TS4036 could not sign in server error when trying to restore iphone from icloud

I am trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud backup. I deleted everything on the phone per restore instructions. Connected to wireless on iPhone. Logged on to my iCloud account. Told the iPhone to restore from iCloud backup. I keep getting ""could not sign in" server error OK. I get this messge over and over.

I actually noticed when I had this problem just now that my iPhone 4 wasn't on wif. Only connected to 3G even though I entered my network info and clicked connect. So I backed up a few steps and re selected to connect to wifi and it fixed my issue!

Trying to sign using Apple ID and get could not sign in server error

I just got a new iPod touch and am trying to sign into the app store. I have created an Apple ID and got a confirmation that it it works but when I try to sign on I get the following message:
Could not Sign In
Server Error
What would be causing this?
Steve

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you sign in on your computer?
- Could be a temporary Apple problem.

Error: "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again", regardless of which Apple ID used. Do I need to open ports on the router?

Attempting to log into FaceTime on iMac and get this error Could not sign in. I have tried multiple Apple IDs and checked that connection to internet is working as normal. Do I need to open certain ports on the router to allow a Facetime connection with iMac.
I am able to connect FaceTime with iPhone over wifi. iMac is connected via etehrnet cable to router.

I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro I have it connected to WiFi

I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

Any other thoughts, mario49?
I've no trouble connecting to or using iMessage on my iPhone or my iPad; and no trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, the (iOS) App Store from my iOS devices, the (OS X) App Store from my MBP. So, my Apple ID is still functioning just fine, thank you very much and my network connection is not an issue.
My hosts file has not been tampered with, and I'm not blocked by any firewalls--the failures occur where ever I am.
This issue has been happening only for the last 2 days, but I'm completely locked out of Messages from my MBP.
So, what's the deal?

Could not sign in Unknown error.

Have had my Apple TV for over a year on the same iTunes account, working flawlessly. All of a sudden today, I get random:
Could Not Sign In
Unknown error.
Messages.
Restart - nada. Power interrupt - nada.
Log off and try to log back in in settings: same message every time now.
Help!

Sort of. I did a full restore from settings, which resets it to factory settings, but with the latest software update. Then had to set it up like new, and re-login or register apps like MLB, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Took over an hour, but the problem hasn't been back since. Kind of sad that no one replies on these forums, including Apple support. I'm full Apple technology ecosystem in my home, but have started to shop other devices now after this experience. Technology issues I can take. Lack of support, not so much.

EAS - Error: "Could not connect Administration Server

hello All,
i am very new to EPM
i have installed EPM 11.1.2.2 with web application deployed to single manage server
OS : windows server 2008
database : sql server
when i try to connect EAS console it gives me error
Could not connect Administration Server
any idea?

If it has been deployed to a single managed server on the default port then you will need to add the server in EAS console as servername:9000
Cheers

Network error could not connect to server 127.0.0.1:5900

I have created a virtual machine in VM manager from a template and when I try to view the console I get the error "network error could not connect to server 127.0.0.1:5900"
The way that I have everything set up is this.... I am using Oracle VirtualBox installed on Windows 7 and I have created a virtual machine in VirtualBox with Oracle Virtual Server installed and I have Oracle VM Manager installed on that same virtual machine. After reading some forums I found out that I needed to install TightVNC to be able to use the console from Windows IE. So, I have installed TightVNC on my OVS but I can not even tell if it is running. I have also made sure that in iptables that port 5900 is open. I have confirmed this by using nmap to scan my ports and port 5900 is open for vnc when my virtual machine in vm manager is running. I just can not figure out why I am getting the network error unless TighVNC is not running on my OVS. Does anyone have any ideas for why this might be happeneing. Thanks

Hi,
it seemed when you registered the OVM server to the OVM manager, it did not deliver the correct hostname, but the local address instead.
See if your /etc/hosts contains the hostname in the 127.0.0.1 line.
Correct the /etc/hosts, remove the OVS server and reregister with OVM manager.
Regards
Sebastian

I was able to figure it out. All you do is:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Now this the device will reset.
Log in>Settings>ITunes and App Store>Sign In
Tada, it works.

Facetime error "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again

When I try to log in to Facetime on my iMac, it gives me the an error. "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again" I have already tried fixing the time and I dont have any firewall installed

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
          Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 12
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 13
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Step 14
Reinstall OS X.
Step 15
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.

SSRS Database Configuration Manager Error - Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception

I'm Getting the "Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception" Error on an existing Instance of SSRS that had been working previously (lots of installs/patches since).
Any time I try to hit the "Test Connection" button on existing connections or create new ones from the SSRS Config Mgr., it throws that error.
I know the SQL Server connectivity works (I have SSMS installed on there and can cut and paste server Login to connect). The problem is I can't really get any more details on the error...Event Viewer isn't logging anything, I have upped the trace level
to 4 in the reportingservicesservice.config file, I have even watched it with procmon and nothing obvious pops up.
Let me know if anyone else has been down this path and what they have tried.

Hi BillOlive,
Based on my research, the issue may be related to user access permission. You can refer to the following method to troubleshooting the issue:
Open C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG folder | right click on the machine.config file | Properties | Security | make sure your domain account has FULL CONTROL permission on this file.
If above steps still do not work, please backup your machine.config file to somewhere else and replace with the attached one from my Windows Server 2008 environment.
Alternatively, app.config file also may cause the same issue. There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Error " Could not connect Administratin Server "

Hi All,
I am getting an error while connecting to Administratin Server " Could not connect to Administration Server "
Server : AIX 5.3 ML7 64 bit
Application Server : Apache Tomcat
Version : Hyperion System 9.3.1
While configuration it does not give any error and shows the successfully deployed.
I re-configured the Adminstration Services again, stopped / re-started the services, but it did not help.
Any suggestion / help would be highly appreciated. Thanks !

AIX server for SS. I didn't want to mess up my original files so I created a new start script and a new setJavaRuntime script.
You can use FTP to send the copied file and edit. there and sent it back
1. Make a copy of the file /Hyperion931/deployments/Tomcat5/bin/ startSharedServices9.sh
2. Edit the original startSharedServices9.sh file and change the section that sets the Java:
To check JAVA HOMe. please type env or open the . .profile and you should see that,
This is what you will see.:
# set JDK/JRE VENDOR
if [ -r $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime.sh ]
then
. $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime.sh
else
echo "ERROR: Could not read $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime.sh"
to
# set JDK/JRE VENDOR
if [ -r $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime142.sh ]
then
. $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime142.sh
else
echo "ERROR: Could not read $CONFIGTOOL_HOME/setJavaRuntime142.sh"
3. Copy the Hyperion931/common/config /setJavaRuntime.sh to setJavaRuntime142.sh
4. Edit the setJavaRuntime142.sh file and modify the JAVA_HOME to point to Java 1.4.2:
JVMS="JRE-IA64 JRE-64 JRE"
for JVM in ${JVMS}; do
if [ -x "${HYPERION_HOME}/common/${JVM}/${VENDOR}/1.5.0/bin/java" ]; then
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java14"
break;
Use the modified startSharedServices9.sh to start Shared Services.
Perform the Sanme with AAS also.
Kind Regards,
Sriram
