Error while trying to connect to network

My powerbook will be 3 years old in about 2 weeks and it is now having problems connecting to wireless networks. It connects fine to the network at my parent's house, and they have a dsl router from verizon. However, a little while back, I noticed that I could no longer connect to the wireless network in my apartment, which has the same type of dsl router (also verizon). I keep getting an message saying there was an error trying to connect to the network. I can still get on to the internet at the apartment if I connect via ethernet but I can no longer connect wirelessly. My brother has just recently experienced the same problem and he has an ibook. He can connect at our house, but cannot connect wirelessly in my apartment.
Yesterday, though I was at my new apartment trying to connect to the wireless network the neighbor set up. It's some router with comcast. I was getting the same error message about being unable to connect and yet all my other roommates can connect fine wirelessly. All of them use PCs, and I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with my airport or anything else that could be wrong with my computer. All the networks are WEP password protected and I'm using the correct password, the computer just will not connect.
Is there something wrong with my computer or is there some information I may be missing from the router? I just don't understand why I can connect to some networks and not others.
  Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

I think you just have to keep trying the reset routines. Leaving the device turned off for a spell may be helpful.

    Hello,
    this issue is related with database connection. Please, create the database connection again (with dbconfig.cmd), restart your app server and try to log into P6 again.
    Check that your port number, instance (or database name) , users are correct.

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

    Disable proxy settings in JDeveloper (Tools -->Preferences --> Web Browser and Proxy).
    Then, re-start JDeveloper IDE and re-test your application server Connection,it should work fine.

    Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
    Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to iCloud, message pops up stating that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". How do I sign in to iCloud now?

    Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
    When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
    When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
    Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
    I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

  • Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server

    Hi iCloud users
    For the first time I have experienced errors while attempting to connect to iCloud via my PC.  Never had any problems previously.
    The first error I received was:
         "Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
    After a few attempts I was able to connect to iCloud.  However I was unable to access my Calendar and Contacts.  I received the following error messages:
         "Can't load Calendar - There was a problem loading the application"
         "Can't load Contacts - There was a problem loading the application"
    Has anyone out there experienced this?  If so could you offer an solutions/suggestions?  Is iCloud not working properly today?
    Many thanks & cheers,
    Sue

    I am unable to connect to icloud from my windows-based laptop and get the following error message: "icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    I would remove the email account from mail and then set it up again.
    If your are able to long I via owa though without the auto fill, then we already know the user name and password are correct.
    Let me know if that works.
