Unable to connect to update server

I tend not to use my Mac very often; I only use it for very select things, one of which is managing my iPod.  I recently relocated from Canada to South Korea, and I just now tried to check if my iOS version was the most recent.  For the first time ever I got an error message saying that iTunes (latest version) could not connect to the update server to check if my iOS version was the latest version.  I seemed to be able to do anything else I wanted on the internet though.  Is there something wrong with the server (at around 2 pm EST on Wednesday Sep 7) or what else might have happened?
Thanks.

Nevermind.  I tried again when I woke up this morning and it seems to work now.  Don't know what was going on but it seems to be resolved.

  • Rec'd dialog box saying to update, in attempting to do so, I then rec'd a msg saying "unable to connect to update server". What do i then do?

    What more can I say, that is it!!!

    If you feel the urge to update to new versions you can always download the newest version from Mozilla, as a package.
    Just visit here and download the latest version:
    [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Download Firefox Latest Version]
    Or you can download any older version here:
    [http://ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Releases]
    '''IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions might have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. If you really want to downgrade the recommended version is 3.6.21. Thank you for paying attention!'''

  • Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G(on 64 bit Linux box)

    We are unable to connect to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G which is on 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
    Infrastructure: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 64bit, on 64 bit Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5.6 , MS SQL Server 2008 on 64 bit Microsoft Windows Server
    Issue Description: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE11G RPD
    Details: We are unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE which is on a 64 bit Linux box. We created the ODBC connection on Linux box to the SQL server. Whenever we try to import metadata it throws an error that says ‘Connection Failed’.
    Here are the steps we followed to setup the ODBC connection on Linux box.
    1) We updated the user.sh file with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 values that point to $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/odbc/lib
    This is where we found the driver for SQL server SEmsss23.so.
    2) We updated the odbc.ini file with the entry for SQL server with the connection details
    SI_SQL_Server_DEV = SQL Server
    [SI_SQL_Server_DEV]
    Driver=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/odbc/lib/SEmsss23.so
    Description=DataDirect 5.1 SQL Server Wire Protocol
    Address=10.230.216.52,54970
    AlternateServers=
    AnsiNPW=Yes
    ConnectionRetryCount=0
    ConnectionRetryDelay=3
    Database=SVBDW_NEW
    LoadBalancing=0
    LogonID=SIDatavalidation
    Password=~~~Password123
    QuoteID=No
    ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
    3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
    4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.
    Export ODBCINI=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/odbc.ini
    The error in nqsserver.log file says “[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.”

    Hi,
    Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
    Method 1
    Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
    define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
    Method 2:
    try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
    Method 3:
    To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
    hope helps you.
    Thanks
    Deva

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus "unable to connect to the server"

    I have had this printer for a couple years and now it is saying it is unable to connect to the server.  The light under the wifi symbol is not lit up and nothing happens when I press that button.  
    I have restarted the printer, reinstalled the driver, restarted the router ... to no avail.
    The router is working properly as my 2 computers are both working.

    Hi bhappie,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I gather that you are unable to connect your Officejet 8500A plus printer to your wireless network.
    This printer can be connected by an ethernet cable or connected to your wireless network but cannot support both simultaneously as referenced in the document The Printer Does Not Support Ethernet (Wired) and Wireless Network Connections at the Same Time.  To setup the wireless feature you will need to unplug the ethernet cable.  
    Your wireless printer can be easily connected to your wireless network from the front panel of your printer.  If you are unsure how to do this the instructions can be found in your User Guide on page 219 in the section titled “To set up a wireless communication using the Wireless Setup Wizard”.  
    Now that the printer has a wireless connection, any computer that uses the printer, will need to have the connection method updated.  The instructions on how to do this can also be found in your User Guide on page 221 in the section titled “Change the connection method”.  There is a sub-section dedicated to Windows operating systems and one dedicated to Mac operating systems.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • I have a ipad mini and it says that it has perect wifi yet when i go into safari it says unable to connect with the server how can i fix this?

    I have a ipad mini and i have had it for less then a year, it says that i have perfect wifi up in the left corner where the wifi is always at  but when ever i go into the built in safari it says that it is unable to connect with the server. How can i fix this because with out it connecting to the server or internet it is kind of useless to me. I do have ios7 if that helps

    The wifi symbol only indicates the presence/signal strength of wifi. Not that you are connected.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • SSRS 2008 - Unable to connect to remote server

    Win2k3 R2 SP2/SQL Server 2008 instance with SSRS/Visual Studio 2008
    I installed SQL 2008 and SSRS with native mode default configuration.
    All SQL 2008 services are running under "NT Authority\Network Service" account.
    When i try to deploy a new report, I get the "Unable to connect to remote server" error.
    The deploy operation creates empty folders on the web server (hosted by the SQL Server 2008 service)
    for e.g.
    my instance name is <machinename>$sql2008. i configured the WebService URL and the Reports Manager URL to port 85
    the deploy from VS creates ssrs2008Test folder and a Shared Data Sources folder in the following virtual directory
      - Report Manager URL: http://<machinename>:85/Reports_SQL2008/
      - Web Service URL: http://<machinename>:85/ReportServer_SQL2008
    however these folders are empty w/ no .rdl or .rds file. and i get the "Unable to connect to remote server"  error in Visual Studio 2008 when i deploy it.
    is there something else i have to tweak in either the SQL Server/SSRS Configuration Manager or the Windows Server Settings(like port settings or group policy) to get the reports to work?
    thanks

  • MDM 71 - mdm console and clix - unable to connect to database server

    Hi,
    environment, MDM 7.1, AIX 6, Oracle 10.2.0.4 (installed as part of a standalone java AS)
    i've an issue. I have installed MDM 71 via sapinst, before that I installed a standalone java application server. During the installation, i gave the 'oracle client', 'oracle home' and 'oracle sqlplus utility' to be those of the oracle database installed for the java AS.
    After sapinst completed I tested my connection to the database via
    tnsping <SID> = OK
    sqlplus system/passwd@<SID> = OK
    When i start up the mdm console (7.1.02.90) i can mount the MDM server, BUT when I try to configure the database settings i get
    error  'unable to connect to database server'
    I get the same error when i use clix dblist
    Error: 0x84020004, Unable to connect with Database Server
    Has anybody got any ideas.

    To see why the MDM is not able to connect to database, do the following:
    % cd /usr/sap/<SID>/MDSxx/log
    % ls -ltr
    You will find last updated log file with name like MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
    % tail -100 MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
    You will see the reason for not being able to connect. If the reason is:
    ",MDSAdminServerXGetAvailableReps,Oracle_DBConnection.cpp,205,,,,server_user,server_global,,,

  • "Unable to connect to secure server." Why?

    Safari previously operating OK under OS 10.3.9 suddenly starts reporting "Unable to connect to secure server" with a number of (maybe all?) <https://> sites. Explorer doesn't exhibit this problem. Removing Safari .plist, clearing caches, and removing ~/Library/Safari folder do not help.
    Any ideas on what to try next?
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    I am running OS X 10.3.9 as well. I normally use Firefox as my browser, it runs fine. However all my software updates use Safari as their browser, so I have stopped getting all security updates. Also, I've been unable to access the iTunes Music Store, and Photoshop Elements hasn't worked in a while (I assume they use Safari to connect to the internet).
    Does anyone know of a fix. Or how do I simply get Software Updates, iTunes, and Photoshop to start connecting through Firefox?
    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Can not restore ipad 2. Unable to connect to activation server, server is temporarily unavailable??

    Hi Anson/JimHdk,
    I triple checked to makes sure my SSID and passwords are right.
    I found the MAC Address filter is not turned on...
    I don't think there's maximum number of connection for the router (I turned my 2 other devices on Airplane mode when checking) and it still didn't work. 
    I don't know how to durn off DHCP and use static IP address....
    There's no firmware update available for my router as it's 8 years old....
    My brother says I will need to get a new router....   hopefully that will work....
    Thank you both for offering these additional checks!
