Not connecting to CDDB server after upgrading to 7.7

This is the error message I get when trying to connect to iTunes store and even to get CD track names.
"Unable to connect to the CDDB server. The network connections timed out."
I have an internet connection and can browse without any problems. This occurred after I upgraded my iTunes software to the 7.7 version. I have tried most all possible solutions I have found online and still no success. I've tried allowing iTunes to work with the firewall, registering with Gracenote CDDB server, flushing the DNS settings, reinstalling iTunes, even tried to download an older version but then it does not recognize my iTunes library. I have restarted my computer multiple times over a span of 24 hours. I don't know what to do next. I'm trying to get more music for my ipod as I'm leaving for a trip soon.
Please help!

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting to the various services. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility and if necessary remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes (consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure).
Hope this helps.

  • TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

    iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep.  The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

    I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list.  That may solve it.

  • Popup LOV returns not found on this server after upgrading to APEX 3.2

    The Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value) does not work after upgrading to APEX 3.2 from APEX 3.0.
    Don't now if the character set is relevant.
    The database character set on APEX 3.0 was:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8MSWIN1252
    DAD CHARACTERSET: WINDOWS-1252
    APEX 3.2:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET:     AL32UTF8
    DAD CHARACTERSET:     UTF-8
    When clicking on the popup the message is "The requested URL /pls/apex31mb/wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list was not found on this server.".
    This error applies for both Firefox and IE.

    Can't reproduce the error on apex.oracle.com, the popup works fine.
    The only difference I notice on the environments is the database version (our: 10g, oracle.apex.com: 11g), but I can't see this have any influence.

  • Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

    While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
    I have internet access
    The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
    This is not a wireing issue.
    When I try to connect I get this message:
    "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
    The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
    There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
    I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • TS1398 can not connect to wi-fi after upgrading to os6

    Upgraded to OS6 on both Iphone 4s and Ipad2 and immediately can not connect to wi-fi. did all recommended fixes, ie. settings reset, power off and on etc... still no luck. My ipad is wi-fi only and doesn't do me any good if i can't connect.

    If your wifi is greyed out do the following:
    1) Put your phone on a plastic bag and then in the fridge (not the freezer!).
    Wait around 20 minutes to take it out.
    2) The moment you take it out reset your network settings.
    When the phone turns on, your wifi wont be greyed out.
    But...
    The problem you might have is that it wont pick up any networks at all. Which is my case.

  • My usb modem will not connect to the internet after upgrading to OS X. The modem is active and was issued an IP addreess. There apparently is a connection error between the modem and Safari. Any ideas would be welcomed

    MY USB modem will not connect to the Internet. The modem appears active on either USB ports and an IP address is assigned. The interface between the modem appears to be the problem. Any ideas?

    What did have you do if anything?
    I also tried to connect with an ethernet cord, and that too is not working.
    What were the results from the Network Diagnostic test when connected by ethernet?
    I've been searching online for hours and have found no solution that has worked.
    What were those solutions that did not work other than what you already mentioned?

  • Cannot re-connect to SL Server after upgrade to Lion

    Hi all,
    I faced a problem yesterday and I'm not sure what the reason could be.
    First:
    I have a Mini running SL Server for some time, all Open Directory users have mobile profiles.
    For testing purposes I disconnected my MBA from the OD on the server, removed all mobile users except the local admin, and started the Lion upgrade.
    After the successful (seemless!) upgrade I wanted to re-connect to the SL Server's OD.
    That's were I'm stuck: I always get something like "Cannot connect to xxxxx. Error: -2100" (free translation from the german message)
    Any idea what I was doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    After doing a lion server upgrade, i cannot logon to the server.app. asking me for administrator password but everything i type will not let me in.
    Has the upgrade messed with security settings ?
    Note: I can logon to the server direct ok, but i see this problem when clicking on the server app under applications

  • Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

    We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
    We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
    We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
    There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
    We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
    Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Outlook 2011 does not contact my kpn server after upgrading to mavericks

    Outlook is unable to contact my kpn server (mail) after i started using maverisck.
    Anyone else having the same problem and knows a solution for it?

    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • ITunes can not connect to remote speakers after upgrades

    I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and I am no longer able to connect to my remote speakers. I get a random error message when trying to connect. I've rebooted the airport station and modem. Didn't solve the problem.
    Can anyone help? I'm stumped...

    I have a MacBook, airport express and appletv. All three were working with airtunes on itunes 7 without issue. Since itunes 8, airport express works great, but the itunes keeps reporting that my appletv speakers are no longer available.
    Problem will occur on sleep/wakeup and whenever itunes decides it is angry, even though my appletv is listed on the bar and is syncing. Sometimes it will play for about 10 seconds and then the music stops, but itunes indicates it is still playing. Pause/play will sometimes resolve the issue, but other times will report the appletv speakers have disappeared, but itunes is still listing the apple tv. Rebooting appletv makes no difference.
    Workaround has been to restart itunes. For the music stopping after 10 seconds, if restarting itunes results in the same problem, reboot computer. My firewall is disabled, so my opinion .
    Also - I love the remote app on my touch, but when play fails due to a speaker error there is no feedback. Instead I get no music and after a delay the icon changes from pause to play again. Of course itunes was complaining about unavailable speakers. Someone should add some intelligence to report such errors to the remote.

  • Mac OS 8.6 Auto network connect to a server after reboot is not working

    We have multiple old blue and white systems on a network. All but one will automatically connect to the network when rebooted. I have gone into Chooser, Appletalk, put in the server IP address, put in the server password, checked the boxes that say remember Server name and password for next startup. I can connect at that time with no problem. When I reboot, the server does not automatically hook up. I have to go back into Chooser, etc. I created an alias on the desktop, but it still prompts me for a password to connect. I have performed a clean install of the Mac OS 8.6. It still does not connect to the server after reboot (after configuring all the settings again after the clean install). Please help..

    Hi,
