Can't connect to the server. What to do?

I can't connect to the Yahoo server. I enter my password but it says the same.

Your question isn't clear, but I'll make an assumption you are talking about the Yahoo mail server in the Mail app. Is this correct?
If so, delete the mail account and add it again. Others are reporting this simple solution works for them.

I can't get my email messages anymore - it says it can't connect to the server - what can I do?

I can't get email messages anymore - it says "connection to the server failed." What can I do?

mastafford,
I definitely want this error cleared up for you! When you get this error, is your phone using the cellular data or wifi data? Do you have any issues getting into your email via the web browser?

Hi...
Try restarting the AMDS > How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
iCloud system status reports everything green > Apple - System Status

I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

*URGENT* How can i get a website to load instead of saying "Can't connect to the server"

My computer is not loading a website. This is urgent for university work!! My computer keeps saying: "Can't connect to the server" no matter what internet browser i use, and other people with Mac's can use it fine! I need it for university work. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait few minutes.
Plug it back in. Power on the router.
Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Can't connect to the server

my apple TV second generation can not connect to the Itunes store. I keep getting a message saying. Apple TV can't Connect to the server at this time. Please try later. Is it on my end or is there an issue on Apples side? I can see previews and such but can not buy or rent anything

I have four Apple TV's in my home, and I get this message all the time. What is intersting, is when it occurs on one,it occurs on ALL four simultaneously. We also have two iMacs, two iPads, and three iPhones, all use the same apple I'd and password, those other devices connect to iTunes just fine when this occurs with the TV's. I too can also watch previews, use Netflix, etc.
It is clearly a gremlin specific to iTunes and Apple TV's, and your account. Re booting the TV does work.
I am forever rebooting Apple TV's, as well as forever returning them for free replacements as they experience a variety of problems, locked screens, failure to pair with a remote, etc.
Apple knows the fix for this is a reboot, so why is that not an express lane answer??
Very frustrating devices, ITunes does have the best content, and the highest prices. But I suggest use your apple tv for watching Netflix at $8 / month rather than $5 / movie. Especially when they do not seem to care enough to fix bugs like this so we can enjoy the pleasure of overspending for their content without extreme frustration.
Imagine three kids with Apple TV's in their room. (we do not have cable). A thousand "Dad, can you come fix my Apple TV again".
Signed, the 24 hour on call IT man because I was stupid enough to invest in so much apple product.
Bottom line? Anytime anything goes wrong with your Apple TV, it's not you as long as you have Internet, it's Apple, reboot when in doubt, or unplug and replug, even better.

TS3623 If the screen says Unable to Sign in-Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. please try later. I've been getting this reading for about a week

My screen has been reading for about a week: Unable to Sign In, Apple TV can't connect to the server at this time. Please try later. What do I do to get pass this screen. I purchased a movie series season from HBO and I can't watch it because I can't pass this screen.

Hi Kailik Hunter,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if you're unable to sign in to your Apple TV and continue with setup:
Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
If you are still having trouble, you can try to reset your equipment by unplugging Apple TV, your television, your wireless networking equipment or AirPort Base Station, and your router from their power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, then plug everything back in.
Cheers,

Email intermittently says it can't connect to the server but connection doctor says I'm connected

I have both my Yahoo and work email accounts on my MacBook Pro. Intermittently, my work email refuses to send, giving me the error message that it can't connect to the server. Connection doctor says work email is connected to the internet, and some emails will go while others won't. Have checked server settings agains my Iphone, and they are identical. No problem emailing from the phone. Help?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Are you using OS X Server here, or is this a connection with some other server? If this is OS X Server, what version is running?
Please post a screen shot of the dialog box, and an example of a URL that's failing. (You can use ⌘⬆4 (command shift 4) to activate the screen capture mechanism, and the camera icon here to upload the image. Please make sure you don't include any sensitive information in what you're uploading.)

Safari can't connect to the server, but firefox can

i have a few websites (mainly google sites) that don't show with safari but they do with firefox
i'm getting a "Safari can't connect to the server" error
to take DNS out of the picture i am looking up the ip address for the server and use the ip instead of the domain name so
http://74.125.19.103/images?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um= 1&sa=N&tab=wi
works in firefox but not in safari
any ideas are more than welcome.
thanks,
tom

Hello Tom:
No I meant restart the computer. OS X rebuilds preference files as needed, but I am not sure what it does if you do not restart.
You could also reset Safari (that will also delete your cookies).
Just for the heck of it I would also run permission repair and also run repair disk from your software install DVD (those will probably not fix anything, but it does not take much time either).

My ipad says it can't connect to the server although other in the house are able to. Sometimes turning it on and off seems to help. Other times you just have to keep trying.

My ipad says it can't connect to the server although other computers in the house one the same wifi are working fine. Sometimes turning it on and off will help.

KKbrummund, thank you for sharing your concerns about your Kin device. I understand that it can be frustrating having these issues with a new device. At this point, since the phone is able to access internet, but just can't connect to Windows Live, there may be a problem in the phone itself. We can submit a trouble ticket to our network team to see if there are any network issues causing this. Also, if you are within your 14 day worry free guarantee (this may be different for some indirect agent locations) you may want to try exchanging your device.
Please let me know what option you decide to take. If you are past the worry free guarantee or have had the phone exchanged already, I can submit the trouble ticket for you.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

My ipod touch connects to wifi but can't connect to the server.

Ok, so my ipod youch says it's connected to the wifi but when i try to get on the internet it says it can't connect to the server. I've looked and there's alot of answers but they're all soooooooooooooo complicated. I'm like 14, so whoever can answer this, please use small words.
I've noticed in alot of the answers they talk about your IP adress, if it's any consilation mine starts with 169. No matter where I go, if it's at home, or at starbucks or a hotel.
Thanks for your time

Have you tried restoring your iPod touch in iTunes?
You may just be trying to connect to "Printer Networks" that allow a company/residence to print something from their printer wirelessly, it would appear on your iPod touch just about the same as any other network, but you wouldn't be able to use internet while connected to that network...
If you are talking about "free wifi" in a Cafe, like Starbucks, you will usually need to open Safari. A Page will load and tell you how to connect to their internet, whether it's by paying, or just agreeing to their terms...
Like, I said, if that isn't the problem, try restoring your iPod touch in iTunes...
