Problems importing - cannot connect

Hi
Im having problems importing pics into iPhoto .. basically my library worked fine up til recently. I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network. This worked fine until I recently renamed my wifi for unrelated reasons.. now, I cannot view a pic full size within iPhoto as it tries to connect to 192.168.0.2 (the PC) and cannot. Now, this address is fine, I can manually connect to a server, so i'm wondering if iPhoto has some hidden logon settings somewhere?
To complicate matters further, eve if i store photos locally on the mac HD they fail to import with the same "connection failed..." error - even though it should not be going to the network folder!
Help!
Jon

I house my photos on a PC server and use iPhoto to organize them by importing them over my wifi network.
So you were running a Referenced Library where the files are not copied to the Library on import? In this scenario iPhoto makes an alias to the actual location of the files. Unfortunately aliases are very limited and once the path to the files changes - especially when the files are on different volume - you're going to have trouble.
Some folks have had success using an app like [FileBuddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy> to reattach broken aliases, however, I've no idea as to its capabilities across a wireless network to an PC server.
I suspect the problem importing is also related to the same problem. When iPhoto imports a pic it does a Duplicate Check against files already in the Library and if it cannot connect to them well then it cannot do the check, and then it won't import.
A simple test will confirm (or undermine) my suspicion: create a new Library (Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library') and see if you can import to it.
Bluntly, iPhoto's abilities to run Referenced Libraries across volumes are poor. I wouldn't use it in that scenario. For the set up you describe Aperture is a much more robust option.

IPad iOS 4.2.1 WIFI problems (Server cannot connect)

my iPad is experiencing problems where after 5 minutes of browsing pages stop loading and I get an error saying cannot connect to server. any ideas? my router is lnksys and this is getting really annoying to renew cache evey 3 minutes.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
One solution that has helped some users of Linksys and Belkin routers in particular is to power cycle the router. Make sure it is completely shutdown, not just reset.
Then reset the network in the iPad.
And if the problem persists, change channels in the router, there may be interference from another network causing part of the problem.

Batch import - cannot connect to server

Hi All

All your inputs are welcome !!
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I am using importMangerBatch version 5.5 <b>SP4</b>. that could be the reason I could not connect to server..as I am working on MDM 5.5 SP5.
I searched on market place for SP5 version of ImportManagerBatch.But I could only find installable for SP4..
Do you have any idea where can I find SP5 version for the same if at all it is available?
your opinions suggestions are welcome !!
Thanks

Problem importing Adobe Connect recording into Captivate 6.0

Hello,
Not having found something about this via search, I'm asking the question. I am in tech support for University of Missouri-Extension and we use Connect and create many recordings for later share. I am able to import these FLV recordings into Captivate 5.0, but not 6.0 which we've just purchased. I get the message; "Video encountered an internal error." Is this a known problem with a work-around, or something new? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Steve

Hi Steve,
Do you have audio in these recordings? If yes, can you try and use Adobe Media Encoder to encode these to a different format and then try re-importing.
You should be able to import the file this way, however, you audio might not come across.
Sorry about, we have shared the problem ahead.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Macbook Pro Cannot Connect to SMTP

I am running a 2010 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. I use Mac Mail app to send and receive e-mail. Since Thursday 27th Dec 2012 I have been unable to send e-mail. I get the grey spinning wheel until the following error message appears:
The SMTP connection to server “mail.(mydomain).co.uk” failed.
My outgoing mail server is currently showing as offline. In fact I have 2 e-mail accounts and both are showing as offline. No problem receiving mail. Connection doctor connects fine to incoming mail, but not outgoing.
I have tried the following (plus other things) without any success:
Checked all the details, passwords etc
Changed ports from 25 to 465 and 587
Checked my IP address - it is not blacklisted
Removed and re-added e-mail account
Telnet port 25 - it is not blocked, but appeared to successfully connect (from what I understood from checking www)
Temporarily disabled firewall
Re-installed Mac app
Rebuilt mailbox
Repaired disk permissions
Used the repair disk utility
Deselected SSL and changed various options within "Edit SMTP server list"
Reset the keychain
Tried updating software but it says no update available.
Re-instated an old Accounts.plist (and one other file which I forget, something like com.apple.mail) from time capsule.
I then set up a hotmail account on Mail app but had exactly the same problem, ie cannot connect with SMTP server.
However, I set up my e-mail account on my wife's iPad with the same details and there was no problem at all, e-mail sent just fine as it does from my iPhone. So the issue has to be with my Macbook, right? Can anyone help before I go and spent £1250 on a new Macbook? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Cannot connect to Internet even though the BT Hub ...

