Why am I getting an error "Unable to establish a secure connection with (mail server)"? And what can I do?
I'm trying to set up email on my Firefox OS Flame (OS is Boot2Gecko 2.0.0.0-prerelease) and getting an error:
Unable to establish a secure connection with mail.velociraptor.info
I'm on Dreamhost, the certificate belongs to `*.dreamhost.com` but I'm not even sure this is a certificate error, and if it is, how I'd go about fixing it. I found the Certificate Manger, but I don't know how to download the certificate and add it, and I don't know if this is even the problem.
If this is a self-signed certificate or one where the CA is not trusted on FFOS, you will get this error.
There is currently no proper user interface for adding certificates. You could have a look at the method described at this page: http://www.pending.io/add-cacert-root-certificate-to-firefox-os/
There are also several bugs open regarding this problem, e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=874346. They have additional information that could help you to find out, if this is the problem you are seeing.

I have had no issue accessing Facebook in the past using my MacAir. Last night each time I would try and access the page, an error message would appear, saying that unable to establish a secure connection to the server "www.facebook.com"". The problem continues this morning. I have not updated any software or made any changes. One minute it was working, the next it was not. I do not have any parental controls; I have deleted the cookies; and I have reset safari. I can access all other websites that I have tried. I am using Version 6.0.4.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Now open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, restart your internet modem and router. Then quit and relaunch Safari and try Facebook. -
After loading Lion, I have been getting an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported." There does not seem to be any actual problem with internet connectivity, but it is persistent and annoying. Any idea of its cause and treatment?

My Entourage is very slow and 2 Error pop ups (above) are showing. Additionaly, a warning about the start up disc being full. I decided to back up to an external HD.When backing up I was surprised to see 9.4GB in the catagory named 'Other'. Ive probably got too much junk stored here (unless it could be imovie files?). If I could see what was in 'Other', and delete what I dont need, this may be the answer to freeing up more space. The next big file I have is under 'Pictures' which is 1.7GB. I have never downloaded any video or Youtube stuff.
This is my first experience on this forum.Apple in their glorious wisdom did not update the root certificates for users of 10.5, only for 10.6 and later.
You'll need to make some changes, open your Keychain Access in your Applicaitons or Utilitties folder.
Delete the compromised DigiNotar root certificates, also change the KeyChain Access preferences > Certificates to
Best Attempt
Best Attempt
Require Both
Because the Certificate Autorities themselves are being attacked, you need the most recent and varied source of valid certificates so your comptuer does the best it can to verify the site your visiting is legitiment.
Also make sure the time and date on your computer is accurate and updated with Apple's time severs, allow any such time requests out your outgoing firewall (aka LittleSnitch)
You might decide to upgrade to 10.6, it's the best OS version for users of Intel Mac's, strips out the PowerPC code your not using and improved video drivers for better graphics performance. It should run most of your 10.5 software with just minor updates at most.
Please backup your data off the machine (not TimeMachine) before doing anything as you might need to wipe the drive if the upgrade doesn't go correctly.

However OS X Lion 10.7 is a radical change, won't run your older software or drivers and likely be slow on most older hardware. I'd advise against installing it, buy it with a new machine instead. -
"Safari is unable to establish a secure connection"
When I try to log in to bank or credit card accounts Safari will frequently display the above error. It resolves when I restart my computer, but only temporarily. Sometimes the error displays after I'm already logged in to an account and trying to make transfers/payments/etc.
Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution?Hello B Noir,
Thank you for your suggestion. I did check the date, time and time zone and they are correct. I also was able to open the iTunes Store without any trouble. I actually had trouble getting back to this page, because I was getting the error message trying to open it, and had to reboot to reply to you. I realize that I didn't give any detail except to say it sounded like exactly the same problem that timiteo was having.
I installed updates to Safari 5.05, and OS security updates to 10.5.8 two days ago. Since then, Safari keeps getting hung up and/or giving me this error message:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://intuit.com/login/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “intuit.com”."
This happens on numerous websites and does not happen consistently. In other words, I just received the error message when I tried to open my gmail calendar from within gmail. Other times, it has opened without trouble, and after rebooting, I am now able to open it again (this is adding up to a lot of rebooting today).
I then installed Google Chrome (so I could get some work done), but after a short time, it started doing the same thing with this error message:
"SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error."
Once I get the message, then I can't do anything with the particular browser until I reboot, which solves the problem for a short while. Actually, once I see the message in one browser, it is sure to happen in the other browser right away as well. I had none of these problems before I installed the updates, so I'm wondering if there is some conflict in the 10.5.8 OS security updates, since it doesn't seem limited to Safari.
I'm not running any virus software on the Mac. I do have Parallels running a virtual Windows machine on the same laptop and I have Norton Antivirus running on Windows, but I don't even have Windows started up. I used to have Norton Antivirus running on the Mac "side" - but I uninstalled that months ago, because it was bogging everything down.
I appreciate any ideas you may have.

