What is this about: "There was a problem connecting to Facebook."

What is this about: "There was a problem connecting to Facebook. The operation couldn't be completed. OSStatus Error -1) and then I have to hit "Okay" sometimes over 100 times or just force quit Aperture. Happened again this morning and I had to hit "Okay" 55 times.

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the quick post! I checked the Login Items and it looked like there were three applications checked off that had uknown types next to their names. I unchecked them and hope to see this fix the pop up box.
I'll respond if this does or does not fix the pop up.
Thanks!

  • I keep getting this message - There was a problem connecting to "sdbc.corp" - I have no idea what server that is and it pops up almost every half hour. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Message - There was a problem connecting to the server “sdbc.corp” it just started showing up and I can't get rid of it! MAC OS x v.10.9.2 - Help!

    not sure why it would keep trying to connect.
    First I'd look in Finder on the "Go" menu up top as "Connect to Server" and see if Rick-Pc was listed in there and remove it from the list.

  • I continuously get this error: "There was a problem connecting to .mac.  The request timed out"

    I don't have a .mac acct - never have had one.  I have moved my Aperture library to an external harddrive - and changed that to the library.  It seems like I started having this problem around that time but I'm not sure.  When I get the error I click "OK" and it goes away, only to re-pop a minute later.  Tried running the reset permissions thing a few times.  The only response I found in the forums was from a couple years ago where they WERE trying to connect to .mac
    Aperture 3.1.2

    Strange, I got this error for the first time last night.  I have a 27" iMac (late 2010 model); with latest Aperture.  I recently added a Flickr account (have had a Facebook account on there for some time).  I was uploading some to my flickr account, and noticed that even though the "use actual size" setting was used, it was uploading tiny thumbnails and not the full version. 
    It was after this, that I got that error.  I haven't tried it again, as I'm now on my macbook at work.  Will try again tonight.
    I've also, NEVER had a .mac account, so no possibility of it being a legacy account.

  • "There was a problem connecting to the server.   URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.  Why?  What can be done to eliminate it?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repeatedly get this message:  "There was a problem connecting to the server.   URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. 
    Why? 
    What can be done to eliminate it?

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server "my server.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally.

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem connecting one of the office laptops (Macbook Pro 10.7) to the disk in the Apple Time Capsule.  It's just one laptop that has this problem and the other 3 no problems at all and they all run OS X 10.7 Lion, I can access the Time Capsule disk over WAN on all machines but locally on the problem machine i get this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "myserver.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally."   Now from this message it sounds like the problem laptop thinks the network drive (Time Capsule) is the same as it's self in the way of name or address however they clearly have different IP addresses locally.   
    Any ideas on this would be apreciated as I can only think a clean install but don't want to do this if not necessary.
    Thanks
    Jarrah

    I think I gave you some bad info in the above, where i enterered the text "myserver.local" & "example.local" this was the host name of the server (Time Capsule) so not local on the computer.
    No i didn't try your method, I'll give it a go - I thought the folder option was for local files and not on a server ?

  • Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.

    Lync 2013. There was a problem connecting with the Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions.
    Installed Lync Server Standart 2013, client PC MS Office 2013.
    As the mail system - Lotus Notes Domino Server and Lotus Notes client, respectively.
    Exchange is not installed at all.
    question:
    1 What is the message: "There was a problem connecting with Exchange. Unable to load the magazine discussions." and how it is fraught?
    2 How can I fix this message? Cleaning the C: \ Users \% UserName% \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Office \ 15.0 \ Lync \ does not help
    3 What are the disadvantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 without Exchange? In principle, I put for Lync Exchange?
    4 What are the advantages when using Lync Server Standart 2013 with Exchange?
    5 Is it possible to work simultaneously Lync Server Standart 2013 + Exchange + Lotus Notes
    Thank you.

    1) That sounds like a strange translation.  But basically, it wants to connect to Exchange and it's complaining. 
    2) You can attempt to go to Tools->Options->Personal and set Personal Information Manager to None, and in Lync Management Shell run set-csclientpolicy
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398300.aspx with the following options:
    DisableCalendarPresence $True
    DisableEmailComparisonCheck $True
    EnableExchangeContactSync $False
    There may be more, I've never tried to completely disable Exchange features from Lync.
    3) No conferencing plugin for meeting invites, no automatic presence management based upon your calendar, no searching your Outlook contacts for new contacts, no voicemail, no conversation history,no unified contact store, and more:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688098.aspx
    4) This is just #3 in reverse :)
    5) Depends on your goals, but the experience wouldn't be great.  You'd want to keep your contacts and calendar in Exchange and your email in Notes.  It would be confusing to your users.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server "router"

    I just recently purchase AirPort Extreme and i have connected my External hard drive to my AirPort Extreme. when I open my MacBook Pro, I am getting this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "router". Also it says The server may not exists or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, Check your network connection and than try again. How can i prevent this message to pop up on my desktop? Please assist?

    I am also experiencing this problem. I do not own an airport, but I do have an external hard drive that I plug in on occassion to update my Time Machine backups. The message does not seem to have a routine or pattern and will sometimes immediately return after I acknowledge it or will return after 30 minutes. I own a Macbook Pro 13" 2011 model.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

  • There was a problem connecting to the printer. Make sure it's connected and try again

    A test page prints ok. However when I come to print any document I get this message:
    "There was a problem connecting to the printer. Make sure it's connected and try again"
    I have uninstalled the printer and re-installed it and rebooted my computer. Still printing a tet page but won't print anything else.

    Hi @davifels,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are getting the error message, "there was a problem connecting to the printer. Make sure it's connected and try again." With your HP Envy 4500 printer running on Windows 8.1 (64-bit). I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need the following information:
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well. 
    If the printer can print from NotePad.
    In the meantime, please take a look through this guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print: Windows 8.
    Hope this guide helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • It says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

    I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
    Thanks again for your help.
