I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

  • Can't Get Airport Express To Work With ATT's Uverse

    For years, AE worked just fine with my 2Wire portal streaming music to my stereo. Went to Uverse 2 months ago, and AE quit working. I am not using an Airport base station, just the Uverse modem and I need help getting it to work.
    There is nothing in this forum when I search for uverse, so I post this in hope someone can help me.
    I reset AE it and it finally appeared in Airport utility with a yellow light. I click configure and when I choose to join my current network, it sets up it's own Apple network, removing it from Airport utility and changing Airport status in Network to yellow.
    No matter what I do or how I try, I just can't get AE to work with the stock 2Wire modem.
    Has anyone been able to get AE to work with just the 2wire router & not have to buy an airport base station.
    Any help is REALLY appreciated, as I wanna hear my Christmas music, and it's turning me into a Grinch!
    Thanks!

    +However, it asks for the security and all I see is WEP in the Home Network set up, I don't know if it's 40 or 128+
    AT&T set this up, so only they can tell you for sure. My guess would be WEP 128 since this type of security is stronger than WEP 40.
    +And it asks for a wireless password. I entered the one from the router & it did not work. Tried the Key and it did not work.+
    This is the same wireless password that you would use if you were logging on to your wireless network with your computer. But, unless you first have the exact, correct security setting for your 2wire router, the password will not work.
    +Has anyone out there successfully got their Airport Express to work with Uverse????+
    I don't provide instructions to anyone on the forum unless I've first done it myself. I'm providing you with the same instructions that I used to help a neighbor with his 2wire Uverse setup last week. It works fine.
    But, he called AT&T to ask them what security setting they used on his 2wire router. Otherwise, we would have had to try each possible setting to see if we could make it work.
    AT&T also told him that his password should be 13 characters, all lower case letters with no spaces. That is what the neighbor said he used. I cannot confirm this as he did not share his password with me.
    AT&T may have set up the password criteria differently on your router. You need to confirm with them on this.
    +What password goes in the Base station tab, Key or Password?+
    Any password you want. This is a separate password simply to be able to access the settings on the device in the future when you are using AirPort Utility. You could use your wireless network password if you want.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • Can't get Airport Extreme Card working

    I recently purchased a refurbished Airport Extreme Wiresless card for my EMAC from the Apple Store, installed it, but now when I try to configure the network connection, Wireless Airport is greyed out. I don't have the Extreme Station and didn't think I needed it, but I cannot figure out to make the connection to my existing wireless cable modem router in my house. Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, SBeck

    Technoqueen,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does the card appear in Applications> Utilities> System Profiler under the Network> Airport Card heading? There have been a number of reports over the years from posters here in the Discussions to the effect that the Airport Extreme card is an extremely tight fit in the eMac. The card can fell as if it's fully seated in the slot, yet not actually be all the way in. It takes a surprising amount of force to fully seat the Airport Extreme card that last fraction of a millimeter; you need to push the card until just short of where the 50-lb eMac is shoved away from you on your work surface.

  • Can't get Airport Express to work with Windows

    I got a used Airport Express to use as a wireless print server. I got only the Airport Express; no manuals or CD's or anything. I have been reading through the manuals and everything online, but I can't get anything to work. It seems like I need to get the Airport Express Assistant, but I can't find it. I got the Airport Admin Utility, and that installed fine on Windows Vista. Then I installed what I thought was the Express Assistant, and it just seemed to change the Airport software in the start menu, but I still don't have the Assistant, only the Admin Utility. Anyway, I open the Admin Utility and it opens the Base Station Chooser. There is nothing there, so I rescan, and it seems to do nothing. It doesn't find anything anyway.
    Where do I go from here? I am kind of stuck. I am trying this on a Windows Vista PC which is hardwired to a Linksys WRTSL54GS router. I have the airport express plugged in and the light is flashing Amber. I have a HP psc2410 plugged into the airport express that I would like to print wirelessly to.
    Thanks for any help.

    You don't necessarily need the AirPort Setup
    Assistant, you should be able to set up the AirPort
    Express Base Station (AX) with the AirPort Admin
    Utility...as it is a much more powerful tool. You
    need to make sure that you are using the version for Windows. At this
    time, the AirPort software is only supported for
    Windows 2000 or XP. A Vista-version has not been
    released.
    I suggest the following...
    - First, perform a "factory default" reset on the AX to get
    it back to it's original "out-of-the-box" state.
    - Next, temporarily connect your computer directly,
    using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port on the
    AX during the set up phase.
    - Then set up the AX as a "wireless client."
    I have this same problem. I have a Vista Windows notebook and I am trying to get airport working to play music wirelessly through my home stereo. The "base station chooser" software does nothing on my Vista notebook.
    I used a friend's MacBook and was able to set up the airport as a client so I can see it listed in my Dlink router DHCP Client Table. The airport express box is plugged in, has a steady green light and everything looks good except there is no option to choose "computer" or "home stereo" speakers in my iTunes. i installed the airport express CD including the itunes it came with.
    Any ideas how to get this working on vista? Previously i had the newer version of iTunes 7.1 installed and the airport express CD told me it couldn't complete the install because a newer version of iTunes was installed. I uninstalled the iTunes and reinstalled the CD including the iTunes version 4.

