Can see my iMac on my MBP but can't see my MBP on my iMac on Airport Netwrk

I have a wireless network at home provided by Airport Extreme Base Station and two AE's.
I have enabaled file sharing on both my iMac G5 and my MacBook Pro.
I am able to mount my iMac HD (and other external drives) on my MacBook Pro but I am unable to mount my MacBook Pro on my iMac.
Are there any network genii out there that can help?
Thanks

You are saying that is is seeing your library but you can't play music. Do you see the songs, albums and so on in the library? Did you try closing the Music App completely and launch it again?
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice. Launch the Music app again.
Sometimes it helps if you reboot the iPad when mysterious problems arise.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

Thanks for the quick reply.
So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
Thanks again for the help.

why is streaming to my sony TV slowing to .4 mbps from 8.ombps while watching a netflix movie? this has become a problem in the last 2 months. This also happens on another TV but not concurrently.. Is it a problem with "airport extreme" or with the IP service? Airport extreme software is up to date.
please advise

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Apple TV2 with iMac via AirPort but without W-Lan?

Hello Apple TV insiders
I have my iMac connected to the internet with cable-LAN. iTunes is ready and the iMac has AirPort. I have no Wireless LAN. Will I be able to connect Apple TV 2 to my iMac via AirPort without W-LAN? (They couldn't tell me at my local Apple dealer...)
Thanks for information or links!

If your network doesn't have wifi, connect your devices by Ethernet, wifi is not a necessity and indeed Ethernet is always the best way to connect things on a network.
An ad hoc network created with your iMac cannot be used with the Apple TV.

Brand-new Santa Rosa MBP, Kernel Panics related to Airport

Brand new MBP (2.4GHz 15"), anytime I do anything online I get a kernel panic. I am connecting to a WPA-2 network that is supporting stable connections to several other computers, including another (albeit older) MBP. I have no third-party sw installed, I have no peripherals attached, I have installed all available updates, I have run disk verify/repair and permission repair via the install disk and the problem persists. I have also physically inspected the RAM modules to make sure they're situated properly.
The console log shows mbuf failures (I can only access the log if I have the airport off) that are similar to the problem Apple identified in 10.4.8 but were supposedly solved w/ 10.4.9 (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
artnum=303712).
So two questions: anyone else out there experiencing this on a WPA-2 or other network? If so, any fixes that don't involve me having to return this computer to Apple? If this is a QA issue that could have been prevented through better testing prior to release...

Hey Don (and others)
I bought a new Santa Rosa MPB yesterday and am suffering the same issues. My office uses WPA (not sure about the specifics) and within the first hour of ownership (of my FIRST Apple machine ever) I suffered kernel panics.
I get back to my workplace from the local Apple Store, get all set up and online. I run all the software updates fine. Next, I shut the lid and proudly carry my new Mac to a meeting. Open the lid and notice I can't get online. I stop and start the wireless and immediately get a kernel panic.
Restart, and it happens again.
Restart, and I can get online finally. With the help of some coworkers I get to the panic.log file and notice the panic happens around the Airport.

Later I discovered that the office uses WPA. So I bring the MBP home and connect via my WEP encrypted WiFi, and haven't had the same problem once (so far it's been over 24 hours, with many "sleeps" in the meantime).
I did have another panic, waking up out of a 'deep sleep' this morning (after having had the lid shut for 6 hours)...

ACPI seems to have crashed something, hoping I can recreate this tomorrow morning.
At this point, I'm just glad to see I'm not the only owner of a the new MBP's suffering the same WPA-related crashes. Also, I do wonder if I got a replacement if it would solve anything, though I'm up for trying and may try tomorrow.
Overall, a bit frustrated (especially since after craving a MBP for months and holding out for the new models, to have these issues).
Oh, I also have a 2.4ghz 15"

Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
many thanks
marwan

I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
Anyway finally this worked for me:
1) Hard-resetting the AX
2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
- Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
- Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
- Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

Setup AExpress to share internet w/ iMac (internal Airport)

Thw iMac in house is sharing internet through on board airport: "House Computer" over Network Fastaccess DSL/Airport connection. Home office is in backyard and signal is weak so I bought a Airport Express.
When I run iMac's Airport Utility it sees the new Airport Express but doesn't recognize the onboard wireless signal so I can configure the AEx?? If I try to walk through the utility for the new device it won't let me?? Also it makes me turn off the internet sharing of the iMac.
The Airport Express is new (5/2010) the iMac is 2 years old and on OS 10.4...
Help

Hello Rae Nell Hunter. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but you cannot use the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to extend the wireless range of the built-in AIrPort Extreme Card in your iMac.

