"Connection reset" when trying to access Apple Discussion Forums

I am unable to log onto the discussion forums from my iBook since changing my ISP to a satellite Broadband service (Bordernet) in Australia. When I attempt to do so I get a message in my browser "The Connection was reset while page was loading."
I can access the site without problems from a PC on the same LAN without any difficulties - hence my ability to post this message.
Have also had some intermittent diffiulty in sending emails with (small) attachments (250-400k).
The ISP help desk suggested I reset the timeout in the Outlook Email program on the Windows machine to maximum. Did that, no change with the iBook.
Doesn't seem to be a issue of the Apple.com servers being overloaded, as I can fail to manage a log on with the iBook and easily do so with the Windows machine within seconds of switching machines.
I've also checked that passwords and logon name are the same on both machines.
Have tried connecting the satellite modem directly to the iBook as well as through the router (a D-Link 704-P) and the speeds are consistent -- so close to the same that they virtually identical.
Don't have any firewalls set on the iBook or through the router software, only on the Windows machine, and it is the one that works!
Have set up the proxies and port settings suggested by the ISP (10.16.143.73:9877) which result in a general speed increase earlier on, but did not solve this problem.
The people at the ISP haven't come up with an answer yet.
Is there a way to set the timeout on an ibook? (Altough I suspect that this is a red herring as I'm not so sure that settings in an email program will effect other internet settings as well...
Could there be other settings on the iBook that may be slowing things up enough to make this happen?
Any ideas?

I'm going to assume you meant... "NsurlerrorDomain: -1005".
Is it a Linksys Modem?
By the way... NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost
Returned when a client or server connection is severed in the middle of an in-progress load.
Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.
Sooo, while it may be something as weird as Satellite alignment/interference, I've read that trashing the whole Users/nnn/Preferences Folder fixid it, but maybe installing Applejack...
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
Once installed, reboot, hold down the CMD+s keys, when the prompt shows, type in "applejack auto", (without the quotes), and let it run all 5 things in the series... thinking maybe a .cache is being held over from your previous setup!?
Anyway, once you really need Applejack, you can't install it or download it! :_)
Waiting to see if we get anywhere with this tact.
Oh yeah, that plist will be regenerated on a restart.

'UNABLE TO CONNECT' message when trying to access wifi

My 16gb iphone 3G has lost its capability to connect to wifi since upgrading to latest software. It will see available connections but when i try to connect it says 'unable to connect'
Tried various methods like resetting internet connection etc. Just wont connect.
Any ideas or solutions before i visit the genius bar next week?
Will apple replace a 20 month old phone for free?

I have a 32gb iPhone 4 with version 4.2.1 with a similar issue. However, my problem popped up out of the blue. Yesterday it connected to my home wi-fi with no problem, but today, it gives me the "Unable to join the network" message.
I'm certain it's not an issue with the network because I'm connected to the same network on my laptop right now. (As is every other wireless device in our home.)

HT4157 I get "Connection Failed " when trying to access the Account.

I cannot establish a connection when attempting to add a data account with ATT. I received the following message: "Connection Failed - The connection to the server was lost. Please try again later."
I've been trying all day! Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Unshare your home folder and then you can connect. Apparently Lion shares your home folder by default.
Worked for me.

"Connection Failed" when trying to access TC that I have already connect to

Hello,
I have been connecting to my office network for well over a month now with no problems. Now, no matter what I do, i can not connect to the Time Capsule that provides the WiFi for the office.
The Office Network appears in the Airport drop-down list and I can select it to connect to it. However, even though I enter the password in correctly, it continually says "connection failed."
The other computers (all Macs) can connect/stay connected just fine. I have tried restarting both my computer and the entire office network several times to no avail. I have updated all software on my computer. I have removed the network from my list of preferred networks, tried to connect to it again, and I have manually "Join Other Network" all to no avail.
The same thing happened about 2 weeks ago. Just randomly, after about 3 hours of no connection, it allowed me to connect again. I can connect just fine to any other Wireless Network--Starbucks, my home Aiport Express, Apple Stores, etc... I am limited in what I can do to the Time Capsule, seeing as how it is the Office's and I am not authorized to get onto Airport Utility/change settings on the TC.
I am at my wits' end with this one.
My computer:
1.83GHz Macbook Pro
1GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.3.1
The Wireless Setup:
Comcast cable modem, connected to 1TB Time Capsule with latest firmware/software updates.
Thank you for any suggestions.

