"Cannot connect to server" after Airport upgrade

On Monday evening I accepted the updates to my Mac OSX
10.4.5 system and downloaded the upgrades. It took it to
10.4.6 and it also contained an Airport upgrade. I
rebooted and used the Airport admin utility to refresh
the code in my Airport. Ever since then I cannot access
the Epson Stylus 740 through my Airport. I moved it's
cable to go directly to my G4 desktop and it works fine.
How do I get it working again on my Airport so my wireless
iBook can print to it?
RSVP Thanks
Dan

I was just out searching for a fix to my Epson 740 printer problem and
ran across an item at http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/macosx1041/topic3047.html. It sounds strange but I followed the
instructions and now my printer works fine through my updated Airport.
Reset procedure for Epson 740 solves printer error Problem
When trying to use the Epson 740 printer you get a message that says “Printer not responding. Check your connections.”
Resolution
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the printer.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. While holding down the ink and paper buttons at the same time, turn the printer on.
4. Release the ink and paper buttons and press the paper button once.
5. Plug the printer’s USB cable back in. The printer should now work.

How do I connect to server after an upgrade?

I connected to my computer/windows & downloaded iOS 7.1.1 software for my 4S yesterday, but didn't upgrade.
Now, when I go to upgrade phone, it reads 'not available' because phone cannot connect to server. I know it has to do with setting up email on phone correctly, but I'm not sure how to set it up in Phone & can't get to Apple bar right now...can anyone help me? I have 3 gmail accounts & iCloud acct, but main one is AOL, and having trouble Thanks for any suggestions!

Exchange active sync cannot connect to server after migration mailbox user from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 coexistence

Hello, everyone, my name is rafl
I have a problem with exchange 2013 active sync.
I have installed exchange 2013 coexistence with legacy exchange 2007, I have to migrate user mailboxes: [email protected] from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013.
but any problem with active sync connection on the mobile device after moving mailbox user. I reconfigure the exchange ActiveSync external connection domain (latest.domain.com) on mobile device replacing legacy exchange ActiveSync external connection domain
(legacy.domain.com)
the process of moving mailboxes successfully without error.
Access OWA for exchange 2007 and exchange 2013 is running normally
access mail from Outlook running normally
Certificate request has been installed and has no problem with it
The OWA virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
The autodiscover virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
ActiveSync virtual directory is configured for internal and external connections and different from the legacy exchange
user mailboxes are still on exchange 2007 is not problematic.
only problem with Exchange Active Sync on mobile devices, where I set up an email with android, iphone, windows phone. the error message: cannot connect to the server.
but, if I create a new user and create user mailboxes directly in exchange server 2013, ActiveSync can run without error on mobile device, access through OWA, MsOutlook, Outlook Anywhere also run normally.
only the results of user migration from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 which is troubled with exchange ActiveSync connection.
any ideas for this problem, and what should I check on the exchange server ..?

i have run the activesync test connectivity and get some error :
Testing TCP port 443 on host domain.co.id to ensure it's listening and open.
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.
Elapsed Time: 3091 ms.
Testing TCP port 443 on host autodiscover.domain.co.id to ensure it's listening and open.
The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.

The specified port is either blocked, not listening, or not producing the expected response.
A network error occurred while communicating with the remote host.

I have allowed access to port 443 (https) and 80 (http) on the firewall and re-run testconnectivity, but still with the same results. if I enable active sync for users who created directly in Exch 2013 there is no problem with the ActiveSync, just a problem
for users who moved from Exch 2007 to Exch 2013. @Android, iPhone, and Blackberry the error message "cannot connect to the server"

Cannot Connect to VPN After License Upgrade

Hello,
I am having an issue where I can't connect to VPN after upgrading the license.
The license upgraded is related to AnyConnect VPN.
I noticed from the newly upgraded license, the Encryption-3DES-AES is disabled whereas previously it was enabled.
Could it be the cause of the issue?

Cannot connect to internet after airport firmware upgrade

I bought a new Airport Extreme Base Station, hooked it up, and it worked just fine. Then it asked for a firmware upgrade, which I installed. Now the base station will not connect to the internet. I've tried re-booting my cable modem, re-starting the base station, etc. No luck. Pending an answer to this question, I re-installed my prior Airport Extreme base station, and it worked just fine. It wants me to do a firmware update, but I'm understandably reluctant.
Thanks for your help.
Bob

Thanks Chris. One of posts in this thread mentioned the possibility of a corrupt file in the operating system. I reloaded 10.7 using a flash drive I made and then did a hard reset of my Airport Extreme. That solved the problem. I hope this helps.

