Hello rmtgoat...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Which radio mode do you have your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) set to? For both the eMac and iBook, it should be at least "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)"
Are you running the latest version of AirPort for Mac on the eMac and iBook? The following are the minimum requirements for WPA2:
Minimum Requirements for WPA2
- AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) w/firmware 5.7, or
- 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) w/firmware 7.0, or
- AirPort Express Base Station (AX) w/firmware 6.3
- AirPort Extreme or AirPort clients running Mac OS X 10.3 or later
- AirPort for Mac or AirPort for Windows 4.2 or AirPort Utility 5.0
Try temporarily disabling both wireless encryption and closed network. Can they access the AEBSn now?

In what way are you trying to connect? File sharing? Printer sharing? Screen sharing? Something else?
How are your computers connected to this network? What happens when you try to connect to them?
Best of luck.

We have a PC with iTunes that needs the hard drive reformatted. Right now, it can't connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my music to a thumb drive, then re-load when the computer is reformatted?

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?

Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

Suddenly can't connect to shared computers or screen share

For some reason I can no longer connect to my shared computers. I can however connect to MY computer from my shared computers, if that makes sense.
From my own computer, when I go to my shared list in the finder, I click on a computer (normally it all automatically connects because I have the password remembered), I click "connect as" and I never get any response, sometimes a "connection failed" I know file sharing is enabled on all computers.
Is there a way to refresh my list? What can I do to reconnect to my shared computers? This seems to have been happenings since I last updated the OS.
Also, I can no longer do a screen share where I was doing this regularly every day.
Thanks
Dan

Airport express - have signal, can't connect from other computers

i'm not the most computer savvy, so i apologize if i don't know all the terminology. i'll try to explain my problem as best i can...
i have airport express. i'm using it as a base station in my father's office and then attempting to connect wirelessly with my laptop and my brother's laptop. i know the internet itself works because my mother's computer, which connects via ethernet, has internet access. my dad's computer, which is, i guess, the airport administrator station, has internet. his wireless signal is, obviously, fine.
for some reason, though, i cannot connect to the internet on either my laptop or my brother's. both computers have strong wireless signals and SAY they are connected, but when i open safari, i can't connect. i've tried EVERYTHING -- reread the apple support stuff about 100 times. i thought maybe there was a PPPoeP issue, but that doesn't seem to be it... i've done a hard reset of the airport express and that doesn't fix it... i've checked all the network configurations and they seem to be fine... the IP addresses on both laptops begin with "10.0.1."something, which seems to be right... i'm stumped.
my best guess is that there must be settings on my dad's computer that don't recognize the laptops trying to connect.
if anybody has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. if you have any particular places on the apple support page that you think i should look at, just post the link. thanks in advance.
p.s. my dad's computer runs 10.4.5, my brother's laptop same, and my laptop 10.2.6, if that makes any difference.

one more thing... my laptop definitely has the capacity to connect wirelessly, as i use it at work with no problem... it just automatically connects to the strongest signal. basically, everything looks right, it shows a strong signal and says i'm connected to the network, but then i can't get online.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

Can't Connect to Other Computers on My Network

I am unable to connect to other computers on my network. When I go to Finder/GO/Network the next window which should display the servers on the network, opens momentarily and then closes. After that, nothing happens when I repeat the sequence. I am able to get out on the internet but am unable to connect to the other computers on the network, so I think my Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway is working. The computer is an intel Mac Pro running OS 10.4.11. My wife is able to connect to other computers on the network with her iMac running OS 10.3.9. Any suggestions for remedying this would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully Apple will come to your aid
• Make sure all the computers on your LAN are on AppleTalk w/ File Sharing: On
• Check the Firewall settings of all workstations
• Confirm that your User or Admin account has sufficient Privileges to access sharepoints
• Reboot all machines to flush their DHCP lease or IP bottleneck
P.S. there are known issues currently with Leopard File Sharing to-and-from pre-Leopard OS X's. I do not know why your window magically closes itself. Last, run Software Update. Good luck.

How many computers can you connect, how many computers can you connect

Hi Folks I have just purchase Apple TV and was wondering if you can connect more than one computer/iTunes libarary to Apple TV. My reasoning for asking is we have a few Itunes accounts in our home so thought there was potential for others to connect their Powerbooks to the TV or is it restricted to me only.
I look forward to your responses.
Jim

HT4262 How can I connect 6 computers simultaneously to Airport extreme?

I have tried troubleshooting several ways and the some computers work and others don't. How can I connect 6 wireless computers to Airport Extreme?

