Apple tv can not find my hidden wireless network

Am trying to install Apple TV 2nd generation.
I use a hidden wi fi network.
I enter the name of the network when prompted, but Apple TV says it can not find the network.
All other devices in my home have found the network.
What could be the problem?

Just disable the hidden network feature so that the Apple TV can see the SSID .Once connected you can reset it .By the way a Hidden Network isn't a security feature .

Lot's of people reporting Wifi problems with 10.7.4, but some things to try...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find the computer, it says "turn on the home sharing". Both of these are on, iTunes and Apple TV, what to do? It was working perfect before update.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure the firewall and wifi router is not blocking it you can likely see if its the wifi router by connecting by etherent cable that would mean itsopen in terms of ports

TS1398 I can not find my wi-fi network at home?

Computer can not find 6310 scanner on network

6310 all in one working fine both printing and scanning then all of a sudden Photo smart can not find the scanner on the network. The printer continues to work fine. How can I get both of my network computers to fing the scanner ?

Sorry for not getting back. I tried all the suggestions and could not see the server. It was not showing up in the ipconfig /all except when I queried at the server. I could not get a successful ping from the client either.
However, a little digging, and some conversations with prior admins of the domain, I have determined there was no real domain. The 2003 server was there in name only, the client pc's were just doing their own thing and just using shared folders in the server.
The domain controller was a Qwest (telephone company internet) modem and still is because the guy who programed it will not give me the password until we can meet and he can see what I am trying to do -- go figure that one.
However, all that being said I was able to change one client pc's hosts file and add the server static ip and name and then like magic the "//server2012/connect" worked just as advertised. So I connect that pc, a user for it and the server
is acting just as it should for that pc, the old server and itself under the right domain name.
I still can not get to the outside world with remote web connect as the Qwest Modem is blocking the connection; my guess is the right ports are not forwarded. My solution seems to be getting access to the modem and transferring the DNS, and probably the
DHCP, control from it to the server 2012.
So I appreciate the help so far, but I feel I can not really ask for more help until I get control of the whole network and perform some more diagnostics. Should I close this question and open a new one in the future when I have one?
Thanks for all the input so far, though, Ed

My computer and phone both can not find the airport wireless connection even though the status light is green whats going on?

I have cox as my internet provider and the last couple weeks i have been having a ton of connection problems. The status light on my airport express is green but my computer is saying the connection is timing out and my phone is having issues connecting to the internet even though it says it is still connected to my wireless network. is it my airport express or something else?

Manually mount the TC in the computer..
In finder use Go/Connect to server.
Type in the name of the TC or its IP address.. I recommend you use all names of SMB standard.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric. That will give you much less trouble.
So AFP://TCname.local (where you use the TCname replaced with the actual network name of the TC. local is the domain by default.
You can use alternative AFP://TCIPaddress like AFP://10.0.1.1 (default IP of TC as router). This is only useful when the TC has a static IP.
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in all the network adapters in the computer and the TC.
Then go to TM preferences and you should see the TC listed as a possible target for TM.
Read Pondini for other issues.

Can't find the iBahn wireless network here at the Anaheim Marriott.

I'm using the iBahn wireless network offered by the Marriott for my laptop, but my iPad2 will not even pick up the signal. It is a pay connection, will this cause the ipad to not even recognize the signal? How do I get that changed so that I can actually use the ipad?

How did you have to sign up for the network on your laptop? It could be a hidden network thus not broadcasting its SSID and you will not see it. To connect to a hidden network you use the join other option and the the SSID, security type and password.

Airport Express can't find D-Link wireless network

Hi all,
I'm on my third AirPort Express. I'm trying to use it in client mode to connect to a D-Link DIR-655 WAP, so I can run AirTunes. The first unit was a Best Buy refurb that I was able to configure fine, but it kept dropping the connection and having other issues, so I returned it. The next two units were fresh from the Apple Store. NEITHER has been able to even find my D-Link SSID - it's not listed in the list of networks to join in client mode, and entering the SSID directly doesn't work either. I've tried resetting both the Airports and D-Links multiple times, changed SSID/broadcast/channel settings, tried turning wireless security on and off... ALL my other wireless devices have no issues whatsoever finding and connecting to the D-Link. This includes a '06 iMac, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad2, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro, Sony VAIO laptop, the first refurb AirPort Express... you get the point. I put in a call to Apple for the 2nd unit, and they said the radio must be broken, so I exchanged for the 3rd unit, and it still doesn't see the D-Link. Losing my mind here! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Marc

Welcome to the discussion area, bob36!
To do what you want, you'll need the AirPort Express 802.11n. The model number, visible in the fine print on the side is A 1264.
Is this the model you have? If so, post back for some configuration tips to enable the ethernet port.
If...you have the older version of the AirPort Express, model A 1084, unfortunately this version will not allow you to do what you want to do unless your main router is also an Apple device and you re-configure both devices to particapte in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
The downside to the WDS is that it will drop your entire network down to "g" level speeds and cut the bandwidth by 50%.

Computer can't find printer on wireless network

Hi
I have a HP laserjet pro 200 m276nw and it is connected to my WIFI, but when im tryin to add the printer under printers and faxes, it dosn't show. Windows just keeps seaching the network but it never showes. Does anybody have an idea about what's going on?
Im running windows 7 on my computer

Hey mortensmedegaar,
It sounds like you are trying to install the LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw via the Windows: Add a Printer feature. Have you tried installing the printer with the full driver software provided on the HP support website?
If not, then I would advise attempting to install via this software package. Before doing so I would advise a couple of steps to ensure the network is on a fresh start and the printer is recently connected.
Power cycle the router and wait for it to completely power back up before proceeding.
Power cycle the printer and restart the Windows 7 PC
Press the Setup menu button (looks like a gear and wrench)
Select the Network Setup Menu
Scroll down and select Restore Defaults
Once the defaults are restored, scroll up in the Network Setup Menu and select Wireless Menu
Run the Wireless Setup Wizard again to reconnect the printer for a fresh IP address from DHCP
Next try to run the install package for the printer from HP's support website. To download this driver one can click here.
As well, there is a troubleshooting document for if the M276nw is not able to be found during a wireless installation. The document can be located by clicking here.
Let me know how it goes.
