Alias could not be found error when networking with PC

I am trying to connect to the PC's at work via the ONLY Mac on the network. When I go to the Network home in the Finder, I can see all of the PC's on the system, but everytime I try to connect to them with the correct username and password, I get this error:
The alias "Development9" could not be opened because the original item cannot be found.
Has anyone seen this error? What could be the problem?

Hi Al-
1) Is your mac configured in the same "workgroup" as the PC's? (Look in Utilities>DirectoryAccess>SMB/CIFS>Configure). Workgroup must match, and try putting name using ALL CAPS.
2) Instead of using this alias, have you tried Using Finder "Go" Menu?
Go>Connect To Server> SMB://[PCname]/[Foldername]
There are some security settings which may need changed, over on the PC's. Search this group for 'digital signing'.

"The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when double clicking on an ics file

Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
2-) Click "Show Profiles"
3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
Is this a known issue or specific to me?
Thanks!

yes, I have the same problem.
The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
works,
but the ICS calendar
displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
why ??

Connecting to Windows Server displays 'alias could not be found' error...

We have a number of Macs all of which browse and connect to a shared Windows network... One Mac however, a 10.3.9 PoweMac G5, displays the 'alias could not be found' when trying to connect to one of the network servers (we have two, one is NT4, the other is WinSvr2003, we cannot connect this Mac to NT).
Any thoughts on why this particular Mac will not connect to this one specific server via the Finder? (we can connect however via GO->Connect to Server, just not through the Finder Network browser).
Thanks in advance.

Deleting Duplicates creates "original file could not be found" error

I am not running iTunes 8.2.1.6 and trying to delete duplicates that were created as I tried to move my iTunes Library to other drives. Now I have many duplicates - sometimes 3-4 of the same song. If I delete them I begin to get "original file could not be found" error when trying to play the one version I kept.
Is there some magic to which one I should keep?

iTunes doesn't help you distinguish between duplicates that are two identical copies of the same file or two separate references to the one original file. If the later is the case and you delete any reference allowing the source file to be deleted then ALL other references to the file become invalid. You can either check the properties of each file before deleting and choose whether to keep or delete accordingly or use itunesremoveduplicates from Teridon's iTunes Scripts.

When I tap the "download for Android" on my Android phone, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

I am attempting to install Firefox mobile on my Android phone. When I tap "download for Android" on my current browser, I receive a "requested item could not be found" error message.

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
On some supported devices, a bug prevents Firefox from appearing in the Market. This may be related to the recent Market update. You can go to Settings/Applications and uninstall the Market update, then find and install Firefox.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

My iPad2 "could not be found on the network" and won't sync

Please Help!
My iPad 2 won't sync and doesn't seem to be "seen" by my PC.
I have rebooted, restored and reset the iPad, and installed latest ios.
PC is running Windows 8 with latest iTunes whic has been re-installed.
The USB port and cable work fine - I don't have the the same problem with my iPhone 4S.
The iPad logo comes up in iTunes as a device, and I get the "pinging" noise when connecting. The iPad details come up in iTunes, but I can't back up or connect or do anything witht it.
It won't sync and I get error messages:"iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services"
and in one of my explorations
"iPad could not be found on the network"
Sometimes when the Ipad is connected iTunes will be ok for a short time, then go into "not responding"
When I try Windows Explorer the iPad does not show in the "Removable Storage" section like it used to, and like my iPhone still does.
In Device Manager, Apple iPad Properties, I get the message "This device cannot start (Code 10)". On line searchinh suggests this could be a driver problem however when checking for drivers I got the message saying my drivers were up to date.
Please HELPPPPPP!!
Thanks

It's now sorted - a driver problem
I found this tip in another thread. Thanks LexLester

Re: How to transfer pictures from iPad to PC? 06-Dec-2013 09:51 (in response to amershiraz)
When you are connecting your iPad with your PC, go to Control Panel, click 'view devices and printers' under Hardware and Sound. Your iPad device should be shown in there even it is not showing in My Computer. See whether there's troubleshoot for Apple iPad. Then troubleshoot it. It should be the device driver which is not functioning or being disabled or not up to date. You should be able to find your iPad under the Portable Devices in My Computer after the troubleshooting.

