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.

My iPod touch 3rd gen is not updating to the latest software, iTunes keeps saying that there was a problem connecting to the update server...

I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?

If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0. and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

"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.

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?

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.

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

I am publishing directly to an FTP server (option 1). Is this the optimal method or should I be publishing to a folder and then (how do/would I?) publish to my hosting domain?
I'm wondering if this has really anything to do with the publishing process, or whether it just has to do with the photos and/or the photo albums. I've deleted the photo albums with the missing pictures from my site on iweb thinking a file might be corrupt. (I'm getting the albums from iphoto -- drag/drop method into iweb) I then replaced these albums with the same albums as the previous ones from iphoto and then published my site again -- and the EXACT same photos were once again missing in the NEW albums as were missing in the old albums...
Maybe it is a publishing issue, or it could be a photo/file issue. However, these albums aren't very large -- the largest containing 135 photos --
Please! if you have any suggestions or ideas as to what is happening I would be greatly appreciative!
I'm pulling my hair out here trying to diagnose the problem...

Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

Any other ideas?

Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

Publish error There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider.

OK! So I got everything filled out right to publish my iWeb site with iCloud now but after it looks like everything is fine this error pops up REPEATLY!:
PUBLISH ERROR There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider.
Is this an Apple problem or with my server Netfirms???

Yeah no sorry not the answer. I have my own online hosting unlimited space and bandwidth.
It seems to be linked to teh podcast image. It's very strange...

What is this "There was a problem connecting to the 'PEGASUS' server."?

Hi,
I've been getting this pop up on my work iMac for almost two years and have not been able to figure out what it means. And as far as I know, there isn't a PEGASUS server in the office, it that is where it is saying it should be. It happens on start up after the desktop loads.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what it means? Screenshot is below.
Thanks!

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the quick post! I checked the Login Items and it looked like there were three applications checked off that had uknown types next to their names. I unchecked them and hope to see this fix the pop up box.
I'll respond if this does or does not fix the pop up.
Thanks!

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

Since updating to mountain line, error message "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported" keeps popping up

Since updating to Mountain Lion in the last week, an error message keeps popping up. The graphic is the button with 3 stick men holding hands and the message is "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported". Any solutions found?

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

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...
