"Could Not Open the Communication Device"  ???

I use a dial up connection. Everytime I try to connect to the internet, after it dials a message box pops up that says "Could Not Open the Communication Device". Has anyone else had this problem? And how do I fix it?
Please help me.

I found this in Mac Help:
If you haven't entered your network settings, open Network preferences, choose your modem port (internal or external) from the Show pop-up menu, and enter the settings provided by your ISP, such as the access phone number, your user name, and your password.
You can also use the Network Setup Assistant to help you enter network settings. Click "Assist me" in the Network pane of System Preferences and follow the onscreen instructions.
Also verify that the number you are dialing is correct.
Try this too.
Some ISPs may require a PPP connection terminal script to connect to the Internet using a modem. If it is required, contact your ISP for the terminal script
To use a PPP connection terminal script follow these steps:
In the Finder, navigate to the Library folder on your startup disk.
If the Library folder does not contain a Terminal Scripts folder, you will need to create it. Choose File menu > New Folder, and name the new folder "Terminal Scripts."
Copy the terminal script file from your ISP to the Terminal Scripts folder.
To activate the terminal script, choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
Click Network and choose your modem port (internal or external) from the Show pop-up menu.
Select the PPP tab and click the PPP Options button.
Choose your connection script from the Terminal Script pop-up.
Click OK and then click Apply Now.
If the Terminal Script pop-up menu is dimmed, then the script is not being recognized. Check that the script is valid, and it is installed in the correct location.

  • Getting "Internet Connect Could not open the communication device"

    I am getting a pop up showing "Internet Connect - Could not open the communication device."
    Why is this? I have never got it before and after awhile my internet works just fine. I am trying to understand why it's popping up. The wireless networks I connect to are always working fine but my computer is just now giving me this pop up.
    Please help. Thank you.

    you could try moving either file one at a time, don't delete them though
    if moving the files and restarting does not fix the problem you can always put them back to the original location, it's just settings files
    possibly you'd need to setup your network prefernces again
    also, in System Preferences, click on Accounts pane, then your user name (you may need a password for that)
    on the right side of the Accounts window there is "Login Items" tab, see if anything shows up in login items
    as a guess, machine tries to connect by looking for your cell phone to use as a modem or something
    maybe check Network preference pane, see what shows up in Bluetooth

  • Supressing the "Could not open the communication device" message

    Hello,
    Lately whenever I connect to the internet, an Internet Connect window pops up with the message "Could not open the communication device." The connection, however, is fine, and I have no problems accessing the internet.
    I've been clicking "OK" to this message several times whenever I connect to the internet but it's become tedious and I'd like to supress it. Can anyone help me?
    20" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL to connect wirelessly.

    Check to see what is checked ON in Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, and drag the one used for Internet to the top of the list at least.
    I think there must be another one checked ON and above the one that actually connects... dunno for sure yet though.

  • Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding",

    Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

    If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier.  You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

    When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • HT201412 Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding- new ipad mini's (2 from separate places) are not working with At & T router but computers work. Can you please help me. I've tried everything. Thanks ya'll!

    Safari could not open the page on my new ipad mini's because the server stopped responding- new ipad mini's (2 from separate places) are not working with At & T router but computers work fine. Yesterday I got it to work. Weird. Can you please help me. I've tried everything. Thanks ya'll!

    Hello SavannahSweetie,
    I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
    Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
    Basic troubleshooting
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
    Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
    Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Unable To Use Internet/Safari Could Not Open The Page Because The Server Stopped Responding

    Hi
    I having a problem while opening safari on my iphone-4  the error message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"
    But i have checked router side, no problem found because router is working with other device laptops and other devices,
    if any one know the issue, please help me....

    I am having the same issue. Its says that the server has stopped running. THis has gone on for three days straight. First time it fixed it by powering down the unit, the next time it worked resetting the network settings. Now its happened again and these two options do not work either. What do I do or what could be wrong??

