'The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time.'

Since updating to 5.1.4 with my crossgrade I get the following message as it looks to each of the Firewire drives in my set... 'The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.'
I know this is supposedly something to do with Appleshare. Any ideas?

A server you have at one time been connected to is no longer available. You may have your System Settings using a server for a media drive. < </div>
Your OS is looking for a rogue server. It could be anything that you were connected to at any time in the past that you perhaps forgot to unmount or disconnect from before power off. Servers are usually Ethernet connections, maybe an FTP session or you may have aborted a download.
However, you might be getting a completely bogus error. Can only suggest your run Repair Permissions once or twice and maybe start form you OS10 DVD and run Disk Utility-Repair Disk. Can't hurt.

Do you have an updated to clear browser cache automatically in Adobe CC Muse?
If not, how can I prevent browser cache?

Error "Connection Failed The server may not exist or is not operational..."

This is just FYI in case somebody else runs across this. On one user account, an error window would pop up every so often that said:
Connection Failed
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
It turns out that the problem was caused by Screen Saver. The error popped up whenever screen saver tried to launch. On the problem account I had the "Pictures" folder selected for the screen saver, and apparently there must be an alias in that folder pointing to something on a remote server, because as soon as I go to System Preferences and open the Screen Saver panel, I get the error.
It has been driving me crazy for months but finally I thought to look in Console, where I saw the error "afp_mount[5045] CFLog (0): CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1103 (0x44f), port = 0x2d03, name = 'com.apple.afp_mount.ServiceProvider'"
Searching for that error led me to the Macosxhints forum at http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-53209.html where a user had posted the same problem. Changing to a different screen saver or a different folder for pictures resolved the issue.

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2L , recurring error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist...etc."

Since upgrade to Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion, on MacBookPro, recurring (every minute or so) error message: "There was a problem connecting to the server "servername". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network conneection, and then try again." (The server specified is no longer connected or used). The error message must be clicked twice to continue to work on the computer. Time Machine is switched off. No external disks are connected. Keychain entries for "servername" have been removed since the problem arose. Is there any way to prevent this error message?

I am having the same problem; have tried deleting some of the plist files as others suggested but to no avail. Tried turning off time machine - that didn't fix it either. Very dispappointing.

Connection Failed - The Server May Not Exist

On two 10.4.7 machines, when I try to connect to a 10.3.9 machine, I get a message that the server may not exist. It was working fine last week, then all were shut down over the weekend.
When I choose Network on the Desktop, the server shows up on the list as long as it's running, so the list of available servers recognizes it. Although I'm sure nothing was changed, I've checked and re-checked sharing and network settings on all three computers. IP addresses are correct and so are the names of the computers. I've run utilities on the 10.3.9 machine and one of the 10.4.7 machines. I've restarted every computer. The result remains the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

Only thing I can think of is that a setting did get changed or borked on the 10.3.9 machine.
Appletalk is available in both OSes, but Tiger can no longer do AFP over Appletalk... think it just uses it for "Discovery", so I'm thinking the 10.3.9 machine is trying to communicate via Appletalk instead of TCP/IP.
Have you tried from the Finder>CMDk>afp:// the actual IP of the other machine?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.

Did you reboot the TC? That is always the first step.
Reboot the whole network if that is not enough.
If you still have issues.. come back to us but generally the best way is to factory reset the TC and start over.
We need a bit more info on the whole network layout and what OS you are running. What model TC you have??

A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline

When I select “Update existing software in QuickTime Pro I get an error message saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
This has persisted for several weeks. Any help will be welcomed as I do not know how to contact QuickTime support via Apple.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Many thanks

I was able to download and install the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) without a hitch. After the reboot I tried again to update my exisitng Quicktime Pro software as described in my original posting and got exactly the same error message.
If it happens that there is no software to download because I am already running the latest version, surely a message to that effect would appear and not the one saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
Still seeking advice if possible

Hi.
This I have seen before...
It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:
http://blog.sharepointrx.com/2010/11/18/setting-up-the-iis-smtp-server-for-sending-email-from-sharepoint-2010-on-server-2008-r2/
Check that and try again.

Powerview Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for silverlight

Hello,
I have a sharepoint 2010 sp1 CU Dec 2011 server with a SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4 reporting services instance. I am able to open Power View and use it normally when bypassing the ISA Reverse Proxy server. However when going thru ISA I receive the
following Error.
Power View Cannot connect to the server due to a security issue. The server may not have been able to match the host for Silverlight. This error appears after I click yes on an Internet Explorer Display Mixed Mode prompt.
I've seen a couple references to this issue but not much. This one mentions a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I haven't had any luck with that. http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/716433/cannot-connect-to-the-server-due-to-a-security-issue-the-server-may-not-have-been-able-to-match-the-host-for-silverlight
Any Ideas? Thanks.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Based on my research, the issue should occur due to a by design behavior in Threat Management Gateway (TMG). To work around this issue, you can use SSL between the TMG and the SharePoint Web Server.
Hope this helps.

Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

I've been building a site in Muse successfully until today when I get this error message in the browser, publishing to business catalyst as a test bed:
Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.
Clearing the cache has no effect and I have checked the assets and there are no error symbols. This happened after trying a google translate code in the <head> and a HTML snippet on the master template, I've since removed it but that the last action I took that I can think may have had an effect.
Viewing the source of the page in Safari hash;t helped other than it shows ALOT of html (including some elements i can;t relate to in my site design) and states there are three errors:
[Warning] Invalid CSS property declaration at: ; (index.html, line 1)
the site is Kingsdown Holiday Homes - Self Catering Chalet Rental at Kingsdown Park, Kent | Home
I started this site in Muse CC and then recently upgraded to Muse CC 2014, and I had install issues so deleted the original program (this then forced the download of the new version which was not automatically downloading even though CC notified me that an update was required.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks,

Same problem here but it has nothing to do with a cellular connection.
Created the site http://www.blackdot.com in Muse 7.4.3 with no issues. Just updated the .muse file today to Muse CC 2014 and reloaded to our web server. Now I am getting the error "Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect." when viewing the site from the latest version of all browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) on a Mac and all browsers on a PC (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Explorer), also mobile Safari on an iPad.
My connection is wired broadband, not a mobile or wireless connection. I am not using the Muse "Upload to FTP host…" option and will not be using it. I am simply exporting as HTML and copying the files to my server. I have deleted all files from the web server and recopied the updated site with the same error result. This is the exact same procedure I used to load the initial site with the prior version of Muse.
It does not seem like there is an existing solution to this problem although many others are experiencing it. It looks like I will need to manually edit each page to remove the error message coding from the html files. Any tips on how to strip out the alert message from the html?
UPDATE
For anyone else experiencing this issue, I was able to edit the .html files for my site to remove the code responsible for this alert message. If you wish to edit your .html files you must make the same edit to every .html file in your site export including the top level "index.html" and all .html files inside the "tablet" and "phone" folders if you have them.
The coding to remove is at the bottom of each .html file:
(Muse.assets.outOfDate.length||Muse.assets.required.length)&&alert("Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.")
Make sure you do not remove any semicolons or braces {} when making this edit. Just remove the text shown above. You will obviously need to remake these edits if you export your site as HTML in the future.

When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

User Executes Stored Procedure That Executes sp_send_dbmail; receives email but also gets error Cannot alter the queue 'ExternalMailQueue', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

Using SQL Server 2012 SP1
I have a user that is submitting a procedure that uses sp_send_dbmail. I have also noticed that they have the following code in their procedure
DECLARE @rc INT
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue' AND is_receive_enabled = 1)
EXEC @rc = msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp
The user submits the procedure and she gets the email but she also gets the following error message:
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sysmail_start_sp, Line 8
Cannot alter the queue 'ExternalMailQueue', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
Mail (Id: 2402) queued.
(1 row(s) affected)
I have granted execute to sp_send_dbmail and sysmail_start_sp. I have also granted select to service_queues.
Does anyone have any solutions for the above error message?
lcerni

The contents of sysmail_start_sp is this:
CREATE PROCEDURE sysmail_start_sp
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @rc INT
   DECLARE @localmessage nvarchar(255)
ALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH STATUS = ON
SELECT @rc = @@ERROR
IF(@rc = 0)
BEGIN
ALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH ACTIVATION (STATUS = ON);
   SET @localmessage = FORMATMESSAGE(14639, SUSER_SNAME())
   exec msdb.dbo.sysmail_logmailevent_sp @event_type=1, @description=@localmessage
END
RETURN @rc
The user get the error, because she does not have any permission on the queue in question. To be able to alter the queue, the following applies according to Books Online:
Permission for altering a queue defaults to the owner of the queue, members of the db_ddladmin or db_owner fixed database roles, and members of the sysadmin fixed server role.
Note that is would be db_ddladmin or db_owner in msdb. Now, supposedly the queue is already active, and in that case I think that it is sufficient that the user has VIEW DEFINITION on the view. This would permit her to see the row in sys.service_queues,
why there would be no need to call sysmail_start_sp.
Altertanively, change the check to:
DECLARE @isenabled bit
SELECT @isenabled = (SELECT is_receive_enabled FROM msdb.sys.service_queues
               WHERE name = N'ExternalMailQueue')
IF @isenabled = 0
   EXEC @rc = msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp
The idea here is that, if the user has no permission to read the information in the DMV, @isenabled will be NULL, and you just pray and hope that the queue is up and running.
I suspect that the reason this worked for you on SQL 2005 is that on that instance someone at some point in made all the required configurations for it to work, but all that is forgotten now. That happens to me too.
If you really want the user to be able to start the queue, I have some better ideas than adding her to a role, but I skip the details for now.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(
