did this work for anyone? it surely didn't work for me as i don't
have
X509Anchors in the System/Library/Keychains folder, and have no idea
where
to download it from... so... still stuck with "not able to connect
to
the server...
Received same "unable to connect" message about 20 minutes ago, but I’m
back in service. Try this fix: Log out, close all files and applications
and shut off your computer. Unplug modem for about 30 seconds. Plug modem
back in and re-start.
Good luck!