Crystal Report Pick List - "Table ADM1 could not be found" Error

Hi,
When preview is select in sales order, we select pick list gets error.
Crystal Report Window Forms Viewer:
"Table ADM1 could not be found"
Error in File Temp { .........} .rpt
The table could not be found"
If I login remotely , then log into SAP as this user I do not get an error.
I have given user full authorisation.
I have run Verify Database.
I am assuming it is some database or network user access rights.
Could anyone help on this?
Kind Regards,
Eric

Report was developed and tested against a 'test' database and then imported into a 'production' database.
Problem appears to be that when B1 connects it does not reset the login credentials for the unlinked tables such as ADM1 and OADM.
Performing the following steps appears to solve the problem. Not sure how many of them are really necessary.
1. Develop and test against the test system as before.
2. Save as a .rpt file outside B1.
3. 'Set Datasource Location' to the appropriate B1 datasource for the production database and individually link every table as well as the data source.
4. Save the .rpt file again.
5. Import into the production database.
This does not specifically address the issue where it worked when logged in to the server but not remotely. Perhaps when logged in remotely the test database was not visible but when logged in locally it was.

The server could not be found on the network ORA-12154

Hi All,
I have problem with one application. She run with Oracle DB. I installed Win2008R2 x64 and Oracle DB 32bit on the same server. I tried connect to DB via Oracle SQL Developer and SQL Plus and both run without problem, but when I insert the same parameters into application OpenText Content Server 10, then I see this Error:
Content Server Error:
[Error: The server could not be found on the network. ----> Error stack ----> 1) E675414020:The server could not be found on the network.:ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified ]
This application need only 3 parameters (System User Name, password and service name). I compare it with ORA files (listener, sqlnet and tnsnames) and I think that all is right. Here are this three files
listener:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = WIN-R0OEE0OAE5Z)(PORT = 1521))
sqlnet:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
tnsnames
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = WIN-R0OEE0OAE5Z)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
Do you have any idea where is problem?
Thank you
Vaclav

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

"Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
Printing is fine.
When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
"The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
Connection to the computer is lost
The scanner is in use
OCR application is not installed"
My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
The printer has a static IP address;
Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
Appreciate any insights into this problem.
I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?
regards,
Motorbike

You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible. If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

The ipod could not be sync because the ipod could not be found on the network

I plugged my ipod touch (4 gen) into my computer to sync and charge and itunes will not sync it any more. I the the error: the ipod could not be sync because the ipod could not be found on the network. It says it backed up on 11/4/13 which was just 5 days ago, but it won't let me back up or restore now at this point. It will charge the battery but that is all. Anyone know how to correct this problem?

Are yo set up to sync via USB vice wifi?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reboot the computer
- Try another USB port and cable
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I keep getting the "some items could not be found" error.

I keep getting the some items could not be found error for some podcasts I downloaded then deleted. Unfortunately, now, I can't get rid of the error message. So I'm trying to search for said podcast to re-delete the entry. And it's not there. And I can't find it anywhere else. How can I fix this?

Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
change DNS by adding ( + )
208.67.222.222
then
208.67.220.220
click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

How can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

how can i solve the vpn server could not be found error on my iphone 5s?

FWIW, back at work we have a Palo Alto Networks firewall and VPN. Have configured both the iPhone and the iPad with the pertinent details.
If I connect while in the premises (same LAN), connection is instantaneous and flawless.
If I connect while away, no matter which external network, the first attempt to connect ALWAYS fails with a NOT FOUND error. Yet if I try again immediately after, it ALWAYS connects with no further issues.
