We constantly lose connection to the server

We have an Leopard based Apple server and constantly lose connection.  Our wireless router is an AT&T.  We have no disruption to internet service.  Any ideas on how we can maintain connection?

  • IMacs lose connection to windows server

    We have recently moved over to macs in the office, so previously we had 3 PC's all connected to a WD Sentinel server where we access large files between us rather than keeping information on the computer.
    We have slowly been moving over to iMacs but the problem is these lose connection to the server, so for example if we are transferring large image files, they will just stop, or if accessing catelogs on Lightroom that are stored on the server, we have to 'find missing folders'. This can happen every hour. The connection is also overall slower (for example loading previews/thumbnails) compared to the PC's, which arent even spec'd as high as the iMacs. It also has nothing to do with it going to sleep, it can happen in the middle of working.
    All iMacs are connected via ethernet as the PC's were. The WD is meant to be compatible with macs and pc's, which is why we bought it.
    Ideally I want to avoid having to splash out money on a Time Capsule and connect them all via thunderbolt, but wanted to check if this is my only option?

    I would guess the user's Windows account is corrupted. Since Error -36 is a read/write error, it could occur if the user's server account record is damaged. Since you can use this Mac to logon to other accounts, the Mac is probably fine. Since other Macs can still logon, the Windows server 2003 is fine. This points toward a corrupted account.
    I've experienced this phenomenon with Windows accounts and Windows PCs.
    A test would be to logon to this user's account from another machine on the network, either Mac or PC. Failure from another machine would point to corruption of that account on the Windows 2003 server. If corrupt, it will need to be deleted and re-created. Backup any server data for this account, since deleting the account will destroy any server data for this account.

  • I am having a problem accessing my Yahoo email account.  It keeps saying, cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed.  Then I put my email in settings and it works but this happens constantly.  Anyone having this problem?

    My Yahoo email asks me daily for my email password or says the connection to the server failed.  Is anyone having this problem currently?  I noticed old messages in chat mentioned the same problem.  I get into my Yahoo email fine on my desktop computer for several weeks without re entering a password.  But the IPad does not seem to be connecting daily with Yahoo without putting a password in again. 

    So, I didn't change anything and now it is working better. I still get the odd error though.
    I have a feeling this has something to do with the SSL update Apple released and it was their server side.

  • Officejet pro 8500A; loses ability to connect to the server

    Hi all,
    For the past month or so, my network printer has developed a glitch.  Everytime I or my family sends a document to print, we see the messaging "preparing to print" and the printer never prints!  I ran the printer trouble shooting on my Windows 7 professional and was given the message:  "The printer was unable to connect to the server.  You can connect to the printer to the internet through a proxy server, to do so, touch Enter Proxy and enter details when prompted" 
    Well, I've never used a proxy.  My printer was working fine till recently.
    The only temporary "fix" I could come up with was to shut down the printer and power it back on.  It would go through a checking printheads or cleaning printheads, etc.  Sometimes the "eprint" button would be circled in red. If so, I hit it and asked to retry finding the server.  This usually works.  After all this, I had a small ( 1hour?) window that I could print or scan documents.  After this, the printer develops a case of amnesia and I'm back to square one.
    I've downloaded the latest drivers.  Windows updates are current.
    This is getting extremely  frustrating.  What the heck is going on???
    Thanks

    Hello @fsh42na, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are experiencing some network issues with your Officejet Pro 8500A.
    I would like to help.
    The printers ability to connect to the Web Services server should have no impact on your local network printing.
    It sounds to me like you have two separate issues.
    Your temporary fix of turning off the printer is a step in the right direction.
    When your printer powers back on, it connects with the router. This new connection is what gives you the ability to print.
    Since it only lasts for an hour try the following:
    Turn off your printer and other network devices.
    Unplug the power cord to your router for at least a minute.
    plug the power cord back into the router.
    Turn on the printer and other network devices.
    Test print.
    If you use the Web Services (ePrint) feature on your printer, try setting a manual DNS.
    Though the server connection issue will probably get resolved with the network reset, the manual DNS will not hurt anything.
    The following reply by happytohelp01, has instructions for setting a manual DNS.
    Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
    The post is for a Photosmart 7510, but the steps should be very similar.
    If you need any further assistance, please let me know.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server" in iTunes after migrating to new mac

