Airport connecting to one computer but not another

Just set up my AirPort Extreme. It worked immediately on my Mac. When I went to set it up on another Mac the AirPort Extreme Utility could not find the base station when it scans and when I go to join the network using the AirPort icon on the top bar it allows me to click on the station but after I enter the password the OK button does not highlight itself so that I can click on it.
Please help.

I used the Airport Utility to enable file sharing for each of my 3 Macs before connecting them. I don't know if this is necessary but I didn't have any problem
Go to Airport Utility - Disks - File Sharing (click file sharing and enter credentials for each computer l, select read and write access)

Implicit read with assembly module instance working on one computer, but not another

Hi,
I'm trying to set up an on-site computer to run a VI which uses assembly instances for data communication, but for some reason I'm unable to establish a connection to the PLC.
I'm running the example vi "CreateAssemblyInstance.vi" to try and get the communication set up before I start using my actual program.
When I run this code on my development machine, I'm able to establish a connection to the PLC and read data. I then go into RSLogix 5000 and change the IP address to the on-site machine and try to run the test VI there, but I'm unable to make a connection. LabVIEW-side, the program thinks that it's established a connection and is reading/writing data, but PLC-side I'm getting a "Connection Failed" message in RSLogix.
I find it weird that LabVIEW thinks the connection was established just fine, which the RSLogix says it can't connect to the VI.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. We aren't sure why the same VI runs on one machine but not another. We used RSLogix to change the IP address of the target machine, so we don't think that's the issue. And both computers are on the same network, so we don't think it's a firewall issue either.
LabVIEW-side, things should be identical. I'm running the same example VI that came with the Ethernet/IP module. PLC-side, we're changing the target IP of the module within RSLogix 5000 (and we're sending the updated information to the PLC) to match the machine we're trying to make a connection with. Are we missing any steps? This is the first time we've tried using an assembly module, so we're having a hard time troubleshooting.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.
We started having another problem just recently too. The Tag Read and Write commands are almost always timing out. I keep getting the error message -251723752:
Detailed error info: Error -251723752 occurred at EthernetIP Tag Read REAL.vi;Details: The request response was not received in the requested timeout period Possible reason(s): Ethernet/IP Industrial Protocol: (Hex 0xF0FF0018) The request response was not received in the requested timeout period
I can't figure out what's causing this all of a sudden, could these issues be related?

Store credit shows up on one computer, but not another

Happy Easter everyone,
I was wondering why my store credit shows up on one authorized computer, but not another? Is there a way to fix this? Or will I just have to make my purchases on that computer?
Thanks
Jason

An account's balance should show wherever you use the account (computer's iTunes, and in the App Store, iTunes store and iBookstore on iOS devices). Have you tried logging out and back into the account on the computer that it's not showing : Store > Sign Out menu option, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option (my balance has sometimes been slow to update on my computers/devices)

Problem with SMTP from one computer but not another

I have an iMac connected directly to my network via Ethernet and a MacBook Pro which connects via wireless. I have a program installed on my iMac that sends me alerts via e-mail, and it works just fine. When I try and use Mail, however, on my MBP with the exact same settings and credentials, it fails. To make this even more perplexing, Mail works fine from my office on a different network.
To work around this, I use Comcast's SMTP server on my laptop, but why would my regular e-mail provider's SMTP work on one machine and not another on the same network? The only difference is one is connected via Ethernet and the other by wireless.
I use a Time Capsule as my router and wireless access point. Has anyone got an idea about what's causing this?

Please report the relationship, if any, of the "regular e-mail provider's SMTP" and your ISP? If Comcast is your ISP, they regularly block use of Port 25, but if you have selected Use Default Port in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information for the Outgoing Server, then it may be making the wrong choice to work with Comcast. Regardless of the ISP, for this regular account click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, choose Edit Server List, then click on the Advanced Tab that will then be seen and choose Use Custom Port, then enter the proper port directly -- that port is probably Port 587, but that could depend on the advisory of the email provider for using their SMTP.

