I cannot sign in after reset. "cannot connect to server"

Shortly after resetting my iPad ,4th Gen IOS 8.0, when i try to sign in with my existing apple id the ipad pops up with error... "Could not sign in, there was a problem connecting to the server."
Could someone please help, thanks.

Well, disregard. After an hour of attempting to log in, changing password on desktop, and still having problems logging in to phone, it now lets me log in. Thanks.

Hi.
Sounds like your Apple TV needs to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies

I cannot open facebook in safari it is coming up with cannot connect to server. I can open all other websites though. I have reset cookies & history and hard reset a number of times. I can open other websites no problems.
Any help appreciated.

You cleared cookies and data in Settings>Safari? Did you close Safari as well before you reset the iPad? Double tap the home button and drag the Safari thumbnail up to the top of the screen to close it.

After 7.0.6 upgrade Icloud email "Cannot Connect To Server". All other email works fine.

After upgrade to 7.0.6 both IPad and iPhone now will not send or receive Icloud email while at home. Get "Cannot connect to server " message. All other email accounts (google, verizon) work fine. Plus the "last backup" information unavailable as well as icloud storage information. Says unavailable, try again later. Also cannot view body of emails sent or received in the last 2 days. I am at work now and all works normally. If this is a wifi issue, I I do not understand why all other email accounts are sending receiving ok. It's only the Icloud server that seems to be the problem.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc.

When I try and distribute form, it says it cannot connect to server, even though I'm online, sign in etc. How can I get it to connect?? I need to know, urgently to get a proposal in before the deadline.

Try downloading the Find My Friends app and signing in with your iCloud ID to accept the terms and conditions there. If that doesn't work, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in.

N97 - Nokia Messaging msj: "Cannot connect to serv...

Hello everyone,
My name is Leonel and I´m from Argentina.
I bought my N97 - 3 by internet.
He fact is that i m trying to configure my Nokia Messaging with and IMAP account (job´s account)
In the past I have had configured this account on my device, but after a hard reset (due to firmware update) I can not make this account works (my Gmail and Hotmail account works perfectly)
I have checked all the fields like Incoming / outcoming port and server, mail, password, etc but the message always appear "Cannot connect to server"
I know that this account with the parameters i have put in the nokia mail web works perfectly since i have the same working in my PC (outlook express)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
I will try to do what you said, but the i don´t think this will work.
I already have the nokia messaging on my device with 3 configured accounts: GMAIL / HOTMAIL / OVI MAIL.
The only one wich does not work is the IMAP account of my job (in the past, i had it full working on my n97 device, but as i said, after a full reboot, i try to configure again with no succes)
On the other hand, i am now trying what you said. Logining in email.nokia.com and making this page send me an sms to installa the Nokia Messaging on my phone again.
++
PD: For your information, when i try to configure my IMAP mail on the webpage ( http://email.nokia.com ) i fill in all the full blanks like incoming server, port, outcoming server, port, email, password, user, but after some seconds the webpage shows a message telling that it is not possible connect to the server. Try again later.
I do not know the reason, because i have this same this account configured in my oulook express (PC) with these same parameters, and works well.
Many thank again.
Best regards,
Leonel.

Photoshop Touch: Cannot connect to server

I have Photoshop Touch (version 1.7.5) installed on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (with the latest firmware). When I try to open files from my Creative Cloud, I get an error message that says: "Lost connection. Cannot connect to server". It's strange because I can see my folders, and the error message appears just after I click one of my folders to view it's containg files. I have tried to log off / log on and reboot the device, but it doesn't help. I can access my cloud files from a PC and I am sure the user name and password are correct. Does anyone know a way to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!:)

Sometimes the sign-in process goes kablooey for whatever reason. It can usually be remedied by tapping the options icon (the cogwheel out in the project selection user interface; upper right) > My Account. Sign in that way and you should be able to get everything going again. I just did it on my Google Nexus 7 2013 with no problems.

Suddenly i cannot receive emails - cannot connect to server

cannot receive emails. message says cannot connect to server. have checked and everything looks okay.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...
Delete the Email Account and then Re-add it.

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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My iPad is telling that it cannot connect to server when checking for emails but I can connect to the internet

My email was working great, I tried sending a large attachment and couldn't, I cleared that and now my email cannot connect to server, internet is working fine, any suggestions?

