    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

    I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

    I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

  • I just restored my ipod as a new ipod and it won't let me sign in with my apple ID and says that it has an error connecting to the server, when I am already connected to the wifi.

    Yes, of course.   Did you set up with your Apple ID?    
    Reset the iPad to factory and set it up with your Apple ID and password.   You can still sync different apps, music and other stuff onto the iPad,  the devices need not mirror each other.
    I have an old wifi iPad, an iPod touch and a new iPad mini with cellular.   All on the same Apple ID and password, different content on some apps, same on others.

  • My apple tv gives a msg " there was a problem connecting to the network " check your settings and try again (5) - sometimes it comes with the number 3905 - i have tried all the suggestions from reset, restart, to switching and unplugging everything -

    I was trying to download a movie and then it said there was a problem connecting to the network , check your settings and try again (5) . I tried all the various suggestions already in the discussions including restore, restart, unplugging everything etc - still doesnt work. Any other new ideas? I bought my apple tv just a few days ago and am really annoyed its already run into problems

    Reboot router, make sure it's up to date. If on wifi try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network).

  • Device had a problem connecting to the server

    Hi,
    I've just got a new blackberry curve. It was on O2 originally but has been unlocked so I can use it with my Virgin account. I have managed to set it up fine except that when I go into email settings to initialise the application is says "your device had a problem connecting to the server".
    I never actually used it with the O2 network although there is an email in my inbox from Blackbery registration saying "your handheld has been registered with the wireless network".
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Hi ekatedelaney,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    You may need to setup your email from your new provider's website via computer. http://bit.ly/g124JI
    If you are still unable to do this you may need to contact your wireless provider for assistance.

  • EMAIL: Your device had a problem connecting to the server?

    I have not received an email to my blackberry for 2 days and wondered if something went wrong.
    When I run Setup > Email settings.
    Its starts to load up something then comes up with an error of 'Your device had a problem connecting to the server'
    Does this just mean I'm not in a area with a connection? Any help?

    Thank you so much for your help you guys - I thought my new toy was toast and would spend days trying to fix it. What a great forum.

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    The email works properly on my Z10 but I need the 9720 to work too so that I can access it using a local carrier when working abroad.
    All other features seem to be working properly.
    I keep getting the 'Your device had a problem connection to the server' meesage.
    Hi @kp_1! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Do you have an exisiting BIS plan on your 9720?
    Unlike your Z10, legacy devices like the 9720 require BIS (BlackBerryInternet Service) for it to have access to BlackBerry services (BBM, Email, protect etc.)
    If you have a BIS and you can use other services except for the email, then you need to contact your carrier. This issue may be caused if the carrier has not correctly provisioned the BlackBerry smartphone for BlackBerry data services.
    Goodluck!

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen is not updating to the latest software, iTunes keeps saying that there was a problem connecting to the update server...

    I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update  install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?

    If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0.  and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

  • The FTP function in Dreamweaver CS5 has suddenly stopped working. My ISP just had to upgrade their FTP servers and they said it was no longer compatible with the FTP in Dreamweaver CS5! Help!!

    Is there any update to Dreamweaver CS5 that will allow the FTP function to be compatible with the new FTP server protocol? Please help. Will I need to upgrade to CS6?

    Ask in the DW forum and be much more specific about the requirements for your FTP connection like its ports, TLS settings and so on.

  • HT201412 I have a problem connecting to the server (SSL problem) on my new Apple ipad.  I was supplied with a new ID password, but I am unable to get into my settings and email. Could someone please offer a suggestion?  Thanks!  A.A.

    I have a problem connecting to the server (SSL problem) on my new Apple Ipad (iOS6).  When submitting my Apple ID password, I am prevented from signing in to a secure connection due to an SSL problem.  Any suggestions ??  Thank you! 

    Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
    https://appleid.apple.com
    if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.
