Airport extreme blocking port 25 from my macbook pro

My airport extreme is not supporting port 25 from my macbook pro, only product in my residence that port 25 is not supported. (iPads, iPods, macbook air)

I believe I understand this better now. When I unplug my MacBook Pro from the network including disabling Wi-Fi, then when I open AirPort Utility it of course shows and I am no longer connected to my home network on the MBP. All the other hardwired or Wi-Fi connected computers, printers, hard drives and iPads are still connected.

My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.

New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
Or
If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility.

How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to allow printing from my Macbook to an HP PSC 1210?

I currently have an AirPort Extreme [model A1354] connected by cable to an iMac [3.2 GHz i3 / 10.6.7]. I have an HP PSC 1210 series "All-in-one" printer attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Printing from the iMac works just fine. However, I cannot print from my Macbook [ 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo / 10.5.8]. While the printer shows up when I go to "Add a printer", I still cannot print to the printer. When I hit print, the print window closes, but nothing prints.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Airport Extreme disconnects when I unplug my Macbook Pro

I just got a new Airport Extreme and set it up in "BRIDGE" mode in order to be able to extend my WiFi from my basement office to the ground and upper floors. Working fine BUT -- when I unplug my MacBook Pro the Airport Utility shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it and it says the network is disconnected! But I need to be able to disconnect my MBP and still have my other computers (one also ethernet connected; others and iPad WiFi)-- even when the MacBook Pro is disconnected.
I like having the bridge mode because I can use Printopia from ecamm to print to pdf wirelessly to my MBP even when the MBP is only connected via ethernet - not via wifi (that should work too)-- but is it the fact that I am in BRIDGE mode that is causing this warning in Airport Utility?
Any comments appreciated and I can work on this more later.
THANKS!

What replacement Airport Extreme Card do I need for Macbook Pro 8.2?

It looks like my Airport Extreme Card has failed, although the Blue Tooth is fine. I'm assuming that I need to buy a replacement but am struggling to find what I need. I have a Macbook Pro 15" early 2011 i7 2.2ghz so just need to know what cards are compatable.
It's been a slow failiure, over a couple of months but now it is not even recognised in the System profiler. I am happy to open the case and install a new card, I just need t know what will work. Is there a better card than the original out there, or even an upgrade? I've upgraded the Ram and had to change the HHD already, so as a machine it's starting to resemble the Philosopher's Axe...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the speedy response!
I"ve had the case open when I changed the HHD and Ram, and can seen where the card slots in. It's held by a supporting arm which lifts up when disconected from the Logic Board. it's weird looking inside, as you can see there are many of the same componants I've seen in other laptops. It is a tidier build though. I'm confident that if I detach the 3 antener conectors and remove the retainer screws a new card will fit back in.
The Genius Bars here in London are highly over subscribed, and I don't think I have the time or budget for that.
I'll keep plugging away, and see what happens. I'm almost getting used to being tethered to the Ethernet cable. I've only tripped over it 20 times a day!
Take it easy.

AirPort Extreme Base Station error? Using Macbook Pro

I am new to all of this and I thought I would be capable enough to set this all up but apparently I am not. HELP! I am trying to create and set up a wireless network using my Airport. I have an AT&T Westell Modem that is using dial up for internet. When I connect the modem directly to my computer I have internet access. The lights on the modem indicate that the ethernet and all other capabilities are working. I plugged in my Airport Extreme after using a cable to connect the modem to the Airport using the Ethernet port. The amber light is flashing and I followed the instructions to setting up my Airport using Airport Utility from the Applications folder. It detects my correct Airport but when I go to update and create my wireless network this error pops up:
Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6737)
My computer is sitting right next to the modem and the Airport. I am not near any metal or any water, and there are no walls or other electronics to interfere. Am I missing something here? Restarting all devices has also proven unsuccessful...Thanks for anything that can help!

If you just bought it I would recommend calling Apple, they can help you set it up.
Also you should consider getting a high speed Internet connection. They are very inexpensive these days and would make your Internet experience much more enjoyable. Where you live I would think you have a choice of DSL (available from most telephone companies) or Cable, which would be the quickest but also more money too.

How to properly disconnect a Mini Display Port (MDP) from a Macbook Pro 2012, 1,9?

