    The Cannot Setup Sync message indicates that you don't have internet access. Check that you can get your phone online (3g or wifi) and then try to connect again.

    please help!

    Tell us more about the disk and partition onto which you are trying to install Mountain Lion:
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities). The left column should show your disk with its partition(s) indented below it:
    How is the disk (top level container) formatted according to Disk Utility:
    * What Partiton Map Scheme? (Should be "GUID Partition Table".)
    * How many partitions? (Should be 1 unless you have a Boot Camp partition.)
    How is the partition (lower level container) formatted according to Disk Utility? (Should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".)

  • Cannot setup messaging in iPhone 4 with no service

    I have two older iPhones that havce been replaced by new phones and which are now in my children's hands. They have no phone service but are still used as IPods with WiFi connections for internet, games and messaging.
    But, if I try to setup the Message app on one phone, it tells me that "MMS Messaging requires your phone number". This is despite the fact the phone number on the phone is currently "0" and I have given it a valid gmail account to send messages to. Typing in a random phone number won't work either.
    The second phone works just fine because it remembered the phone number it used to have and it appears to not use that old phone number when sending messages.
    Any thoughts for seting up Messages for iPhones with no cell service?

  • Cannot connect to internet with iMac connected to airport via Ethernet

    Hi all,
    Firstly please forgive if this problem has been posted before but unfortunately i haven't yet been able to find a solution to my problem.
    I cannot seem to get my wireless network to work since updating my Airport to v5.7. I have reverted back to 5.6 but with no joy. OK, here's my setup - I have an iMac G5 1.8 which is connected to my airport via an ethernet cable (it is plugged into the correct port) and an iBook with an Airport card to connect wirelessly. The airprot is connected to my ADSL modem which is a D-Link 300T. When set up like this my iMac cannot connect to the internet even though my iBook can. When i take the4 iBook and Airport out of the equation my iMac connects fine to the internet via ethernet cable direct to my modem.
    As i've said, as soon as i bring in the iBook and Airport the iMac cannot connect via airport extreme, even though the iBook can connect.
    I have searched through the discussions looking for clues and answers. I have made sure that distrubute IP address is not checked and that internet sharing is off on my iMac but on on my iBook. I have tried all channels and all possible different settings on the airport admin utility but nothing works.
    I hope i've given enough information to give a clear indication what is wrong, if not please ask and i will try my best to answer. Any help would be much appreciated so i can convince my girlfriend that buying my iBook was not "a waste of money!".
    Many thanks in advance,
    Carl.

    Same questions as Paul.
    Open up the Network System Pref on the iMac G5.
    If you pick Show: "Network Status", what do you see ? Be precise.
    If you change Show: to "Built-in Ethernet", what do you see on the TCP/IP, PPPoE and Ethernet tabs ? Again, be precise.
    On the Network Status, you should see a green mark next to Built-In Ethernet, which should be at the top. It should also give you an IP address and tell you you are connected to the Internet. Well it would if it was working, so "say what you see".

  • Have 4S. Cannot send AOL messages. Went to Genius and they said that this is an issue with others. Any suggestions?

    O.k. I can recieve and send AOL on my HP just fine. BUT on my 4S, Ipad and IMAC, no go. Cannot recieve AOL messages or send out to AOL members. Itouch without an ios5 update works fine.

  • Logon balancing error:cannot connect to message server (rc=9)

    Hi Gurus,

    "Logon balancing error:cannot connect to message server (rc=9)"
    Then further expanding the message i am getting the below message
    " Error: Server '?' unknown
    Tue Mar 02 11:51:05 2010
    Release 710
    Component NI (Network Interface), Version 39 rc =-3 , Detail NiErrSet. "
    Can you please help me out in accessing the servers.
    Regards
    Vikram

    Check OSS Note : 882741
    Summary
    Symptom
    Some users cannot longer connect SAP GUI to any SAP systems e.g. via SAP Logon, SAPShortcut etc. although they have not made any update to either SAP GUI or SAP system. The attempt to connect to the SAP system ends with  error messages like this: "Logon balancing error: could not connect to message server (rc=9)", "service sapmsXXX unknown" or "service sapdp## unknown".
    The detailed error information is as follows:

    MSN Messenger 7.5,Connection Troubleshooter
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The reason for this malfunction is, that the datatype of the registry value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\DatabasePath
    was changed from REG_EXPAND_SZ to REG_SZ.
    The following programs are currently known to cause this registry change:
    Starting MSN Messenger 7.5 "Connection Troubleshooter" (Build 7.5.0299).
    Installation of MSN Messenger 7.0 or MSN Messenger 7.5 with the option automatic scanning and configuration of ports.
    This modification prevents the expansion of environment variables in the value of the parameter. Therefore,
          %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc
    is not translated to
       c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    and the services database is not found by the API function getservbyname().
    If you have checked the datatype of registry value DatabasePath and it is REG_EXPAND_SZ, apply SAP Note 52959 to check the appropriate settings in the services file.
    Solution
    Start the registry editor and rename the registry value HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\DatabasePath
    Create an Expandable-String Value (REG_EXPAND_SZ) with the same name and value.
    If more PCs are affected, you can export the correct value to a .reg file and import the .reg to other PCs.
    If you have the same problem although you have not installed Microsoft MSN Messenger 7.5, create a customer message, collect the following information and attach it to the message according to note 541726 or upload it to sapservX (see note 40024):
    Scan your workstations for spyware and viruses with up-to-date virus definitions. If you already did that what was the result ?
    What software has been installed recently ? (client software, Firewall)
    Create a registry export of the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstallon the affected and the unaffected PC respectively and attach the two .reg files to the customer message.
    Are the users on the affected workstations logged on with administrative credentials (local administrator ) ?
    Create an MPS Report Networking and Setup Perf of an affected workstation so that we can check if they use an software in common.
    You can download the Networking MPS Reporting Tool at:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_Network.exe
    You can find a short description about the features of the tool at:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_Network_Readme.txt
    The Setup Perf MPS Reporting Tool is located at:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
    Run this report too on identically configured workstations, which are not affected.
    If you have already changed back the DatabasePath parameter and if after a while the value was switched back to REG_SZ perform the  following steps to help us to identify the reason for this problem:
    Switch the datatype back to REG_EXPAND_SZ
    Download Regmon from http://www.sysinternals.com on the affected machines
    Enable auditing on the affected clients
    Modify the settings of the eventlog so that no important entry is deleted!
    Open Regedit and highlight HKLM\System\CCS\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
    Right-click on "Parameters" and choos "Permissions" and click "Advanced".
    Choose "Auditing" and "Add".
    Add "Everyone" and select "this key only" under "Apply onto".
    Check the boxes "Set Value" and "Delete" and click "OK".
    Apply these settings
    Start Regmon and apply the correct filter settings:
    Press the "magnifying glass" button  to stop the monitoring.
    Press the rubber button to delete  all logged entries.
    Go to "Options Filter/Highlight".
    Copy the following value to the include field: tcpip\parameters\databasepath and click "Apply".
    Start Regmon by pressing the magnifying glass button
    Verify that logging starts when you double-click the TCPIP Key in regedit!
    If the datatype will be changed again,  provide us the output of the monitoring tools.
    Solution provided by Microsoft
    This issue is said to be fixed as of build 7.5.0311 of MSN messenger.

  • Cannot Setup BBM - Temporary Bbm server error has occured

    I'm using a BB curve 9380 OS 7.1
    Carrier - Vodafone.
    I have 84.8 MB free of Application Storage.
    I haven downloaded only Whatsapp and Screen Grabber.
    I recently downloaded BBM 8 and the the very next day l have problems with changing my display picture. I tried rebooting the phone quite a few times but it didn't help.
    So I downloaded BBM 7 hoping it would work normally. But I started facing the same problem again.
    Then I decided to download BBM 6.2. I lost all my bbm contacts and once I started re-adding people I wasn't receiving any updates.
    Then a friend suggested I do a security wipe of my phone. After which the phone worked normally but I still faced problems with BBM I would always get the message " Cannot Setup BBM - A temporary BBM server error has occurred".
    I have a back up of my BBM contacts which can only be restored on the BBM 7&8 versions
    I have also tried:
    Resending service books
    And also registering the device through Host Routing Table.
    Hope someone can help me with this

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    This KB exists:
    KB33652"Temporary Server Error" or "There is no BBM account associated with this email address" is displayed when attempting to move an existing BBM account to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone
    Unfortunately, it offers nothing useful...hence, I recommend you contact your mobile service provider for formal support and likely escalation up to BlackBerry for enhanced support.
    Good luck!

  • I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad.

    I cannot sync music from my iMac to my iPad. 
    I have tried rebooting my computer, rebooting and iPad, and nothing works. 
    I'm using an iMac that runs OS X 10.9.1, iTunes 11.1.4 and my iPad Air runs iOS 7.0.4.  Please help!

    I could not get music and videos from the computer to the iPad and vise versa although the computer apparently was backing up the iPad. After playing around with them a bit I finally got the two devices to share media again. i still get the message that the iPad and the computer cannot sync - now that i got them to start sharing again i'm not sure how them "not syncing" is going to affect me as yet.
    Thanks for the effort

  • Cannot receive emails on my IMAC

    I cannot receive Email on my IMac, when I try to connect the internetaccount to my gmail account, it is not possible

    sounds like your
    imap or pop3 or Exchange settings depending on your mail provider
    are setup wrong
    or that your firewall or wifi routers firewall are blocking the ports
    used by the mail recieving service

  • Cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will not send mail ?

    cannot setup e-mail on ipad2 accepts account but will place messages in out box and not send ?

    It could be that your ISP wants you to use a specific outgoing mail server. Check with your ISP. Sometimes they will only allow you to use their outgoing mail server when you're on their network and not your own. For example, if you use Optimum Online they may only let you use mail.optonline.com for outgoing so you couldn't use mail.yourdomain.com.
    They do this to cut down on people sending spam from their networks.

  • Cannot log into Messages Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite.

    Just upgraded to Yosemite. Cannot log into Messages because it is asking me for "talk.google.com Password". This references my gmail. The window will not accept either my Google password, or my Apple ID password.
    What's up?

    I have just checked the base of my iMac and the serial number is different to the serial number in About This Mac. Looks like a trip to the Apple Store is needed

  • TS4002 Cannot get  mail on my iMac after responding to move to iCloud.

    Cannot get  mail on my iMac after responding to move to iCloud. 
    Mail Accounts settings:  Incoming Mail Server=mail.me.com and is grey(cannot change), IMAP Path Prefix=blank, Port =143 but greyed out, Use SSL not checked

    You need SSL to be enabled: you chould check it and the port will probably change to 993. You should also check SSL in the SMTP server settings.
    That done you should be able to use the existing MobileMe settings. If you are still having trouble you could go through the setup procedure for the iCloud server settings detailed here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
