Since lion upgrade iMac keeps looking for old server

Hi,
I have a NAS prior to Lion upgrade which was working perfectly. Now with the Lion upgrade the NAS (Sitecom) ther were some issues. I have reinstalled the NAs and had given it a new name. I can find the NAs now so thats not a problem.
But almost every hour I get 2 warning that he can not find the "old NAS", it really start annoying me and I've looked everywhere and I don't even find any link (Finder) towards it so I don't know what to do to get rid of this message, receiving it every hour twice really start getting on my nerves.
Sorry for th Dutch, but the message translates;
A problem has occured with connecting to the server 'VanBeeckNAS'
The server doesn't exist or is currently not available. Check the servername or the IP-address of the server, ...
Any help is highly appreciated.
Peter

Same problem since lion. Not only can I not back up to the server it keeps looking for it several times on start up. Real annoying.

    Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
    Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
    802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.
    You may find the following ZDNet article interesting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=247
    Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

  • Can't complete wireless setup for new router. Printer keeps looking for old router.

    I'm not able to connect my printer to my new wireless modem. My printer continues to look for the older wireless modem. I'm using windows 8. In setup, when it gets to the window "change usb to wireless," my printer can't be found.  I printed out the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows that the new network is "discovered." On the Diagnostics Summary, the "Wireless On" and Wireless Working" passes, but "Network Name (SSID) Found" is Fail. 
    Where in Win8 can I find my router properties? I might can enter the printer WPS PIN there, but can't find it! Thank you for any help!

    @judyw217, Welcome to the forums!
    I hope to help you with the connection issues you're having when trying to connect your Deskjet F4580 to your "new network" as you now have a new router. I have a few ideas in mind that you can try to get started!
    First try power cycling the network devices. Sometimes all of the devices just need a restart!:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
    Now check to see if your SSID is found (your network).
    If the network is still not found, try running the Print and Scan Doctor on your computer to see if the tool can detect your printer and add it to the network.
    If the printer is still not connecting to your router, check your router settings. If you need assistance checking the router settings, contact your router provider. I will let you know which options you are looking to check:
    Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
    If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
    Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may connect to g).
    Turn Mac Filtering Off.
    Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
    Multicasting "on".
    Following ports need to be un-blocked:
    Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
    Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
    Just to add, here are instructions to help you with Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Deskjet F4580 and F4583 All-in-One Printers
    I hope this helps, let me know the outcome please!

  • New Mac Pro keeps looking for a server that isn't there

    So, I just got my new Mac Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) the other day.  I used MIgration Asssisant to transfer most files from my old Power Mac G5.   Computers were connected thru a hub.
    Then I turned on file sharing on the old machine to get some other info transferred.  I then shut down file sharing, physically disconnecting the hub and connecting the new Mac Pro to my DSL modem with an ethernet cable.
    Now when I boot up the new machine, I get a message
    "There was a problem connecting to the server  'Joe Blow's Power Mac G5'.
    "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and try again."
    I get this message three separate times ove a couple of minutes.
    Under the "Go" button in the Finder menu, I've clicked on  "Connect to server..." and cleared the old mac out of the list.
    What am I missing??
    Thanks

    Common causes of this issue include the following:
    Aliases in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server.
    Bookmarks in the Preview application.
    See iMovie Troubleshooting: Connection Failed, Server Does Not Exist
    Otherwise, proceed as below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Keep asking for old server

    This message appeared every 30 seconds.
    The server has been replaced and does not exist anymore, and I had checked my log-in items and even the time machine back-up, nothing I can find that connect to the captioned server. Anything else I can do?
    Cheers,
    ssslok

    Could be a permissions problem, so the licensing never can persistently verify the serial and create the necessary key files. Try creating another user account with admin privileges and run it from there, then check the settings on your existing account and the pertinent user data folders.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

    Have you tried Migration Assistant?

    This also works for Mavericks.

