Messages "unable to connect to proxy. Try again"

hi,
I am no longer able to send or receive any files via messages on my desktop - im running OS X 10.8.4.
I haven't change any setting recently, its just started saying "unable to connect to proxy. Try again"
If i go to preferences in messages and server settings the server is api.oscar.aol.com and the port is 443 with Use SSL checked, connect using proxy is unchecked.
any suggestions?

Hi,
iChat and Messages are rubbish with Proxies. (but see 5th paragraph)
Older version of iChat had proxy settings you could make in the app itself (As in on the AIM account's pane)
It always did slightly better when set to use the "System Settings" if a proxy was in use.
In Messages this have been reduced.
See Messages > Preferences> Accounts > Aim account > Server Settings tab.
It is now a Tick Box and a "Use System Settings" box. There is nowhere to actually stick info.
IS the computer using a Proxy to access the Internet ?
Is it set up correctly in System Preferences > Network > (Advanced Button) > Proxies tab ?
As I have never run a Proxy my knowledge is limited after the point.
My Post reading habits/Methods.
Read Email alerts and visit new posts in threads I am already involved in.
After that go to Using Mountain Lion and filter "Messages" and read oldest Unread first.
Quick scan of page one from things that might be about Messages that were not marked for the filter.
Repeat for iChat Community.
Repeat if time for Lion Comunity > iChat and iChat Sharing filter.
Most days I do get all new posts.
(yesterday I didn't though).
Bumped posts can therefore get "Missed" for longer as they go up the Unread list.

TS1424 When I try to purchase a gift card I get the message "unable to complete purchase now try again later". How can I fix this?

When I try to purchase a gift card I get the message unable to complete purchase now try again later. This has been going on for a week and half. I've called support they say everything is fine, but when I try again same message comes up. How can I get this fix?

Have you tried the on-line iTunes store support staff: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html to see if they can resolve this?

I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

Unable to connect to server. try again

Hello,
since Friday, for the big folio (more 100 MO), I have the message : Unable to connect to server. Try again Yet.
any solution,

See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

For the last 2days when I attempt to rent a movie And my Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store I get a message can't connect to server, try again later. I can connect to Netflix, Hulu and all other services. Any help appreciated.

For the last 2 days when I try to rent a movie on my Apple TV the Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store and then I get a message saying Apple TV cannot connect to the server at this time. Please try again later. I have no trouble connecting to Netflix, Hulu or any of the other apps. I also have no trouble connecting to the iTunes Store using my iPhone or iPad. I have also tried restarting the Apple TV and my router. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

You should contact the developer of the game for assistance.

Using Bridge CS5 exporting to flickr get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again."?

using Bridge CS5 to exporting to flickr, but get error message "Unable to connect to Flickr, please check your internet connection and try again." please help?

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Ozy08,
Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.
Thanks,
Preran

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message keeps displaying whenever I try to open any Adobe CS5 applications (except for Adobe Acrobat Pro). It displays until I click "OK" about 15-20 times or so and then will finally let my program open.
I have tried deleting files within my Library/Preferences folder and turning off/deleting login items within my system preferences as other forums suggested but nothing happened. Spending 3.5 hours on the phone with Adobe and completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire CS5 Master Collection didn't work either.
Also, it may be helpful to know that my programs worked fine for about three weeks then when we got internet and changed the password (the join, not the adminstrative password) with the wireless network "ScubaSteve" (which I've used with no problems at my old apartment) it started acting up. I have never seen "rrnas01" before so I don't know at all where it came from. I also installed the free 30 day trial of Suitcase Fusion 3 recently, but thinking that could also be the cause I have uninstalled it, and still no help.
Please help me! And please keep in mind I don't know all the computer lingo that a lot of the people in these forums seem to know. Thanks in advance for ny help you can give me.

It may not be possible .. there is a major bug between Mountain Lion and the TC where the TC disk goes off the radar of the computer.
Lion is also affected but not as badly.
7.6.4 seems worse than earlier firmware.. so back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2 if that is possible.
Obviously that is not a solution for a later Gen5 TC.
Reset to factory after the firmware downgrade. .use all network names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
If the TC is the main router set the dhcp to a very short lease time.. eg 30min.. and see how it goes, or try a longer lease like 99days.
I prefer the very short lease but response has been mixed.
Use ethernet not wireless.. ethernet is always more reliable and stable than wireless.
And last .. a nightly electric timer that powers off every night at midnight for 1min.. would not be the first device we have suggested a fix that amounts to beat the unit to the punch by forcing it to reboot since it is unstable.

I rented a movie (dark shadows) but I can not see it, because a message appear "Problem loading...try again later". Is not a problem connection. I tried a lot of times to watch the movie and I didn't can.

I rented a movie (The Hobbit)...but it stops loading.
The movie costs CHF 7.50.
A phone call to the support team costs CHF 46.-- !!!!!
What do you think I will do?

Admin gets the following message while trying to update software: None of the selected updates could be saved. A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again. Any suggestions?

I'm the Adnin. just recently I tried to update system software (Lion OS). The following message was returned. None of the selected updates could be saved. A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again. but I have internet access )email, Safari, etc.). Any idea of what is happenening?

The error may be at Apple's end rather than yours. It could also be due to corrupted files on your computer. Try deleting the following:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Restart your computer.
