Every time I try to upload pictures or change my background I get this " There was a problem connecting to the server “user-pc”. The server 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." Can anyone tell me my this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2009), iOS 5.1.1
is the user-PC server a Windows machine? Follow these directions for Windows networking if that's the case:
Thanks But no windows it just happes when I try to upload photos to the internet or when I try to access photos to change my background or a profile picture.
What service are you using on the internet? Is it an FTP server? Is it Facebook? Is it iCloud, Is it something else?
It something it the computer. I cant even cange the desktop background using any of my own pictures
Are you setting the background with iPhoto or System Preferences? Are you using an admin account on your computer?
I can change the backgound using iPhoto but when I use System Preferences I get the message. I also get it when Im at the upload window on websites. And yes im on the admin account.
I've been having an almost identical problem. I get that error-message if I to to System Preferences/Desktop, or if I try to view a slideshow in iPhoto - and I think very rarely at other times, but these two always give that error.
I've spoken to Applecare today who were rather baffled, and have escalated the problem - I'm awaiting a possible solution.
I have the same problem, but it happens when I connect my android phone to my mac. The server it is complaining is a retired NAS from Seagate I used as time capsule.
Same problem here, when I try to change my screensaver (was using last 12 months of iphoto pics before upgrading to ML).
very annoying, the share it is complaining about has been offline for over 6 months! Did apple respond to this?
