bt supplied two new powerlineadapters and bt vision is now working. Laptop, iPhones and iPad (and bt vision) all connect fine and work completely well.
My iMac running OS X 10.7.3, appears to work in that it connects no problem to home hub and when you run diagnostics it says your Internet connection appears to be working normally... However I cannot get a web page to load - I have tried chrome, Firefox and safari. The bizarre thing is using Outlook I can send and receive email, also my apple devices are still syncing via the iCloud - that would suggest that the iMac is indeed connecting wirelessly to the router and sending and receiving data - just no web pages at all - also it can't connect to things like iTunes store or apples app store... Everything was working fine until the firmware update!
Also may/may not be related but when I log in now I always have to manually connect to router, it always connects fine but it used to do it automatically, also recently upgraded to Lion and I have my doubts there too?

I'm running 10.5.8 on my MBA. Lately I noticed when I start terminal, the program seems to launch right away. However the terminal window stays blank for a long time before the command prompt shows up. during this time usage of Safari becomes very slow too so feels like it's hugging on to some resource.

I bought a new HD, so i reformatted my disk and at the same time the 10.6.6 update with the Mac App Store came by. So i reinstalled my OS, then updated. I have the icon on de dock, but when i click it, it just stays saying: Loading, connecting to the iTunes Store... But it hangs there. It doesn't do anything. I even opened iTunes, logged into the store, but still nothing in the Mac App Store.

One issue though is that occasionally, a terminal utility window will go to sleep (or become Zombified) and won't wake up again.
This happens when I am running a long numerical calculation from one of the tabs in the terminal window.
Normally, the numerical calculation does not print much, but will occasionally print out information about the progress of the program and sometimes error messages. In past MAC-OSX, I had just started the numerical calculation in one tab and went on working (vim editing e.g.) in another tab in the same window, occasionally going back to check for error messages and progress.
In Mavericks OSX though at some point, the long run-time of the numerical calculation causes the whole terminal window to sleep including the tab in which I am doing the editing.
It is an interesting sleep. The numeric calculation keeps running, so I just set the window aside to let the program finish.
Other terminal utility windows are fine but all tabs on the same window are in the sleep mode.
The sleeping windows can actually be updated to their most recent, directly visible content by hitting the yellow dot at the top left,
sending the window down to the Dock, and then reopening from the Dock.
Even after reopening the terminal window from dock, the whole window (every tab) remains asleep. Scrolling does not work, continued updating of the screen output by the numerical calculation does not work, but you can see the most recent content by using the Dock update trick.
I can work around this and change the numerical calculation to send the output and error messages to a file instead of the screen and then run the programs in background. (Don't know if background programs will still zombify the terminal window.)
Also, I can do the editing from a separate terminal window, but at first the unexpected irreversible sleep caught me off-guard.
I realise that such automatic sleeping might be part of the reason for the large increase in speed, which is actually more important to me than maintaining the viability of each terminal window.
I am wondering though if there is some way to reanimate the sleeping terminal windows to inspect error messages more easily (i.e. scroll up to old ones).
I was installing a few things on my new MacBook Pro (XCode, XQuartz, X11, and Homebrew) when I noticed some funky error message that I get whenever I open Terminal.
It says: -bash: export: `/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin': not a valid identifier.
I am still getting used to my Mac after a decade of Windows, and I have no clue what this error means or how to fix it.

It can be done through terminal, its just a bit all or nothing. I would like to show the .DS files on a USB stick for example, remove them and switch back to hide without round tripping to terminal every time.
Can be done easily on a PC but not the Mac i know. Did I dream it or could one show/hide hidden files on previous OS? I know extra menu items appear with the alt but not 'show hidden'
Having the .DS files is a real pain when loading movie files onto a media player or trying to play through a SMART TV. As most (all) smart tvs only accept FAT/ ExFAT formatting the .DS files show in the menu. On media players it's worse as it prevents one playing multiple movies in order and to repeat till you hit stop. As soon as the player hits a .DS it will stop and throw up an error.

Mavericks upgrade shuts down iTunes..OSX 10.9.3 (13D65) loaded on my mid 2007 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 3 GB memory - try to load iTunes and get message to un-click 32 bit box on Get info screen - done with and without the box checked, and iTunes will not load.

1) Safari doesn't load anything and same website can be open on Chrome and other browsers. In safari, gets error like "Safari can't find sever". This message even comes when try to open iCloud or apple website
2) Mac app store doesn't load properly. Not able to install any app or games, always get error " we could not compete your purchase" " Todoist : To Do list l Task List failed to download .....Use the purchase page to try again"
3) I even tried to download and install Yosemite but failed with error " OS X Yosemite Failed to download ...Use the purchase page to try again"
Anybody see this before? I opened up Terminal.app and the window is completely blank. There is nothing in it whatsoever. Looks as if bash never started. The title bar simply says "Terminal — login — 80x24". I can type whatever I want in the Terminal window like it's a text document and nothing happens. If I restart the computer, this seems to fix the problem, but it seems to only be a temporary fix as the issue happens again soon after.

I am in the right window and everything, terminal just doesn't react to my typing. However, when I click enter, it says 'Sorry,try again'. So it does react to the enter key.

Now, following the Mavericks upgrade a little over 2months ago, it is taking several minutes for browsers to load. It does not matter which one I use, Safari, Firefox, or Chrome. Safari is set as my default. There are no additional plug=ins and I use only one browser at a time, never have 2 open at same time. Do I have too many documents, bookmarks or Reading List?
Also several times a day a black screen happens telling me that iTunes has nothing in it. I know this but am bewildered at why it keeps giving me this info. How do I turn it off without removing it, iTunes I mean.
Before I upgraded to Mavericks, I always used to see a "Load Images" button above email messages. I don't see that anymore and some of my emails contain a question mark in place of the image. I've looked everywhere to try to find a solution but no luck.

I'm running Symantec Backup Agent on our mac osx server. I start the agent in the terminal (./agent.be). It returns a notification that it started the service, however, it doesn't return to the prompt. Closing the terminal gives a warning that the process will be closed if the terminal is closed. Closing it does kill the process. Ctrl+c to return to the prompt also kills the process. So it's as if once the process is started in the terminal, nothing can be altered.
I am not much of a mac guy so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Anyone have any advice on how to handle this so the process is ALWAYS running?
how to make CPU load visualization without a floating window?
I do remember that on Mountain Lion somehow I did that CPU load was shown @ a bottom left corner of desktop with horizontal transparent thin bars.
But I cannot find how I managed to make it in Mavericks...

My school district pushed out a Mavericks 10.9.4 update. Install went fine except Smart Notebook will not run and crashes on startup. I uninstalled and reinstalled Smart Notebook software yet problem continues. Tech department at my school district says Mavericks and Smart Notebook software should run fine together. I used my Smartboard everyday because my students participate and are engaged. Now I am at a standstill.
