I have upgraded to OS X Lion and I get this error every time I watch any type of video: there was a problem connecting to the server URLs with this type of file "files" are not supported

Having the exact same issue since upgrading to lion.

Ditto. Having the same issue. Other than that, it was a smooth transition.

same issue here, but not related to video.

can not determine where the error comes from.. probably finder/network/safari related.

pops up twice, every 30 minutes or so. can not ignore it, error stays on top while changing applications.

same here.

same problem i've got.

have a look at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191972

The problem seems to be related to Time Machine

Leonie

I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even, gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.

Worked for me! Thanks so much! 🙂

thanks for your help. in my case, my designated Ext. HD wasn't plugged in when the error message occurred. So, I simply plugged it back in and ran the time machine once. Problem solved. Thank you again, for the inspiration.

same problem please help

same problem here

Take a look into the following topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191753?answerId=15723176022#15723176022

I just managed to fix the problem! I went into the Preferences (hold down Apple icon top left of screen and select "System Preferences"), clicked on the "Time Machine" icon (next to last row towards the right), and slid the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Like magic...no annoying error message! All I have to do now is remember to turn it back on now and then to back up my laptop.

I found the fix to my issue, I dont know if this will help anyone else, but I had the "There was a problem connection to "XXX" Server" and the server was located at my office that I no longer use so I had it set up to connect on login. I deleted all the history with no solution.

Here is what I did to get kill this error:

Syetem Preferences > Users & Groups > Select your username

In the right pane selete "Login Items" at the top

Find the server in the list and remove it.

Once again I dont know if that is going to help everyone but should help the people that were connection to an external server.

I get the same message but always one time after waking from sleep (the laptop, not me). Annoying. Seems to be connected to Time Machine, but TM seems to turn on AUTOMATICALLY ⚠ because I switch it off everytime and it turns on each time after restart. (Even when it is off, it wants to back up. I don't want to use TM.)

So far nothing worked. Any other ideas?
