Aiport Express Multi Platform Issues

I bought an airport express a little over a month ago. I hooked it up to the currant LAN network, and had my iBook and two windows XP computers using it for internet. My Boyfriend had to wipe his desktop PC and reinstall windows and since then neither windows computers have been able to connect to the internet through the airport though occasionally they recognize thats the network is there. We tried resetting the airport and redoing the network but it didn't help.
The windows computers wont except any password coming up with an error "The network pass word needs to be 40-bits or 104-bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters."
This didn't come up the first time we set up the WAN.
The only other thing i can think to do is go to to the apple store buy him a mac and throw this pc out the window, but it's not feasible and he's not ready yet. So any other Suggestions would be much appreciated.

If you turn off wireless encryption, can he connect to the Internet now?
If so, and it looks like you were using WEP for encryption, you will just need to provide him with the Equivalent Network Password for the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in order for him to connect with WEP.
A better solution would be to use WPA instead, as WEP is no longer considered secure.

  • Multi-platform File Adapter

    We are currently looking at the requirements for several new processes involving use of the File Adapter functionality. Our production BPM environment is RedHat Linux 4, while this particular legacy system runs on Windows 2000. The legacy system is already configured to read and write XML files into Windows file shares. Some integration processes should kick off when XML files are written to the file shares. Other processes will write XML files back into the file shares. I am looking for recommendations as to the best architectural approach to dealing with this multi-platform problem within the BPEL PM. As I see it, we have a few of options:
    1.     Utilize FTP server functionality rather than direct file access to read and write the files in a platform-independent manner.
    2.     Use some other technology to bridge between the platform-specific file directories and something less dependent on platform. For example, pick up the files from the Windows directory and write them to an AQ queue. Then feed the BPEL process from the queue.
    3.     Run BPM on multiple platforms and allow the Windows instance to handle Windows file drops while the Linux instance handles Linux file drops. Obviously there is a cost penalty here as well as complexity during deployment.
    Any thoughts or experiences are welcome.
    Thank you.

    Have you looked into relative path's? that would solve the issue of different OS path names.
    Also, you might want to consider the deployment descriptors you can use when compiliing, you can set enviroment specific variables like paths in there.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

  • My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago.  Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection.  I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

    My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning.  I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection.  I could not get an Internet connection.  After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet.  (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.)  I called the satellite company technical support division last night.  The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection.  When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
    Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet.  The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning.  All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors.  Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage? 
    I bought the module in 2009.  I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
    I would appreciate your suggestions.

    Hello everyone.  I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12.  I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop.  They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection.  In my case there was no power interruption.  In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection.  My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well.  The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers.  They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver.  For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect.  Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs.  I mention all this for two reasons.  First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this.  Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?

  • Using Aiport Express and internet at the same time?

    I was just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on this subject please?
    I've got a Macbook running through a wireless BT ADSL modem. I have also managed to connect the Macbook to my Aiport Express to allow me to wirelessly pipe iTunes through my stereo. I am aware that you cannot run both at once (i.e pipe music and browse the web) due to the Macbook being able to be only connected to one wireless network at a time.
    My questions is whether there is anyway round this? If I bought an Aiport Extreme base station, connected that to my wireless router and used the Airport Extreme base station for the wireless connection would I be able to add the Aiport Express to that wireless network and subsequently have the internet and the Aiport Express running on the same wireless network - hence being able to pipe the music wirelessly and also browse the web at the same time?
    Or is there another way round it?
    Any info anyone could offer would be a great help
    Thanks in advance

    Ahh am I right in thinking this is the way to do it?

  • How to setup multi-platform export ?

    I have a FlashBuilder Burrito project created as a Mobile Flex App, and wondered if there's any quick easy way for it to be exported for mobile, web and desktop app?  One of my biggest trends to learning Flex and play with Burrito was the supposed multi-platform capabaility... although I'm not seeing it in this case.
    Is it, that I have to create a new Flex project, and cross merge my source code, and reapply differing User Interfaces?  Or is it that this kind of feature is not available in the Beta release?
    Apologies if this is sounding like a dumb 'fundamentals' question, but as I say, I'm new to Flex and I've not come across any answer here or Google...
    Any help appreciated. Thanks
    Stu

    Thanks, I knew about the export release build part - but as you mention, it says it will only build to Android.... not web or desktop app as well.
    (I know iOS- phone/pad is not available until release.)
    I was wanting to know if there was anyway to publish to multiple platforms from my existing code at the same time now, but it's looking like it's because Burrito is in Beat dev still (?)

