Connection to Thunderbird was refused.

On opening up Thunderbird noticed no emails for 2 days I'm told "Could not connect to mail server. Connection was refused." So cannot send/receive emails! Firefox is working o.k.

Thunderbird is software running on your computer and it does not connect to anything Thunderbird.
The error message is from your email providers server. Have you contacted them to see if they have issues?

  • Itunes store - network connection timed out / was refused!

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me? I am trying to connect to the itunes store but for some reason everytime i try i get a pop up message which either says -
    'itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection timed out' Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again'.
    This also happens when I disable my Norton. If Norton is not disabled then the same thing happens but i get the same message saying the connection was refused.
    This is very strange because i am using the new version of itunes 7 and i have been able to download music with no problems until this weekend!
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already removed and re-added itunes 7 into the list of trusted programs on Norton but this has not helped! I have turned the computer off and back on several times and this has not helped either. I have also tried to run the network diagnostics using itunes however when i try this an error occurs each time and itunes closes! I can connect to the internet.
    I have run out of ideas and am getting more frustrated! HELP!
    Thanks Jane x

    Has anybody come up with an answer for this? I just re-installed mine on a new computer. Clicked on the itunes store and got that message that says no internet connection. This is extremely irritating!!!!!!!

  • Network Connection Was Refused - PLEASE help me this time...

    To be perfectly honest, I'm quite irritated. I want answers. And if there is no answer, I want someone to tell me such. I've posted three times before, twice on someone else's topic, and once on my own. This is my last ditch effort. PLEASE help me. I really enjoy the use of your product, and I don't want to give up on it.
    Many people are having issues with their network connection. I know I'm not the only one. Some diagnostics say the connection to iTunes works, but for some reason still won't open the music store. In my case, it says it isn't.
    I went to my parents' house this holiday and stole their broadband high speed internet connection, hoping that the new connection might make iTunes work. Nope. So now I'm fresh out of ideas.
    Here is the information I posted on an earlier post below. PLEASE help me answer my question. I'm really missing my iTunes. It's been a long time since I've had it, and there are a bunch of songs I plan to download if I am able to get it back. Thank you so much!
    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, without realizing that there were so many problems with it. The installation went off without a hitch, and it was able to open up my library. However, whenever I try to access the music store, the message "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again" appeared. I tried redownloading it, but that didn't solve the problem. I got frustrated, and finally was able to download 7.01. That didn't work either. So I downloaded the older version that I used to have. The same error message appeared. NOW I'm mad, because I can't even get the older version back. I want my older version back... I never had a problem with your products before, but right now I'm slowly losing faith. PLEASE help me.
    I can't run a diagnostics on my network connection anymore, but I had posted my first diagnostics on the old post, referencing back to when I was still trying to fix the newest version. I'll post the diagnostics below the post.
    I have a wireless connection, since I live in an apartment complex right now. I didn't have the same connection type when I first downloaded iTunes a year or more ago, but I was able to work iTunes under this connection before I uploaded.
    Please help me. I want my music store back.

  • Error message - Network connection was refused!!!

    Every time I try to access iTunes music store I get this error:
    "iTunes could nopt connect to the Music Store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network conection is active, then try again."
    My network connections are fine, the firewall is ok, all other internet pages work ok. This just started hapenning when I downloaded the newest version 6.0.2.23.
    What is the deal here?
    Thanks!

    I got it to work.
    You have to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime and iPod updater.
    Then install iTunes 6.0.1 and download the standalone Qucktime. And then download then iPod updater. Then install Quicktime and the updater.

  • ITMS error "network connection was refused"

    Whenever I click the search button to the right of certain songs in my itunes library to send me to their page in the music store, I get an error pop up saying "Network Connection was refused". But I can still enter the music store using the main link in itunes. These songs also won't retrieve their Album art (especially the Comic relief tracks) when I select the option in the menu once they are in my library. This problem only seems to occur with a hand full of songs.
    Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
    Thanks

  • ITunes could not connect to iTunes Store.The network connection was refused

    I'm getting the following error message when I try to access the iTunes store: "iTunes could not connect to iTunes Store. The network connection was refused."
    I have tried to change my DNS settings. I've also run the msconig prompt. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions? Please help. It would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    i have been having this same problem. it also seems like a ton of folks are. i think apple has dropped a huge ball on this one. luckily ther are MANY other places now to purchase music other than itunes. i think their business will fail unless they get on top of issues like this.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Network Connection was refuse

    I'm getting this error which I'm sure that many people are familiar with. "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Network Connection was refused" It was working perfectly fine on 9.1 even with my Norton security on. I upgraded to 9.2 and all of a sudden getting this message. I tried:
    - Completely removing and reinstalling iTunes.
    - Tried the Terminal solution
    - Removed Norton suite
    - Checked proxy settings
    - Added application to firewall settings to allow incoming connections.
    - Ran disk Utility to repair permissions
    Still no luck. Any other suggestions that I could try to resolve this pain in a** issue?

    Also tried connecting via Ethernet. Still no luck.

  • Dbca xlib connection to "0.0" refused by server errror

    i am using oracle enterprise linux 5.4 in virtual machine and i am trying to create a new database using the DBCA
    but when i do this
    an error is returned
    XLib: connection to "0.0" refused b server
    XLib: no protocol specified
    exception in thread main
    how to rectify it??

    This is often an indication of doing things in the wrong order.
    Step 1: Log on to the computer that has an XWindows screen
    Step 2: Tell that screen to accept remote requests by issuing "xhost +"
    Step 3: Log on to the computer / user that is to use the XWindows
    Step 4: Tell that to display on the computer that is to be used for display using export DISPLAY=(host):display.screen
    Step 5: Run the program that needs a display
    Many people log in to root on the computer and then su to oracle to do the installs. While this is fundamentally a stupid thing to do, because using root unnecessarily increases potential security risks and is it NOT good practice and will it NOT be allowed in any self-respecting business, the following would be the sequence
    1) Log on to XWindows as root
    2) Open a terminal
    3) enter 'xhost +'
    4) enter 'su - oracle'
    5) enter 'export DISPLAY=:0.0'
    6) runInstaller (or use whatever installer is required)
    The most common mistake is running xhost after su. This will not work. The xhost must be issued by the first user - the one that owns the screen.

  • Connection to iCal server refused

    I have a mobileme account that works fine on my iPhone, but on my macbook everytime I open the application the exclamation point triangle appears next to the mobileme name and says the connection to the server cal.me.com was refused.
    Ever since apple upgraded the mobileme calendar on their website it doesn't seem to work properly. any suggestions.
    Also the Mobileme online calendar takes forever to load on the webpage or it never appears. its just the spinning icon indicating that it is loading.

  • Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

    I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S.  Something I have done many times before. 
    Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync.  I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
    Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

    This may help you
