iBest iReview iFix Search How to fix "Connection failed" error on Mac In Mac OS X, Tips & Tricks by andreJanuary 22, 201016 Comments Every time I booted my iMac, I would get the error message "Connection Failed" - something looking for a server that was no longer there, clicking on OK would solve the problem and the computer would function normally until… yeah you got it! The exact connection failed mac to pc error message is: "Connection failed. The server "XXXXX" 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." Well yeah, that was one of my old laptops and it sure is no longer there. This message will only come up when booting up the computer or with certain programs that looked for hard drives or network connections, like bumptop. A call to Apple Support revealed not much actually, just lots of trouble shooting and then a mysterious solution. Renaming the "com.apple.loginitems.plist" file in my Home>Library>Preferences folder to something else (just in case) and restarting the computer solved the problem. Not even Apple's support guy was able to pin down the exact cause, but we came up with a pretty good theory: Most likely there was an item on my com.apple.loginitems.plist that did not show under SystemPreferences>Accounts>LoginItems, most likely a leftover from a previous computer. When I restarted the iMac, OS X, most likely, re-created the com.apple.loginitems.plist-file from an older cached file and included only those items that were actually available on the hard drive or the network at the time, leaving out the erroneous entry, hence solving the problem.

You are here:Home In Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard), Apple made some significant changes to the Mac OS Finder and the Sidebar, and these changes persist in Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard). You will not be able to access Windows servers through http://www.thursby.com/why-does-it-say-connection-failed-when-i-click-server-sidebar the sidebar, but will be able to access the volumes once you have mounted them using either the ADmitMac Browser, or by entering the path into the Server Address field in "Go - Connect to Server". We have been made to understand that it is a bug in the Finder that keeps network volumes from working properly in the Sidebar, and that Apple is working to resolve it.In the Finder Preferences (General), make sure that "Connected Servers" is checked. Also in the Finder Preferences (Sidebar), make sure that "Computer" is selected.Once a volume is mounted, you can access by opening from the Desktop, or by selecting "Computer" in the sidebar, then the mounted volume. © 1986-2016 Thursby Software Systems, Inc.Terms of Use | Privacy Policy | Site MapLog In

I keep getting the following error, which is my computer trying to connect to an IP address from my former network (an external hard drive that was set up as a shared server):Connection failedThe server "192.168.1.66" 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.The only button option is "OK." The error pops up repeatedly. The external drive does not appear in my list of shared servers. Since this IP address is no longer valid and never will be again, how can I make this error go away?

Except the network is never saved to the list of known networks, so every time I have to enter the password again. What may be the issue here?

I could connect although it said "connection failed." I observed that my network was also not in the preferred networks list. I resolved the problem in two steps. I manually entered my network's name and my networks password to keychain list. After that, in the system preferences advanced window, I manually added my network to the list of preferred networks by clicking on add button (+) and dragged it to the first line of the list. I hope this helps. share|improve this answer answered Feb 5 '13 at 16:40 zeyneb hale eroglu sager 212 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote If you are experiencing this problem when your machine is coming out of sleep mode and/or after reboot you may want to try the following steps.