  • Can't make Airport Extreme router work with non-Apple device

    I am trying to help a friend who has a PC (Windows 7) that has a wired Ethernet connection to his girlfriend's Airport Extreme router.  He wants his Internet-capable Blu-Ray player and her IPad to wirelessly access the Internet via the Aiport Extreme router, with both the Blu-Ray player and the IPad's Internet access protected by WPA-2 encryption (both devices are capable of WPA-2).  How do I do this?
    Here are the problems we've run into:
    1)  The Airport Utility for Windows (5.6.1) has been installed on the P.C., and we've used it to update the firmware on the Airport Extreme router.  However, after we followed the Aiport Utility instructions to set up the network, all the router wanted to do was look for an Apple device.  His girlfriend and her IPad are out-of-town right now, so the only device within range was the Blu-Ray player, and the router did not see it.  Not only that, but almost all the menu options on the Airport Utility were "greyed out" (unusable), except for "Configuration."  I am very troubled by the fact that the Airport Extreme router seems to want to look only for Apple devices.
    2)  In order to get Internet access for his Blu-Ray player for the time being, my friend pushed the "reset" button on the Airport Extreme router, and he can now use his Blu-Ray player for Netflix and other Internet streaming options.  However, the Blu-Ray's wireless Internet access is an unencrypted connection, and the Airport Extreme router is displaying a flashing amber light -- not a good situation. 
    3) Although I know his girlfriend could access the router via her IPad when she returns, she is French-Canadian, and her IPad operates in French.  I happen to know some French, but I have enough trouble trying to understand  wireless networking terminology in English without having to try to figure out the equivalent terms in French.  Thankfully, the Airport Utility for Windows on his P.C. is in English, so that's what we've got to use to solve this problem.
    I have profound respect for Apple products, but I'm a Windows/Linkysis router guy, so that's why I'm stumped.  Can anybody out there help me?

    Which model of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) do they have? What is the version of firmware that you updated it to?
    By default, the AEBS will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name (or SSID) of something like Apple Network NNNNNN. This would be similar to a Linksys when first powered-up.

  • Can't get airport express to work with new wireless router

    I just swapped out a linksys wrt54gl for a linksys E1200 wireless router on my home network. My PCs and iPads, and TV all made the switch to the new network fine, but the airport express isn't working. All I want to use it for is to transfer iPad audio to my home speakers. but my iPad  AirPlay shows the old Airport as an option, I can switch to the Airport, no sound comes out the home speakers, then the iPad reverts AirPlay back to iPad.  This model Airport just has power, USB, and LANA ports, so it doesn't seem like it would be complicated. A CAT 5 cable goes from the airport WAN port to one of the ports on the back of the new wireless router. What did I overlook?

    I thought I'd jump in here with you network experts for some help with a related networking problem.
    Equipment:  iMac 24-inch, Early 2009 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2 MBP w/Retina Display; AirPort Express version 7.6.4 (Conncected Using: DHCP; Router Mode:  DHCP and NAT); Comcast/Xfinity Gateway 1 Modem w/2.4 GHz WiFi.
    #1.  Comcast forced me to change modems to their Gateway 1 saying mine was at “End of Life.”  Previously, my home network was set up with AP Express and worked fine using my iMac as a server.  After installing the Gateway 1, I could not get my network to work after repeated calls to their support, online chats, trial and error, reading community chats and articles, etc.  I put the Comcast modem in passive mode using the “Bridge” setting and re-established my network with my AP.  I’m using my iMac as a server for file sharing with my two MBP’s.  The network isn’t recognized in sleep mode and will not wake from sleep and I can’t find it or Connect to Server when the computer is asleep.  I’ve tried all combinations within the Energy Saver/Screen Saver/Security preferences.  I’ve reset the SMC and other like resetting to factory defaults. How can I fix this and what are the correct settings for my home network to function again with my AP Express?
    #2.  TimeMachine stops doing backups when the computer is in sleep mode, understandably because I’m not making any changes on the iMac that need to be backed up.  But using my laptops on the network, I am making changes in shared files that are hosted on the iMac that I would like backed up.  I cannot get the schedule feature to work to wake up the computer long enough to do a backup nightly because, as a security feature, I log out after 30 minutes of inactivity. I understand the schedule doesn’t work unless you’re logged in.  Is there a way for me to make this work?
    Thanks!

  • Need help getting Apple Extreme to work with Be box

    Anyone able to give an idiots guide to getting Apple Extreme to work with Be Box wireless modem?
    Used to have Orange (Wanadoo) broadband with Livebox wireless router, which i had my AE wired up to and it worked fine. Signed up with Be* and managed to get their wireless router working and communicating with my Mac OK. When i hooked up AE the green light came on but i can't manage to get my Mac to find it.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello Orang Hutan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    What is your connectivity goal for the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
    o Connect it directly to the Be Box wireless router via Ethernet, or
    o Connect it wirelessly to the Be Box's wireless network?
    If it is to go the wireless route, do you want the AEBSn to extend the wireless range of the Be Box?

  • Will airport extreme card work with my emac?

    I want to put an airport extreme card in my Emac. Please let me know if it will work in my machine. My Emac specs:
    Power PC G4
    CPU Speed: 800MHz
    L2 Cache: 256 KB
    Memory: 1Gb
    Bus Speed: 100MHz
    Purchase year: 2002 (before USB2)

    According to:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107440
    Only the eMac ATI Graphics model and USB 2 models could take Airport Extreme.
    According to:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/may2003/800cd/
    the ATI Graphics model replaced the August 2002 to May 2003 which was also 800 Mhz.
    Thus your machine was the one before the Airport Extreme became available:
    http://www.designedinca.com/macs/emac/aug2002/800/
    So no, you can't put an Airport Extreme card in it. You can though get Airport Extreme speeds via a LAN capable WiFi access point via its 10/100 ethernet port.
    You can also buy the original Airport card from:

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
