AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.
AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.
Has anybody come across this error and found a fool-proof solution? I have found some stuff on the web but nothing seems to work. In particular this one on the Apple Help doesn't:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
I have a W2K3 server where the volume is. It's a new Mac with OSX 10.8 and is connecting with AFP (I don’t want to move to SMB yet). There are older Macs with lower OS and all of them work fine. I have checked all the basic stuff and it is set-up correctly (hosts file on Mac, network, etc.).
Any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Ian

Fix for "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."
Like many of you, I experienced the following problem with Lion:
"The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
I googled and found a workaround for that. It worked for me, maybe worth a try:

KoosSame problem here, and the above fixes do not work. I'm running 10.7.5, and the defaults write commands do not appear to work: the plist reverts to its default state after each connection attempt.
I can confirm that the correct values are entered in the plist immediately after performing the defauts write commands (while logged in as root) described in those links, by opening the plist file in xcode. But regardless of rebooting or not, the file immediately reverts to its default values as soon as an afp connection is made. Extremely frustrating. The "defaults write" simply doesn't stick.
I desperately need to pull some data off of a Mac IIci that is running Shareway IP under System 7.5.5. This always worked seamlessly in 10.4 though 10.6: I really need a working solution for 10.7. Thanks for any help... -
I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says - 'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
Problem "The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported."
Hi,
I connected a portable hard drive to my Airport Extreme. I can see the hard drive in Airport Utility / Disks but I'm getting an error when I try to connect this disk from Finder / Network / Airport Extreme. I googled and didn't find a solution.
How can I connect the portable disk from Yosemite?
There was a problem connecting to the server “Airport Extreme”.

I've seen this problem throughout the website, but nothing hits all my bases.
I'm running OS 10.8.4- just upgraded last month.
I work for a company that predominantly uses PC's. I'm in the Graphics Department.
Neptune is a Windows server but houses all our art files. Since the upgrade I have not been able to access the server either by name (which used to work) or by IP address.
I tried doing the suggested "terminal" fix but that did not work.
I must say, mail works. Internet works. Wi-fi works.
Any other suggestion?Hi AppleRocks
Glad you've found a workaround however this is a common problem for people trying to connect via AFP as a registered user to a legacy server.
Whilst connecting via SMB and as a 'guest' should provide a temporary solution some people need to connect via AFP as a registered user to access all of their servers files successfully.
There are several sudo commands and discussions on this subject (Believe me I've read most of them ) but I have found this thread to be the simplest and most effective:
Connecting to legacy AFP services - Apple Support
Hope this helps future readers of this thread! -
Thanks in advance!

I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen.
My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'. Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today. I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -
I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.' I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
(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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.) -
Internet Security Warning - The Server you are connected to is using security certificate that...
Mail Client on Laptop is Windows Live Mail. Mail server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. DSL Internet. Long time Verizon customer. Client configuration settings correct according to Verizon. I now get an Interenet Security Warning message whenever I start up the Live Mail Client and send an e-mail. Only happens on sending e-mails. The warning message comes back looking for a YES or NO answer. The message is
"The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified."
"A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trused by the trust provider."
"Do you want to continue using the server?" "YES or NO"
I click YES in order to successfully send e-mail messages which I do not like to do. I only have to press YES on the first e-mail message that I send. The rest outgoing e-mail work correctly after that first one.
What has Verizonn done to cause the problem on my client software? I have done nothing to change configurations on my Windows 7 and Windos Live Mail laptop. I have done some research, and verified that my computer time and time zone is correct. I am looking for an explanation on why this is happening from Verizon.

I get an error message for all the Apple tutorial videos: The file you are trying to play has failed to finish downloading and can no longer play." What is wrong and how can I fix it?
This means that you have downloadd the file from the internet, and the file did not download completely so the computer can't play it. To fix this, just re-download the file and make sure it finishes.

The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that CAN NOT BE VERIFIED.
First we have changed nothing, we have not done anything to our Yahoo or Outlook 2003 and suddenly this starts popping up all the time.
We have Windows 7, Office Pro. 2003 and use Outlook 2003 with Verizon Fios and Yahoo is our email server. This message started popping up yesterday out no where, does anyone have any thoughts about it? I have posted it on the Verizon site, however I have more faith in the help I receive here thank you.
The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that CAN NOT BE VERIFIED.
A certificate chain processed but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider.
Do you want to continue using this server?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Did you get any email notification of a change to your email servers? So far I only found these settings from 2010
Incoming Server: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
Port: 110
Outgoing Server: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
Port: 25
(Big thanks to SomeGirl for this info)
Are these the settings configured in outlook? If these are the setting they may need to be updated

I have a network of 9 macs that connect via ethernet and a router. All of a sudden one of the macs cannot be connected to. It can connect to all others and the internet, but no one can connect to that one. I have appletalk active and file sharing on, but everytime someone tries to connect to it, it is not on the network. Additionally, the personal file sharing keeps turning off even though I have it locked. Any ideas?
Hi orangekay
not sure where you got the idea that I have
bizarre encrypted filesystem plugins and scripts you have manipulating them all the time
because I do not have any such running, just normal Applescripts that do tasks that could be done by hand. -
I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported". If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video. The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
KironHello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!
