Airport Extreme Compatibility with Windows Vista

I hope someone can help. I installed airport extreme and all my computers (Mac's and pc's on XP) can connect ok to the internet. The new laptop I just bought with Vista will not work. After two hours of tech support from Apple and then Toshiba, I learned that the router works when no security is selected, but when either available security level is selected, the laptop will recognize the router signal but won't connect to the internet. I downloaded the 7.1 Apple update and did a firmware update to the base station. Any ideas about this? It seems as though the security levels in the Apple router are not recognized by Vista. But I don't see an available fix to download.
Thanks for any help!

One possibility is to locate an older wireless access point and configure it in bridge mode and use it only for 802.11g wireless access to the network by the Vista notebook computer.

  • How do I download an older version of PS that is compatable with Windows Vista

    I need a version of Photshop that is compatable with windows Vista this is the message that pops up You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms.

    I believe CS6 will run on vista but your Display Adapter GPU may no be supported.  So features the require a GPU like 3d will not be available. Older version of Photoshop are no longer marketed so you would need to find an old retail version to get a licence.  Downloads will only work as a trial for 30 Days.  Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools
    You also need to be careful when buying old outdated software.  There are many selling software that is not legal copies of Adobe software be warned.

  • Will airport express be compatable with windows vista

    will airport express be compatable with windows vista

    vista will not be compatable because I do not have the capability in vista to download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows, which is a requirement for the ethernet connection to the Airport Express.  Is that correct?
    No, sorry for the confusion.
    You would need 5.6.1 on the PC only if you intend to use that to initially setup and configure the Express.  I understand that you will be using the Mac to setup the Express, correct?
    5.6.1 is not needed if all the Vista machine will be doing is connecting using Ethernet or wireless to the network. You don't have to install anything on the Vista machine if all it will be doing is connecting to the Express.

  • AirPort Disk - Issue with Windows Vista Ultimate

    I setup an AirPort Extreme network, with a shared USB Drive and so far I've only found one issue.
    When attempting to create new files and renaming them, or rename pre-existing files on the shared USB Drive using Windows Vista Ultimate I get the following Yes/No dialog:
    "The Z:\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it?"
    Then there's information about the mapped drive. If I click "Yes" in the dialog, then the dialog goes away for a moment then pops back up. I can't create a new file directly on the shared AirPort Disk, nor can I modify or create and rename new files on the disk without getting stuck in the loop.
    I can, however, create a new file locally on the Vista box and copy it up, and I can even create a new directory locally with files and copy them up without issue.
    Now, the issue does not happen when I use my MacBook or my XP machine. This issues seems to be a Windows Vista issue only, and I haven't seen anyone else reporting it.
    Here's information about the disk share implementation:
    - The disk is password protected (turning on accounts really breaks the ability of Windows Vista to work with the disk)
    - The disk is Mac Formatted with Case Sensitivity, and Journaling
    This works like a top for OS X and Windows XP, just not Vista. I'd like to getting working properly for all machines.
    If anyone's got some advice on this one, I'd love to hear it.

    Here's a little more information regarding the issue:
    - It's an AirPort Extreme Wireless Router with Firmware ver. 7.1
    - The Windows Vista Ultimate PC has the most recent Microsoft patches to-date, and has the most recent Apple Airport Utilities Software to-date.

  • Compatibility with Windows Vista Home Basic?

    Does Fireworks work with Windows Vista Home Basic? Will it
    run on my OS?

    I have Vista Home Premium and Fireworks CS3 works fine with
    one exception. The bitmap editing tools are not compatible with
    Aero. Copying an answer I wrote two days ago...
    You can do one of two things. Turn off Aero completely or
    have Vista disable Aero only when Fireworks is running.
    For the latter,
    1) go to where Fireworks is installed, usually
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS3
    2) Right-click on Fireworks.exe and select Properties
    3) Select the the Compatibility tab
    4) Under Compatability mode label, select the checkbox for
    Run this program in compatability mode for: and select Windows XP
    (Service Pack 2) from the drop down box.
    5) Under the Settings label, check Disable desktop
    composition
    6) Click OK.
    Now, when you start up Fireworks, your system will flicker as
    Aero is disabled, but your bitmap tools will work. When you close
    Fireworks, your system will flicker as Aero returns.

    in
    this thread
    The post on 09/13/2008 by lallsopp claims that desktop
    composition does not need to be disabled, but I find that my bitmap
    tools do not work properly unless I do. You can try it both ways
    and see what works for you.

