It took about 5 minutes of a spinning wheel and finally said "oops there was a problem you have NOT been charged" so I noticed two itunes store reciepts and a dip in my credit balance of over $50. Trying to report a problem doesnt seem to work for me, the button isnt available for some reason and i cant submit a help ticket. If anyone has had experience in this matter please help me!
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
Hi
I got this message whenever I start Skype in windows 8.1, I do not know how to fix it, I do not know how to fill user name and password...
It just show this message whenever I start Skype...
Any help please?
Thank youDoes no-one from MS/Skype feel it might be sensible to respond to this issue?!?
A customer of mine has now given up trying to call me because I can't log into skype.
Same issue as above - I can log onto skype.com but it wouldn't let me log in to windows 8 app and insisted I added my windows account and then won't let me log in, giving me the wonderful oops ... there was a problem error message.
Don't you just love when startups get the Enterprise-grade robustness from being part of serious companies like Microsoft... -

Excel won't open and error message There was a problem sending the command to the programe
Hi there
I'd be grateful for your help.
I've just bought a new laptop and installed Office 2013. I used Excel 2013, did what I needed to do and saved it. This was 5 days ago.
Today, I've tried opening the file from my desktop and get the error message 'There was a problem sending the command to the program'.
And when I try to open Excel to do the DDE fix, which seems to be the best suggestion, I can't open Excel at all. I've tried to get into it from the Apps screen.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
ThanksDon't seem like this can be fixed so I went back to version 6.0.2 which works good.
I have Chrome now as my default browser and will not use fire fox until they fix it!
Chrome works great! -
I noticed this week an exclamation mark on the time machine icon on the menu bar.
My Macbook, iPad and iPhone all connect to the network but i get "there was a problem connecting to the server..."
When I open the preferences the time capsule is off but turnign it back on sends me in a loop of selecting the Time Capsule device (which has a nice green light etc) and then getting the error messgae about being unable to connect. I've pulled the plug a couple of times (this has worked in the past) but no change.
Any advice would be welcome before I try a factory reset or have to return to Apple for repair (the one thing they are offering as the thing is only 5 months old)I also noticed that when I go to finder I see two MacBook Air's that are in my name but have the number (2) and (3) next to the name.
That is a well known bug in Yosemite.
Try open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Edit back to the correct name for your Mac
This may...or may not help. But, it won't hurt.
The Mac's name may stay stable....or you may see (2), (3), etc again soon.
Be sure to restart both your Mac and the Time Capsule after you do this. -

Anyone else have this problem?
Purchased version of Windows 32 bit version of Acrobat XI update will not install properly or work.
First error info message is as per title after initial red screen which only appears once.
Second error info message is verify operation failed.
2 downloads, 3 installs and 2 repairs produce same result.
Adobe Australia called three times on 1800614863 but only automated selections 322323 made and transfer promised.
First call at 0901 local time.
All calls placed on hold first two timed out.
31 minutes into third call got an answer from a man in India.
In answer to my question:
Are you receiving reports of problems installing purchased upgrade versions of Acrobat XI Pro?
The answer was No.
He took details of messages and offered to help but I declined.
I have purchased and used all Acrobat Pro upgrades since 6.
Complete installation attempted.
Being done on a clean install of Windows XP SP3 on an OQO02 with only other program installed Office 2007 SBE.
Message was edited by: OQOroger to reflect inability to connect to seller Adobe Australia. Also Adobe site can't stay on Australia but reverts to USA. Full price of $A282 paid. USA purchasers only pay $US199 ($A191.57 at present exchange rates.) Credit card account already debited for purchase made yesterday. Subject line corrected 'as' changed to 'was'.
Message was edited by: OQOroger Corrected the price paid and currency conversion amount to show extra paid by Australians for 'local' support (from India). Added 'Message -' to title to make it less cryptic.
Message was edited by: OQOroger Typical setup installation results in same problems except
'There was a problem reading this document (57)'
window does not appear.
First window displaying and asking for acceptance of license conditions has no bottom section when first displayed so there is no way to accept these conditions except to close this window (confirm window appears) and launch program again when bottom panel is displayed.Despite my advice of some of the many faults I have experienced with Acrobat XI Pro, Adobe support has never asked me to provide a 'Systems Report' which is available under the 'Help' tab.
This report indicates:
'Installed Acrobat: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
Version: 11.0.0.379

So if anyone has a working version other than 379 please let me know.

I can easily see 2 matters which an inexperienced support desk staff member could home in on.
Acrobat XI Pro system requirements include
1024x768 screen resolution and
Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, or 10; Firefox Extended Support Release; Chrome
Well my OQO report above includes
Display Detail:
Screen Width: 800

and leaves blank
Default Browser:
(actually Firefox 17.0.1)
Yet 'Firefox Extended Support Release' is described by
Mozilla:
'Who is it not for?
Individual users who always want the latest features, performance enhancements and technologies in their browser without waiting for them to become available in ESR several development cycles later.'

