Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
Thanks for your help.

Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".
Solved!

IMac (on Ethernet) Can No Longer Stream to Airport Express (on WiFi)

After years of reliable service, all of a sudden I cannot stream music from iTunes on my iMac, via my Airport Express, to my stereo system.
First, a bit about my configuration:
   * iMac connected via Ethernet to a wireless router (D-Link DIR-655).
   * iMac Airport (WiFi) is turned off.
   * D-Link sets up a wireless network, and Airport Express joins the network.
   * Airport Express does not set up its own network, it's simply a client of the existing D-Link wireless network.
   * iTunes "sees" the Airport Express, and can stream audio via AirPlay.
   * iPad also joins the wireless network, and also can stream to the Airport Express via AirPlay.
   * iMac running 10.6.8, with all software updates applied.
   * Airport Express running latest firmware (7.6.1).
Well, that was a few days ago, when "it just worked". But for some unknown reason iTunes could no longer "see" the Airport Express.
So I took my Airport Express to the Apple Store and they did a Factory Reset, but it did not solve the problem. I figured my rather old Airport Express was failing, so today I bought a new one. The symptoms have changed a bit, but even after spending an hour on the phone with AppleCare, it doesn't work properly.
Now, the only way the iMac can stream to the Airport Express is if the iMac also joins the wireless network. In fact, now with Airport turned OFF on the iMac, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express. But here's another weird thing: when I use the IP address of the Airport Express, the Airport Utility CAN connect with and manage the Airport Express, even with Airport turned OFF on the iMac!
I should also mention, the iPad has no issues whatsoever connecting to the D-Link's wireless network and streaming music to the Airport Express.
This all seems like something might have changed on the D-Link wireless router. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what setting(s) on the router might allow the iMac - over Ethernet - to stream audio to the Airport Express.
Another thing. When I have Airport turned on on the iMac, it can "see" and stream to the Airport Express, but the music has very frequent drop-outs. Could this be related to the fact that the iMac has two IP addresses (one on Ethernet, one on WiFi)?
My goal is to get things "back to normal", where I can turn off Airport on the iMac, and all LAN and WAN traffic from the iMac goes over Ethernet. I have a few questions (for now :-)
   * Since my iMac has two connections to my LAN using two IP addresses (Ethernet & WiFi), is that likely to cause any issues?
   * When two computers join the same wireless LAN, can they effectively talk directly to one another, or does the wireless router need to be involved every time one computer sends a TCP or UDP packet to the other?
   * Do routers (or the DIR-655 in particular) tend to have any firewalls or policies that control connections on the LAN between Ethernet and WiFi clients?
   * Since AirPlay uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353, would the DIR-655 need any special configuration to "open these ports" so an Ethernet client can connect with a WiFi client?
So, any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

I am having a very similar issue. I use my Airport Express (AX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay. I have AX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem. I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my AX, including two laptops and an iPhone. However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my AX. Similar to your case, I can see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address. Note that the AX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked. I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting AX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards. They will resume detecting AX when I turn their wireless connections back on. I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router to no avail.

Can not stay connected to Airport express

I have an airport exress that is less then 9 months old. I have my internet provide wirlessely so my macbook pro picks up the signal and i share it with the airport exress. With the AE set to bridge mode. This was all working fine for the last 3 months, but now for some reason I can not stay connected with any of my devices wirelessly with the AE. I try to connect with my Iphone 4s and when i click on the network to connect i never recieve a check mark on the left all it does is give me the moving circle. I try to search the web on the phone and it will work for a second then not work for who know how long then work for a second ect.... i have hard rebooted the AE, reset network settings in my phone, reset smc and pram. when i access the ae through airport utility on my mac the internet shows green and the AE show amber becuase it says it does not have a valid ip address. I access the AE from my phone and the AE shows the same and the internet will go from green to amber and back. Also it will not stay connected to the AE i try to change setting on the AE through my phone and as long as i do it quickly it works fine, but if i wait anylonger then 10-30 seconds the phone drops the AE and i have to start over even though it will pick it up again with in a second or two. this is the same for ipad, three iphones, dell computer, and a android phone.

Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

Can no longer connect to certain shares after upgrading to 10.8.4

After upgrading to the latest version of Mountain Lion, I can no longer access certain shared volumes. I have one machine running 10.4.11 and I can connect to its hard drive. Another machine on my network runs 10.5.8, and I can now only connect to the built-in hard drive. There are also 2 Firewire drives connected to that (10.5.8) machine that I can no longer connect to.
When I use "Connect to Server" and enter the AFP address of the 10.5.8 machine, I get a full list of "available" shares, but if I select one of the FireWire volumes, I just get a spinning "rosette" for several minutes and then a failure message. I also have an OS 9 machine that I can no longer connect to on the same network.
I already read the "Connecting to Legacy Systems" notice and still no joy after following the instructions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Jon

No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Connection to airport express dies out from iTunes after 1-3 hours

I have iTunes running in Windows XP. It is connected to zyxel WLAN AP through ethernet and Airport express is connected over wlan to this Zyxel. I have two problems where worse one is that after sometime 1-3 hours iTunes looses connection to airport express(remote speakers). Only way to return is to shut down power from AE. Then streaming can be started again. it seems that Internet connection is working all the time through zyxel, so this is not probably related to wlan itself
Other problem seems to be that Itunes can find AE only after reboot. I have opened firewall, so good ideas what is wrong in these two problems.

Yes, there's an exception for Bonjour in the firewall (Bonjour is allowed)
I've try to re-add the "APAgent" which control Airports and restart the firewall but it didn't worked...
The only solution I've found was to desactivate Windows firewall...
(Firewall of my ADSL box is activated).
Maybe I should try to repair iTunes Installation like WPLU...

Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

Hi, all...
I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
* Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
* Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
* Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
Many thanks,
Bill J.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
they were no help either.
I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
Thx again.

How do I connect to Airport express with my iMac?

I am trying to connect my iMac to my Airport Express.

Sorry, the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule would be in the same boat as far as their USB ports. However, if a multifunction printer is network-ready, meaning that it can connect to an existing network by Ethernet or by wireless, then it could connect to the AirPorts by one of those means and have all of its functionality.
For example, I have an HP Officejet 6500. This multifunction printer has both Ethernet and wireless capability. I have it connected by wireless to one of my AirPort Extreme Base Stations and I am able to both scan and fax with it from my Macs or PCs in this configuration.

My MacBookPro can no longer connect to airport

Last night I was changing the channel settings on my extreme abse station and express to try and improve signal strength. When completed, my Mac Book Pro was unable to connect to the network or to see the devices in Airport Utility, although all the other computers in the house were able to do so. I tried rebooting it, turning airport on and off on the MacBookPro, etc and it is unable to connect. Any ideas?

This situation becomes more and more inexplicable---- I have an aiport extreme aase station and an airport express used as a WDS remote to increase strength in the house. Both are given the same network name. Both are on the same channel. The airport base station only gives the option of 802.11n. The express is set to 802.11b/g. When I move to another part of the house now, I get kicked off the network and when I go to rejoin, I am asked to put in as password for a WPA network, even though mine is set up with WEP (since we have an old PC, gasp!, connected to it). Obviously I can't connect, because there is no WPA Personal password. I've tried deleting the preference files for Airport and Network COnnect to try and reset them both and the same thing happens. I am totally confused. Is there a problem with using the same network name on both the base station and the extreme?I don't know if it is a problem on the Mac Book Pro, or with the network itself. Any advice would really help.
