Why do I get connection failed when logging in on app store on wireless, but Wired LAN works fine?

I've been having the same issue as many other people. On OSX Lion with latest updates as of 3/20/2012. Tried deleting .plist files, checking keychain access and even reset keychain. I still get the error of Connection Failed when trying to download updates or a new app from the app store.
I also can't connect to the iTunes "Account" area. It produces an error that the request failed (-1200)
I finally decided to try a wired connection instead of my wireless. Now it works great! So I removed my wireless network and re-added it. Back to square one. Work around for now is fine, but I should be able to use this over wireless, too!
I just now tested connecting to a different wireless network (EVO Hotspot) and it worked fine. So it's something specific to my office wireless network. Nothing changed on our firewall (I'm the administrator). It just stopped working.

  • Why do I get "Connection failed" when trying to connect to Lion?

    One of our two Macs is running Snow Leopard, the other, Lion. I can connect from Lion to Snow Leopard OK, but not the other direction: when I try, I get "Connection Failed." I can connect as guest however. Ive run Disk Warrior on both machines. No change in behavior. Any one else experiencing this?

    Solution is here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3197723
    Go to System Preferences > Sharing > Options...
    Unshare your home folder and then you can connect. Apparently Lion shares your home folder by default.
    Worked for me.

  • Why do I get "Publish Failed" when I select F4V with fixed frame rate?

    I have created several projects from scratch in Captivate 5. My publishing functionality seems to be increasingly impaired. I have rebooted and uninstalled + reinstalled Captivate 5.
    In the beginning I got this message when I was publishing a specific project with the media option F4V with fixed frame rate, but now I am getting it on all my projects regardless of my publishing selections.
    I am running on Windows 7, and I think it is Windows that is suggesting that I 'debug' the program. Clicking 'Debug' takes me to a dialog box where I can choose between Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008, none of which seem to be a good solution.
    Here is a print of my publishing options:

    Chinmay Baid,
    Thank you for your reply - over the past few days I have been able to
    narrow the problem down a little more.
    When working with Captivate 5, I am able to work with and open any
    published file until I turn that file into a Zip file.  Upon unZipping,
    the file becomes unusable by my computer and by my LMS (Cornerstone).
    I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I am able to run any SWF file
    on my machine if the file has never been zipped.  I am using Captivate 5
    in administrator mode.  Somehow, the zip process is making the files
    unusable, and my LMS requires that files be zipped before they can be
    uploaded.
    Thank you for any advice or help you may be able to offer.

    Hi,
    Can you please give the following details :
    Can you please check and tell the Flash player version
    (plugin,activex,standalone) installed on your machine?
    Also, are you able to play the standalone SWF on your machine?
    Did you launch Adobe Captivate 5 in administrator mode?
    Above information might be helpful for further investigation.

  • Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

  • TS1424 Why am I getting error 11222 when trying to access the store?

    Why am I getting error 11222 when trying to access the store?

    The 11222s can sometimes be associated with LSP issues.
    I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    After changing my user id my iPad still brings up my old id when logging into the App Store. How do I fix this?

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (on the iPad) also?
    Note that any items purchased with your old ID are permanently tied to it and cannot be transferred to the new one.

  • My wifi shows a strong signal but then i cannot connect to the internet (safari or apps). what is wrong? internet is working fine on my laptop.

    My wifi shows a strong signal but then i cannot connect to the internet (safari or apps). what is wrong? internet is working fine on my laptop.

    Is this a new issue with your iPad meaning that you have been able to connect to the Internet in the past?
    If it worked before try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    Sometimes restarting the iPad is all it takes as well. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also reset Network Settings - go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.Or go to Settings>WiFi>tap the blue arrow next to your network>Forget this Network. In either of those cases, you will have to rejoin your WiFi network and enter your password again.

  • I keep getting "Unknown error has occurred" every time I try to login, but Itunes is working fine.

    I keep getting "Unknown error has occurred" every time I try to login, but Itunes is working fine.  I have now called support twice with no help.

    Ok..  try restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, temporarily disable anti virus software.
    Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent access to the App Store as well as third party download managers.
    Try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will reinstall the App Store for you which may help. It's ok to do this even though you already have v10.6.8 installled.

  • I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

    I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Help-unknown error has occurred when logging into mac app store

    I am unable to log into the mac app store. It says "an unknown error has occurred" i can log onto itunes without any issues. ive read some discussions and tried to delete networkinterfaces.plist but it doesnt even seem to exist, ive looked in 3 different preferences files. I also tried to create a new user id from the mac store and it doesnt even recognize when i click to create user. what can i do next???  Thanks

    Sorry,
    you don't need any app Store. That - sorry - bullshi. is mother of all problems.
    There is the usuall Software Update process - all can find in finder menue below the apple logo. So why I have to update my iLife and iWork via App Store? Can't this be done by Software update as before? No, we need something special and we also deny any other possible way, like download from apple support page and install manually. No, everybody needs App Store - and then we get an issue after software update and don't get a fix? Sorry, that what I dislike most  - a bad customer support.
    So, no one needs App Store for a Fix - all apple has to do is simply provide a simple MacUpdate via Software Update process and all is fine again.
    And Software Update is just in such cases the best choice and most possible way to fix such problems - and we need also a valid and good second way - if all strings get cut...
    We need ways without any strong internet - because I know places, were you cannot download a MacOS

  • "An unknown error has occurred" when logging in to App Store

    Hi.
    I have a valid Apple ID and I have been running Mountain Lion from the day it was released. Starting today I can no longer log in to the App Store. I get "An unknown error has occurred".
    I have done the usual bits: checking ermissions, trashing preferences and the cache file, but to no avail.
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    all best,
