Printer cannot connect to the server when "checking for update". Can't setup eprint.

I have an Officejet 4620 All-in-one working wireless. It prints, scans and sends and receives faxes well. After setting up a fixed IP address, I started to get this problem. I test the wireless connection pressing the wireless button and report says everthing's fine. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
This is how I configured IPv4:
IP Address 10.0.0.250
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.0.0.67
Preferred DNS Address 10.0.0.67
Alternate DNS Address
WINS Server 0.0.0.0
Secondary WINS Server 0.0.0.0

doghaus,
Change your preferred DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and your alternate to 8.8.4.4.
Let me know if that works for you.

I have printed ouut the HP Network Configuration Page. I don't understand too much of this stuff but I would love to be a ble to use the scanner without having to buy another device. Anyone got any resolution before I lose my mind?

Try this first - Reset 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.

All the new updates made my ipad 2 not work well and hesitate so I cleared off all content and reset all settings and then downloaded all current updates. I now get a message every time I open my ipad 2 that says Log into Facebook. I do that with the correct password under settings and then get the ERROR: "CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER" All is good on both my iphone and Mac book Air
I have tried:
Deleted facebook app...but only goes to iCloud wont totally delete
I have Reset Network settings
I have Reset Location and Privacy or at least I try but I dont think anything is happening
No change

Can't connect to iTunes Store
Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again - or temporarily disabling your firewall or anti virus software?
Restart or reset the iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

HP Photosmart 5510 B111a - Cannot connect to the server

My printer is not printing when I email [id] @ hpeprint.com, even though I get the "ePrint Job Received" email, so I investigated it further.
It's on the network because I can access the web page like normal.
Here's what I'm greeted with.
There's a red cross next to the "ePrint", but the network has a green tick. Odd.
I check the "web services" tab...
Again, it shows a red cross and says "fix this".
I click "fix this", which after a little while displays this.
The error says:
Cannot connect to the server.
Check the Internet connection and try again. Or contact your system administrator or the person who set up the printer.
If your network requires a proxy server address to connect to Internet, click Enter Proxy or check your browser settings.
I know my connection is working as it should be.
I believe the fault lies in the printer, please can you advise further.
Thanks.

I discovered the problem.
I recall the printer had advised me some weeks ago to automatically set a manual IP.
When this was done it seems to turn off DNS settings so it cannot resolve any hostnames and will not access any services even though it is connected to the network.
I restored the IP back to automatic, which allowed me to also set DNS to automatically.
It seems that if you set a manual IP address on the printer, you cannot set the DNS.
Odd behaviour.

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

Cannot connect to abap server, please check your abap server connection

Installed new NW BPC 7.5 system on windows 2008 server but get the error as follows
when logon to BPC server:
"Cannot connect to abap server, please check your abap server connection".
"define system user group tab" is inactive in server manager also.
Server Diagnostic errors for SAP Server Connection:
Database Connection
Status Connection Error
as per note 1385864 but this note has not helped get past this status with installation.
User Type value is either set to Communication Data for all three users (BPC_ADMIN, BPC_SYSADMIN, BPC_USER).
and these accounts are not locked.
Any ideas for these errors?
Regards,
Aidan

Hi Aidan,
"Your logon id (domain\user) does not have SystemAdmin rights; some functionality
is disabled."
This is caused by the fact that the user you are logged in as isn't in the UJA_SVR_DEFAULT table, the SYSADMIN field needs to have a value that contains your user id (i.e. DOMAIN\USER) . You can set this up with the UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS program.
"When I try to install APPshell the following errors occur:
@8O@ UJA_DATA_CHECK E 006 Application PLANNING's multiprovider /CPMB/ATMKOOE not exist in BW
@8O@ UJS_EXCEPTION E 003 Errors occured during "after import" method call during activation"
Aidan, sounds like something went terribly wrong during your activation process. Do this, Clean the appset with the UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT program and make sure that everything is completely deleted. Make sure that there is a lot of memory available for the activation and try it again.
It should work.
Hopefully this helps you.
Cheers, Scott

