Bought New Extreme, works great with Macs but can't get PC to connect

I just bought a new Airport Extreme this weekend. As promised it was a breeze to set up and things were working well until I tried to connect my TIVO and my work laptop (Windows) to the network I set up. I can't get either to connect to either the base network or the guest network with any level of security set on it. My only success has been to configure the Guest Network without security on it (but I don't like that idea).
Please help.

I don't see "Equivalent Network Password" as a selection on the Base Network screen (or any of them for that matter).
Isn't this the password for my base station and not the wireless network? Maybe that is my problem. I am trying to connect to the network and not the Base Station? I am getting confused. What I really need to do is connect my work laptop (Windows based machine) and my TIVO to the wireless network I've created (Radio Mode selected to Automatic, Channel Selection to Automatic, Security set to WPA/WPA2 Personal).

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

Have Imac with boot camp windows 7. Sound works great in mac but no sound in windows?

I have new IMAC 24 with snow leopard os and installed windows 7 ultimate 32 with boot camp. The sound works great when in MAC but there is no sound when boot up in windows.The mixers show a sound level as music is plaing but no sound out of speakers or earphones. I read on forum that many others have had same situation with Mac Book Pros and had success by downloading new realtec audio drivers, but my system has Cirius 2406 ab9 drivers and I can't find any replacements for them. Does anyone have a fix?

Keep on trying, keep searching as there are quite a few work around's for different issues.
One way is to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers and update them again via the Apple Software Updater in Windows. You did update them the first time, right?
Or extract the sound drivers from the Boot Camp package (or the DVD if you have it) and just install those again. You should find a few how-to's in the search results.
Sorry I can't help more...

AirPort Express works great with PC but not with MAC

I have a PC and a MAC both able to connect to my AirPort Express in another room and play music. My MAC is a newer MacBook. When I'm running my iTunes library off my PC everything works fine and doesn't cut out. When I connect to my library on my MAC it plays fine for a while than most always cuts in and out and than completely won't work unless I reset the AirPort Express. My PC is running WIRED to my router and my MAC is running WIRELESS.
Why is this happening? Is it because I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my MAC? Maybe that my MAC is running wireless? You'd think Apple products would work best with Apple products

Anyone at all? Any settings or anything to be set? Nothing?

Ichat works with macs, but can't send/accept invites with pcs

bear with me, still a newbie/read discussions, this is my 1st post. audio ichat ok with mac friend, but ichat menu options won't allow invite audio or video chat with sister using pc, even though i downloaded aim 6.7 in addition to ichat. i have road runner and digital videocam with firewire, sister has comcast with logitech quickcam, she was able to ichat with mac friends. i've read ichat help & discussions, contacted applecare & roadrunner & aol, no luck...
1) should i uninstall aim6.7?
2) ichat preference shows camera/mic/bandwidth/but no port option, need to open port 443 with firewall on? how? where?
3) what info is my query missing?
4) i'll upgrade to 10.5 + airport express + 20"display soon, will that cause other issues?
5) is this a repair permissions issue somehow? i've pulled tips on weekly maintenance. my entire family is waiting, i'm at a complete loss...please help.
thanks, teta bepa

howdy steve,
good news first. ichat worked a-ok with my mac friend. i have os10.3.9, ichat av2.1.3, panasonic digvidcam w/ firewire. mac friend has os10.4.1, ichat av3.1.8, imace w/ isight. simple as pie, no problem to start ichat, good sound and video, couldn't have been easier. connection doctor info looked fine too, video and audio at 100%. yippee!
this mac friend had previously been able to ichat with my pc sister, not perfect, but they certainly made contact for videochat. as for my contact w/ pc sister, i'm still trying and hoping...
pc sister upgraded her aim to version 6.5.4.16, via comcast.net by the way. i also told her to allow aim6.exe exception in firewall, and directed her to ralphjohnsuk info too. we both shut off our firewalls, as had my mac friend. FINALLY in my buddy menu options, i was able to send videochat invite to my sister. ichat said "sending invite" and "starting videochat" but that's as far as it got. at least the connection doctor did not mention "no response" or failed or anything like that, connection doctor just seemed to wait for audio/video info.
what do you think is going on? it seems we're very close to actual videochat. at least my mac is getting fewer error messages, it's waiting for videochat to start. the even bigger mystery is...how could my mac friend have previously gotten videochat w/ my pc sister, but nothing now?
now we 3 are at wit's end as to how to loop in my pc sister. i truly appreciate any insight you may offer. thanks for your time and expertise. take care.
teta bepa
(by the way, i'm upgrading to os10.5 and will attempt videochat when i'm wireless w/ airport.)

TS2972 Apple TV (2) works great with everything BUT iTunes on my computer, AND I can turn Home Sharing Off and On multiple times and NOTHING show up under "shared" and NOTHING shows up under Computers on Apple TV???