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy with my brand new iMac. I see many other people posting similar issues, but none of the other solutions seem to work for me.
    I had a MacPro and bought a new iMac, on which I used Migration Assistant to set up. So the new iMac is virtually the same as my old machine in terms of appearance and installed applications. Both machines have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. All software on both machines has been through Software Update and is fully up to date, as are the connected devices (iPhone and iPad).
    The problem is with iTunes. Every time I start iTunes (I think at the moment it checks my two connected devices) I get a pop up dialogue saying:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "MacPro".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    This dialogue continues to pop up constantly as long as iTunes is open, interrupting my work and frustrating me no end. The old machine is of course turned off and indeed is not available -- but I can't find what on the new iMac is so desperate to connect to it.
    So far I have tried completing erasing my iTunes library, deleting all the preferences, reinstalling iTunes from a fresh download of the dmg, safe rebooting several times with no peripherals connected at all, and deleteing other preferences like the Login Items, iPhone config and iPhoto. I have also cleared Recent Items from the apple menu and opened "Connect to Server" in the finder and cleared all servers from the dropdown menu.
    Last night I also completely restored my iPhone from scratch to see if that would clear away the issue and I have connected both iPhone and iPad to go through any apps that have permission to write content to my computer and deleted all of them completely from the devices.
    Nothing has changed at all after all that, and I have run out of ideas. Clearly there is something somewhere that has my old machine's name hard coded in it but I can't see any way to search for it. I would grep my Library folder but I think a lot of the files are binary so I'm not sure that would unearth anything. I've seen many posts saying that Apple phone support (which I would qualify for) can't help with this issue and so I have put off phoning them to simply run through all the things I've already tried.
    Any advice that anyone could offer would be extremely helpful. I can't use iTunes at all like this as it disrupts everything I try to do on the new machine.
    many thanks!!

    Nothing at all? Can't anyone help with this issue at all? I would be grateful for any suggstions as it is driving me crazy. It happens every time I open iTunes and also every time I open Mail.

  • The connection to the server was reset while the p...

    For the past week i keep getting the below error page every minute or so--->
    "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
      The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
        moments.
      If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
        connection.
      If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
        that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
    When i refresh the page it usually goes through as normal or does it again and needs to refresh again. Seems like every 1-2 mins i get a period of 15-20 secs of this.
    Is this the connection droppping or another error altogether??  If its not actually the connection dropping will this affect gaming online (xbox 360, Battlefield 3)?
    I believe Infinity is rolling out in my village (ST8  7__) (Biddulph Moor) next month. Could this be the reason?  Its not the sites/pages im visiting as its happening no matter what site i visit.
    I have done the quiet line test (17070) and thats fine.  My hub details and speedtest is below. As far as i know we connected to the master socket.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated
    I cant do the btspeedtest as the bill payer is away so i cant find out the Serice ID.  I have done a test on speedtest.net if thAt is any good

    I dont believe so no. And the speed isnt an issue for me. I live in a village in the sticks so never had over 2.5mb. The issue is the error i get all the time. Ive had problems in the past where my connection would drop and i would have to wait to connect again before continuing. That was along time ago. This seems a different error. And is instantly fixed a refresh.
    So if my connection doesnt actually drop will this affect online gaming?
    Could this error be due to infinity coming to my area next month?
    The reasn its an issue for me at the moment is because im a memeber of a few survey sites where i get paid to take surveys. This error causes me so much trouble. I i click a survey and this error occurs then i lose that survey.... so its actually preventing me from making money :-(
    I think we will be getting infinity at the end of april. But if this isnt anything to do with inifinty and is actually a problem with my line then im concerned this will continue.
    Since i heard a week or so ago inifinity was rolling out in my village in april this problem seems to have started. So im guessing its due to infinty.
    Could it be? and when infinity is running in my village could this problem cease?

  • Connection failed - The server "name" mayt not exist or it is unavailable..