  • Aiport express to stereo wirelessly - possible?

    Hi,
    can airport express stream music to my wireless stereo (sony BDV E670) wirelessly, with no stereo cable?
    all the configurations I see use a cable from the aiport express to the stereo.
    Thanks

    can airport express stream music to my wireless stereo (sony BDV E670) wirelessly, with no stereo cable?
    Sorry, but no. You must connect an analog or optical digital cable to be able to send an audio signal from the Express.

  • Get 9672 error when adding an Epson 7800 connected to an aiport express

    I get a 9672 error when I try to add our epson 7800. It is a rendevous printer connected to an airport express. The aiport express is an extension of our aiport network base which is an airport extream. I am trying to add it to a G5 with osx 10.3.9.
    I can add it to our mac minis that run 10.4 with no problem.
    I tried deleting the driver and reinstalling the latest driver from epson and deleting the printer preferences.
    It shows up as a rendevous printer but when I try and add it I get a 9672 error.

    The problem seemed to be that we were printing to two epson Printers, a cx5400 and a 7800.
    I repaired permissions.
    Then I deleted the epson print drivers by putting the epson folder which is in the Library folder in the trash. Next I deleted the printer preferences by putting all the apple.print files in the users, home folder, library, preferenced folder in the trash and rebooted.
    I had to reinstall the printer driver for the 5400 first, It requires a reboot, then reinstall the 7800 print driver. Then I connected the 7800 from my g5 via usb, added the printer and printed. Next I put the put the 7800 on the Airport Express, added the printer and printed. I then printed to the 5400 and deleted the printer I defined to print via usb from the G5.
    Now it works. I tried to install the drivers and add the printers in many different orders and it seemed to be very important that the order above be followed. If I didn't I would get the 9672 error when I tried to add the 7800 or a communications error when I tried to print to the 7800.
    Support at epson let me know how to deleted the printer driver.

  • Cross platform issues with InDesign CS5 or earlier

    Potential client would like me (designer on a Mac) to design print docs which they can then edit on their PCs. Would love to hear feedback from others about any cross-platform issues/best practices suggestions. Thanks!

    No problem at all, the only thing you have to do is make sure you both have the same fonts in a flavour (Opentype) that you can both read.  So when you send them a Indesign document using these fonts they should be able to open it up on a PC without getting a "missing fonts" warning.  Once you've got that sorted you're away, I do exactly this all the time.
    Oh and of course you must have the same version of Indesign!  You can save back one version (or from CS5.5 to CS4) but it's not recommended for this type of workflow.

  • New multi-platform Mobile Flex app development

    I thought I'd post this note to encourage anyone that hasn't tried multi-platform Mobile Flex application development yet. Inside 4 weeks, I managed to get this application up on both the Android and Apple app stores:
    http://itunes.com/apps/trontextfx
    http://market.android.com/details?id=air.com.uifx.trontext
    It's a pretty simply app, but it demos a number of features:
    Multi-DPI scaling (splash screen and background)
    Multi-touch gestures
    Colour Picker dialog that scales based on available screen space
    Portrait/Landscape orientation
    Pre-rendered icons (for iOS)
    Works for both tablets and mobile phones
    Some challenges I ran into:
    The DPI differences between tablets and mobiles - the tablet version's imagesare scaled slightly. It would be nice if the code didn't have to do "isTablet" checks
    The scaling of filter effects (e.g. glow) had to be handled manually. Though this could be due to the way the text is scaled, rather than using a projection to zoom in & out...
    The animation for showing/hiding the controls got confused if the screen was rotated at the same time.
    Making the toolbar icons more-touchable by adding transparent pixels to the edges, so that the image size matched the desired hotspot size (45px).

    may be i know what happen,  i try to draw shape on  the view,not on the Image, it work.
    i think may be my image does not show on the view, but i have set the visible=true, it is stilll can't see the Image,
    how to make the Image can see in the view?