Login to Mail from one computer but not another.

I'm actually posting this on behalf of a senior Gent. We can login to his account from his main computer but not from his 'new' laptop. I've been helping him set it up (win7).
Message says wrong password and try again in 15 mins.
I logged into my account on the laptop ok. Using Chrome. I appreciate info is a bit sparse but just wondered if this rings any bells. Router has been re-set. I'm just of to try it IE, though it shouldn't make any difference. Thanks!

Have you tried resetting the password. Thentry logging in with the laptop 1st and check over the webmail settings - I don't use BTs webmail since I thinks its er ... poor (to be polite) but a pwd reset and new login from a new device has been suggested elsewhere here.

Airport Working On One Computer But Not the Other

My G3 iBook is connecting to the internet, but my G5 iMac is not. It worked fine since I got the Airport 2 years ago, but now nothing. Under Network Diagnosis it has the Airport and Airport Settings buttons as green, the Network Settings as yellow and the ISP, Internet and Server as red. When I attempt to get it to scan for a network, it just rolls and says "Scanning"
Any advice

Often when and after doing any download or update it can and will change your NETWORK Settings.
Go to your Apple and select System Preferences and then select Network form the G5 and be sure that Airport is selected and at the top of the list and you have the little green dot. If you don't have this your connection will not work. Drag Airport to the top of the list.

Flv option showing up on one computer but not another.

at work on one computer the flv option in Compressor shows up when i add a "QuickTime export Component preset." however, it doesn't show up on one of the other computers. I don't remember if i did anything to get the flv option available in the first place. so i'm wondering if any body knows why it's not on the other computer. Do i not have the right version of flash on the computer?

Thank you I was having the same problem...I had an export to flash working.. then I had to reformat.. and not it is gone.
so I copied all the missing component ( FLV and a few others) however they are not showing up in compressor.

Have had crashes with one computer but not another. one that crashes has adobe flash payer 15 active x installed. should I uninstall it

I have two dell computers - one with 7 and one with 8. have numerous crashes on 7 but not 8. noticed Adobe flash player 15 active x is installed on 7 but not 8. is this the problem. should I uninstall it?

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
'''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
'''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

AEBS drops connection on one computer but not other

I have no idea what is going on. I have read a few threads in the AEBSn forum about intermittent dropouts after a firmware update, but mine is an older AEBSb/g. The strange thing is that I have my iBook and my iMac side-by-side, and most of the time the iBook connects effortlessly to the Airport Network (and then the internet), while the iMac sits there scanning for a network and not discovering one. Sometimes I am able to connect to the network initially on the iMac, but then it suddenly drops to no bars of reception, and I can't get back online. Sometimes it will automatically join again, or sometimes not.
I have taken to having the iBook connected to the Airport, and then sharing its internet connection with the iMac through the ethernet so that I can get the iMac online. I needed to do this to use Software Update to see if there were some updates that might fix this problem, but to no avail.
Right now the iMac is online, with 2 bars in the airport, and the iBook is also connected with full strength. Sigh. I just don't understand. The iMac has been my main computer for many years, and has been connecting to the airport for the last couple of years without major incident.
I did use the iBook to configure the AEBS recently, as I needed to change the network from WPA2 to just plain WPA to allow the iBook to join the network. But I'm pretty sure that the intermittent connection on the iMac started before I did that. In fact, I think I used the iBook to configure the AEBS because I couldn't keep the iMac connected long enough to change anything.
This is the longest the iMac has been online in quite some time. I am also able to switch to an external disk and start up in OS X 10.3.9 on the iMac (I created this startup disk when I upgraded to 10.5). It seems to connect just fine to the network/internet. In fact, after I do that and switch back to 10.5, I seem to have more luck connecting again in 10.5. But still not full signal strength - it fluctuates between 2 and 4 bars.
Anyway, I thought I'd start a new thread on this because of my situation with the two computers. It seems to rule out interference, anyway.

