Can connect to internet, but software can't find base station

I bought the Airport express a few months ago to use with my stereo and IBM laptop. It took me a few tries to get it initially installed properly, but eventually did and everything worked great. A month or so ago I noticed that the tab to select "remote speakers" was not on my iTunes as it had been before. All of the settings were correct on my iTunes however so then I went to the AirPort Utility to check out the settings and the program said it could not find the base station. I tried to find the station on AirPort Set-up assistant. This program can find it but not connect to it (on the first page after the menu it shows the base station and when I hit "next" it can't connect to the station). All of this is really odd as I have internet access through this base throughout these problems. Any ideas what might be happening and how to fix it? I have reset the base station to factory settings numerous times, I have unplugged everything and restarted the whole process numerous times, I even left the base station unplugged for a week to let it relax. Still nothing works. I can connect to the internet through the station but can not find the station.

Thanks for your help. I can manually connect to the internet but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to recognize that there are remote speakers as my computer can't recognize my base station. Is there a manual way to do this?

  • Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot.  I have wifi or lan connect to router.

    Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot.  I have wifi or lan connect to router.
    All my connection to the internet had been stopped after I setup my new bought imac, and transferred data from my previous mac book.
    The connect test showed I have no connection to the internet.  But the interest is, I can connect to internet with Google Chrome, but in a quite slow connection speed.
    Check several times with the router and switches, DNS, wifi, lan settings etc.
    Give up after hours of trying.

    At the same time, another mac book using the same router can connect to the internet.  Even my iphone can also using wifi to connect to the internet.
    Chrome in the imac can, but Safari and the internet test cannot.

  • Can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums

    can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums in mp3.

    Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.

  • Can connect to Internet, but not router.

    I know, this is the opposite problem from what most people have. I am trying to connect through a WRT54G v.6 to the ethernet port in the wall (I don't know what the building is hooked up to, we just have ethernet ports next to our cable jacks).
    If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the 10/100 port of laptop, I connect to the Internet just fine.
    If I run the ethernet cable to the WRT54G, and then connect to it using my wireless card and the default, unsecured "linksys" SSID, I connect to the Internet just fine, but I can't access the Linksys router at 192.168.1.1 (though I can successfully ping it), and if I try, though I do get the password window and put admin as the password, the Internet stops working completely.
    If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the WRT54G and from the WRT54G to my computer, as you're supposed to and as I did when trying to set it up this morning, neither the included software nor Netset will give me access to the router. Trying 192.168.1.1 in the browser brings up the password window, but no amount of resetting the router to its factory defaults will give access.
    So there's my long story. I am, in fact, writing this via an unsecured, wireless connection to the default SSID. But if I dare try to access 192.168.1.1, I'll have to unplug the router and start again. What the heck is going on?

    download the tftp utility from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and upgrade the firmware

  • Can connect to internet, but can't find other computers in my network.

    I have two macs that connect to the internet via an Airport Express unit (which is setup to connect to the internet using DHCP and share a single IP address using DHCP/NAT). My problem is that the macs cannot seem to find each other in the network.
    How do I setup the network so that I can share the internet connection between both macs and at the same time connect from the one mac to the other? Is that even possible with an Airport Express unit?
    I have two more Airport Express units. Can I configure one of those to act as the local network bridge (or whatever the technical term for that is)
    I really just want to get all my macs to talk to each other, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how All help would be greatly appreciated!

    Never mind... I'm stupid... File Sharing was off... d'oh! It all works now

  • WRT54GS ... Can connect to Internet but not to my network

    I have three desktop computers wired to the router and a laptop that I connect using wireless. One of my computers went to the shop. Now, I can't get it to connect to the network, but I can access the Internet with a browser and with an FTP Client. The other computers still talk to each other fine. I reconfigured the problem desktop but no joy. Note that I cannot access the router at 192.168.1.1 from any computer. I unplugged the router for 30 seconds and replugged it... with no change. What's my next step? Thanks in advance for any help. New info. I can access the router by using Internet Explorer. And There is no light on the front panel indicating that the problem computer is connected ... even though I'm accessing the modem/Internet with it.

    Lower down the Ethernet Adapter card speed from Auto to 10 Half Duplex ...
    Also change the cable or the port in the routers back side ....

