Excel file cannot connect to server, offline copy

Good day,
I have a user in my company's portal (SharePoint 2007) that cannot upload changes made in excel file.
He needs to have the compatibility view active in IE in order to be able to open the documents.
If he does not have the compatibility view of IE for the application he gets an error saying that "cannot connect to the server".
With the compatibility view the user is able to open documents, but what happens is that the excel file connection to the server.
So changes to the excel file are not submitted to the server.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this issue?
Is there any other information i can provide that can help on this issue?
Thank you.

What is the OS version?
What is the Office version ?

Excel Analyzer cannot connect to server

All, I am having some problems connecting the Excel Analyzer to the server I'm retrieving information from. Here are the steps I do:
1. Connect to BI Publisher, open a Report.
2. Go to View and click on Excel Analyzer button.
3. Enable macros and wait for the report to open.
4. Go to Oracle BI Publisher Menu and click on Login.
At this point, Excel opens a message that says 'Error: Could not get server version: 504 - Gateway Time-Out'.
I have been able to connect successfuly through the Word Template Builder many times, but I somehow cannot connect through Excel. Is there a configuration or something I'm missing before being able to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

I-cloud is asking me to agree the new terms, when I go on to agree, it keeps saying 'cannot connect to server' !!! Since I have downloaded IOS7 I am now unable to access iCloud

Having just downloaded IOS7 on my iPad, I cannot now open I-cloud!!!! It keeps asking me to agree the new terms and conditions, when you go into Agee, it says..."cannot connect to server" I have tried to do this on two different wifi site and will not accept??? Can anyone help!

Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

Cannot Connect to Server OSX 10.8

Please be patient, I am new to server administration.
I had set up a Mac Mini (mid 2011) running lion and lion server as a home server for Time Capsule, file sharing, and itunes home sharing. Everything worked fine In April.
It seems a system update knocked the server off and I could not connect to it. (ARD or VNC). I checked forums and tried a bunch of things, but could not get it working. Hoped Mountain Lion would fix it, but it did not help.
Cannot connect to server through VNC or ARD. (Can connect from server to laptop, but not laptop to server). Cannot connect to server through Finder (afp://with ip address) or just connecting to shared file location on the Finder. All things I had been able to do.
Time Machine on my laptop cannot see the Time Capsule set on my server.
Currently running Mountain Lion with OSX Server 10.8. File sharing turned on in server settings and also in the sharing settings under my preferences. Remote management turned under sharing settings also.

So I verified the computer firewall was turned off. Then I turned off the server firewall settings through the command line, restarted the computer, and the server was available to control under ARD and VNC.
I am going to update my data files, then make a bootable copy.
Thank you for reminding me to doublecheck the firewall.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Excel file creation on application server

Gurus,
I have seen a lot of threads on excel file creation in application server, but failed to see if anyone had a solution.
Problem: In background execution I need to create an excel sheet on application server, the data would be contained in internal table, The FM like WS_DOWNLOAD etc..cannot support these as they have GUI component.
All the documentation that I have been through states to use dataset which saves the file in.csv or txt format seperated by delimiter, is it possible to save as a true excel file.
same as this thread:

Scan to Email Error Message "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
I've been using this printer for several months. Now am getting an ERROR message when I try to scan to email that it "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"
I'm not sure how to check this. We can all still print remotely via the internet connection.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the info.,
Did you recently change your operating system or network router that started to cause this error?

Photoshop Touch: Cannot connect to server

I have Photoshop Touch (version 1.7.5) installed on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (with the latest firmware). When I try to open files from my Creative Cloud, I get an error message that says: "Lost connection. Cannot connect to server". It's strange because I can see my folders, and the error message appears just after I click one of my folders to view it's containg files. I have tried to log off / log on and reboot the device, but it doesn't help. I can access my cloud files from a PC and I am sure the user name and password are correct. Does anyone know a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!:)

Sometimes the sign-in process goes kablooey for whatever reason. It can usually be remedied by tapping the options icon (the cogwheel out in the project selection user interface; upper right) > My Account. Sign in that way and you should be able to get everything going again. I just did it on my Google Nexus 7 2013 with no problems.

Hi Experts,
I am using importMangerBatch version 5.5 <b>SP4</b>. that could be the reason I could not connect to server..as I am working on MDM 5.5 SP5.
I searched on market place for SP5 version of ImportManagerBatch.But I could only find installable for SP4..
Do you have any idea where can I find SP5 version for the same if at all it is available?
your opinions suggestions are welcome !!
Thanks

Can't connect to vista pc anymore/ cannot connect to server because

I'm getting an error saying it cannot connect to server because username or password is not correct. Everything was fine on my old belkin router but i've had this issue since changing over to the new airpotr extreme.
My windows vista pc has sharing on (for the folders i need) I even shut my firewall down etc but the pc still doesn't show up in my networks. I tried my laptop and that worked no problem but its a power book not windows.
any suggestions out there? thanks

Hello,
Try this:
1. Make sure you have installed the AirPort software on your Vista PC
2. Reboot the PC
3. On the AEBS(n), under Disks --> File Sharing, set Guest Access: Read and Write
4, On Vista PC, select "Guest Access" in the AirPort Utility
5. AirPort Disk should show up in "My Computer" as z/AirPortDiskName
At least that's how mine is et up, and it works fine for Vista.

PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

Hello Guys,
we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
Scenario:
- the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
- WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
Problem:
Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
"Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
In the Details from the Error Message:
"<hostname>.<domain>:53404 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:
Cannot open connection to host: <IP-Adress of Central Instance> and Port: 53404"
The Customer says, the Firewall is open with the IP Adresses and P4 Port but i dont think so...
Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
Sorry for my bad English
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented. There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
(This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
Best regards
Christian

MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
Many websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
Multiple PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by, but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?

Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of?

I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this?

Hi, I recently updated to iOS 8.0 on my Ipad mini however when i try to agree to the new terms and conditions i get an error message saying either 'Cannot connect to server' or 'Your session has timed out please try again' what can be done to resolve this problem? Also i cannot download anything from the App store as a result of this.

Can you check the Object Security for the Analysis Menu and Export button and see if it is restricted?
Also, is this a Oracle DB? IF so, has the following 32 bit Oracle Client components been isntalled:
Oracle Objects for OLE
Oracle Data Provider for .NET
Oracle Providers for ASP.NET

Error message "cannot connect to server"

Often I get an error message "cannot connect to server" when
I want to connect to acrobat.com directly from a .pdf document in
order to upload it . Is it possible that there is some security
issue involved, e.g. that the document is protected somehow? Or
could browser or firewall settings be involved?

Hi Peterernst,
Thanks for posting.
Perhaps yes, firewall, and browser popup blockers have been
known to cause some behavioral, and connectivity issues within
Acrobat.com
Users have had success with allowing *.acrobat.com as a
trusted site locally, to see if that allows connectivity.
Also what browser, and OS are you using?
If still in the Unix environment, do you have access to a
Windows, or Mac environment?
Thanks!
Pete
