Go - Connect to Server does NOT work - The text entered does not appear to

Two Macs with Mac OS X 10.5.2. Both migrated from Mac OS X 10.4.11. One Mactel and one PowerPC. I can see the former from the latter, but not the latter from the former:
Go/Connect to Server
gives this error all the time for all listed servers:
The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format
This does not help:
Mac OS X 10.5: "The text entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format" alert when connecting to server
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307256
Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
I'd do it on all of them.
Then we can go on from there if you still have a problem, but with several queastions eliminated!

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:

    That S/N does work.  I double checked.

    i have a new ipod (80GB)and i cannot delete anything from itunes. when i highlight and try delete/backspace nothing happens. when i right click on an item the menu that opens does not include a clear or delete option.
    please help?!?!?!?!/
    i went through all the possible options in the other forum
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5481041#5481041
    and i got 8 or 9 replies - without any success.
    i have the latest itunes version and have it reinstalled again and again.
    the otions i get when highlight and right click on a song in the music section in itunes are:
    get info
    rating
    shoe in windows explorer
    reset play count
    reset skip count
    convert selection for ipod
    convert selection for apple tv
    uncheck selection
    mark as not new
    add to playlist
    show in playlist
    copy
    get album artwork
    apply sort field
    so there is no clear nor delete!
    how on earth can i get my list smaller????
    i am starting to think about all those lovely windows mp3 players.
    cheers - udo

    no idea what happened here but for a moment i was actually able to delete songs from my playlist which caused me to loose a few songs. i then closed everything off and restarted and now it appears to work. the strange thing is i haven't changed a thing. however i will closely monitor this and if it stays like this i have no further reason to get my fingers in a twist. as i said a mystery to me, anyhow thanks to all who were involved trying to help.
    cheers -udo

  • My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

    My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
    Please can you help with this.
    It has only just happened in the last few days.
    Many thanks

    You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
    For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
    (Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

  • I keep getting an error message there was a problem connecting to server.  URLs with the type "file" are not supported

    I keep getting an error messahe that says

    Any ideas?

    Actually, in my case, turning off Time Machine didn't work. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even, gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.

  • Skimming not working, the red line will not follow my mouse anymore, why?

    Hi Dani, After speaking with a sales representative I have been advised that there are no available ports at my address. I was mostly sure this would be the situation, and this only adds to the frustration of our family. Just because we live in an area considered 'rural' we are treated with terrible access to any kind of fixed line internet connection at all. Is there any way for our family to recieve any kind of compensation for the fact that we cannot be supplied with the same quality and quantity of internet that most other people within a 50km radius of our house, can get? I do not understand why we have to deal with the comparatively tiny data amounts of the mobile broadband modems, and cannot even get a matched data quantity, seeing as we pay much more than the regular household to achieve not even a quarter of the data provided by one of the smallest residential ADSL bundles. I understand that these modems are intended for mobile use and this is why they are priced up, but the modems never leave our address which I'm sure some Telstra employee with access to IP tracking programs can clarify, they are soley for our home internet, and our family is grealty inconvinienced by the lack of ports to our area.  Is there any way that we can request a port increase for our exchange, or any similar avenue to even slightly shorten the time our family has to wait for internet so that they can keep up with colleagues and peers in terms of schooling and work? As our location is not on NBN's 3 year plan, which gives us at least 3 more years until we can access high       data-limit broadband services, and by then who knows how much more technologically integrated our society will become. Any information as to who we can talk with to try and achieve any kind of comparitvely capable internet services would be greatly appreciated, as would any information about the status of increasing port availability.

  • I have a macbook Pro7.1 intel core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz with 2 lots of RAM 2Gb each. i want to updrade the Rams and been trying lots of types and sizes but still not working. the laptop is either not starting any more or freezing when the OS launches.

    Please HELP!!!
    the Rams that are being used now since i got this mac are screens attached.
    what should i buy in order to upgrade the memory, and whats the limit of RAMs that i can have on this laptop?
    please be certain of the answer coz where i work i dont have a store, i need to buy online and shipp .
    thank you in advance.

    I missed that! I blame it on not having had my coffee this morning!
    To rams2211,
    Crucial certainly makes great RAM - it's what I use in my machine - and you should visit their website. Just to let you know, though, Crucial ships all over the world and have both UK and EU sites, if that helps.
    Your specific model can hold up to 16GB of 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs, even though the 'official' Apple spec is for 8 GB. Something to do with a long-ago firmware update.
    You may also want to visit OWC - their prices are high but they make excellent RAM as well.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How to Read the text enetered in Notes Tab of Invoice Doc. ( FB60, MIRO  )

    Hi All,
    We are trying to read the Text Entered in Notes Tab of Invoice Doc using the tcode FB60, MIRO..
    We are able to see the text when we use these tcode but can you please help us how to read these deatils in a program..
    We wanted to download these notes corresponding to the Invoivces..
    Thanks in Advance....
    Regards,
    Vidya.

    Hmm..you will get lots of links if you search the forum/google..
    Anyway - keep a breakpoint in SAVE_TEXT/READ_TEXT function module and create/display MIRO and FB60 documents - this tell you how it stores and reads long text.
    You should use READ_TEXT in your program with same header inputs with respective TDOBJECT and TDNAME parameters.

  • My Mac suddenly started getting a pop up message saying "There was a problem conecting to the server. URLs with the type "file" are not supported." My internet is working fine,no problem connecting. I just keep getting this message which I click off .

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

  • "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

    i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

    I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it.  Then I  shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • I can not download the last Iphoto update, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

    I can not download the last Iphoto update that I already purchased it by app store, and in the actual version 9.4.3 it does not work the sending photos by e-mail.

    Thanks for your replay,
    Finally the Iphoto 9.5 was installed...any way ..I had to go to app store to purchase it because the previous version did not updated autimatically... only shoed me that there is a new version ...but it guided me to the app store to purchase it.... and I did it because I did not know that the up date was free...and the sistem did not adviced me about that...
    I have the last up date of os x 10.9 already...
    in this new version I have no problem to send the photos by e-mail... but in the previous one it allways showed me an error message like ¨I should try later because the server does not work¨  but I tryed with 4 differents e-mail account that worked perfectly in the app Mail.
    any way, this new version is ok..
    thenks a lot

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:
