Q: Most of apps (except Chrome) can't connect to the Internet

Safari, App Store, iTunes, and other applications can't connect to the Internet.

I've seen my proxy settings and they are all unchecked.

I've done a reset on my router and still no progress.

 

Safari keeps showing "can't establish a secure connection to the server...". Internet connection seems to be working fine because Chrome loads any website with no errors. Also, I've used my phone, tablet, PC to test the internet connection and they all got connected.

iTunes and App Store won't even connect. Now I can't buy and update apps, music, etc.

 

How can I be able to solve this problem?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Good day, since you mention Globe Telecom ISP Provider, I believe the problem now is with the ISP not the router or your Operating system. We have the same ISP, mine is Globe Broadband, when I'm connected to another Network outside my home I have no problems with safari, appstore etc. However we can't do anything about it because we both know that Globe is terrible with its customer service, so we either wait for its repair or switch to FIBR?

    Ha! What a coincidence, I'm also using Globe Broadband. I guess we just have to wait and yes. Globe is terrible with customer service.

    Hi Guys,

     

    Good day!

     

    I have exactly the same problem. Tried all the workarounds posted here but no avail.

    Also tried to install the combo updates and uninstall recent purchases to app store but also no avail.

    Unfortunately, I'm a GLOBE TELECOM subscriber and having exactly the same problem with you guys.

    Now i'm using internet at my office (not GLOBE)and now mac app store, itunes app store, safari and other apple apps working perfectly fine now. I can assume it is GLOBE's who has the problem. I don't want to call Globe CS because they are so terrible and the time you spent talking with them is not worthit. I hope this will be addressed by Globe TELECOM.

    Yes after a long night of figuring this thing out at least we can now conclude its the ISP's problem and nothing is wrong with our system. Have a great day everyone!

    I can use the internet using Safari already. AppStore and other apps can connect to the internet as well. Maybe the problem yesterday was the Globe Broadband internet connection.
    I'm still very thankful of your help. Thank you. Everything's working fine now.

    found that i couldnt ping or curl it was icmp time out

     


    SO for me it was dnsresponder problem...........

     

    followed this — need to restart mDNSResponder after every boot up “https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3514492”  to restart my DNS & IT WORKED (i have osx 10.9.5)


    It gave me error when i said to unload dns, but when i gave this second command


    sudo launchctl load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist


    seems it wasnt loading on reboot

    it loaded the dns and now i can use safari , app store etc

     


    i dont know yet if i have to reload mDNSResponder on reboot or not.. i've to check that later

    dont know why chrome was able to connect to internet without this dns and other apps can't?????

    I have solve this problem by changing the setting of safari.

    First open safari,

    enter preferences,

    choose the advanced panel,

    click "changes setting" of Proxies in the bottom,

    then uncheck the "Auto Proxy Discovery" in the pop-up window.

    click OK.

    For the people who can't fix with proxies because they seem fine, or ran into problems with El Capitan, who have internet with Chrome but no apple apps I found this solution:

    System Preferences, Network, Assist Me, Continue etc... and out of nowhere its fixed.
