Q: I can"t bootcamp
-
Jun 7, 2015 4:00 PMby Loner T,You are not able to get to the Apple CDN which provides the Windows software. It is not an issue with your ISOs. If your Mac came with a built-in Optical drive, you should use Disk Utility (Yosemite): Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD to create the DVD from the ISO.
Can you use the DVD and install Windows without checking the Download box?

Jun 7, 2015 4:27 PMby Loner T,Can you run the following commands from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal?
grep apple.com /etc/hosts
grep apple.com /private/etc/hosts
If either of these commands return any output, these should be fixed. This indicates that your DNS was hijacked by an unauthorized application installer.

All these entries are bogus. You may have installed some software which hijacked your DNS.
On my Mac, using your second list, this is what I get.
for x in `cat x.x | awk '{print $2}'`
> do
> echo $x
> nslookup $x
> done

Please edit these files and remove all entries which have apple.com in them and retry your software download.
Here is what I have in the two files...
cat /etc/hosts
##

#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
