Cannot connect to server, either!

Hi, all. I just read through some of the related posts to my problem which is:
I have 3 Macs connected via Ethernet, and usually have no problem connecting them to each other to share files. Now I have 10.5.4 installed in the MacBook Pro and the G5, I can get the MacBook Pro to see and connect to the G5, but the G5 absolutely will not connect to the laptop. It "sees" it, but goes to spinning beach ball every time I try to connect, forcing me to force quit the Finder.
<Sigh> Any idea what's causing this?
Thanks much.

I am having a similar problem. I have a 17" MacBook Pro and I am trying to connect to my wife's 15" MacBook Pro (both v10.5.5). I can use her MacBook Pro to connect and "share screen" with my MacBook Pro but I cannot even connect the other way (I can see her MacBook Pro in the "SHARED" side column). Everytime I try to connect it gives "Connection Failed".
I have both "Screen Sharing" and "File Sharing" selected and also have "Allow access for: All users". Also, tried "Only these users" to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

    Hello Guys,
    we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
    Scenario:
    - the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
      SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
    - WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
      Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
    Problem:
    Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
    "Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
    In the Details from the Error Message:

    Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
    Sorry for my bad English
    Best Regards,

    Hi Markus,
    did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
    P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented.  There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
    If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
    (This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
    Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
      E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
    It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
    If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
    Best regards
    Christian

    Hi:
    If you connect to the network via an ethernet cable, did you install the ethernet driver for your PC?
    Or if you connect to the network wirelessly, did you install the wireless driver?
    If you have installed either driver, unfortunately, I do not know what you can do about that problem.

  • 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. 

  • 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?

  • Error message "cannot connect to server"

    Often I get an error message "cannot connect to server" when
    I want to connect to acrobat.com directly from a .pdf document in
    order to upload it . Is it possible that there is some security
    issue involved, e.g. that the document is protected somehow? Or
    could browser or firewall settings be involved?

    Hi Peterernst,
    Thanks for posting.
    Perhaps yes, firewall, and browser popup blockers have been
    known to cause some behavioral, and connectivity issues within
    Acrobat.com
    Users have had success with allowing *.acrobat.com as a
    trusted site locally, to see if that allows connectivity.
    Also what browser, and OS are you using?
    If still in the Unix environment, do you have access to a
    Windows, or Mac environment?
    Thanks!

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • "Cannot connect to server" error when setting up MAMP local server in Dreamweaver cc 2014

    I am trying to set up my Wordpress 4.1 site with MAMP 3.0.7.3 in Dreamweaver cc 2014, but I am getting a "Cannot connect to server" error when trying to view the site live. The site works fine on the localhost:8888. I am using OS X Yosemite and PHP 5.6.2. Below are screenshots of my Dreamweaver settings. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Subhadeep!
    Think I'm getting closer (Lol). I did as you suggested and changed the web url to http://localhost:8888/Documents/projects/whoknew/. As you suggested I moved the local site to the Documents folder under the sub-folder projects. It is connecting to the server, but now I am getting the requested url cannot be found on the server. Below are screenshots of my current settings.

  • TS1398 iTunes , cannot connect to server. At both, my fathers and at my place, with both, his iPad1 and my iPad 3

    Started out with "Text Plus" triple charging me. Gave up on them.  iTunes sent me an email with the receipt of all 3 charges with "report a problem"  under each purchase. I clicked on it and that's when I had on my screen "cannot connect to server". This happens with both my iPodtouch 4 th gen. &amp; my new iPad3 , both are WiFi. This also happens at my place and my fathers, with my products and the iPad 1 WiFi I gave to him. I can get on my iTunes but can't buy anything. I can sync . Please someone help, Sue

    I just now did what you said and now it says; iTunes, cannot connect to iTunes store.
    Very puzzling indeed, I contacted iTunes the other day and Derrick told me to go to Apple , I did and they said their support community has dealt with this problem before and now I am here. I think I am going to sync my iPad with iTunes for the 8th time and see if that does anything, it's been about 24 hrs. Since I did it last. Thank you for your help,Sue

    2. Check with the rmi port number.
    3. if rmi port number is empty or any number is present ( check with Tr code: SMICM - services - check for p4 port number - it will be ex: 5<nr>04)
    4. fill the rmi port number as present in the P4.
    OR

    You may check your local PC Java Network Setting.
    Troubleshooting:
    Probably Javau2122 WebStart does not detect the correct Proxy Settings. In this case please proceed as follows:
    To change the Proxy Settings for Javau2122 Web Start:
    1. Click Start --> Run  and enter javaws. Press button OK.
    2. Control Panel -> Programs ->Java -> Network Settings...
    3. Select Direct Connection to switch off the proxy settings and press button OK.
    If this still does not work, select Use proxy server to set manually the HTTP Proxy and Port.
    Contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

  • Error cannot connect to server or DNS name when working with the SRDemo

    I receive the error cannot connect to server or Dns name when trying to

The url I am using is http://localhost:8989/SRDemo-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRlist.jspx I also tried using the IP address that didn't work . I really need to get through this demo.

    What about using:

    Or disabling any proxy settings your browser might have?

  • 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.
