Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administratorThe problem is that "Stanley" is the name of an old, old home network or external HD (I can't remember which) but hasn't been in use in quite some time. I haven't even seen any references to it at all mac os x connection timeout until this happened and I can't figure out where to tell the computer to stop looking for and trying to connect to this "Stanley" server.In Console it says this:mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Network is downmount_smbfs: can't get server address `STANLEY.SMB.TCP.LOCAL': Unknown hostAny ideas?Thanks so much, Kevin Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.1) Posted on Sep 18, 2009 3:48 PM I have this question too Close Q: Continuous error about Connection Failed All replies Helpful answers first Previous Page 3 of 6 last Next by sKurt, sKurt Feb 4, 2011 6:25 AM in response to biergoat Level 1 (0 points) Feb 4, 2011 6:25 AM in response to biergoat This fixed mine as well, problems? 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.

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 mac os x connection timeout occurred others which can effect general LAN networking functions and the ability to discover and connect remote connection mac os x to another local Mac, or transfer files on a local network of other AFP Macs or even broader SMB machines. The latter LAN mac os x install failed 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 to find networked machines that are undoubtedly on the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2166804?start=30&tstart=0 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 local Mac as it should, and after a long wait, you'll eventually get a message http://osxdaily.com/2015/01/24/workaround-problem-connecting-to-server-mac-os-x-lan-discovery-error/ 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 After the ‘problem connecting' error message appears, disconnect Wi-Fi in OS X from the wifi menu bar item Turn the wi-fi back on again in OS X from the s

The exact 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

IN THIS DISCUSSION Apple Mac OS X Microsoft Windows Server Join the Community! Creating your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now Hi all, A customer wished to mount a Windows 2008 smb share on his old MacOS 10.4.11. I told him to use Finder --> Go--> "Connect to Server" -> "SMB://ServerName/Share" but it failed even when he tried to do it with the ip address instead of the ServerName. Everything is Ok on the server side, but on the mac, OSx substitutes "AFP://SMB://ServerName/Share" for "SMB://ServerName/Share". Any ideas ?
