kCGErrorFailure

[Brian Schott]

My mac mini 2011 is booting fine and finding the wifi network, but all connections fail. I have printed out the tail results and show them below. Any ideas?

What version of OS X are you running?

Have you tried clicking the Apple icon and choosing Software Update?

Does a reboot temporarily resolve the issue?

When you first noticed the problem, had anything been done to the Mac within a week before its onset? Things such as new software, new access point, a firmware change on the access point, new hardware, etc. would all be relevant.

You may want to try the following suggestion found on another forum (ref: http://apple.stackexchange.com/quest...a-slow-login):

What you need to do is run repair permissions on your user folder which you cannot do with Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" option. Using Disk Utility only repairs system files.

To repair user file permissions you would need to boot into OS X's built-in Repair Utilities.

1) Power off your computer
2) Power on your computer and press and hold Command + R until you see the Apple Logo. This may take little longer than usual to load.
3) Once the Repair Utilities loads, click on Utilities on the menu bar and select Terminal
4) Within Terminal, type resetpassword and hit Return. This will open up a password reset utility
5) In this window, select your hard drive (Macintosh HD) and then select your user account from the drop down menu located just underneath your hard drive's icon
6) With your username selected, click on the Reset button at the bottom right of the window. This process may take a couple of minutes to complete. This will repair all file and folder permissions for all files and folders located within your User Folder.
7) Once completed, quit the Reset Password application then the Terminal application, and finally, the Utilities application which will reboot your computer.

One possibility is that you're having a problem with DNS, domain name system. As a test, once your Mini is connected to the WiFi network but you are seeing 'all connections fail', try connecting to two different URLs in your web browser of choice.

The first is
http://google.com
if your connections are failing, then this will also fail. Now, to see if DNS is at fault, try connecting to
http://74.125.225.194

That's the IP (actually, one IP) address for google.com, in other words it is the identical web page to the one that failed in your first test. If that does not fail but you get Google's page, then your DNS is at fault in some way.