Really wacky this - I can see the connection no problem but cannot connect to the internet. Other laptops in the house work ok with the hub. No problem connecting with ethernet cable or by tethering to moblie. Running out of ideas. Everything seems to be set up the same on at least one other laptop. Both have BT Net Protect Plus and both have Windows 8. Laptop was ok connected well until I had to reinstall Windows 8.

Hi thanks for reply
I've checked again just now using ethernet connection and get the message: The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Windows has detemined that the driver software for your device is up to date.

I-net oranxo driver problem. cannot connect

Hi, im new to the j2ee programming communitty and i was trying to use the i-net type 4 driver to connect to an oracle database. The service name of the oracle database is orcl. i know that the host is the local host, and im pretty sure that the port number is 1521. i dont think i changed it. unfortunately i dont know how to change it. if you could tell me a way to change it once i have already installed it, i would appreciate it.
my code for this problem is
import java.sql.*;
public class testDB{
public static void main(String args[])
     new testDB();
testDB()
     try{
          Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:inetora:localhost:1521:orcl", "scott", "tiger" );
          new com.inet.ora.OraDriver();
          CallableStatement cstmt = con.prepareCall("{call procone(?,?,?)}");
          cstmt.setInt(1,6619211);
          cstmt.setString(2,"Java");
          cstmt.setInt(3,22);
          cstmt.execute();
          con.close();
          }catch(Exception x){
                    System.out.println("exception: "+x);
the error its giving me is the following
com.inet.ora.ORA3SQLException: [OraDriver] Connection Refused:Connect
Anyone know why theres a problem. im sorry i know its probably a dumb question but i cant figure this out.

re: Oracle database and listener:
Oracle does not do things in a simple way. I'll explain things using Oracle's terminology (which I didn't use earlier).
To Oracle, the collection of data-storage (files or devices) that actually has the data is the "database", without regard to any program code or running process.
To Oracle, the memory structures and process (or threads on some OSes) normally used to access a database is called an "instance". (In casual speech, most people call the "instance" the "database"; usually the distinction doesn't matter).
You can have a database without an instance (the program isn't running), an instance without a database (the database hasn't been created or you're using a special Oracle feature called ASM), or you can have multiple instances for one database (an Oracle RAC cluster).
You cannot connect directly to an Oracle instance via a TCP/IP connection (which is normally what a JDBC driver will use, although there are other ways). Instead, Oracle has another program, called the "listener" that brokers connection requests; your program talks to the listener on port 1521 and the listener arranges for your program and the database to connect. The database might actually be on another computer but almost never is, except with RAC clusters or failover configurations. So the listener has to be running for most JDBC programs to work.
SQL*Plus can connect to a database instance via TCP/IP, which requires the listener; however, SQL*Plus can also connect to a database instance that is on the same computer via inter-process communication, which does not require the listener. Stopping the listener process and connecting via SQL*Plus is a common way of putting a database into "maintenance mode", where only the database administrator can make changes to the DB.
The standard Oracle installation will install everything and set up the listener and have it autostart on boot and everything else needed. However, people sometimes disable things they think they don't need, so it's not unheard of for people to turn off the listener becaus they think they don't need it. Or sometimes there's an error and the listener fails to start...

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store (iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004))?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.
