Adding a Device: -201401. Make sure device is connected?

I have been able to set-up my Measurement & Automation explorer to detect my device (NI cDAQ-9188), but I'm having trouble adding the device. The error statement states:
Add device has failed. The error report from the device driver is as follows:
Add device
-201401
Retrieving properties from the network device failed. Make sure the device is connected.
How do I resolve this issue so that I can test my I/O modules?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

DAQmx version: 9.7.5
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Initially:
In the Network Adapters tab it reads:
- No network adapters found
In the firmware tab it reads:
- firmware version: 1.1.0f0
Based on the status of the network setting tab, I assumed my problem was related to the network connection. I reset my network adapters and this seemed to resolve my issue. Thanks for your help.

There is precious little information concerning this warning dialog. If I am disconnected from any network; wifi, Bluetooth, Thunderbolt Ethernet, doesn't matter, I get this error in a pop-up dialog. "Your connection failed because the communication device is unavailable. Make sure it's connected to your computer and try reconnecting" Creating a new Location under System Preferences / Network does not solve the problem. 1. What is asking to be connected? 2. How do I stop this? Running Yosemite 10.10.2 on a MBP 13"

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Ical error message "your calendar couldn't be refreshed" make sure you're connected to the internet and try again

I've noticed on my Macbook Pro (10.9.3) iCal, iCloud section on left showing error icon after syncing (circling motion to indicate it) ends. When I click the icon, message "your calendar couldn't be refreshed. Make sure you're connected to the internet and then try again later" comes up even though it is connected. iCal no longer syncs with iCloud Calendar ether.
Could someone know what my problem is here?
I have no issue with Contacts or Mail. They just sync as usual.
I have checked my iCloud account and it is correctly set up.
Please help...

Hello there, RS.7.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting issues with iCloud Calendar on your Mac:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
Particularly:
Troubleshooting on OS X
Server error 507?
If you're using OS X Mountain Lion or OS X Lion and get the message “The server responded with ‘507’ to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation,” you've exceeded one or more iCloud Calendar limits. Try removing some calendar or reminder data from your iCloud account.
Confirm that you've turned on iCloud Calendar:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu (), then click iCloud.
If you're using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later, make sure that the Calendars checkbox is selected.
If you're using OS X Mountain Lion or Lion, make sure that the Calendars & Reminders checkbox is selected.
Try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you are using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to verify the version of OS X you are using.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Calendar or iCal. Learn how to troubleshoot your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Calendar requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Make sure that you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list are updated in iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, such as iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, and Google. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar, choose Calendar > Preferences, then click General. In iCal, choose iCal > Preferences, then click General. Locate the Default Calendar setting and choose one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save the change.
If recent changes don't appear, try forcing Calendar to refresh by selecting Refresh Calendars from the View menu. In iCal, select Refresh or Refresh All from the Calendar menu.
If you've recently made changes to your contacts' birthdays and are not seeing those changes reflected in your Birthdays Calendar, try to refresh your calendars. If you made the changes in the Contacts app on an iOS device or at iCloud.com, it may take up to an hour for those changes to appear on your other devices.
Make sure that your account was successfully created in Calendar (or iCal) on your Mac. After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm that your account is configured correctly in Calendar (or iCal):
Open Calendar (or iCal).
Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name in the Apple ID field.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars (or Calendars & Reminders in Mountain Lion and Lion).
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars (or Calendars & Reminders in Mountain Lion and Lion).
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

ITunes RADIO is not working. "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so - iTu

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.

I cannot sync my iphone to my itunes account on the computer. I get the following message: " iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212). Make sure our network connection is active and try again." Has anyone else had this problem?

Did you find a resolution as I'm having same problem?

TS1368 Error message in iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.".

Since I upgraded my anti-virus software to Trend Micro 2013, I now get this error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
My internet connection is working fine. I suspect it is related to my anti-virus upgrade.
Any ideas?

Definitely try disabling anti virus software then try iTunes.

Error message we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active

Can Anyone help with this message which occurs when I am trying to update my iMatch, it says "gathering information about your library" & then after a few mins when the progress band gets almost to the end, I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active & try again"
Support has told me that its a problem with my connection, but I disagree, how come I can download countless songs from iTunes without ever getting this message, I think they are bullsh***g me to get rid of me.
I have even followed their advice & totally disabled all my antivirus, adwatch & firewall software & it still does it.
Can anyone help with this

Hi mate, well I really dont know why but last night it started to work out of the blue, you might want to check yours again as they may have fixed a bug??
I did absoultely nothing different yesterday to make it start working, I had previously disabled all my antivirus, firewall, anti tracker etc etc & it didnt sort it.
The only thing that happened yesterday was my laptop went dead flat & I had to a reboot (dont choose System Resume, which I normally do) I chose the other option in error & had to wait nearly an hour whilst my PC "repaired files etc" & it also downloaded a load of updates (had that message "dont power off, as updates are in progress")
I really dont know if that sorted the issue or Apple fixed the bug yesterday but its working.
Good luck

My mini Ipad says I haven't backed it up to iCloud for 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locks, and connected to wifi. The ok button doesn't work, I can't open settings to make sure wifi is connected. Nothing works!!!
