IMac is giving me "cannot find server" error message. HELP!

here is the message I am getting.
http://thoughton.co.uk/digitallife/weblog/images/safari_noserver.jpg
this is regardless of using firefox or safari.
now
I just recently moved and am connecting to a new network.
My airport shows the network, I enter the password, it says it fully connected.
I ran the diagnostics and it says ALL aspects of the connection are running as they should
I have tried:
restarting my computer
deleting the airport connection and then re adding it
clearing my cache
also deleting the "systems preferences" so it would reset all my proxies and what not.
all to no avail.
My roomate has a macbook and can connect without any problems.
I have gone into his and compared the proxies, and DSN and they match accordingly.
but yet, I am still getting this message everytime I try and load a web page
It will not connect to itunes store or any file sharing networks( iphoto, aperature, etc.)
I am at a loss here and really really need to solve this so I can continue to work at home.

How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

<blockquote>
Hi Adriel,
The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
</blockquote>
I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

Cannot find server error trying to download Migration Workbench

I've been trying to download OMWB for the last 4 days, from Oracle Migration Workbench Downloads / Release 9.2.0.1.2 for Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2000/XP page.
Keep getting 'Cannot find server' and 'Page cannot be displayed' errors in Internet Explorer.
Is this the correct URL:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/omwb/92012/omwb_92012.exe
I downloaded and used the previous version of OMWB. Was very satisfied with it. Unfortunately, I had to rebuild my hard drive and lost OMWB.

I suggest that you retry, maybe there was some network glitches... If you follow the links from OTN you should be able to download no problems. Did you try the split downloads as an alternative?

Cannot Find Symbol Error, please help.

I am brand new to Java, so sorry if this question is obvious, but I keep receiving the following error when i try and compile the following code Circle.java
Circle.java:17: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Point()
location: class pointClass.Point
^
Circle.java:18: cannot find symbol
symbol : method Point(double,double)
location: class pointClass.Point
super.Point(x,y); //set center to (x,y)
^
2 errors
I cant seem to figure out why I am getting this error, any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
This is the code for Circle.java:
package circleClass;
import pointClass.*;
public class Circle extends Point
private double radius; //Add a double radius field.
public Circle()
super(0,0); //call Point?s constructor initializing center to (0,0)
radius = 0.0; //set radius to 0.0
public Circle(double x, double y, double r)
super.Point(x,y); //set center to (x,y)
radius = r; //set radius to r
public double r()
return radius; //returns radius.
public double getArea()
return Math.PI*(radius*radius); //returns area of Circle object
public double getCircumference()
return 2*Math.PI*radius; //returns circumference of Circle object
public String toString()
return "center: ("+x+","+y+")"+"\nradius: "+r; //returns String that will give
//output of the format...
//center: (x,y)
//radius: r
If it helps, this is the code for pointClass:
package pointClass;
public class Point
private double xcoor,ycoor;
public static final Point ORIGIN = new Point();
private Point()
xcoor = 0;
ycoor = 0;
public Point(double x, double y)
xcoor = x;
ycoor = y;
public double x()
return xcoor;
public double y()
return ycoor;
public String toString()
return "(" + xcoor + "," + ycoor + ")";
public static double distance(Point p, Point q)
double dx = q.xcoor - p.xcoor;
double dy = q.ycoor - p.ycoor;
return Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
Thanks for your help.

{color:#000080}Both of your classes need to be in the same package, not each one in a package of its own. You have imported pointClass.Pont in Circle.java, but I don't think that's what you want to do. For a better understanding of packages, read{color}

Wwv_flow.accept Cannot find server ERROR returned

This appears to be a timeout issue. I have a HTMLDB application I have been testing. It can copy a schema running a procedure coded using DBMS_DATAPUMP. When the schema copied is small, everything works fine and the success/failure page is displayed correctly. When the schema being copied is large the server not found page is displayed ("The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.")
The http: page in the address line of the failure is the same one that was displaying in the Opening bar at the bottom of the browser after GO was pressed.
Because of activities that need to be performed after the schema copy we cannot exit out before the schema is completely copied.

