Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. If there's no change, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Snow Leopard Mail 4.5 cannot connect to iCloud e-mail

As of an hour ago, the official word that I received from MobileMe support is that iCloud e-mail cannot be accessed from Mail 4.5 / OS 10.6.
I've followed the instructions from Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864) as well as Wilmut (http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html) to no avail.
Even tried many other variations to no effect.
Does anyone have a known solution?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Selected excerpts from my Chat with Apple support:
Chat Support

Duration: 00:25:25
Customer [10:26 p.m.]:
I'm not interested in making full use of iCloud's capabilities from my Mac at this time. I just want to be
able to access my e-mail account from my Mac and not be forced to relay on the web or phone to do so.
Advisor [10:27 p.m.]:
Yes I realize this and even for mail you need Lion.
Customer [10:29 p.m.]:
From Apple's own kb - Note: If you are using Mail on a Mac (OS X v10.7.2 or later), the Mail app on an iOS
device (iOS 5.0.1 or later), or Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 on a Windows PC, follow these instructions
for automated iCloud Mail setup. If you are not using one of these email clients, you can use the
information below to set up your iCloud Mail account manually.
Advisor [10:30 p.m.]:
Yes that no longer works as you can see.
Customer [10:30 p.m.]:
Then why is that information still up on the web?
Customer [10:33 p.m.]:

I can not answer why it has not been removed but I can make our engineers aware of this.

Hi Zak,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Cannot Connect to iCloud server on my PC

I receive the following error when trying to log into iCloud on my Windows 7 (64Bit) PC:
"Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
I get this error message when using 2 different Win7 PC's - does anyone know what the problem might be?
There are no other issues with my iPone 4s, iPad or account access - just can't log into iCloud from my PCs.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I am sooooo frustrated - I did the "find my friends" app and it still comes up - unable to connect to server. How does this get fixed. HELP!
and why doesn apple not solve this issue.

Printer cannot connect to the server when "checking for update". Can't setup eprint.

I have an Officejet 4620 All-in-one working wireless. It prints, scans and sends and receives faxes well. After setting up a fixed IP address, I started to get this problem. I test the wireless connection pressing the wireless button and report says everthing's fine. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
This is how I configured IPv4:
IP Address 10.0.0.250
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.67
Preferred DNS Address 10.0.0.67
Alternate DNS Address
WINS Server 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS Server 0.0.0.0

doghaus,
Change your preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and your alternate to 8.8.4.4.
Let me know if that works for you.

I cannot access iCloud through iPad since installing latest update. Keep getting Accept the new terms etc" but can't do so through the setting s page

When I go to the settings page to access iCloud and click on terms and conditions it gives the message

Cannot connect to any server (mail, safari, firefox, etc) unless I reboot.

Tried:
calling my service provider,
using network diagnostics/
verifying/repairing disc's, with no luck.
When I finally reboot and put in my pw, it shuts down and restarts by itself. Then works fine:all -widows, sites open automatically.Untl next time i close and open my laptop.

After seeing no help for my question, looked elsewhere.

TS3899 I tap on mail and I get a message that "cannot connect to the server" what does that mean and how do I fix it?

Cannot connect to the server. What to do?

Hey LauradellLaurawidder,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with mail on your iPad. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
          - Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
                    1. Try a different Wi-Fi connection
                    2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
                    3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
3. Restart your iOS device.
4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
          - Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
          - Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
          - Add your account again.
* If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.
Additionally, if you are using a Gmail account you may find the following steps helpful:

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server. It says check your user name and password are correct. Well they are, and were. Nothing has changed except the mac OS.
Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it? Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums. so far all have proved unsuccessful.
I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Mike

Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included. You likely have corrupted settings for your "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts. Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to. Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column. When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line. Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server". Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

Upgraded to Mavericks, now cannot connect to iCloud, no e-mail!

