Leopard trying to connect to missing server
I updated my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard some time ago with no serious problems using Archive & Install.
Just recently our home network had to be reconfigured with a different IP range. Now, whenever I log into my MacBook Pro I get an error that a server can not be found. This only happens with my account on the MMP.
I probably had set the MBP up in Tiger to connect to one of our home file servers by IP address instead of name, and the settings were migrated from Tiger to Leopard. The problem is I can not figure out how to stop it from trying to connect - or for that matter what it's trying to connect to since the alert does not specify what server it cannot connect to. I can not find any error in the Console that I can understand as this "can not connect" alert.
I have removed the two network shares from my account's Login Items but the error still comes up when I log in. I deleted all Recent Servers. I searched online and could not find a reference to this issue, though I found mention of a /Mounts/ folder - which I do not have, and an /automount folder which I as the administrator do not have access to. There's nothing in my account's LaunchAgents folder...
I think Tiger did automounting differently from how Leopard does it, so the setting may have been migrated to a setting that does not exist in Leopard, but I have no idea where that may be. I did a search on my HD for any content with the network's old iP range, but found nothing.
I'm stymied. It's not an earth-shaking issue - the alert can be dismised - but I'd like to know how to fix it.
Its a while since I used the software but I seem to recall it can register the client in active directory, hence the network admin password. This would be typed in by a Windows Network admin not by the user and only required the once.
Anyway there is evaluation email support so they can answer questions about their software much better than I can. Be interesting to confirm if it will do the job.
Just seen the post from Halmat, this would confirm what I thought. Please contact Thursby I am sure it can be sorted.

Hi there, I am trying to connect to my server at work from home using a vpn connection. It connects fine and the time ticks along, but when i click go - connect to server, it comes up with connection failed. Please help!
... when i click go - connect to server, it comes up with connection failed.
If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that. -

Sorry for long file. Can any one please help me in solving this problem.
Thanks in advnace
KurakulaI'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

Here's the sequence of events:
Setting up a new iMac.
Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
Now, the problem:
Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
Rebooting doesn't help
Ideas?never mind the problem is gone this morning.

How do I stop InDesign from trying to connect with a server?
I have a huge problem, either with InDesign or Apple I am not sure.
Basically when I bring my computer home from work every time I open InDesing it tries to connect to a server and I get this error message: the server XXX.local may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
Why is InDesign trying connect to a server? Photoshop and Illustrator work perfectly well and function as a normal program. Indesign has no reason to do this as it shouldn't need to work through a server.
I get this error message and once I have dismissed it, it comes back after a few seconds and then stalls my computer again.
I really hope that someone can give me some idea of what is happening because the support in my country have not been at all helpful.CS5. I have been working with this program for over 10 years and I have never seen this before. I only have this problem at home and not at working. The drive it is trying to access is the timecapsule.local. As I said it is only with InDesign and all the other bundle programs are fine. It is not a pay per month and is a legitimately licensed business subscription.

IMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network.
iMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network - I am looking for a solution to stop the error messages showing up. For instance, I have a contact in the address book that I need to change his picture and when I try to do that, for some reason, the server where the pics were stored appears as unavailble. The error message is not going away until the aplication is being closed.
Appreciate any feedbacks.
Thanks.Back up all data.
1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Import
and import from the file you exported. Your contacts will reappear.
5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results. -
Mac keeps trying to connect to a server when opening excel
i worked for a week at a production house and they had me log into their server to access files that we all used. obviously i forgot to eject their server before i left and instead just closed my computer and left. now, since Lion makes all documents that were left open restore automatically my mac keeps trying to load a spreadsheet that i was reading off the server but obviously i'm not connected to said server anymore. and i won't ever again.
how can i stop my mac from trying to connect to this server? also, is there a way to stop Lion from auto restoring?
thanks, all!Well, I was hoping that if you remove all traces of recently opened documents to resume and you disable the resume, then Excel would not try any longer to connect to the server.
One more question: is Excel trying to reach the server when you start your system or when you launch Excel?
If it happens at start up, then have a look, if Excel has been added to the start up items (System preferences -> accounts -> your account -> start up items) and remove it.
Quit Excel (with Option + Command + Q) if it is open and remove the loginwindow preferences: Navigate to Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.loginwindow.[xxxxxxxxx].plist
The [xxxxxxxx] represent some interminable string of numbers and letters.
If it happens at launch time, move the Excel preference file to the Desktop before you launch Excel. The file is locate here:
/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist.
If you keep your Library hidden, as it is by default, go to the System preference folder from the Finder menu: Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder (Or shift-cmd-G) and enter
"/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences"

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives. -
On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12
