Airport express works with windows xp but not OS Tiger

Hi all
I’m a troubled man.
I have recently bought a new Mac pro along with an airport express. I am a first time user of Mac’s.
Here is my problem.
I use a DSL modem and my airport express is connected with the LED indicator in solid green. When I try to connect using my user name and password the “searching for POPPE sever appears at the top of my screen.” And after a few seconds “could not find POPPE server. This happens all the time. I tried to get air tunes working but itunes could not detect my airport express.
Now since I’m an engineer I needed to run auto cad on my Mac so I downloaded Bootcamp, partitioned my Macpro hard drive and installed windows XP on my Mac book pro and to my surprise windows xp found my airport and connected to the server straight away. So I experimented and download the xp version of itunes and what do you know the xp version of itunes detected my airport express and everthing worked fine for Windows! This suggests to me that the problem lies with the mac software as the airport express is working fine. Whats going on! I do not understand.
When I go back to tiger it sees my airport but cannot connect. I run the airport assistant but it cannot detect my airport. I run the utility airport program but it cannot see my airport express. I go back to windows XP everything works fine???????
If you can come up with a solution to this strange problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks

The user name and password may be just fine but the dialer software for OS X may be quirky to the point where it doesn't work with your modem through an Airport connection. My recommendation is to try uninstalling the DSL dialing software from the computer and setting up the Express to do the dialing for you. Your computer connection then becomes straight Ethernet.
If that doesn't work, have you checked to see if there's a newer version of the OS X dialing software available?

  • Airport Express works with my Mac but not XP Pro

    Hello I have an Airport Express that I set up and use with my G4 laptop flawlessly.
    My Problem is trying to get my PC, running XP Pro, to play-nice with the Airport Express.
    The nutty thing is that this set up was working perfectly for months and then quit for some reason. Anyway, the I use WEP encryption and I have the same passwords set for both computers. Now, the PC sees the AE and is apparently able to connect with it but gives the alert that it has only limited connectivity and functionality with the network. Strange...
    Now, as far as I can tell there are two passwords to the AE. One is the Base Station password and the other one is for the encryption. The PC never seems to ask for the Base Station password which seems odd. As I said before, this worked well at one time (with WEP) so I don't know what's going on. I also obviously don't know XP at all so I apologize. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

    Thanks for the link. I have set the AE to use WPA encryption using a 13 character plain-text network key password. I'm led to believe that this would be a palateable password for both the Mac and PC...of course this doesn't fix things. I should know that simply entering the same network key on both computers would not work. That would be too easy... Well now, in XP under Network Properties it only offers WEP or None for Data Encryption. This is weird right? Thanks a lot for all your help.

  • Airport Express works with Bose radio, but not with my amp.  Why?

    Hello everyone.
    I have a Bose Wave Radio that's about 10 years old.  I'm able to connect it to my Airport Express via the 3.5mm jack/ RCA (red/white) cable.
    I can stream Airtunes (from my Macbook Pro) into it fine, with normal functionality and volume control, including using Apple Remote on my iPhone 4.
    Now the problem:
    When I take that same red/white RCA cable (while it's streaming good music to the Bose), unplug it, and plug it into my amp (an old Kenwood), I can hear the music, but just barely.  Even with all volume sliders all the way up, and the amp volume near max, the music is barely audible.
    I've tried hard reset on the Express, and I've tried every possible RCA and speaker connection on the back of my amp. 
    Why does the Bose work normally, but my nice amp produces barely audible sound?
    Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks!

    Based on the information in your post, you know two important things:
    1) The AirPort Express is operating correctly
    2) The cable/adapter that you are using is working correctly as well
    So, the problem is with your amplifier. You don't have the Tape Monitor button pushed in, do you?
    Have you checked the amplifer with other audio sources and cables? If you have an iPhone, iPod or any other similar audio device with an audio output jack, give that a try and see if you get the same results. If you do, this again confirms that the problem is with your amplifier, not the AirPort Express or your audio cable.

    You do know that the controls for AirPlay have been moved in iOS7, correct? 
    Is that what you are asking about here? If yes, you might want to read up a bit on the changes in iOS7.

  • Attempting to use certreq -enroll to enroll to a client authentication certificate works with Windows 8, but not with Windows 7...

    This has been an issue for a while now.  Trying to use certreq -enroll -machine [Template Name] on Windows 7 machines fails with not implemented.  When I run this command with the -q flag I see that the certificate I want is unavailable and displays:
    A valid certification authority (CA) configured to issue certificates based on this template cannot be located, or the CA does not support this operation, or the CA is not trusted.
    When I go into the properties of this certificate and goto the Certification Authority tab and check the "Show all enrollment servers" it shows my server greyed out with this message:
    The system could not determine if you can access this certificate.  Not implemented.
    The template sits on a enterprise 2003 server CA and this process works with Windows 8.1 machines.  Which means that the template has the correct permissions and is issued correctly.
    Is this a known issue with Windows 7 or am I missing something in the config?  Help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I have done some tests on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine and a Windows 8.1 Enterprise machine, it turns out that I have the same issue with you.
    On the Windows 7 machines, I cannot use Certreq.exe to request machine certificates, but I can successfully request user certificates, and there is no issue with the Windows 8.1 machine.
    Best Regards,
    Amy
    Interesting.  From what I can tell, there are no patches that fix this issue either...