Safari Cannot Connect with Server (mountain lion) on wifi

I Posted this under Mountain Lion as Safari had no connectivity issues for me when I got my mbp and it had lion installed and ran beautifully-
NOW my apple (s) run fine on mountain lion
for a little bit,
and then I get "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
Now during this frequent occurance the APP store hangs and hangs as well.
This is most annoying-
The only way to use my apple products after this happens is to restart them
and then they work until they go into sleep mode,
sometimes they screw up before that and then
"Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
my Airport utility shows that it is scanning for networks-
When I was right in the middle of buying something from amazon-- I had to go to my decrepit old windows xp connected up only for cox email to complete the transaction-
This is not acceptable. Since it occurs on both of my apple computers and only started when I installed mountain lion.
This has continually gotten worse to the point I must restart my laptop continually-
Apple better get the lead out of their butts and fix this glaring fault- or should I install another web browser?
which I am disinclined to do-
I spent a fortune on these apple products and I expect them to work properly- I went to apple because I was so sick of microsoft and its endless headaches and updates and freezes lol--
kind of funny if you think about it.

Hi BSU1960,
I found the solution to my problem on a different forum. Turns out for some reason the anti-virus software that I run was interferring with my browsers' connecting to the internet. Once I disabled the web protion of the anti-virus my problem went away.
I have a question to Kaspersky Security, hopefully will find out what was the root cause.

After 7.0.6 upgrade Icloud email "Cannot Connect To Server". All other email works fine.

After upgrade to 7.0.6 both IPad and iPhone now will not send or receive Icloud email while at home. Get "Cannot connect to server " message. All other email accounts (google, verizon) work fine. Plus the "last backup" information unavailable as well as icloud storage information. Says unavailable, try again later. Also cannot view body of emails sent or received in the last 2 days. I am at work now and all works normally. If this is a wifi issue, I I do not understand why all other email accounts are sending receiving ok. It's only the Icloud server that seems to be the problem.

Cannot connect to server with icloud after updating to ios7 in iphone 4s

icloud will not connect to server after updating to ios7 on my iphone4. I have spoken to tech support and the response was that the server is crashing because of all the activity. Sounds pretty lame to me. With a company as large as Apple, this really is unacceptable. I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work, but to no avail.

voicemail is a carrier feature, so contact verizon.

MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
Many websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
Multiple PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by, but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?

Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of?

HP ENVY 4500 Printer "Error. Cannot connect to Server"

Hey everybody,
I work in IT and have a client that recently purchased a HP Envy 4500 all-in-one. She called me to install it for her and I got it set up with no problems. After a few days she told me that her printer wouldn't scan. It was giving her this error message;
"Error. Cannot connect to Server. Check Server name and address."
She has this computer connected via USB and I have already reinstalled the driver and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor with no success. I have tried a lot of other solutions that people have been posting with the same issue but none have worked. This has become a huge issue and I don't see HP trying to find a solution. If no soultion will fix this, then I will be returning this printer for her and getting something that works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
bbritt91

Hi bbritt91,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are getting a connection error message when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Envy 4500 printer.
To be able to use the scan to email feature the printer must be setup with web services which requires the printer to be connected to your wireless network with an active internet connection. I have included the Getting Started with ePrint document for reference.
If the printer has been setup with a wireless connection, please set a manual IP address and manual DNS server for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Please don’t worry that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
Please let me know how it goes.

N97 - Nokia Messaging msj: "Cannot connect to serv...

Hello everyone,
My name is Leonel and I´m from Argentina.
I bought my N97 - 3 by internet.
He fact is that i m trying to configure my Nokia Messaging with and IMAP account (job´s account)
In the past I have had configured this account on my device, but after a hard reset (due to firmware update) I can not make this account works (my Gmail and Hotmail account works perfectly)
I have checked all the fields like Incoming / outcoming port and server, mail, password, etc but the message always appear "Cannot connect to server"
I know that this account with the parameters i have put in the nokia mail web works perfectly since i have the same working in my PC (outlook express)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try to do what you said, but the i don´t think this will work.
I already have the nokia messaging on my device with 3 configured accounts: GMAIL / HOTMAIL / OVI MAIL.
The only one wich does not work is the IMAP account of my job (in the past, i had it full working on my n97 device, but as i said, after a full reboot, i try to configure again with no succes)
On the other hand, i am now trying what you said. Logining in email.nokia.com and making this page send me an sms to installa the Nokia Messaging on my phone again.
++
PD: For your information, when i try to configure my IMAP mail on the webpage ( http://email.nokia.com ) i fill in all the full blanks like incoming server, port, outcoming server, port, email, password, user, but after some seconds the webpage shows a message telling that it is not possible connect to the server. Try again later.
I do not know the reason, because i have this same this account configured in my oulook express (PC) with these same parameters, and works well.
Many thank again.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Photoshop Touch: Cannot connect to server

