-66559 Network Error on Quicktime

I too, am getting the lovely question mark over my Quicktime logo on anything needing to open on Quicktime, then I get "A network error hars occured. This computer's internet connection appears to be online. (-66559).
I'm running Quicktime Player 7.1.2 on OS X 10.4.7. I haven't had any problems with it until today for some reason. Any ideas? I'm able to open the movies using Internet Explorer, but not Safari.
I DID go into Quicktime System Preferences and unchecked the "Flash" option under Misc. as it suggested in another post, but it actually wasn't even checked. Is there another setting I should check? Just odd it is suddenly doing this.
Thanks,
H

It might even be something as simple as the Date & Time System Preferences trying to connect to an NTP server in order to make sure the system time is in sync with the rest of the world.
And do you have the web server enabled? Not sure if Apache does this, but I remember back in the Mac OS 9 days, the web sharing facility would cause my Mom's iMac to dial the modem and connect. It seems my nephew enabled web sharing while playing with Nan's iMac

Hi all
I keep getting this message evertime I try to open Quicktime but I dont understand it! any ideas?!

To Apple Discussions!
The following also applies to the original poster Richard Woodger:
What type of internet connection do you have? Unknown if that could be part of the problem especially if you both have dial-up service.
Also, which browser & version were you both using? If the browser was not the latest version, update it, repair permissions & see if that stops the error.
I couldn't find anything to directly connect this error to QuickTime.

Good luck!

A network error occured blah, blah, blah

Itunes prompted me to update to the latest version which, after downloading, failed with the eror message "An network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows\Installer\QuickTime.msi". I tried again with the same results. I decided to remove Itunes/Quicktime and start afresh but an error occured when trying to do this and the application remained.
I then ran "msicuu2.exe" as recommended by Apple but that didn't seem to do much either. Decided then to manually delete all Itunes/Quicktime programs/files and cleaned the registry of all evidence of these applications, also deleted temp folder.
Downloaded latest vers. of ITunes but got the same error message when I tried to install it as I had in the begining. Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong?

No, in fact nothing seemed to appear i.e. nothing was listed, which I thought rather odd at the time as I, like most people, have dozens of applications installed. I did try running it again but the result was the same.
That's a bit odd ... so the Windows Installer CleanUp window was completely blank?
There's a screenshot of how it normally appears in the following document (in step 2). (Don't apply the measures in the document at this stage ... the link here is just in order to show you what the CleanUp interface is supposed to look like.)

Hey temuera,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues downloading and installing iTunes for Windows. Along with the following article, you may want to attempt downloading with an alternate browser:

Thanks,

When I try to download the new iTunes it says "MB Network Error".

I had an iPhone prior to this, and I never used iTunes. Since I got a new iPhone, I needed to use iTunes to put my music back on it. Of course, I needed to update. Everytime I try to download the update I get "0.7/66.7 MB Network Error". What does it mean? How do I fix it?

Perfect, thanks again.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes/QuickTime install. Do they go through properly this time?

Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Software update - networking error (Mac OS 10.4.11)

Hi everyone,
I've been having problems running software update on my 867 MHz Powerbook G4. Every time I try to run software update, I get the same message: "A networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
My network is running fine, and I've run Network Diagnostics several times fully through to confirm this.
I've tried repairing the disk permissions through disk utility a few times, and nothing's changed.
I tried copying three files from my Library / Preferences folder, along with my Caches folder (after reading that this could fix the problem), but still, software update doesn't work.
I tried running the 10.4.11 combo update for PPC, rebooted in safe mode, and repaired my disk permissions again, but still, no luck.
There's another problem that might be related: Safari can't load pages. Firefox 2.0.0.18 works fine, but Safari doesn't do anything. Also, closing the Safari window (Ctrl + W) doesn't work, quitting the program is the only way to make it go away.
Thanks in advance for the help, it's much appreciated!