  • Setting up the AirPort Extreme on a Windows Vista (HP)...?

    Hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion desktop (Windows Vista) computer and am [attempting] to use/connect the AirPort Extreme for WiFi. I can't find the original soft/firmware that came with the AirPort, is there any way I can download the software from the Apple site that will be compatible with my desktop? The Airport is connected to my internet connection (I have Cox Cable and use an internet modem: SB5100 SURFboard Cable Modem) and the amber light constantly flashes. Any help is deeply appreciated. Thank you.

  • Compatibility with Windows Vista

    Hi,
    On Windows Vista system, when try logging into a repository in MDM Console, get the following error
    Error: u201CServer is no longer respondingu201D
    Same time when we login into a repository in MDM Console on Windows XP, it works fine.
    Luckily Data Manager, Import Manager and Syndicator works fine on Vista.
    Is there some compatibility issues with MDM Console and Windows Vista?
    Please guide,
    Regards,
    Navendu Shirali

    Hi Navendu,
    Me and my team are working on Windows Vista and our MDM Version is 5.5 SP06. There is absolutely no problem of the compatibility of Vista and MDM Console. All 4 GUI s are working fine.
    You better check out some other setting of Console and that of your mounted Server. I dont think Windows Vista might be causing any issues.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shreya Landge.

  • Is airport extreme compatible with windows 8?

    I have an airport express conected to my network, however I'm planing to buy a new airport extreme. Even though my ariport express works fine with my applec computers, I'm not able to print through it using a Windows 8rt Surface. Does anybody know if the new airport extreme is compatible with windows 8RT?

    Hi - the answer is yes - it is compatible - most of the computers in our office use Windows 7 Professional and we have 10 Extremes in the network.

  • AirPort Extreme compatibility with native IPv6

    Fibre To The Cabinet becomes available soon in my street, in the UK.
    Speaking to two ISPs who offer IPv6 native service, both say that their customers trying to use AirPort Extreme routers for IPv6 natively are experiencing problems.
    They both say that the device only works when setup in tunnel mode.
    My understanding is that such a setup is inferior.
    Both ISPs blame the device for the lack of compatibility.
    Has anyone here experienced this problem?
    Has anyone here found a provider with whom this works?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I tested it, does not really work either. I just submitted an enhancement request via apple.com/feedback to ask if they want to add native v6 over PPPoE.
    I hope they take it into account.

  • Is Flash Player 11.7.700.224 really compatable with Windows Vista 64-bit?

    I ask this question because under System Requirements, Window Vista 64-bit isn't listed.  I've inserted the link for the system requirements below...
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html
    I'm trying to figure why my Flash Player disappears from time to time when I'm watching a clip/video and then my Internet Explorer 9 typically stops working, it closes down, and then it opens up and asks me if I want to restore the browsing session.  I'm thinking that this has to do with having both Internet Explorer 9 32-bit and 64-bit.  I read online that Internet Explorer 9 has both and this is why I'm questioning whether Flash Player 11.7.700.224 might be contributing to this issue or was Window Vista 64-bit left off the system requirements in error?
    Thanks!

    Try using the installers from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550

  • B1DE Installer compatibility with Windows Vista

    Hi All,
    We are developing an add-on for SAP Business One 2005B.
    While testing the add-on on Windows Vista we noticed that the Add-on installer created using the the professional installer of B1DE hangs during installation.
    i.e. - After registering the Add-on in SAP Business One, when we restart SAP Business One, the install routine does start but hangs during the installation process.
    We are using Version 1.2 of B1DE.
    Can some one please help us with this situation.
    Regards,
    Pankaj Mathur

    Hi Pankaj,
    Vista is not currently supported for either the B1DE or SAP Business One. Therefore, even if you could get the add-on to install, you couldn't get support from SAP if you come across any issue.
    I expect SAP will bring out a service pack or a patch for running SBO on Vista and a new version of the B1DE will emerge about the same time. Until then, I'm afraid you'll have to stick to XP.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen
