*URGENT* How can i get a website to load instead of saying "Can't connect to the server"
My computer is not loading a website. This is urgent for university work!! My computer keeps saying: "Can't connect to the server" no matter what internet browser i use, and other people with Mac's can use it fine! I need it for university work. PLEASE HELP ME!!
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait few minutes.
Plug it back in. Power on the router.
Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

We just had our modume replace and I am now trying to print on my HP Office Jet Pro
Hello mariamac80,
It sounds like you cannot print from your network printer on your MacBook. Printer issues can be a but tough to nail down, but I would recommend trying the troubleshooting in this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Upgraded to Mavericks, now I can't get some websites to load
I am not sure if the two issues are related, but I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks and now my internet browsers are really slow and I can't get some websites to load. When I check to see if the website is up, the response from http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is that it is just me. I assume it must be something with the upgrade as I did not have the issue prior to upgrading. I have tried accessing these sites in various browsers (Safari - preferred, Firefox, and Chrome), but none of them receive data from the site.
I also had a lot of trouble attaching a .jpg to an e-mail in Safari and Firefox. Google Chrome was finally able to get it to attach. I wonder if this is related.
Some of the websites that won't load are

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When i plug my phone into itunes for the ios update, it downloads but then says it cant connect to the server. How do i get my update?
Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
My additional advice:
Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes. -
Here's the sequence of events:
Setting up a new iMac.
Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
Now, the problem:
Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
Rebooting doesn't help
Ideas?never mind the problem is gone this morning.

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.

I can't get any updates or download any new apps from iTunes because I "cannot connect to the iTunes Store" or sometimes it says server. I have no trouble getting my email or surfing the Internet, so it is a problem specific to accessing iTunes. Incredibly frustrated! Please help!
Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How do i get my ipad enabled again? screen says ipad disabled,connect to itunes.
my ipad is saying connect to itunes. what needs to be done and why is it saying this?
I had this same problem
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
Follow these steps
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device. -
Can't get my website to load...get error message
I have built 3 websites in iweb. One of them is forwarded to an outside domain. I am having no problem accessing that website via the web. The other 2 however also keep getting forwarded to the outside domain. I think this is a simple fix but my tired old brain can't figure it out. I had bookmarked one of the websites @ http://web.mac.com/delaney303/donquadestudio/home.html....until last night I was able to access through the bookmark, but last night when I did that I got an error message that the website can't be found. Also i have no idea what the iweb address for the 3rd website is. The good news is that i have all of the website domains ....they are still there...they have not been deleted. Thanks for any help.

when i am given the option to "visit site now" for either the mazza or don quade I get taken to the www.robertdelaneyarts.com site on the web
Don't use the Visit Site Now button. It does not take you the right place (and that really doesn't matter either). Just make browser bookmarks for the urls you gave me and use those.
Normally I use bookmarks, to me it is just easier, but I couldn't find the mazza site to bookmark it and yesterday the donquade site bookmark stopped working and I got a .mac error message saying the page wasn't there ; probably for one of 3 reasons a) never published b) moved since published c) don't have .mac account I know I have a .mac account and the site has been published so I think somehow it is in the wrong place. I will quit using visit site now.
I want those websites to be found only by using the full iweb/.mac url because they aren't completed.
That's the case now.
I now understand that very important difference and distinction, and I understand that i had the way they worked backwards in my mind.
when they are completed I will have them both forward to their own unique non .mac url.
No, you will forward different unique urls to these two .Mac sites.
gotcha
To get rid of the misleading stuff at the bottom of iWeb and in the Visit Site Now button, try going to your .Mac Account Settings and getting rid of the stuff you did in the Personal Domain area. You are not using CNAME and thus you should have nothing entered in this area.
I started to do that at this screen:and got this message:
Personal Domain
.Mac is configured to host your domain:
www.robertdelaneyarts.com
If you entered the correct settings at your registrar more than 48 hours ago and your iWeb site still doesn't appear at your domain, try these troubleshooting tips....Personal Domain
So I selected to remove the domain and got this message
Are you sure you want to remove this domain?
If you remove this domain, your .Mac site will no longer be viewable at www.robertdelaneyarts.com
and now I am a big 'fraidy cat to remove it because I want people to be able to see it when they type in www.robertdelaneyarts. What am I missing...could I have just moved my domains somewhere and the computer can't find them? I think I have caused this problem and am still not sure what the next steps to follow are.
Thank you very much for your help and your patience. -