(I did not bother installing plug-ins and deactivated installation before removal of program.)
With 5 installs producing the same error reports, I am convinced Acrobat XI Pro won't work for me on my computers and have little confidence of useful support from Adobe.
THERE ARE SO MANY GLARING PROBLEMS WITH MY INSTALLATIONS WITH THE SUPPORT DESK'S RESPOSES UNHELPFUL AND UNINFORMED. I REALLY DON'T ENJOY DOING ADOBE'S QUALITY CONTROL FOR THEM FOR FREE, BUT I CONTINUE TO POST HERE IN THE HOPE THAT SOMEONE WITH REAL AUTHORITY WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE NOTICE AND ARANGE A FIX OF THE PROBLEMS.

Alert- although ordered in Australia from Australian site and paid in Australian dollars by MasterCard, Adobe chose without warning to process this payment through an overseas account incurring an extra foreign transaction charge for me.
Adobe support to date has been of no use and their billing practices unreasonably expensive. -
There was a problem connecting to the server (...)
Hello, all. First time posting here, so I'd like to greet the community.
I've been having this small problem for some months and never managed to fix it. I've searched the forums countless times and found many discussions related to the same message, but with different causes and solutions. None of them applied to my case.
Every time I open Mail preferences, my system freezes for a few seconds and a message pops up stating "There was a problem connecting to the server (...)":
I believe this has to do with the fact that, when I first bought my MacBook, I added a custom sound on the New Messages Sound preference that was stored on a hard-drive connected to my home network. Eventualy, I did copy said sound file to my MacBook and selected it as my custom sound for new mails, removing the previous one from my list of custom sounds. Still, once I disconected this hard-drive from my home network, I started receiving the mentioned message. It must still be searching for the sound file that was stored on the server, regardless of the fact that it's no longer selected as my new messages sound or added as a custom sound.
What's annoying about this is the fact that, ever since then, every time I receive a new email, the sound plays long after the notification alert pops up. Not really a serious issue, but I'd like to know how to solve it.
Many thanks in advance!Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
There was a problem connecting to the server "10.0.1.30"
In the last couple of days I have started getting the error "There was a problem connecting to the server “10.0.1.30”" popping up on the screen. Nothing to my knowledge has changed and I have no devices on my LAN that have an IP address in this range. All devices IP addresses are 192.168.20.1xx and my router's IP address is "10.106.75.57", subset mask "255.255.255.255", gateway "10.106.75.57", DNS "10.5.80.241 , 10.5.68.232" (Router is NetComm NF2 with attached AirCard 320U USB 3G/4G modem).
A couple of weeks ago I switch from using a Sierra (NetGear) Aircard 760S Hotspot Modem (default IP address of 10.0.0.138) using the AirCard Hub wireless router (IP address 10.0.1.1) to the NetComm router AirCard modem combination.
If I Ping "10.0.1.30" the results are as follows:
"PING 10.0.1.30 (10.0.1.30): 56 data bytes

This error message is annoying, but apart from that everything appears to be working just fine. Is there a way of tracking down what is attempting to call 'server"10.0.1.30"' and stoping it. I.E. is there a quick and simple fix?

Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
System Version: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be hard to resolve. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. A known offender is "AdobeResourceSynchronizer," which is a component of some Adobe products. See also this discussion.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
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. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, and bookmarks in the Preview application.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Step 8
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and /Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 9
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window. -
There was a problem connecting to the server "...iMac"
I keep getting the error message, "There was a problem connecting to the server ..."iMac." I have Mavericks 10.9.2 on both my Macbook Pro and my iMac. The Macbook is the system having issues. I've seen "fixes" for Time Machine for Lion. I have addressed this, and it does not seem to be the problem. I've deleted all servers from the list, unmounted Time Machine and turned it off and back on again to refresh the settings, turned sharing off and back on.
Any Mavericks ideas out there?The subject of the discussion you linked to is unrelated.

Print error - there was a problem connecting to the server - spinning beach ball
This has happened pre-yosemite and since. It used to only happen at home but now also happens at work. Every time I try to print, I get a spinning beach ball and a long delay until I get an error message saying there was a problem connecting to the server. At home, after clicking OK, I get a second spinning beach ball session with same error. Once I click OK second time, I get print window and can print. At work, it's only one session of spinning beach ball. The office problem occurred after upgrading to yosemite. I've deleted and added the printers without resolution. I've repaired permissions. The home problem has been going on for at least a year, probably a couple. Using a macbook pro.
There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve without wiping your account clean of everything except documents as a last resort. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
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. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
Step 8
Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
Step 9
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
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.
Step 10
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 11
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window. -
There was a Problem connecting- on iMac
Hello,
I continuously getting the following Error on my iMac:
"There was a problem connecting to the server "my MacBook Pro" The Server may not exists or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and try again."
I didn't do anything, so this is very annoying. I already tried some things, like deleting the entries in the key chain. Noting worked.

I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