Having problems seeing multiple hard drives attached to my Airport Extreme.

I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme from Apple.com. I set it up and have been able to access my powered, 1 TB desktop hard drive, but when I attach a powered USB hub and two additional hard drives that are not powered (they're both portable, USB-powered drives), I'm usually only able to see my 1 TB desktop drive. When I can see them, it's only through the Airport Utility app and it says they're 0 mb drives. I'm never able to see them in Finder. I'm never able to drop anything onto either of the drives. Only the 1 TB drive. If anyone knows why and can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

How are the portables formatted?

What's wrong with the New iMac's AirPort?

Hello
Last night I spent 4 hours trying to connect with my brand new wireless router (Netgear DG834PN). The one time I did connect and tried to configure using Netgear's Wizard (using Safari) my Mac's AirPort Extreme dropped the connection, never to return. The next 3hrs 55mins were spent trying to to get the two devices to connect. Unsuccessfully. Very frustrating!
I even tried connecting the two devices via ethernet, and still no joy. What should I do? Is my new Mac's Built-in AirPort Extreme faulty? Is my new wireless router faulty? Any other testing suggestions welcome.
I've have read, on this forum, about possible problems with the new aluminium iMac's AirPort. Is this a known fact or just a batch issue?
*Many Thanks* (Apologies if I haven't explained myself very well, first post)
Mike

*Hi it's me again*
Still no joy trying to connect to my router wirelessly via AirPort.
*+(Xiaofan & Benderissimo)+* - I can't even get as far as logging into the router via a browser. AirPort literally can't see anything even thought it's switched on. This means I have no chance to change the channel or anything else. I'm stuck.
Could AirPort be locked out or something?
On the plus side I have connected to the internet via ethernet. It was no problem at all. I basically connected a length on Cat. 5 cable from port 1 at the back of the router and into my Mac, and *hey presto!* (broadband at full speed). Happy.
The thing is I eventually want to move my iMac upstairs, this is when I need AirPort wireless to start working. I don't want to trail 100ft of Cat. 5 cable all round the house.
What else can I try to make my built-in AirPort Extreme work?
_*I'm Flummoxed, Apple help me.*_

Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
Anybody have any ideas?

I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

I can't get a reliable wifi signal between my Airport Express in the office and Express in the house and i can't get a cable between the two. Any suggestions for getting internet connection in both buildings?

I need to get internet to both the house and my office, which is in a separate building approx 20m from the house. I was advised by Apple to buy an Airport Express, set it up on one or other building, and connect wirelessly to the other. Tried that, but couldn't get a reliable signal.
I was then advised to buy another Airport Express and use it as an expander in the other building. Trouble is, i can't get a reliable wireless signal between the two Expresses, so it keeps dropping the connection, and is slow when it is connected.
I rang Apple again and was told that i could try a third Airport Express between the two existing ones, but that is impossible as there is only outdoors between the two.
It would be very difficult and expensive to get an ethernet cable between the two buildings (have to cut through concrete etc), and I see from the discussion forums that an Airport Extreme has the same wireless signal as an Express, so replacing one of the Expresses with an Extreme seems unlikely to resolve the problem. Can anyone think of any other options?

The Powerline adapters mentioned by edex67 are your only hope if you cannot run an Ethernet cable.
Even if the home and office are on the same electrical circuit, you won't really know how well the Powerline adapters might work until you actually try them out at your location.
For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.

Can I install an extra router when using an airport?

I have an airport installed downstairs in my house but the signal keeps dropping in some part upstairs. Can I instal an extra router upstairs or another airport?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Correct. You can connect another AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule to extend the network from the actual AirPort station. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.

I can't expand my Time capsule with an other airport to support wifi transfer itunes music to my stereo receiver.
I can see my time capsule in the airport configuration program, but not my airport. Not even when it is cabled.

On the side label find the model number.. A1084 for example is old. It will not work.
The new one A1392 and the earlier N wireless A1264 will both work.
