Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box

hi there -
2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?

as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
you may want to back up any important files just in case.
if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive.

  • I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

    Hi to the Mac Folks,
    I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
    I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5.  The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices  There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
    Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
    Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
    Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

    Hey,
    if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders.  You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

  • Safari is not able to open this page because it can not find the server.

    I too need help with this problem with my Ipod touch. Currently, I am in the Ukraine, go to a wifi cafe, access the wifi and get a clear powerful signal. Then I try to load the Google page, any page from my bookmark or write the web address in and I receive the same message; "Safari can not open this page because it can not find the server." Something is wrong with my settings and I tried to reset the options but it does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    The 169.254.xxx.xxx address indicates that there is a problem with DHCP server in your BT Digital Hub (Home hub?) because the iPod is taking a default IP rather than been given a suitable one. At the moment the iPod is not even in the same subnet as the router so it's no wonder that Safari can't find the Internet.
    Ensure that the DHCP server is on and that you have an IP-address pool sufficiently large to serve all the devices you have. I'd expect it to be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. If you have FON enabled you certainly need that wider range as other people may be using your router too.

  • Send Ical invitation url to a friend, but he can not find the server

    I am using an IMac G5 and my friend a powerbook G4. I send with mail a link to my ical. When clicking onto this link he gets no Server.
    IMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    My friend using a mac too, can´t find the
    server.
    strange ...
    Perhaps the link you put in the email got broken
    between lines. If so, clicking on it may well
    produce an invalid request. Try putting the url
    between brackets or at asking your friend to type
    it in letter by letter.
    Iknow the problem with broken lines. That is not the reason. I will send a testmail to someone other and report it later. Thanks for helping me !

  • Firefox says it can not find the server (Windows Internet Exployer works fine

    When I try to connect to Firefox,I get the message can not find server.(All my hardwired computers,to Dsl).When we try Windows Internet Exployer it works fine.That is what I am using to send this message.

    Not sure of your answers: is the problem solved (as marked) or not.
    Did you go through the solution for the Firewall that you use.
    :http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
    When you say it works okay on new browser do you mean IE or do you mean if you reinstall Firefox. As far as I know it is the Firefox updates that get are mostly affected. What Firewall do you have.

  • What causes the message on startup- Firefox can not find the server. Could the server block more than two pcs on line at any one time ??

    I have two pcs linked to my Telkom server. I tried to add a third to test it. It sees the server and states excellent connection. But I am unable to get Firefox to open. Every attempt ends with "Firefox cant see the server". I suspect its my server which will only allow max 2 pc at any one time altho I unplugged the one (its on wire to the router) and tried. Still got the same message. Same with Opera when tried.

  • I installed update 5.7.1, and can not find the new panorama, or HDR features.  I watched the tutorial for the location.  Does LR 5 not support these features?

    Are the Panorama and HDR features not supported in LR 5.7.1?
    I installed the update, but they do not show where the tutorial shows below Photo/Edit In.

    These features are only in Lightroom 6/Lightroom CC, and you would have to purchase Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6 (or use the 30-day free trial and then purchase it).
