@KateS1971 - Do you have a USB thumb drive or an SD card in a card reader? Try removing any / all of those from your computer and see if you can log into Origin after that.

Hi there,
I have the same problem with the uplay not conecting and the Epic App not conecting, in total about three games i thought i had lost. I have tried all the ideas that had been suggested and nothing worked. But i read youre advice you gave to someone on this thread and it all now works and i have my games. I thankyou so much for that.

This fix probably only applies to people that have a brand new install of Windows (Windows 7 Ultimate) but hopefully will help. I've been trying to find a fix for days now...
The short version is: try Activating Windows, mine wasn't activated and it's working now.
My origin couldn't connect to the internet and I tried everything:
reinstall,
install different versions,
install from origin site,
install from original dvd,
add Origin to firewall whitelist,
turn off firewall completely,
reinstalled windows 7 completely (I'm on an iMac and only use Windows for gaming in Bootcamp)
etc etc
I was able to get Origin to the username and password login stage but when I sumbitted it immeditely gave the rror, and way too quick to be going out the internet and back.
All my internet connection etc seemed to be working ok, no problems with access but I could see that Origin wasn't connecting to the internet at all as the error messages were way too quick.
Then i realised that I hadn't yet 'Activated Windows'. So in Control Panel > System and Security > System go to the Windows activation section at the bottom and activate.
Once I did this then Origin application installed and updated with no problems.
By the way, my version of Windows is Windows 7 Ultimate and it's a legit version (not cracked).
Can't wait to get back to good old BF3 on my 11 year old iMac Core 2 Duo
Good luck and hope this saves someone else the hassle I went through.
P.S. I've already posted this fix on a error code7049 question earlier because that was also a symptom of this same issue.