  • Fireworks CS4: could not open the file. Unknown file type

    Hello, this is the second file created with Fireworks CS4 that can't be opened. I'm using the same Fireworks installation that created the file. The file is a 1.2 MB file containing the pages of a draft for a new website.
    When I click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it, Fireworks tries to open it, but it can't. Instead, an alert pops up with this message: "Adobe Fireworks CS4 Could not open the file. Unknown file type"
    Working with Windows Vista Business, Adobe Web Premium CS4 suite
    I already tried opening the file, to no avail, with:
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and the same Fireworks version
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks CS3
    -another computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 and Fireworks MX 2004
    Please help.

    I tried to find a solution for you by using:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=error%20opening%20file&cat=su pport&product=fireworks
    but I couldn't find anything.  You may want to give it a go  :-)
    Can you open the file in another program, maybe an earlier version of FWs, or Photoshop or even Illustrator if you have it?
    Not sure if there's a configuration folder that needs to be renamed and when FWs restarts it re-writes the config file... that's something to has to be done with DW when 'funny stuff' happens.
    That's the best advice I have, I'm sorry  :-(

  • 8.3 causing issues with safari, "Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding"

    Since my upgrade to 8.3 there are several issues with many apps when they are trying to download information.
    When I go to Safari and open i.e. msn.com.  it tries for over 60 seconds.  then I get the error:
       Safari could not open the page because server stopped responding.
    I have a iPhone 6 plus with 113 gig  and 65 gig available
    This same issue is causing problems when downloading articles on facebook and instagram app.
    We also noticed this same issue on Macbook Air, and iMac, iPad 2, and iPhone 5s.
    I also have the Mac Pro without these issues but it is connected by ethernet instead of wireless. 
    Is wifried back and now plaguing all devices?
    I selected mac because, I was tried of all the PC issues with new updates.  It seems mac is now lowering its quality to that of PC.
    We need a fix for this ASAP!

    I have tried resetting my Iphone 6 Plus by holding both the off and select buttom.  This did not help. 

  • Ipad, Error message "Safari could not open the page"

    Hi... I am getting the error message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" 
    I have read the previous replies to this error message and have made sure the Ipad is connected to internet (skype works fine.)
    I have also done a hard reset on my Cisco router.
    I have Reset Ipad to factory settings twice.
    I have Reset network settings five times
    I have Powered off and on five times,
    turned wifi off and on countless times.
    Any idea other ideas? Ipad was bought in US 3 weeks ago.  Worked fine at hotel in mexico.  I am now in Bolivia.  Different countries screwing it up? Could my router be too old? My Mac and iphone work fine on it though, although they are also old and since my macbook refuses to update it runs on OSX 10.5.8
    Thanks, your help is immensely appreciated.

    Can you connect to the internet using other WiFi networks? Have you even tried outside of your own home WiFi network? Have you tried anything I here yet?
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Occasionally I get this message in Safari but I also can't get online with any browser when I get the message. What I always do - and it always works for me - is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I don't know if closing apps has any real effect or not. Most likely is it the system reset that brings it back to normal behavior.
    Due to the fact that you have restored to factory settings twice already, I can't believe that resetting the iPad would do any good at all. But you are getting nowhere anyway, so try it if you like.
    In order to close all of your apps, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When I try to use Safari on my i6 phone to connect to internet, it says "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."  However, my wi-fi is connected on the phone and computer.  What can I do to correct this?

    When trying to connect to internet, my i6 phone says "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."  However, our house's wi-fi is on. Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding error.

    This has only begun to happen after the ios5 upgrade.
    Steps to recreate the issue:
    In safari enter URL https://portal.keane.com
    Safari waits a while and returns the error "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding error."
    I see this behavior both on my iPhone and iPad after the iOS 5 upgrade.
    Try it with any browser in your Mac or PC and this does not happen.
    This didn't happen in the earlier versions of ios either, in either device.

    I just tried it from a pad on ios 5 and it worked.  It took a real long tome and i assumed it had tomed out, but it finally came up to a log in screen for keane something.  I note this is a secure server (https).  So it is not a safari problem. It may bebthat their secure server can only handle so many requests at one time?   Try again, and give it time.
