Error : There was a problem communicating with the Group Pickup backend database.

Hi ,
I found this error in Event viewer for Every 2 min on lync server 2013 :
There was a problem communicating with the Group Pickup backend database.
There were problems accessing SQL server:
Connection: Data Source=(local)\rtc;Initial Catalog=cpsdyn;Integrated Security=True
Message: The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'DbpGetVersionSchema', database 'cpsdyn', schema 'dbo'.
Error code: -2146232060
Error number: 229
Cause: This may be caused by connectivity issues with the backend database.
Resolution:
Check if SQL backend is running and accepts connections from Group Pickup.
what can i do ?

Hi,
Did you solve the issue with the help of the suggest Anthony provided above?
If the issue persists, please check if you update the latest vesion of Lync Server 2013. If not, please update it, make sure after install the update for all FE Servers,
then make sure to update BE Server as well. Then rerun Step 2 Setup or remove Lync Server Components.
Here is a similar case may help you:

Hello
thanks Holger for u r replay .
due to the Microsoft article about the cu :
I run only :
Install-CsDatabase -ConfiguredDatabases -SqlServerFqdn FEBE.FQDN -Verbose
Note In a coexistence environment that contains both Lync Server 2010 and Lync Server 2013 and in which the Central Management Service is located on a Lync Server 2010 pool, do not run the
Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase command. If you later move the Central Management Service to a Lync Server 2013 pool, you have to run the
Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase command to apply the changes.
here is what I get on my power shell after i run the command : "WARNING: Warning: Failed to execute batch --"

I just recieved my Iphone yesterday, and today I was reading somthing off of Safari and recieved "error:there was a problem communicating with the secure web proxy server (HTTPS)" .Now I get this whenever I try opening any of my apps. Even my facebook app

I have never done this before so I do not know if I am even doing this correctly. Anyways, I cleared my history and cookies! I even deleted many apps thinking it might of been from them. I have even turned my phone off for a good thirty minutes. THe last thing I did was set my network settings to default.
I dont know what to do. Since I changed my network settings to default I turned my phone off again. I might just restore all setting to default and go from there..and if this doesnt work, I will just return the iphone for a different one I guess.
this is from my IPHONE4s

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

There was a problem communicating with the screenshot service, please try again later.

I've used browser lab for months without issues until late last month it keeps showing me this error:
There was a problem communicating with the screenshot service, please try again later.
I have to retry 3-5 times before I can get it to load the page.
I'm accessing browser lab through firefox 13.0.1 Mac OS X 10.7.4

Hi,
We've had some problems with some of the backend systems we use and have had some accounts get into bad states. Can you please try it again until you see the problem, then respond with:
The AdobeID you use to login to BrowserLab with (don't post your password).
The date, time, and timezone of when you saw this error message.
Thanks, that will let us dig into the logs, see what they tell us and look into your issue further.

Safari cannot open the page ~ The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)

Help! I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:
Cannot open Page
Safari cannot open the page
The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."
I have had all the Apple iPhone phone. Have never encountered anything like this.
All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi.
Can anyone help, please.

I am also fixed. I also loaded Onavo, but that was the other day ... this is what I did with the help of online chat with AT&T ...
I went to:
Settings
Wifi
I selected the network I was working on by hitting the blue arrow located on right side
At the detail page of that network I scolled down to the bottom to find HTTP Proxy boxes
I was on Off and changed it to Auto and it worked!
I was soo jazzed!!
Instructions said if it was already on AUTO, to change it to Manual and make your Port = 80 but I didn't have to do that!
YIPPIE!! I'm a new man!!
Go to settings -----> WI-FI -----> select the network you're using ------> hit the blue arrow located on the right-side of the network name (ie: show details of that network), this takes you to another page.
--------> at the bottom of the page you'll see "HTTP Proxy" boxes (located below the "renew lease" button) ---------------> change the proxy to AUTO. Note: if you're already at AUTO, change it to "Manual" and make your Port = 80.

"There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again."

When I try to order prints on my Macbook I get the error .... "There was a problem communicating with the Apple Online Store. Please try again." I've gotten this error for a few days. When I try the same thing with my wife's Macbook Pro there are no issues. How do I fix the problem on m Macbook?

I found the problem thanks to some help given.
Go to iPhoto menu -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> > Print Products Store was set to "none". I changed that to my own country and then it worked, I could place the order.
Thanks a lot!

Error message "there was a problem communicating with the server"

for about a week or so now, when I connect to my bank website everything is verrrry slow and when I finally get through the log in steps the error message shows on the site. Sometimes I can complete the task at hand, although it takes forever. Other times the screen just stays with the spinning wheel and I end up closing the browser. I've cleared the history and cache. I've made sure to have only one firewall/ virus protection activeated. I've reset Firefox. The pages populate faster now, but still slower than before. Not sure what's going on.

You might try to disable some or all of your extensions/add-ons or plugins such as content blockers etc., restart FF, then selectively re-activate one by one.
This has helped me a few times finding out what makes FF slow.

There is a problem communicating with the printer.

I have a Lexmark Interpret S405. I am using a MBP laptop with WiFi, running 10.5.8. I have a cabled (non-wifi) Linsys router. I am using an Airport Express.
I was finally able to get the WiFi light on the Lexmark to be static green after reinstalling the Lexmark WiFi setup and reconfiguring my Airport settings so that both the computer and printer see each other.
In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.
Message was edited by: Macman17

I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.

Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.
Installed Lync Server Standart 2013, client PC MS Office 2013.
As the mail system - Lotus Notes Domino Server and Lotus Notes client, respectively.
Exchange is not installed at all.
question:
1 What is the message: "There was a problem connecting with Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions." and how it is fraught?
2 How can I fix this message? Cleaning the C: \ Users \% UserName% \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Office \ 15.0 \ Lync \ does not help
3 What are the disadvantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 without Exchange? In principle, I put for Lync Exchange?
4 What are the advantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 with Exchange?
5 Is it possible to work simultaneously Lync Server Standart 2013 + Exchange + Lotus Notes
Thank you.

1) That sounds like a strange translation. But basically, it wants to connect to Exchange and it's complaining.
2) You can attempt to go to Tools->Options->Personal and set Personal Information Manager to None, and in Lync Management Shell run set-csclientpolicy

There may be more, I've never tried to completely disable Exchange features from Lync.
3) No conferencing plugin for meeting invites, no automatic presence management based upon your calendar, no searching your Outlook contacts for new contacts, no voicemail, no conversation history,no unified contact store, and more:

4) This is just #3 in reverse :)
5) Depends on your goals, but the experience wouldn't be great. You'd want to keep your contacts and calendar in Exchange and your email in Notes. It would be confusing to your users.

After loading lion, I get an error message "There was a problem connecting with the server. URL's with the type "file" are not supported."

After loading Lion, I have been getting an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported." There does not seem to be any actual problem with internet connectivity, but it is persistent and annoying. Any idea of its cause and treatment?

X61 - Vista Business - Client Security Solution Error - There was a problem connecting to the TPM

During startup my x61 has been displaying the following message, 'Client Security Solution' - "There was a problem connecting to the TPM (security device) ont his computer. It is possile that anti-virus or firewall software is blocking the connection. A missing or disabled device driver could also cause this problem. Please refer to the online documentation for more information".
I have spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort to find identify the cause and a solution for this problem. It occurs whether or not virus software is enabled or disabled and numerous calls to Lenovo, Symantec, Kaspersky, and Microsoft have resulted in finger pointing and no answers. None of the vendors acknowledge the problem yet this same issue is a significant topic of concern as found in various blogs and 'help' sites. Lenovo thought it was hardware and changed the motherboard. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft since it was a Vista issue. Microsoft told me to call Lenovo since Vista Business was preinstalled on the machine. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft and so it goes. I removed Symantec's anti-virus and replaced it with Kaspersky.
The strangest thing is that the module works intermitently and it seems that everytime a Lenovo update is performed (via Thinkvantage) the problem reoccurs for sometime.
Does anyone out there have an understanding of the cause and a potential solution???

I have the same problem on an X 60 platform, which only surfaced in the last two weeks subsequent to running all of the Lenovo updates. Prior to this, I had reinstalled all programs, starting with the Recovery Disks for the Think Pad. Everything, including start up, was exceptionally fast. Once I ran the most recent BIOS updates, along with several others, this error message surfaced. It is intermittent, however, and I have not noted an issue.
In reviewing several other Message Boards, I have seen this issue raised several times. Here is a link to a thread where the individual did achieve a solution through Lenovo, but their response is nonspecific as to what they did: (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&message.id=7143&query.id=1...

Print error - there was a problem connecting to the server - spinning beach ball

This has happened pre-yosemite and since. It used to only happen at home but now also happens at work. Every time I try to print, I get a spinning beach ball and a long delay until I get an error message saying there was a problem connecting to the server. At home, after clicking OK, I get a second spinning beach ball session with same error. Once I click OK second time, I get print window and can print. At work, it's only one session of spinning beach ball. The office problem occurred after upgrading to yosemite. I've deleted and added the printers without resolution. I've repaired permissions. The home problem has been going on for at least a year, probably a couple. Using a macbook pro.

There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve without wiping your account clean of everything except documents as a last resort. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
          Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
          Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
Step 8
Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
Step 9
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Step 10
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 11
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master          # Use directory service
/net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-               -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

Installed OSX 10.9.5 Error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "SERVER"" When connecting to Windows Server

Installed OSX 10.9.5 on three MacBookPRO's now all of them have lost access to our Windows 2003 Server. I get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server "SERVER". Note this was previously connecting with 10.9.4.
I understand 10.9.5 was giving us improvements in the reliability of SMB2 but this is now much worse.
Help!

I keep getting an error "There was a problem connecting to the server" ....and an ip address is listed

Every time I print to a pdf I get an error message that there was a problem connecting to a server. I am running a mac with windows parallels and the error happens in parallels. It seems that somehow the PDF software has captioned a deleted IP address and keeps pointing to this and as this IP address does not exist it produces the error. Can someone help me as I need to find where PDF stores this information and delete it..as it is driving me crazy as the error is continuous. Thank you

Look in the System Preferences -> Accounts. Click on the Login Items tab. I bet there is an entry for your drive. Use the "-" to delete it.

My apple tv never allows me to rent anything - error I get is : There's a problem communicating with the iTunes store. Try again later.

I am in Bahrain and Apple tv never works with the iTunes store. Why?

In the iTunes application on your computer (not the apple.com account page), update your payment information, including the credit card security code. Once done, the red warning stating the payment info must be verified will disappear and you'll be able to rent on the Apple TV.
