Server stating client not connected even though it is on

We often have trouble where the server will state the computer is not connected even though it is on. Sometimes restarting the local service will cause the server to see it connected again. Most time we need to reboot the machine altogether.
Is there a way to force the server to recheck if the computer is connected. A command on the server or the remote pc?

What setting do you have for how often the Collection Client checks in? Default is 180min and that time differential could be your gap for when it updates status.
Just a thought.

Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

A new version of Firefox, which downloaded automatically, says Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections, even though I had access before the download.

I was using Firefox earlier in the day with no problem. About half an hour ago I tried to get on the Internet using Firefox (as always). When I did, I was greeted with a little dialog box showing that something was downloading. That's happened before.
This time, though, I was greeted by an error page that said Firefox was configured to use a proxy server that's refusing connections.
I'm not on a network. I have a desktop computer that connedts to a wireless modem that I share only with my wife. I didn't change my settings on either. Neither did my wife.
My "Connection Settings" box still says "use system proxy settings." There are no entries in the manual settings boxes.
I want to emphasize that I changed *nothing.*
I need to know, please, how I can set my computer to get back onto the Internet or, failing that, how I can go back to the previous version of Firefox.
Thank you very much.
Bob Murdich

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

Internet-required apps not connecting (even though internet works!)

Hi, just purchased a shiny new iMac 27inch after my old faithful G5 tower finally went to the great PC in the sky.
Enjoying the experience immensely but have a big problem with bootcamp.
I installed xp service pack 2 via bootcamp and after hundreds of microsoft updates it is now sitting at the most up to date version of xp.
I wanted to do two things with xp initially - install AVG free and steam (both of which I happily run on my windows pc). Problem is that with both applications I get a warning message saying that the app cannot connect without an internet connection.
Now, I do indeed have an internet connection which is running fine. I have tweaked and turned windows firewall completely off - they already have exceptions selected for steam and avg anyway - but still get the same problem.
I have removed both apps several times - and reinstalled - but no joy. Incidentally, normally you would get the startup program for AVG from the internet which then requires the internet connection to download the full program, but found a link to do this direct instead - as I had the same problem with the startup problem. I haven't yet tried, but I would suspect that this may well apply to all applications that need an online update.
I was wondering if this is a problem noted previously, but also if this was something that I may have to alter via the Mac OS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, thought I would answer this one myself after I realised what was wrong. The issue was with a faulty and incomplete installation of zonealarm. In fact it was so incomplete that it didn't even appear as any visible files on the hard drive!
First of all I tried to reinstall ZA which brought up an error saying that I couldn't install over the previous version because of an error and I should restart (helpful!)
Of course, restarting didn't do anything to help. So in the end it was a case of going to ZA's support pages to get help and performing some core file removals in safe mode. Don't worry - all clear instructions are available.
So, in the end, this issue was down to a rogue and somewhat zealous installation.
I'm now connected to the internet and steam is happily downloading.
woo hoo!

I can't get my printer to print. It says printer not connected even though I connected it earlier and it printed once.

What kind of printer is it? Did you look at the "More Like This" sidebar?

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

Hi Marc,
If you are having issues with printing from your iMac I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
Specifically -
Troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue
Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system (see below). Then, add the printer again.
If the issue persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

TS1398 my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

my iphone 4s can not scan any wifi network, i tried everything but still can not scan any wifi connection even though our wifi is working properly in our mac book and ipad. What do i need to do if the problem is the hardware?pls help

When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?

I didn't update my phone 4s or my iPad 3 to iOS 8, so why are they not loading anything and telling me that i need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected

I didn't update my iPhone 4s or my iPad 3 to the iOS 8 and neither one will load anything, the iPad tells me I need a wi-fi connection even though it's connected. Why am I having this trouble? I can't update any apps, load Facebook or safari. Help

Hey ramonafromtuttle,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty with Wi-Fi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network. Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running?

I have downloaded itunes, however everytime I open it up deos not detect my internet connection even though it is running. I can goto other sites when I open up explorer, but itunes just will not connect. Could someone assist? I have windows 7.

Set it up with SMB compliant names.. that means, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
Set security to WPA2 personal with pure alphanumeric password.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.
Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to manual and try channels 11, 6, 1 in that order.

Hi lepyykko,
If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right? The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer. Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

Possibly there's a firewall in the router. For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
You will need administrative access to the router. If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again. If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again. Repeat as required.

I have set up Time Capsule to use with Time Machine but when I open Time Machine it 'cannot find' the Time Capsule and I have to 'Select the Disk' each time. In the Next Backup tab it always says "When disk is connected" even though the disk is already connected.

Your pro doesn't matter.. I presume it is happily working.
Your imac setup has got messed up because you changed from a local (my book being USB type I presume) to network drive. Did you do a clean install of Lion?
Did you use the backup from the Pro on the imac? Otherwise I don't see how the Pro shows up in use previous disk. Where is Pondini when you need him??
You cannot download Time Machine as an App and replace the current version. It is built into the OS.. the only way to do it is a clean install. Unfortunately that might be the only way around the issue.
There is a number of issues that Pondini has covered in the setup issues of troubleshooting.
This is the most relevant I think. http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html
But look at the whole section B setup problems.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If it was me, I would store all the info you need.. not using TM but using a straight copy of files.
Then clean install Lion. I doubt any of these issues would exist if you had not installed Lion over existing setup or used a different backup.
See if you can get Pondini to respond.. !!

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails
