Unable to find activation server

Just had my phone unlocked and then upgraded the O/S on my 3GS. Now I cannot activate it for some reason. Called Apple support who now say there is nothing they can do, however for £126 they will gladly sell me a replacement phone.
They it is my choice to upgrade the OS, therefore my issue if it doesn't work. Is this a scam?

It makes a difference because some hacks / jailbreaks can alter the phone in such a way as to render it unable to activate if the phone is restored or updated.
The only thing you can do that might get it working is find out what carrier it is locked to and contact them regarding a legitimate unlock.
You don't say how, exactly, you got it unlocked.
If you did have it legitimately unlocked and it still won't activate, then you may as well sell it for scrap and buy a new one.

Buying a used iPhone from unofficial place.
1.) Your iPhone maybe locked to a certain carrier.
2.) The sim may not be compatible.
3.) Maybe it was jailbroken.
Find out from the seller the 3 points I've mentioned.

I received a message to upgrade my Firefox version . It went to successful completion but I get a message unable to find proxy server?

After updating to latest version of Firefox i am unable to access internet. Get message Unable to find proxy server. This update also disable internet explorer so I cannot use it to access either. The desktop that I am having trouble with is running Windows XP Professional.

hi, please check in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' if firefox is set up to directly connect to the internet ('no proxy').
and maybe also run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

WiFi unable to find requested server...

I have an 8120 Pearl and I successfully connected to my home WiFi network. But, whenever i try to access a website, google.com for example, I'm getting "unable to find the requested server". I don't have a BB data plan, but I shouldn't need one when using wifi, so what could it be? I have security enabled WPA and I'm able to connect using my iPhone and 3 laptops... does WPA have anything to do with it?
The browser is set to hotspot browser and also here are my wifi diagnostics:
WiFi
Current Profile: HZ_wifi
SSID: HZ_wifi
Security Type: Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.4
Signal level: -49dBm
Connection Data Rate: 48Mbps
Status: Network acquired
I've tried power cyclying the router and that didn't help, I am able to connect via wifi on my friends network so it can't be the phone, and its not the router, i can only think its that the two are incompatible, could this be the case?

I do have the exact problem with my bold, I have my laptop and a nokia phone connected to home wi-fi and both working perfectly.
the issue with the bold is that it connects to the wi-fi network but it works only for few minutes and then the browser says: "Unable to find requested server" and the Wi-fi mark changes to gray after i was able to visit few sites. i dont have or intend to have a data plan as I have access to Wi-fi connection almost all the time. I have tried resetting the router and it didn't work. Any one with the right solution???

I keep getting 'unable to find requested server' while trying to go on internet

I bought the Blackberry curve last week and have had pblms connecting to home wi fi. I have it all set up and the fone recognises the wi fi on it and only let me connect once to the wi fi. After that it keeps coming up with the message - unable to find requested server - even though it did work once the first time after I had set up the wi fi wizard. I had put in the key. Can someone help please.

Hi gerrybl,
Welcome to the Suppport Forums!
Can you provide more information please?
Do you have a data plan with your wireless provider that includes internet browsing?
Are you able to complete all the steps in this blog post to connect to Wi-Fi? http://bbry.lv/oXh7oV
Are you able to connect to any other Wi-Fi networks or Hotspots?
Thanks,
-FS

Unable to find requested server

have a contract with a data plan but when I try to use my wifi at home it says that I am connected but when I go to the internet brower it tells me "Unable to find requested server". This only happends on my wifi at home. My other devices work without a problem on my home wifi. What do I need to do to get my Blackberry Torch 9800 to work off from my home wifi?

I had this problem untl I setup a Hom Network that included my smartphone which shows up with it's own separate IP address. My office PC is the host and it is ethernet or wired network. I have 2 wire gateway wifi modem and all is supported by my carrier. I feel confident if you contact your ISP and ask for help in setting up a Home Network your problem will be solved. Btw, make sure your wireless Customer Service is informed by their Internet Service Support and by yourself. Good luck

Error message - Unable to find proxy server - how can I solve this problem

When I try to enter some sites I get the error message: Unable to find the proxy server, Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found. This happened suddenly and I'm not sure why or how I can fix it, it doesn't help that most help site are blocked. Im using a Mac 10.5.8 and Firefox 15.

You can check the connection settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

Forest trust unable to find Active Directory Domain Controller

I have two domains with a two-way forest trust. We'll call them ForestA and ForestB. They're on seperate subnets. ForestA's DCs are in one physical location. ForestB's DCs are in two locations, one of which is shared with A.
I'm unable to route traffic directly from the remote DC in ForestB to the subnet ForestA is on, so I created a new DC in ForestA that sits on the subnet ForestB uses (basically, I can't route between subnets via the wireless bridge between locations, but
can within the same location).
I found this: http://www.neomagick.net/zen/2008/11/30/using-dns-to-force-a-domain-trust-through-a-specific-domain-controller-dc/
I followed the instructions to set the new DC in forest A to be the only one the remote DC in forest B was aware of.
Nslookup ForestA.com resolves correctly to this DC, but I'm unable to validate the trust relationship, getting the error:
"Windows cannot find an Active Directory Domain Controller for the ForestA.com domain. Verify that an AD DC is available and then try again."
I'd appreciate any help.

In the event viewer, have you found any event id's that corrospond with this error? Have you ensured all ports required are open? Windows firewall is correctly setup? NIC is properly configured?
Statement below taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961803.aspx
If you receive the following error, ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS while using the Nltest tool to query the secure channel, this is usually indicative of the inability to find a domain controller for that domain. Run nltest /dsgetdc: < DomainName > : to verify
whether you can locate a domain controller. If you are unable to find a domain controller examine DNS registrations and network connectivity.

WRT160N V2 - Web Browser unable to find home server using server name, IP address OK.

Hi, I have just got a WRT160N V2, it is working fine apart from one irritating issue. I am unable to browse a web server running on my local network by the computers (servers) name. If I use the IP address it works fine. Viewing my shared files and folders with Windows Explorer using servers name also works fine. The problem seems to be limited to web browsers, I have tried Internet Explorer and Chrome, neither can find the server using its name, using IP address they can. I have checked NetBIOS settings on all connected computers and they are ok. If I switch back to my old Netgear router the problem goes away. So, it seems it's something specific the the WRT160N. This isn't a huge issue as I can fix by adding a line in the Hosts file. I just wondered if this is a known issue?
Many Thanks
Ian

The first thing that you can try is upgrading the firmware of the router..
Reset the router for 30 sec , reconfigure the router again and then try to setup the web browser for the server.

Safari unable to find Hotmail server

I am about to scream.
First, my Mail application on my MacBook kept saying that all of my email account's passwords were incorrect. Once I thought I had tackled that problem yesterday by visiting each email site to ensure my password was, in fact, correct, I get on my computer today to discover that my Hotmail account in the Mail app is unable to be connected. I try, then, to visit Hotmail/Outlook's website, and I keep receiving the error: "Safari can't find the server." I am trying to post a question/concern on Outlook's Support Boards, but that requires me to log in, and the "Can't find server" error keeps coming up.
Is there something wrong with my computer, or is Hotmail/Outlook down for today? My important emails are sent to that account, so if it is something I can fix, please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

See if Open DNS helps .. Apple recommends it here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try accessing your Hotmail account.
If Safari can access your account, then you should be able to via the Mac Mail account as well.

Unable to find Active Users Concurrent Program in Submit Requests Form

We applied a patch 9647331 on our development instance (R12.1.1). It completed succesfully. But when we are trying to submit ACTIVE USERS concurrent request, we are unable to find it in the Submit Requests Form.
However, we are able to submit the Active Users program using CONCSUB.
Not sure if the patch has done anything.
Please suggest.

Have you verified if the concurrent program is added to the Request Group which is linked to this responsibility?
Not sure if the patch has done anything. I do not think so. Was the patch applied successfully included all pre-reqs?

Unable to find the server in the MMC

Hi Uma,
Open your SAP MMC and from menu option select file->add/remove snapin...
Click on add button and then select "SAP Systems manager".
Click next on the next screen and then specify System ID, Instance (as hostname instanceNumber) and then click on add button.
It will add this system in the list in sapmmc.

PGP Unable To Find Universal Server Keys

Recently we have been coming across an issue with PGP on our blackberries. Basically PGP becomes unable to locate any keys from our universal server. It therefore defaults to plain text and sends the message in clear. If the user then manually selects ‘PGP sign and encrypt’ it searches for a few seconds then says it cannot find the relevant key.
It has happened multiple times for different users/handsets with no real indication or pattern to it. The users have all had the devices working perfectly for different periods of time; Some a couple of weeks, others nearly 2 years. The issue doesn’t always get resolved the same way. For example on some occasions the issue seems to fix itself without any intervention, other times it requires clearing of the cache and then re-downloading the keys (sometimes multiple times with battery pulls inbetween). If that doesn’t work then a re-activation with the BES server tends to do the trick. Just to clarify, the BES server is working beautifully in every other aspect.
If anyone has come across this problem before and knows of either a one-stop solution for this issue or even better some way of preventing it from occurring that would be most appreciated

Unable to find Active Directory Domain Groups via /_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx GetRoleCollectionFromGroup

Hi, I am writing a Powershell script locally on my machine to aggregate data from SharePoint 2010 and Active Directory. All groups in our SP environment are Active Directory Domain Groups (AD DG). Accessing group members via SharePoint is not
possible (as many of you already know). My plan was to pull Domain Group lists and aggregate AD DG data with SharePoint data (permission levels, etc...). I unfortunately ran into a problem when I realized that AD DGs are not considered "SP
Groups" but instead are considered user???
How do I leverage SharePoint web services to perform an action similar to /_vti_bin/UserGroup.asmx > GetRoleCollectionFromGroup? I do not want to perform this action on the server, but locally on my machine. When I run the below script
it throws a 401 error and complains it "can't find the group". Keep in mind I am trying to get info on a
AD Domain Group, not a
SharePoint Group. I think that is the underlying reason this request keeps failing as I tested the below script on SP groups and it worked perfectly.