I get the error "unable to load data class info from sync services" and eventully itunes freezes. will this article help me?
Hello there brigidfromca.
Messages can always be pretty daunting when we're not sure where to start. I was able to locate the following Knowledge Base article that discusses the very message you're getting:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690
It is a pretty thorough document with multiple steps to review, but looks to be great place to start for a resolution for you.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities to reach out to us for answers.
Cheers,
Pedro D. -
since installing Lion I keep getting the error message 'there was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:" are not supported"' How can I fix this?

Not a nice answer!
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. -
how do i set up email on iphone. i keep on getting an error that says, "We couldn`t connect to the server. Check your information and make sure it`s correct." all my info is correct, can someone please assit. it is the app OWA
Is this a company email account? If so you may need to talk their technical support, as there may be additional layers of security which are preventing a connection.

I upgraded to iOS 7 to my ipad using iTunes. When signing with the Apple ID I get an error reading "There was a problem connecting to the server" anyone who knows what to do next
Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.

if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer. -
Unable to create a secure connection to this serve...
Hello,
When i try to connect Turkish free wireless network TTnet Wifi, i am having "unable to create a secure connection to this server" error. The network connection trying to open an https log in page to connect internet. (in normally after the push connect button on that page, the network connection becomes available for internet.) All notebook and iphone or other mobile / computer devices can connect to internet with this network, but not nokia 5800 (and maybe other nokia devices with same browser)
I have tried with other browsers like skyfire or opera but no luck because after the connect ttnet wifi network, device opens default browser for log in page, and it gives error. I have also tried wefi too.
I think there is a bug or missing features with default browser. If you have any comments or suggestions please write.
Thanks.I have tried to change default browser from default apps. but no chance, it shows only WEB for browsers, but i have all browsers installed (opera, opera mini, skyfire etc...) isnt there any chance to change default browser?

Hi,

MSDTC encountered an error (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system
I found solution over internet for regarding the above issue which was suggested that NETWORK SERVICE is not having required permission. Used subinacl with the following command (on Command prompt with elevated mode)
subinacl /service msdtc /grant="Network Service"=QSETIL
But the same resulted in error: Last Failed: msdtc - OpenService Error : 5 Access is denied.
Getting nowhere regarding this now. Please helpHi Harkirat,
Have you tried
these steps to Enable Network Access Securely for MS DTC?

OS X 10.6.1 Entourage (Unable to establish a secure connection to server)
I have Windows 2003 domain running Exchange, I have setup all my Apple clients n 10.6.1 on the domain using Directory Utility. Then I have installed Entourage 12.2.1. Once the account is setup and checks email it gives you that great error
"Unable to eatablish a secure connection to server-net.wan because the correct root vertificate is not installed"
Well silly me, I guess installing the root certificate that I created on the Server 2003 box and then installing the certificate with the OS X root account into the system keychain, the login keychain, and the MicrsoftIntermediateCertificates keychain was not enough. So after banging my head on this one and checking every where I figured it was time to post on Apple. So if someone has some great fix I will bow down to you and kiss your feet
Thanks,
Joey T.Hello, since nobody else has replied...
You'll need to download a Certificate from someone, not sure who exzctly, or maybe self sign one? Some onfo on that here...