  • Airport not connecting to Internet, but I can connect directly

    Hi - My Airport Extreme (4th Generation) suddenly popped up and told me it was reporting problems.  I cannot remember exactly what the issue was, but I think it was something with the IP address.   (sorry, I know that's not helpful.)  Since then I have talked with my ISP, found I can directly connect via the ethernet, and wiped the Airport back to factory settings.  Any suggestions?  I can connect to the Airport, but it doesn't go out to the Internet.  Again, it's not the ISP, because I can connect with the Ethernet.  Thanks!

    A little more info - I remembered the error had to do with Bridge mode, telling me I had to either turn it on or off.  And the current issue is that it does not have an IP address???  But I see an IP address on there - it's not pulling it from the modem???  Thanks!

  • PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

    We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
    Please help us!

    Did you install the Airport utility onto windows?  If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
    TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
    Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
    Do you have permissions issues.. ??
    Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
    Do you have the right workgroup..?
    Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
    If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
    If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
    If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
    Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

  • Can connect to Internet but can't open any web pages

    Hi there helpers, I was on my iMac this morning and everything was fine. I could open any browsers and it could load pages very fast, but after I downloaded and tried to install Xquartz ( recommended by apple) I went on my browser again any tried to open Facebook but it didn't work all it said on the browser was NO DATA RECEIVED. I thought it was only Facebook so I tried google but it wasn't, it was all of the websites. So I'm not sure if I've accidentally downloaded a virus or malware. By the way I use google chrome to do the things above but I did do it again in safari. Thanks

  • Computer's can connect to wireless but I can't connect with e-book and i-pod

    I have a wrt54g I can connect with 3 laptops and 1 desktop but my ebook and ipod connects once and a blue moon please help

    Whats the Wireless settings you have setup on your Router (SSID, Channel, Security Mode)? Are you getting any error message when you are trying to connect to your wireless network?
    If you have setup WEP security on your Router, when you are trying to connect to your wireless network input the "$" sign before the WEP key and then click on connect and then check if you are able to go online or not.

  • Replay DVRs can connect to Internet, but not each other through new AEBS

    I have a new AEBS and have had a few problems with it. After experiencing a lot of signal dropping I rolled the firmware back to 7.2 and that seemed to fix those issues.
    Unfortunately, I'm still having one major problem. I have two RePlay DVRs wired to the AEBS. They can both connect to the Internet. (I know this because the TV guides are continuing to update.) But they cannot talk to each other. They should recognize each other and I should be able to watch files on one machine with the other. I could do this with no problem with my previous router. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have any ideas on what to do??

    Can anyone give me a clue? Should I exchange the AEBS, or is there a setting I could tweak??

  • MAC os x can connect to internet but shows Youtube server not available.

    I am trying to connect to youtube on safari and firefox as well but I keep getting a message that the youtube serve is not available.  I can hook up to it with my labptop Dell, but my apple will not let me and it has been a month now.

    Thanks,  Neville Hillyer. Your advice was helpful, but in os 10.4, mail 2.1.3, and Comcast setup advice online there were some port differences that solved the problem. Thanks to NH I saw the SSL option was not consistent on outgoing versus incoming; saw two different sequences to use mail preferences for setting up incoming versus outgoing; and saw on COMCAST set-up that they like 2 different port numbers. My other newer Macs have not had this problem (yet) which seems strange since I saw port 110 in all my Macs.
    Mail preferences:
    a-- accounts Information tab type POP, my userid, mypassword, and on advanced tab incoming port  should be 995, SSL checked, Authentication should be Password
    b-- accounts information incoming server mail.comcast.net, my userid and mypassword, outging server smtp.comcast.net:myuserid, server settings port 465, SSL checked.
    c-- in this old version mail 2.1.3, there is not save button until I select another account and a pop-up indicates my account changed and offered the save button which I selected. Mail then asked for my account's password; after I entered it, the outgoing test emails went out immediately.
    Mail sending works again.

  • I am connected to internet but I can't get on mozilla or internet explorer- mozilla just keeps going connecting

    all of a sudden I can not connect to mozilla or internet explorer. Mozilla just keeps saying connecting and goes nowhere. This started today. Yesterday it was working fine. I am connected to the internet. Nothing changed in the plug ins to the computer. The search engines just stopped working.I have no idea what to do. The rest of the stuff on my computer is working. I use Mozilla a lot and really need to get it working again. I have tried rebooting computer. I have hooked up and unhooked my modem. I phoned my internet company and as I say the internet is running.
