There was an error connecting to the ATT network

I am trying to get help figuring out why when I try to connect on a wireless ATT modem I get an error message saying, "There was an error connecting to the network ATT5216." ATT could not help solve the problem. Anybody got any answers?

It didn't work. I typed in 17.149.160.49 in the browser bar and I got the message "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page http://www.apple.com/stratpage because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. The AirPort is connected to the wireless network though. When i go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and try and detect DHCP settings automatically by clicking on "renew DHCP lease" nothing happens. So I set all the paramemters manually using an AirPort address of 192.168.1.164 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and router address of 192.168.1.254. This hasn't solved the problem either. Do you think upgrading to 10.5 would help? I'm not so sure it would.

"Connection failed ... There was an error connecting to the server"

Hi,
I have a late-2009 imac, running Snow Leopard and all the latest updates.
However, since ugrading to ilife '09, I now see the following error
"Connection failed
There was an error connecting to the server
"BeechMac". Check the servername or IP address and then try again"
However, "Beechmac" was the name of the older G4 Mac from which I upgraded (using Time Machine) to the imac last year - and it no longer exists on the network.
As a test, I copied over to this Mac Mini (also latest OS and updates) all the iphoto directory prior to update and then updated to ilife '11 - same problem is seen.
I assume some files have some form of symbolic links to a networked partition ?
The only difference to my network/system has been updating to ilife '11 - and all I use is iphoto.
However, the error pops up every hour or so - and the mouse disappears and its tricky to gain mouse focus again to remove the message.
I've scoured the Internet - but no help.

I think I've identified the problem (or at least a solution).
There were broken Alias links for some of the photos in my iphoto directory.
I navigated Finder to the root of my iphoto collection and searched for "Kind: Alias"
I then checked (using Right-Click:"Get info") that the Alias was working (if not a broken Jpeg icon was shown), and if not fixed up.
It appears that in my system moves from taking photos from PC onto my original G5 Mac and then into iphoto (which had two partitions) some of the files had been aliased rather than copied. (Not sure exactly how this happened).
Anyway, I was able to repair the broken file by going into the Terminal and copying the required JPEG onto the Alias.
I wish there was an easier way to find broken Aliases - it was fairly tedious.

There was an error connecting to the update server.

There was an error connecting to the update server. Check your network settings and try again.
am i along with this?
airport utility 5.4.2 can`t get a new update 7.4.2

Ok. Got it fixed.
For a real fix:
Try trashing the ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort folder. This should solve the problem this time and next time.
If you are reluctant to do that, log into your 'test' account. (You do have a test account, don't you?)
Do the update from there.
Apparently we have something corrupted in our support directories for the AirPort device.
I first fixed my problem by doing the alternate log in method and found that all 3 of my devices were needing a firmware update but only the Capsule was reporting an update within my own account.

How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ?

How do I get rid of the error message "There was an error connecting to the server “Office AirPort Extreme” ? This message shows up 3 times when I boot my iMac.

I do have a USB hard drive hooked up to the Airport. I've never created an AppleScript for it. Should I disconnect the USB drive and see if I still get the error message?
Thanks for your reply!

There was an error connecting to the network, try again!

I bought a new Computer (Mac Mini) with Snow Leopard installed; On joining the network(WEP128Bit) airport extremebasestation and airportexpress with WDS-mode) suddenly the basestation didnt offer WEP 128bit any more. I cant remember precisely but i think ist got something to do with the firmwareupdate of the AEBS or that i gave up WDS and changed to „extend a wireles network“ , well it only offered „WEP transitory“ which did not work properly for some reason;
So i changed to WPA/WPA2 option and extending my network with the airport express.
This worked fine; two computers with leopard, the new one with Snow leopard and a windows Laptop as well as two Mobilephones could easily join the network.
BUT: My old Imac G4 with Tiger (10.4.11) could not join so easy.. (I changed the settings to WPA of course) The symptom was that on the right upper corner of the screen a message appeared saying: „there was an error connecting to the network, try again!“ and when i hit the „try again“ button up to 20 times then sometimes it suddenly succeeded to join.
I was just about to look after the wirelesscard but tried before one thing: I changed my network channel on the AEBS from „automatic“ to Channel 11.
From this time on i worked like a charm. I dont know why only the Imac G4 needed channel 11, but this solved my problem.

Here is the list of DHCP Clients:
http://home.earthlink.net/~jeffny0...ExtClients.jpg
(MAC addresses scambled for security)
I am not sure what 192.168.1.193 is ??? The 16 port Asante switch??
Anyone know if there is a way to (easily) add "Client ID" names in XP? I went though my Macs and added names to help ID them in the router, but can't see where to add names in XP?
IP Address: 64.110.135.46
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.128
Router Address: 65.110.135.1
(posting that does not compromise my security??)
I think I need to figure out how to get the HP 4050 to renew its IP address? Then the router should assign an address to it.....I would like it to use the same address it has now so I don't have to recofigure addresses on the computers to print to it......hummm
DHCP Begining Address: 191.168.1.2
DHCP Ending Address: 191.168.1.200
DHCP Lease: 4 (hours)
COUPLE HOURS LATER......
Just tried turning off the HP 4050 and unplugging it from the wall. Then plugging it (power) back in and turning it on, trying to get it to renew its IP address with the AirPort Extreme router.....nothing. Still does not show up in my list of DHCP Clients.
Tried Restarting the router.....now I see no clients at all in my list of DHCP Client list..... grrrrrr
Can anyone tell me why AirPort Extreme is not seeing the HP 4050 as a DHCP client?

