Strange message when trying to connect to another computer via SMB

Hello,
I sucessfully set up a MAC/VISTA network and used it for the past days. I connected through CMD+K smb//:<my_ip>
But now I get everytime the following message when doing that:
_*"Connection failed" - This data server is already active on your computer. Please access the files and volumes locally.*_
(This is my translation of the german message, so it might not be the correct translation)
Anyway, I can't find the share in Finder, it is not there anymore. What does this message means, I'm confused??

open up your terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
Type in the following:
cd /Volumes <enter>
ls -al <enter>
Now see if the name of your Vista PC is in the list. If it is, unmount them (there may be multiple instances)
umount <Name of Volume> <enter>
You may have to use the "force" flag, like so:
umount -f <Name of Volume> <enter>
You'll have to be root to do that.

Hi Brian,
In Acrobat, security concerns dictate that you cannot specify an ODBC connection string by using the Driver=; syntax. Therefore, the client computer using the form needs to have a DSN pre-configured for ODBC connections.

Strange Message When Trying to Sync iOS 4.1

Ever since updating to iOS 4.1 yesterday, I have been receiving the following message when trying to sync my iPhone 4 with my home PC: "The iPhone "Mike's iPhone" Cannot Be Synced; You Do Not have Sufficient Privileges For This Operation". This is my third iPhone and I have never received this message before; also, I am using the same PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)that I have for the past 8 months, and have never before seen this message. I am the sole user and administrator on the PC; the strange thing is, my iPhone appears to be syncing ok. I Googled this and saw several responses related to deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder on my PC, which I did, but I still get the same error message. Any thoughts?

Error message when trying to connect Classic 120GB to iTunes An internal error occurred during: "FindSonarTrackJob". java.lang.NullPointerException

When trying to connect to iTunes I get this message
An internal error occurred during: "FindSonarTrackJob".
java.lang.NullPointerException

I too am having this problem and have had, for about a week now.
I've found that by logging off itunes (if I can), closing it down, and then restarting it, sometimes allows it to work for one transaction (say downloading an updated app). After that it's back to the same error.
Really annoying.

Getting an error message when trying to connect to Telepresence Meeting - "Call Denied"

I am getting an error when trying to connect to Telepresence units I have been using for quite some time. I tried multiple computers and multiple destinations. The error message "call denied" pops up within seconds after trying to connect.
Any ideas? Is this a Cisco related issue?

I can't dial: (Get 'call denied' message)

Is there a way to know this is being addressed? How would one start a support case on this subscription service?

Update: At 1pm CT I am able to dial and connect.

Airport error message when trying to connect to internet

Hi,
My iBook G3 has been unable to connect to the internet via our newly installed satellite service. When the service was first installed, it connected, but now it doesn't/ My G4 desktop iMac connects fine but not the laptop.
I have gone into the keychain control, deleted the network and then tried to reconnect, to no avail. The computer knows that the network is there, but can't join.
Another related issue: I get into an endless loop when I try to go into Network in System Prefs. The error message says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." The same message shows up on my iMac desktop computer, too, although I have no trouble getting online with that computer.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Even though the article is about connecting to an SMB share, most of it can still hold true when connecting via FTP.
If you haven't yet, you may want to try using a 3rd party FTP application, such as CyberDuck http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14426

Keep getting error message when trying to connect

First, I am severly hearing impaired and telephone support is not an option.
I went from an iMac G5 to an iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. Contribute had been working perfectly with the old iMac. Now whenever I try to connect I get the following error message: "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." When I go through the trouble shooting file I keep getting the error message while trying to re-configure. Can someone please help??

What is the version of Contribute and also the Mac OS ?
Can you try clearing the Preferences this would be like launching Contribute freshly?

IPad displaying an Hotspot Error message when trying to connect to wifi. How do I fix?

When attempting to connect to the public wifi network at work on my iPad, I started getting the following error message today: "Error Opening Page - Hotspot login cannot open the page because the network connection was lost." In order to utilize the network, you must read and accept a user agreement, which will not load and instead displays the error. I have already tried turning of the wifi and turning it back on and rebooting the device. This has never been a problem before, and I have had my iPad for several months now. Further, my iPhone is connecting to the same network with no problem. How do I correct this problem?? Thank you so much for any help provided!

Hi elizabeth_lynn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
If you're unable to join a nearby Wi-Fi network
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router by turning it off and then on again.
Note: If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
When joining an 802.11n Wi-Fi network, ensure that your router is properly configured. See this article for more information.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings, including passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Hope this helps,
Mario

I get an error message when trying to connect to time capsule*

So I have set up my TC and tried backing up my MBA using TM, but I keep getting this error message and cant even connect to the TC
Don't know what to do. Other Macs in my house connect and back up fine and they run Snow Leopard. My MBA runs Lion. I have read that this may be the reason why this is happening, but how do I fix this?
Any help much appreciated.

You could try a Reset as per this excellent Time Machine Guide.
I must be fortunate as I backup to TC from an assortment of Lion and SL MacBooks and iMacs. I do not let TM run auto-backups but do it manually from each system, as required.
