Why Windows refuses to connect to the server ?

Hi,
we have a Xserve running Mac OS X server 10.5.6 and some folders are shared in AFP and SMB. With a Mac we can connect to these folders using both protocols but with PCs, some accept to connect and others not even running both XP SP3?!? We have no idea why... When we tried to connect using a recalcitrant PC we are looping at the window asking user and password.
Any tip will be welcome.
Regards.

Oh boy! Let me see what's going on. Are you using the VZW Cloud or the BUA app? Please try downloading the VZW Cloud app if you dont already have it. And once downloaded. Tap the 3 bars in the upper corner and go down to "TOOLS", then tap "RESTORE CONTENT". That should do it!

TS4002 Why am I unable to log onto my iCloud? Why can it not connect to the server?

I have tried numerous times to log in and check my emails but keep getting a window pop up saying that it cannot connect to the 'server'. I have checked on the support page and it says that the iCloud has no reported issues.
Please help!

Hello there, amy_1505.
It seems like you were referred to us from the Knowledge Base article below:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002
This is the best troubleshooting guide for the error message you’re seeing. Be sure to try all of these steps if you still get the error:
If you can't access iCloud Mail at iCloud.com
Make sure that you're using a supported browser and that your browser is up to date: Choose Software Update from the Apple () menu and install any available Safari updates, as well as any security and OS X updates. Instructions for updating other browsers should be available from the built-in or online help for those browsers.
If your iCloud Mail issue occurs only when using a particular browser, try clearing that browser's cache:
Safari 6 or later: Choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu, then select the "Clear history" checkbox and click Reset. Or choose Develop > Empty Caches (if you don't have a Develop menu, choose Safari > Preferences, click the Advanced icon, then select the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” checkbox).
Safari 5 and earlier: Choose Empty Cache from the Safari menu.
Other browsers: instructions should be available from the built-in or online help for the browser.
If you're having issues accessing iCloud Mail from one location or Internet connection but not another, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network administrator. Some Internet configurations intentionally or unintentionally prevent access to certain websites or services, such as iCloud Mail.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Why I can't connect to the server ?

Hi, I want to implement a simple viewer for an axis camera on the web. I have just this simple file but when I run it from the terminal I got the following error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http:/142.22.58.150/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&showlength=1&resolution=704x480 (No such file or directory)
I tried with different urls, but still the same error. I run the code from the osx terminal. Should I change some permissions ? should i modify the code ? how ?
thanks
public class Viewer extends JFrame {
     Viewer() {
          //TODO set frame size for the container

          this.setSize(500, 500);
          this.setTitle("camera Manager viewer");
          // axis camera connection
          String cameraStreaming = "http://142.22.58.150/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&showlength=1&resolution=704x480";

          System.out.println(e);
          } catch (IOException e) {

That URL isn't a file. So don't use a File object or a FileInputStream if you want to read it.

(err= -3253) connection with the server was reset. (Windows XP)

I purchased a full album and am having trouble downloading three songs off this album from the iTunes store for Windows XP. The album is Draconian - Turning Season Within. Three of the nine songs off this album will not complete the downloads. It will get almost completely finished, for example: 11.1 MB of 11.3 MB, then it will start downloading the song again from the beginning before
reading: stopped (err= -3253). Then a dialog box pops up saying "connection with the server was reset. I wrote an email to support and tried all the suggested fixes, with no desireable results, including making sure my firewall allows access to iTunes and the iTunes store, changing the startup procedure in "msconfig", and running diagnostics on iTunes to check for connectivity, whick it says I have full connectivity to the internet. This is probably my last hope, that someone else has encountered the (err= -3253) message and can help me with it. This is also the third album I've purchased from the iTunes store and the first time I've had any kind of error message. Please help!

DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem. In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total). All of the SQL
environment is backing up fine except for a SQL Cluster Application. This particular SQL Instances is part of a 6 node failover cluster with 6 SQL Instances distributed amongst them. The other 5 SQL instances in the cluster are backing
up fine; only one instance is failing. The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:

I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine). The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
to when the failures started to occur. However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem. We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.
One last thing, I have also noticed errors in the event log pertaining to the same SQL backups that are failing (but the time stamps are not concurrent with each backup attempt):

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem. If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine. They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK. Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

[Forum FAQ] "Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell Remoting" error while installing RDS roles on Server 2012 R2

When you try to install RDS role on server 2012 R2 using standard deployment, this issue may occur (Figure 1).
“Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting”.
Figure 1: Unable to connect to the server by using Windows PowerShell remoting
First of all, we need to verify the configurations as it suggested:
1. The server must be available by using Windows PowerShell remotely.
2. The server must be joined to a domain.
3. The server must be running at least Windows Server 2012 R2.
4. The currently logged on user must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server.
5. Remote Desktop Services connections must be enabled by using Group Policy.
In addition, we need to check if the “Windows Remote Management “service is running and related firewall exceptions have been created for WinRM listener.
To enabling PowerShell remoting, we can run this PowerShell command as administrator (Figure 2).
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Figure 2: Enable PowerShell Remoting
However, if issue persists, we need to check whether it has enough memory to work.
By default, remote shell allots only 150 MB of memory. If we have IIS or SharePoint App pool, 150 MB of memory is not sufficient to perform the remoting task. Therefore, we need to increase
the memory via the PowerShell command below:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Shell\MaxMemoryPerShellMB 1000
Then, you need to restart the server and the issue should be resolved.

i found another possible reason, this solution worked for me:
http://oyvindnilsen.com/solution-for-powershell-remoting-error-it-cannot-determine-the-content-type-of-the-http-response-from-the-destination-computer/
I tried to set up powershell remoting on a server and kept getting this error:
Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cann
ot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination comput
er. The content type is absent or invalid. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help to
pic.
After a bit of troubleshooting I discovered that the problem was that the authentication packets was to big (over 16k), this will cause WinRM to reject the request. The reason for authentication packets getting too big can be because the user is member of very
many security groups or in my case because of the SidHistory attribute.
The solution was to increase the MaxFieldLength and MaxRequestBytes keys in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HTTP\Parameters
If the keys does not exists you can create them, be sure to use the DWORD type.
I sat MaxFieldLength to DEC value 40000 and MaxRequestBytes to DEC value 32768 and rebooted the server. Problem solved.

Is this an ongoing problem or did it just happen one time? If one time, there may have just been a problem on the Apple end, and you should try again at a later time. I just tried it and it worked.

perfect, thanks.
When I try to connect to the itunes store, it says 'accessing itunes store' and just hangs there.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I assume all of your network connections are OK, you can get to the internet and that you aren't blocked by something like an enterprise firewall. Are those assumptions correct? . My experience has been that from time to time, the update server get's "maxxed out", and if you try later it will work.

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

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.
