The items I had in my startup/login didn't - mostly.Since I renamed the items in preferences of course they no longer show up so I have to re-input the login items. Not too bad as it did 'fix' the pop up window at every startup.

is why some of the most aggravating issues that a select group of users may experience with OS X Yosemite pertain to network connections. Some of these may relate to broader connection

and wi-fi functionality problems, and others which can effect general LAN networking functions and the there was a problem connecting to the server contact your system administrator for more information ability to discover and connect to another local Mac, or transfer files on a local network of other AFP Macs or server connection failed mac even broader SMB machines. The latter LAN discovery and connectivity issues are what we're going to focus on addressing here. This is basically a discovery workaround, specifically, getting around local network connectivity failures, and an inability https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2166804?start=30&tstart=0 to find networked machines that are undoubtedly on the same network that once connected fine. These usually manifest with a Mac running OS X Yosemite connecting to other Macs running prior versions of OS X, but the workaround could be relevant to other situations where a similar error occurs as well. If you experience the specific network discovery or connect attempt failures, you know the routine; try to connect to another http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/24/workaround-problem-connecting-to-server-mac-os-x-lan-discovery-error/ local Mac as it should, and after a long wait, you'll eventually get a message saying: "There was a problem connecting to the server ‘Computer Name'. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and try again." Of course it's entirely possible to see that exact error message due to the reasons specified in the error message which would make it a legitimate message, but in this case, the target server connection previously worked fine, the target server does exist, the IP is correct, and the network connections are active on both sides, and, you can even ping the server IP from the problematic Mac. If you encounter that error message with a local network connection that absolutely should work, try the following routine to get the local networked Macs to properly discover and connect as intended. You'll need the target Macs IP address, the IP can be found in Network preferences on all versions of OS X (ask the local sysadmin if you're not sure of the server IP): Close all open failed networking attempt and failed network related windows in the OS X Finder - this includes the Network folder or network browser in Finder Af

After all, a disruption anywhere along the chain between your Mac and a distant server could cause an outage, and it’s not always obvious where to look. I suggest trying each of the following steps, in mac connection failed order, until you’re able to connect again. 1. Try another site or app To make sure the problem isn’t restricted to just one website, try visiting another—preferably one that’s highly reliable, such as Google.com. Similarly, to make sure the problem isn’t just your current app (such as your email program or Web browser), try connecting to the Internet with another app. If only one site seems to be having problems, try visiting Down For Everyone Or Just Me and entering the problematic site’s URL. The service will tell you whether computers elsewhere on the Internet can successfully connect to the site. 2. Use Network Diagnostics Certain types of network problems may cause your browser to display a Network Diagnostics button. This is OS X’s way of offering to help debug your connection problem, and I suggest accepting that help. (If you don’t see a button, you can launch Network Diagnostics manually. To do this, choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Network. Click Assist me, and then click Diagnostics.) The Network Diagnostics utility will guide you through a series of questions and tests, ranging from

Discussion in 'Networking & Compatibility' started by bienwold, Apr 11, 2008. bienwold uix_expand uix_collapse Registered Joined: Feb 21, 2006 Messages: 14 Likes Received: 0 Hello all, I'm having a wee bit of a problem using file sharing. I have three mac's (2 ibooks A+B ppc, & 1 mini intel) all running leopard. I can connect the mini to ibook A, no problem and vice versa. However, ibook B, will not connect to the mini, but i can connect the mini to ibook B. So, basically i can not connect ibook B, to the mini.. through the process of elimination, it would seem the problem is with the ibook B, since ibook A has no problems. On ibook B, the mini shows up in the finder, but when i try to connect, it says 'connection failed'. I also tried cmd+k, but it says 'The text you entered does not appear to be a recognized URL format'. Console has the following error messages every time i try to connect... '/system/library/coreservices/finder.app/contents/macos/finder 249:sharepointbroswer::handleopencallback returned 45' This is also a fresh install of leopard, as i thought a fresh install would solve the problem... not. Any help great