    I've been connecting my 24" iMac with my 15" MacBookPro either over the WiFi or via Ethernet for months to share hard drive space & to save time transfering files constantly.
    But now, all of a sudden, I'm getting the following error message:
    +*Connection Failed*+
    +The Server "MacBookProName" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.+
    After this, I succeded in being able to connect via Share Screen and via Web Sharing. It is only not working when I access through finder. Also, it's not letting me click on "Connect As..." so I can't check if it's entering the correct info too.
    Both Macs are 10.6.6 and both have software fully updated.
    Help!?

    Fixed.. Was firewall settings on the MacBookPro

  • How can I disable incesant rambling alarm "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" in FF17?

    In using FF 17.0.1 in a WinXP/SP3 notebook (Acer) while traveling abroad I get unrelenting rambling and totally inconsequential display alarms "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The page in question looks perfectly fine and there is NO problem whatsoever in its display. The only problem is this annoyingly useless alarm, which forces the screen display to the tab where the supposed error occurred when one is in a different tab -- in a couple of instances, this absolutely unnecessary, forced jump to a different tab has made me lose data being entered in a different tab.
    The notebook is extremely lean in its booting process -- no shared DLLs preloaded; no crapware; limited essential start-ups; trimmed unused or irrelevant services. The alarm occurs:
    (1) with FF and the OS in either normal or safe mode (i.e., both safe mode, both normal mode, or one safe mode and the other normal mode);
    (2) using different Western European ISPs;
    (3) using different DNS servers (either default European ones, or manually selected top-tier U.S. servers);
    (4) and with a number of different web pages (such as many in sites of news organizations) but not in all pages (for instance, none of the different Google server pages).
    The alarm does NOT occur browsing the same pages with either Chrome, Opera or IE.
    I have not been able to find a clearly marked entry for such an alarm in about:config, and am weary of start changing alarms settings blindly. The text of this alarm is not found in firefox.exe so it must be in one of its associated libraries. Given that this alarm is COMPLETELY WORTHLESS, especially in its manic wanton conditions, can some one give me an informed opinion on how to disable it? TIA

    Thanks for responding, David. Using <Esc> and <CtrlW> might reduce the time in returning to the other tab, but does little when the triggering of a wanton alarm is very frequent. The connections I have used were extremely reliable and fast. I am using at this moment a 54 Mbps WiFi connection that lives up to its ratings in downloading & uploading data; yet, as shown in the attached image, I still get this worthless alarm. I do not know if this problem happens with my regular ISP since I have been using this tiny notebook only when traveling -- will test that once I am back mostly for curiosity, but even then if then the alarm were not triggered this would be of little consolation, since other browsers do not have the problem right now).
    As a moderator, I urge you to ask the Mozilla-powers-to-be why there is no way to turn off the alarm with, say, a true/false switch in about:config (mind you, there is still old-versions junk in this config list, so it isn't we are talking about amending the constitution). Complains about this fugly alarm can be traced in the web as far back as 2010 at least. Besides, what is the advantage of the alarm for the average user? When FF users are still posing amazingly basic questions in forums of Firefox or Mozilla support, such an alarm ought to be _off_ by default and should be an option of advanced settings menu. This annoyance shows how much the critical focus on keeping a simple GUI uncluttered by trivial or higher-level messages still needs to evolve for Firefox, which I have used it since it was known a Firebird. Guess will have to switch to Chrome now while abroad.
    Happy Holidays

  • There was a problem connecting to the server (again)

    Dear All
    There have been many posts with "problem connecting to the server" errors, but they all one way or another get corrupted with Time Machine responses. I have seen threads with a similar problem to mine, but there is no clear answer. So, for this thread please do not make reference to Time Machine. I have never used it.
    I get an error "There was a problem connecting to the server "NAME""
    The server may not exiost or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    The server is my old laptop running Snow Leopard. I don't use this computer anymore because I have bought a MacBook Pro riunning LIon.
    The error is on my iMac, which I have recently upgraded to Lion. Now that I am not using my Snow Leopard laptop this error is impossible; my iMac is becoming unusable because I cannot type more than 10 words without this error warning.
    As I said, I do not use Time Machine, so that cannot be the problem. It is off. I simply need my iMac to completely forget about my old laptop.
    Any help appreciated.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server message