Hi James, and a warm welcome to the forums!
To expand a bit on Sig's great advice...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
Also, how much free space do you have on your HDD?

Data network errors when manually switching from 3g to 2g

Hi everyone,
Apologies if this has been posted before but im running out of ideas! - Got my iphone 4 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a rather irritating problem with it. For some reason, if i manually switch from 3g to 2g the data connection drops.. I get 'cannot activate cellular data network' errors and i have to toggle airplane mode on/off to reset the connection. Is this a network issue? - I live in London and am with Vodafone... Their tech support are useless as all they suggest is resetting the phone or getting it replaced. Its my third handset in 2 weeks and im getting close to calling it a day and sending the phone back to Apple. Anyone out there in a similar situation? - Advice??

Bump
So no-one has suffered this issue? - Not even fellow vodafone uk users?

Trying to download iOS 7.1 and I get a "Network Error" message. How can I fix this?

Hello. Today iOS 7.1 came out and I want to get it. I currently do not have 2.5GB of free storage on my iPhone 5s so I wanted to use iTunes to download and install iOS 7.1. The problem is that every time I try to download iOS 7.1 I get a "Network Error" message (screenshot provided). The alternative I tried to use is downloading the IPSW file directly from the internet but I also get a network error (screenshot provided). I was able to download anything and everything else I wanted to download today but only get this error when downloading an Apple IPSW file. I downloaded iOS 7.0.6 less than a week ago through iTunes and didn't have an error but with iOS 7.1 I am having many difficulties. I disconnected my internet and tried again but still no success. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem? Any input will help! Thanks so much!
The error through iTunes
The error through Google Chrome

Try directly from your device. I had the same problem but it updated when i tried from the device itself.

A network error occurred while accessing this document on the internet

Dear all,
I am now facing a very unusual problem that, when I try to open a pdf file from internet, it says: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?". Here's my situation:
Browser: IE8 (or Chrome 35.0.1916.153)
Adobe Reader: 11.0.0
OS: Win7
1.Directly open from IE. Says: "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
2.Try to download(Save AS). In IE, says: "The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"; In Chrome, nothing happened, but still can't download.
3.Try to disable the "PDF Reader Addon" in IE8. First the browser needs to download the PDF file, but failed, see point 2.
1.I can open the same PDF file from another network, that is, out of my company.
2.I can open another PDF file in the network of my company, but the pdf is created by another scanner
3.All PDFs from both scanner can be opened locally.
So, here's the possible problem, the network settings, and(or) the PDF. Does anyone ever meet this situation, please help?
Thank very much.
Li

Rave,
IE: 8 & 9
Adobe Acrobat Pro/Acrobat Reader 10.x & 11.x
Chrome: work fine
So the answer is to manually enable and disable websites based on whether the pdfs open within the browser. That doesn't seem like a great long-term solution to have have our users to manually enable / disable browser integration. We have web applications that work better with browser integration turned on. Is this something that Adobe will fix or is it an IIS/IE issue.
It appears the Adobe removed the #1 config option that you lised in the new 11.x versions of both products. The manage Add-ons does not disable the browser integration on the new Adobe versions.

Problem signing in to adobe reader. Have a valid account but keeps coming up 'network error'.

Had a problem signing in to my adobe reader account for about a week now.
Use the PDF pack to convert Excel into PDF and have been using this for 6 months without any previous issues.
Just comes up with 'network error occurred while trying to sign in' but my network is working fine and no other problems with my computer or network.
I have tried unloading and reinstalling the PDF pack but makes no difference.
Completely stuck, please help!

Hi Sara,
Thanks for the quick response.
I am using the latest version or Reader XI.
I can log in direct through cloud.acrobat.com so that is a way around the
issue but I still need the use of the PDF pack ideally.
If I try to log in to acrobat.com via the adobe Reader XI homepage then it
comes up with the following - "We cant seem to find the internet. Please
check your connection and try again"
I am using my home wifi connection with no problems on any other computers
or devices.