I am having the same problem starting today since my trusty ol' PowerMac froze up on me. I've repaired permissions and the disk.
Other devices on the network work fine with the same password, but my main machine won't connect!

Why do I get an "untrusted connection" message when trying to access Google?

This seems to happen a few times a week. Usually, I'm trying to do a search, and then no Google sites will work - mail, maps, whatever. I have a Mac, my time zone is correct, and I never add an exception because I don't understand why Google of all sites would have a faulty certificate, and it usually begins working again after several minutes. Usually, the problem is that the certificate belongs to another site. Today, it said the security certificate belonged to Adver.tv or something similar. What is going on? This almost never happens with other sites - just Google. The one exception I can recall occurred when I was attempting to file my taxes online using TaxAct, which seemed even more suspicious.

That sounds very suspicious!
Could you investigate your '''extensions''' and disable or remove ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that make any difference? Perhaps it will take time to know.
Also, please check your '''connection settings'''. Open the Preferences dialog to the Advanced panel here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
On Windows, this defaults to "Use system proxy settings" -- I don't know what is normal on a Mac, but it may be similar to Windows. You also could try "No proxy" and see whether that makes any difference.

Connection timeout when trying to access network. just stopped working all of the sudden. any ideas before i buy a new airport?

I've already rebooted and created a new network. No change. I was able to once get the network to connect and it took forever for a page to load. I'm thinking the base station is bad. It's 3.5 years old. The station still accepts internet connection and will route (hard wire) to my computer, but no wifi output. Checked my computer's airport with another network and was fine.

1)access the router web ui
2)go to the Mac Address Clone subtab , enable it and click "Clone" . Save the settings
3)do a power cycle
4)check whether the router gets an internet ip add now ..

TX resets when trying to access documents

My Palm TX resets whenever I try to access Documents. I was having other problems so I returned and exchanged the Palm for a new one.
Problem is this happens on the new one. I removed the one document I had installed, thinking maybe I had some sort of virus/flaw in it. Nothing changed, it still resets.
Any ideas? Obviously it's not a hardware problem since this one does the same thing.
tracy
Post relates to: Palm TX

Sounds like you did not precisely follow the upgrade directions that require renaming the Backup folder on your computer before installing the new Desktop/Hotsync and syncing. You will aso have to install the Documents to Go Desktop that is compatible with the version on your TX.
Hard Reset your TX and follow these directions.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

It could be that there's a new source of interference.
Use the advice in the second message of this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each client sees:

By the way, you've been misled by the poor field labeling into trying to type your entire message into the subject field, instead of putting a one-line topic description there.

I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access an so site such as amazon, when I can still access other areas of Internet such as banking

Why do I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access amazon yet am very obviously am still connected as can access the apple site or banking sites. Have tried resetting.

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

When trying to access i tunes store when in I Tunes i cannot connect to the internet - any thoughts? i have tried un-installing and re-installing but no joy

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Connection reset when accessing HTTPS through proxy

Since upgrading to firefox 27 when trying to access https://www.birtles.org.uk I receive a connection reset or connection interrupted error. I am connecting through a proxy. Firefox 26 works correctly.
I have tried on 3 different machines 2 windows and one Mac with the same results.

Same issue and resolution for me when I try to access https://mail.ntlworld.com. I'm also connecting through a proxy, have tried both of them available to me. It works fine using other browsers, just firefox causing issues.
Also on an unrelated note, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/register keeps redirecting to the login page. Tried on multiple browsers, in the end had to use mobile to create an account.