Just upgraded.
Restarted.
Mac tells me it cannot connect with iCloud because there's a problem with "catsongs at me dot com"...
... except, I don't use catsongs at me dot com for my account...
... I use the dot mac extension
Restarted away... same message...
On the road and now locked out of my MAIL!!!!
Keeps telling me there's a problem with my dot me account in iCloud... but I don't use that account for anying. Signed in via Apple site... it's my dot mac...
Help!
Thanks,
Cat

Just to be clear.
AIM stands for AOL Instant Message. So an AIM Password is an AOL Instant Message password.
An Apple ID issued by Apple (@mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com ending IDs) can also be valid AIM Screen Names
In the past the password at Apple had to comply with the AIM limit of 16 characters.
I have seen a recent post that suggests that this limit may have changed.
Try logging in here if the Name was registered at AIM or is an @mac.com name
https://settings.aim.com/
(You cannot log in here with an @iCloud.com or @me.com ending ID as there are addtional checks in iChat 6 and upwards that invloved logins to both Apple And AIM at the same time to confirm access to the password).

Mail cannot connect to iCloud - restart every time necessary

Hello,
I have problem with iCloud and Mail. I have a MacBook Air and I always shut down my computer by putting down the screen.
Since a few weeks, whenever I restart the computer by putting up the screen, the Mail-App cannot connect to iCloud. It can connect to another exchange-mail server. I have to close Mail and reopen it again to get my mails from iCloud.
Does anyone knows a fix?
Best,
Matthias

In System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck sync to Mail.
If you have other email account go to System Preferences Internet Accounts and uncheck sync to Mail
Go to your User's Library. How to view the User’s Library folder
1) Go to Containers in the User's Library folder. Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
2) Go to the Mail folder. Rename the Mail folder to MailXX
3) Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder.
If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in
Open Mail. It will open in an empty Mail with no accounts. Add one account at a time and verify before adding a second email account.
Let me know if this helps. If you have messages saved under "On My Mac" we can import those into the new Identity. We'll go over those detail after we get your iCloud account working.
We can rename MailXX to revert if needed.

Solution to iCloud "cannot connect to the server" upgrade issue

I have just switched my iPhone 4s to a new carrier. (iOS 7.0.4)
Once the previous carrier (finally) unlocked its activation grip, all went well through restoring the phone. One issue remained:
iCloud wanted me to "agree to new terms of service" and would not allow me to do anything else with it. But when I tapped the button to "read the terms of service" the dialogue "Cannot connect to the server" popped up.
The solution turned out to be relatively painless:
Make sure you have backed up any Photo Streams that are present on your iPhone. (I use Aperture for this.)
At the bottom of the iCloud settings screen (Settings->iCloud) tap the "Delete Account" button. You will be warned that photos, documents, etc., will be deleted from your iPhone. As long as you are confident of your backups, tap "Delete" in the warning dialogue.
If you have "Find My iPhone" enabled, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to turn it off. This is the only way to gain access to this setting that I could find.
Cold-boot your iPhone (Power + Home). I suppose you don't HAVE to do this, but seemed like A Good Thing.
Return to the iCloud settings screen and turn iCloud back on. Enter your Apple ID and password. Double-check that "Find My iPhone" is enabled, if desired.
You will be asked to allow iCloud to merge documents, contacts, and so on with the information on your iPhone. Do this as desired. (I do not yet use iCloud for most of this.) Your Photo Stream will eventually show up again by itself.
Hope this helps, and I'm all ears if there is an easier and potentially safer solution!
Matt

I have the same problem. Did you solve it already?

Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2010 sp1 CU Dec 2011 server with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 reporting services instance. I am able to open Power View and use it normally when bypassing the ISA Reverse Proxy server. However when going thru ISA I receive the
following Error.
Power View Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for Silverlight. This error appears after I click yes on an Internet Explorer Display Mixed Mode prompt.
I've seen a couple references to this issue but not much. This one mentions a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I haven't had any luck with that. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/716433/cannot-connect-to-the-server-due-to-a-security-issue-the-server-may-not-have-been-able-to-match-the-host-for-silverlight
Any Ideas? Thanks.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
Hope this helps.

Dear Anubha,
I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
The version is 8.1.0.
This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned. I get an
"Activation Number" instead.
