All pc's can access to this shared partition except my Mac that give allways the message "Unable to connect the server".
I tried inserting the IP adress or using finder but .
Can anyone give me a hint?

Hi,
I suggest you to follow the below steps to import Publish Settings File using Visual Studio
In Visual Studio 2013, open Solution Explorer, right-click the project then click Add and then Connected Service....
In the Services Manager dialog, click Create service..., then select <Import...> from Subscription in the Create Mobile Service dialog.
In Import Azure Subscriptions, click Download subscription file, login to your Azure account (if required), click Save when your browser requests to save the file.
NOTE: The login window is displayed in the browser, which may be behind your Visual Studio window. Remember to make a note of where you saved the downloaded .publishsettings file. You can skip this step if your project is already connected
to your Azure subscription.
Click Browse, navigate to the location where you saved the .publishsettings file, select the file, then click Open and then Import.
Visual Studio imports the data needed to connect to your Azure subscription. When your subscription already has one or more existing mobile services, the service names are displayed.
NOTE: After importing the publish settings, consider deleting the downloaded .publishsettings file as it contains information that can be used by others to access your account. Secure the file if you plan to keep it for use in other
connected app projects.
Hope this helps !
Regards,
Sowmya

  • Unable to connect, server not responding

    Hello,
    We've resurrected a machine running 10.4.x from the dead back into use but it isn't happy with our network. It is configured correctly as far as I can tell. It responds to pings, can browse websites, and can mount other drives; however, when I try to mount the 10.4.x machine's drive from another machine I get the following:
    "Unable to connect - server not responding." Which I know is completely untrue after testing ping.
    I only entered the ip address in the Go > Connect to Server dialog. When attempting to connect from another machine I see a little more output:
    "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://10.0.1.7" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
    I am lost here, any help or observations are highly appreciated.

    Hi kssi89, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36 ioErr I/O error (bummers)
    Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...
    http://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/ioerror-36/
    But, in this instance I think it's not even starting to.
    Assuming Personal File Sharing is on on that machine & Internet Sharing is OFF, I might try trashing these, reboot and set it up again...

  • Mail is unable to connect server because password check

    Hi, since Tiger 10.4.7 I have the problem that Mail cannot connect to my POP mail server. The error message said that my password wouldn't be accepted from server.
    I am sure that the password is correct because my pop server don't ask for a password (the server use single sign on from my internet access data).
    The problem occurse very often if Mail runs a while (up to 1 hour) and than the cyclic email check fails. The error occours only at the first account in my list, the second is never affected. I tested this because I changed the order of my accounts and than the seconde (and now the first) account was affected by this problem.
    Workaround is restart Mail and it will work the next hour.
    Jan Lolling

    Hi Jan.
    I am sure that the password is correct because my
    pop server
    don't ask for a password
    This doesn't make sense. What do you mean? How can a
    password be correct if the server doesn't ask for it?
    I had a similar problem. I change my password every three months, on the 1st. I changed, as usual, on the 1st of October, and instantly had problems.
    Mail would sometimes refuse to connect, saying that it's got the wrong password. If I re-entered the password, Mail usually connected. Sometimes it didn't and I'd have to re-enter the password again. Meanwhile, that same password worked fine if I went to the .Mac web page, or to the discussions page, or to the iTunes store.
    I quickly determined that it's not the password. It's not the server. It's Mail and/or the keychain. I dug out the old Keychain First Aid application, which no longer works. I dug out Keychain Access, which said that the last time I'd updated my .Mac password was July, which was incorrect. I quit Keychain Access and launched Mail, and was again told that Mail needed my .Mac password. I updated it, checked mail, quit Mail, and checked the keychain again. It still showed not updated since July. This meant that Mail was not talking to the keychain, for unknown reasons.
    I updated the password in Keychain Access, saved and quit, and tried again... and again got the message that Mail had the wrong password. Quit Mail, relaunched Keychain Access, and found that Mail was not on the list of applications which could access that password. I added Mail to the list, saved and quit, relaunched Mail, and all is working.
    At some time between July and today something happened which denied Mail access to the keychain. As I started having the problem after I updated to 10.4.8, I suspect the update.