Matt
Is it possible to speak on the phone? The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem. After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?
Thanks

Can't connect via Screen Share or Web Server, but can ping and ssh

Bit of an odd problem here.
My Mountain Lion Mac Pro (called "Trogdor" for convenience) is connected to my work university network. I can ping it from anywhere-- elsewhere on the network, from home behind a firewall. Can connect over ssh from everywhere. I can also connect to other computers (on the same network or at home behind a firewall) from Trogdor via ssh, Screen Sharing, etc.
But I can't Screen Share into Trogdor, and I can't connect to Trogdor's built-in web server, either system-wide (in /Library/WebServer) or for my username (~/Sites). (I can connect to the web server from Trogdor.)
Note that I can do both of these for other computers on the same network (same subnet, etc), so it's not a network issue. I can't do these from anywhere: same network or from home. I have this problem whether I use Trogdor's hostname or its IP address. (I can look up its hostname using the IP address with the "host" tool in Terminal, and vice versa.)
So it sounds like a port issue, right? Except I don't think I've ever messed with my port settings directly. How do I diagnose the problem? Should I scan my ports? Can I return port settings to default?
Thanks!

How can I connect to more than one computer from external ip

Hi
I have been using remote desktop for some time and have a port forward set so I can connect to our mail server from anywhere else externally from my macbook pro, but how can I connect to other macs in the office when there only seems to be the two ports available for use 5900 and 3283. I can only port forward to one computer? How can I connect to multiple computers when not within the same network? are there other ports available?
Cheers
Tony

If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install third-party VNC software on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while other VNC systems can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=RemoteDesktop/3.0/en/ARDC715.html to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

Can't connect to computers on the same network and same office

Hi everyone, I have this problem from some time now, I have on the same network some computers with ethernet, and some with Wi-Fi.
All are connected to the C-Net Wireless-G Router.
My iBook is on the Wi-Fi zone (All have 10.4.11) and I can see the computers on the Ethernet area, but I have an iMac 2.0 next to my iBook and I can't see it.
How is that possible? Am I making something wrong with the subnet mask or IP address?
All are configured to use 192.168.1.254 as the router and on the subnet 255.255.255.0. Manually.
The IP variates from device to device on the 192.168.1.X numbers, starting with 100 on the iMac, and ending with 113 on an old 8600.
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
If anyone could give me a hand here, I will apprettiate the advice.
Thaks to everyone, Pablo from Argentina.

You are on a different subnet. In x.x.x.0 the x's are different.
All the computers are in the same subnet, cable ones and wi fi ones.

Look at what ip addresses you have on each machine.
I have different IPs on each machine, do you need the numbers?
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility.app
Use the ping command to see what is going on. Ping 192.168.1.254, source & destination machine. 127.0.0.1 is an alias of the machine you are on.

check out port scan. This will tell you if sharing is on.

Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

Hi.
I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password. However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try. I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either. We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
Again, my router is a WRT54G.
Thanks !!!

Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?
Thanks,

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.

My roommates computers can't connect to the router!

Hey, so I've got this Cisco Lynksys E1200 and I've got internet going to it. When I first tried to connect to it my computor automaticaly set it up (giving the network a name, changing it from tehdefault "Cisco67809" to my perfered natwork name, etc.). The problem is that my rommates laptops cant seem to connect to it properly. I know their internet cards work because they have been able to access the internet via other nearby networks on occasion.
On the 2nd computor it skips the usual..."Conecting to network" attempt and instead just says it cant connect, but its so quick to say that it cant connect that it doesn't even seem to be trying, no request for password or anything! Yet we know the computor does try to connect to other networks, so why would it be so quick to deny a connection with our network without even telling us its "trying to connect"? It then gives the options to "diagnose the problem" or "connect to another network" but the diagnose function just says it can't do anything and gives no information about whats going on.
With the 3rd computor it does connect, or so it says "conected" but with "Limited Acess" and absolutly no accesss to actual internet content.
I have tried to fully reset the router multiple times, creating brand new networks, but the same issue continues to happen. I thought it might have decided my computor was the only one allowed to access it because on each reset I was using my computor to set up the network, but when I reset it and tried to have my roomate on computor #2 set up the router and network (aka change it fromdefault Cisco67809 to our own in house network) it did not allow him to set up the network from scratch as I had done twice.
Why is this router rejecting computors and what can be done to get them online? When I log in to the routers settings it says it is set to allow up to 50 users. So far we have my laptop, and Ipad, and an I touch conneted successfully. Why cant we get the two other laptops on it?

Hi,
Can you try to clear or remove the Wireless Network Profile from those computers that can't connect? Then, try to reconnect afterwards. Probably, those old profiles stored on other computer have different wireless settings. On the E1200, make sure that MAC address filtering and Parental Control are disabled. Access your router's setup page then go to Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter > then check if it's Disabled. For Parental Control, you can access it via Access Policy tab.
Hope this helps.