Adobe Reader 9 - There was a problem connecting to the server

Hi there,
I have developed a form which submits XML via http(s). It all works 100% in Reader 7 and 8, but I get the following error in Reader 9 - "An error occurred during the submit process. There was an error connecting to the server." It doesn't seem to be a problem with my Javascript as I tried the vanilla http submit button in Designer and I get the same error.
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Reader 9 is running stand alone. I tested all versions (7 and 8) stand alone. I tested on one machine, but I uninstalled each version separately before installing the next. I made sure that there was only one version running at a time. I did test this on another machine and the same thing happened.
Regards,
Roy

HT4628 my time capsule has stopped working - have a green light but get an error message saying "there was a problem connecting to the server..."

I noticed this week an exclamation mark on the time machine icon on the menu bar.
My Macbook, iPad and iPhone all connect to the network but i get "there was a problem connecting to the server..."
When I open the preferences the time capsule is off but turnign it back on sends me in a loop of selecting the Time Capsule device (which has a nice green light etc) and then getting the error messgae about being unable to connect. I've pulled the plug a couple of times (this has worked in the past) but no change.
Any advice would be welcome before I try a factory reset or have to return to Apple for repair (the one thing they are offering as the thing is only 5 months old)

I also noticed that when I go to finder I see two MacBook Air's that are in my name but have the number (2) and (3) next to the name.
That is a well known bug in Yosemite.
Try open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Edit back to the correct name for your Mac
This may...or may not help. But, it won't hurt.
The Mac's name may stay stable....or you may see (2), (3), etc again soon.
Be sure to restart both your Mac and the Time Capsule after you do this.

I have my i Pad connected to my computer and I still get error message there was a problem connecting to the server

I was having problems connecting to my app store and safari, any games or anything that required going out to a server. I rebooted my wireless several times it is working and it shows a signal on my iPad so it was suggested I go into settings and do a reset. I have done this and it still is not working. the error message when I try to sign in with an Apple ID is "there was a problem connecting to the server". I even get this when I am connected directly to my computer through Itunes
Any suggestions?

Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.

There was a problem connecting to the server error

HELP!
Right, so I upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro last night, and have spasmodically gotten the following error:
There was a problem connecting to the server "me409fs02"
followed by:
There was a problem connecting to server "me35syd08"
Now the weird thing is, me409fs02 and me35syd08 were servers at a company I used to work for 2 years ago. I have no idea why my computer is suddenly trying to log in to these old servers, or how to make it stop.
Here's a screen shot of what's going on in the console at the exact moment that the errors occur:
This is turning out to be a gargantuan pain in the butt and I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks in advance,
Brent.

G'day mate,
Is this only happening in one user account? If so, then you should look into the library folder of your user account and your login items (through "Users & Groups Preferences").
Check for any LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons that could be attempting to connect to the server.
If it's happening for every user, then also check the Library folder at the root of your hard drive (LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons and StartupItems).
Cheers,
Rodney

There was a problem connecting to the server. - Keeps getting error message.

Eversince I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 I get this message every 5 minutes.
"There was a problem connecting to the server.
That server was gone for almost 1 month now.
I have checked Login items, launchdaemons, startup items pretty much gone to every website and I cannot get this error message go away.
Please help..

That server was Microsoft Server 2003.
My users used that server and to access our resources files and folers.
But, I retired that server 1 month ago and all of the sudden her iMac just trying wanted to connect to that server.
I have also clear her history of server by just going to command+k and clear history servers.

X61 - Vista Business - Client Security Solution Error - There was a problem connecting to the TPM

During startup my x61 has been displaying the following message, 'Client Security Solution' - "There was a problem connecting to the TPM (security device) ont his computer. It is possile that anti-virus or firewall software is blocking the connection. A missing or disabled device driver could also cause this problem. Please refer to the online documentation for more information".
I have spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort to find identify the cause and a solution for this problem. It occurs whether or not virus software is enabled or disabled and numerous calls to Lenovo, Symantec, Kaspersky, and Microsoft have resulted in finger pointing and no answers. None of the vendors acknowledge the problem yet this same issue is a significant topic of concern as found in various blogs and 'help' sites. Lenovo thought it was hardware and changed the motherboard. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft since it was a Vista issue. Microsoft told me to call Lenovo since Vista Business was preinstalled on the machine. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft and so it goes. I removed Symantec's anti-virus and replaced it with Kaspersky.
The strangest thing is that the module works intermitently and it seems that everytime a Lenovo update is performed (via Thinkvantage) the problem reoccurs for sometime.
Does anyone out there have an understanding of the cause and a potential solution???

I have the same problem on an X 60 platform, which only surfaced in the last two weeks subsequent to running all of the Lenovo updates. Prior to this, I had reinstalled all programs, starting with the Recovery Disks for the Think Pad. Everything, including start up, was exceptionally fast. Once I ran the most recent BIOS updates, along with several others, this error message surfaced. It is intermittent, however, and I have not noted an issue.
In reviewing several other Message Boards, I have seen this issue raised several times. Here is a link to a thread where the individual did achieve a solution through Lenovo, but their response is nonspecific as to what they did: (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&message.id=7143&query.id=1...