  • New iMac looks for old Mac tower

    I purchased a new iMac recently and used Migration Assistant to move my Documents folder over from my old G5 Tower. To the best of my memory, I did not use Migration Assistant to move system files or applications over to the iMac.
    Once I thought I had everything configured just right, 3 things occured where the new iMac was looking for the old G5 Tower:
    (1) at startup, a dialog twice appeared, indicating that the old G5 could not be found. I used the Accounts/Log In Items to disable start up items that were "unidentified." First problem solved.
    (2) When I try to print, the iMac looks for my old G5 when I first try to access a pulldown menu in the print dialog window, and after quite awhile an alert message appears indicating that the G5 server is unavailable. I've tried deleting all installed printers and then reinstalling them, to no avail.
    (3) In my folder windows, under the Places list, there is a favorite folder that is repeated twice, one that links to the "04_FT" folder on the new iMac, and an identically named item that does not function as a link (but a folder with this name did live on the old G5) and I'm unable to remove it from the list. When I Control click on it, the only option I get is to "Open Sidebar Preferences."
    I suspect that both (2) and (3) are similar "ghost" references back to the old G5, but I don't know how to remove them.
    I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions that the iMac community might have to offer.

    I would recommend starting over and instead of using Migration Assistant this time using Setup Assistant. They are cousins, similar but different. First SA is more reliable and second it will not create a second user account. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when  you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

  • Trying to restore from time capsule to nes hard drive, keeps looking for disks ! Can you help

    ccan't restore from time capsule to new hard drive, after changing to new HD, after calculating required space to restore it keeps looking for disks! Have have put original OS X  install disk 1 in it won't Eject , any help

    The very best way to do this is with ethernet to the existing router. Put the TC in bridge mode manually.
    Then plug it in to existing router.. we recommend LAN router to WAN on the TC but even that is not 100% necessary.
    If you want to link by wireless, to a non-apple router that is bad.. recommend strongly against it. Join a wireless network is super slow.
    If you have a desktop Mac you can plug it directly into the Mac by ethernet.
    But we need to know how the Mac is connected to internet.
    I have given some info on one layout here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    If you end up relying on an old TC. And any of the models from Gen1-3.. and increasingly Gen4 have all reached EOL.. they can die suddenly and either take your files with them or be hard to recover. Also a TC is slow cf a USB external drive even, which is more reliable. Considering a 2TB is <$100 I would be careful using an old TC simply because you got it free.

  • Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue.

    Screen saver won't start since Lion upgrade. Two different machines, same issue. Help

    For anyone following this thread, I've found a solution to my problem. Turns out that a cute widget called FishTank appears to be the culprit. With it running in Dashboard (even when I don't see Dashboard) the Screensaver and Sleep functions don't work. I turned it off, not because I'm clever, just because I tired of it, and voilà, Screensaver and Sleep are now working. It can stay in my widgets list without any problem, it just can't be turned on. I'm going to delete it anyway, however.
    Hope this points the way to solutions for some of the rest of you!
    Cheers!

  • Macbook air keeps 'looking for networks'

    My Macbook Air keeps 'looking for networks', and the upload speeds are slow -- should be 50 plus, are 25-30 mps.
    Upstairs, my iMac gets 60mps upload and 30 mps download.  So Verizon is providing what they promise, its just
    that the MacBook Air seems to have a bit of a problem.
    Verizon has done what they could to tweek the system, and it make make a small improvement -- from 20 to the 25-30 mps.
    The tech suggested, politely, it was time to talk to Apple, and I will make a Genius appt.
    But I was wondering if other with MacBook Airs had had this problem of the computer constantly 'searching for netsworks'.
    Thanks,
    Hal

    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced then select the Wi-Fi tab.
    Drag your network to the top of the list.
    Select:  Remember networks this computer has joined
    Click OK.
    Keep in mind, everytime you click the AirPort icon in the status menu bar, it will automatically "look" for networks.

  • HT201250 I had turned off the time machine auto back up and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even though the time capsule is shown, do I have to set it up again as an initial?

    I have been using the time capsule to back up both my iMac and recently added MacAir, it has been working fine but recentlky I had turned the time machine off on the Macair and now when I try to turn it back on it keeps looking for a disk even if I select the time capsule. Do I have to start the backup for the Macair as a new backup?

    That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

  • Laptop keeps looking for previous migration machine at start up

    Every time I start my machine it keeps looking for my previous laptop which was used to migrate my information. This slows the start up down considerably. It seems to think that this is a server I want to connect to by default and says it is not, understandably, available.
    Is there any way to stop this? Thanks

    I started in Safe Mode and the problem didn't happen, which was good. However when I returned to normal mode it was back again. I have a Time Capsule which mounts whenever I start up so I also tried starting in normal mode without the wi-fi on to take this out of the equation, but again the machine was still looking for the missing machine.
    Since it will startup in safe mode, that tells you that there is some third party software that is attempting to startup in normal that is causing the problem. So now that you know that, you are going to have to start looking at what third party software is causing your problems.
