Connection Failed Box

Since I installed TC/TM my laptop displays a
*Connection Failed*, +The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Click the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.+
box on initial startup. But it is connected. What is it looking for? How do I get it to stop showing this bogus message.

in my case the server it says it cannot connect to is the main computer in the network, not an external HDD or anything, but I am able to access all shared content on the server it says it cannot connect to.  I don't get it.

  • 'Connection failed' dialogue box

    Using my MacBook (10.5.6) on my home Apple Extreme network I'm getting a persistent 'Connection failed' dialogue box.
    I can connect to the network and other Mac's on the same network without any problem, yet this persistent little box keeps popping up with its message: 'Connection failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again'
    I'd be grateful for some pointers as to why this may be happening. Is there anyway to disable it?
    Many thanks

    Hi All,
    I also had the same problem here... driving me nuts trying to fix it. I also had my connection to my Time Capsule drop, reconnect, only to drop again in the same session. The combination resulted in over 8 minutes to fully boot up my MBP with an questionable airport connection. Looking at another issue, I may have found a fix (at least it cleared up my problems). Looking at "Macbook sporadically fails to connect to Time Capsule" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9239652&#9239652), I tried a fix posted by Joel H --
    +++++++++++++++++++
    "Open airport utility, click your time capsule, click 'continue'. On every page you can either accept current settings or change them. You want to change the one that has a 'device' password to a 'disk' password."
    +++++++++++++++++++
    I tried this, after I had deleted my Keychain Airport prefs and rebooted, entering in my Airport Time Capsule password again (my TC was already set to 'disk' password). Wahlah, it worked solving both problems!!!! I still get an "Unable to mount G-Drive" error (I use my G-Drive to backup my TC via USB) when I don't have my G-Drive connected to my TC and powered up but the boot time is now less than a minute. Apple still needs to address this problem. We, Apple users, shouldn't have to scour the entire discussions site to find a fix.

  • JDBC Adapter - Established database connection failed

    Hi Guys,
    we have installed the JDBC Adapter based on the How To Guide and we checked after the installation the  Libaries :Cluster --> Server --> Libraries --> com.sap.aii.af.jmsproviderlib and the box Box "JARs Contained" was filled.
    So in my point of view we have done everything right during the installation.
    Now the developer tested theJDBC Adapter and he comes back with following Error:
    Attempt to establish database connection failed with SQL error com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagementException: Cannot establish connection to URL "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://xxx.x.xx.xxx:1433; databaseName=CZZ03;":ClassNot FoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Do you have any ideas?

    Hi Guys,
    Thank you both for your responses, my findings are as follows:
    1. HOST=X.X.COM, ensure host is reachable : PING works and host(s) are reachable.
    2. In RAC Env, ensure TNS Name is correctly spelled, spelling fine, i can connect with the tns name (is TNS name same as SERVICE_NAME?) by: sqlplus 'user/user@racenv'; but my efforts still will not allow me to use:
    sqlplus 'user/user' it tells me that the host or object is does not exist, does this refer to the actual physical machine or the service name, or the instance name?
    All host entries in my tnsnames.ora file refer to the vip addresses of both servers holding the rac installation, and both are resolved just fine, testing with ping; any other way to test this?
    tnsnames file contains CONNECTION strings in the following order (does the listener entry need to be in the file? on the machine that i am trying to connect from?):
    LISTENER_ORCLTELE =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.3.9)(PORT = 1521))
    ORCLTELE =

  • OS X 10.8.4 wifi says "connection failed", but connects anyway; cannot save password

    I am using OS X 10.8.4 that came with my MBP. When I connect to my home wifi that requires a WPA 2 password, it says "Connection Failed", but anyway connects to the internet. Also, my password is not being saved, and I need to enter it everytime.
    After reading several forums, I have already tried the following:
    1. removing airport preference list from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Removing network password from the keychain
    3. Using Keychain first aid
    4. Using disk utility and doing repair disk.
    5. Doing DHCP release in Network Preferences.
    6. Removing my network from the preferred network list and connecting again.
    I am using a D-link modem. It should not be a problem, because the same MBP could remember the password before. The problem happened when I tried to fix my wifi because it would take long to connect after waking from sleep, when I deleted the airport preferences list, and removed the keyring.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • N8 Belle connection failed- access denied. NO INTE...

    After the Belle update I have a problem with my internet connections. Both WiFi and mobile internet are not working at all. At first it was ok but after a while or a reboot of the device I simply cannot connect to any wifi wether it's a known one or an open one. I always get an box message on the top of the screen that says 
    "Connection failed
    Access denied"
    There's nothing I can do about it! I tried reinstalling Belle and it was ok at first but shortly the problem occurred. So I have a phone with NO INTERNET CONNECTION at all!!! It's almost useless.
    I would like a nokia support response please. This is a huge problem! 
    Solved!

    Hi Torben
    Thank you for contacting Nokia Care customer support.
    Since we wrote last I have got a lot more experience with the Belles situation in this area.
    Recently suspicion fell on a bug in old saved data from the "Anna" that causes general network error.
    To solve it, there must be a backup - but NOT the programs / settings, since they bear the error.
    Subsequently, disconnect the phone from, select the Offline profile (Press and hold the cards on the off button and choose the one on this list)
    "Ring" now * # 7370 # accept and enter the security code is 12345, if it asks for it.
    Your security code if you have change it.
    Set Time & Date and reviewing start-up menus.
    Get immediately sent to the settings for data and multimedia.
    Restart your phone and try now about the Internet is working properly.
    Do they do it; you can safely restore contacts and whatever else you have in your backup.
    I would personally appreciate it if you want to participate in a brief survey that will be about my response to you. Customer survey will receive a separate e-mail.
    If there is anything I can do for you, then you're obviously more than welcome to contact me again.

