"The PowerPivot service application could not connect to the Analysis Services instance"

Hi
I am baffled by this one. I have a PowerShell script I have built up to install PowerPivot, which I have put together by reading various blogs and by picking apart the scripts that come with the PowerPivot installer.
However, once I have built the service app and installed/activated the solutions and features, I get the error "The PowerPivot service application could not connect to the Analysis Services instance" when trying to use it. I can't find any
more detailed messages, even with verbose logging turned on. SSAS\PowerPivot is of course installed and connected to Excel as it should be.
I have tried running the PowerPivot for SharePoint validation tool and it doesn't find anything.
If I install PowerPivot using the PowerPivot for SharePoint installer, then delete the service app and rerun my scripts, everything then works fine.
So there is something the installer is doing that I am not, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. I though it might be permission related, but the official installer installs the service under the farm account, not my BI service account.
Ahaa, I thought, but when I then reinstall the service myself with my scripts, using my BI service account, the service app then works, so I don't think it can be permission related.
Doing a Google search on that message pulls up only one old post (repeated a few times), which talks about using a domain account for the SSAS instance instead of a Local System account - I am using the same domain service account for SSAS, Excel and
PowerPivot already, so that doesn't help me much.
Does anyone have any ideas for me or suggestions on how I might proceed?

Did you run the "Run PowerPivot for SharePoint Configuration Tool" after installing PowerPivot and did that work okay?

Message is almost acting like a pop up.

Hi
I constantly get same message. When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

Safari cannot open the web page becauseit could not connect to the server.

Hello, recently I have been trying to access a web page that I can only access if I delete the "www." in my browser before I hit the "go" button. If I do not delete the "www." I get the error message "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server. I have tried restarting my ipad 2 by holding down the home and lock button but it has not worked, I do have 7 tabs open right now but I dont think that would be a problem would it? I have full internet access so I dont think tap hat would be it.

That didnt work :/ This website is hosted on a platform called enjin and I have noticed every enjin website is doing this to me so could it be something on there end? I havnt heard from anybody else who is having the same problem.
The website looks different from what it did before this started happening to me, here is a screenshot of what it looks like now.

"safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server"

As stated above. I have had this problem for the last 2-3 days. I have always been able to connect to the internet over wi-fi using my iphone but this problem had persisted these few days. This is a problem because my iPhone shows that I do have connection to the internet. ( I assume this from looking at the internet signal stregth bar at the top of the screen.) My laptop and computer have no problem but the message "safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server," keeps on appearing on my phone whenever I try to access the internet.
If it is of any relevance I use an iPhone 4s, reasonably new, practically 2 months. I have never had problems before this. Thank you for your help in advance.

The connection strength icon you are referring to has nothing to do with the Internet. It simply indicates the strength of your connection to your local WiFi network. However, even when this icon appears you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid local network IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to it for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store (iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004))?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

When trying to connect to itunes i receive the following message, "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store" An unknown error occured (-3212)

Help me, when trying to connect to iTunes or the iTunes Store I receive the following message. "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store." An unknown error occurred (-3212).

iTunes has been denied by your firewall. Add iTunes to your firewall allowed list.

How do you fix the following error "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. an unknown error occurred 11556"?

I've tried the Advanced troubleshooting and eliminated the following "probable causes": Internet connection and Firewall. Any ideas?

Error 11556:
This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
The most common example of this is iPhone ringtone creation in a country other than the U.S. or trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.
If trying to create ringtones outside iTunes Store (U.S.), either switch to the iTunes Store (U.S.) and use an iTunes Store account for the U.S. or access the iTunes Store on an iPhone using iOS 3.1 or later to buy ringtones.

Despite having full connection to wi-fi, no matter what internet browsing app i get on it will never connect. Every website says the same thing "Safari could not connect to the webpage because the server has stopped responding."

Basically what it says above.

"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The
connection was reset.
Make sure your network connection is active and try
again."
I wasn't getting this message yesterday, and my
network connection is most certainly active. This is
a problem plaguing every iTunes user I know, PC or
Mac. What's going on here?
I have tried on two consecutive evenings (15th and 16th) to purchase a song. I have purchased many songs from the iTunes Music Store over the past year. iTunes 6 has been installed for over a month and I have purchased songs since that installation. I have connected to the iTunes Music Store and can search and see results and information, but cannot get to purchase the song I have selected, or others that I find. When I select the "buy song" button I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (-9807). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
Network connection is active. I can begin a new search and certainly by submitting this my network connection is active. Anyone else have an idea for us ? There was a security update recently that I downloaded. I wonder if this has changed things. I have checked my KeyChain and repaired some discrepancy using KeyChain First Aid, but this did not resolve the issue.

Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion

I created a document report in Web Analysis with an administrator user then I created a user in the shared services console and granted him access to the report, but entering with this user I can access the report, but receive the following error message: Could not connect to the OLAP server web analysis hyperion.

Is the user having correct provisioning in Essbase? Which version? (older versions, you'll have to synchronize Essbase with HSS)

ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection reset.

Hi,
I read a bunch of the other posts where people are having a hard time connecting to iTunes. However, this is not a current problem but one that has been occuring for awhile for me (actually my daughter). Either way, I removed and reinstalled iTunes 7.0.2 and I am getting the following message:
iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
Well, if my network connection is not active then I wouldn't be able to reinstall iTunes or post this message. Has anyone seen this message prior to everyone getting their iTunes gift cards for X-Mas?
Thanks!

Hi to all who are having problems...
After some time and visiting an apple store I was able to get this to work. Basically, it has something to do with your Firewall settings. I actually have Panda Software's Antivirus s/w with the firewall protection. Under the Advanced Settings page iTunes was listed as "No Connection". I selected iTunes and then clicked on Remove application. I then tried iTunes store again and it worked. I even went back to my firewall protections and this time when I looked under the Advanced Settings page iTunes is now properly listed as "Outbound (client)".
I won't take all the credit because the Apple Store pointed me to the following page which gave me the hint of checking my firewall protections:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304082
Give this a try and see if this doesn't help.
Cheers!
