First make sure your clock, date, and timezone are set correctly.
Also check the log for any issues.
Many sites has gone down, and are not online anymore that are linked to all over the place.
Then try some of the sites that are hosted by big providers with the most amount of uptime.
Some examples are:
Facebook
DuckDuckGo
If these sites work, then I'd ...

Tor, sometimes called little-t-tor, is the core of the Tor Project's software. It acts as a SOCKS proxy and anonymizes your connection. You can set up Tor in your torrc. This file is either in the directory /etc/tor when Tor is installed as a system-wide daemon or it is in your local home directory when you use the Tor Browser.
Tor Browser is a browser (...

Look for Data/Tor/torrc file inside your Tor Browser Bundle directory.
Add the following line to your torrc file:
ExitNodes {us}
That's all.

A solution that doesn't break all your shortcuts:
Right-click the Tor Browser folder (which you probably installed to Program Files)
Properties --> Security --> (Your username) --> Edit --> (Your username) --> Allow full control

This is a known bug, due to the lack of developers working on the Expert bundle.
Meanwhile, if you are looking for a workaround, you can use Tor binaries and files found in the TorBrowserBundle. You will find Tor/ and Data/ directories under c:\path-to-your-torbrowser-dir\TorBrowser\Browser. The rest should be easy. And you will get a console output with ...

Delete the folder you unpacked it to, as simple as that.
Or to make sure all traces are gone use something like fileshredder to make sure its fully untraceable (it's used for removing folders and files and overwrites with random data).

It is repeatedly warning you about the time being wrong. A synchronized clock is extremely important to make a connection to anything even if you've been able to download all of the consensus information.
7/8/2015 6:49:43 AM.695 [WARN] Our clock is 1 hours, 10 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-07-08 08:00:00 ...

If the above doesn't work, here are the longshots:
Try using a different computer. It could be a configuration error. While most issues stem from the clock/date/timezone as mentioned above, it could be something unforeseen. Never hurts to check. Try a library.
If that fixes it, double-check your requirements and try posting your log. There might be ...

but almost every single onion site
If you can connect to one .onion address, then there is no reason on your end why you could not connect to all of them.
The Hidden Service itself could be down or overwhelmed. (Or moved on to a new .onion address)

The first warning in the logs is this:
11/6/2015 7:05:53 AM.400 [WARN] Our clock is 1 days, 21 hours, 54 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2015-11-08 10:00:00 UTC). Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!
So this is currently your main problem:
Tor needs an ...

If you follow these steps below and done everything correctly,
then this will work like a charm!
This might also work on other versions of Ubuntu & TBB.
Download the latest (Tor Browser Bundle) from https://www.torproject.org/ and save it into the Home (Downloads) directory.
Create a new folder somewhere in the Home directory. Example: Documents and ...

This was caused by the fact that the Tor Browser was running from Program Files. It would have been useful in the help to say that the Tor Browser bundle should be copied to a location with write access. Non admin accounts can't write to Program Files, which is why it failed. I just copied to /User/Public, and all is fine.

How to configure Tor and Obfsproxy:
- https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-debian-instructions
According with this bug report:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6996
... the obfsproxy permission error is triggered by the tor init script ( at least on debian/ubuntu ) because of tor apparmor wrong script (/etc/apparmor.d/...

No, Tor is not inherently a peer-to-peer network. Tor is network of virtual tunnels an is therefore more like a virtual private network (VPN), but differs from the usual VPN in that the the tunnels proceed from your machine to another (the Entry Guard) and then to a second machine and from there to a third machine (the exit node) and finally, to the point to ...

Apache doesn't run through Tor. It is a service that listens on the ip address(es) and port(s) you specify in its config file. If you want to configure Apache to host only hidden services, then you limit your listening IP address to 127.0.0.1:
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
After that, in the VirtualHost block, you put the onion address in the ServerName. For example:...

You'll find the search bar right beside the address bar. I provided you with a screenshot. You can also press Ctrl+k to reach it.
By default Tor Browser uses Disconnect.me as a search provider. If you click on the down arrow you can also choose another one.

Ok, I figured this out. For some reason the custom onion address I made with Shallot was no longer working. I made a new hidden service and got rid of the existing one, restarted Tor, and voila! I'm not sure why this happened, but this solved both hidden services that had stopped working.

When you want to start via command line you need to do it as the correct user. As the message says it expects debian-tor. So call Tor in the following way:
sudo -u debian-tor tor

I found out that tor was blocked by SElinux.
I disabled SElinux and everything was working.

It's a big probability that it was a clock skew: on reboot many OS'es and distro's are updating the local time using NTP protocol, so - once you've got rebooted you had an accurate time and was able to join the network successfully.

This worked for me: https://imgur.com/a/qIiHL
I even disabled Kaspersky and it wouldn't work so can't explain it, but finally after 3 days it's working!!

Strictly speaking, the only folder you need to open up access to is
%installfolder%\Browser\TorBrowser\Data
That's where the caches and profile information is kept. No need to open up security on directories you don't need to.

From what you wrote in your question it seems that connections to the Tor network are blocked. So you need not only bridges, but also so-called pluggable transports. On the page you'll find a download area. Using this packages you should be able to connect to Tor.
Furthermore lately a technique called ScrambleSuit was developed. This even works in this case ...

I have set up gits in the past, and have used Tor to protect them. It works just as setting up any other service. Simply set up your server (ensure that there is not something that could expose your true IP address in it), and then forward the port to Tor.
The only problem I have had in the past with this is the fact that it isn't easy to connect to Tor ...

Your question is two fold. So :
1) "get into my traffic and find out my location" For this, you need tor. Install Orbot from f-droid.org client.
2) "see what I was saying" For this, you need something like OTR or any other end-to-end encrypted protocol like axolotl.
2.a) Install a chat client with OTR support. Install Chatsecure from f-droid.org client. ...

The Tor Browser Bundle is based on Firefox. The option you clicked is a Firefox feature that removes all of your add-ons and customizations, and resets everything to the default settings.
Since you can't download the TorButton and the TorLauncher add-ons, you'll have to download a fresh copy of TBB. Your homepage and shortcuts should be stored in a profile ...

In China, Meek-azure and Meek-amazon can not be used, the following is the log, how can we use Meek?
What do when meek is blocked https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2015-January/036410.html
But suppose a censor makes that call, and blocks
Google/Amazon/whatever. What then?
The first thing you should try is a different backend. If you use
meek-google, try meek-amazon or meek-azure. Maybe your censor has
blocked one but not all of them. This is ...

If you installed tor browser :
Click Tor button (a button nearby address bar with an onion icon)
Select tor network settings
when window opened check the "My internet service provider blocks connections to tor network" checkbox
select transport type (for China use meek-azure or meek-amazon)
List item
click at ok and enjoy tor network