I just want to clarify that when I say the iBook is connected to the Airport, I mean it has joined my network wirelessly.

Attachments -- why can I drag them off on one computer but not another??...

Hello -- I have two different Mac Pro's, an iBook and a Snow iMac. (Everything running OS X 10.5.7 except the iMac is 10.3.9.) On most of the computers, when I look at an email in Mail that has an mp3 attachment, I can just click-and-drag it right onto the desktop, no problem. But on ONE Mac Pro I get the annoying message about "Do you want to download this?", so I click Download, and most of the time it does not download, though sometimes it will & iTunes opens up. BUT, I would prefer to just drag the attachment out of the email. I can't seem to find a Pref to tweak... Anybody got a solution for this annoyance? Thank you very much in advance.

I'm pretty sure we're using a generic ethernet module:
I can communicate explicitly with the problem computer, it's able to use 'Tag Read' and 'Tag Write' to communicate with the PLC.

Time Capsule visible to one computer but not another

I want to use Time Capsule for Time Machine backups of my MacBook Pro, running 10.5.2, and manual backups from my PowerBook, running 10.4.11. Everything is hunky dory for the MBP, but the PB cannot see the Time Capsule - meaning, the Time Capsule is not visible from the finder. I've tried looking for it using Go to Network, Disk Utility, and every other way I could think of. Both computers are on the same wireless network and can see each other. File Sharing is enabled on the Time Capsule. What am I missing?

I used the Airport Utility to enable file sharing for each of my 3 Macs before connecting them. I don't know if this is necessary but I didn't have any problem
Go to Airport Utility - Disks - File Sharing (click file sharing and enter credentials for each computer l, select read and write access)

IPod Mini says must restore on one computer but not another

I have two computers. The one where most of my music is stored is running Windows XP. Each time I plug in my iPod it says I must restore it. I do this and it still says I must restore it again. I have tried a different cable but no success. When I connect same iPod to Windows Vista computer (has very little of my music) it connects fine. Any ideas?

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive

Able to interact with a cRIO remote front panel from one computer but not another

I have a cRIO application that publishes a remote front panel for monitoring and control of the application. From one PC (Win7 & firefox) I can see, interact and control the cRIO through the published remote front panel. From a second PC, also Win7, I can see and monitor the cRIO's state, but the remote panel that is opened does not allow for any interaction and this is true whether I'm using IE, FF or Chrome as the browser. When either PC is connected to the cRIO, it is via a dedicated Ethernet link and only the cRIO and the one PC are on that network. For this two-device private network, the PC is always at address 192.168.1.1 while the cRIO always uses 192.168.84.199 (port 8000).
The firewall rules on both PCs are setup to allow all incoming and outgoing programs/ports/protocols to be used between these two IP addresses.
Both PC's have up-to-date LabVIEW development systems installed on them (which more or less guarantees they have the minimum require LV runtime needed to see and use a remote front panel).
What might be different on the PC that view but cannot interact with the remote panel?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right click on the second one and select "take control of this VI".
As far as I am aware - only one viewer of the remote front panel can control the panel at any time - the rest can only view.
As I tried to say in my original post, there was only one host physically connected to the private network at any given time (by virtue of the fact that the one Ethernet cable connection to the private network was being moved back & forth between the two hosts) so there was no way both hosts could be trying to control the cRIO at the same time. I even went so far at one point of restarting the cRIO while it was connected to the problem host to see if would render it functional, but it did not.
But I did not know that it was possible to do what you suggested, much less that there was a right-click context menu associated with a remote panel, so I tried it and it worked! Thank you!

Connects to one wifi but not another

I've got a iMac that is connecting to my password protected wifi but my MacBook will not. The MacBook will however connect to an unprotected wifi in the neighborhood. It does that automatically. This seems to be a recent issue.

Hi foundsheep,
What is the MacBook doing? Is it getting an IP address, is it getting a self-assigned IP address? What sort of security setting is on the router?
