Sync always fails to connect to server with no reason

On two of my computers (both Macs running 10.6.7, one a MacBook Air and one an older iMac), Sync fails, saying "failed to connect to server"
When I try again (and again, and again...) it results in the same message. It has synced successfully in the past, but has not in more than a week.
I can't figure out how to get it to sync or even how to get more information about the issue.
Any help, ideas or suggestions - including questions clarifying or detailing the issue - are welcome.
Thank you!!

If Oracle reports error about Net8 configuration, that means -
you're trying to use "thick" JDBC driver, though usual way
is to use "thin" driver instead. You have to make corrections
in your connect url like:
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>:<sid>"

Hope this will help

Iphone 5 Email client fails when connecting to server with certs signed by personal CA

My mail resides on my own server with its own private CA that was used to sign the email server cert.
I used sendmail and CA and certs were created with below commands:
CA -newca
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout sendmail_req.pem -out sendmail_req.pem
openssl ca -out sendmail_cert.pem -infiles sendmail_req.pem
Before I switched to iphone 5 I had Iphone 3s and all worked fine.
I would get a notification: cannot verify server identity, but after clicking continue all would work fine.
The client would connect on port 993 to receive email and on port 587 to send.
Now on iphone 5 I get error: Cannot verify Server Identity with no prompt to accept the cert.
Is there any work around for it?
I tried to export the cert from I mac and import to iphone but still no luck.
It looks like since iphone 4 the certs not issues by legal CA's don't work?
thx

I fixed that by getting certs from: https://www.startssl.com/?app=1.
The certs are free and work fine.
Since Iphone 4 apple does not accept unknown CA Authorities.

Multiple errors from MsiInstaller with event id 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005"

Hi,
Every night I get a lot of warnings in the event log from MsiInstaller with event ID 1015 and text "Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005". They are always followed by a new event 1035. Example:
Event 1015, MsiInstaller (Warning)
Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x80070005
Event 1035, MsiInstaller (Information)
Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft Excel Mobile Viewer Components. Product Version: 14.0.4763.1000. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.
I probably get around 50 of these each night, and the 1035 events are all related to various SharePoint components. The user in all cases is the sharepoint farm account.
I use SharePoint 2010 enterprise in a farm install on one virtual server. I have a private domain, and the database is on a separate server.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Other than the error in the event log I cannot see any issues with my installation. I have searched for this error and seen it related to user profile synchronisation, but profile sync is working fine for me. I
installed using the Technet guide and the user profile sync guide at
http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010ups.aspx
Thanks,
Mikael

Hey Trevor. Thanks. I wasn't sure which method it was failing on although I understood it was the Windows Installer Service that was getting called by the job. There are three things that are still interesting to me though:
The job succeeds anyway. How? Does it just continue to run the rest of its checks but fails on this one? If it doesn't fail on this one, why not? If it does fail here, but then continues, should we be concerned about the quality of the data in Manage Patch
Status?
Or... does it somehow succeed once it uses the DCOM rights which appear to clear the 10016 errors? What I've never been able to reconcile with these warnings is that we've granted DCOM rights to launch and activate the Windows Installer Service and
that definitely seems to make a difference to success or failure of the job - so why doesn't it clear these warnings?
Why does granting the file system permissions clear the FIM version of this job's warnings, but not for the Product Version Job? This is particularly vexing since granting the DCOM rights appears to resolve the 10016 errors in exactly the same manner for
both jobs.
All of this has led me to believe that there were missing permissions somewhere, probably on the file system, but I just haven't had any luck pinning that down. One reason why I continued to pursue a solution to this is that the job doesn't actually try
to install anything, it's just trying to use the Windows Installer Service to query the installed version, and the DCOM rights should be sufficient to invoke the service. But getting much further than this has proven pretty difficult since I'm not a dev and
I've kind of pushed my limited reflection skills and understanding of the Windows Installer Service to the limit. If anyone can chip in and make some progress from this point, it'd be great to join forces!

