You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Could not sign in there was a problem connecting to the server

Welcome to the Apple Community Ellie.
That doesn't sound right. It sounds as though you are trying to create a new ID, which of course you shouldn't be doing if you are trying to restore from a previous back up.

When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
Hide
Set up automatic iCloud uploading
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

Could not sign in. There was a problem connecting to the server.

The top button on my iphone broke. So the apple shop have given me a new iphone and when i have gone to restore from icloud i accept the terms and conditions and it says 'it may take a few minutes to set up your apple ID' then 'could not sign in. there was a problem connecting to the server'. Can anyone help? what does this mean?

Connection Failed - The Server May Not Exist

On two 10.4.7 machines, when I try to connect to a 10.3.9 machine, I get a message that the server may not exist. It was working fine last week, then all were shut down over the weekend.
When I choose Network on the Desktop, the server shows up on the list as long as it's running, so the list of available servers recognizes it. Although I'm sure nothing was changed, I've checked and re-checked sharing and network settings on all three computers. IP addresses are correct and so are the names of the computers. I've run utilities on the 10.3.9 machine and one of the 10.4.7 machines. I've restarted every computer. The result remains the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

Only thing I can think of is that a setting did get changed or borked on the 10.3.9 machine.
Appletalk is available in both OSes, but Tiger can no longer do AFP over Appletalk... think it just uses it for "Discovery", so I'm thinking the 10.3.9 machine is trying to communicate via Appletalk instead of TCP/IP.
Have you tried from the Finder>CMDk>afp:// the actual IP of the other machine?

[MX 2004} Can't upload! The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem

I'm running MX 2004 on Windows XP. All's been well for the
last few months, doing site maintenance at this part-time job. I
get tangled up a bit in checking files in and out, coming from
GoLive, and since there's no one else with FTP access, yesterday I
told it to check the entire site in. I didn't have any changes I
didn't want to commit, and I figured that would keep things a
little neater.
As of today, I can post revisions to existing pages, or
resize image files, but when I create a new page, or try to place a
new image file on an existing page, I can't upload it.
So, to be clear: I have two pages already up on the site,
index.html and apple.html, with a link between them. If I create
new page banana.html and make a link to it from index, index.html
will upload that revised link, but banana.html is refused with the
message
FTP error: The file may not exist, or there could be a
permission problem
I know the file doesn't exist (remotely); I just made it.
I've gone to Prefs and disable Check In / Check Out, which didn't
do me any good. What next?

Can you open the FTP log, select one of these new files and
upload it- then
cut and paste relevant part of the ftp log?
Also- does this site have a "host directory", a subfolder
that your public
files need to go into? If yes- is this folder listed in the
host directory
line of the remote server info?
And odd past thing i've seen-
Had hosting that used public_html as the public folder name.
They also had a symbolic link named www that pointed to
public_html
Could upload/download existing files with www in "host
directory" line of
dw; but could not upload new files or work with files in
subfolders.
changing to public_html instead of the www symlink fixed this
for me.

There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule". The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again.

The following error pop's up as an [OK] dialogue box after logging in the iMac,
There was a problem connecting to the server "Time Capsule".
The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."
As it happens, a connection to the Time Capsule is established usually, anyway. On occasion it doesn't.
I have a Volume, Data, on the capsule, which similarly, usually mounts, but occassionally doesn't, with access permissions denied.
Any suggestions on how begin to work out how to achieve networking seamlesness?

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!

Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:
There was a Problem connecting to the...: Apple Support Communities

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me there was a problem connecting to a time capsule that no longer exists on my network.

The error showing states "There was a problem connecting to the server 'name of my old time capsule' ". However, that time capsule has since been replaced by a new time capsule. Why does my computer continue to try to connect to the old time capsule. It has no trouble connecting to the new time capsule. In fact, while conducting a Time Machine backup to the new Time Capsule, the error message popped up concerning the old time capsule. Very frustrating because this message stays on top of other windows and when it pops up, I must stop what I am doing to to make it go away. Right now, I just push the box off to the side so it doesn't cover any of my windows. That doesn't solve the real problem, though.

System Preferences -------> Time Machine
Select the correct disk you want to back up to (new device), click on the old disk in Time Machine preferences, ----------> Remove Disk

There was a problem connecting to the server "my server.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally.

Hi,
I have a strange problem connecting one of the office laptops (Macbook Pro 10.7) to the disk in the Apple Time Capsule. It's just one laptop that has this problem and the other 3 no problems at all and they all run OS X 10.7 Lion, I can access the Time Capsule disk over WAN on all machines but locally on the problem machine i get this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "myserver.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally." Now from this message it sounds like the problem laptop thinks the network drive (Time Capsule) is the same as it's self in the way of name or address however they clearly have different IP addresses locally.
Any ideas on this would be apreciated as I can only think a clean install but don't want to do this if not necessary.
Thanks
Jarrah

I think I gave you some bad info in the above, where i enterered the text "myserver.local" & "example.local" this was the host name of the server (Time Capsule) so not local on the computer.
No i didn't try your method, I'll give it a go - I thought the folder option was for local files and not on a server ?

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2L , recurring error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist...etc."

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion, on MacBookPro, recurring (every minute or so) error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network conneection, and then try again." (The server specified is no longer connected or used). The error message must be clicked twice to continue to work on the computer. Time Machine is switched off. No external disks are connected. Keychain entries for "servername" have been removed since the problem arose. Is there any way to prevent this error message?

I am having the same problem; have tried deleting some of the plist files as others suggested but to no avail. Tried turning off time machine - that didn't fix it either. Very dispappointing.

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.

Two days ago I started receiving this message, "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." I have no idea what to do or what I did to get this mess

ssage. I use Time Capsule to store my iTunes library and to back up with Time Machine. Since I started receiving this message, Time Machine is no longer backing up and I can't access my iTunes library. Any ideas what happened? I also use Time Capsule for all of my wireless devices. Apple TV is working fine, my iPads are accessing the Internet fine. I just can't seem to access the information contained on the drive.

Here is another part of the error message I continue to receive
"There was a problem connecting to tge server "David-Kimmels-Time-Capsule.local".
If anyone could help I would surely appreciate. Going crazy not able to access iTunes.
