Cannot find command in Finder: Go Connect to Server

I recently read about creating a Finder shortcut to an iDisk-like service that allows you to mount an 'internet hard drive' on your desktop. The first step is to use the Finder's Go > Connect to Server menu item. Uh, what? I don't see it. Why?

I should have mentioned that the command provides no output if it succeeds, but will give an error if the key isn't found - so when you say you saw the error after the second command, does that mean there was no error after the first? The commands were intended to attempt to delete ProhibitConnectTo' property from two files where it is known that the key will be recognized but the property wouldn't necessarily be exepcted to exist in both.
Knowing that the affected account is "admin" is helpful because it pretty much rules out user limitations (an "admin" account normally can't be "managed"). The fact that only the original account is affected does narrow things down considerably since it rules out a "Finder.app" Menus.nib hack. It also suggests that if a ".plist" file is responsible, it will be one in the user's folder, ruling out one in eg. "/Library/Preferences".
A couple of quick tests - try moving the com.apple.finder.plist file from the affected user's "~/Library/Preferences" folder and logging out and back in (some "Finder" prefs will need to be reset). The output from these commands might indicate if the 'ProhibitConnectTo' setting is hidden in other ".plist" files in your "home" folder:<pre>defaults find ProhibitConnectTo
defaults -currentHost find ProhibitConnectTo</pre>Or, to take a really broad approach, try moving the entire "~/Library/Preferences" folder, moving it temporarily to the "Desktop" and logging out and back in again. If the menu item appears, you should be able to gradually add back your original preferences in small groups, (restarting the "Finder" and checking the menu as you go) so that you don't have to reconfigure all of your settings...

Error message, Cannot find iTunes Connect user

I cant access my I tunes from my Iphone, I get the following. Authentication Error. Cannot find iTunes connect user (2002)(2002)

Hello wallydt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Best of luck,
Mario

No Finder Go "Connect To Server" option

After installing OSX 10.6 I no longer have the Finder > Go > "Connect To Server" option. Command-K does not activate it. How can I connect to a known server? How can I get this option back on the menu?

Thanks!!!!
That helped me...
I could pull up a list of other computers on the network (command-k), but when I tried to connect to any one, I got looped back to the list. Wouldn't connect at all.
Deleting the finder prefs worked like a champ.
rock on.

Why is a 'globe' contact available in Global Address List (which belongs to AD), but I cannot find it on AD server?

I have a topic at link:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7b74fd63-1d0d-449e-9f31-83b707683053/finding-microsoft-document-about-globe-contact-in-outlook-address-book?forum=outlookdev&prof=required
Please see the post first.
I dot not make sense about why a 'globe' contact is available in Global Address List (which belongs to AD), but I cannot find it on AD server? I think the cause relates to Exchange server.
Could you give me an explaination!
Thanks advance.

And here the Documentation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201680.aspx
Mail contacts
Mail contacts typically contain information about people or organizations that exist outside your Exchange organization. Mail contacts can appear in your organization’s shared address book (also called the global address list or GAL) and other address lists,
and can be added as members to distribution groups. Each contact has an external email address, and all email messages that are sent to a contact are automatically forwarded to that address. Contacts are ideal for representing people external to your Exchange
organization (in the shared address book) who don't need access to any internal resources. The following are mail contact types:
Mail contacts These are mail-enabled Active Directory contacts that contain information about people or organizations that exist outside your Exchange organization.
Mail forest contacts These represent recipient objects from another forest. These contacts are typically created by directory synchronization. Mail forest contacts are read-only recipient objects that can be updated or
removed only by means of synchronization. You can't use Exchange management interfaces to modify or remove a mail forest contact.

I am able to see the executable server in the ggate home.In addition to Steve's reply, note that the broken installation may actually be on the target system, not the (local) source system. Unable to find "server" may mean that your source GG installation is unable to send remote trails to the target system, because "server" can't be found on the target. When checking the target gg installation, also be sure you've configured your source system to send to the correct mgr port & correct remote host. You might be sending data to an older (perhaps (partially) uninstalled) version of GG.

Replacement for Finder's "Connect to Server" interface?

The Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server interface is a bit minimal, to put it mildly.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to:
• Rename the connections ("smb://192.168.1.32" isn't very helpful)
• Organize them in folders
• Sort by name, connection type, etc.
• Specify whether or not to save user/pwd in the Keychain
Anyone know of any third-party connection-manager utilities?

That's what I was thinking. I have read numerous "how-to's" about this, and all of them say that this is possible, but I think what I am really reading is "How to copy files between computers" and not "How to use a PC as a server."
Thanks again!

Cannot find wifi connection anymore

I purchased my iphone this past March and everything has been working fine until now. Last Thursday I was on wifi downloading an app that was about 12MB. After making the purchase, I was disconnected from wifi and could not proceed with the download.
I continually tried connecting, but could not find the network. It is now Monday and after resetting the network settings, trying the airplane mode trick, updating to the latest version, and restoring I still cannot find the network. I've tried on multiple networks too and still no luck. I tried phoning Tech Support but they said I'd have to pay for phone support. Any suggestions? hardware problem? Have no idea who to send it to if needing replacement. No Apple store near by either.

So I have two iphones (3G and 3GS) in the family, an ipod touch (1st gen), an IMAC, AppleTV, MAC Book and a MAC Book Pro. An new dual band Apple Airport Extreme and dual Apple Airport Extreme.
The computers & Apple TV connect just find to my network (security is WPA/WPA Personal). The iphones and ipod touch cannot connect worth a hoot. My neighbor has a Belkin network (no security) and both phones and touch connect just fine. I am totally flummoxed. I have tried resetting the network settings on the iphones but to no avail. The only time the devices connect is when the phone or touch is literally within a foot of the base station.
any suggestions?

Finder - establishing connection to server takes forever

Hello,
I already found an archived discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/10356039#10356039) which explains my server issue.
Anyway I will write some further thoughts down here and I don't use VPN.
Our company with about 40 (Lions, Mountain Lions and Snow Leopards) employees runs a Xserve with Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
The problem I have consists of the File Sharing Service over AFP and/or SMB (I tried them both).
Most of our clients have no issues connecting with Finder to the file server and mount shares.
But a few of them have issues regarding the connecting time (~1–2 min.) until a share is mounted successfully.
After the connection is established there are no further performance issues.
Anyway this waiting time is annoying.
I don't really know whether this is a server or a client issue.
The issued clients are OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion respectively.
What I already tried was creating a new user on one issued machine, but didn't help.
I'm looking forward to get some support with this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Delivery Boy

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

"Cannot find Internet Connect"

My G5 is running on Leopard, configured for Extreme AirPort. Since updating to Leopard, a pop up panel with a purple icon of USB port with the message "that the internet connect cannot be found" frequently stops my workflow. While it is a simple click on "OK" to clear this panel, the frequency with which my digital workflow is interrupted is extremely annoying. I do have access to the internet via AirPort, so what is to be done?

Internet Connect has (thankfully) been removed from Leopard. You can now set up a VPN with the Network Preferences. Click on the + icon below the list of network services to get a window with popup menu that has VPN as one of the interface choices.
