AirTunes ok with Imac but nit Ibook?

Hi
Setup - IbookG4 with AE and Airport Express in lounge plus Extreme in study next door with iMacG4 connected via ethernet - also Netgear DG834 - Imac updated to 10.4.3 - iBook updated lastweek with Airport 2005 1. but not yet to 10.4.3
All works OK with both machines - adsl / printing etc plus i can use iTunes/Airtunes from the iMac - but not the iBook (which is is the same room as the Airport Express).
iTunes shows the Express as available in the drop-down - not italisised.
Problem occured prior to the iBook Airport update - which is why i applied it - thinking it might cure the problem
Any ideas???

Hi
Sorry my description was a bit off!!
The IMac is situated in the study and is conected to the Airport Extreme Base Station via ethernet cable...
The iBook connects to the Airport Extreme via buit-in Airport Extreme card...
The Netgear 834 is connected to the Airport Extreme and shared by both machines...
I have one printer attached to the Extreme Base Station via USB and 2 further printers attached to the iMac again via USB
The Airport Express is situated in the lounge and is listed in the Airport Admin Utility under its own name and IP address
As stated above, all this lot has worked OK for some time until a day or so before I applied the 10.4.3 update to the iMac and the 2005 .1 Airport update to the iBook.
To repeat the only thing not working is being able to use Airtunes or Airfoil from the iBook - the iMac is ok in all respects.
And again, the Airport Express shows up in the drop-down on iTunes
Thanks hope this is a bit clearer!!!

IPad successfully paired with iMac, but it says it isn't connected

It says my device is not connected and on my iMac, it shows the bluetooth connection to the iPad, but has a red dot and it says not connected. How do I connect them. Thanks!

My iPad isn't house broken, never mind jailbroken. It's a bog standard Gen 2 iPad (no 3g).
The iMac is by the window, where it's able to pick up a free WiFi signal. The iPad doesn't see the WiFi at all, even when I stand by the window with it. The iMac seems to have a better receiver. That's when I decided to see if I could use the iMac to share its internet connection, and after a bit of mucking around it worked via bluetooth.
Hope these images help...
1. iMac SysPrefs 'Bluetooth' tab screen shot
2. iMac SysPrefs 'Sharing' tab screen shot
To check "Bluetooth PAN" checkbox on the right, you have to uncheck "Internet Sharing" on the left first. (Re-check it when you're done)

IPod wont work with iMac but works in Vista

I have an 80GB iPod Classic that works perfect on my computer running Windows Vista and iTunes 7. I have only ever used it with iTunes.
My iPod's format is FAT32 (Windows). And it's running software Version 1.1.2 and disk use is enabled.
When i try and plug it into an iMac (iMac G5) running OS X 10.3.9 it doesn't work. It doesn't come up as an external drive so I can't access it as an external disk and it fails to work in iTunes.
I have upgraded the Mac to the latest version of iTunes but this still doesn't solve the problem. I tunes gives me the following error "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted...". This is not the case, my iPod is not corrupted.
How can i get my iPod to work on the Mac?

If you buy an iPod, you are Apple's customer whether you use Windows or Mac OS X. Therefore, your statement
nice how they screw their own customers.
makes zero sense.
If Apple products work in Windows for an extended period of time, this is because the most common and popular (by far) version of Windows is getting on 8 years old. And since XP is so prevalent, Apple has to support it, just like any other company that makes products that work with Windows. It is highly unlikely that Windows Vista will ever surpass XP in usage; Apple will no doubt continue to support XP with iTunes and iPods when XP is TEN years old.
For Mac OS X, Apple has been pushing the rate of development much faster. Therefore, Panther is already "old" technology, even if it was released after Windows XP. Panther is PowerPC-only and most active Macs (in the installed base) are now Intel-based, with 3 million new Intel Macs being added to the installed base every quarter. ALL Intel Macs use Tiger or Leopard. Most Power PC Mac users with supported hardware have at least upgraded to Tiger, if not Leopard. Therefore, only a small fraction of Mac users still use Panther day to day. SO... Tiger is obviously a good cutoff point for backward support, just as Windows XP is a good cutoff point on the Windows side. It's just common sense, not Apple trying to "screw customers."
It's not just Apple using this common sense. Many, if not most, third party software and hardware Mac products being released right now require Tiger or Leopard, just like with Apple.
As for your actual problem, I would try Restoring the iPod on the Windows side (assuming you have a copy of all the files on the PC). A Mac should be able to read FAT32 format, both in iTunes (using manual management) and as a hard drive using Finder. If you can get this to work, you can copy the iTunes media files onto the iPod as files (not through iTunes) and then transfer them to the Mac as files. Then load them into the Mac's iTunes library.
Continue using your Windows PC to sync the iPod. On the Mac side, use +manual management+ (do not sync).