How to keep firefox from getting the cannot find server error

I just recently fixed my computer from a nasty spyware problem that required me to manipulate some registry values. After solving the problem, firefox seems to work but only for a very limited time before I'm unable to load any pages. I then close firefox and reopen to find out that it can no longer find the server and have to constantly restart my computer in order to have access to the internet again. However the access to firefox still only lasts for a limited time before I have to restart again. I'm sure this isn't a connection issue because everyone else in the house has no problems.

Nope.
If you launch Mail, you get mail.
You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.

I can't download email into Outlook 2011. Get "can't find server" error message.

I recently purchased a new iMac and had my local Apple store move over all of my documents from my G5 running PPC version 10.5.8. However because I am using several programs that don't have an Intel Mac version I continue to use both computers. But recently I decided it was time to make the full move to my new iMac. However, when I installed MS Office 2011 with the Outlook option it imported the old email and contacts files but it will not download new emails. I have the same email account info on both computers but Outlook hangs up when it tries to downloan new messages while the PPC version works like a charm. Now I purchased Mountain Lion over the weekend thinking that might solve the problem but it did not.
The message I get on my screen is "There was a problem connecting to the server "Tim's G5"". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at the time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and then try again."
I have no idea what this message is referring to but it only appears when I open Outlook.
Can anyone help me? I can't switch over to my new iMac unti I know for sure Outlook will work properly.

How do I export apps from my iPhone to my iMac? I received notice that there is an update now for the iOS in my iPhone, but that I first needed to transfer some files (apps?) from the iPhone to my iMac. But I cannot find anything in the Help menu on this.

How do I export items from my iPhone to my iMac? Apple sent me a message to my iPhone, saying that there is an update for iOS, to 6.1.3, but before I install this update, I should first transfer some items from the iPhone to my iMac; otherwise I would lose these items (apps?)
I have two problems with this: 1) I don't know what files I should transfer, and 2) I don't how to transfer from an iPhone to an iMac (but do know how to download apps from iTunes Store to my iMac, and then to my iPhone.
Very confusing! Any help/suggestions gratefully accepted.

Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on File, and choose Transfer Purchases. If you need to authorize the computer, the command is in the Store menu.

"Cannot Find Server" Constant Error Message

I've been having this problem for quite some time. I will attempt to connect to a website only to wait forever and then get a "Cannot find server" error message. It's not just with one site, it happens with many.
It's also random. Sometimes everything connects fine and fast, and then inexplicably I get "Cant' find server" for sites like Facebook, Amazon, even Apple. It can start working again for a few minutes and then in an instant I'm getting error messages again.
However, my email always works fine.
And this is NOT a Safari problem. I also get the same trouble when I switch to Firefox or Explorer. My ISP says it's an Airport / Mac issue since it all works fine if I direct connect to the laptop and because my email is also working.
In addition, when I'm having this problem, my iPhone also cannot connect to the WWW but can get email.
I've tried powercycling the modem and the airport numerous times. It's really becoming a pain.
Any thoughts?

Me too I tried everything. I am an Apple fan with 2 computers,3 iPods. I have no idea what the problem is. I had to re-run the disk each time to find the internet. Finally tried a Linksys Grouter worked first time-laptop anywhere in the house strong signal. I have had similar problems with an Airport Express-never got it to work-so tried the Extreme. I returned it-I didn't want to but I just could not get it to work.

Forms/4GL Tutorial Returns Cannot find server or DNS Error

Hi:
I am trying to plow through this tutorial (10.1.3.1.0) and when I run the SRList.jpsx page I receive the error: Cannot find server or DNS Error. The URL produced by JDeveloper is:
http://192.168.99.36:8988/SRTutorialADFBC-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRList.jspx.
Any suggestions?
I've culled the forums and the Web, and cannot find a match. The only nugget that I can add is that I'm using JDeveloper with the OA Framework extension. I have been successful creating pages with OA Framework and executing them. Is there some incompatibility with OA Framework and ADF?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Mchrist,
You cannot use the OA Framework download to develop ADF apps.
I would create two batch/command files: in each one, set JDEV_USER_DIR and any other environment variables to point to a proper place and run the JDeveloper.
Just unzip JDev and OA Framework to separate locations and ensure that the user directory for each is in a separate location as well.

# Do you have a firewall or antivirus that may be blocking https://accounts.firefox.com or specifically a name like * .services.mozilla.com
# Please enable logging and post any errors to share [http://pastebin.mozilla.org/]
How to turn on logging:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
