Can't connect to server with "file:" in the url

I'm confused as to what this actually means. I get the pop up windows, usually twice, when changing users. I clear the pop ups and everything seems to work fine.

It happens to me also frequently.
I don't change user but it happens anyway. I've tried disabling dropbox and time machine as I read in some other discussions to try, but this didn't work.
If someone can help...
Thanks,
Marco

Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

Hi and welcome....
Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

Safari "Can't connect to server" with parental controls enabled

Safari says "Can't connect to server" when my childrens' accounts have parental controls enabled. Is there a way to enable parental controls on the administer's account??

Can't connect to server with the sidebar.

Hi,
I have a problem with my OS X 10.5.8 Server. I just can't connect to my shared folders with the finder's sidebar. when i use the workaround with "apple+k" it works absolutely fine.
The other thing is, that when the open directory user has the permission to administer the server he can still connect with the sidebar.
Does anybody know what the problem might be?
Best Regards
Dan

we have a similar problem at our office. Occasionally we cant connect to shared items in the sidebar of Finder. If an alias was set in "places" of the sidebar or on the right side of the separator on the dock, you can still connect, even though the connection to a shared item fails.
"apple K" does not work, but I may be using the wrong address to connect
Restart of server and workstation seems to solve this problem.
Server OS is 10.4.11, and workstation OS is 10.5.6
I'm stumped.

Can't connect to server with Server app

Hye
When I try to login to my server, it is in the servers list in the 'other mac' page (as jsmini.jorestha.be), but I can't login using that item. I can however log in using Other Mac item, typing in its intranet IP address... I can't connect with the real IP address either. Does this have anything to do with the settings? It used to work fine...
Thanks in advance,
Rugen Heidbuchel

See if the IP addresses and the domain names involved are resolving locally, and without having Server.app involved. If there are multiple DNS servers listed in the DNS resolving settings of the Mac client, and some are not on the local network, then apparently-weird problems can happen with a variety of tools.

Can I connect to server with Server Admin over vpn?

I succeed to connect with the server over vpn, allowing me to connect to disks e.g. but I seem not to be able to connect to the server to administer it with Server Admin. Is it a matter of openingen a port?

HELP: Can not connect LDAP server with 64bit ldap csdk5.08 on Solaris10

We are using 64bit ldap csdk5.08 on SunOS5.10. But it doesn't work.
We wrote a simple client program that connects using ldap_simple_bind_s() function. When I run the code it gives an error saying 'Can't connect to the LDAP server - Connection refused' .
At the same time using snoop to capture network packages on the ldap server , it shows no package received at all.
But if we use 32bit ldap library, the program works well and no error is raised.
And the 64bit ldap tool ldapsearch also works well, it can search data from the server successfully.
The sample code:
==================================================
#include <ldap.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main( int argc, char **argv )
     LDAP *ld;
     int rc;
     /* Get a handle to an LDAP connection. */
     if ( (ld = ldap_init( "150.236.42.53", 38902)) == NULL )
          perror( "ldap_init" );
          return( 1 );
     /* Bind anonymously to the LDAP server. */
     rc = ldap_simple_bind_s( ld, NULL, NULL );
     if ( rc != LDAP_SUCCESS )
          ldap_perror(ld, "ldap_simple_bind_s:");
     return( 1 );
}

This looks like a mismatch between C-sdk libraries and Solaris native libraries.
Are you sure your program loads the correct libraries ?

Can't connect to server with Automator, but can with Command-K

I'm trying to set up an Automater script in OS X 10.5.1 that will force a connect to all my afp and smb servers on the local network. All the servers connect fine except one. it's url is smb://192.168.1.30/shared%20files.
If I use Command-K and type that in, no problem, loads right up. If I use that url in an automater script it gives the error message "A volume failed to mount. The volume "shared files" could not be mounted."
This volume is on a NAS, and another volume on the same NAS opens just fine.
Any ideas why this would happen?
I've also tried to url smb://192.168.1.30;name@wd-netcenter/shared%20files to no avail. That url also works with Command-K

LOL. I'd actually thought of that, but didn't bother trying! Sure enough, that was the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.
For those who might follow this in the future, it's just
networkaddress/shared files
not /"shared files"
or /shared%20files
I don't like the inconsistency in OS X over this. In Terminal I need the quotes to handle a space, in Finder I need the url %20, and in Automator it's just type as displayed. I guess I'll file a bug report and see if they ever fix it.

Can't connect to server with Windows Live Mail

When I got the e-mail a few weeks ago about changing the e-mail settings, I did so. I use Windows Live Mail on my home computer. I have had not problems at all either sending or receiving mail from either of my accounts.
Early this morning, I checked my e-mail with no problem. When I logged in again around noon, Windows Live Mail wouldn't connect with my server. I double checked settings. Everything was as instructed. But I still couldn't connect.
I just changed them back to old settings and everything is working fine.
What's going on???

I'm having the same issue using my Mac. I did try going through the account setup on my Mac Mail for my verizon.net account and it automatically set it up using the old settings(very interesting). It wants to use incoming.verizon.net and outgoing.verizon.net. That actually worked. I got a test message. It was slow but did receive but sending one out from outgoing.verizon.net did not work. Obviously they are having major problems with this switch-over. There is nothing on the website about problems so my guess is they fouled up and are trying to recover without taking the fall again.

HT4623 how can i connect my iphone with my pc

how can i connect my iphone with my pc

Use the USB Cable/Power Cord supplied with your phone. Attach the USB connecter to your pc. Open iTunes, if it doesn't automatically open, and select your device when it appears in the left-hand column.

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I am not able to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try later. I am using same ID and password as I do with iTunes. Can someone help me?

I use the same Apple ID and password as I do with iTunes and have no problems accessing that.

Unpower it. If it still happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

TS1368 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 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.