I have Photoshop Touch (version 1.7.5) installed on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (with the latest firmware). When I try to open files from my Creative Cloud, I get an error message that says: "Lost connection. Cannot connect to server". It's strange because I can see my folders, and the error message appears just after I click one of my folders to view it's containg files. I have tried to log off / log on and reboot the device, but it doesn't help. I can access my cloud files from a PC and I am sure the user name and password are correct. Does anyone know a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!:)

Sometimes the sign-in process goes kablooey for whatever reason. It can usually be remedied by tapping the options icon (the cogwheel out in the project selection user interface; upper right) > My Account. Sign in that way and you should be able to get everything going again. I just did it on my Google Nexus 7 2013 with no problems.

Cannot connect to server in Icloud

i had changed my email for my apple ID and I did not change it in icloud.... I cannot remember my password to my first apple ID on the icloud account. I need to know how to change my icloud info on my Ipad. It keeps telling me to review the terms and when I try it says cannot connect to server. I have tried to delete the Icloud account so I can add my new one but I need to know my password to old apple ID. I have tried to get them to email me to change the password but I am not getting any emails to do this. please someone help me
thank you

Steve,
If the mail was moved to a mailbox under "On My Mac", it should no longer have any connection to the original mailbox. Deleting (delinking) the IMAP email account from Mac Mail should have no effect on that message.
In fact, I just confirmed that by adding an IMAP email account of mine to this Mac (which had not used it before), sending it a message from my phone, moving the message to an "On My Mac" mailbox, and deleting the account from Mac Mail. The moved message remains in the "On My Mac" mailbox. Re-adding the IMAP account to Mail makes the server mailboxes available again.
Note that the situation would be different for an account accessed through POP, depending on mail retention settings. Any mail which had been downloaded to your Mac, deleted from the server immediately of after a period of time, but left in Mac Mail's Inbox for that POP account, would truly be lost if you delete the POP account from your Mac. This may be the situation of which you were warned.

TimeMachine cannot connect to server popup on MBP when roaming.

Time machine has suddenly started popping up an error message saying that it cannot connect to server while off-network on my MBP. I use a timecapsule to wirelessly backup when I am home. At home, it connects fine, no messages, no errors. It just started doing this when I am away - previously it either silently ignored not being able to connect or made a local snapshot. Either would be fine over popping up the message (multiple times).
I've tried the following so far:
1. Re-install Lion, restore user, applications, settings from backup - did after an erase of MBP lcoal harddrive to get a full install.
2. sudo tmutil disablelocal; sudo tmutil enablelocal; sudo tmutil snapshot - all worked fine
3. repaired permissions on local hard drive.
4. verified time capsule.
5. Added timecapsule disk to privacy settings on spotlight
6. I do use dropbox - tried quiting out of it
7. Changed name of time capsule disk
Console messages:
4/15/12 8:48:44.073 PM com.apple.backupd: Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://[email protected]/Study%20Time%20Cap
4/15/12 8:48:49.077 PM com.apple.backupd: NAConnectToServerSync failed with error: 64 for url: afp://[email protected]/Study%20Time%20Cap
Please help make the popup go away! All I want it to do is be silent when it can't connect.
Thanks

I THINK I may have tracked this down. I wiped my drive and did a clean install. Then I started installing applications back one by one, testing the time machine backup between each install. After each install I turned off the wireless interface and forced a time machine backup with "backup now." One of the first things I put back on was SOPHOS AV 8, and immediately I started seeing the problem. Wierd that Sophos could effect time machine that way, but now that I've looked on Sophos's support page, I found this:
http://openforum.sophos.com/t5/Sophos-Anti-Virus-for-Mac-Home/Time-Machine-compa tibility-error-when-time-capsule-is/m-p/6273
I've removed Sophos (something I don't love doing), and waiting until the next scheduled backup, but so far it's looking promising. If it doesn't work, I'll start over and load everything up again without Sophos and see how it goes.