Airport Extreme working with iMac but not with Windows 7 Laptop!

My iMac (OSX 10.5.8) has been working fine with my Airport Extreme, but a new member of our household cannot connect wirelessly with their Windown 7 Laptop. The PC can see the wireless name for our household and says it is connected to it, but there is a problem actually connecting to the internet. Has anyone experienced similar problems? We are at a loss as to what to do. Applecare were no help (despite forking out for the advanced applecare warranty) and both Mac and PC service providers blame each other. Any advice would be much appreicated. Surely the Airport Extreme can talk simultaneously to PC and Mac wireless computers?

I have had the same issue. Airplay working with all devices apart from one windows 7 (the actual media server) and have spent over a week trying to resolve it.
This worked for me.
Turn off windows firewall and in my instance macafee. Be warned while macafee says that it's off there are services running all the time.
You will need to open macafee settings and turn off access protection first
Then search services from start bar
Open services and filter by manufacturer
Stoop all macafee services
Right click the start bar
Open task manager
Stop all macafee processes
Try your airport utility you should now see your express
If you can you will see your icon in iTunes
This pores that it's likely to be a macafee issues. Of course you do not want to leave the firewall off so I installed macafee and installed a fresh copy turning both the windows and macafee firewall on with no resultant issues
Hope this helps

Airtunes works with music but not with tv show

I have an AE wired to my to my A/V receiver and I play itunes music wirelessly thru the AE and it works fine. Problem: I downloaded a TV show and the audio will not stream via the AE and will only play thru the computer. The video works fine fine in both cases as I have it hooked to my TV via my A/V receiver from my Macbook display port. I am running itunes 8.1 and my AE is on firmware version 7.4.1.
Anyone know why the songs audio works and the tv show audio does not?

Thanks for that fast and definitely a fix at this time. It also works with internet radio, not just the iTunes radio stations. Now my wife will be able to listen to KFOG from San Francisco and I can actually hear my movies, since I am using a MacBook and it is just not loud enough.
Thanks Again Andy.
I love these forums.

Since 10.7.4 update keep getting wifi self assigned address message. I can get on with iMac but can't share the wifi with my iPad.

Anyone have any fixes?

This is confusing as you say in the first post you have Lion installed and want to upgrade to Mavericks, and in your second post say Mavericks is installed. If you have Mavericks installed, what are you trying to upgrade?
As to your request in the first post, there is no DVD or USB version of Mavericks available. Mavericks is only available by Internet download.

Problems with Migration Assistant ..... G3 iMac to G4 iBook

I've run into problems in using the Migration Assistant and a FireWire cable to transfer the data files I had accumulated on an old G3 iMac (running on OS 10.3.9) to a new G4 iBook (running on OS 10.4.6). The cable connection and following the steps of the Assistant went just fine. I instructed the Assistant to transfer the data files but not the applications. However, when the process was all done (according to the Assistant):
(a) there were no instructions for finishing up and disconnecting the FireWire cable, so after looking around and finding nothing, I just disconnected the cable and immediately lost the orange iMac hard drive icon from the desktop of the iBook (and, from what I can tell, all of the data files that I thought had been transferred); and
(b) I then discovered that none of the data files that I thought had been transferred to the iBook are there, but all of the applications are there .... i.e., the exact opposite of the instructions I had entered. What now remains in the hard drive of the iBook are an empty Desktop Folder (labeled that it had been transferred from the iMac) and a new System Folder (similarly labeled) containing all of the applications that had been on the iMac.
Thinking that I must have made an error of some sort, I went back and re-ran the entire procedure again. However, I got exactly the same result.
So now, how do I get rid of all the applications that came over from the iMac? Can I just drag that one folder to the Trash? Or have they all been installed and now I need to uninstall them? And if so, how do I do this?
And how do I get the data files over from the iMac to the iBook?
My heartfelt thanks to anyone who can help me undo this mess!

Open the Users folder on your hard disk and see if there are any folders inside that folder with red circles; if so, that is where your data files may be. Log out and then in from the account you migrated; if you're not sure what username and password to use, open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check or change the settings there. Once done, move the files you want to transfer to the /Users/Shared/ folder and from there to your normal account's home folder when logged in to that account. Once you've moved over everything you want, you can delete the migrated account. The applications that were migrated can be deleted.

I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.
Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

My IMac has stopped seeing the keyboard. I have changed the batteries and the green light comes on saying it is looking to pair with the IMac but without success. I am left with the IMac switched on and I am unable to enter a password.

I have been using my IMac without a problem when I left it and went back to enter the password the IMac did not see the keyboard. I have changed the batteries and the green light comes up on the keyboard and then starts to flash indicating it is looking for the IMac but nothing happens. I have tried another set of new batteries with the same result. Is there any known problems in this area. The IMac is 5 months old.
Thank you for any help

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.