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

Networking - No Internet - Cannot Connect to the Server

I have an old Intel Mac Mini running Leopard (10.5.8, I think) and connected to a wifi network created by a Time Capsule connected to a DSL router. I use the Mini (connected to a widescreen TV) mostly as a media center for Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, and iPhoto. The wifi network works fine for my laptop and iPhone, etc., but for some time now neither Safari nor Software Update has been able to access the internet from the Mac Mini. Instead I get a message that 'Safari cannot connect to [the URL] because Safari cannot connect to the server', and a recommendation to check my internet connection and try again. But I appear to be connected to my wifi network, Network Diagnostics says my internet connection appears to be working normally, and--most important--iTunes DOES connect to the internet to download podcasts etc. without any problems. I went to Network Preferences > Security > Firewall and found that iTunes was set to allow connections while Safari was set to block them--but authorizing Safari to allow connections didn't fix the problem even after a restart. (Also, because Software Update doesn't show up in Applications or Utilities, there doesn't seem to be any way to select Software Update under the firewall, which is understandable but also suggests that the problem is elsewhere.) So I turned the firewall off entirely and restarted but that didn't help either. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Thanks.

Camelot-
Thanks. I see it but I don't know what it means: The pane is set to configure proxies manually (the only other option is to configure using a PAD file). There nothing checked under 'Select a protocol to configure' and nothing entered in the 'FTP Proxy Server' box. In the 'Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts and Domains' box there are two entries (separated by commas) for '*.local' and 'nnn.nnn/nn' (with the n's representing numbers). The 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)' checkbox is checked. Does anything here sound problematic, or is there anything else I can check? Also, FYI, iTunes stopped connecting too after I had started downloading small podcasts individually to check the connection after making various changes to the firewall (but restoring the firewall back where it was didn't get iTunes back). Thanks very much.

Contribute Cannot Connect to the Server

I am using a windows XP Pro computer, and have been using Contribute CS3 for over a year. About 3 weeks ago, I started getting the message, when I tried to connect to our website, which is hosted by a 3rd party, I got the following message: Contribute Cannot connect to the server. Please check your connection information of contact your administrator. Our connection type is SFTP.
I could not connect on my work pc, so I installed Contribute CS4 on my home computer and could not connect either. I also got our website developer to try and connect, and they could no longer connect as well. As our website host has assured us that no changes have been made on their system, I did a fresh install of a trial Contribute CS4 on a brand new computer (XP Pro) and this time was successful at making a connection.
If anyone has any ideas why the other 3 computers could not connect to the website, that would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having the very same issue. Very frustrating. Support had me uninstall and reinstall. That did not wor
k, Then they had me uninstall and reinstall as a trial. That did not work. Very umimpressed with Adobe
products and support.
Anyone have a solution to this issue. I'm at the end of my rope.

What does it mean "Cannot connect to the server" ?

We actually have two issues. For some reason Yahoo email stopped downloading on my wife's droid razzr. The section to alter the frequency to check for email is greyed out so you can't get in to it. Perhaps that has something to do with it. It is a "new" replacement phone since the original one quit working mid-text a couple weeks ago (phone only 5 months old). Both of my phones seem to get the "Cannot connect to the server" notice every now and then. Could use some help. Thanks

Solution to iCloud "cannot connect to the server" upgrade issue

I have just switched my iPhone 4s to a new carrier. (iOS 7.0.4)
Once the previous carrier (finally) unlocked its activation grip, all went well through restoring the phone. One issue remained:
iCloud wanted me to "agree to new terms of service" and would not allow me to do anything else with it. But when I tapped the button to "read the terms of service" the dialogue "Cannot connect to the server" popped up.
The solution turned out to be relatively painless:
Make sure you have backed up any Photo Streams that are present on your iPhone. (I use Aperture for this.)
At the bottom of the iCloud settings screen (Settings->iCloud) tap the "Delete Account" button. You will be warned that photos, documents, etc., will be deleted from your iPhone. As long as you are confident of your backups, tap "Delete" in the warning dialogue.
If you have "Find My iPhone" enabled, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to turn it off. This is the only way to gain access to this setting that I could find.
Cold-boot your iPhone (Power + Home). I suppose you don't HAVE to do this, but seemed like A Good Thing.
Return to the iCloud settings screen and turn iCloud back on. Enter your Apple ID and password. Double-check that "Find My iPhone" is enabled, if desired.
You will be asked to allow iCloud to merge documents, contacts, and so on with the information on your iPhone. Do this as desired. (I do not yet use iCloud for most of this.) Your Photo Stream will eventually show up again by itself.
Hope this helps, and I'm all ears if there is an easier and potentially safer solution!
Matt
