When I enter my password to start my atv it tells me, that "there was a problem connecting to the network." My Ipad works fine in my house, but not my new atv. I have reset my password multiple times with no help. I have also rebooted my wireless server. Do I take it back?

Where is everyone???? Does anyone have an answer???

It says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Whenever i start FCP X i get a message "There was a problem connecting to the Server "Time Capsule".

I turned on/off my Time Capsule, renamed it, reset it, enabled/disabled file sharing on the Capsule but i can't get rid of that message,
and it pops up every 2 min.
Unable to work in FCP X with that announig dialogue box popping up all the time.
This is on a MBP Retina, FCP X is installed allong with FCP Studio, all fresh from the App store / installation disk.
I have no clue where that message comes from
please help me
thanks
Manuel

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.

My apple tv gives a msg " there was a problem connecting to the network " check your settings and try again (5) - sometimes it comes with the number 3905 - i have tried all the suggestions from reset, restart, to switching and unplugging everything -

I was trying to download a movie and then it said there was a problem connecting to the network , check your settings and try again (5) . I tried all the various suggestions already in the discussions including restore, restart, unplugging everything etc - still doesnt work. Any other new ideas? I bought my apple tv just a few days ago and am really annoyed its already run into problems

Reboot router, make sure it's up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).

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.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

I upgraded to iOS 7 to my ipad using iTunes. When signing with the Apple ID I get an error reading "There was a problem connecting to the server" anyone who knows what to do next

Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.

HT2284 Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine). Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message. Only fix is resetting T

Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine). Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message. Only fix is resetting TC.
The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine. The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to. Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time?

Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.
I downloaded 5.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Download unpkg
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
Google if you want more explicit instructions.
Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense.

The message ~There was a problem connecting to the server "your-447023ae6b".appears when I try to play music transferred from my PC to my iMac. Files were transferred from my PC by a Genius. How do I sort it? Next appointment with genius is 5 days away!

Hi
Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

My Mac suddenly started getting a pop up message saying "There was a problem conecting to the server. URLs with the type "file" are not supported." My internet is working fine,no problem connecting. I just keep getting this message which I click off .

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 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

"There was a problem connecting to the server "Bill's Time Capsule".

Many times a day I receive a small message saying "There was a problem connecting to the server "Bill's Time Capsule". I've also had problems with my computer not recognizing that two of my wireless HP printers are turned on. These problems have occurred since I downloaded OS X Yosemite (10.10.2).
Are these problems connected? How do I solve them?

Yosemite is poor.. it has poor networking and poor TM.. and is buggy all round. Although I am surprised if the issues started at 10.10.2.. I would have thought just continued unabated.
Anyhow reset the AE to factory and redo the setup.
Please use all names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Passwords the same 8-20 mixed case and numbers.. whereas names can be even shorter.
Ensure IPv6 in the computer is set to link local only for whatever network you use.. be it wireless or ethernet.. eg wireless.
And if the TC is bridged.. then try and keep its IP from drifting.. this can be a bit difficult. Need to set dhcp reservations on the main router. If the TC is main router this is not going to be a problem.

Since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

HT4628 my time capsule has stopped working - have a green light but get an error message saying "there was a problem connecting to the server..."

I noticed this week an exclamation mark on the time machine icon on the menu bar.
My Macbook, iPad and iPhone all connect to the network but i get "there was a problem connecting to the server..."
When I open the preferences the time capsule is off but turnign it back on sends me in a loop of selecting the Time Capsule device (which has a nice green light etc) and then getting the error messgae about being unable to connect. I've pulled the plug a couple of times (this has worked in the past) but no change.
Any advice would be welcome before I try a factory reset or have to return to Apple for repair (the one thing they are offering as the thing is only 5 months old)

I also noticed that when I go to finder I see two MacBook Air's that are in my name but have the number (2) and (3) next to the name.
That is a well known bug in Yosemite.
Try open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Edit back to the correct name for your Mac
This may...or may not help. But, it won't hurt.
The Mac's name may stay stable....or you may see (2), (3), etc again soon.
Be sure to restart both your Mac and the Time Capsule after you do this.