    I have started to get the following message when I run Final Cut Pro X There was a problem connecting to the server “soundmedia”
    The “sound media” server is a PC running windows XP and is switched off.
    I closed all libraries & set up a new library - with nothing in it. There was a problem connecting to the server “soundmedia” still appears. when "ok" is clicked the message clears then reappears 10-15 sec later.
    I have tried the following:
    Cleared recent servers in Finder ie 
    Finder, Go, Connect to Server, then Click on the little clock in “connect to server window” then click clear recent servers.
    Deleted FCPX preferences by:
    press and hold Option + Cmd while launching FCP X from the Dock. A dialog appears asking if you want to trash Final Cut’s preference files. Clicked Delete
    Deleted all FCPX entries in OS X/ Library/Preferences  & deleted all entries in Trash before reloading FCPX
    Repaired permissions on system disc
    Created  a new user.  “There was a problem connecting to the server “soundmedia” has not reappear on the new user.
    If I switch on the soundmedia server & click “ok” the message disappears (when I am logged in
    to my original account.)
    I am the only user on this iMac, something must be wrong with my user account. Any ideas
    what it might be? Has anyone got a software patch that can be loaded to prevent the message
    from constantly reappearing? Once acknowledged it surely shouldn’t keep reappearing.
    It is a nuisance and a waste of energy having to have a server which is not required powered
    up just so the message does not reappear.

    I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
    1. Obtain your printer's IP address
    a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
    2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
    3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
    4. On the left select networking.
    5. Select Network Address (IP)
    6. Select Manual DNS Server
    a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
    b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
    7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.

  • I cannot update, it just says its connecting to the server and does nothing but sit there.

    (1) -Firefox keeps crashing for no reason. (2) -I am offered an update but when I say yes to update, the window shows that my MacBook Pro is trying to connect to the server. However, this goes on for hour after hour and never actually connects, or downloads the update. I have also a MacBook Air, which shows the same symptoms.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Outlook Mac Loses Connection to Exchange Server

    Hi All,
    I've had this problem pretty since deployment a couple of weeks ago, so I'm hoping some one can point me in the right direction.  I'm running Exchange 2013 on a Server 2012 Standard box with the DC running on a different box, every thing up to date.
    Mac clients running Outlook 2011 (14.4.2).
    Periodically throughout the day, Outlook loses connection to Exchange server.  After several minutes, it will connect back up, and seems to operate normally.  During the down time, I am able to connect to OWA, and ActiveSync seems to work as well.
    If I run the Remote Connectivity Analyzer while Outlook is responding, I get no errors and the "Connectivity Test Successful" message.  However, if I run it while Outlook is NOT responding, I get the following:
    Exchange Web Services synchronization, notification, availability, and Automatic Replies.

    Following the adice I've seen online so far, I've:
    I've made sure the auto discover in DNS points to the Exchange server.
    I've disable auto-discover on the client, manually adding accounts, tried using their FQDN, local IP, LAN IP.
    I've made exceptions to the proxie on the client.
    Just not sure where to look next?  Appreciate any advice out there.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Before we go further, I'd like to confirm if your Outlook clients can work well when your Outlook MAC clients come across the issue.
    If the issue only happens on your Outlook MAC clients, we can check the IIS log and confirm if there is any error releted to EWS. And you can recreate your EWS virtual directory to have a test.
    Thanks,

  • Iphone 5s mail set up error - The connection to the server failed

    I've had hotmail, gmail, and exchange gmail set up on my new iphone 5 and now 5s but the 5s will not connect with my any of the accounts. I'm hoping to keep the exchange gmail and calendar since they were set up before the support was dropped. How do I regain connection to the mail servers for all accounts? Error message says: Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server has failed. If I delete the accounts and add them back will I lose support to sync gmail through exchange??? Please help!!!

    Contact the email provider to troubleshoot the issue.
    Does any other feature of the device that requires Internet access work?

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