  • "unable to connect to server/OK"

    I'm in iCloud ****.
    I keep getting an intrusive prompt stating "New iCloud Terms and Conditions -- To use iCloud on this iPhone you must accept the new Terms and Conditions."
    Underneath are options to "View Terms" or "Not Now."
    When I click on "View Terms," I'm taken to iCloud settings, where "Terms and Condtions" is highlighted, invlting me to click. (All of the green buttons are inactive.) When I click on "Terms and Condtions," I get a prompt stating "Unable to connect server" -- the only option is to click on "OK," highlighted in blue. When you click on "OK," you're back to "Terms and Conditions" and can only toggle back and forth.
    I paid $71 to Apple Care to try to get this resolved. After mulltiple attempted fixes -- such as downloading "Find My Friends" and  trying to agree to the new terms and condtiions when setting that up, which didn't work -- it looks like I'm on my own.
    Anybody out there familiar with this scenario? Anybody able to get around it?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" 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 can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (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.

  • Unable to connect to Internet via Airport Express - 'cannot contact server'

    I'm unable to connect to the internet via my Airport Express. I'm using OS 10.3.9, and had the same setup with no problems at a previous address, but with a different modem from the same ISP.
    My AE is connected - the light is green - and my mac is connected to the network in Internet Connect. But when I open Safari I get an 'unable to contact server' message.
    I've tried rebooting everything (modem, AE, Mac), and leaving modem/AE off for several minutes. Also reset the AE, but to no avail.
    The connection works fine via Ethernet cable.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, I checked out that advice doc (106798), but could not connect to the address (http://17.149.160.49) which is given to test if it's a DNS issue. My ISP says I shouldn't need DNS settings.
    The service is PPPoE, and I went into Airport Admin Utility to check if the Airport was configured for this. Under Configure/Internet, I found it was set to 'Ethernet', so changed it to PPPoE. Then when I restarted I got connection status in the bar (and good Airport signal), but status flipped between 'looking for PPPoE host' and 'negotiating PPPoE host', sometimes sticking on one or the other each time I tried rebooting all gear.
    Any other ideas?

  • BO 4.0: Database error:Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon

    Hello Experts,
    I have enabled a 'SSO to database' between SAP BW and Business objects by referencing to the documents related to below link.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtosetupSSOagainstSAPBWinSBOBI4.0forLDAPusers
    I have created a universe connection with option 'use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time' and have created a universe on top of my BEx query by log-in to the universe designer tools using my LDAP account.
    Now when I run the report with either SAP account or LDAP - I am able to run a adhoc webi report on this universe and get data either through the webi rich client or via BO 4.0 Info-view/Launch Pad.
    But the issue is that when other users are trying to run webi queries on this universe either through Info-view/launch pad or rich client by log-in via LDAP Authentication - they get the below error: I have given SAP_ALL to this user for time being and also have done the necessary configuration for 'simple user format' in CMC so these user has 1 account with 3 alias definitions: Enterprise, SAP, R/3.
    Database error: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data -
    If the user logs on into the BO 4.0 Info-view/launch pad or webi rich client using his SAP authentication than he is able to run and retrieve data.
    I also get a dump in the SAP BW system - I analyzed the dump in SAP BW using st22 tcode and it gives the error short text as - Incomplete logon data and run-time error - CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_INCOMPL
    Desired outcome:
    I want the users to log-in to webi rich client or BO 4.0 Launch pad/Info-view using their 'LDAP' authentication and run reports against the universe on SAP BW/BEx query without any errors or additional username/password requirements.
    Can someone please tell me if I am missing any steps/configuration and guide me to achieve the above mentioned desired result ?
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,
    CD.

    Whether your problem is solved?
    We have the same problem in BO Mobile.
    Two users from one BW-role, BO-groups; one user report is executed, another user - error incomplete logon data. In Web Intelligence both users reports succeeds.

