MAC, There was a problem connecting to the server
A client sent a PDF containing links to their internal server, when opening it you are asked if you want to connect to the server, by mistake they clicked yes(of course it won’t connect as they are different companies)
Now every hour through the day I get a message popping up saying
can anybody help in how to stop this please?
thanks in advanceDoes this error come up when the file isn't even open?
You may want to check the Mac Finder to see if 'grace' is appearing at the top-left and to disconnect if possible. -
New Mac wants to talk to dead Mac "There was a problem connecting to the server"
Got a new iMac - it's great. However, when I start up, it still wants to talk to my long-gone Mac Pro (see message below). I have to click "OK" about a half-dozen times as it reappears.
This message will also come up when I open my Livescribe Desktop software.
Is there a simple way to track the source of this, and make the iMac "forget" its dead descendant?
Thanks!Sorry - I wanted to clck "helped me" AND "solved my question, because it certainly did.
I had mistakenly thought that checking a login item eliminated it from opening at startup; WRONG - it just "hides" it.
I got rid of all of the "vestage" items (stuff from old Mac that cannot be located now, with the "!" symbol to the right of it's title), and now I restart unmolested.
Thank you, Linc! -
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. -
Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion, on MacBookPro, recurring (every minute or so) error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network conneection, and then try again." (The server specified is no longer connected or used). The error message must be clicked twice to continue to work on the computer. Time Machine is switched off. No external disks are connected. Keychain entries for "servername" have been removed since the problem arose. Is there any way to prevent this error message?
I am having the same problem; have tried deleting some of the plist files as others suggested but to no avail. Tried turning off time machine - that didn't fix it either. Very dispappointing.

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. -
I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.
I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help. -
I was having problems connecting to my app store and safari, any games or anything that required going out to a server. I rebooted my wireless several times it is working and it shows a signal on my iPad so it was suggested I go into settings and do a reset. I have done this and it still is not working. the error message when I try to sign in with an Apple ID is "there was a problem connecting to the server". I even get this when I am connected directly to my computer through Itunes
Any suggestions?Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -

Installed OSX 10.9.5 on three MacBookPRO's now all of them have lost access to our Windows 2003 Server. I get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server "SERVER". Note this was previously connecting with 10.9.4.
I understand 10.9.5 was giving us improvements in the reliability of SMB2 but this is now much worse.

since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Not a nice answer!
Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do. -
I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

I keep getting an error message saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported" Can someone help me locate and get rid of this error.
Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.