My Apple TV (2) works fine with my iPad and iPhone.
My iTunes syncs with my iPad and iPhone.
I have turned "Home Sharing" off and on multiple times - of course using the same AppleID - and NOTHING shows up under Shared (and then Shared goes away) and NOTHING shows up under "Computers" on Apple TV?
Why aren't Apple TV and iTunes smart enought to work with each other on the same network? This should not be this difficult...

I think I am having the same problem.
My issue: since updating the software on ATV, I get an issue where shortly after starting a movie or video of some sort streaming from iTunes on my iMac the vid stops and Apple TV tells me that I need to connect to my Home Sharing account. Sometimes I can fix it by turning Home Sharing off and back on in my settings. Sometimes I need to completely reboot the AppleTV!
Any suggestions???

My website presents RSS feeds to viewers. This works great with IE but Firefox does not load the RSS data, although it does present the page with blank data regions. Ideas?

Web design tool used is NetObject Fusion 11 which puts a php proxy script on the server to function as a gateway between the RSS feed and the browser.

XmlDocument.create doesn't seem to work in Firefox. You can see an error in the Tools > Error Console

I have bought an i phone 5 with no sim can i get it unlocked to us any network

I have just bought an I phone 5 with no sim in it can i unlock it to any network so i can use it on 02. can apple help me with this

Only the carrier the phone is locked to can unlock it, Apple cannot unlock phones. Being Sim free does not mean its unlocked. Just that it has no sim.
What iPhone did you buy? Is it locked to a carrier?

Airport Express will connect wired, but can't get it to connect wireless

I purchased three APE units specifically to connect my iTunes library to multiple house receivers. I went through the setup for two of them, but as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable, the wireless network won't recognize them. I tried rebooting the router. DIdn't work. Next I tried unplugging the APEs and plugging them back in, but unless the ethernet cable is connected I get ther persistent flashing amber light. I should mention that my iTunes library resides on a PC running windows 7, but I also have a MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone; all of which I will be using to controll my music if I ever get this to work.

New Firefox works on i Mac, but not at all on MacBook. But on my MacBook, I can't do anything with Firefox. If I click on it, it just shows a blank screen. What can I do to remedy this?

See original question.

If a Reset is not working for you... Then...
Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

My photoshop elements serial number is not working on my new mac. I had windows before and returned it for a mac but can't get my serial number to work

my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

I agree with bearcatnat in that i don't know what adobe expects us to do about serials on the forums, since were just users such as yourself and don't work for adobe.

IPod works well with Mac but Windows can't Open it when connected

My iPod details: Capacity - 74.37GB, Software Version - 1.3, Format - Windows (MS-DOS FAT 32 format)
MAC details given below.
PC details - Windows XP, Service Pack 3.
My iPod was formatted to work with Windows and Mac as I only had a PC when I bought it. It's been working quite well since I bought it and later with the Mac too. However, since the past few weeks, when plugged in to a PC via USB, the iPod is recognised as a folder and fails to OPEN or be EXPLOREed. The only thing allowed is a SEARCH option which helps me transfer files between PC and MAC.
Help guys!

There may or may not be a physical fault with the WD drive, but Macs can read but not write to NTFS disks unless you use a third party driver like Paragon NTFS for Mac, or NTFSMounter.
Your post seems to imply that before the current problems it used to be OK (ie you could read and write to it). Have you got NTFS for Mac or similar?
Did you have a reson for formatting NTFS? Mac drives are formatted HFS+. If you want Windows to read Mac disks you can install MacDrive in Windows, and Paragon HFS for Windows.

New ipod, started up with Mac but want to download from music from windows?

Ok, so I got my new 5th gen ipod and started it up with my Mac. However all my music is on my old laptop..windows. Is it possible without restoring the ipod to download my music from windows? By the way I am hopeless and my Mac is 2nd hand so I am not sure if it is MacOS9.2.x. Not that that makes a difference, just so you know. Or will I have to put all my music onto my MAC? Please advise

Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.  If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

IPhoto worked great; with Photo I can no longer import pictures from my camera. Why?

I never had a single problem importing photos using a USB connection between camera and iMac. Since the new Photos was automatically installed with the latest OS Yosemite update, I no longer can import photos...the screen automatically opens, it shows all the photos on my camera, it allows me to choose which photo(s) I want to import and then I click "Import" and I get a nasty message that my photos to be imported are NOT in the correct format. Well, what the heck format are they supposed to be in? I see nowhere on my camera where I can change a format...
HELP!!!! I need to import photos of my granddaughter's First Communion for my entire family and the photos are stuck on my camera!!

Backup cycle - running you normally computer backup - you do have a regular backup going don't you?
Image Capture is an application in your Applications folder exactly as I stated
Try Image capture (in your applications folder) or a card Reader - once the photos are safely on your mac and at least one successful backup cycle has run use the camera's format command to reformat the card
In order to import as before you have to solve the problem that you have
In irder to solve the problem you have to read and follow directiopns
Simply posting crazy comments and not fooling directions will not resolve your problem