Hello:
I was wondering if any Macxperts out there had any idea on how to properly disconnect a MDP Thunderbolt Cable from a 2012 1,9 Gen. Macbook Pro. From my experience with older Macbooks the command was "Command + F7" or something of the sort.
On my Macbook Pro 2012, there is no such button or commend to properly disconnect the plug; as if one were to disconnect or "eject" an external HD. I have read some articles on Google that some people just disconnect the plug and that action is sufice to disconnect an external video projection (Ex: Flat Screen Samsung).
Can a Macxpert or Genius comment on this piece of information? I would really apprecite some light shed on this situation. I just don't see unpluggin a cable connected to a video source enough to properly shut off a connection with out damaging the Macbook Pro's video card.
Thanks

Hello, Niel:
I just answer my own question. Forgive me but I am not up-to-date on the techlingo (Hot Swappable) but I just googled the term and found my answer.
Thanks again.

The extreme heat that comes from my macbook pro

my macbook pro gets so hot where my left palm rests on the laptop that it becomes unbearable. This happens often when I have alot of processes running and I could understand if the laptop just got a little bit hot from doing this task, but this intense heat generation is unacceptable and generally occurs more when I use the apple OS on my computer than the windows OS (even when i am playing hardware intense games on windows it never gets this hot)
I am currently downloading files wirelessley, listening to music, the keyboard is illuminated, the fans are spinning at a normal 1999 rpm's and the temperatures of my hardware seem normal, I am typing on my lap in a chair, but I am allowing proper ventillation from the back of the laptop and it still gets this hot occasionally when I am using it on a surface.
The heat only comes from that one spot underneath my wrist, any suggestions?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. You can read my thread on:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1076379&tstart=15
Well, besides FanControl, there is also the CoolBook utility were you can undervolt the CPU (without decreasing performance). However, the area we’re worried about is where the HD is located, lowering the CPU heat might not help. But since the entire case is in aluminum, it just might
I haven’t messed with CoolBook yet, as it doesn’t fully support Santa Rosa yet, and would also like to hear more experience from other MBP users.

Why can't i airdrop from my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) to my ipad air (IOS 8.0.2)

OR
How do I............

Wow, that's very disappointing.
I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.

I have a HP Laserjet P1102w printer hooked up to the USB port of my Airport Extreme. I'm able to print to the printer wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. My iPad (2nd gen) can't find the printer. What do I need to do?

My iPad is on the same network as the Airport Extreme. The HP printer is on the list of Airprint printers but I'm not using it as a wireless printer, per se, as it's hooked up to the USB port on the Airport Extreme.
I installed the HP ePrint app on my iPad. Unfortunately, the app could not find the printer either.
As mentioned earlier, I'm able to print wirelessly to the HP printer via my MacBook Pro.

Since I'm able to print to the HP printer from my MacBook Pro using this configuration, shouldn't I be able to print to the printer from my iPad, especially when all of the devices are on/using the same network?
Not necessarily. AirPrint uses a protocol separate from the communication protocol used for the Extreme's USB port. The HP printer may disable AirPrint when its USB port connected to a valid device, which is my reason for recommending you use it wirelessly.
From AirPrint Basics:
AirPrint printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported.
AirPrint printers connected by Ethernet are supported in OS X.
You may get more competent assistance from HP. See this HP support forum topic: iPhone & iPad can't Airprint to p1102w LaserJet
HP's Mac support has always been miserable though. I have been much happier since I abandoned HP and started buying Brother printers. They just work.

How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

Airport Extreme removes port forward settings every reboot

I have set up various port forward settings on my Airport Extreme from OS X Server. However, every time I reboot the Airport, all port forward settings are lost except Contacts, Calendars, and DNS. It gets very troublesome to constantly readd all my settings in there. Port forwards are the only settings that are lost.
Please help!

I found the issue – and it's fairly simple and obviously really. I'm guessing you were adding the ports from OS X Server in the order they are listed within Server.app (where they are listed in alphabetical order). After Calendar, Contacts and DNS is "File Sharing".
If this is enabled, whilst File Sharing is enabled on the AirPort Extreme, the port forwarding entry for File Sharing, and anything below is removed.
Simply disable "File Sharing" from AirPort Utility before continuing (as recommended by Server.app when setting up the service for File Sharing).
I understand you replaced your AE and no longer have the issue – I thought I'd leave the explanation should others encounter it.

HT3382 Connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor with resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200? It seems Apple does not supply a mini-DP to DP adapter.
However, just as they do not make a mini-DP to HDMI adapter, but they do recommend a Belkin product for this purpose.
Is there any reason that a mini-DP to DP adapter or cable wouldn't work and support high resolutions?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hey tjk,
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option.

I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer. Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer. Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.
