Can't connect to server internally when external internet goes out
Whenever our internet service goes down, we can't even connect to our internal server through our own internal network. As soon as our external internet service comes back up, we can connect just fine. I can't figure out why the two would be related - here's the setup we have:
Internet
+
Modem (bridge mode, passes internet signal straight through)
+
Airport Extreme (acting as DHCP Server)
+
Gigabit Switch (feeds ethernet drops to all offices)
+
OS X Server (acting DNS Server, with only itself identified as primary zone and verified)
All client machines are set to use OS X Server as the DNS server using it's direct IP address. The OS X Server machine is set to use the Airport Extreme as DNS Server, Airport extreme has Open DNS set for DNS servers.
So what about this setup causes our client machines to NOT find the server through our local network when we lose internet connection?
Thanks for any help!

Ipad 2 can not connect to server after 2 day internet outage
Situation:
Internet access was down 2 days and was just restored
Restarted router
iPad 2 connected to appropriate wifi network, but got error message "could not connect to server" when using Safari. Also, could not access any other internet related service like web email.
Other devices --- iPad air, Mac, PC laptop and 2 iPhone 4s ---- were able to connect and access internet successfully.
Actions Taken:
Powered off iPad 2 and then restarted it. No luck.
On iPad 2, turned off wifi setting and then turned it back on. It connected to appropriate network, but still could not connect to server.
Reset router again --- no luck.
Question:
Any suggestions?Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo -

Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.

Hi, I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad mini however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this problem? Also i cannot download anything from the App store as a result of this.
Can you check the Object Security for the Analysis Menu and Export button and see if it is restricted?
Also, is this a Oracle DB? IF so, has the following 32 bit Oracle Client components been isntalled:
Oracle Objects for OLE

I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).
I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

Safari can't connect to server problem (just one website)
After I upgraded my mac about a week ago, I can't open a particular website using my home wifi (Safari can't connect to server) It lets me open page but one, which happens to be my mail website. However, when I use a public wifi, I can open that website without any problem. Any ideas why this happens?
Linc.
I have been unable to connect to specific random favorite sites and tried your posts suggestion
"Boot into Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results."
I was able to connect to all my unavailable sites. Can you help me discover what is preventing my access when not in Recovery mode. I Made the Safari preferences match the recovery mode Safari preferences so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
I ran EtreCheck
These are the results

Why I can not connect RTP server
Hi all,
Here I encounter a problem that I can not connect RTP server as below address:
rtsp://159.226.42.36/mp3
I can play the address link using realone or MS media player on internet although it's little long time to connect the server..
I'm just wonder why the address style in examples is not as above,but as below:
rtp://159.226.42.36:554/1
How can I play the link as rtsp://159.226.42.36/mp3 or rtsp://159.226.42.36/mp3/looks.mp3 sth. like that?
Thanks!BTW, the code is below:
private void startRTPPlayer(String session) {
try {
player = JMFEngine.getInstance().createRTPMediaPlayer(
new RTPConnectionInfo(session), null);
statelabel.setText("Opening " + session);
player.addControllerListener(new RTPControllerUpdate());
RTPManager mgrs = (RTPManager) RTPManager.newInstance();
player.realize();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
logger.warn(e);
statelabel.setText(e.getMessage());
return;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
logger.warn("The media resource location is not available");
statelabel.setText("The media resource location is not available");
return;
} catch (IOException e) {
logger
.warn("The resource can not be opened or connected currently");
statelabel
.setText("The resource can not be opened or connected currently");
return;
} catch (NoPlayerException ex) {
logger.error("No available player", ex);
statelabel.setText("Can not play the resource");
return;
class RTPControllerUpdate implements ControllerListener {
public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent ce) {
// Get this when the internal players are realized.
if (ce instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent) {
player.start();
if (ce instanceof ControllerErrorEvent) {
player.close();
logger.error(((ControllerErrorEvent) ce).getMessage());

Keep getting connection to server error when trying to sign in to iCloud
I am getting a connection to server error when I triy to sing in to iCloud.com
This query seems to be related to Edge Code. you can get help from this forum.
Also EdgeCode doesn't have troubleshooting page but you can get help from Brackets trouble shooting page. -
I can't get iCloud to turn on. When I try to start it I gat a message "can not connect to server". How do I start the cloud?

Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive. When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error. I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is. It simply will not let me see the content. It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.
Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU" -
Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"
Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
Here are the particulars:
This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
"home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB
Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MBLet's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.1
Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
Apply now. Good luck.
Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.
