Can't Connect to Server after Upgrading to Lion

I upgraded to 10.7 from 10.6.8. I've ran all the updates etc, but now I cannot connect to my OS X Server (10.6.8) or any other machine for that matter. The server appears in my finder window and will allow me to connect as a guest but if I try to login by clicking connect as or by using COMMAND+K and typing the IP I get a long wait after entering my PW only to receive an error that says "There was a problem connecting to the server "pggfx01". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator. It should be noted that I have other machines that came with Lion that connect without issue and other machines still running 10.6.8 that connect flawlessly. PLEASE HELP, I've searched and searched with no succes.

I've tried that over and over again ( I had found that solution previously ) but it doesn't work. As a note I can connect as a guest to anything, just not a registered user. So when I get to the step that wants me to create an AFP connection it doesn't work. I type in my username & password and the little wheel spins like it's trying to connect and the error I mentioned above pops up after a really long time. Very frustrated with this upgrade, it has killed my productivity.

Can't connect to server after binding to domain

Hey there, I need to join my MacBook Pro to a Windows Domain, I followed all the instructions to set up Directory Access and am able to bind the computer to the Domain, but when I try to connect to server I get the error message: "Can't connect to Server: Directory Services may not be installed on the remote server, they may be turned off, or the URL may have been entered incorrectly."
None of the reason noted in the error message are true, so any idea of what the culprit may be?
Thanks,

Mavericks Mail not working properly with Exchange server after upgrade from Lion

Mail will no longer maintain a stable connection to my company's Exchange server after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion. Nothing has been changed on the Exchange server. It has only partially downloaded the messages that are on the server. It seems to download current messages when they hit the server. It has difficulty sending messages. When I send a message, it gets stuck in the Outbox. It is constantly losing the connection to the server. The problem is only occuring with Exchange email. My iCloud email works properly as well as a POP3 account.

No shortage of pre-existing threads on Mavericks mail issues...

Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

Cannot re-connect to SL Server after upgrade to Lion

Hi all,
I faced a problem yesterday and I'm not sure what the reason could be.
First:
I have a Mini running SL Server for some time, all Open Directory users have mobile profiles.
For testing purposes I disconnected my MBA from the OD on the server, removed all mobile users except the local admin, and started the Lion upgrade.
After the successful (seemless!) upgrade I wanted to re-connect to the SL Server's OD.
That's were I'm stuck: I always get something like "Cannot connect to xxxxx. Error: -2100" (free translation from the german message)
Any idea what I was doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

After doing a lion server upgrade, i cannot logon to the server.app. asking me for administrator password but everything i type will not let me in.
Has the upgrade messed with security settings ?
Note: I can logon to the server direct ok, but i see this problem when clicking on the server app under applications

Can't connect to network after Upgrade to 7.4 on Vista

I was prompted to update to Apple Software Update for Windows 2.02
and iTunes + Quicktime (I think 7.4 something).
Currently use iTunes 7.3.2.6
After upgrade, wireless networking won't work. It sees the wireless access point, but I can't make a connection to it.
Hardwire network port doesn't work either.
I had to remove the Apple software updates from Programs and Features and then run a System Restore in Safe Mode to get functionality of network back (System Restore in normal mode fails).
I tried to go through the process a second time, downloading iTunes from www.itunes.com but the same thing happened.

Thanks! I can see that ip link was the obvious thing I was missing here.
I have a new interface 'enp2s0' showing as DOWN. I guess now I know what happened to eth0
UPDATE: I found out that vm tools has been upgraded as well, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … systemd%29
Thanks a lot for your help, I will definitely do some more digging in the Arch Wiki and forums next time!

Connecting to server after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I'm trying to connect to a hard drive wirelessly which is connected to a router. I used to have Leopard and connected fine by going Finder > Connect to Server and inputting:
smb://FND/Media
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I haven't been able to connect. I've tried connecting using the same address as above and also with:
smb://192.168.1.11/Media
Both open a dialog box asking for user name and password. As no password is setup just hitting enter should work (it did on Leopard). However, this time it brings up an error message saying:
Connection Error
There was an error connecting to the server “192.168.1.11”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.
Also when trying to browse for the server it doesn't appear. I'm not sure if it did on Leopard as I never needed to look for it. I can get into the hard drive by typing the IP address into Safari, but just can't connect to it.

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

I can't connect to server after installing router (WRT54G2)

Anyone please help. I can't seem to connect to the server, 192.168.1.1 after installing the router. Prior to installation it worked fine. Weird thing is I can connect to the internet through the router and stuff, just can't access the server. Help... thanks

First of all check the physical connection....From modem to the router on internet port and from the computer to the router on ethernet port1...Power light shoul be solid and there should be wlan,internet and ethernet port1 light.
Now check for the ip address...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway... IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you are not getting the correct ip address then, Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

Safari can't connect to internet after upgrading to yosemite

I just updated my early 2009 iMac to Yosemite from the latest version of Mavericks and now Safari, Mail, and Software Update can't connect to the internet but Chrome can (that's how I'm asking this). My internet connection is working, just not for Apple applications. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I expect to face the same problem at my (late 2013 model) MacBook Pro Retina running WIFI only. Safari doesn't open any web-side and App Store is dead too.
Trying following tip:
Try entering these commands in terminal.
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
IT fixes it for me, as long as you don't restart.
, it works for the moment, and just as mentioned, after restart it's gone and Safari doesn't work again.
However, I was trying to switch off WIFI and connecting the MBP to a LAN network. After a while, a very long while, Safari and App Store were running. After that I was trying to adjust WIFI and Fire wall seeing via System Preferences, without any success.
Google Chrome is running without such problems on my machine ...

Can't connect to internet after upgrading to 9.2 in windows7

After upgrading to itunes9.2, internet connectivity is lost. I must do a system restore to recover. I get an ip stack error of some kind. I would stay in itunes9.1 except that I have an Iphone 4 coming. any suggestions?

Fingers crossed, the Apple Engineers are getting closer to working out what the underlying issue is.
Good gracious. After checking my inbox further, I see Roy has posted a query over in the main thread on the issue:
Does anyone affected by this issue have Audials software installed? Some of the software packages are: AudialsOne, Radiotracker, Tunebite, Mediaraptor, and AudialsMobile.
Apologies for the nosy question, mikey, but do you have any of that software install on the PC in question?