  • Using Kodak AiO 5500 over Airport Express- works on my Mac, but not on PC

    The subject says it all, folks. Just got a new Airport Express 802.11n and hooked up both printers (Samsung ML-1740 and Kodak AiO 5500) with a powered USB hub. Both printers are visible in Airport Utility (and Bonjour Printer Services in Windows).
    I'm running OS 10.6.3 on a MacBook Pro, 15" 2.4GHz Core2Duo system. On this system I can use both the Kodak and Samsung, no problem. But then on both of my parents' PCs only the Samsung printer works, although I can see both using Airport Utility and Bonjour Printer Service.
    What the heck is going on??
    Thanks in advance!

    I would perform the following steps for testing:
    1. Disconnect the Samsung printer, so that just the Kodak printer is connected.
    2. Disable the firewall at the Windows machine (the Windows one and all third party)
    If that's successfull, you can
    3. Re-enable the firewall and you probably need to allow traffic on port 9100 (not 100% sure about the exact port)
    4. Re-connect the Samsung printer

  • Airport Express worked with previous ADSL modem, not working with new one

    hello all.
    maybe the majority of you people won't be able to help me, since i am in Brazil.
    this is the story:
    for the last 4 years i was a subscriber of the Speedy ADSL provider (in conjunction with the Terra content provider). the Sppedy service is part of the Telefonica telephone company and uses the regular telephone infrastructure to provide the ADSL signal thru telephone lines.
    approximately 2 years ago i bought an Airport Express and set it up with the ADSL modem that Speedy provided to me. configuration was a breeze and it worked flawlessly since then.
    as of last thursday (april 7th) i became a subscriber of the Ajato ADSL provider. the Ajato company is part of the TVA (cable tv) company and uses the TVA cable tv infrastructure to provide the ADSL signal.
    the problem is: when i connect the Cisco DPC3000 ADSL modem to my Macbook via ethernet cable, i can surf the internet with Ajato with no problems. but when i connect the modem to my Airport Express (even though i have reset AE in order to clear the previous Speedy/Terra configuration), i get no internet in my home wireless network.
    i know you guys don't have Ajato there, of course. but i suppose some of you might have faced similar problems in similar cable ADSL environments.
    this said, any kind of help or hint is greatly appreciated.

    First that Cisco DPC3000 is a cable modem, not a ADSL modem. You probably don't need the DSL configuration that you had before.
    when i connect the modem to my Airport Express (even though i have reset AE in order to clear the previous Speedy/Terra configuration), i get no internet in my home wireless network.
    How did you "reset" the AE? How is it configured now? You probably need a setting of "Connect Using:" "Ethernet", rather than the "PPPoE" setting you may have had before.
    If everything else looks good, it's common to have to reset a modem when switching what device is connected to it. Try powering down the modem for a few minutes. If it has a reset switch, press that.

  • Airport/TC working with MacBook Pro but not with my Mac Pro???

    Hi all,
    I've got a Time Capsule connected to a Westell Modem through AT&T. Needless to say; I've had a lot of issues with my setup but this one has my stumped.
    After my network crashed a few days ago, I reset everything and got my Airport network running on my laptop. I cannot get it to work on my Mac Pro. My MP doesn't even see the Time Capsule when I run Airport Utility. It'll show the network on the Airport Icon at the top of the page and will even let me choose it when picking a network to connect to.
    Anyone know what to do, please help!!!
    Thanks!!!
    Chris

    On the Mac that won't connect using wireless:
    Open System Preferences and click on Network
    Click the Airport connection on the left
    Click the Advanced button on the lower right
    Look for the name of your wireless network and delete it using the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Delete any other networks that you do not need as well
    Apply changes
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Under the Kind column, look for any listings of Airport Network Password and delete them
    Restart your computer
    Keep your Mac close to the TC for now and click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen and try to log on to your wireless network.

  • Using SharePoint Open with File Exployer - works with Windows 7 but not with 8.1

  • AirPort Extreme works with my Mac, but not my PSP?

    Just got a new AirPort Extreme today, and I had difficulty setting up because i had typed something wrong. I fixed it and was excited to see that my homepage appeared on my computer, then I tired connecting with my PSP, and it found the signal then gave me a message that that it couldn't connect with the IP. The type of encryption was supported, and the code for the security was correct, but I still cannot figure out why it won't work.
    I successfully hooked up the signal, not the ethernet, through the Mac OS X system, and the Windows Vista Ultimate system which is installed through Bootcamp. I cannot figure out why, though, that the PSP won't connect.
    Please help or explain what I might be doing wrong!!!!

    On your Mac, open the Airport Utility.
    Select the airport base station from the list, go to manual setup.
    From menu select, Base Station > Equivalent Network Password
    Now copy copy password onto the Windoz PC.

  • PEAP works with Windows zero but not with CSSC

    I got PEAP to work using the windows zero config but I cannot get PEAP to work when usin CSSC on the same laptop.
    When using CSSC I get asked for the password and authentication fails.  ACS is reporting PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CA certificate during SSL handshake.
    Any suggestions?
    Seth

    Look at this ....
    Server Validation
    –The Personal stores are not used for server validation.
    –When the configuration specifies validateChainWithAnyCaFromOs, the certificate must be installed in the Local Computer\Trusted Root store.
    –Any Root CA certificate included in the configuration is ignored and the configuration is translated to validateChainWithAnyCaFromOs. The Root CA certification must be installed by some other means.
    –The certificate store is limited to Local Computer during machine authentication and user authentications when the connection is attempted before Windows logon.

  • Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

    I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

    Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.

  • Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

    I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter).  Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it  Thanks, - Matt Symes

    OK - I appear to have resolved the issue.  I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.