  • Persistent connection failed messages

    I have a mac book with the Mac OS 10.6.3 on it. I take the laptop between home and work every day. At work in the past I have connected to a windows share, which works fine. However, now whenever I go home I get persistent messages saying:
    Connection failed
    The server may not exist or it is not operational at
    this time. Check the server name or IP address and
    try again.
    The dialog box has an Ok button, which I press, but the dialog keeps coming back. After pressing numerous times it seems to disappear. I have noticed that at work the mount keeps automatically mounting regularly throughout the day. I have no idea why. I have tried removing it from my finder connect to server recent servers list. I have tried using lsof to find if there are any application using the share, and it doesn't look like there are.
    Why is this share re-mounting itself automatically, and how do I stop it?

    It turned out to be related to Acrobat Reader. At work we use Acrobat for doing reviews. I had previously reviewed a document on a shared drive. Acrobat had something called Adobe Synchronizer running in my login items, and this seemed to continually try and reconnect to the shared drive. Once I removed that the problem went away.

  • "Connection Failed" un-movable layer on System Setting screen

    Hi, I got a new BBQ5 yesterday and tried to explore the BB10 OS. I was initially able to set up my wifi connection successfully and was exploring the new OS. All of sudden due to power failure , the wifi device stopped working. Then i noticed while doing wifi setting - It tried connecting to wifi (attemp 1/3) and so on and it had then shown up a from "Connection Failed" with NO BUTTONS (or any information). Eversince then i tried to close the dialog box layer but was in vain.Every time i tried to open setting - it came with the dialog box with no further instuction. This scenario is quite reproducible. and finally i restarted the device and then the dialog box went away. So here is the problem statement - If with / without wifi signals user try to connect wifi (after few try) and un-movable "Connection Failed (with NO Buttons/Instructions) means a blank dialog box with header as Connection failed on setting screen. - Only restarting the device is the only solution to that. Thanks for your patience! regards, Paresh Padhi

    Hey pareshpadhi,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Can you provide the version of BlackBerry 10 software you're running?  Go to Settings>About to find this information.  I will investigate this further.
    Also when you restart the BlackBerry Q5 and leave a Wi-Fi network does the same issue happen?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Small problem of connection fails

    Since I installed my extreme base station I quite often get a 'connection failed' to other computers on my network.
    Even though it says connection failed I am still able to share the screen of the other computer. The only way to fix it is to re-enter my admin password for the computer I am trying to connect to.
    Although this is not a major issue it is still a pain. I am telling it to save in keychain and prior to the extreme just using my router it was fine.
    Is there any settings I can put anywhere to stop this behaviour?

    Look for the button that says "Connect As" and enter your password. Click the check box to Remember.

  • Spreadsheet Add-in connect dialog box do not appear after clean EPM-install

    Smartview seems to function properly.
    My impression from the documentation is that an installation of spreadsheet add-in does not require any post configuration, but maybe I am misstaken.
    So what needs to be done for spreadsheet add-in to show connect dialog box?
    Grant some kind of access in shared services?
    Change some environment variable?
    etc etc.

  • Why does the Apple ID sign in window say connection failed when I try to sign in?

    I bought a Macbook Pro from a friend but I need to clear it and set up everything. I am trying to download the new OS software. However when I try to sign in to download the new software "Connection failed" pops up in little red letters. Why is this happening? My apple ID is correct and verified. I have no clue what to do. Help!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

    When trying to connect across home network to MacBook from a MacBook Pro when I try to sign in as Guest I get a Connection Failed error - There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them... error. If I connect as a Registered User everything goes fine.
    I can connect find as a Guest the other direction from the MacBook to the MBP; Guest account sharing is enabled on both computers; there are shared directories on both computers; there is no firewall enabled. Ideas....?

    I have this exact same problem with 2 MacBook Pro's both running 10.6.5
    I've double checked that the settings are identical on both machines, yet only one of the them can connect to the other using the Guest account. When the Guest account doesn't work and I use the registered user of the other machine, it connects fine. I just would like to be able to use the simple Drop Box function.

  • Connection Failed Error On Startup

    For months, I keep getting the following message on startup:
    [Connection failed
    The server "Eddie_MacPro" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.] It has an OK button and a network disk icon on the box.
    "Eddie_MacPro" is what this Mac was formerly named, now it is "Eddie_Edit3". So that server doesn't even exist. This error has existed both in OS 10.5 and since I upgraded to Snow Leopard this week. I've checked the StartUp folders and the sys prefs and I can't find where it's trying to connect to and why.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I've been looking for a solution for this exact same problem for some time. It appears that it is searching for the server that I have accessed before. Even though that machine is no longer in use, is there a way to erase what appears to have stayed in memory or a log file? Have you found a solution to the problem yet?

  • Java.io.IOExcetion :open HTTP Connection Failed

    Hi Everybody,
    I'm getting the java.io.IOExcetion :open HTTP Connection Failed error when I'm trying run a html page with an embedded Applet in it.
    We are having a proxy server and all our network traffic have to be done through proxy.
    But in Browser we give exemption to local host.
    When I run the html file outside JDeveloper keeping it in the same directory in which the Applets class file is : I'm getting the Applet running.
    But If I run the html page From JDeveloper , I'm getting the above said error.
    My JRE is configured to use Browser settings and the browser is set to use the proxy.
    Why are applets not able to connnect to the sever?
    How to make Jdeveloper connect to proxy?
    Thanking you for the answer?