Cannot connect to server with ttisqlcs, Failed to retrieve IP address of the system

Please help me, I installed timesten server and client on different machines in LAN, but with the same user and group - ttadmin:ttgroup
When I tried to connect to server with ttisqlcs -connStr "DSN=sampleCS"
The output gave me error messages as below
connect "DSN=sampleCS";
S1000: Failed to retrieve IP address of the system. System error: -2
The command failed.
Done.
The related part in sys.ttconnect.ini is set as below
[192.168.0.206]
Description=TimesTen Server
Network_Address=192.168.0.206
TCP_PORT=53397
And the sys.odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
sampleCS=TimesTen 11.2.2 Client Driver
[sampleCS]
TTC_SERVER=192.168.0.206
TTC_SERVER_DSN=nredb_ds
What does it mean by "retrieve IP" ?
Does it try to resolve IP by the hostname even when I already gave it the ip address?
By the way I can ping 192.168.0.206 and telnet at port 53397 with no problem.
Please help me, thanks~

Try changing your entries as follows and see if it fixes it:
sys.ttconnect.ini
[myserver]
Description=TimesTen Server
Network_Address=192.168.0.206
TCP_PORT=53397
sys.odbc.ini
[ODBC Data Sources]
sampleCS=TimesTen 11.2.2 Client Driver
[sampleCS]
TTC_SERVER=myserver

Publishing error (failed to connect to server)

Using X5, I am trying to publish to our help server (web help
pro), but getting a message in the output window "Warining: Failed
to publish to 'yourserver'. reason: Failed to connect to server.
All my permissions are set up as described here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=rb_e01
So... I ran a packet sniffer and then tried to publish
again... and saw that the publisher attempts to access
http://yourserver/robo/robo.dll?mgr=sys&cmd=svr
When I try to access this address in a browser, I get a 401 error
with the message below.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
|Server: unauthorized
|Unauthorized due to ACL on resource

|This error indicates that the credentials passed by the

I can not seem to figure out what ACL is incorrect. I tried
running process monitor (from winternals), and did not see anything
helpful. The IIS www worker process seems to access all the robo
files/registry without error.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can I get some guidance on
how to resolve? We are about to purchase support incidents, but the
sooner I can resolve, the better.
Any help appreciated. thanks,
ajperrins

I'm afraid I won't be of much help except to say that this is
a classic permissions issue. I have to assume you've checked and
double-checked the link referred to in your post (which is a good
one).
You might also try this technote:
Publishing
to RoboEngine
In helping others troubleshoot this, it sometimes turns out
that there are firewall issues that are not obvious especially if
you are in a large organization crossing many domains from author
to server. Are you the ultimate "server admin" or is there someone
in your organization's network admnistration who could help resolve
the permission issue?
Sorry I can't be of immediate help.

FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet-1 coming thru LBR

Hi,
Our EBS setup is as follows,
R12.1.1,
10g DB, 10.2.0.4 (patchset)
Sun Solaris 10 64 bit
Two node Apps Tier (AppServer1 and AppServer2) in a shared APPL_TOP.
and Two node RAC Database Tier (DBNode1 and DBNode2)
Highly secured and firewall environments.
We configured EBS R12 and we were able to login and launch forms , Submit conncurrent jobs and everythings worked fine.
http://hostname.domainname:8000
Now , our requirement is that all the users would be accessing our EBS through https and the flow is as follows,
Step1:
User => https://lbrname.domainname:443
here lbrname is our Load Balancer name. Here the request is identified as EBS request and LBR forwards that URL to our reverse proxy server
Step2:
Our reverse proxy server is Sun http web server 7 update 5. It converts it to http://hostname.domainname:8000 and offloads it to the apps tier.
We followed metalink note 380489.1 - Using Load-Balancers with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 to configure our EBS with load balancer .
(Section 2.1: Using Hardware Load Balancers with Single Web Entry Point).
After configuring we are able to login to the EBS URL using https://lbrname.domainname:443.
Now here is our problem,
When trying to launch any form , it gives the below error.
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet-1
not sure how to proceed. Looked at google , metalink but not getting anywhere.
Can you please give some pointers as how to solve this problem ?
Thanks,
Sasi

Hi Helios,
Thank you very much for your time.
Metalink ID 438522.1 & 367614.1 doesnt apply to our environment.
I had looked at 470890.1 and it looked like we are ok but I'm going to double check on that.
FRM-92050: Failed to connect to Server: /forms/lservlet:-1 http://ID 470890.1
On the laodbalancer (Big IP) i need to check with our network team.
FRM-92050: Failed To Connect To Server: /forms/lservlet:-1 http://ID 793409.1
Thanks again.

