Sorry, but my problem does not deal with Safary, DNS and aby IP-related things.
I have good Internet connection any time.
But some time ago (i do not know the reason, just it begun) -
when i working (any time, any soft) - i have suddenly inerrupted within this Message above.


I have checked Connection to Server (in Finder Menu) - it is empty.


Any ideas?

Apr 18, 2012 9:50 AM in response to Linc Davis

No, this is alone mashine at home...
But your last post give me the another idea.
Some time before the problem we are discussing now,

I had the problem posted from the hardware RAID card - Battary failed and some

else, i have decided at the moment - to stop temporary RAID for my two HDs.
Now i think that the problem that i have now with the Message above - it begun after

my "operations" with the RAID card soft...


May be this is the reason?

If yes - what will be the right way to repair the situation, what do you think about?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.


This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.


The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:


  • Be sure your Mac is shut down.
  • Press the power button.
  • Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
  • Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).


Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.


The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.


Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?


After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Apr 18, 2012 10:24 AM in response to Linc Davis

Strange...
I am doing now as you told - i post this message in safe mode now.
I did not remove any cards from inside the mashine, and i have no connected this time period any

ext disks (usb etc). I just only reloaded and logged in at the safe mode.


What i see.


15 minuts ordinary working (mail, social networks...) - i have no my problrm with interruption the work by

the Message above...


Ok.


Now reload in the usial mode and try to see - will the problem be the same...

Apr 18, 2012 10:44 AM in response to BatinAM

Now i am in usial mode...
When i was logging in - i have the Mesage above at the moment.
But now - it is not so freqwantly
(oh! sorry for my English, it is very poor, sorry).


Strange. I begin thinking that tha problem that i mentioned here - fluid and now i

do not know what are the reasons indeed...


Uh. "What can I do?" 🙂>
May be really remove the RAID card?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.


This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.


Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.


These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.


Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.


Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.


Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.


Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.


When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.


Step 1


Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:


kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'


Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)


Step 2


Repeat with this line:


sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'


This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.


Step 3


launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'


Step 4


ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null


Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.


Step 5


osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null


Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.


You can then quit Terminal.

I see thats all i think....

What could you tell for this info?

Apr 18, 2012 9:06 PM in response to BatinAM

Please read this whole message carefully, especially the warnings, before doing anything.


WARNING: The changes to your configuration suggested here should be regarded as provisional; they may not solve your problem, or they may remove functionality that you consider to be useful. If a third-party system modification that you want to keep is causing the problem, you’ll have to seek help from its developer.


WARNING: Back up all data now if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state, even if it becomes unbootable. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP — DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING. If you’re dissatisfied with the results of the procedure suggested below, restore from your backup. I will not be responsible for the consequences, and I will not help, if you ignore this warning.


You should either remove or update the following system modification(s), if an update is available from the developer:


Parallels (obsolete version)


and definitely remove at least the following:


† MacKeeper (see how to uninstall MacKeeper)

† Elmedia Player

† DivX

TVMOBiLi


Whatever you remove must be removed completely, and (unless otherwise specified in this message) the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool provided, if any, or to follow the developer's instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to re-download or even reinstall the software in order to get rid of it. I can't be more specific, because I don't install such things myself. Please do your own research.


Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First check the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com, for instructions. If you don’t find any, email the developer. Failing that, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.


If you can’t remove the software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of the Mac OS. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.


WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse.


I recommend that you never reinstall the modifications marked with a dagger (†) above, if any. If your problem is resolved after uninstalling all the above modifications and rebooting, but you still want to use some of those not marked with a dagger, you can experiment with putting them back, one at a time, testing carefully after each step. Keep in mind that system modifications may be incompatible with each other or with future Mac OS updates, so it may not be clear which one is at fault.


If you still have problems after making the suggested changes and rebooting, post again. Remember: if you don’t like the results of this procedure, you can undo it by restoring from the last backup you made before you started.

THANK YOU!!!


I have analized my, soft and the steps before the problem,

and wiyj your ideas and suggestions - i have seen the more strong the reasons for my problem -

TVMOBiLi and RAID-card problems.
I made that you have recommended for these two points, now the problem has gone.


May be it is not exatly the reason, but it is really helped.


Thank you very much for discussion.
You are thinking man. Thanks and regards from Yekaterinburg, Russia.
