GUI Bug / Suggestion - View Network Connection Settings
I'm currently running Windows Server Technical Preview in a VMware Workstation environment. When I click on the network icon in the system tray, and then proceed to click on "View Network Connection Settings", nothing happens. Is this
a bug?
I know in the desktop OS this opens PC Settings which doesn't exist in Server, but it makes sense for this button to link to "Network Connections" or even "Network and Sharing Center" in Server.
Enable Desktop Experience. Server with a GUI is not the full GUI, you need to enable Desktop Experience (on User Interface options), Fax Server (for Windows Fax and Scan), Server Backup, wireless, XPS Viewer and GUI for Windows Defender, to make use of
the full graphical experience. Some shortcuts and elements in the GUI make sense only after you activate thoose functions. Windows Server seems a modified version of Windows client x64, more or less, some leftovers from the client origin still remain
in the server version. Some client features are present, but turned off by default, if you want to experiment, you can enable them. Windows Server can become very close to the Windows client, if you know what to turn on.

Adobe Browserlab - Tells me network connection settings won't allow connection
I can use the Dreamweaver --> File --> Preview In Browser menu to test from so maybe it's no big deal but was just wondering if I was missing something by not having Browser Lab and if I am how do I modify my Mac Network connection settings to get Browserlab to work?
me again -- Dave V.In this one http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
On Mac OS X
Do the following:
Quit all CS5 applications.
Open the Apple Property List Editor (supplied with the Apple SKD) or other property list editor application..
Open the file [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist.
Select Root to see the subentries.
Locate the string object AdobeOnlineDefault. if the key does not exist, you'll need to create it.
Double-click this string value and set it's Value Data to "0" to disable CS Live access.
Save the com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist file.
Quit the plist editor.
I put that value to 1 instead of 0 and it made everything work. The CS Live button in the Tool bar in all Adobe applications is for access to various online Adobe services, BrowserLab among them. I don't have Property List Editor but used Prefsetter and it worked. I've for a long time had my Adobe applications saying that they are not connected to the internet. But doing this setting today solved it for me. CS Live is not only for groups. I am a one-person operation but the CS Live button is the easiest way to reach those services you want. Provided the application don't says that it is not connected to the internet... The Adobe technote describes how top turn it off, not how to turn it on. And it is only the AdobeOnline Default that needs changing. Nothing else. -
IBook suddleny lost network connection settings
I have an iBook G3 dual USB. It's running Leopard 10.3.9 or whatever the last update is. It was connecting fine to my network fine vis LAN cable. I did the last of the updates, I believe the last were A Security update and maybe airport software. (I do not have an airport card)I rebooted and now I will not connect. I checked the network settings and the IP address and related settings have changed. I tried to change them and still will not connect. I tried the assistant still no luck. I can not explain how angry I am right now. I had the same issue with Tiger so I down graded to Leopard and all was well until the lasr batch of updates and reboot. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for 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...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. -
Good evening,
i have a BB Z10 with which i am having some networking issues...................the device shows that it is connected to WIFI and data services are on etc, but it seem as thought device is not connected. Internet is not working and my email addresses are also kaput. A message in the email settings said in red writing 'device not connected to network' even though the Network Connection settings showed it should be. i can also still make calls and BBM. Any ideas/suggestion please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

I Have seen similar questions to this but still can't seem to be able to fix the issue...
a Few months ago my iMessage and FaceTime stopped working, along with any notifications from apps such as Facebook. iMessage comes up saying 'iMessage activation. Could not sign in. Please check network connection settings.' I am currenttly using wifi on my iPad so I have internet, I've signed in and out of iTunes - as apps such as Facebook when open come up with 'connect to iTunes to receive push notifications.' I've checked the date and set it to automatically update and I've tried using different wifi And I've tried resetting the network settings. Does anyone have any other ideas? It's really annoying!
TThanksHi, Trinahughes.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try updating your devices to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released as it provides a fix for issues with iMessage and FaceTime. If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

Is there a way to password protect the access options pannel, in particular the Connection Settings?
Is there a way that access to the Options panel can be locked by an administrator. In particular I would like to block a user from being able to change the proxy server settings in Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection Settings. I would like to be able to lock the settings to (Use system proxy settings). The OS is windows 7 standard user account controlled by a windows small business server 2008.
You can lock the related network.http prefs to prevent users from changing the settings.<br />
That will only make it impossible to change the prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page directly.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.type
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/network.proxy.%28protocol%29_port
Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes -
I am having a major problem connecting to FaceTime today. Message reads "unable to connect, check network connections". I am online, mail works, ex
Tc. This was not a a problem two days ago. Any suggestions?Could be that the servers are overloaded today.

Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'. I have been using google for ages and am not sure what I have missed.

When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

I keep getting this error message when I try to log into Itunes, has anyone else seen this error? If so how did you fix it?
Itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again.Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

when i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"
I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.
