ARD Connection failed when trying to control everything else works

I have:
a few macs verifying hard ware specs G4,G5, Intel etc. All with the latest updates and fixes.
I have ARD on 3.
I have one rogue iMacG5 20 inch. I have ARD running on this mac and it works 100%, I can control copy everything to any target computer.
However I can not control this imacG5 from any other computer. I can copy, wake, restart, shutdwon do any thing but control or observe. I have tried this from other macs, running intel and G5 chips. they al have the latest 3.1 and individual serial numbers. All I get is connection error.
the console produces this

Hi Rick
That's worked!
I did reboot Airport Extreme initially (had to switch off power to AEBS and Lacie disk as looks like there is no power switch on the AEBS?...and tried, but same problem. But then tried this again and all now works as before.
Thanks for your advice and the direct connection tip, which I was considering doing anyway if the conventional route didn't work.
Phew!

Connection failed when trying to connect to external Lacie hard disk

I have an external Lacie hard disk which sits under and is connected to my Airport Extreme base station. I access that volume by using the 'Connect to Server' option in the finder, and I can see the Lacie drive when I get to the stage where I click to 'browse' and then click the Network icon.
However, today instead of connecting as usual (after asking for password authorisation, etc.) I now get a temporary window message saying:
"Looking up, "x1-6........local..." I guess the IP address?
After 3 minutes I then get the following error message:
CONNECTION FAILED
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
Yesterday I had a problem with my MacPro while trying to access info on the Lacie volume and with no response from the MacPro to shut down, I had to hold the start button down to get it to shut down. I then turned the Airport Express and Lacie disk off at the main plug powerpoint (I forgot to dismount the Lacie volume from another Mac running!). Hoping this would reset everything, but now this problem has happened!
Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated as I hold some key financial and business info on the Lacie volume and I can't access it now!!!
Thanks

HT4157 I get "Connection Failed " when trying to access the Account.

I cannot establish a connection when attempting to add a data account with ATT. I received the following message: "Connection Failed - The connection to the server was lost. Please try again later."
I've been trying all day! Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Unshare your home folder and then you can connect. Apparently Lion shares your home folder by default.
Worked for me.

"Connection Failed" when trying to connect to another Mac on my wireless network.

Hi,
I am having an intermittent problem with the connectivity between my iMac and Mac Pro - the latter is the media server for our house. Occasionally my Apple TV's seem to lose connectivity to the Mac Pro too which is a real pain. Both Macs are running Mavericks and the Apple TVs are running the latest software too.
If I try to connect to the Mac Pro in Finder on my iMac, the Mac Pro is there but when I click on it I get "Connection Failed". Rebooting both computers seems to fix the problem but is far from ideal when mid way through a film!
The messages in console on my iMac when I try to connect to the Mac Pro in Finder is:
14/03/2014 10:20:33.542 sharingd[253]: SDSharePointBrowser::handleOpenCallBack returned -5999
14/03/2014 10:23:34.180 locationd[82]: could not open write stream for /var/db/locationd/clients.plist
I'm not sure if this provides a clue?
Thanks in anticipation,
Rob

I've managed to connect OK using Connect as. So at least that part is solved. I will see if I can get any diagnostics as to why the Apple TV drops out.

Why won't my FaceTime connect? It keeps saying connection failed when trying to sign in.

Why won't my FaceTime work? I just got this iPad new was able to FaceTime once. The next time I tried to FaceTime it said phone number incomplete. So I signed out of FaceTime and now it won't sign back in. It keeps saying connection failed check connection. I am showing I'm connected to the wireless router. What could be the issue?

Ok, so sometimes apple's servers may crash, temporarily. Just check the following site: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/systemstatus/
and it will notify you of any crashes. The link above is for the UK. Change to adapt to your country if you are outside of the UK. If your problem isn't listed I am sure it will be resolved within 24 hours. If this problem persists best thing is to contact apple.
Hope this helped :)

"Connection Failed" when trying to access TC that I have already connect to

Hello,
I have been connecting to my office network for well over a month now with no problems. Now, no matter what I do, i can not connect to the Time Capsule that provides the WiFi for the office.
The Office Network appears in the Airport drop-down list and I can select it to connect to it. However, even though I enter the password in correctly, it continually says "connection failed."
The other computers (all Macs) can connect/stay connected just fine. I have tried restarting both my computer and the entire office network several times to no avail. I have updated all software on my computer. I have removed the network from my list of preferred networks, tried to connect to it again, and I have manually "Join Other Network" all to no avail.
The same thing happened about 2 weeks ago. Just randomly, after about 3 hours of no connection, it allowed me to connect again. I can connect just fine to any other Wireless Network--Starbucks, my home Aiport Express, Apple Stores, etc... I am limited in what I can do to the Time Capsule, seeing as how it is the Office's and I am not authorized to get onto Airport Utility/change settings on the TC.
I am at my wits' end with this one.
My computer:
1.83GHz Macbook Pro
1GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.3.1
The Wireless Setup:
Comcast cable modem, connected to 1TB Time Capsule with latest firmware/software updates.
Thank you for any suggestions.

I am having the same problem starting today since my trusty ol' PowerMac froze up on me. I've repaired permissions and the disk.
Other devices on the network work fine with the same password, but my main machine won't connect!

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?

Airport see the drive but "connection failed" when trying to connect.

Hello everyone.
I connected a USB drive to my airport extreme. it does show in finder but whenever u try to access it I get the.
I can also see the drive in airport express utility but nothing shows up in Airport Disk Utility!
Any ideas???

Hello all-
I have the same problem. I have a WD 250GB My Book Drive (FAT32 Formatted). When I connect the drive to the AEBS, I get two problems:
1) When I select the option to secure the disk with the Airport Base Station Password, and then enter the password when asked, I get an error "User ID and Password are incorrect." However, if I secure it with a disk password, there is no problem.
2) My drive shows up as a Shared Drive in Finder, and I can read and write to it with no problems. However, it does not show up in the Airport Disk Utility as an Airport Shared Disk. Also, it does not show up in the menu bar either as a shared disk.
Any ideas?

Connection failed when trying to connect as guest

One mini works fine, but the other mini and my air won't allow it.
And I can't find where the settings are different.
Can anyone help?

Too bad this solution is hard to find... Let's mark it as solved so others can find it easily.
Glad it saved you a clean install!

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.

Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

Talk to your IT department...
Or if you're at University, talk to the computer team.
Most Uni's are using outlook.com as the server connection not mail.youruniversity.edu