  • 'Unable to connect to database server' on local test server (CS4)

    I am a php/MySql newb. Have designed static sites in DW since Macromedia DW 4 days.
    I have set up a testing server on my Mac running OSX 10.6.7 using MAMP 1.9.5 and Dreamweaver CS4 to  test my osCommerce store (I like to see what's happening visually, even if I just change a small variable in the code). Although I have imported the store database  from my remote server, and the connection tests in the DW Database  window to the store, mysql, and information schema databases in  Dreamweaver are successful, I still get "Unable to connect to the  database server!" when I try to preview a .php page with Live View or with a browser. I'm using the  correct ports in my site definition (8888 and 8889). MAMP shows Apache  and MySQL running, of course. Have tried logging in as root and as my ususal username witht the correct passwords. Everything seems to be right...but it's  still wrong.
    Do I also need to import the mysql and information  schema databases from my remote server to replace the ones that came  with MAMP? If so, where do I put the information schema db? Although it  shows as a database in PhpMyAdmin, I don't see a folder or doc by that  name anywhere in MAMP - it must be buried pretty deep! (I did find a  file called information_schema_relations.lib.php in  MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/libraries. Is that it?)
    Or is it something else entirely?
    Note  that though I'm a fairly savvy user, I am not a developer or coder.  Strictly a GUI/static design guy with a liberal arts education. Keep the answers  simple and in plain English, thanks. 
    Have also posted this on the MAMP forum.

  • Unable to connect to the 2014 SQL Developer's Edition Report Server

    Hello,
       I have been through the wringer trying to gain access to my report service.  I have to admit that I am something of a neophyte with regards to SQL Server but I am pretty good with Windows 7 management in general.  I have just installed
    SQL 2014 Developer's Edition under Windows 7 SP1.  I have connected to the database engine server and loaded a couple of databases.  I chose windows authentication and can get into the report configuration manager and the SQL server configuration
    manager with no problems.  I have registered the URLs for both the web and report manager.  I can connect to all of the other instances (database engine, analysis services, and integration services).  I have to run with administrator privileges
    to connect to the integration services but it does not make any difference when attempting to connect to the reporting service either through report builder 3 or connect through object explorer.  I can find no relevant errors in the RS log even after
    enabling logging.  I have been through many of the articles I could find online but nothing seems to resolve the problem.  When connecting it shows Windows Authentication and the correct domain\user.  I also browse to find the service so the
    URL should be correct. The error that I am getting is as follows:
    "Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService. The specified URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report server version or configuration. Specify a different URL, or contact your server administrator to verify that
    the report server runs SQL Server 2008 or later. Additionally, if you are trying to connect to a SharePoint-integrated report server, verify that SharePoint is installed on the server and that the report server uses SharePoint integrated mode. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
    Program Location:
       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSClientConnection.CreateConnection()
       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.GetRSConnectionObject(Boolean ensureOpenConnection)
       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.RSTypeImpl.ProceedWithConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci)

       at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.Connector.ConnectionThreadUser()
    I have tried fixing the installation with the installation disk, removing the report service instance and reinstalling it, using the administrator account instead of mine (with is of course an administrator).  I'm at a loss right now.  I have spent
    about 12 hours trying to track this down and so far nothing has worked.  I'm about ready to reinstall the entire operating system and start all over.  I thought that I would try this venue before going to that extreme.
    Any thoughts, questions, or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Tom
    Tom L

    "Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
    Hello Tom,
    It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
    In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
    go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

  • Error calling report FRM-41213 unable to connect to Report Server

    Hi,
    I have installed Oracle Database 10g R2 and Oracle Developer 10gR2.
    I installed it in both Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2.
    I would like to call a Report using a button inside Oracle Form.
    I create my own Report Server, using : rwserver server=repsrv
    A Java-based window appear OracleAS Reports Sevice, and showed that repsrv is ready.
    In Form (inside a button -> WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED) :
    1. Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
       rep_id := find_report_object('REPORT10');
         if not id_null(rep_id) then
           v_rep := run_report_object(rep_id);
         else
              message('Null');
       end if;
       a. If I did not specify the name of the Report Server in Reports node of Form's property object
    (I leave it blank)
    The following error appear :

    b. If I specify the name of the Report Server : repsrv
    The following error appear :

    rwrun report="D:\My Documents\form\module1.jsp" userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname="D:\My Documents\form\module2.pdf"
    The PDF file created and it looks exactly as the web layout as in Oracle Report Builder (Run Web Layout CTRL-R)
    Question :
    1. What supposed to be done?
    The Report server is ready, but the web browser seems unable to connect to Report Server.
    2. Can we used or call or executed an executable command line from Form (using PL/SQL inside button)?
    Any help would be grateful.
    Many thanks,
    Buntoro

