Nortel VPN connects and disconnects immediately. Error 6699 with PPTP

Hi All,
I am using OS X Mavericks on my mac. I tried to connect to PPTP internet connection using the default client and paid clients like Shimo.I get connected and after a minute I get disconnected with 6699 error. I read a lot of discussions about this issue and I realised this issue exists from Pather days. Please help me out with this if you have a working solution.

Hi, might try this after reading about that error, I think it may fix it...

    did all the resets and still wifi connects and disconnects , plz help

    I upgraded Apple TV late last week. Last weekend I rented a couple of movies from Apple TV. I watched one immediately, and was going to watch the other one the next day. On Sunday I opened up Apple TV to watch the film, and..... NOTHING THERE. I could see 'purchased movies', 'top movies', etc., at the top of the bar, but no mention of rentals. Even the film I'd watched (which obviously you can see for 48 hours) had disappeared into a black hole in Apple TV. I have been charged for these movie, and sent in a complaint.
    My airplay seemed to be fine, but.... last night, my computer was not seeing an Apple TV or showing an airplay sing, so I restarted and the Apple TV and airplay sign returned. If I chose to watch the film on the computer it started up immediately, if I chose airplay, I got the first image of the film and the loading sign going on and on (round and round) forever. The film never started. I restarted my Apple TV, the same. I restarted the computer, the same. I tried with various programmes and no go.
    iMore has the following suggestion. I am not sure if this will help. It sounds a PIA, but if I can't get airplay to work, I might try it: http://www.imore.com/how-restore-2nd-or-3rd-generation-apple-tv-back-factory-set tings-itunes

  • My iPhone connects and disconnects repeatedly with Macbook Pro

    As of this morning, everytime I connect my phone to my computer it rapidly connects and disconnects. After searching the web far and wide I've only come up with dead ends. Before today it worked fine, I don't think it's the cord because it works when i tried it with another computer and works when I charge my phone with the wall charger (which I'm forced to do now). Error messages have popped up like 0xE8000001 and 0XE8000065. If anyone could help that's be awesome.

    I had to restore the phone to factory settings. Turn it off (press & hold sleep/wake button) and then plug it it to your computer while pressing the home button. Even at that stage the phone might keep disconnecting and reconnecting occasionally. I acctually had to do it on a mac running 10.6.8. My laptop is on 10.7.3 and it would not stay connected long enought for the restore to finish. However, once it was done, my iphone was on 5.1.1 and working perfectly. Hope this helps.

  • IPod Classic won't sync to new computer and repeatedly connects and disconnects

    i have recently been issued a new laptop (lenovo thinkpad X230i, windows 7) and want to sync my existing iPod Classic to it. i set up iTunes (11) without any problems, however my ipod t appear in My Computer or in my iTunes library.
    I've tried everything suggested in 'iPod troubleshooting' but nothing seems to work.
    also when i plugged it into my old computer, to which my ipod is currently synced, an error message appeared saying that 'a file could not be found', the iPod also repeatedly connects and disconnects.
    if anyone has had the same problem or has some advice it would be greatly appreciated!

    Sorted it now.

  • My ipod keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer

    I've tried everything, first my ipod kept displaying the folder with the exclamation mark, then a couple of days ago started working again. It then wouldn't play any songs and just kept skipping. So I plugged it into my computer to restore it so I could start again. Now its displaying the folder with the symbol again, and just keeps connecting and disconnecting all the time so I can't do anything to it. Keep trying the ipod updater but says it cant mount ipod.
    Any ideas????

    Hello all,
    I've been experiencing the same problem, but have managed to get it sorted.... well sort of.
    As Jen's problem, I had the exclamation mark and after unsuccessfully trying to update etc decided to leave it out of frustration.
    A day or so later it started to work again, great!!!
    A few days of problem free use then I got the sad Ipod screen.
    After checking the website I've restored and I'm now a week later and still trying to get my music from Itunes onto my Ipod.
    The problem now, once again very similar to Jen's is that my Ipod only seems to connect to my PC for period of time and then disconnects, sometimes updating a few songs.
    I get different 'Unknown Error' messages usually -124.
    I've tried with both USB and Firewire connections and even when my Ipod disconnects it still charges, so it's not the port at fault.
    Can't help but think it's the actual Ipod which is causing me this hassle and musicless journeys!!!
    Any ideas?

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    Please complete or update your system profile so the users here can properly help you.  We don't even know which model iPod Nano you have!!!

  • Problems when connecting and disconnecting MBP and TBD

    Hello,
    I have problems with connecting and disconnecting my macbook pro retina 13" to my thunderbolt display. Everytime I disconnect my MBP form my TBD with the lid closed it takes approximately 10 seconds until my MBP has recognized that the TBD is no longer connected and the MBP screens turns on.
    On the other hand I also have a problem when I reconnect my MBP to my TBD. Approximately every second time my MBP does not recognize that the TBD is connected again and neither the MBP nor the TBD turns on. The small light on the power cabel of my TBD does not light up. It is as the TBD would'nt have any power. Pushing buttons on my Apple Bluethooth doesnt help. I have to disconnect and reconnect the thunderbolt and the power connector a coupl of times until the MBP finally recognizes the TBD and turns on. In some cases a different background picture is shown on the TBD than the one I usually have on my MBP.
    The problem is very annoying especially because I connect and disconnect both devices and it really costs time.
    I really hope there's someone who can help with the problem. Do you think this may be hardware problem of my MBP or TBD?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    HI there,
    The first thing I would recommend is checking for any new software updates while using the display, this will check for any available firmware updates for the display. If you continue to experience issues, then you may want to take a look at the article below for some further troubleshooting steps.

    When I try to connect the Air with my iPhone to create an Hotspot, it drops the connection and gives an error message in the iPhone saying that the device (MacBook Air) is not supported. What can i do about it?

    The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports.  Any suggestions?
    MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

    Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.

    Where exactly did you get this phone?
    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    There are 2 primary causes for this.
    Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it.

  • IPhone 4s connects and disconnects from Windows 8

    Apologies if this has been asked before as i'm sure it has but I can't find a solution.
    I have a new HP Compaq laptop using USB 3.0, when I connect my IPhone 4s to my laptop it connects and disconnects every seconds, I've looked in the device manager and can't find anything to do with Apple in there.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

  • Every time I connect and disconnect my iphone/ipad windows vista opens windows media player in the background.  It then hogs all of my cpu.  Does this happen to anyone else?

    I am running iOS 4.3.5 and this has been going on for months now.  I need to keep my task manager open to kill the task when I connect and disconnect my iphone or ipad.  It hogs all of my cpu, sometimes opening 2 or 3 windows media players.

    Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
    I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
    I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!
