No internet except 32bit Chrome & Terminal

P.S. Booting into safemode yeilds the same results.

I've noticed there's no reports of issues only effecting 64bit apps, I've searched everything I can for 2 days and tried every fix I could find. I've tried with IPv6 off and on, have not tried Link-local only, my router is IPv6 compliant.

I don't have a proxy, just an AT&T wireless modem with no other routers attached, they should be sending a new one today that I ordered before I realized the problem was only limited to my computer. My at&t dsl is sketchy and slow but when it works everything works except the macs 64bit programs. I have turned off my firewall, and tried with it turned on, it's currently off. I installed avast to try to fix the problem but it didn't help. I turned off the web shield on avast just incase but 64bit internet access didn't work with it on or off...

Litterally the only thing that has changed since everything worked, was the install of Adobe Creative Cloud... I spent 4 hours on the phone with adobe and at&t trying to get it to work, they had me making new accounts on my computer and trying different DNS settings and resetting and reinstalling all sorts of things and nothing fixed it or helped..... I've been working with computers since 91 and with macs for the last 4 years and I've never seen an error quite like this.

IPv6 set to local only didn't help..

Tried making a new account while on the phone with adobe, it didn't help.

Create a new user and try there? If still an issue, I'd probably opt for a clean install, v strange issue.

clean install sound like a terrible option... It would take me days to reinstall and update all the software, macs aren't suppose to be wiped and redone, they're suppose to find the problem and fix it.

There's no parental controls set on this account, I do have a temp account with severly limited access via parental controls incase someone else wants to use my computer, those should have no effect on this account. There are no parental controls set for any other account, I double checked. And yes, I'm very sure I got the same results in safe mode.... even tried redoing all the trouble shooting of removing all the internet setting plist files and erasing all my prefered networks and rebooting directly back into safe mode.

Boot in recovery mode, safari works there. it does not work in safe mode still, does not work in regular boot mode still as well.

I removed avast and cleaned up files it left, that didn't change anything, but since the problem started before I installed it I'm not suprised, downloaded EtreCheck, here's the results from that;

It is not 3rd party, it's the drive that came with the computer when it was purchased new. All the hardware is stock except for 1 drive and that drive I just put in today to move files around. I have moved 40gb off of it so it's over 100gb free.. that doesn't effect anything. I do not have a copy of 10.9.1 as I don't know how to get one. This computer came with 10.6.4 installed and I upgraded straight to mavricks from the internet a couple weeks ago but hadn't upgraded the operating system anymore than the updates prior to that.

No clone either as I don't have a free drive right now. I was slowly working on that but have not managed as of yet. still, how would installing a 200mb creative cloud push me over some sort of cache space limit when this drive has had way less free space than that at numerous occasions with no issues and why in the world would that effect my internet connection for only 64bit software. I deal with large media files on a regular basis so my drives fill up fast.

Is there anyway I can get a printup of my network settings that may be more useful in helping fix this as opposed to addressing my dire need for a proper backup?

Setting up a new location says it fails, except in my wifi settings its all there set up as a new location, when i go to diagnose, I get green lights on Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings, Network Settings and ISP, I get red lights on Internet and Server, both saying failed. yet, here I am still posting here on Chrome. As far as I can tell, that gives me the same broken internet under a new location as I had under the Automatic location. 😟 Something is broken somewhere and I can't find it......

As a side note, I've already tried running a phone line across my house and plugging the dsl modem in in my room and connecting with ethernet, that did not fix the problem either so the problem is not limited to WiFi, ethernet has the same issue. I still get chrome but no apps or other browsers work, quite honestly I don't even care about the internet not working since chrome works, I just wanted to get the new version of lightroom from CC so that I could work on all my lightroom 4 files that I started editing on a friends computer in Washington without having to spend days redoing what I had already done and hadn't exported yet here in Florida. but my version of adobe design premium only had lightroom 3 so there's no way I could import the edits without getting an upgrade so I ordered the creative cloud, installed the cloud software and everything died....

now instead of waisting days re-editing all the files I've spent 3 days trying to fix my computer...... :/ I really don't want to spend 19 hours downloading the repair install of mavricks especially if there's a chance that won't help either but it's looking like that might be my next option if I don't find an actual real fix for the real problem....