    Hi,
    Problem solved.
    I got the solution from another post.
    Re: REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server rep failed
    Here are the step I did.
    Note : Please make backup for the following file : rwnetwork.conf
    - In file rwnetwork.conf, remove or commented the following
    <multicast channel="228.5.6.7" port="14021" timeout="1000" retry="3"/>
    - And then uncommented
    <namingService name="Cos" host="%NAMING_HOST%" port="%NAMING_PORT%"/>
    - replace the
    %NAMING_HOST% with your computer name or specify an IP address
    %NAMING_PORT% with 14021
    It should look like this :
    <namingService name="Cos" host="blahblah" port="14021"/>
    - I did not change the : name="Cos", since I do not understand what does it for
    - Save you changes.
    - Start the OC4J.
    - Find the location of : namingservice.bat (on Windows platform)
    - execute in the command line : namingservice.bat 14021
    - finally start the report in the web browser
    Note:
    To shutdown the namingservice, use : namingservice.bat 14021 shutdown

  • How to resolve on my iPad: Unable to connect to server error when trying to log into Game Center?

    When I try to log into the game center, i get an error message that says: unable to connect to server due to an error communicating with the server.
    I have logged off iTune and any other app I was logged in, I have done a hard reset of my iPad, I have reset my modem, but nothing had any impact and I am now frozen out of my game center.
    Anybody has an idea of how to resolve this?
    Thanks,

    1) May be there is a mismatch with the jar file name and the filename in the jad properties ( happens only if you rename the jar file)
    2) Check hollywood jad properties and the ringtone jad properties. May be the complete url is required for the jar file.
    3) If you are using any restricted APIs in your midlet, then make sure your jad properties has the required permissions.

    The local Admin Password was reset to the "original" (after install) one.
    Any ideas how to fix the problem?

    Dear all,
    the encryption was NO on all protocols.
    Because no additional ideas available, i uninstalled the SQL Server on friday.
    At the Re-Install Process i got again an error:
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
    other end of the pipe .
    The install process failed.
    On google i found the same problem in an other thread:
    http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect/browse_thread/thread/dbec4a9a271f69a6/7cd22694da3a6062?lnk=st&q=%22Shared+Memory+Provider%3A+No+process+is+on+the+other+end+of+the+pipe%22&rnum=2&hl=en#7cd22694da3a6062
    ++++++
    During the installation process of SQL Server 2005, Setup complains it cannot
    connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was:
    [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
    other end of the pipe .
    I have checked that the pipe exists (\\.\pipe\SQLLocal\MyInstance), but
    everytime the installer attempts the connecting the pipe is closed by the
    server and another is reopened. That's why the Client says there is no
    process on the other end of the pipe.
    I have re-installed 'everything', tried connections via TCP, but nothing
    works.
    I have made a small application to connect to the pipe and noticed that
    there are 3 instances of the pipe running, one that I am connecting to, and 2
    listening pipes. If I write to 'my' pipe SQL server disconnects the pipe and
    reopens another too. The difference is that SQL server writes an error
    message in the log file. No such luck when the Native client is doing the
    same.
    What more can I do?
    ++++++
    and an answer
    ++++++
    I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
    I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
    (in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
    I renamed it to another name and re-installed sql server.
    I noticed that sql server ERRORLOG complained about certificate that it
    couldn't load and the generation of a self-generaed certificate (see below)
    "2005-12-10 21:01:02.30 Server      The server could not load the
    certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following
    error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.
    2005-12-10 21:01:02.49 Server      A self-generated certificate was
    successfully loaded for encryption."
    Now the installation succeeded
    ++++++
    With Windows 2008 it was really a challange to get access to this folder (!!!)
    After clearing the folder the ReInstall of SQL Server works fine.
    Now the SQL Server & the SQL Server Agent works again.
    The problem was anything with encryption, old certs & files.
    I don't think that everyone can afford reinstalling SQL server.
    I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
    I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
    (in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
    I think this is what the following blog was saying , a problem with certification