Failed to connect to server "%MACHINENAME%

Hi;
I have problem with opening report with crystal report 2013 EOM , i got this strange exception I have google it and didnt find any helpful data
"Failed to connect to server "%MACHINENAME%".Error returned from Windows Sockets API getaddrinfo: 11001."
i am using this code
tempFilePath += "Evaluators Trend.rpt";
            ReportClientDocumentClass crystalReport = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            object path = (object)tempFilePath;
            crystalReport.Open(ref path, 0);
can you please advice how can i avoid this issue .
Thanks ,
Fade Ismaeel

Hi,
Could you try below code and see if you face the same issue?
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rd = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument;
boReportClientDocument= new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.ReportAppServer = System.Environment.MachineName;
object path= @"C:\Reports\World Sales Report.rpt";
boReportClientDocument.Open(ref path, 0);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource= boReportClientDocument;
You would need to set the RAS server which will be processing your request. Above code works when executed on the same machine as CRSE is installed. You could also use the IP address of the machine (instead of "System.Environment.MachineName") where the RAS is installed.

When i connect Sqlfie(my system) with oracle( another system) using JDBC Rowloader .nothing is happening after some time it shows the error like"time out for pool connection to archive database.When i increase the time out also nothing is happening.
what is the reason for above two errors(I stated in the pragraph.)

I don't think this has anything to do with a VMware product.

Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio "Failed to Connect to Server"

One of my report developers recently got a new laptop. Since then, she hasn't been able to open an existing report or create a new one. She can log into Financial Reporting Studio, but when trying to open an existing report or create a new report, she gets the error message "Failed to Connect to Server".
We've tested using her laptop and using mine. We are both fine on my laptop. We both have same issue on her laptop. Therefore, we don't think it's a security/credentials issue.
We've searched help documentation and other threads in this forum but haven't been able to find what we need.
We suspect that file(s) are missing or something wasn't configured properly during the new install. Maybe the Planning ADM Driver?? Our company's tech support hasn't been able to help. This is a new implementation, the consultants are gone, and our IT staff isn't up to speed yet.
Can anyone offer help as to what file/configuration could be the cause and exactly how to correct?
Thanks.

We had the same issue after installing the Financial Reporting Studio client.
If you run the batch script HRRunAnt.cmd in the directory C:\Hyperion\products\biplus\install\bin after installation this fixes the problem.

Sometimes JBoss fails to connect to server.

JBoss does not connect all the times during server re-boot. The errors on the log are listed below. It looks like the ports are in use, but re-starting the JBoss service or the server will resolve the connection issue. This problem does not occur all the times. Sometimes JBoss starts without any problem. This is a Windows Server 2003 and SQL 2005 environment.

Hello Damodar,
The connection is established at the time of installation only !!. At the time of installation you need to specify the Central Instance(message server in most cases unless you have a dedicated message-enque server).

IPad 3 with iOS 6 fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - any solutions available?

Hello *,
after upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 6 it constantly fails to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES - hidden or broadcasted SSID - at home and at work because the device does not accept the WPA2 password. This is also the case for my iPhone 4S but both devices did work with WiFi (WPA2 / AES) perfectly with previously installed iOS 5.1.1.
I tried to downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 but it seems to be no longer possible to downgrade for both iPad 3 and iPhone 4S as the certification and signage window for iOS 5.1.1 maybe has been closed by Apple.
Does anyone know about a possible solution to connect to WiFi with WPA2 and AES with iPad 3 / iPhone 4S and iOS 6 upgrade?
Thank you very much for any help and advise.
Best regards from Germany
Matthias

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

This happened yesterday 1/20 after my daughter was in her e-mail account. Had trouble with the screen also.

I started having this problem after the download of the new Firefox 5.0. No solutions posted have worked so far. FIPS is already disabled.