Sometimes it helps to close the mail app and reboot the iPad. That will reset the app and the iOS system. Try mail again after that.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

MacBook Pro, iPad IV and iPhone 4S Cannot Connect to Server

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and an iPad IV, both less than three months old. I also have a pair of iPhone 4s's.
All of a sudden none of them can reliably connect to our AT&T Wireless home internet. There are particular websites we are blocked from viewing, notably any apple website, including apple.com, apple support, itunes, and App store, but also random ones like Wikipedia and others. We constantly get the "cannot connect to server" message. Yet other websites load right up with no problem.
Many websites are seriously snarled up, particularly Ebay, which is a critical one for me to have quick access to. Ebay screens are scrambled and out of order, act like purchases are being made when they're not, and photos don't show. All we get is little blue questionmarks.
Multiple PCs running on our home network work just fine, and we can get into any website with them. But ANY apple product is just stymied. We can turn off wifi on the phones, and get into websites with 3g, but as soon as the wife is turned back on, we're back to square one.
Nothing has changed on our network recently, although we did get a new router about three months ago after having consistent outages. I have noticed our wifi getting glitchier and slower as time goes by, but again, it affects the Apple products, until it just went totally haywire last week.
My husband gets wifi at work just fine, and I am accessing wifi quickly and accurately on the MBP at this very moment on a museum network.
The issue seems to be the AT&T home network, and very specifically with the full line of Apple products.
Any clean and easy suggestions? I don't want to have to jump through hoops on four different products, and I now suspect it's something to do with AT&T?

Pleeeeeeease. Somebody? Anybody?
I can't get into Facebook, or Ebay on my MacBook. Life is too short to weep and lose hair over computers. Surely there's a quick fix I just haven't thought of?

HP ENVY 4500 Printer "Error. Cannot connect to Server"

Hey everybody,
I work in IT and have a client that recently purchased a HP Envy 4500 all-in-one. She called me to install it for her and I got it set up with no problems. After a few days she told me that her printer wouldn't scan. It was giving her this error message;
"Error. Cannot connect to Server. Check Server name and address."
She has this computer connected via USB and I have already reinstalled the driver and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor with no success. I have tried a lot of other solutions that people have been posting with the same issue but none have worked. This has become a huge issue and I don't see HP trying to find a solution. If no soultion will fix this, then I will be returning this printer for her and getting something that works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
bbritt91

Hi bbritt91,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are getting a connection error message when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Envy 4500 printer.
To be able to use the scan to email feature the printer must be setup with web services which requires the printer to be connected to your wireless network with an active internet connection. I have included the Getting Started with ePrint document for reference.
If the printer has been setup with a wireless connection, please set a manual IP address and manual DNS server for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Please don’t worry that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

Safari Cannot Connect with Server (mountain lion) on wifi

I Posted this under Mountain Lion as Safari had no connectivity issues for me when I got my mbp and it had lion installed and ran beautifully-
NOW my apple (s) run fine on mountain lion
for a little bit,
and then I get "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
Now during this frequent occurance the APP store hangs and hangs as well.
This is most annoying-
The only way to use my apple products after this happens is to restart them
and then they work until they go into sleep mode,
sometimes they screw up before that and then
"Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
my Airport utility shows that it is scanning for networks-
When I was right in the middle of buying something from amazon-- I had to go to my decrepit old windows xp connected up only for cox email to complete the transaction-
This is not acceptable. Since it occurs on both of my apple computers and only started when I installed mountain lion.
This has continually gotten worse to the point I must restart my laptop continually-
Apple better get the lead out of their butts and fix this glaring fault- or should I install another web browser?
which I am disinclined to do-
I spent a fortune on these apple products and I expect them to work properly- I went to apple because I was so sick of microsoft and its endless headaches and updates and freezes lol--
kind of funny if you think about it.

Hi BSU1960,
I found the solution to my problem on a different forum. Turns out for some reason the anti-virus software that I run was interferring with my browsers' connecting to the internet. Once I disabled the web protion of the anti-virus my problem went away.
I have a question to Kaspersky Security, hopefully will find out what was the root cause.

I cannot sign in after reset. "cannot connect to server"
