Getting error when trying to launch a game through game center

I am trying to launch Pinball HD from Game Center but always get connection errors. For instance, I receives the error "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server". I am also getting "a server with the specified hostname could not be found"
I am connecting through Wi-Fi. Any particular setting I need to specify in my router?

Wow. Did not expect an answer so fast! Unfortunately for me, the progress indicator keeps spinning for a long time before it comes back with an error. My internet connection is working. Is there a way to know what server it tries to connect to. I could probably run some tracing tools from there.

HT1338 i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes. There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only. They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel. Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine. Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well. The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box. All using the same hardware. but one at a time. I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to. (Which I don't) I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact. How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine?

When trying to launch iTunes it freezes and I get the message: "Authentication Required. To access this site you need to log in to area "100656 on mellor.co. Your password will be sent in the clear." I am unable to enter a uname or password. Please help!!

When trying to launch iTunes on my PC running Windows 7 it freezes and I get the message: "Authentication Required. To access this site you need to log in to area "100656 on mellor.co. Your password will be sent in the clear." Because iTunes is frizen at this point I am unable to enter a username or password, or in fact do anything. Please help!! I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes numerous times as well as attempting all of the fixes that I could find on-line and still no joy.

That sounds extremely phishy to me... iTunes does not require authentication simply to launch it. I suspect you've got something nasty intercepting network traffic. That server may be set up to log the Apple ID that you enter so it can be used fraudulently. Try ComboFix from Bleeping Computer.
FWIW the domain mellor.co is registered to an accountants in Knutsford, Cheshire, UK, and produces the same authentication request if visited with a browser. There is no sign of a "real" publicly visible website at that domain which is a somewhat odd.

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won't launch apps. When asked say "launch Facebook" Siri responds with "it doesn't look like you have an app named Facebook" and I get the same results when trying to launch any

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

When trying to launch facetime on mac, a message drops down that says "unable to verify email because it is already in use by another Apple ID". The mac tech things it's an itunes problem. Anybody?

You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link. Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

When trying to launch ITunes I get an error message saying that application fail to start because MSVCR80.dll file not found. Reinstalling app may fix problem.

When trying to launch ITunes I get an error message saying that application fail to start because MSVCR80.dll file not found. Reinstalling app may fix problem.

I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376 it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time!
Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot again!
Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
Reboot!
Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

Get message firefox already running but not responding when trying to launch..tells me to close firefox wondow and try again (no ffox window is open)

When trying to launch Firefox I get the following message.
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
This is not the first time and I am tired of having to restart my computer. BTW I have Firefox as my default browser, but had to use IE to get to this support site!
In answer to the next question...every time I TRY to open Firefox.

Simple fix for you I think--it works for me.
1. Open your TASK MANAGER (rt click on your taskbar)
2. Go to PROCESSES
3. Scroll down until you see "firefox.exe"(or anything with the word Firefox in it)
4. Click(highlight) the "firefox.exe"
5. At the bottom right side,click "End Process"
6. Close the Task Manager and do whatever you were attempting to do.

When trying to launch a Java preferences get this message: Cannot launch Java application A static initializer of the main class threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"

I have an IMac 10.5.8 and I am having problems with Java. I have tried todownload Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 and it looks as if it is doingsuccessfully, but I cannot see where it has put it and get this message when trying to launch Java preferences:
Cannotlaunch Java application
A static initializer of the main class threw an exception:java.lang.NullPointerException"
Couldyou please help?

Hmm, only way I know would be a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

Hi 99jon,
Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
Ref Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
Ref Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
Ref Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
Ref Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
Ref Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
Ref Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
Not sure what else to do.

Why do I get the 'PowerPC code' error when trying to launch an Intel-based app from a CD?

When trying to launch a Flash-based app from a CD on my Mac Book Pro, I get the "PowerPC apps are no longer supported" error. Yet the app is not built with PowerPC code.
This also happened with Microsoft Office programs soon after I upgraded to OSX Lion, but someone was able to solve that for me.

It's just a free disc from a photo magazine, but the app runs fine on a Mac Pro running 10.7.3. Could it be hardware related?
I have actually asked this on behalf of a reader (I work for the company that makes the magazine) who is experiencing this problem, I just can't find any reason why the error would display in these circumstances. I apologise if this is against the community's usual practise - I just want to sort this guy out!
The app on the disc is compiled using MDM Zinc, but like I said it runs a-OK on Lion everywhere else.
Any help would be gratefully received and appreciated!

Can you help me overcome error (-50) when trying to sync the game "Phase"?

My son purchased the game "Phase" from itunes for his 80 GB 5th gen Ipod. When trying to sync the game to it, we get the following error:
Itunes could not sync the game "Phase" to the ipod because and error ocurred (-50).
Can you offer advise how to be able to sync the game to the ipod?

I first tried to restore the ipod and then re-sync, however, I got the same error.
I then followed the instructions to create the appleipod.bat file method, then restore the ipod and then tried to re-sync and received the same (-50) error when trying to sync the game my son purchased. The only thing out of the ordinary from the istructions is that when I ran the appleipod.bat file, the black screen only came on for a brief second rather than a minute.
Can you advise what else I can do so that he can get the game he purchased?
Is there something wrong with his ipod?

You need to verify the backups.. hold the options key whilst clicking the TM icon in the top menu area. Choose verify..
Look on the right for more like this.. it is a fairly standard error.
