Airport express working on mac but not on pc

My airport express works wonderfully on my Macbook Pro, but I would also like my PC to connect to the same network. I have tried everything that I have found online, and the PC will not recognize or "find" the airport network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ok, thanks for the additional info.
I suggest trying the following:
o Temporarily disable the WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless encryption, and then, check to see if any of the XP devices can now access the network/Internet?
o If they can't then, while the encryption is still disabled, change the radio mode on the AX to a non-"n" one, like "802.11g only." You can access this mode, by holding down the <Option> (Mac) or <Control> (PC) key prior to selecting the mode within the AirPort Utility. Can they access the network/Internet now?

Express works for mac but not for pc's

my airport express works for my mac and iphone, but it won't work with my wife's and friends' pc's. the password works for me, but when they attempt to enter the password their computers ask for a network key instead of the password. please help!

I had successfully set up my Powerbook and PC to use Airport Express on a closed network. Been working fine for 5 weeks until tonight when neither machine could find the network. I reconnected the Mac but I can't get the PC hooked up again. Any ideas?

Airport express works w/itunes, but not when streaming any website

My airport express works fine when using itunes. However, when I go to my favorite radio websites, my ibook g4 does not recognize that the AExpress exists. Is there a remedy?
Thanks.

Yes, check out Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil.

Airport Express works with Skype but not with internet

Hi,
I recently bought some new Airport Express' for my company. However, when plugging it in we seemingly get full access, but only Skype seems to work. If I do a search on the internet it can sometimes look like it find the address after a long while, but don't manage to open the page. E.g. writing www.google.com in the search field doesn't give access to that page.
I brought them home to check if the Airports worked there, and they did. No problem. But at the office the Airports don't. If I connect the same plug which is connected to the Airport into the MAC / PC, then I have full connection to the internet.
What to do?

After Grant pointed out the DNS thing, I started to check that part, and I noticed something funny. I called Apple Support regarding the problem, and now it's solved
Here is my experience:
1. My Airports worked fine when home, but not at work.
2. Checking the LAN DNS addresses I received three addresses. 2 in the 158.xx... range and one in the 129.xxx... range.
3. The Airport Extreme and Airport Express does only support two DNS addresses, and since the two 158.xx... DNS addresses came first in that range the 129.xxx... was left out.
4. I manually changed one of the 158.xx... addresses to the 129.xxx... address I got on my MAC / PC when I connected directly to the wall and did a "ipconfig /all" on the PC. The three same addresses is listed under network - airport on the MAC.
5. Now suddenly it all worked. This due to that the two 158.xx... addresses seamed to be internal addresses, and the 129.xxx... address was from outside delivered from our operator.
Summarized:
When you receive 3 DNS addresses you MAC and PC can handle it fine, but your Airport not. Find all your DNS addresses and write them down. Enter Airport Admin Utility and do a manual setup. Change one of the two equal address to the third address. Most probably listed as the last DNS address when you are connected directly and type e.g. "ipconfig /all" on your PC or you enter the network settings.

Just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

just hooked up airport extreme. works on mac but won't allow phone or iPad on. how do i get them to connect?

How old are the various devices? It could be possible for you to have configured a very new AirPort Extreme in a way that older iPhones and iPads could not access. For example, could you have set up the Extreme to use only 801.11n and 5GHz?

Link works on mac but not on pc

Hi -
I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
So the url is: http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
Any idea why?
Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

Does Airport express work with Mac os X.2.8?

G3 with 10.2 and airport 3.1
Airport express working properly with my ImacG5 and the Ibook G4 of my friend os 10.4 in 802.11b/g mode and WEP 128 bits.
But my Ibook G3 still not detecting my network.
I'm sure the airport card is ok, because I managed to use a local network with an other Ibook.
Thank you for help.

Yes you should be able to access the wireless network created by the AirPort Express regardless of which version of the Mac OS you are using.

Map Widget - Works on Mac but not in Author

OK, I'm a nube when it comes to Dashcode just so that's out there. I managed to build a custom map widget with Google Maps. The widget works perfectly on my Macs but not in Author. In Author the default place holder remains empty. If I click "edit HTML" I get the Google map, but it's just a generic USA, not the one I created w/ places. Also iBooks refuses to import the book to my iPad until I delete this map.
Do I need to do something or insert special code in Dashcode to make this widget "Author compatible" or are map widgets not allowed?

jfk0404 - I believe that what you're referring to as the "unattractive cartoon-like figure in the widget" is actually the placeholder image for the widget as it appears inline on the page. Once you click that cartoon image the actual widget takes over full screen and loads the html content displaying a functional full size google map.
To replace the cartoon icon you have a few options. The first thing to do is create a new .png file to represent your widget as the placeholder image enticing your readers to click to open the full screen widget and load its dynamic contents. Perhaps a screen grab of your map would be a good idea?
Easy:
Drag your brand new .png image from the Finder into your open source iBooks Author file dropping it on the cartoon image. Done.
More Complex:
Right click (control-click) on the xxx.wdgt file that downloaded from http://classwidgets.com and choose "Show Package Contents." A Widget file is really just a special folder bundle with a .wdgt extension. In there you will find the Default.png file. Highlight the file and press the space bar to see a preview in the Finder's QuickLook feature. That's your cartoon image. Now replace that file with the one you created above. Done.

QTSS Works on Mac but not the other

I have a Server running OS X Server 10.5.8. I am running QTSS and Apache on this machine, however I am having issues with Quicktime streaming. One mac here is able to successfully stream but all other macs on our network fail to connect despite the QTSS "Connections" window shows the connection to the machine trying to stream the video. In the end on the client Quicktime X shows "Not Found" however I am able to connect to the server via other services (ARD, AFP, HTTP). I can post any logs that might help.
Thanks in advance

I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me...
I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
help!!!
if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.

Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page. Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously. This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC. Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites. Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

Airport Express joined to network but not discoverable

I have two airport expresses - an older b/g model and a newer draft n model - both on their latest firmwares.
December last year I joined them both to the wireless network in a new place and both worked fine.
I hadn't used either since December - so there my have been some airport utility and itunes updates since then.
Today I plugged either one in and it synched with a green light immediately - however neither could be found in itunes or airport utility.
I have tied configuring them - both wirelessly and via ethernet cable.
I have tried a hard reset to restore to factory default and then configure them.
They can only be found by airport utility and iTunes under these circumstances:
1. After a hard reset to factory settings - awaiting initial configuration
2. Configured as it's own wireless network
3. Joined to the existing wireless network via ethernet only (WiFi off).
If I join to existing wireless network as I need to do the device is not discoverable.
I input the correct credentials and then the device reboots - at this stage it drops out of the airport utility and never gets picked up by it even though it reboots with a green sync light, indicating it is now joined to the network. Only way to still see it after reboot is if it is still attached to computer over ethernet. As soon as ethernet is disconnected it dropsout.
I would think it was not broadcasting a wireless signal were it not for the fact that it does work when set up as its own wireless network, and also were it not for the fact that it was doing it to two different airport expresses, both different models.
I have two laptops - one on leopard and the other on snow leopard and still no luck- so I don't think it is an OS update issue.
I have never had trouble configuring AEX joined to an existing network before and they both were working December last year.
So in summary: two different model AEX displaying the same behaviour, two mac laptops with different OS' used to configure, tried wireless and ethernet configurations, reboot after configuration gives green sync light but is not discoverable in itunes or airport utility. Airports ARE discoverable when broadcasting their own wireless network or joined to network over ethernet only. Airports are discoverable after hard reset to factory settings but become invisible when correctly joined to an existing wireless network after reboot.
Please help - it is driving me crazy!!!

I'm not trying to set it up as a network.
I just want to be able to play iTunes on my hifi.
The Airport Express is currently sat right next to an Huawei HG532 router with a solid green light.
However both iTunes and Airport utility says: "Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport Wireless devices.... make sure it's plugged in etc...."
Never had a problem before, but i've just plugged it in after a 4 month absence.

Airport Express prints from Vista but not Leopard

I have an airport express (G model, not N) which I've started to use as a print server. I'm using a Samsung ML-2510 printer. Everything worked just fine about yesterday, but today I'm finding that the Airport Express will only print from windows vista. On my wired macs nothing happens and it sometimes tells me the printer is busy, when it's not. On my wireless mac, an iBook, it tells me the printer is offline.
I can print from mac using a D-Link print server, but not from my airport express. Windows Vista has absolutely no problem with airport express. I find this a little odd.
Is there any way to fix this? I don't even know how it broke. I would like my airport express to work with my macs again.

Thanks for your reply- just to re focus my problem- I
have no issue with getting a wireless network "green
light"
Which is the cable modem correctly giving the Express an IP from your ISP's DHCP pool of numbers.
- my issue is I can't stream itunes or get a
usb printer to work off the xpress USB port.
I have checked everything as my posts explain- The
reason I have been looking at this thread is I have
never been able to see the airport in a "scan" per
JDee post.
That is odd and doesn't happen on my wireless network!
Nor have I read in any post that an extra
ip address is necessary
All routers have at least two IP's - an external and an internal. When the router acts as an internal DHCP server it hands out many more IP's. Your Express gets one external IP and the default internal one is set to 10.0.1.1 and the first IP handed out is 10.0.1.2, etc.
However I have seen different subnets- from dncp
server.
Are you talking about the external IP's that your ISP is randomly assigning without your control? Are you talking about the different ways you can configure the internal DHCP numbers? If not there's something else going on. Everything on Douglas internal network should have an IP from the Express DHCP server vs. JDee's internal IP's should all be assigned by the modem/router DHCP server. Once you have everything on the same network numbers AirTunes, printers, and Airport Admin Utility lists just work!
Hey look I really appreciate your help here in
anyway- I'm really stumped. I want to stream music
really bad... and just don't see why it won't work-
its drving me crazy...
I enjoy a good challenge, especially when they are solvable. After trying all the possible software and connection possibilities there's always the chance it's been a hardware failure all along
What IP number does your computer have and what number does the Express have? If it's a router it has two IP's!

My A1084 airport express worked flawlessly with leopard, not with lion

I have a late 2006 iMac with an intel processor.
it was using leopard and I got an airport express a1084 (older model) and it was working flawlessly. I use it solely to play music from my iMac or iPod on my stereo wirelessly using a linksys e2500 wireless N dual band
Compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g standards
I recently was strong armed by apple to upgrade to lion since we use the mac mail program and it was being ditched with the integration of iCloud.
so I ponied up and bought snow leopard, so I could install it and then down load lion from the app store.
I HATE lion.
almost all of the programs I bought previously no longer work, including my 1 month old network wired printer.
If I don't plug the printer in to the mac, I can't scan to the iMac.
but anyway, my airport express is the issue I am looking for help with.
This airport goes offline constantly
sometimes it flashes a yellow light, sometimes it has a solid yellow light.
sometimes it works for a week, sometimes for 1 hour.
I have re-set it up many times always with teh same result...until I plug it into a network cable, the iMac can't find it.
si I plug it in and get it working and then move it to the stereo and it will sometimes work for a little while, then no more.
have to set it up again.
is this yet another compatibility issue with LION or is the airport dying?
thank you for any light you can shed on this subject.

I have the exact same problem.
